• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That's when you know your air conditioners on. Yeah, good too, though,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: because it's like that big of a transition, I think
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you're that's a little privilege you're speaking from because it
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: means your house is nice and cool. Well, because it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that big of a change, you know what I'm saying.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: If it was just like if you're if you have
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: your houset on like say seventy three, seventy four, maybe
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it doesn't do that, but you're a sixty five kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of one and three. What do you what's your what's

• 3:59
  Speaker 3: In the summer, yeah, it can get pretty high. I'm
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: not here to I don't want to say you don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: want to say that I'm there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It's because different regions of the country listen to us,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and they probably be like, that's nothing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But I pay to try to sleep. That you can't
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: sleep if you get hot, if it's hot yet.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: But I don't get hot anymore. When I lost the weight,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm cold natured now. I'm like a little old lady. Wow,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I take a jack, I take a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: jacket into restaurants. Now I do things.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You must used to be a bigger old lady to me,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But yes, I was a.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Big old lady. You don't see a lot of big
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: old ladies. That's the thing. That's the thing that maybe
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that scared me straight. I noticed, Hey, you don't see
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of seventy pound or seventy year old You
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: say seventy pound. You don't see a lot of seventy
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: year old three hundred pound guys. You know what I mean.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: They're out there, but it's not. You don't have great odds. No,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: So I was like, it's time to clean it up.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I knew some people in my family that were larger
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and lived into their eighties.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It really gives me great comfort.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: One thing I did read about being heavy as an
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: older person is that they when you get osteoporosis, they
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: tell you do weight bearing exercise than you already are
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and have fat people never get hostile porosis because you're
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: doing weight bearing exercise by living. Unless you get like
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: chair bound or bedbound, then you're yeah, maybe you could
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: develop it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But so you're saying I need to gain.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Saying let's put let's pack on the past since my friend. Yes, John.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So one time I was in on a trip in Phoenix.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Well the first time was I've ever been to Phoenix.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And it was a campus thing, this campus ministry, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: it was one of those things where they go stay
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: with a host family. We were going to get your hotel,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: but stay with it. And I'm not I'm too introverted
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: for that, but I did it because I didn't want
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to offend these people. So now you're in this family's house. Yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and I did not know the rules. And if you've
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: ever been to that climate before, like in Phoenix, if
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you've been there, but you've never stayed with anybody. So
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I go into the house. It feels a little warm.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I'm probably too eighty at this point. I go to sleep.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I wake up drenched and you're keep it on like
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: seventy five or something. No, I go look at the thermostat.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It's on eighty two. Come, so, I go, this is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a mistake. They must have it on a hold or something.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You know how thermostats have a hole and they lapse
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and then you go, oh, it's a hold. I go,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: did it did did did it? Did? Dude? I crank
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it down to like seventy two. I wake up the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: next day and we're at we're at breakfast. We're all
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: talking and everybody's just kind of clearing the road, looking around,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: like what do we talk about? And then they go,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: who would tie the comedians? They go, they go, Tony,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: did you touch the thermostat? I go, yeah, there must
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: have been a holder, some psycho put it on it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I go, it was on like eighty two and I was.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: They go, if we lower our thermostat here in Phoenix
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: below eighty, our electric bill will be six hundred dollars.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I go what.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: They go, that's why we all have pools. I go,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: so you don't burst into flame? How do you sleep?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And they wait until they get hot enough that they're
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: about to errupt, and then they go jump in the pools.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: You're like, sound ben't that wild? So I can't imagine
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: what their bills are now. But he goes, it would
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: be six hundred dollars if we if we drop it
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: below eighty. And we did it one one month and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: it was it was a six hundred dollars.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I will tell you my bill is not six hundred dollars.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's he can reach in the four fifty range
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: in a bad you know kind of thing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's a lot.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, but yeah again, I can't I have
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I have a fan on my bedside table. Okay, they
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: have a box fan in the room of a ceiling
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: fan over the top of it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Are you and you're a noisemaker guy too, right? And
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: like air purifier? Wow?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my buddy, don't have a noise machine on my phone.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: My buddy Rick Roberts, who you know, did road comedy
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: in comedy clubs for twenty years and then started doing
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: corporates and been doing that for another ten or fifteen years.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: So he's just a lifer on in hotels. And one
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: time we did a road trip together and him checking
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: in was comical to me because I just thought, we're
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we're in a hotel. I still have I still felt
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: like a kid. Yeah, like I get to go get
