0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes we think heaven looks like America or

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>something like that.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's like.

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>It looks nothing like that. This was a Tuesday in

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the world. Is every kind of person's lined up just

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to stand there and just to kiss the stone where Jesus.

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Late episode five oh seven, Chris Tomlin returns one of

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 3>my favorite people in Nashville. Is just the best of

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 3>a genuine affinity for Chris, and hopefully you can tell

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 3>during this interview at Chris Tomlin is his Instagram if

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 3>you want to follow him, and we do talk about everything,

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 3>including the music he's putting out or now has put out,

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 3>and even the oldest song ever written.

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that's the wildest part.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like eighteen hundred years old.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah. Did you feel like my Bob Dylan reference.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Minimized it because he's talking about it, so you'll hear

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 3>a song that was written basically on a tablet. Yeah,

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a good co and the Christian War

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, well, Bob Dylan wagon Will says.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Like, no, this song is eighteen hundred years old. Yeah,

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 2>so uh yeah.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I love Chris and his good Friday Nashville shows are

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 3>the best we went last year. He's got worship under

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 3>the Stars, which we talk about here. He is, which,

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 3>by the way, Chris Tomlin is tied with Taylor Swift

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>as the number two ranking of artists headlining Bridgestone. I

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 3>think McGraw has the number one spot. But also Chris

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Tomlin's like one of the biggest touring artists in the world.

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that crazy?

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>It is wild because a lot of artists big in America,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 3>not that big everywhere else. Chris Tomlin big in America,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 3>big other places too, because the music, just Christian music

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>is for Christians everywhere. National man, Chris Tomlin. Here he returned.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to read the should read the princes, No,

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 3>I should read Okay, okay. Chris Tomlin returns, episode five

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.720

<v Speaker 3>wouldn't feel awkward this happening, and I did, And I

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 3>want to say this to begin with, I didn't feel award,

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.640

<v Speaker 3>we know you and you came up and we were

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>sitting at Urban Market. Yeah, and I was like, you

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>know what, one of the maybe three people that wouldn't

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 3>be awkward as we're sitting and they came and dominated

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 3>us because you're standing, You're dominating, You're over the top.

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.520

<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 3>But social media is so weird though, because I feel like,

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 3>even though I'm not, I kind of feel like I'm

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.160

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 3>I know, chriss up to me. Of course, I was

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 3>thinking about yesterday because my in laws we're talking about

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Easter and they are either going to come here to

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 3>do the show or we're going to go there to

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Oklahoma and do something there. But the selling point was,

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 3>I know, Chris Amlin.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.160

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 3>that's why. But if we lose, that's why it wasn't

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 3>quite strong enough.

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.840

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's all I'm involved. Okay, well, not all that

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 3>is involved. That's how I'm involved.

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Yes, As approached to that in the last fall and.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Said, hey, they're coming out with this, and I was

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>so excited anything about David. I mean, I could go

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>on and on, but I was like, are you kidding me?

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be I hope they do this

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>well because it's going to be what insane, what an

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>incredible story. So yeah, man, that was I was involved,

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was as I as I normally am in

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the night. It's one of the when

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>when the ideas came, and I just I had this idea,

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's one of my favorite lyrics I've

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>ever written. And it was the first line of the song,

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and I went, I got up in the mill of

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>night and sing it into my phone, and it just

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and it said this.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 2>It says, h I.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Got a sling in one hand, I gotta I gotta

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>harp harp in one hand, and a sling and a

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>sling in the other for the battles I fight, I

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>fight with these. And I thought, that's that's David. And

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I wrote this song after you. It's called

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>after your Heart. The Bible says David was a man

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>after God's own heart. And so I wrote this little

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 1>idea of of all his ups and downs, his triumphs

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and his failures and and so that was my favorite,

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite things I've.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Gotten to wright.

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Did they approach you about doing a song for it first?

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 3>And then that came as you had it on your mind?

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Or is it the Yeah, it was we're making this

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 3>House of David? Do you do you have a song

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 3>about David?

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I don't, but I've never a

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>song about him, But I would like the challenge.

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I guess to me, it would go in my mind,

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>I would go, well, which version, like which part of

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 3>the David story? Right as like the King the powerful

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 3>or David as you talk about the slang like there's

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>difference like Michael Jordan, do you talk about his early

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 3>years with the Bulls? Do you do when he won

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 3>three and three? Do the Wizards?

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes? So that to me, that would be what I

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>would think about. How, yeah, if I were going to

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>do a song about David, it's a big story. Did

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they give you a parted like we want?

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And they gave zero because at that point they didn't

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of guides. They're like, oh, we don't

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of guides. Just kind of write something.

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know they said, Psalm forty's taken, Psalm twenty

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 1>three is taken, and uh, which is I figured? But

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>like write something from just anything you think about. So

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that idea of of David being, you know, the the

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>worship leader of the Bible, right, he wrote the songs,

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 1>he wrote the songs of the time of of praise

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to God, write the psalms. Always kid that one day

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to meet David in heaven and he's gonna

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>have words of me, because I get a lot of

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>credit for things he wrote, because it's I take all

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>this my songs from the psalms. And so when I

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>when that line came, you know, that opening line, I've

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>got a slinging. I've got a harp in one hand

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and a sling and the other for the battles I fight.

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>I fight at these. I thought, that's David.

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 1>He was such a He was a he had a

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>heart for God, and he was a warrior. And that

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that idea of that harp and that sling those two

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>things two two completely different weapons, you know, but both

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>one is kind of the spiritual world, you know, and

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>one is the physical world. And he was a he

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:23.119
<v Speaker 1>was a fighter in both.

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 3>So before I move to the next thing, sorry, no,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 3>no hearing you talk about things, I have like one

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 3>hundred questions based on what you just said. But Uh,

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 3>when I am doing comps Bible comps to myself and

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 3>people that I either want to emulate or or things

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I want to avoid, I think about Saul, how pride,

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>how prideful Saul was, and which led which you know,

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 3>the diminishing king. Uh, and pride is really what cost him.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's a comp that I make that I

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 3>try not to be. Yeah, and that because again David

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 3>ends up following Saul. Yeah, you know the story. I

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 3>don't have to tell you this story.

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, but like it's amazing because but all would say

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>play the harp right because it eased him.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 2>And I try to I try to not be Saul. Right.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 3>I just read The Alchemist I have I can't remember it.

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I read it so long ago. I loved it. I

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 3>loved it, and it was one of those books that

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 3>everybody's always read and or read a long time ago,

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 3>and I just never have. And I'm in a place

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>now my life where I kind of don't know I'm

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 3>in many ways, I am exactly where I want to be,

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.319
<v Speaker 3>but I've never been more lost. At the same time, Yeah,

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 3>it's like this odd juxtaposition, like I know exactly who

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I am, but I also have no clue more than ever.

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 3>And I was flipping through books cause I like to read.

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 3>I just finished the fiction book and I'm usually not

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 3>even a fiction reader, and I flipped like seven or eight,

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 3>and for no reason, the Alchemist came up and I

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:54.839
<v Speaker 3>clicked it and read it and I read it like

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 3>a day and a half. And not that I'm a

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 3>pretty fast reader, but I was just so in. And

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 3>it's about finding your personal legend, yes, yes, yes, and

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 3>not really attached to any religion, right, because there are

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 3>references to Christ all and all, but but they make

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 3>sure to go this is not specifically related to religion, right,

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>And in that, you know, there's a pride theme.

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 2>And I thought about just.

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 3>This story specifically, and you talking about that just kind

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 3>of retriggered.

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Retriggered.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 3>That is, I try to not be Saw, like That's

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 3>what I truly, you know, I try to not and

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 3>not be Saw. David's David's an odd, remarkable, amazing story.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It's all of those, It's all of it. It's the

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 3>it's the triumph and the failure me. He failed as

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 3>big as you can fail.

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, I don't think too many people have

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>done worse than he's done, and yet somehow he had

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>this heart after God too. And so it's very relatable,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think to anybody. I think that's why I'm so

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>excited they were doing something like that. It's like that

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is so relatable to anyone. A lot of people's maybe

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>people like, well, I'm never gonna be the king of anything,

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>but that's just the power of his story and just like.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>You don't, he didn't have it altogether, you know.

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we look at these the especially a Bible characters,

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like there's these mythical creatures like they're these saints and wow, man,

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>these just had so many flaws and yet to did

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>incredible things as well.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna run into something by it.

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 3>We just talked about on a podcast last week, and

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I was talking about misunderstood finger quote villains.

