1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up? Grangersmith podcast coming from a new location today,

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: the bus Montana. I've done the podcast many times on

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: the bus next door with Wildflower, but today I'm in Montana.

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: There's a little bit more space here and I have

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: some more light, and so I'm going to bring in

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: today my guest Amber and having two people in the

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: same room and Wildflowers a little tight. So first podcast

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: on Montana, and I guess I didn't even say the

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: reason why I'm doing it on a bus at all.

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: The reason I'm doing it on a bus at all

11
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: is because we're parked at Ee Apparel, but they're doing

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: some construction work. They're remodeling the kitchen, so it's like,

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, craziness. So I needed to find a quiet spot.

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I could hear butch on the

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: tractor right now, so it's like, I never really on

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: this farm, can never really escape noise to make a podcast.

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: And Amber and I are building a house and in

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: the house there's going to be a special room just

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: for the podcast, So I don't know if that's going

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: to be quiet. I'll probably have dogs barking there, but regardless,

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. I know

Speaker 1: I'm gonna about to go work with them right after

60
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: this podcast and do a little work on restoring Earl

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Dibble's truck and so much stuff that's going on here

62
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: at the ee farm. I'm like, I have to keep

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: notes just to keep up with what I'm doing. Today's podcast,

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm bringing an Amber and she's almost here, so I'm

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna work on the truck a little bit. I'm gonna

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: get Amber in here. I'm excited. I'm always excited to

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: have her because she has such good insight on life,

68
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: and I could learn from her. Every time I'm with her,

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: I could learn but soaking in, uh some knowledge that

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I didn't hear her say before in the ten years

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: that I've known her. So she's she's a special woman,

72
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and I think that she could help this podcast and

73
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all could enjoy listening to her. So

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: that's what I got. Welcome to the podcast. Ye did

75
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: he lo up and down? Going back rangeation? My brother

76
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Tyler just walked on here and we had started the

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: podcast and then he Tyler walked on the bus because

78
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: people aren't used to knowing that we're doing podcasts on

79
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: the bus Montana. But he said that I got an

80
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: offer to speak at a church in Granger, Indiana. Is

81
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: that you too or just me? She contacted me, but

82
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: it only had your name. Okay, So it's interesting that

83
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting that a church in Indiana would request me

84
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: to come speak there. She said that they were the

85
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Smiths and have watched and oh, she said, you watched

86
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: your podcast with Pastor Joe. So she was wondering with

87
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: everything with you not touring, She thought you might be

88
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: open to speaking engagements at more churches. Yeah, sometimes you're

89
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: just like, okay, God, what do you want right now?

90
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: What do you want from me? But then you know,

91
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: my position is just always keep my eyes open, my

92
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: ears open, my heart open, ready for ready to not

93
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: miss an opportunity to make a difference that I should

94
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: be doing, you know, instead of taking the first reaction

95
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: of going no, I'm a singer. I am a country

96
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: music singer. That's what I do. So yeah, God calls

97
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: us to come out of our comfort zone. Yeah, it's

98
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: definitely out of my comfort zone to even think about

99
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: something like that. But you have to have a piece

100
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: about it too. So yeah, not every opportunity that comes

101
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: your way you have to say yes to. You just

102
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: have to pray about it. I might do it Indiana Granger, Indiana.

103
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: I might be there. I don't know. Interesting name for

104
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: a town. Now she says what she says it's like

105
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: you're talking about God being specific. Yeah, I went at

106
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Granger Church. What I was saying before Tyler walked up

107
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: here was we slept in the barn last night, as

108
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: we have the last five months while our house is

109
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: being built, and last night was the coldest so far.

110
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: It got down to twenty seven and I was thinking,

111
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's always that argument of do you like

112
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: are you like hot weather cold weather? And everyone that

113
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: ever says cold weather says I like cold weather because

114
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: you can only take so many layers off, but in

115
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: the winter you could just keep putting layers on, like

116
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: people say that. And I was thinking that this morning

117
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: as I was like wanting to get out from under

118
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: the covers, I was like, I hate that argument. I

119
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: love the summer. Yeah, it's so the concrete. We have

120
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: concrete in there, so it's so cold on your feet

121
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: if you don't have anything in Our bathroom is in

122
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the bar, and so we have to walk from the

123
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: RV to the barn if we need to go to

124
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the restroom, and it's freezing in the morning. And I

125
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: just said on my rise this past Sunday that people

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: think that, probably think I'm crazy because it's not even

127
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: really that cold. Like some people are in like negative weather,

128
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: like five degree weather, and I'm complaining. I was complaining

129
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: outside because it was forty degrees and I was like,

130
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm freezing. Yeah, I get it. I get it. And

131
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are probably getting their comments ready

132
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: or like you're getting their fingers ready right like right now,

133
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm being like, well, it's negative seventeen Fargo right now,

134
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: or hey, this is me and Mike. Come in Alberta

135
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: and it's negative thirty. So you don't know cold. I've been, Yes,

136
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: I've traveled. You know. We did in Northern Canada tour

137
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen in the winter. So yeah, I'm not

138
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: just a Texan that doesn't know what cold feels like.

139
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I've seen many people that

140
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: are like, come on, Texas, you think that's cold, and

141
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: then they come here and if you're not prepared, twenty

142
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: seven is cold because you're a human being, it doesn't

143
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: matter what you're wearing. Yeah, and we have a torpedo heater,

144
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: we have several propane heaters, and it's it's cozy. I mean,

145
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. The summertime was really tough when

146
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: It literally got to over one hundred inside that barn

147
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: and it's just swinning. It's insulated barn too. It's funny

148
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: because he when I wake the kids up in the morning,

149
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: he turns on the torpedo heater so they can hear

150
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: it outside of the RV, and they just bolt out

151
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: of the RV. As soon as they hear that thing go.

152
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: They run out to be the first one to sit

153
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: in front of it. That's what it sounds like. I

154
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: love it, though, because I love that our kids are

155
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: going through this, and it's just such a it's such

156
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: a good practice of adversity. It's a good way, like

157
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: we talked about with the church, it's a good way

158
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: to force yourself out of a comfort zone. And I

159
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: always love to do that to myself. It's interesting that

160
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing it to my family now. I'm making you

161
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: guys live in a world of a diversity. But I mean,

162
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: you're you're amazing that you could even be accepting. I mean,

163
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of wives it would be like,

164
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna live in an RV while we build the house. Nope,

165
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: we're leasing a house. We're gonna rent a house. We're

166
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna rent an apartment, We're gonna stay with in laws. Whatever.

167
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: That's our daughter, you even think it would be me

168
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: And it's London. She's like, why can't we just reunt

169
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: a house? Like sweetheart, trying to teach her like that's

170
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: a waste of money. We have this amazing RV from

171
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Explore USA and it's beautiful and it's cozy. All the

172
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: more reason if she thinks that now, at nine years old,

173
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: all the more reason why we need to be doing it. Yeah,

174
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: take her out of her comfort zone. Yes, and one

175
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: day in life. I don't know when that's gonna be,

176
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a time when she feels some

177
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of adversity and she's gonna go, you know what,

178
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: I lived in a barn for eight months, nine months whatever.