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: paid to do jokes, and I'm here with this guy
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: who's grizzled from the road and he he goes they
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: go any preference on room, he goes, not by the elevator,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not by the ice machine, not buy any large groups.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Can you put me in the corner. He had all
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: this stuff and they go okay, and they're clicking or
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: they're clicking around and found in a room. And then
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like this guy. And then he had like a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: duffel bag full of stuff. He had his own pillow,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: he had a fan, he had a noise machine, he
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: had ear plugs, he had I mean, it was wild.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: And I'm just like this guy. And he goes, you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: don't have problems sleep, and I go, no, this was
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: twelve years ago. He goes, he looked at me, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he goes, that's a gift. He goes, what you're talking
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: about is a gift. Oh yeah, And here I go. Whatever.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And now I mean, I have to take stuff at
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: night to sleep. I don't do the noise machine yet.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Now I don't bring my own pillow, but sometimes I'm
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at a room and I go, I should have brought
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: my own pillow.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I rarely sleep with the night, and my wife can
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: barely ever sleep at the night. Like last night was
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: a big deal. I think she fell asleep about eleven
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and slept till like five point thirty and that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Was like the longest night as sleep. She's had in
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: three months.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: She's so refreshed.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's like I can't. I mean she's
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: up at three all the time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: My buddy Joe Zimmerman, great comedian from New York. He
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: opens for Nate Simon. I met him and he has
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this bit about, uh, how he started experimenting with early bedtime,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and he goes, it's tough man. He goes, it's uh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He goes. He goes, I went to bed at nine
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the other day, and he goes, nine is the gateway
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to eight thirty. And he goes. You he goes, you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: get to eight eight pm is the overdose of early sleep.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: He goes, You wake up at three am, refreshed, Just
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: wander the streets with the other degenerates. Nothing's open yet.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: You just you're totally refreshed at three am. But yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it's such a funny thing. When you get older, you're like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: we could go to bed, ain't tell we want. When
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you're a kid, you fight, you'll fight your parents because
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you don't want to go to bed. That's the worst
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: fight you have. I don't want my mom. She was again,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: my mom was just different in so many ways, but
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: she loved her kids so much, and she was not
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: She was like our friend. She would discipline us and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: had expectations of us, but also she was a night owl.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So if we go, let's can we step late? She go,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: get your homework done and you can we can stab late.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: So I never really had like, I mean, maybe to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: like sixth grade, I had like a ten pm bedtime.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: But once I was in like middle school and beyond,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: she would let me step to like eleven or midnight
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: as long as I had everything done. And one of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the things she would let me do is watch the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Tonight Show monologue. She'd let me watch Johnny Carson monologue.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And so that's how I really started curious.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And the rest is this.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: The rest is yeah, And I'd go to I'd be
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: doing the jokes at the lunch table and stuff. But
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that was because of my mom, because she didn't make
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: bedtime that big of a deal.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Could you get up the next morning, yeah, that was
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that was the big thing.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: That was the big thing. She would go, don't give
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: me guff when I come to wake you up at seven,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Like I don't want to hear it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I tell Sadie all the time, I don't care if
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you stay up as late as you want.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: The issue is not that it's just get up the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: next ride.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be a pill? Are you gonna
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: be a group? Yeah?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: But she has to drive an hour, so she to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: be like a little before six.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Well, and you've got to be awake enough to do
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, if you're driving yourself. So that is
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a big deal when you're a kid. Yeah, that's different.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I was a bus rider for one year, one or
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: two years of my childhood, and I was thinking about
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the other day because our buddy Derek's Troop has that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: great bit about you bus riders versus car rider. I've
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: seen some U car riders got soft hands. He said,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: it's shaped who I am. But I did buck. We moved.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: We were in like Powell, I think Powell, Tennessee, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: we lived in this little subdivision and for whatever reason,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: we went to a school where they was and my
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: mom's like yeah, and we walked. We had to get
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: out of our uh and we'd walk all the way
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to the end of our street and it was a
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: good like quarter mile to get to where the bus
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: stop was. And we'd wake with the other kids, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I think she would drive us at some point because
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: she had radio station job third shift, so I think
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: she would be getting home from work, she would get
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: us ready for school, and then I think she would
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: drive us down to the end of the bus stop.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we'd wait in the car with her, but she
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: didn't have time to take us all for some reason
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: all the time. But I remember that year, and it