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I bring up Judas.

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, Okay, we can get going on this and

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 3>so and and I was talking to one of my

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 3>friends who reads the Bible every day. Yeah, and to

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>most people just to name Judas because of how it's

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 3>referenced for the most part obviously is one who betrays

0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 3>He betrayed Christ, and how I has suggested on a

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 3>microphone to my friend on second look, if Jesus is

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 3>all knowing, which he is, that had to be put

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 3>into place, Yeah, for all of it to happen, the crucifixion, So.

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Judas would not have been there to begin with.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 3>If it weren't for Jesus. Judas betrayed Jesus just as

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 3>was predicted. Judas is seen as the betrayal.

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Very much so.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 3>But my presentation, I wouldn't even say argument, because we

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 3>were just looking at characters fictional or nonfiction that we

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 3>have a signed attack too. We did ben Atic Arnold

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 3>and it was, but we spent a lot of time

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 3>on Judas and I really feel like, oh, Judas kind

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 3>of gets the raw end sometimes because I feel like

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 3>he was selected to do just that, and without him

0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 3>doing just that, the Crucifixion, all of it, it would

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 3>have happened.

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 3>And so in conclusion of my mini ted talk, I said,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we should give Judas a second look

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 3>and maybe understand that Christ understood what needed to happen

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 3>for what needed to happen to happen.

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on that theory.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's go, let's.

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Just go deep in. This was literally on the last

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>podcast we did.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I just got to be a part of

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>this movie called The Last Supper. And the reason I

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>was interested in being a part of the movie and

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>helping get the word out about this movie is because

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it took the different look the Last Supper. Obviously Jesus

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the central character, but really it's Peter and Judas. It's

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>through the lens of Peter and Judas, both of whom

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, don't have a great part in this story

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Last Supper. Well with Judas. What I was

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>so moved by is that I was is that moment

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in at the scene Okay, let me, let me just

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>set the scene there in Jesus like, okay, let's have

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this passover meal. It's this it's it's passed over time,

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and let's have this meal and get get it all together,

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and just like they would normally do year after year

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>after year, but this time it was different. And he

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 1>began to wash their feet, and that's the famous where

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>he starts washing Peter's feet. He's like, what are you doing?

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Peter's like, what are you doing? He's like, yeah, I'm

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>so you're I don't even I'm not even worthy to

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>tell your sandals.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing?

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, this is I'm showing you, I'm serving you,

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and this is what I want you to do others

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and he washes Judas and he's and you're like and

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>then there's and I was really struck by the movie.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I was like, I've been I've been

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a follower of Jesus. I've been a Christian most of

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>my life since i was a kid, and I've studied

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and I've read the Bible and I've heard all the stories,

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, I saw it a brand new again because

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw this moment where Jesus changes the whole thing

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and he takes the bread as he normally would pass around,

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but this time he breaks it and he's like, this

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>is my body.

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Actually I'm about to be broken for you in it.

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And you see the guys, you see these disciples, you

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>see these brothers, these friends, they're just friends, right. We

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>know him as the Saint Thomas and Saint Matthew and

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>sat these were just these were normal guys and they're

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure it out. And which is crazy is

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>most of them I learned through this Most of them

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>were teenagers or early twenties. So think about that, they're

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>eighteen nineteen years old and this they're about to change

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the entire world. And Jesus like, he changes the whole thing.

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm breaking this, and he starts handing the

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>bread because this is actually my body. And they're just

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>they're looking a each other like, whoa, this is different.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>This is not how this normal goes. And he takes

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the cup and he's like, and this is my blood.

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>This was about to happen.

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 2>And when you once you remember me when you do this.

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>And yet he and he but he gives the bread

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's he gives it, and Judas and Peter are there,

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm thinking I just saw it brand new because

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, Wow, this is the picture the forgiveness of

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>God that all for me, for you, for everybodyho's listening

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to this. How powerful that even though Jesus knew what

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>was coming, he knew that he was about to go

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to the cross, they did not understand. They were still

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure it out, like what was he talking about.

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>He's like, it's all coming down to it's all about

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to happen. I'm about to be killed for the sins

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of the world. And yet he knew that one of them.

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>He's looking at one of them, and you're going to

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>deny me. You're about to I know you're going to

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>go and say, even though you say you're gonna be

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>with me till the end, you're about to say you don't.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Even know who I am.

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>When a little girl asks you, aren't you with him?

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>And you're gonna say, no, I don't even know who

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that is. And then Judas, you're about to go for

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>some money, turn me in, And that kind of what

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of getting at, that to me shows the

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>side of the Gospel, of the good News, of this message.

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>It puts it.

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>In a in a powerful way of like, man, Jesus

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>knew this, like you said, and yet he's he's like,

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this for you.

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 2>You know I know what you're about to do. This

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>is still for you.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's man that And then when I saw I

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>saw myself, I just saw myself in that in those guys.

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>How much in me is is a man. Sometimes I'm

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Peter and I'm the bodyguard Jesus. I will no one's

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna take you. I will go with you to the end.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And then I found myself through my actions, through my

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>words denying him. I found myself betraying. I find myself

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>in the same place. And so I think that's why

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that that picture is there, is to help people, to

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>help me and to help us remember that this was this,

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>This was for This is for those who were going

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to betray into into wrong Jesus, and yet it was

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>for them and for the for the world, for all

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of us because we're all in that basket, none of us.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>It may look a little bit different, but we're all

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in that in that basket with those guys. And so

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that that's been such a a beautiful picture reminder to

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>me this this kind of this Easter season, because of

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 1>being a part of that movie and helping get that

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 1>made and showing that picture to people again of just

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>how that moment.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 3>So would you support my theory of since Jesus is

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 3>all knowing and he knew that he was going to

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 3>do it and that needed to happen, that he I

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.360
<v Speaker 3>don't think he should just be universally be the bad guy.

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to agree, by the way, you can

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>you can totally no, no, no, A year a moron, because

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I hear that.

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.679
<v Speaker 2>All day, all day, every day. That's all I hear

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>all day, not I think, I mean, there's not.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>No, there's not a lot of people been named Judas

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>since then, and.

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Exactly a couple of names that have died Judas ate off.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 3>There have been a few of these that we just

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.959
<v Speaker 3>don't do anymore. Yes, Judas bonesy No, none, none of that.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Judas Bones is not happening. But yeah, there is. There's

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 3>a reason for that. But yes, I mean it was.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.680
<v Speaker 3>That was part of the plan and Judas was Yeah,

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Jesus part the plant. And so I will say this,

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.959
<v Speaker 3>and this is not to be over spiritual, but if

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 3>we throw Judas away, we must well throw everybody else away.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.919
<v Speaker 3>Exactly my point. That's what over spiritual. That's just talking

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 3>about the topic we're talking about. Yeah, it's you know,

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 3>because who any of us? Who?

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Who? Who has it?

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Toget who wouldn't Well, I see a bit again. I say,

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I try to be sold about. I want to be

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 3>more David. But there's definitely Sall on me. There's definitely

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 3>David in me. There's definitely Judas. We all it's it's this,

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 3>we're all that For me, I'm just trying to push

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 3>down the ones that the characteristics I don't like, and

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 3>really trying to accentuate the ones that I do. Yes,

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 3>you did no Greater Love for the Last Supper? Yes,

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 3>And that you're in credits is a different song and

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 3>you know it's no Gary Love is and in credits,

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 3>so that is that's when it airs.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, how much of it? Do they run the whole song?

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>And are you mad people walk out during your song? Exactly?

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, this is the only I just want to say, hey, guys,

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 3>wait because as soon as starts trolling on, everybody's getting up.

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, wait, wait, wait, let's please listen to this song.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Did they they run the wholesome? They run the all song? Yeah?

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 2>And did they tell you write a song for it?

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Or did you have it?

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 1>That's how I got involved with the movie. Obviously it

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>started with music. They didn't come to me, Hey, we

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 1>know you make.

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Great movies, because that's never happened. And the first started

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 3>with music. And these guys, the producers and people putting

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 3>this movie together, said you have any music for this,

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 3>any song for this that could work. And I said, well,

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.679
<v Speaker 3>let me see the can I see this screening of it?

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 3>That showed me kind of this the idea of what

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 3>they had so far, and I was like, I really

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 3>like this, Like would you like to be involved in

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 3>a greater way? And I was like, I was like yeah,

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, I think I have a song.

0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 3>And so the crazy thing is I had just gone

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 3>out to some valley, Idaho.