179
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I could do anything. And that might be a little

180
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: extreme to claim something like that, but when you say

181
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: you've actually sat in a barn and lived in a

182
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: living room and watch TV on a couch where it

183
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: was one hundred degrees and scorpions were biding you, that

184
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: is coming out of your comfort zone. That's that's exactly

185
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: what has happened to us. So yeah, that's great, it's

186
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: great and no disrespect to anyone that lives full time

187
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: in a barn at all, because we're doing it and

188
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. Yeah, do you want to answer

189
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: some questions with me? I would love to thank you

190
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: for having me today. You're welcome, guest. I got a

191
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: question there not a question. Sometimes sometimes your questions, which,

192
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: by the way, is Granger Smith Podcast at gmail dot com.

193
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: If you need to know, if you want me to

194
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: say anything, email that. But it's not even questions anymore.

195
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: It's sometimes it becomes statements. And I got one this

196
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: morning that was like, I wish you would start having

197
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: more guests like veterans and people that have struggled because

198
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't quite get as much out of your questions.

199
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: And hey, I'm disagreeing with you when you wrote that,

200
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: but the fact is, it is exhausting to think about

201
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: filling up a calendar with guests. I'm not Joe Rogan.

202
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Maybe my future could look more similar to Joe Rogan

203
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: ten years from now, but right now I don't have

204
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: a staff that's constantly booking up my podcast and I

205
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: put these out every single Monday. That makes it exhausting

206
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: to think about having a guest every week, preparing, getting

207
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: things ready, figuring out their background. And it's easier for

208
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: me to be consistent first by just answering your questions.

209
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: Grangersmith Podcast at gmail dot com. So that's the reason.

210
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: And I'm meeting in the middle by having Amber with

211
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: me today. But I do want to dive in and

212
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: I've created now I've done this long enough now with

213
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: these questions that I've started dividing. As the questions come in,

214
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: I started dividing them into categories. And Amber has her

215
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: own folder now, oh thank you, and it's a lot.

216
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: So it's quite a bit here that I've just thrown

217
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: into the Amber folder. So are these questions to me, No,

218
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's when I read them when I came in,

219
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I read them and I thought that's something Amber could

220
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: answer with me in some way, so I threw it

221
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: into your folder. So this first question comes from Mackenzie

222
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and the subject line is fights. Okay. It says, hey, Granger,

223
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: my name is Mackenzie. I'm a huge fan of yours.

224
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: I was wondering, being a Christian, god fearing household, do

225
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: you and Amber ever fight? I know my parents did

226
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: all the time, and it led to my mom divorcing

227
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: my dad because he's not the nicest man on the planet. PS.

228
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: The first time for your album is great. I think

229
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: it's the best one yet. That email came in November.

230
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Thank you Mackenzie. I think I know Mackenzie. I think

231
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: I've chatted. If it's the same McKenzie on Instagram, I

232
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: think before m A c K E n Z. I

233
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: I think so okay, it doesn't say where she's from.

234
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: You if you throw in where you're from, say and

235
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: you could even do it in the subject line if

236
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: you want, But I think it's neat to be able

237
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: to say where you're from when I'm introducing you in

238
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: your question. And this is a good question, Mackenzie. We've

239
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of touched. We kind of touched on this. I

240
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it was on My Rise or on

241
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: one of your podcasts about us and our fights and

242
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: do we fight and we don't fight if we don't

243
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: fight in a sense of yelling at each other, you know,

244
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: like parents yell at each other in front of their children.

245
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: We just don't. We never have and we we we

246
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: always say that we maybe attribute that to meeting later

247
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: in life, going through our bad I'm sure we both

248
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: had some good relationships, but going through all of our

249
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: relationships and realizing what we want, what we don't want,

250
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: what we'll stand for, and so we just we just

251
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: have never been that couple that fights. And I always say, like,

252
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I can tell when you're frustrated, and you can tell

253
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: when I'm frustrated, and we just don't pick at each other.

254
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Why are you laughing? Because I definitely know when you're frustrated,

255
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: and you definitely know who I am. He came, okay, wait,

256
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: real quack. He came in the other night. What did

257
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: you say to me? He walked in and he said,

258
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: what do I do that annoys you? And I was like,

259
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: what you? What have I done that annoys you? What

260
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: did you say? I don't remember. Oh oh, he said,

261
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: you just have stuff on every shelf. I don't have

262
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: anywhere to put anything. He's like, there's stuff, there's Christmas

263
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: decorations everywhere, there's no space. So I look at shelves

264
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: like countertops and shelves. I look at them as to

265
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: hold things that you need to be using. But you

266
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: look at shelves and countertops as things to hold decorations

267
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: or that you don't touch. That's Christmas, Christmas to Cora,

268
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: you say it's Christmas, but you do you do that

269
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: at Halloween, do in the fall, you do it in easter,

270
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: you do it in summertime? Four Yeah, no, So that

271
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: is like kind of the extent of our fights. We

272
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: just I man, there's a caveat with what we're saying,

273
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: because I love that we don't fight and we work

274
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: hard at it. And part of it was we got

275
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: married a little bit later. I was thirty years old

276
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: when we got married, and that's part of it in

277
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: my opin. And we learned a lot from past relationships

278
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: that didn't work, and we couldn't have done that if

279
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: we were twenty. But I don't think you have to

280
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: look at us and go Granger and Amber don't fight,

281
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: and we do, so we must not be good. So

282
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: we should split up because I want a relationship like

283
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Amber and Granger. That's not true. No, it's not true.

284
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: We're very blessed and very lucky that we have a

285
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: relationship like that, but that's not what keeps us together.

286
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: It's not if we did fight, we wouldn't split up

287
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: because of that, right. I think I have a couple

288
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: of friends who they fight in their marriages, but they

289
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: fight knowing that they're on the same team and they're

290
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: going down the same lane and they want the same result,

291
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: So they work through any disagreements and mean, they're passionate

292
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: in their fights as much as they are about their

293
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: love for each other. So I don't think that, you know,

294
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: there's no perfect relationship. I don't think that just because

295
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: we don't fight, that our relationship is perfect. Yeah, we

296
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: go after each other, but it never gets to the

297
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: second level. It's always stays in the first level. So

298
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: when you come in and you're like, babe, there's stuff everywhere.

299
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Can you please throw stuff away? Yeah, I don't take

300
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: it to the next level and go I had a

301
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: hard day, you know what I'm going through right now. Yeah,

302
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: but I don't do that. I keep it it. Yeah,

303
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: you're right, I do have stuff everywhere. Sorry, babe. I'll

304
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: get on that. And on that note, if there is

305
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: stuff everywhere, instead of going and getting on to him,

306
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: I just put it. I just throw it away. It's

307
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: just much easier to pick your battles. And she says

308
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: on here, my mom divorced my dad because he's not

309
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: the nicest man on the planet, and I just have

310
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: to say, we're all not the nicest people on the planet.

311
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: We all are going to have bad days. We live

312
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: in a fallen world. We are all sinners. Nobody is perfect.

313
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: So I think just having grace for each other helps

314
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: us to be on the same team. So Mackenzie, don't

315
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: The moral of this conversation is don't look for a

316
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: partner that you specifically do not fight with, because that's

317
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: not really It's not really what this is about. Yeah,

318
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: this one is from Nicole. It says hello to the

319
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Smith family, which is probably why I put in the

320
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Amber folder. Grangeer, what made you decide to give away

321
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: your truck when you had it in your songs and videos?