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: was a weird year. And it's true, like all the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: kids were on the same bus all through because it
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was such a small school system for whatever that county was,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and it was a weird thing. You got like the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: really gigantic ninth grader and like the.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And there's no adult on their moderating or protecting, right, Yeah,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: it's very Yeah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And no seat belts, by the way, which I don't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: know how they got that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That's just a thing.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: That's just a thing they figured out it was safer
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to just let them just.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I'm hitting things swinging wildly. I don't know, man, speaking
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of swinging wildly. Now, the uh, what we did? We
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: need to do an ad We need to let's take
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a minute, y'all, and here from a few of our
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: fun sponts.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: All right, So we were swinging wildly.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's a guy I wanted to talk about
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: because you know, my scooter injury happened. I'm trying to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: find it. It's this guy from Major League Baseball team
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just had his contract. They're trying to avoid his contract
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: or something. I think because it was on my news today,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: on my like ESPN news, and it said scooters or
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: whatever under fire today and I was like, scooters. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: thought it might have been whatever because if you remember,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: remember Jay Williams played for Duke and then he got
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: drafted by the Bulls. He was like a big prospect.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I think he was like a top five pick, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: then he was in his rookie season maybe it was
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the second year, but he had like a big scooter
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: like I did the Bergman, like a big like motor scooter,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: like a motorcycle, and he ran it into a telephone
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: pole or something and broke his leg, and he broke
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: it in such a way that it was like it
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: ended his playing career. He never came back and was
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: quite the same. He had pins and stuff in his
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: leg and uh. And so they tried to like avoid
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: his deal, and I think that the Union came in
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and protected it because guaranteed money in NBA, you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: so it's like whatever. But I think he had some
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: clause it's like no dangerous behavior, and they do have
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a thing that I think about. I need to look
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it up because I'll get corrected. Maybe he did end
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: up losing some money. But you know, you can't go skydiving,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you can't go whatever, bull riding, right just because you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: if you can.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Do anything from the Tim McGraw song.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can't go rocky mountain climbing. You can't go
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: two point seven seconds.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Do not if you if you had that's what they
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: let his contract.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: They get you in the room and they go, hey,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: we were going to have you look at this long contract,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: but instead we're just going to play this diamond rio.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Diamond rio. I wasn't okay anyway, they do that and
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they just play that song and they go.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: No, of this, You're never gonna live like a dying Yeah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: We don't. But that's the thing these athletes. They that's
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: why it's so hard for them to retire. They thrive
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: on this momentum and this adrenaline and then they go, well,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: now I'm just going to be a dude, and so
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they go get a motorcycle or they go get they
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: have a gambling addiction or whatever it is, and so
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: it's hard. Well, now, believe it or not, almost all
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: these athletes are getting these little e scooters that you see,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and that's how they zip back and forth, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: even if they're at the training facility. Yeah, because it's
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a big facility and they're in the arena and they'll
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: just zip around. Well, people are getting hurt, and it
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: made me and so this guy can't remember his name.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I was trying to look him up. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: he was injured and recuperating and rehabbing the injury, but
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the money's guaranteed. And then while he was rehabbing, he
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: gets on a scooter and exacerbates the injury or re
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: injured it. Now he's out the rest of the year.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: He was supposed to come back. And so now the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: team's trying to cry foul. The players unions to jump
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in and be like, you can't you nobody told him
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: he couldn't have the Yeah, But now these teams are
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: like looking at the next collective bargain agreement, figuring out
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: some kind of solution where you can ban these things.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But it made me think because I was talking about
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: lunch today. But the the funniest thing to me is
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I've tried to give my scooters away half four of them,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and I gave two away to my tour manager as
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: like a little tour bonus. Hey man, I got four
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: of these. I'm not keeping them. Here you go. He
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: was like, great, but I have two left and I can't.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I have friends. I'm like, do you want one of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: these for your girls? And they go, well, we were
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: gonna take one. But after hearing that you what you did?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: No way I would try, and I go, but I'm
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: a cautionary tale. I'm not like the example of like
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: if it can happen to Johnny.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: His finally tuned athletes, Yeah, fell off, it's.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: A specimen and he but now you hear that athletes
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: really are, like they throw a baseball one hundred miles
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: an hour and they have completely finely tuned balance of
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you know, they can make their body do crazy things,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: and yet they came off a scooter wrong, and now