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Hubbard had asked me and a couple of songwriters

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to put together a little songwriting camp together

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>out out there at Ernest Hemingway's house. Mattgic it's a

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>part of that, right, yes, yeah, one of our buddies here, Yeah,

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Matt and Corey Crowder and Magic.

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 2>It's Tyler Hubbard.

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Hey, would you get wet to come out and we're

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna write at Ernest Hemingway's place.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my gosh, that'd be so cool.

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 1>And it's this obviously it's historical landmark and you can

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 1>use the basement and a lot of poets come and

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>write poetry there, something and things. So we were writing

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, oh, this is my chance to you know,

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>write some country music, and that's be fun. I don't

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>ever get in that lane hardly ever. And as soon

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>as I get there, they're like, hey, we want to

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 1>write a song with you. I write like in your World.

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like okay. I was like okay, and they're like

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and Matt Jenkins said, you know, I've just been thinking

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>about this.

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Line.

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I've been thinking about this verse no greater Love and

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.959
<v Speaker 1>John fifteen he just said, he said, no greater love

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>than this, that a man laid down his life for

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 1>his friends.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>This is in January. Okay.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm thinking, I just keep thinking about that verse,

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>there's no greater love than a man laid down his

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>life for his friends. And have you read Have you

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>never a song like that? It's like, I don't.

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He said, what about that? So let's do it?

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>And so we wrote this song, no Greater Love, and

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>had this made this demo and it's really beautiful. I

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.239
<v Speaker 1>think it's a powerful, powerful lyric and the idea of

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>trading the crown of Jesus, trading the kind of the

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>crown of glory for crown of thorns and just this

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the sacrifice right. And a couple of weeks later, I

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 1>get approached with this movie do you guys, have you

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 1>have a song that could work with this? And I

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>was like Wow, I think this I've played on this song.

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I got this demo. I haven't played

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 1>for anybody. I just wrote this song with some friends.

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me play this demo, and.

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>They're like, this is the song, this is perfect for this.

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So it was one of those moments where I feel

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like things were lined up and I was like, let's

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.199
<v Speaker 1>do it. So I got involved in not just a

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>song for the movie, but just just helping shape a.

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Little bit more. That's pretty cool.

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like your world's are you're expanding? Yes, oh

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 3>so so fun. But the expansion is cool because it's

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 3>you're getting involved in things by doing what you already do.

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, yeah, but it's yes, other things. Yeah, it's

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 3>just really cool to see the growth of like what

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 3>you do and how it's incorporated into other projects.

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:55.479
<v Speaker 2>And it was natural for me.

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not like a movie or a subject

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything about. So it was really good,

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Like this worked for me because it's like, yeah, I do.

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I would love to share more about this and help

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 2>people see.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 3>The Good Friday Show was so good last year. The

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 3>first time i'd been was it was awesome and uh,

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 3>but you know, frankly speaking, I was like, I want

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 3>to go. I think it's going to be good. I

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 3>like Chris, so I hope it's good because if not,

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.360
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be kind of awkward. If I'm like, I'm not going.

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>To tell you it's not, I wouldn't be like, man,

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 2>lackluster show. Huh.

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 3>But it's always weird to watch your because I don't

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 3>know you in that way, meaning I know what you do,

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I know your music.

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I've never been to a concert.

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't go to anybody's concerts anymore because either I'm

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 3>on the road or I'm asleep.

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 2>That's it. And so we go. We were very excited

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>about it, and it was it was it was awesome.

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, yeah, and thank you You've done what I've found.

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:47.800

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be the night of nights. If you're if

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.239
<v Speaker 1>you can, it's gonna be streamed. If you can't, if

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you're can't get to Nashville or not there. But it's

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a really beautiful night.

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 4>Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 4>and we're back on the Bobby cast.

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:07.479
<v Speaker 3>I want to ask you a question about your job. Yes,

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 3>we both love our jobs. Our jobs are a massive

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 3>part of who we are. Hopefully they're not all of

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 3>who we are, right But being so immersed in your work,

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 3>how do you keep it fresh, especially something that is

0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 3>thousands of years old? How are you able to constantly

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 3>keep it fresh? In the music side of things, Sure,

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 3>anything creative, anything, because.

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>You can go hymns.

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean we can walk through even Yeah, you know

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 3>the eighties and nineties and when I started to from Carmen,

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I'd go to Carmen Show's or you do Jars.

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Of Klay Newsboys, all of that.

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Like, there has been Yeah Christian music and always yeah sonically,

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 3>but the message is the same. So how do you

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.399
<v Speaker 3>make it different when it's kind of the message should

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 3>remain somewhat the same.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a great question. I mean I think it's

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just been something that I didn't first of all. And

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean this, I never chose this. I feel like

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>it chose me. This is something that I feel called

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to since I was a kid, and it's a it's

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>like a burning passion in me. I never thought it

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 1>would be music. I thought it would be something to

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>help people connect with God. I didn't know it would

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>be music, but so that this, this, this whatever, this

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 1>pool inside of me as is something that I didn't

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to keep trying to keep going.

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's always there, like angles on songs.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Because even in country music, which is always evolving and

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 3>changing and you have so much more to work with,

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:49.679
<v Speaker 3>it feels like than the message. Even these guys here,

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 3>my friends are like, we keep writing the same song

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 3>over and over again. We just got to find a

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 3>slightly different way.

0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're doing it on something that's been running over

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for thousands of years, thousands of years, and I just

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 1>got which we can get into. I just got to

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 1>be a part of a song that's literally eighteen hundred

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 1>years old. It will be the earliest song ever ever

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>found in our faith that we're just we're about to

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>put out. It's a whole another, it's a documentary everything.

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>It's insane. We can get to that.

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 3>But this is.

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's always trying to help people. Here's what I

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:19.360
<v Speaker 2>try to do for me. It's help.

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I've always said I want to help people see. If

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I can help people see and then they'll sing the

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 1>more you see the more you sing. And what I

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>mean by that is, if for me and my songs,

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>if I can help give people a picture in their heart,

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in their mind of God's goodness, his grace, his mercy,

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>his forgiveness, his glory, and write that in a way

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that helps people see, then.

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 2>You can't help but praise. If I can help people.

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>See it, and then then they'll they'll praise God. And

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.600
<v Speaker 1>for me, it's always been about I think the beautiful

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>thing is is it's always been about the song for me,

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 1>helping people connect with the song. It's not been about, Hey,

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I've got to build my brain, and to me, I've

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:01.879
<v Speaker 1>never tried to do that.

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I've just tried to help. I've tried to hopefully just

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 2>the song is.

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>The song is what this is the star, The song

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>is what is connects with people and so it's it's

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just pushing for the best songs possible. And you know,

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 1>just lately with this song Holy Forever, it's been another

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>moment like I've had these moments along with this.

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 2>It's almost almost.

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Thirty years now, man, thirty years of touring and traveling,

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and I've had these moments, these like these little marking

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:31.840
<v Speaker 1>moments of like these songs that I can just look

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>and goues that was the kind of temple in that

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:38.679
<v Speaker 1>in that moment and this and to be this far

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>along and have it and God give me a song

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like Holy Forever that's really connected around the world again.

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's been so it's been so special. And I

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>can tell you when when we were when it was

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>writing it, I was thinking, Okay, this feels like I

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>always I never feel this, but when I felt, I

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>sent a text to a friend of mine said, I

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like this song is going to be really really

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.679
<v Speaker 1>special in some way and I and it's been.

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>It's been, It's been incredible.

0:28:05.880 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 3>If I wrote songs like you, I would send every

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 3>song to a different friend so I could always say

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 3>I texted this song to a friend and knew it

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 3>was going to be special, so I wouldn't be lying.

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I would just text different friends all one song. I'd

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 3>be like, this song, you have it down, it's on record.

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 3>I have said this song is a very special. Yeah, yeah, whenever,

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 3>because I want to hear the story about this song

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 3>that yeah. But to me, there wagon will which was

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.880
<v Speaker 3>I could Bob Dylan semi finished demo that existed randomly

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 3>was never put out in the catch from old Crow

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 3>finishes writing it, yes, and then wagon will becomes massive.

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 2>They do it, then Darius does it.

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 3>So that's a version of of a story that I

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 3>think of when it's like an old song that isn't

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 3>totally done is then finished and then is I want.

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Saya but just but relevant? Yes?

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, brought back to life? Yes, So give me your

0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 3>version of this that you're talking about. This song is

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 3>six hundred years.

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Old, teen hundred years old. So I got to approach

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 2>this this year.