322
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: And Amber, your Sunday Morning with God videos are so

323
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: good it helps me get through my days. Amber, How

324
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: does your kids feel about God? There's specifically asking you.

325
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of good questions. Yeah, so I'll start

326
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: with the truck, the truck giveaway, which I got a

327
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: feeling we'll do this next year too. In some way.

328
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go buy a truck this spring that's maybe

329
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of crappy, and then me and Butch and Bull

330
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: could get and start restoring it or upgrading it and

331
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: just make it super nice and give it away. So

332
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: what made me decide it's kind of multi layered. But

333
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: I have driven that truck for a long time, and

334
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: it was I have a lot of memories in that truck.

335
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, my dad was in that truck. River was

336
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: in that truck. We moved houses in that truck. I

337
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: got married in that truck. So there's brought London home.

338
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Maybe not in that car. It gives in your car,

339
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: but I drove her as a newborn. So I just

340
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: had this feeling. I try not to attach myself too

341
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: much to unanimate what do you call it, what's inanimate objects?

342
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: And I was very attached to that truck, and I

343
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: just thought, you know what, it's time to let go

344
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: of this truck. It's time to let go and stop

345
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: trying to attach memories to it and see it do

346
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: well in another house and see someone seeing it bring

347
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: joy to someone else's household in a new way. And

348
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: the idea originally came when I was restoring my old

349
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: high school truck, the seventy four GMC with Butch and Bull,

350
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: and as that started developing, I thought to myself, Man,

351
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: this is going to be a good truck, I'll be

352
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: able to drive it. But then I don't need two

353
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: trucks at that point. So that's ultimately that what started

354
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: the truck giveaway idea. So then we'll go to your Okay,

355
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: so it says your Sunday Morning with God videos are

356
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: so good that it helps me and people, that it

357
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: helps people and it helps me get through my days.

358
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for saying that. And let me

359
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: say we're gonna I'm thinking about getting a Rise with

360
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Amber into a podcast form so that people that listen

361
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: to or watch it on YouTube. It only exists on

362
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: the Smith's YouTube channel every Sunday Morning, but I'm thinking

363
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: about pushing her to I already bought her a microphone

364
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: like this, and I bought her some recording gear, so

365
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to push her to move it into podcast form. Sorry,

366
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: we're thinking about doing that when the house is built,

367
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: so that's probably three three or four months maybe, so

368
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: I'll have a place set up in the house, he said,

369
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: pushing me to do that. And speaking of going out

370
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: of your comfort zone, like we were talking about in

371
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: the beginning, that is really out of my comfort zone

372
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: the Erise videos because I always feel a small sense

373
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: of unworthiness, Like you know, you've even said that on

374
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: your podcast about answering these questions, that you just don't

375
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: feel worthy to be telling this to people. But it's

376
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: all about just stepping out in faith and just obeying

377
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: and saying yes to what God is calling you to do.

378
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: So thank you for saying that, because that makes me

379
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: feel better about Sunday mornings. How do your kids feel

380
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: about God? So our kids have grown up knowing God

381
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: and knowing Jesus and they attend a Christian school now

382
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: and they love God, they love Jesus. They but they

383
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, they have so many questions about about God

384
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: and Heaven. And you know, Lincoln wanted to be Jesus

385
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: for Halloween. And London writes her scriptures out, you know,

386
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: She'll she came home and at school they had to

387
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: memorize scriptures every week, and she came home and wrote,

388
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: like all of them out. They they just have they

389
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: have a good positive outlook on God and Jesus in heaven.

390
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: And so I just hope that we can still plant

391
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: the seeds and continue to grow them in that way

392
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: we could learn from them. Yeah, for sure, they say

393
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: things and I'm like, dang it, it's having faith like

394
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: a child. So moving on to this next question from Simon,

395
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: it's really ironic. I literally just hit the next one.

396
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: It says, Hey, it's Simon. I was wondering if you

397
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: can get a amber to put her arise at the

398
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: Amber on podcast platforms. Okay, perfect, I mean that's the sun.

399
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Look at that boom. Simon says, oh gosh, oh urgent?

400
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Should we get it? Let's see, do we have time

401
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: for an urgent one? Let me not do an urgent

402
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: and the subject line literally says urgent please read. Let's

403
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: do that, but let's go to my light folder. Okay,

404
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: because we have to take a break in a minute. Right, Yeah,

405
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: we have to take a break in a minute, so

406
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: let's go to a light one. It says River and

407
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why I put it in my light folder.

408
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: I'll find out. This question is from Sam from Chattanooga.

409
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: What's up? Sam? Shout out to Tennessee in Chattanooga and

410
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: Georgia wherever you are. Question for future podcast. It says,

411
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: my longtime girlfriend introduced me to the Smith shortly after

412
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Rivers passing. Ever since, we have watched every single episode

413
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: you have put up on the Smiths channel and now

414
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: I've been following everything you and lunkers do on my

415
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: on my question. In a previous podcast, you talked about

416
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: how you're always concealing concealed carrying. I would like to

417
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: know what your usual carry gun is. He's saying, holstrew knife,

418
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: everything you have on you. Thanks for all you doing.

419
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see Earl's truck finished. Me too, buddy.

420
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for the question, Sam. I typically click carry glock

421
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: forty three, also occasionally carry at glock forty two. And

422
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: that's the difference between having that if I want that

423
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: nine millimeter or the three eighty and I always have

424
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: a glock seventeen around me, but not youually in my

425
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: pockets because that's a little too big. Always carry a

426
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: kersh All knife of some form. This one is great.

427
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Caleb got me this one because it also has this

428
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: kersh All knife has some screwdriver attachments to it, which

429
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: is great because you're you know, I never know what

430
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I wish I would have bought you that. It has

431
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: a little deer sausage on it and I still need

432
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: to clean sometimes I use it to eat with. Is

433
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: that the one that we cut when we were your

434
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: truck broke down. That sausage. Yeah, it's one of the

435
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: times I've cut that sausage. So the holster it's right now.

436
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: It's in my truck outside this bus. And I don't

437
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: know I got it on Amazon, I believe, but it's

438
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: leather and it's the kind with the clip that goes

439
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: inside your pants with the clip, and I just really

440
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: like that style. And I don't know the name. Sorry, Sam,

441
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't know the name of that polster. What else

442
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: did you say anything? I Carrie an iPhone and my wallet,

443
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: AYEE wallet right here, So Carrie A this is the

444
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: the long, the long version of the EEE leather wallet.

445
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: This has been the first time something about that. I

446
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: have tried to get this man a wallet for ten years.

447
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Ten years. You know what he used to carry his

448
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: money in. One of those little office clips that you like,

449
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: Ben the silver back with the black little clippy. That's

450
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: what he used to carry his money and his credit

451
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: cards in. And I always try to get him something

452
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: small or cool or leather. First one he got was

453
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: finally ten years later, and it's EE wallet. Yep. So

454
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: good shout out once again, Sam, thanks for the question Chattanooga.