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they've porn their achilles and they can't play baseball anymore. So, yeah,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: it is kind of a thing.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: You've never been I think more restored to confidence. Yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: now you know even happened to that guy, I don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: feel bad anymore.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna do. I'm going on and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: get on that scooter. It's time to get back on
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that bull named food Man.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: You're gonna wear a helmet this time.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: That just takes away all the you know what I mean.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You want the wind in your hat.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You have the wind in your teeth.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, chise man. I don't know, but it is scary.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And just be careful out there. That's all I'm saying. Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: because I think when people heard that it happened, they
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: were like, I felt shame, immediate shame because you're like,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: this is a kid's toy. It felt like, and you're
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: on it and you're whatever, and it's in a big
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: electric machine. But you're like, still it's a kid's toy.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: In she feels shame. So it almost does you go
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: because I would tell you know what I told some
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: other comics. They were like like the little jing jing hingshing, No,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it's not a stop it under your own Flintston or something. Right.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: It wasn't flintstone powered. It was fully battery powered. This
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: was full on was I was flying. Do you know
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: why Fred only had three toes by the way, he
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: wore the other two off star in the car job.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: It's not time for joke about that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, time for that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I think it is time though, Johnny from my segment,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sure, yeah, and it's called they talked about that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: GK. Chesterton that is so great.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I think C. S. Lewis gave him credit for his
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: part of his conversion. Wasn't GK one of the ones
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: who mentored CS?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, and there was a guy named George McDonald that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: mentored G. K. Chesterton.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's the big It's like the Belichick coaching Tree.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It's like, yeah, it's the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Theology coaching Tree.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And we're doing a series on Wonder, Yeah, which is
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: again I'm the one that put the series together. But
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: like it's Andrew's wheelhouse, you know, he's he's very Yeah,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: find the good and everything, you know, right, I have
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: to search for it. I'm in my head first before
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like experiencing now when I go out into nature.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: That's why we need to be outside more.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: It's true, is it really doesn't something I need to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: see vast things that I can't you know, I can
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: predict what they are, but they're gonna look different every time,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: you know. But from Sunday offs according to GK. And
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: we talked about this before, but I found the full
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the full quote for this, and it says it is
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: possible that God says, every morning, do it again to
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the sun, and every evening, do it again to the moon.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It may be that God makes every daisy separately, but
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: has never got tired of making them. It may be
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: that He has the eternal appetite of infancy. For we
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: have sinned and grown old, and our father is younger
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: than we The repetition in nature may not be a
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: mere recurrence. It may be a theatrical encore.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's good.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I'd never of I use this.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I always talk about Chesterton talking about this, but I've
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: never read the line we have sinned and grown old
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: and our father is younger than we are. And I
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: mean I leaned into and I went to some George
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: McDonald quotes as well, because he talks about some similar
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: things on Sunday. But like the idea one that God
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: has the eternal appetite of a child. In terms of wonder,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: in terms of yeah, he can marvel at the things
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: that he makes. He has the ability to not just go, well,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I did that, so it's the big deal, but to go,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: you know, that is beautiful, that is amazing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Do it again. Not just setting it in motion.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: This is where the deists would you know, say that
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: God just sets the earth in motion.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: He built the watch, right, he was the watchmaker. He
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: built the watch, and all the gears. Now just go
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: into the thing and now it just it. He winds
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the watch from time to time, but it's it's really
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: kind of a hands off it in motion.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And Chestertow would say, actually, there's a there's a marvel.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: He repaints a new sunrise and sunset every day of
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: his own artistic wonder, which again the the intricate involved
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: part which I think scripture supports in terms of he
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: knows the number of the hairs in your head, he
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: knows how the sparrow falls in the woods, he knows
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you know, every lily right in the field. He's aware
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of all these things. So there's this micro greatness of God.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: This this this micro sovereignty is not just the big stuff.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: It's the small stuff as well. But this idea I
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: think that we and this is what got me when
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I see children, and that's why I went into Jesus
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: talking about many times Jesus talked about if you want
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: to come to the Kingdom of God, you have to
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: become like a child. You have to change and become
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: like a child. Because and then in another place, there chill.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: This is this is what's greatness as those who come