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean this last fall with this guy from his

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>name is Ben Fielding and he's he's a songwriting friend.

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>He said, hey, I want to connect you with this

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>with this friend of mine. He's this he's a brainiac.

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>His name is John Dickinson and he's he's from Australia.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And he said, I've got this song. I've got I

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>want somebody to bring this song back. He goes, there

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>was this piece of scrap paper that was found in Egypt,

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in this a town called oxy Reinos in Egypt, and

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 1>he said, it's in a vault in Oxford. Now it's

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's just a little piece of scrap paper and

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it's the earliest known him. I just known song with

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>musical notation, has musical notation on the notation makes no

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>sense to us. I don't even understand what it is.

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's in that time and it's dated to the

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>third century, so the two hundreds, and this is and

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a piece of a hymn and it's missing about

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 1>they said, missing about ten to twelve words, but it's

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>got like twenty five thirty words on it and they're

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>beautiful and they're powerful. He said, we've translated, and it's translated,

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and here is the old melody. And I can't really

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's really interesting melody. But the like, would you

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and Ben this other songwriter friend, would y'all be interested

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 1>in maybe bringing this to life again and bringing this

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>back and bringing this hymn? And he said, we're making

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a document documentary because there's so many things about this

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>hymn they're special, and so we did, and so it

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 1>releases in a week from now and it's called the

0:30:38.080 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>First Hymn And the lyrics are beautiful.

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I think this week, Mike, right, because it's daring this Yeah,

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 3>So it's out this Friday.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or is it right now. I think it'll be

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 2>out now.

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Hey, it's out now, it's out now, it's out now. Okay,

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:49.239
<v Speaker 3>it's out now.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So the first hymn, and when you hear this, here's

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 1>here's here's some I wish I could tell the backstory

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>for everybody who listens this, but's here's a song. But

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 1>here's why this is such a big deal is to

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>think about these words that are being sung are not

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>only I mean almost almost two thousand years old. This

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>would have been the grandkids of the disciples, right, This

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>had been that generation, and this is what they were singing.

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>This was a time when those who that were spreading

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 1>this message of Christianity would have been killed. They were

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to wipe Christianity out. This is under incredible persecution.

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>So obviously it's anonymous. Did these guys who wrote this

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 1>or make it or were singing this, did they even

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>make it?

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Who knows? But would they ever.

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Dream that wherever they were in their little cave singing

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 1>this song together or their little house together, that eighteen

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred years from now, that this would be on a

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>thing called Spotify or Apple Music and people be starting

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to sing this in the church, be starting to sing

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>this again. That's powerful to me. There's a couple of things.

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>There's the last line of the hymn, says and to

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the you wrote or there's on there, that's on there,

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>he says, to the only Giver of all good gifts,

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm in, I'm in. And the guy the this historian

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>who said why this was so important is in that

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 1>day and time, pagan worship mostly to Zeus and other

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>gods would to to worship them. To go into any

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:24.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of worship service, quote unquote, you would start with

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Giver of all good gifts. And that's how

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>all the worship would start to the Giver of all

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 1>good gifts, he says. And for this, for this little

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 1>ragtag remnant of people to end their song with to

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the only Giver of all good gifts was quite a

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>it was just such a pushback to society and culture.

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's powerful and I think that it's a

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just a powerful thing. And I and it's just

0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>so to be a part of that. And like you said,

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to what kind of music, what kind of songs have

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that kind of history? You know, I was thinking about this,

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>just this long line of of of songs and music

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that we just try to keep carrying on throughout the ages.

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Is so special.

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 1>One are the music notes look like because yeah, they

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>look like they look a little bit like they almost

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 1>look like Chinese characters or something like that.

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Not like the stick with the fat little moment, not

0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>like that, not like that.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>In the melody we have a you hear a girl

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 1>singing this week, we brought in this Egyptian girl just

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to the hook. Is the is the ancient melody? And

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 1>ah I mean, I mean the word I'm in. But

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 1>they would sing it all together. Ah I mean, I mean, ah,

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and so we have this guitar line and

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 1>she's singing that over and so again. Most people hear

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that will not have any context for it. But that

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>is that literally, that melody was eighteen hundred years ago.

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>When you finished that, did I don't know?

0:34:00.000 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 2>What does that feel like? Because you're just kind of

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 2>redid it? I mean I was.

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit of trembling because I was like,

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I just want to carry I want to carry this

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>well out. I mean, I want to get it right.

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to do the very best I can. And

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>with such a gift, such a song that you know,

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>was meant a lot to those people and means a

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 1>lot today.

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, I was. You just never know. I

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.320
<v Speaker 2>never know. Songs are look, this is going to be.

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 3>This is it?

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, but especially something like this. She's like, this

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>is the best I can do, and I hope, I

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>hope it does a justice.

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 3>So the first him you can listen to it, but

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 3>also the it's on Wonder the platform, Wonder if you

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:42.759
<v Speaker 3>want to watch the documentary. What if we're going to

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 3>throw this at you? What if they find an older song?

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 3>And now this is now the second hymn?

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Have you thought about that?

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 3>I definitely have, because all of a sudden I have,

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 3>And so I went back ten times. It's like, should

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 3>we really call this that person? Because obviously there's the psalms.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.600
<v Speaker 3>The songs are older than that, sure, and.

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 1>But this is the first ever, it is the first

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>song ever found with musical notation, and it's to find

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 1>they said, the chances of finding something would be who knows,

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:14.920
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of years from now, and so then I I

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>won't have to deal with it something else, but they'll.

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Just be my luck.

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Though they find another one like a week after we're

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 3>done it, and it's a week earlier. Yeah, and it's

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 3>like the real first him and I'm like, oh man,

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 3>this is from the fifties, yes, the year fifty. I

0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:29.800
<v Speaker 3>feel like there would be an immense pressure on you

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 3>to love Christmas, to love Christmas, not even for the

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Jesus element, just you just need to like embrace Christmas.

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 3>And if you're not Chris Christmas, I mean your name

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 3>is Chris and Christmas. Tomlin, Yeah, I feel like there's

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.800
<v Speaker 3>a pressure that you got to be mister Christmas just

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:51.240
<v Speaker 3>around the house. No, not definitely, not around the house,

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:54.400
<v Speaker 3>but like the biggest light displayed, like you gotta be.

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel that pressure? Hilarious? Love?

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 3>I love how this goes. Where do we went from

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:02.240
<v Speaker 3>here to Christmas?

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Like that that quick?

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I just think when you're talking about things, I'm like,

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, in my mind, I've got eight things one

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 3>at once, Like and We've had the discussion where I

0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:11.800
<v Speaker 3>think everybody X like like they have to be on

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 3>their p's and q's around you because.

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 2>You'll just literally call God and be like and tell

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>on them.

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Like I told you that last time that people they

0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 3>probably act in a way towards you where they can't

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 3>be themselves and I found myself the victim of that

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 3>because we're having a party and I told Caitlin, I

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 3>was like, hey, let's invite Chris.

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But we were doing like Casino night. I was like,

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I wish gonnavite.

0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Chrismas you know, and then she goes, you're doing exactly

0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 3>what you would. You said, I loved thank you for

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 3>your so yes, and so I'm okay. So yeah, Christmas.

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I love Christmas.

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I love it anyway, but yes I do. I'm not

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>mister Christmas, but yeah, I've I love it. I love

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the music Christmas, I love I love everything about it,

0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Like you have.

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 2>To be the best present giver of all the nephew.

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I would just think that that would be the pressure

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 3>I would put on myself because that's what you're out

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 3>constantly singing the word. Yeah, and what's more the word

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:02.320
<v Speaker 3>than Christmas? And I'm on tour every Christmas. I do

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:05.879
<v Speaker 3>a Christmas tour every Christmas. Yeah. Yeah, the gifts would

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.280
<v Speaker 3>have to be a plus if I were known for Christmas.

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Now I'm known for my vision, so that's a pretty

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 3>easy one. Yeah, because I can just be like I'm blind,

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, so I don't really have anything that I

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 3>have to do. But when do you When do you

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:18.879
<v Speaker 3>put up the Christmas tree at your house?

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 2>The Christmas tree is right after Thanksgiving? Okay, so that's normal. Yeah,

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that's boring.

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 3>We should change that you should do like when you

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 3>text all your friends, this one is that you should do.

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 2>July fifth, and you're like, you're like it, you know,

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.840
<v Speaker 2>follow me July fifth. So I feel like, guys, Christmas

0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:38.279
<v Speaker 2>every day.