455
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: That question came in September, so it's that's been on

456
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: the list for me to answer. Student. We have time

457
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: for one, Yeah, one time for one more light one.

458
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: This comes from Rita from Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It says, hey, Granger,

459
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: you haven't shown much about your bees lately. Are they

460
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: doing okay? And you get a second hive going again.

461
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: So that question came in September as well. Sad day. Yeah,

462
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: we lost our hives. Yeah, we lost both of them.

463
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: We lost them to wax moths, which you know, we're

464
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: still learning in our beekeeping hobby. And I knew nothing

465
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: about wax moths. And if I would have read, we

466
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: would have known that they can take over a hive

467
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: in just a day or two if you don't go

468
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: out there and check. And so they just he went

469
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: out there one day to film and they were just infested.

470
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: So for anybody that's listening that doesn't know anything about

471
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: what we're talking about, we started bee keeping about three

472
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: four about four years ago. That the years, like the

473
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: last two years just flew by, so I can't even remember,

474
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: but I want to say three or four years ago

475
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: we started beekeeping. It's a great hobby. We loved it.

476
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: We had two really good honey harvest. The second one

477
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: was outstanding. Yeah, we still have so much honey from that.

478
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: And then after riv we moved from that house and

479
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: I moved the hives. That was the beginning of the end,

480
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: really is when I moved those hives. Because they moving

481
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: them in the middle of the summer, which in Texas,

482
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the summer, we stopped getting

483
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: a lot of flowering plants, so I was feeding them

484
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: sugar water. They weren't doing great. We ended up losing

485
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: a hive there at the old house. And then when

486
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: we moved to where we are now at the farm,

487
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: we only brought one hive alive and then they got

488
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: hit by wax moths and they were actually doing great. Yeah,

489
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: And so they got hit by wax moths and they

490
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: infested them, and I thought they were doing great, But

491
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: I think they must have they must have been going

492
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: through a little bit of a strain through that move.

493
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: So in the spring, probably March, I'm going to get

494
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: two new hives. And I love the location where they

495
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: are now where I'm going to put them, so I'll

496
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: get the two new nukes I'll get a queen and

497
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: her little girls and we will put them to work

498
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: here on this farm. And I know a lot more

499
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: now going through you know, this would be my fourth

500
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: or fifth season, I know a lot more. I think

501
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: I'll be better with them, and I'm excited about that.

502
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: So good question. Let me take a quick break. We'll

503
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: be right back. I want to talk about some of

504
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: the people that have sponsored this podcast today, the people

505
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: that have supported what we're doing on this podcast in

506
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: the form of paying for the production cost of what

507
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: it takes to bring this podcast to you. So in

508
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: other words, I'm grateful to have these people. So here's

509
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: another way that twenty twenty has thrown us for a loop.

510
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: The holidays. Lots of my go to gifts or non starters.

511
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: For example, if I was going to get Parker or

512
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Tyler or my mom any kind of experience gift like

513
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: a concert or you know, a ticket to a football game,

514
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: or any kind of like bed and breakfast package, I

515
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: mean those those are pretty much gone this time of year.

516
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: So I'm I had I was thrown for a loop

517
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: on what to get people for this for this Christmas,

518
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: and with everything that's happened, I want to get every

519
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: one on my list a gift that actually makes them say, hey,

520
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Actually I'm going to use that. So my

521
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: silver bullet idea is Raycon wireless earbuds. Raycon is it's

522
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: it's an earbud that fits like you don't even know

523
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: it's there. You could actually sleep with it, and I

524
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: have slept. You can lay on your side and sleep

525
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: with this earbud and it doesn't affect you at all.

526
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: It feels like it's not even there. And it also

527
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: seals off all the outside noise. So if you're listening

528
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: to this podcast, I would say a really good way

529
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: to do it is with Raycon earbuds that seamless Bluetooth

530
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: pairing and a comfortable noise isolating fit. You can start

531
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: listening right out of the box and keep on listening

532
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: for hours. The audio quality is amazing compared to what

533
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: you get from other premium brands. Accept Raycon starts at

534
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: half the price. Best of all, this is something that

535
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: you could use to make calls to play music work,

536
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: or play home or on the go. It's the gift

537
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: that keeps on giving. And if you already have a

538
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: pair of wireless earbuds. You always need a spare. Raycon

545
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: from Express vpn and if you don't know what that means,

546
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: if you don't even know what ExpressVPN is, It's a

547
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: simple app for your computer or smartphone that encrypts all

548
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: your network data and tunnels it through a secure VPN

549
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: server so that your ISP cannot be seen and no

550
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: one could find out what you're doing. No one else

551
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: could find out what you're doing on your computer. That's

552
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: as simple as that. To just think about how much

553
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: of your life is on the internet. Sadly, every site

554
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: you visit, every video you watch, or message you send

555
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: gets tracked by ISPs or other tech giants who could

556
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: then sell your information for profit. That's the reason I

557
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: recommend ExpressVPN is the best way to hide your online

558
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: activity from your ISP. Just download the app, tap one

559
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: button on your device and boom, you're protected. The ExpressVPN

560
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: does all the work without slowing down your connection. That's

561
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: why it's rated number one VPN service by cnet and Wired.

562
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: So stop handing over your personal data to ISPs and

563
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: other tech giants who mine your activity and sell off

564
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: your information. That's crazy that they do that. Protect yourself

565
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: with the VPN I trust to keep me private online.

Speaker 1: and they're from this town. Okay, but I just want

575
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: in respect to them, I won't say anything. It says,

576
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: I've been struggling with my life lately. So my fiance

577
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: and I have been together about two years now. We

578
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: have a beautiful baby boy together about ten and a

579
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: half months old, and I recently made a mistake of

580
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: reaching out to some high school female friends and gave

581
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: them a life update, just to hi, how are you

582
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing. There was nothing meant it for me

583
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: to be wanting to cheat him my fiance, which I

584
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: would never do, and now we're in a hard spot

585
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: in a relationship. She gets the feeling I'm not in

586
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: love and that I don't want to be with her.

587
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: She is my everything and I can't lose her. Yes,

588
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I know I screwed up. What do I do? This

589
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: is killing me? She said that I've been a different

590
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: person lately, which was an eye opener for me. I

591
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: can say that this pandemic has made me a bit

592
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: of a different person. I was raised as a Christian man,

593
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: but I fell off the edge and I can't join

594
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: a church due to my work schedule. Please help. I

595
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: hope to hear from you and Amber on a podcast.

596
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Smith family. Yee freaking yee. Thanks

Speaker 1: got what you wanted. You got me and Amber both

599
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: on your We are focused on your mission right now, buddy.

600
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: So this is multi layer here. You guys have a

601
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: beautiful baby boy together. I guess without knowing the extent

602
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: of the reaching out and knowing what was said or

603
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 1: how your I think you said fiance's fiance, and what

604
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: your fans say saw or didn't see, or how she

605
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: feels about what was said. That's hard for me to

606
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: answer because I don't really know what the initial reaching

607
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: out was. If it was just a hey, here's our baby,

608
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to see how you're doing.