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in the faith like a child, and only not childishness,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: child likeness. And I was like, I'm talked about what
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: are children? Children don't bring any solutions, They only bring
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: more problems. Where children don't bring any answers to mystery.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: They only bring more questions, the incessant questions. And children
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: don't they don't, they don't produce or contribute in any way.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: And then I read another scripture that says Jesus says,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: he quotes, I think from the Old Testament that I'm
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: so great that I'm so grateful God that you have
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: hidden this wisdom from the wise of this age and
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: he revealed it to children. Yeah, and You're like, well,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: what wisdom has he revealed to children? If they don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: know anything about anything, and the wisdom is wonder.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the wisdom is this marveling in this they
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: they enjoy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: They don't know enough yet to be cynical. We think
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: cynicism is like being grown up. Yeah. Yeah, I'm seeing
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it for what it is and you're like, no, you're
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: you're coloring it, You're doing something. It reminded me of that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: There's a CS. Lewis quote that's great. It says, when
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I became a man, I put away childish things, including
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the fear of childishness and the desire to be very
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: grown up.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: M that's great.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can tell is in that quote. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Like there's there's a little bit of like homage.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: And I was talking about how like I showed a
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: picture of me holding our youth Fastor's new baby in
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: staff meeting. Yeah, it was like, for all of the
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: ways I'm in my head, holding a baby does something
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to me. Oh yeah, the baby does nothing but spit
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: up on me and poop right right.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: But there is something there's.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: A wonder in that that child like state, that we
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: experienced something of God. And that's why Jesus repeatedly pointed
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: us towards it. Yeah, I want you to, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: and I just I don't know, man, there's a.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that childish to me. I think about
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: when I think about childishness in my job, I think
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: about silliness, the ability to be because like, there's it's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: comedy that I enjoy, but it's very like, Oh, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: see what you did there. It's very clever. You really
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: worked hard on that, and that's very clever, but it
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't make me laugh. Sometimes what makes me laugh is
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: something that's very silly. I remember watching Adam Sandler Had
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to Come Back special, probably twenty twenty. I think it
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: was during the pandemic, might be twenty nineteen, but he
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: hadn't done stand up in a decade and was a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: big deal in the nineties and then dsenl and movies
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: and all that, but then came back to stand up.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: People were kind of concerned, like, here we go, is
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: it's going to be like rusty And it was so
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: juvenile and silly, and it made me laugh so hard.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It was such a refreshing, like visceral laugh watching that special.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: And that's what I think I had asked Tim Hawkins
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: at one time touring with him, I said, what's your
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: favorite I meant, like, what's your favorite age audience? What's
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: your favorite kind of audi? You like men's conferences with
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: women's conferences, you like youth events like he goes, He
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: didn't think of that at all. He goes, I like
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: an audience that can be silly with me, because that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: way I like him to be able to if they
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: laugh at something clever, great, But if they'll go silly
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: with you, you got him. And He's right, that's the best audience.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: The audience that's not too good to like unfold their
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: arms and like get in there with you.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: It's like that's the real stuff.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: But I think I think we do think we're older
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: than God or like almost like I think I see
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: God as cynical, like God knows everything, so therefore.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Well you're painting him in your image too.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And yeah, and it's what he told Adam and Eve
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: was like, listen, don't do this because you're gonna have
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: you're gonna start aging.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And I don't age. That's the thing. I was like,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: God doesn't age.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Think this through if he's eternal and there's no sin,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: what causes aging to the to moving towards death if
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: there's no sin in God, and that's that's what I
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: think Chesterton, And actually I think maybe that's what George
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: McDonald's talks about. If he's not gonna age, like he
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: gets to be eternally joyful and not think about this.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: This.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: This is so great for.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Everyone listening because I need to hear this from myself.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: He's not cynical about you. He's not looking at you
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: like you look at because you're right, we make it
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: in our own image. I question everything about me. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: question the way I come to him and whatever. And
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: every time he doesn't have that, he's like, here we
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: go again, because there's no sin in him. So when
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: I come to him, I can be accepted again, not
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: as he is, but as someone who's got the the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: youthful exuberance of relationship you know when you're young. But dude,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think you and I had a disagreement in
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: the first ten years.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I can't think of any I.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Mean since then, wow, wow, once a month, But like
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: you know, that's because I'm just excited that I got
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: this friend and we're just having fun, right, And I