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:52.360
<v Speaker 5>The Bobby cast will be right back. This is the

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 5>Bobby Cast.

0:37:54.160 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 3>I feel like there's a really common thread between country

0:37:56.320 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 3>music and Christian music. I used the word, I'll use

0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:03.359
<v Speaker 3>the term very wide open Christian music. I feel it's

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 3>a very common threat. I think country music is very

0:38:05.040 --> 0:38:09.560
<v Speaker 3>much based and it's belief in God, and I think

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 3>that's why so many artists, yeah, are drawn to you.

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 3>And I think the project that you did with a

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.799
<v Speaker 3>lot of the country artists, I would imagine those were

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:19.640
<v Speaker 3>all pretty quick yess.

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was really fun man, it was Yeah. It

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.040
<v Speaker 1>was something that I wasn't even trying to do. I

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>think we talked about that, but I wasn't even trying

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to do it. It just it was just happened through

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just natural relationship and just a relationships started happening and

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.240
<v Speaker 1>started we should we should smash up our genres.

0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 2>It's all because it's come from this.

0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, country music came from the church, and you got

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:39.439
<v Speaker 1>the rhymen, which is a church. You got the whole

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:41.439
<v Speaker 1>thing comes out of the church. Rock and roll camp,

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 1>everything comes out of the church. You want to talk,

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>if you want to get really going as far as

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>art and everything like that, obviously that's where it all

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 1>came from. It goes its other way, but yeah, I mean, yeah,

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it's so so close.

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:54.880
<v Speaker 2>We went to Austria. My wife and I did never

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 2>been to Austria before, so we went to Austria and it.

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Is amazing, right, growing up, didn't go anywhere, right, so

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 3>now it's like I'm just trying to go see stuff.

0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 2>And we go into a church that was two thousand

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 2>years old whatever it was, I mean, it was almost there.

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 3>That's when I feel history, That's when I feel like

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:21.359
<v Speaker 3>the gravity of existence. And I've been into a couple

0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 3>of churches like that, but we went into one in

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Austria that was like you like to fill your guts.

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Moved around a little bit because of everything that has

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 3>happened underneath that roof. You ever go when you're traveling internationally,

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 3>do you ever go look at some of these really

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 3>old worship I'll just call them places a worship.

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, let me kind of tell you about one, please,

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and it'll be you're like, well, duh, but no, I

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 1>was in Israel and I got to go to the

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 1>site of the cross. And now in Israel, if you've been,

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:52.479
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, I haven't,

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not gonna know. They build churches over everything.

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's not what you think in your mind, because

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 1>they've made the the church came, the Catholic Church came

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:04.439
<v Speaker 1>and built just to memorialize it or church enshrine the place.

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Built these churches over these places.

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 1>So you're going inside a church to see like where

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the cross was or the tomb into tomb, and you're

0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:12.960
<v Speaker 1>one of these huge, huge.

0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Churches and they're ancient, ancient, ancient.

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>But at the side of the cross there was a

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:24.479
<v Speaker 1>place they have the stone where they where they say

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and that Jesus was laid when they took him off

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the cross. This is the stone where Joseph would have

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:33.879
<v Speaker 1>taken him off of arimathea, and they laid him down

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to dress the body. And you're talking about this is

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>something I'll never forget because here's what I saw is

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw this was a normal day in the line

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 1>of people that were lined up, I mean hundreds of

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>people for hours. And I looked at our tour guide

0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, is this suck this every day?

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And he said, obviously not now for the wars things

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 1>like that. He goes, this was a few years ago.

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 1>He said, it's every day. And when it was every

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:09.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of person, Bobby, it was like people, it was

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:14.800
<v Speaker 1>like beautiful African dress, it was Asian, it was it,

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>it was poor, it was rich. It was like every

0:41:17.880 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of person you can think of and look and

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like lined up. And I watched and as everyone

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>approached that stone, and I watched these ladies just kneel

0:41:28.719 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>at that stone and just I mean, and and kiss

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that stone. And I thought, wow, it just it was

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 1>a little picture of heaven for me. I was like, wow,

0:41:38.800 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this is you know, sometimes we think heaven looks like

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 1>America or something like that. Maybe it's like it looks

0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 1>nothing like that. This is this was the whole world.

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 1>This was a Tuesday in the world, every kind of

0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>person's lined up, and He's like every day they line

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>people in this line just to stand there and just

0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:58.279
<v Speaker 1>to just to kiss the stone where Jesus was laid.

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And it was one of the you're talking about everything

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 1>inside you moving. I just stood over to the side

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and just watched and just watched and just watch people

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in their active worship really just come and kneel there

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.479
<v Speaker 1>and just thank God and just you could tell people

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and they would just some people would pray. Some people

0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>would just have a moment and just stop and think

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and just pray. And you can tell their their their

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 1>gratitude and their heart. And I was like, man, what

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a picture of what a beautiful picture of heaven. So

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 1>when I when I get to travel, I try to

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:30.760
<v Speaker 1>go to these places and just so moved.

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 3>Worship has gone through. We talked about this a bit,

0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 3>like stylistic changes over the past twenty years from when

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:40.840
<v Speaker 3>you started, which isn't because again it's not like you

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:43.239
<v Speaker 3>were seven doing this, No, you know, your origin is

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:47.280
<v Speaker 3>not that like it was a bit later. Yeah, Stylistically,

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.320
<v Speaker 3>what have you seen change in concert?

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Like live live?

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't just wanna say music because it's more of

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.399
<v Speaker 3>an experience. But with Christian music, what have you seen

0:42:57.440 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 3>stylistically change in the past twenty years?

0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, so much. What's so much more popular

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I think across our country and it's so much. It

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:09.239
<v Speaker 1>continues to grow, which is awesome as far as the

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 1>live experience and concert But I would say from when

0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I started, it was a little simple songs of a

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:21.480
<v Speaker 1>chorus and that's what was like shaking the church. It's like, oh, mysh,

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>these guys are these guys are radical. They're singing a

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 1>with a guitar and don't bring the drums. It was

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:30.520
<v Speaker 1>it was it was still literally that still like don't

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>don't bring the drums and uh, okay, we'll let the guitar.

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:35.719
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's pushing it.

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And now you know churches are filled with uh, just

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:44.439
<v Speaker 1>modern music and it's and that's that's how it's changed.

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:47.800
<v Speaker 1>But in a way, but I still feel people, I

0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 1>still I still see still, even even the younger generations,

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you still see people longing for the simplicity, longing for

0:43:57.520 --> 0:43:59.920
<v Speaker 1>not all the lights and the sound and the everything,

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:03.600
<v Speaker 1>but but more of just what's real. I think, more

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:05.799
<v Speaker 1>than anything, more than anything now people are just learning

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 1>what is what is real? Don't don't just put on

0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a show, but what is what is really real? People

0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 1>are longing for what's real, and that's what That's what

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I try to hopefully get people in my concerts and

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and my other friends as well as show people what's real.

0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And but yeah, I mean it's it's definitely progressed a lot, especially.

0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:24.680
<v Speaker 2>In the church.

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:27.360
<v Speaker 4>Let's take a quick pause for a message from our

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:38.920
<v Speaker 4>sponsor and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:41.320
<v Speaker 3>When you say what's real, what I think about is

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 3>and I think you're referring to like authenticity, meaning you're

0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 3>not up. And I think in part of what I

0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:49.560
<v Speaker 3>do as well, like if I'm up and I'm perfect

0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 3>and shiny, that's not real. And I can act like

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:54.320
<v Speaker 3>a better version of what I am, but that is

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.480
<v Speaker 3>not going to resonate. It may feel better to me

0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 3>to be like, look at me, life's great, got it

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 3>all figured out, follow along and again for my ego,

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 3>that might feel pretty good, but I also know that

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 3>people are not going to connect with that. They're actually

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.320
<v Speaker 3>going to connect with me when it's like, yeah, I

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:11.600
<v Speaker 3>stuck at this, I struggle with this.

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm good at this I and I when.

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:16.480
<v Speaker 3>You say that, that's what I hear, like, if you're

0:45:16.520 --> 0:45:19.680
<v Speaker 3>able to share not just the glossy part of life

0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:21.280
<v Speaker 3>or worship.

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, because no one that doesn't help anybody. And that's

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 1>what I think when I say, people are looking longing

0:45:27.320 --> 0:45:30.239
<v Speaker 1>for the truth, long for real. Don't just put on

0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:33.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't don't gloss everything over and like, oh everything

0:45:33.600 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>is good. You give your life to God and everything's roses.