609
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: I would like to think that that would be something

610
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: that you guys could work through, but I don't know

611
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: the depth. Yeah, so just all we could go by

612
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: is what you said. So if we go by exactly

613
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: what you said, which is we're in a hard spot

614
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: in a relationship, she gets the feeling I'm not in love,

615
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: but she's my everything and I can't lose her. If

616
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: we're going just by that, then I would say I'd

617
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: come up and I'd say, Babe, are we going to talk?

618
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: Sit her down? Delete Facebook if that's what you need

619
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: to be doing, and convince her with all the truth

620
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: and integrity in your heart that that you can't lose her,

621
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: that you're there for her, and that you would like

622
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: to marry her. I think that that needs to happen.

623
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: You guys, got a little boy, your love And I

624
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: think part of this could be stemming from the fact

625
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: that you're you're not married, and she's she needs you

626
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: to have that kind of commitment, to prove to not

627
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: only just to her in a closed room, but to

628
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: the world and to your family and to all your

629
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: friends and your baby. And you're on your Facebook status

630
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: that you are now married to her, a lifetime commitment

631
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: to her. I think that that I think she needs that,

632
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: and I think if I'm just going by what you say,

633
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: then that's your next step. Is you sit down and

634
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: you say, Babe, I want to I want to prove

635
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: to do I know that I've I've been a different person.

636
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: I've been stressed at work, I've been this pandemics has

637
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: got me sideways. I'm sorry for what appeared to be

638
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: me unhappy and reaching out to friends on Facebook. But

639
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: I want to change everything. I want to convince you

640
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: that I'm in love with you and I can't lose you.

641
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Say what I don't even know if you've said to

642
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: her what you've said to me, which is which is weird, right,

643
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: Maybe you have, but follow that up with I want

644
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: to get married. Let's pick a date, not just you

645
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: know you are fiance is right, So yes, that's so

646
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: pick a date. Let's let's let's go. I want to

647
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: go on next Saturday. I want to go to the courthouse.

648
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: And I don't want to lock this down because maybe

649
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: we've been waiting on the world to clear up or

650
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: the perfect wedding, turn all that into a big reception.

651
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: Just see what she says, it's just about you two. Really,

652
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: it's about you two and your love for each other.

653
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be some extravagant thing. And then

654
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: it says here that this whole pandemic has kind of

655
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: made you fall off the edge and you can't join

656
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: a church do to your work schedule. I think this

657
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: whole pandemic has kind of made everybody fall off the

658
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: edge a little bit. And the fact that you realize

659
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: that is the first step. So just try to refocus,

660
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: refocus your energy on her and your baby. And lots

661
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: of people can't go to church because of their schedule.

662
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: But the good thing about this pandemic is there are

663
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: churches online. You can log in on your phone, on

664
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: your computer. You can log in anytime of day, twenty

665
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: four hours a day. You can listen to sermons, you

666
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: can listen to podcasts, and you can read books, you

667
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: can listen to audible that can bring you closer to God.

668
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: And you can do that from anywhere, anytime. Think about

669
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: it this way. You know, we've all heard the term

670
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: that to tithe our money, which is the definition of

671
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: tithing is ten percent of your money. But that being said,

672
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: have you ever thought about how you could tithe your time?

673
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's kind of a new thing to me. I

674
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: heard that from Billy Graham, and I told you that

675
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: the other day. So I would say to this anonymous rider,

676
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: are you tithing your time? Are you giving ten percent

677
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: of your time? Which is, you know, technically two hours

678
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: and forty minutes? Are you giving two hours and forty

679
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: minutes out of your day? That's correct math, isn't it?

680
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: I think? So? Yeah, yeah, that's what you asked the

681
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: other night. So I mean that if your work schedule

682
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: doesn't allow you to give two hours and forty minutes

683
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: every day, then then it might be time to rethink

684
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: the job as well. And that's going that's going far,

685
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: considering this world is extremely jobless right now. I heard

686
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: a statistic is actually today that said that most on average,

687
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: which is that that's you know, probably above a lot

688
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: of other people. On average, people spend ten minutes a

689
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: day with God, but they watch TV for four hours.

690
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah that's your average. Sure, So if you you know,

691
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: if it's five minutes here, five minutes there, just keep

692
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: fitting in time for God and the Word in prayer

693
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: and your relationship too, and keep tuning into this podcast.

694
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: You need to listen to this podcast once a week.

695
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: It's important you do. You stop this podcast and go pray. Okay,

696
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay, all right, buddy, thank you.

697
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: I'll keep you anonymous, but I hope that helps right

698
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: back in to me if it does. Here's one I'm

699
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: kind of going down the list here. It says, Hey,

700
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: my name is Mikey. I'm eighteen years old and I

701
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: plan on building a house for me and my girlfriend

702
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: one day. I wanted to ask for tips on how

703
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: to do that. Watching Building our Dream Farmhouse has really

704
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: inspired me to do it. Thank you, Mikey, thanks for writing.

705
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: We have been doing this series on YouTube to everyone

706
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: that doesn't know what he's talking about, called Building our

707
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Dream Farmhouse, and it just kind of documenting the build,

708
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: just like we're doing documenting the restoring Earl Bibbles Old

709
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: Truck on YouTube as well. What do you say to

710

713
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: want to start doing that, just find a builder. I mean,

714
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know it says it says your girlfriend.

715
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Is this a girlfriend? Are you guys gonna plan on

716
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: getting married? Or where are y'all on that front? We

717
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: don't know, so I can't answer that. But I also

718
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: want to say, you're eighteen, Yeah, you know that's so

719
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: young to be focusing on that right now. Yeah, it's

720
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: hard to not just shoot this down because when I

721
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: was eighteen, I had, you know, big plans also, and

722
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: it's amazing that you do, and it's really cool to

723
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking like that. So you're saying, I plan on

724
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: building a house for me and my girlfriend one day,

725
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: and I was wondering what kind of tips you have

726
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: to do that? So, okay, I could help you with that.

727
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: Put out of your mind that you're going to do it.

728
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: This year or next year or the year after that.

729
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: Put that out of your mind and do a couple

730
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: of things. One, focus on your girlfriend, see if see

731
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: if she's the one. I mean everyone listening is kind

732
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: of holding the breath thinking, I mean, it would really

733
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: suck to build a house for a girl that then

734
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: you break up with in six months, and when you're

735
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: eighteen that happens. You're you're like one argument away from

736
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: a breakup, and you don't want to do that in

737
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: the middle of a home build That's that is a mess.

738
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: So uh, keep your keep keep your research going with her,

739
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: see if she's going to be awesome. And then at

740
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: the same time, look at real estate online, get some apps,

741
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: look at some land, look at little lots, look at

742
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: big lots, whatever, whatever. I don't know what you could afford,

743
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: but look at different neighborhoods, kind of see styles of

744
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: homes like I like brick, I like wood, I like sighting,

745
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: I like rock, I like mobile home whatever. See what

746
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: your style is and what you can afford and what

747
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: you like and what kind of land do you like

748
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: a neighborhood? Do you like a condo in downtown? Do

749
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: you like a farmhouse? Way out in the middle of nowhere.

750
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: These are things to go and research and talk about.

751
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: Look at right, yeah, look at builders and see what

752
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: kind of styles you like. You can start a Pinterest board.