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: think I don't have.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Fun like I should anymore.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, because again, I'm aging, and I think you can
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: come back to this though, and God, So anyway, come
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: come near to the place where the wonder is, and
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: don't roll your eyes at it. When I'm trying to
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: get for myself, I don't want to roll my eyes
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: at what's supposed to be fun and wondrous.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So anyway, there you go.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: That seems like a good segue for me to be silly.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Let's do old jokes. We call it joke about that John.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: A man is standing in a park repeatedly knocking his
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: forehead into the trunk of a tree. A policeman comes
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: up to him and says, what are you doing that for.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: The man says, to keep the lions away. The policeman says,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: are you crazy? There aren't any lions in these parts.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: The man says, you're welcome. John. Did you hear about
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the two guys who were arrested for stealing a calendar?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: They each got six months. I apologize that one was
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: that was close to it down. Joke that's got six months.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Tell that one's telling that one to say the other.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: See if her eyes roll so hard that they get
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: stuck in the back of her head, that's when you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Oh she do you make your daughter in? Does she
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: cringe at years? She doesn't think you're cool anymore. M well,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Halloween's Halloween's the last time you felt cool.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: No, she doesn't think I'm cool now.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: She cares about my opinion, okay, and she wants me
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: to like things that she likes, so I have that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: She'll bring me something. She'll bring me stuff, so.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: She thinks she's a little bit of a taste maker.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And she'll let me speak into her good text.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I'll be like, I don't know about that, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I'll talk about this, or I'll point out something to
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Michael Jackson song or whatever she's listening to. Oh yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: that's a good point. So she'll we interact. But no,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: she doesn't think I'm cool, which is crazy because I'm wake.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Why where is she getting this happening? That's crazy. By
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the way, I've got a scooter if you want to borrow.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: It looks so cool out there. John two brothers are
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: laid off from work and go to the unemployment office.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: The two of them apply for unemployment. First brothers asked
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: his occupation, to which he replies, I'm a panty stitcher.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I sew pantyhose for women. The clerk looks up his occupation,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: finds it to be unskilled, gives the brother three hundred
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: dollars a week for unemployment. The clerk asked the second
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: brother his occupation, and he says diesel fitter. He looks up,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: finds that to be skilled labor. The brother's given six
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars a week for employment. The first brother's angry
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: and says, it's not fair. My brother gets more money
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: than I do. Well, this job requires more skill, replies
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the clerk, what skill? I sew the panty hose and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: he holds him up and says, diesel fitter.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: That's that's a perfect that's a really good, great joke.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: That's great. It's one too that almost sounds like it's
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: gonna go dirty. And then you go, wait, wait something.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, and I was really trying to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: find the diesel fitter. Did not see that one.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I've never heard that one.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I didn't know what a diesel fitter was.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I know it sounds like a real job, though, diesel fitter.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, let's do this week in history, John
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: we call it talk about then John. The first voice
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: recording was this week eighteen seventy seven, Thomas Edison, this guy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah you'll hear though, Tom, we get it, Thomas, you too,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: So no, that's the thing. Every Thomas said the light
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: bulb was like kind of pre you know what I'm saying.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: There was some there's some stuff, you know. Him and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Nikola Tesla, Oh yeah, there's a lot of this little
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: thing where they're like, dude, I did this five years
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: ago and Edison this is exactly the same. Thomas Edison
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: records his recitation of Mary had a little lamb, and
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: then there's a note. It says, note. French inventor Edward
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Leon Scott de Martinville recorded sound seventeen years earlier. But
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: this is the wild part. His device could only record
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and had no way to play back the sound until
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. What yeah, okay, obviously, so he
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: recorded the sound seventeen years earlier.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: On some we didn't discover it till twousand and eight.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you we discovered that it had been captured, but
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: it could not be played back until two thousand and eight.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But he didn't know he captured it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Probably I don't know how he did it, because there's
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: some old version of pottery that has lines in it,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: like a record that they've discovered that has they've captured
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: sound in the lines of the pottery, and you can
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: put a needle on it and it has things, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: that's probably.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: What something voices from old time.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the recording was. I needed I
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: should have done more research, but it's wild that it
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: was seventeen years beforehand and then it didn't even couldn't
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: be played, and we wild of what. I don't know
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: what it was. I guess we need to figure that out.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: We'll we'll have to put a pin in that. But
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in that funny though, it's like, wow, yeah, I recorded
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I did this seventeen years before you, but you can't