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It's man, it's life is hard, life is unfair. Life

0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:45.520
<v Speaker 1>is comes at everybody in such hard ways. And but

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:48.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you have in those moments? I heard somebody

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>recently say, you know, when the storms come, it separates

0:45:53.000 --> 0:45:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the players from the pretenders.

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's the truth in life.

0:45:56.480 --> 0:46:00.839
<v Speaker 1>When the storms come, that separates everybody from those who

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:03.000
<v Speaker 1>are pretending and those who are really there, who are

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>really like and and that is that hit me, you

0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:10.280
<v Speaker 1>know that's then that's that's that's his oldest Jesus teachings.

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:12.239
<v Speaker 1>You can build your house on the rock, you build

0:46:12.239 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 1>your house in the sand, and the storms come, one's

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:18.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay, one's gonna crumble. And that's I think that's

0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:20.399
<v Speaker 1>what people are looking for. And when I say real,

0:46:20.560 --> 0:46:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what I mean.

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:26.879
<v Speaker 2>How long you been married? Fourteen years? What's what's what's

0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 2>what's the key? Yeah, the key is I'm sorry, well

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you forgive me. That is the key. I mean, that

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is the key.

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:42.000
<v Speaker 1>The key is just pretty is pride pushing pride down,

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:47.600
<v Speaker 1>pushing Saul, Yeah, pushing Saul away of like I you know,

0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I deserve this or I rule this or whatever it's.

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 1>It's that's the key I think is and I there's

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>good days, and there's and there's days. I'm so blessed

0:47:00.080 --> 0:47:04.960
<v Speaker 1>by Lauren because she's just so honest and so on me.

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:06.279
<v Speaker 2>It makes me better.

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 3>And it's funny you lead with honest because my wife's

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 3>and I'm ten years behind you. Is why I asked that,

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.919
<v Speaker 3>like in marriage, what we've married four four plus years?

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:18.919
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, my wife's honest. But sometimes that doesn't feel good,

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:26.239
<v Speaker 3>but it's greater, like it's it's needed. But she's like

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 3>the first person that I trust to be honest with me.

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.920
<v Speaker 3>But sometimes it doesn't feel good. And the key for

0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:36.480
<v Speaker 3>me so far has been when you said that, it

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:41.320
<v Speaker 3>resonated like crazy has been not to be so defensive.

0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 2>So quick, Yeah, so easy. I get so defensive me too,

0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:48.839
<v Speaker 2>and to understand that do you know all that I'm doing?

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you know?

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what's coming at me? Do you know

0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 2>all the things? I mean? Instantly? And then it's like

0:47:53.800 --> 0:47:56.880
<v Speaker 2>that that does not work. That does not work, and.

0:47:58.480 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 3>You have to.

0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>And can you catch yourself? And sometimes it takes me,

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty minutes. Sometimes it might take me a

0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.759
<v Speaker 1>couple of days, like, Okay, what am I doing? I'm

0:48:09.920 --> 0:48:12.320
<v Speaker 1>really in a bad place here in my pride and

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>in my defensiveness. And yeah, my wife is smarter than

0:48:15.920 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I am, which sucks, It does sucks.

0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:20.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's awesome, but it's the same, right, It's

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 3>like your strength is your greatest weakness, your way. But

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:24.920
<v Speaker 3>it's like she she's smarter than I am. She's funnier

0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:27.480
<v Speaker 3>than I am. She's funnier than I am in a

0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:31.720
<v Speaker 3>world where I'm celebrated for being funny. And what drives

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:36.200
<v Speaker 3>me insane is that she has no need or desire

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:38.720
<v Speaker 3>to monetize it none.

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:40.960
<v Speaker 2>She does not want to be published. I'm like, you're

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.440
<v Speaker 2>wasting this talent. Look at this god given talent you

0:48:43.560 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 2>have and it's just sitting here. Yeah, No, and now

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you know that.

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 3>But for her, I also can accept her honesty most

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 3>of the time and what I'm creating, and I think

0:48:58.719 --> 0:49:02.000
<v Speaker 3>that's been so valuable, but very hard, especially at first. Yes,

0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:03.800
<v Speaker 3>so she would tell me a joke wasn't funny, I

0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:05.440
<v Speaker 3>be like, will you write it? And the first time

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 3>she did and we wrote it, I was humbled. I

0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:10.759
<v Speaker 3>couldn't have been more humbled. Wow, oh yeah, it's a

0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.239
<v Speaker 3>terrible it's a terrible day, but a great day. But

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:14.640
<v Speaker 3>I was like, okay, if you think it's I did

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:16.399
<v Speaker 3>the Opry and so I'm doing the opera. I played

0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Operty fifteen times or so. But like one of the

0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 3>times I did the Opry, I'm up and I'm telling

0:49:19.920 --> 0:49:21.359
<v Speaker 3>a joke and I came off, and I'm just ready

0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:23.239
<v Speaker 3>to be celebrated. Wait, a great job, great job. Just

0:49:23.280 --> 0:49:25.799
<v Speaker 3>the natural you walk off stage. Part of it is, hey,

0:49:25.960 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 3>everybody tell me how got I did? Even if I

0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:33.239
<v Speaker 3>don't consciously say that, that's just of course you come off. Yeah,

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 3>that's the expectation, because that's what happens a lot of times.

0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:38.359
<v Speaker 2>They're just like, oh, you did great. And we walk

0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:39.920
<v Speaker 2>off and we get in the car, and she was like,

0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, hey, how do you think I went? And

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:43.680
<v Speaker 2>she goes. I thought it was fine. She goes, but

0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:44.719
<v Speaker 2>and she.

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Alluded to one part of the set. She was like,

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 3>that was too low hanging fruit for you, And I said, oh, oh,

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I was shocked. I was like, ohh, I was like what.

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, she was like, there was too low. You're better

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:01.000
<v Speaker 2>than that. You can do better than that.

0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you this is like seven minutes after I'm

0:50:04.080 --> 0:50:07.680
<v Speaker 3>off stage. I'm in the car ready to be my wife,

0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:09.680
<v Speaker 3>who I love more than he'd be, like, oh, the

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:11.920
<v Speaker 3>best year. I let what everything you do is delightful.

0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:14.719
<v Speaker 3>And so she's like, yeah, it's that fruits tool you get.

0:50:14.719 --> 0:50:15.680
<v Speaker 2>You got to do better.

0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, well, then you do it. And she's like, well,

0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm not the one that's whatever. We get home and

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 3>like twenty minutes later she'd rewritten and it was better

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:25.360
<v Speaker 3>and I use and I used it.

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:29.839
<v Speaker 2>Am I special? And that hurt and it hurt.

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 3>But again that that was a very minor storm, like

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:36.719
<v Speaker 3>you're talking about the storms right, yes, like that was

0:50:36.800 --> 0:50:41.320
<v Speaker 3>a that was a single cell organism storm, yes, but

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:43.080
<v Speaker 3>was much stronger after And it's.

0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Made me better at realizing Ah I need that honesty. Yeah,

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:49.719
<v Speaker 2>in many ways.

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:51.359
<v Speaker 3>And it's not just that like that's the funny version

0:50:51.400 --> 0:50:53.360
<v Speaker 3>of it, but even in like I never grew up

0:50:53.360 --> 0:50:54.799
<v Speaker 3>with a family, like I don't have I don't have family.

0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:57.560
<v Speaker 3>You never have a family to have Christmas Eve with,

0:50:57.680 --> 0:51:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Like her family bizarre foreign, not because they do anything weird.

0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 3>They're not naked or anything, but it's like I never

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:07.360
<v Speaker 3>did family together. Yeah, it's everybody being together. You're like

0:51:07.400 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 3>watching a movie having waking all of it.

0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:13.919
<v Speaker 2>And that was really difficult for me. And it's still

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:14.759
<v Speaker 2>foreign to me.

0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:16.840
<v Speaker 3>But my wife, And the reason I ask about the

0:51:16.840 --> 0:51:21.080
<v Speaker 3>wife is because I know and I just wonder how

0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:26.160
<v Speaker 3>because we're similar, you're creating, you have to be constant.

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, how your wife affects you in that situation?

0:51:30.040 --> 0:51:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she makes me. What she has done is made

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 1>me such a better present to people. I don't know

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:40.359
<v Speaker 1>if she's really affected the music as much, but it's

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:42.600
<v Speaker 1>just the way I am with people, the way I

0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:45.440
<v Speaker 1>connect with people, the way I talk with people, the

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:47.240
<v Speaker 1>way I understand things.