753
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: You and her could each start, like we have pictures

754
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: that we share with each other for our styles that

755
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: we like. And then somewhere down the road if it leads.

756
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: If it leads that way and you guys end up

757
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: getting married or something, then go build your dream house. Yeah.

758
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: If you're just super entrepreneur, then you could actually build

759
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: houses to start putting renters in them if you if

760
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: that's something you could, you could look at putting renters

761
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: in and then flipping it or living in it later.

762
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of options. It's cool that you're

763
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: thinking big like that, and I think now's the time

764
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: at eighteen to just soak it all in and kind

765
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: of dial in what you want out of life. Thanks Mikey.

766
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: Hope that helped Mikey. Question is from Lee from Ohio

767
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ohio. He says, I have a few questions. Really,

768
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: when is it a good time to call it quits

769
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: with the marriage? Uh? Oh, I have religious beliefs. She

770
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: does not. She had an affair, and when she said

771
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: she was done with that affair, I sometimes still see

772
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: her with the person from the affair. You don't have

773
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: to speak of this on the air or on your podcast,

774
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of already doing it. I really need

775
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: someone to talk about with this subject where when those

776
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: type of questions. God bless you in advance, love your podcast,

777
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to hearing from you soon. Oh man, Lee, Lee, dude,

778
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you still on these questions and I'm not expecting

779
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: to hear what my mouth is saying. Well, I think

780
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: you answered something like this on one of your other

781
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: podcasts and you answered it beautifully. I wish you could

782
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: just replay exactly what she said. It was kind of

783
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: thing twice, so it's kind of an ultimatum. It just said,

784
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, if you love her, if you love her,

785
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: you sit down, you talk with her, you guys, but

786
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: you have to she has to want it back, you know.

787
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 1: It takes two and she has to want to try

788
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: to change, maybe go to therapy, maybe stop seeing this

789
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: other person that that she's still seeing, because obviously that's

790
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: hurting you. So I wish I could play what you

791
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: said because it was just perfect. That's might've been what

792
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: I said that, then I would say this, now, okay,

793
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: here we go. It's time, buddy, it's time to leave. Okay,

794
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: let me let me counteract. So go. When you don't

795
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: have the same religious beliefs in a marriage, that's hard

796
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: because you're never going to really be on the same page.

797
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: And then if you have children, they're not going to

798
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: be on the same page raising them in that way.

799
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: But also, let me say I have had friends who

800
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: have made mistakes and stepped out in their marriage and

801
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: have come back together through God though with God, with

802
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: Jesus and with forgiveness, and their marriage is strong, stronger now.

803
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: So saying that though, if you don't have the same

804
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: religious beliefs, I don't know that that could work in

805
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: your case. It's so hard to just read a question

806
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: static here on my phone and not know anything more

807
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: than what this person has written on any of these questions.

808
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: And so when it says I have religious beliefs, she

809
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: does not. She had an affair, I didn't. She said

810
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: she's done with it. Sometimes I see her still with

811
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: that person from the affair. When I see that, I'm

812
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: just like, well, that's pretty much strike three. Yeah, you know,

813
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean what else you could go, well and have

814
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: this ultimatum with her, but it sounds like you've already

815
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: done that. It sounds like you guys have had multiple

816
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: conversations because you said that, she said she's done with it.

817
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: But I don't feel from your words any kind of

818
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: remorse from her or or true repentance towards you, your

819
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: relationship and you. You are not a perfect person. And

820
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because I'm not an

821
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: Amber's not and no one is so. But it sounds

822
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: like it's time. It's time to have the hard conversation.

823
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: And maybe you say, hey, and this this email came

824
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: in November twenty fourth, so maybe you say, I don't know,

825
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to hear this in

826
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: time leave, But maybe you say, hey, in twenty twenty

827
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: one Valentine's Day, I'm just throwing that out there. Yeah,

828
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna file for divorce. And I

829
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: don't want to. I desperately don't want to. My heart

830
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: doesn't want to, but my brain tells me this is

831
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: a pattern and you don't really want to be here.

832
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: The proof you're still hanging with the guy from the

833
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: affair like, yeah, that's the biggest thing in this email

834
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: for me is you're still she's still hanging out with

835
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: the dude, and that that should be that should have

836
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: been long been gone, that should have been. I'm so sorry.

837
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: I messed up. Everybody makes mistakes, but done done. I

838
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: love you. I want to be with you. Yeah, so

839
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: I want to work on this. I would put it

840
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: like either a January first or a February fourteenth, Like

841
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: just trying to pick big days you know easily remember,

842
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: rememberable days, memorable days, and just say, hey, I'm out.

843
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm out at this date unless unless I feel a

844
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: total turnaround from you, and she might, she might look

845
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: at you and the look at you in the eye

846
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: and just say okay, okay. Yeah. But if she does agree,

847
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: you have to know going in that it's going to

848
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: be work. It's going to be hard because you're you're

849
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: you may be able to forgive, but you won't forget.

850
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: So you have to know going in. Look, if she

851
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: tells me she wants to be with me, she wants

852
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: to work this out with me, we're going to be good.

853
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to let it go. It's not something

854
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: that you could bring up in a fight. You know,

855
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: if you'll get in a fight and that's that's tough,

856
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: that's hard. Yeah, for sure, I'm sorry, let us know, yeah,

857
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: right back, right back. But I am a firm believer

858
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: that things can be restored. But it takes two people

859
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: that really want it. Yeah, is that a funny one

860
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm jumping into. I'm gonna jump into a light one.

861
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: We need a light one. This one came today at

862
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: eight o'clock this morning, switching it up. It says good

863
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: morning and Merry Christmas. I recently came across your podcast

864
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 1: and the Smith Family vlog. I have grown to really

865
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: love your family. My question is, if we want to

866
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: support our favorite artist, what is the best way we

867
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: could do that by CDs stream through a streaming service.

868
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: Thank you, Shannon, Shannon God bless you for caring enough

869
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: to ask a question like that, And I speak for

870
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: all the musicians and artists of the world that are

871
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: struggling during a pandemic. We thank you for wanting to

872
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: take the extra step because not many people care. I think.

873
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: But it's a great question, very misunderstood question, multi layered question,

874
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: and the number one thing anyone could do for their band.

875
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: The number one thing, which is tough during a pandemic

876
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: is buy tickets to their show, and not only buy

877
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: tickets to the show, but by it's in advance, pre

878
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: sold tickets. So you go to the venue's website or

879
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: the artist website and you see the next time they're

880
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: coming to your town, and you buy tickets as early

881
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: as you can. That creates the hype for the show

882
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: and the artist, and that makes a big difference. And

883
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to support that totally right now with this pandemic,

884
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: but that's just the bottom line. Doesn't matter if it's

885
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber or Luke Bryan or the local guitar player

886
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: from your hometown, supporting them with live ticket sales is

887
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: the number one thing you could do today in this

888
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: day and age with the fall of album sales and

889
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: the fractions of pennies you get from streaming. Everything we

890
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: do now as musicians, song wise, streaming wise, YouTube wise,

891
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: album release wise, everything is an advertisement to sell those

892
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: tickets because that's where artists and bands and crews and

893
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: their families, and the vendors and the and the bartenders

894
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 1: and the waiters and the everyone, the drivers, that's where

895
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: they all get their paycheck from is from live touring?