0:51:47.320 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 2>She's helped me so much that I did not before.

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And most of my friends who have been with me,

0:51:54.320 --> 0:51:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, I've got bandmates, right, that have

0:51:57.200 --> 0:51:59.600
<v Speaker 1>been with me long way longer I've been married. They've

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:02.239
<v Speaker 1>known me longer than and all of them would say,

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:06.239
<v Speaker 1>you're such a better person, saying you're such a better person.

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:08.960
<v Speaker 1>And so that's that's that's amazing, you know, And that's

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and and that's marriage. Marriage is it's, it's it's it's

0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>no one, no one says marriage is easy, but it

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is a refining refine. It's such a refining thing. And

0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:24.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm so grateful for her and for my

0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:26.560
<v Speaker 1>girls and three daughters, and they're amazing.

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Worship under the Stars.

<v Speaker 3>You're doing you're doing the series, so a couple of

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:33.680
<v Speaker 3>days in July and then in October.

0:52:34.280 --> 0:52:37.080
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, it's in New York Baltimore doing

0:52:37.120 --> 0:52:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Red Rocks. That's cool.

0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, not that they're not all cool, but that's that's cool.

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:42.799
<v Speaker 3>That's in Central Park. It's my first time there too.

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:44.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that's cool too.

0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And they're all cool. That's my point. They're all cool.

0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Red Rocks, the Red Rocks. That's difficol. So what what's

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:51.440
<v Speaker 2>what's happening here?

0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Which, you know, I just sometimes the settings are just

0:52:56.360 --> 0:52:58.480
<v Speaker 1>so beautiful when it comes especially when it comes to

0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:03.640
<v Speaker 1>music everybod settings are make music so great. But when

0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it comes to especially when worship music, when you have

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:07.839
<v Speaker 1>beautiful settings, like when you're playing I played Red Rocks

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.880
<v Speaker 1>several times and always say, if you cannot, if you

0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:13.399
<v Speaker 1>cannot help people connect with God at Red Rocks, you've

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:15.520
<v Speaker 1>got serious. You don't need to be you need to

0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:17.600
<v Speaker 1>go sell houses or something, because you don't need to

0:53:17.640 --> 0:53:21.200
<v Speaker 1>be in music, right because you just it's already the

0:53:21.280 --> 0:53:22.280
<v Speaker 1>setting is so incredible.

0:53:22.320 --> 0:53:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, we want to put.

0:53:23.960 --> 0:53:27.000

<v Speaker 1>under the Stars.

0:53:30.840 --> 0:53:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And maybe maybe it grows from here.

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:35.719
<v Speaker 3>But this is our first three and the Pier six

0:53:35.840 --> 0:53:37.760
<v Speaker 3>and Baltimore was this beautiful thing out in the Harbor

0:53:38.040 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Central Park and then Red Rocks and it's gonna be

0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:42.960
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be awesome. I want to end with this,

0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:47.959
<v Speaker 3>and I want to indulge myself with a story from me. First,

0:53:50.120 --> 0:53:52.239
<v Speaker 3>like five or six years ago I decided, may may

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:54.040
<v Speaker 3>be longer than that now, maybe ten years ago, I

0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:56.400
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I decid I'm not gonna curse anymore. You

0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:58.080
<v Speaker 3>used to love cursing used to be mused to be

0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:01.680
<v Speaker 3>really great at it Olympic sports. For the Olympic sport,

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:03.359
<v Speaker 3>that's something I was gonna meddle. Yeah, I was gonna

0:54:03.360 --> 0:54:04.400
<v Speaker 3>meddal challenged.

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was good at it. And I thought I'm

0:54:07.680 --> 0:54:08.400
<v Speaker 2>done cursing.

0:54:08.680 --> 0:54:11.480
<v Speaker 3>And not for any sort of moral reason, but because

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:14.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want to have it as a crutch when creating.

0:54:15.440 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 3>So if I'm writing jokes, radio show, I was writing books, yes,

0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want to be because it can be funny,

0:54:22.719 --> 0:54:25.600
<v Speaker 3>it can also be a crutch that you use whenever

0:54:25.719 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 3>you're not funny.

0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:27.840
<v Speaker 2>And I wanted to challenge myself.

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:30.160
<v Speaker 3>So I really haven't sad a curse word in ten

0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:33.280
<v Speaker 3>years or so, and so not as a celebration of myself.

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:35.239
<v Speaker 3>But then when people say a bad word around me,

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:37.399
<v Speaker 3>they'll be like, oh, I'm sorry. I start story because

0:54:37.400 --> 0:54:39.600
<v Speaker 3>they know I don't curse, and I'm like, no, good

0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Like I used to if people curse.

0:54:42.080 --> 0:54:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Around you, I feel like they'd be like, oh my goodness,

0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry.

0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Chris really bothers me. It bothers me, It bothers the

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:49.919
<v Speaker 1>heck out of it. Yeah, when people say that, Yeah,

0:54:49.960 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 1>when they're like so apologetic. It doesn't bother me, and

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:52.480
<v Speaker 1>people curse.

0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Let me say that.

0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It bothers me when people think that for some reason

0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 1>because I do what I do again, that they that

0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that feels weird. I'm just like, come on, man, we're

0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that's normal. I feel the same way. May not say

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:10.719
<v Speaker 1>it the same way, right, feel the same way. And yeah,

0:55:11.120 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 1>it's always It's always bugged me so much, and I

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:14.360
<v Speaker 1>always all, you like, come on.

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I always like, come on, bro, don't say that. Same

0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 2>like I am. I'm good. I've heard it before.

0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Same, but I wonder up to have it. And I knew,

0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Like you're playing golf and someone's like, ah, bleep, they're

0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:28.440
<v Speaker 3>probably oh sorry, sorry, sorry sorry, Yeah, like you.

0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Still play, you're playing, yes, and you're coming. I know

0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I haven't played. I heard my shoulder bad last year,

0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:34.640
<v Speaker 2>so I stopped playing. And then here's the problem, Chris,

0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm being honest.

0:55:35.480 --> 0:55:37.719
<v Speaker 3>I started playing pick a ball, and that you're just

0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:42.280
<v Speaker 3>did you if you totally don't like fully on pickaball?

0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:45.400
<v Speaker 3>You're one of those guys. Yeah, pretty much. I have

0:55:45.440 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 3>a court right, just see it when you walked in

0:55:46.719 --> 0:55:48.799
<v Speaker 3>and did Yeah. And here's the thing, Chris, I'm glad

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:49.680
<v Speaker 3>you asked. Thank you for asking.

0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 2>We need to talk about this.

0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:53.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm really into pickleball, and I'm gonna tell you, but

0:55:53.960 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 3>I love golf. But here's the problem with golf.

0:55:55.719 --> 0:55:57.479
<v Speaker 1>No, let's I want to talk to the difference between

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:58.560
<v Speaker 1>tennis and pickleball.

0:55:58.880 --> 0:56:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd be happy to. But here's the problem with golf.

0:56:01.280 --> 0:56:03.200
<v Speaker 2>It takes too long. And I play golf. I used

0:56:03.200 --> 0:56:05.000
<v Speaker 2>play golf all the time to him, but I don't

0:56:05.040 --> 0:56:05.600
<v Speaker 2>have three.

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Or four hours because I'm so insecure that I feel

0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:09.440
<v Speaker 3>like I have to work all the time just to

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:12.480
<v Speaker 3>prove to myself I'm worthy that I don't block out

0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:13.680
<v Speaker 3>the hours to go play golf.

0:56:13.719 --> 0:56:16.120
<v Speaker 1>But I can go pickleball in an hour and you

0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:18.959
<v Speaker 1>get a workout and you feel better all the things.

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And I love but I love golf. And yes, and

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:23.719
<v Speaker 2>you've been so I'm I'm playing your golf tournam probably

0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:24.239
<v Speaker 2>the only time money.

0:56:24.239 --> 0:56:25.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna kill somebody with the ball. You know what

0:56:25.920 --> 0:56:28.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm in though, for the Lord. I'm in, Chris, I

0:56:28.040 --> 0:56:31.120
<v Speaker 3>will hit someone with the ball for the Lord. So

0:56:31.280 --> 0:56:32.680
<v Speaker 3>have you played pickleball at all? Yes?

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I do like pickle ball, but it's like it's all

0:56:35.360 --> 0:56:37.320
<v Speaker 1>my tennis friends are like, it's so much better than tennis,

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, it's not.