896
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: Do you have anything out of that? Streaming too, Streaming?

897
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: Streaming helps, right, Streaming yeah, and streaming doesn't. Streaming doesn't

898
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: financially help, but it does help build the hype, and

899
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: the hype then builds more media companies getting involved, and

900
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: then more media companies get involved. The more the message

901
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: spreads to other people. The more it spreads to other people,

902
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: the more you sell tickets. It always goes back to tickets.

903
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: It always goes back to concerts. In nineteen ninety six

904
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 1: with Garth Brooks, it didn't matter when Shania Twain came out.

905
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: She didn't tour the first whole year of her career.

906
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: She just kicked back and let the momentum build through

907
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: her album sales. And she didn't have to. Their money

908
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: was so great with album sales that she could pay

909
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: an entire staff and crew and band to do nothing

910
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: but sit. That's how great that money was. But today

911
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: you have no choice. You have to tour, which is

912
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: why this pandemic has been crazy. And I mean, I

913
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: will say this. I have gotten a couple of emails

914
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: of people saying, what about independent artists? Do CD sales

915
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: help independent artist sure, yeah, but it also helps sign artist.

916
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: There's not really a difference between an indie artist and

917
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: a sign artist when it comes to album sales. It

918
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: depends on the deal you signed. But yeah, you buy

919
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: my album, that's great, it's great. You buy two thousand

920
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: of them, that's awesome. But it still cost a whole

921
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: lot of money to make the album. So really it

922
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: ends up just breaking even. And it's I can't say

923
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: it enough if you think about it. And I was

924
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: explaining this to Turkla Lunkers TV like a couple of

925
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: years ago. He was trying to think about we were

926
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: looking at perspective of a big arena act and he

927
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: was like, what do you get from album sales? We'll

928
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: say you get at the best, say you get seven

929
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: dollars an album seal that's really high considering packaging and everything. Well,

930
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: and then you sell sell a thousand of them, you know,

931
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 1: because so you got seven thousand bucks. But you sell

932
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: out an arena for the Georgia line, because that's who

933
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: he was specifically talking about. And you put thirty thousand

934
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: people in an arena for a sixty dollars ticket and

935
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 1: one night you can't compete. There's nothing that can compete

936
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: with that amount of revenue from a big concert. No

937
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: album sales matter at that point, They're just an advertisement.

938
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: So did I answer that? Don't fully? Yeah to Shannon.

939
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 1: Thank you Shannon. It's good down this one. This one

940
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: subject is Earl Dibbles Junior. Earl Dabbles Junior, I'm a

941
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: country boy, he says. Hey Granger, I've been following you

942
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: for quite some time. Love your music, your faith, your

943
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: positive energy, see positive energy that you put out. We

944
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: have a question about Earl Dibbles Junior. When you do skits,

945
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: commercials or videos involving like the Earl Dibbles for President

946
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: or the EE commercial, who comes up with that? With

947
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: what he says he parentheses or alter ego is so funny.

948
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: One other question, do you ever take some of that

949
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: humor from Earle home to the kids in amber? Side note,

950
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm a female and I don't work on cars, but

951
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated with what y'all are doing with Earl's truck.

952
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: Keep up all the great effort and work. Thanks Carrie

953
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: from North Richland Hills, Texas. Hey Carrie, what's up? Carrie?

954
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: Thank you? See, first of all, are you answered the

955
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 1: second part, because you're here, and I'll answer the first.

956
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: Park who comes up with what Earl says? So it

957
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 1: was usually always me sprinkled in with Tyler. That was

958
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: the beginning of what Earl's actually says. Then as years

959
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: have gone by, Parker or my youngest brother who's on

960
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: this podcast, a bunch has stepped in a lot to

961
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: contribute to the content. Hayden at YEE Apparel works occasionally,

962
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: like on specially on Diploman and pick Them. He works

963
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot on that. And then we'll talk about like

964
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: Earl for President. I think Hayden had a lot to

965
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: do with that, Yeah, if it wasn't his whole idea

966
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: or especially EEE commercial. So there is a good collab

967
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: going on right now. Chris Lee, my tour manager, has

968
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: been known to jump in a few times, but I

969
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: would say Hayden, Tyler, Parker, occasionally, Chris Lee and me.

970
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: That circle of five is the content creators when it

971
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: comes to Earl, like that Earl Divils Earl Dibbles for

972
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: President commercial that she's talking about. I had nothing to

973
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: do with the creation of that commercial. I just I

974
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: literally they said, hey, at four o'clock, we're shooting this

975
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: Earl Divils for President thing. That's it and I just

976
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: showed up. That's That's not how it used to be

977
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: when I first started Earl and I love it this

978
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: way because it allows me to do a lot of

979
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: different things. It allows me to be sitting in here

980
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: in this bus doing the podcast while they're in there

981
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: coming up with the next Earl skit. Now that being said,

982
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: whenever the camera comes on, whatever comes out of Earl's

983
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: mouth is that's what. That's what Earl's idea was. So

984
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: there's usually a idea like, Okay, Earl's going to stand

985
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: up on this platform. He's going to talk about a

986
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: couple of things, like what uh domestic policy, So you

987
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: come up with an earlism that counteracts like Earl is

988
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: constantly misunderstanding what the real world is saying. So Earl's

989
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: going to talk about domestic policy. And then Earl steps

990
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: to the podium unscripted, without anything, and he would say,

991
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: domestic policy, here's my domestic policy. Stop all that impointed

992
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: beer and just stick with bud light, you know, and

993
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: he would go off on how he doesn't like you know,

994
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: MODELO and Corona. So that's pretty much how it goes,

995
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: So do I does the few? Does the humor come home?

996
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: Does the humor come home with Earl? Not? Really? The

997
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: kids are funnier, Yeah, the kids are. The kids are funny,

998
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: But the kids are just like I don't know if

999
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: I just say anything about the alter ego, but they're

1000
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: kind of over it, you know, like they love Earl,

1001
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: but when Daddy's home, it's Daddy. Like they don't want

1002
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: to they don't want to really have any part of Earl.

1003
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: He does other voices now, he doesn't come home with Earl.

1004
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: He does other voices with the kids that make them laugh.

1005
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: Put this in perspective, the kids have always only known Earl. Yeah,

1006
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: like Earl has been around. He was he was invented

1007
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven five, four or five months before London

1008
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: was born. So as long as my kids have been around,

1009
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: Earl has been around too. Yeah, So just it's not

1010
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: any different. Now. We do have these funny conversations like, ah,

1011
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to meet Earl today, and Lincoln's always like, Daddy,

1012
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: that's you, And I'm like, no, Earl's a different person. No, Daddy,

1013
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: that's you. I know that's you, Daddy, Daddy I see

1014
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: your tattoos, Daddy. I know, I know, Daddy, I see

1015
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: you look through tattoos. I'm like, I'm not Earl, and

1016
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: he's like daddy, and then we just it's just just

1017
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: funny back and forth and London's just like just rolls

1018
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: her eyes. Oh, here we go. Yeah. Is there any

1019
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: any other question on that side? Note I'm a female.

1020
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't work on cars. That's awesome, Thank you, Carrie.

1021
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: Awesome question. Let me jump back. I'm gonna I'm gonna

1022
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: do one more. Okay, I think we have time for

1023
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: one more. We're a little bit long on this segment,

1024
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go back to the amber box because

1025
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: we've kind of narrowed this down a little bit. I'm

1026
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: not gonna hit next one. Yeah, next one, next podcast. Oh,

1027
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: that's it, Okay, all right. This one's called Bible and Tattoos,

1028
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: and it says, hey, Granger, my wife and I are

1029
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: huge fans of you and your family. You amaze me

1030
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: with all your knowledge of the Bible. I don't know

1031
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: about that much respect my friend. My wife and I

1032
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: are in a little debate. We're both raised in the

1033
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: church and attend church weekly. We have noticed that you

1034
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: and Amber both have tattoos. I wanted to get one

1035
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: for more than ten years, but my wife and mom

1036
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: passed away seven years ago to cancer. Says it's not biblical.

1037
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: There is a verse in Leviticus that says, in Leviticus

1038
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight, you shall not make any cuttings in

1039
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you.

1040
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I am the Lord. Please share your thoughts on this

1041
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: subject and why you and Amber have biblical reasons for

1042
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: your tattoos. We live in Washington near Tacoma. Thanks God,

1043
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: bless Eric. Ye ye, thank you Eric. Awesome question. Good stuff?

1044
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Good stuff? Yeah, yeah, good stuff. And I've actually thought

1045
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: about this too. Let me first start off by saying

1046
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: that do I have biblical reasons for my tattoos? Let

1047
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: me just say that the tattoos that I've gotten, except

1048
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: for one, were all before I came to know Christ,

1049
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: and they all don't mean anything. They are pointless. I

1050
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: wish I didn't get them, So just saying that now

1051
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: after River past, I got one on my set of

1052
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: faith with some birds. And it's hard to answer that

1053
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: because while the Bible does say certain things, you know,

1054
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I was listening are you pulling up John Piper? So,

1055
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: John Piper was saying that if you get a tattoo,

1056
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: it should be for your love of God or Christ

1057
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: or faith. And so that is my really only one

1058
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: that actually means something. And so and then I do

1059
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: want to get another one because I just got baptized.

1060
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 1: I want to get a little cross right here. Oh sorry,

1061
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and that was for River too. I want to get

1062
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: another one across right there. So I think for me,

1063
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: if I ever did give another tattoo, it would be

1064
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: for Christ or my faith and just just professing that

1065
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: to men. But I don't know, how would you answer

1066
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: that about being biblicalor yeah, I can answer that, and

1067
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: I want to before I do, I want to say

1068
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: guys that there's a podcast called Desiring God. It's led

1069
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: by an amazing man named John Piper, and I follow

1070
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the pipe for like, if I really want to get

1071
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: deep on something on a question that's anything theology, I

1072
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: could trust in some form Piper's way because he could

1073
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: really dig into the scripture itself. So there's a there's

1074
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a podcast called Desiring God, and then there is an

1075
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: actual episode called Tattoos and Biblical Perspective. So listen to

1076
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: that after you finished with this. If you're interested in

1077
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: this question, please listen to Piper, because he's way better

1078
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: than me. But I'll say Eric through my thoughts, and

1079
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: I can kind of echo what Amber said about how

1080
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the tattoos happened before we were serious.

1081
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: And I cannot speak for Earl Dibbles. I'm sorry, I

1082
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: cannot speak for that guy. So Eric, and specifically in Leviticus,

1083
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that's the time it says it, and Leviticus is part

1084
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: of Moses's law, and this is a time when historically

1085
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Christian history, the Israelites were constantly in rebellion to God

1086
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and his commandments. And part of that rebellion was they

1087
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: were constantly mingling amongst the hedonists, the locals in every

1088
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: little area that they would settle in. So there was Canaanites,

1089
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: and there was the Philistines. There were always groups that

1090
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: worshiped other gods in the Old Old Testament, and part

1091
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: of that in Leviticus was that these other tribes, these

1092
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: other groups that were not Israelites, part of how you

1093
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: could tell them a part was they had tattoos and

1094
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: cuttings in their flesh for the dead. I'm not even

1095
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: sure exactly what that means, cuttings in the flesh for

1096
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: the dead, or tattoo marks. So this was a sign

1097
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: of these tribes that were not followers of the God

1098
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: of Israel, the God of Abraham. And part of that

1099
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: scripture is commanding the Israelites. This was you know, that

1100
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: scripture was written thousands of years ago, so it's commanding

1101
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: them to separate yourself, do not intermingle, do not marry,

1102
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: do not worship their gods, do not even look like them,

1103
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: don't even dress like them. That's part of that. So

1104
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: then you fast forward two thousand years and you get

1105
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: to the New Testament and Jesus comes to fulfill the

1106
01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Law and become the New Promise, to become the New Covenant,

1107
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: the New Commandment all combined into one, and his message

1108
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: was follow me, love God above all else, I am

1109
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: the way. And I don't want to say, I don't

1110
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: want to say on this podcast that when he did that,

1111
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: forget everything in the Old Testament. I don't want to

1112
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: say that. But you could see that through Christ in

1113
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: the New Testament, he made it a way for everyone

1114
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: to follow him and have eternal life, and no longer

1115
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: was there the laws that held you down, that you

1116
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: had to go get too dove and a male lamb

1117
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: and sacrifice the blood. And Jesus said, everyone's a sinner,

1118
01:05:56,080 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: everyone's equal. Moses says, do not murder, but if you've

1119
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: ever thought bad about your brother, you've committed murder. Moses said,

1120
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: do not commit adultery. But if you've ever had lust

1121
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: in your mind and a thought about another woman, you've

1122
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: committed adultery. We're all sinners, so I think that you

1123
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: could say the same thing. Do not Moses says, do

1124
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: not get tattoos. But if you've ever gotten a sharpie

1125
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: written as Earl Dubls Junior, and you have gotten tattoos,

1126
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: you are a sinner. You know you could throw all

1127
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: that in there and kind of lump that all in

1128
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: to we've all messed up, and it is not worth

1129
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: getting hung up on that in your life. It's not

1130
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: worth it. That you need to keep your eye on

1131
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: the prize and not not worry about something that Leviticus says.

1132
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: If that that all that being said, if it's a

1133
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:54,439
Speaker 1: true debate with your wife then or your deceased mother,

1134
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: maybe you should follow their follow their wishes, but you

1135
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: could probably meet in the middle. Just like Amber said,

1136
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: where you get. Don't get a meaningless tattoo. Get something

1137
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: that that brings you closer to the Kingdom of God

1138
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: in some way, like maybe you need something. You can't

1139
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: look at somebody because they have a little Bible Verse

1140
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: on their left wrist. You can't look at that person

1141
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and go center, going to hell. You know you can't.

1142
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: You can't because maybe they need that Bible Verse every day.

1143
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: When they look at it, it takes them, It's into

1144
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a good place. So I think that that's my best

1145
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: way to answer it. But go to John Piper and

1146
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: listen to that. Yeah, who I get worked up on

1147
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: this microphone. Okay, thank you, Eric, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1148
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: close that out and then hopefully you'll be back Amber