0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I think it.

0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, here's one one of my best Everybody can

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:46.080
<v Speaker 1>play pickleball and everybody complaints this.

0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:46.439
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:48.200
<v Speaker 3>One of my best friends in the whole world, groomsman

0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Andy Roddick, former number one, just playing in the world.

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Pretty good.

0:56:50.920 --> 0:56:52.719
<v Speaker 3>That's my guy, right, And so he makes fun of

0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:55.279
<v Speaker 3>pickleballer's like crazy, like just really gives it to him,

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:57.960
<v Speaker 3>like that's yeah, you guys are laying and so he

0:56:58.480 --> 0:57:01.600
<v Speaker 3>calls and he goes, hey, this is like a year

0:57:01.600 --> 0:57:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and a half agod, maybe two years ago. He goes, hey,

0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:04.839
<v Speaker 3>you're playing pickleball, right? So yeah, he said a little

0:57:04.840 --> 0:57:07.600
<v Speaker 3>bit because Brett Eldridge, one of my best friends, had

0:57:07.680 --> 0:57:09.880
<v Speaker 3>had the first court, like of our group, and so

0:57:09.920 --> 0:57:11.480
<v Speaker 3>we'd all go to Brett's house and play all the time.

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:13.640
<v Speaker 3>And so I was like, yeah, I play, you know,

0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:15.880
<v Speaker 3>maybe once a week, twice a week. And he says, uh,

0:57:16.880 --> 0:57:18.480
<v Speaker 3>it's probably pretty easy, right. I'm like, well, you were

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:20.400
<v Speaker 3>number one in the world, like you won US Open.

0:57:20.680 --> 0:57:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I feel like for you, it's gonna be pretty easy.

0:57:22.560 --> 0:57:24.760
<v Speaker 3>He goes, okay, cool, I said, why you hate pickball?

0:57:24.760 --> 0:57:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Because yeah, still hated. He goes, but I'm playing in

0:57:26.240 --> 0:57:27.400
<v Speaker 3>a tournament like a week and a half for a

0:57:27.440 --> 0:57:31.120
<v Speaker 3>million dollars. And I said, and you haven't played and

0:57:31.240 --> 0:57:33.560
<v Speaker 3>you're playing wow, And he was like yeah, he guess

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 3>it's on ESPN.

0:57:34.840 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, you know, hit, get around. He

0:57:38.000 --> 0:57:39.360
<v Speaker 2>hit a little bit. First. He goes, why am I'm

0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:42.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna work out a few days before? And he won?

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:44.240
<v Speaker 2>He won? He won? Yeah, No, he won.

0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:44.760
<v Speaker 5>He won.

0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 3>So does that tell you how good he is or

0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:48.960
<v Speaker 3>how lame pickleball is that you don't have to play it.

0:57:48.960 --> 0:57:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Can be BA win A Yeah. I think it's both.

0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I think one how good he is because he started

0:57:53.200 --> 0:57:57.000
<v Speaker 3>playing when we were running together hard because he'd be

0:57:57.080 --> 0:57:59.440
<v Speaker 3>gone for eight months at a time because tennis is international,

0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:01.720
<v Speaker 3>he's all around the world, hardly ever home, but he'd

0:58:01.720 --> 0:58:03.080
<v Speaker 3>be home four months a year and we would hang

0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:05.040
<v Speaker 3>out all the time. And so we play golf and

0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:06.600
<v Speaker 3>we started playing around the same time, and I watched

0:58:06.680 --> 0:58:11.280
<v Speaker 3>him go from shooting one oh six to like seventy

0:58:11.360 --> 0:58:15.120
<v Speaker 3>seven and about three months because his hand eye coordination. Yes,

0:58:16.040 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 3>and so pickleball he started playing it and got real good, which,

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:21.840
<v Speaker 3>by the way, he tores meniscus like the day before

0:58:21.880 --> 0:58:23.960
<v Speaker 3>the tournament still won, still one, which is crazy. So

0:58:24.320 --> 0:58:26.600
<v Speaker 3>there's a lameness to it when it comes to tennis.

0:58:26.920 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 3>But I like pickleball because the floor is higher, meaning

0:58:30.440 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 3>you don't me Moss can play, yes, but if you

0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:36.520
<v Speaker 3>to be good, like I could probably wax you pretty

0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:38.600
<v Speaker 3>good right now back there, But yeah.

0:58:38.440 --> 0:58:40.440
<v Speaker 1>You could, yeah, because I understand because I get out

0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and hit my friends who play and they kill me.

0:58:42.360 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And I understand there's a skill too, there's strategy, all

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:44.520
<v Speaker 1>the things.

0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:46.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's better than tennis. No, it's not.

0:58:46.440 --> 0:58:50.360
<v Speaker 1>And what about pickleball on TV? That's what I really

0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:50.920
<v Speaker 1>can't get in.

0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, do you watch? It's difficult for me too, and

0:58:53.480 --> 0:58:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I will be full disclosure. I own part of a

0:58:55.120 --> 0:58:56.160
<v Speaker 3>major league pickleball team.

0:58:56.440 --> 0:59:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is This is so good?

0:59:01.560 --> 0:59:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Is another podcast and it's difficult at times. I don't

0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:07.160
<v Speaker 3>think they have mastered. It reminds me of like the

0:59:07.200 --> 0:59:09.480
<v Speaker 3>sixties when they started shooting football from the top of

0:59:09.600 --> 0:59:11.600
<v Speaker 3>the bleachers and they really didn't have the angles or

0:59:11.680 --> 0:59:14.480
<v Speaker 3>know how to. It feels like that right now that

0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:16.880
<v Speaker 3>they've tried to make it tennis, and it's not. It's

0:59:16.880 --> 0:59:18.880
<v Speaker 3>a different game, different games, So I don't feel like

0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:22.080
<v Speaker 3>they've captured the content in a way that reflects how

0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:22.760
<v Speaker 3>fun the game is.

0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Probably so I think that needs needs to progress.

0:59:27.240 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 3>But I do think that pickleballs is is like I'm

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:34.760
<v Speaker 3>watching Wimbledon. Not everybody can play tennis. Honestly, they can't

0:59:34.760 --> 0:59:36.800
<v Speaker 3>not air bake up by tennis, right. And also, tennis,

0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:41.880
<v Speaker 3>to me was a rich person's game. We didn't the equipment.

0:59:41.960 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>You could buy a paddle now for like thirty bucks,

0:59:44.280 --> 0:59:46.880
<v Speaker 3>the little plastic ball, a smaller court.

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes it's lame, but it's my lame, so I will

0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:54.120
<v Speaker 2>defend it. It's it's not lame.

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:55.880
<v Speaker 3>I like it. It's a great game. Yeah, it's a

0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.000
<v Speaker 3>great game. But I'm just saying it's that.

0:59:58.120 --> 1:00:01.360
<v Speaker 1>When when I saw them trying to do it on TV,

1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, yeah it does this is this

1:00:03.960 --> 1:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is hard.

1:00:05.040 --> 1:00:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like whiffle ball to baseball.

1:00:08.320 --> 1:00:10.880
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of goofy. Yeah, but that doesn't mean it

1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:13.120
<v Speaker 3>can't be fine competitive and you a little work out in,

1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:19.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's better. I didn't like tennis. I never liked tennis.

1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. Gosh, I loved it.

1:00:20.880 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I was never like an Andy Roddick. I always wanted

1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 3>to be. But you have a tennis Did you have

1:00:24.760 --> 1:00:25.560
<v Speaker 3>tennis your high school?

1:00:26.000 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we did.

1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I never was exposed to us. I probably would have

1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:33.560
<v Speaker 3>been pro. If I'm being honest, right, how would I not?

1:00:33.680 --> 1:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Of no doubt? Look at you? Look at me now?

1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it couldn't be any more pro. Okay, look you

<v Speaker 3>It's when we pulled down because you were so nice

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:03.040
<v Speaker 3>to give us a good parking I saw who all

1:02:03.080 --> 1:02:05.080
<v Speaker 3>the special guests would surprises were by the parking spots

1:02:05.120 --> 1:02:05.680
<v Speaker 3>with the names on it.

1:02:06.400 --> 1:02:09.400

1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>down there, and the parking Chris gave us. That's the

1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>part I didn't like, but you did. But the show

1:02:21.920 --> 1:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>was excellent. But next time, maybe I just blindfold myself

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>and sit passenger and let my wife.

1:02:26.320 --> 1:02:28.120