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we won't know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, pretty wild. And I'm not saying D's made
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: that we thought failed. You know, someday, Johnny.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Someday we're gonna figure out it turns out I'm a genius.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: You won't know. It'll twenty fifty two be long gone. Hopefully,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: hopefully I'll be long gone by twenty fifty two. When
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: will that be?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, funy way, it's like I'll be.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Eighty eighty seventy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Why would you want to be long gun by eighty?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just really want to be
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: running an eighty. I'm Jack Lalaine pulling a boat with
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: your teeth.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I'm going for a hundred, bro, are you yeah? With
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: my mind and body intact? That's the thing. Oh, I
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: want to be writing. Well, I think you're going to
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: be relying a lot on claw maybe a PhD. Claud
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Could you Claude go get my by then there'll be
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Claude robots. Fetch my claud robots in the next five years,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Claude bots.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, there they go.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: John. A record robbery took place this week nineteen sixty two.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: A mail truck. This is the craziest part. A mail
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: truck in Massachusetts's robbed of one point five million dollars
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: in cash. This is when they were like, you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: maybe we should put these in armored cards.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe they was supposedly like maybe they didn't want people
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: to know, and so they were like, just putting a
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: mail truck and we'll sneak it through. But somebody knew
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: one point five million in cash. Now this is sixty
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: two one point five million. Yeah, who knows what that'd
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: be worth today, we don't have the calculator out. Known
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: as the Great Plymouth Mail Truck Robbery, it was up
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to that time, the largest cash heist of all time.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Two gunmen, dressed as police officers and brandishing guns they
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: must have had some on the inside, stopped a US
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: mail truck that was delivering one point five million in
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: small bills from Cape cod to the Federal Reserve Bank
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: in Boston, Massachusetts. They tied up the driver and guard
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and drove off in the truck, stopping to drop off
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: money in various places. So they had a plan to
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: accounts stashed this money. This is the wild part. The
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: truck and its tied up occupants were later abandoned shortly
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: after the five year statute of Limitations was set to expire.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Four men and one woman were indicted for the robbery
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: after the sta It says shortly but no shortly before.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Shortly before the five year statue, four men and one
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: woman were indicted. So that's the equal opportunity heist there that. Yes,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: they included they had a woman in there. One of
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the defendants disappeared right before trial and was never found.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: The other defendants were acquitted at the trial. The money
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: has never been.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Recover because they couldn't find the money they stashed it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: So they basically got away with this. It's like DV. Cooper,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: but for real, because debe Cooper we think died in
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the plane because he jumped out of the plane. This
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: really they really did get away with the perfect crime
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: and they didn't hurt the people. So I mean, again,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: stealing is wrong. We're not trying to say stealing come wrong.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Who among us who hasn't tied up a guard here
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: and there.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: There's been some mail trucks I've chased down when I'm
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: trying to get a package, I'm like, I need that passport,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I need that MacBook. Now where's that truck? Did we
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: have a mission strip where somebody was waiting on a
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: passport the day of and they were like trying to
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: they were they were trailing the ups truck. Boston mobster
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Vincent Fat Vinnie Teresa claimed in his book My Life
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in the Mafia that John red Kelly planned the robbery. Wow,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: he'd do some more research on that, figure out how
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: they knew about the mail truck. There's all that, Yeah,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: you know there's probably some only inside John. This one's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: different because we're going forward this week in future. Oh,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: because this week in twenty one twenty six could be
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the end the world. Okay, I will be gone by that,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: the Swift I don't think so. I think you're gonna
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: be kicking around, buddy. Your mind is going to be
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: downloaded into the cloud somewhere. I'll be I'll be paying robot.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going say that he's gonna be paying like some ninety
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: nine dollars a month cloud storage for your consciousness, Like
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: she'd beize should we unsubscribe from this? I mean it
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: is my father, but this is ridiculous. I mean, I
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: gotta eat Claude.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: How Dad tell me a story again?
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The Swift tuttal comet approaches Earth this week twenty one
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: twenty six. During its nineteen ninety two approach to Earth,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: it's orbit was estimated to have a one in ten
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: thousand chance of colliding with Earth in the year twenty
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: one twenty six. If this were to occur, it would
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: end civilization. However, subsequent observations show that it will pass
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: near Earth in twenty one twenty six, but will not collide.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: It is believed that this comet was observed by the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Chinese in sixty nine BC and later in one eighty
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: eight AD Well, so could be it's a one in
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: whatever chance, but not not a non zero chance.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I was setting alarm.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Now, go ahead and set an alarm for August fourteenth,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty six and just you know, good luck
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: to us all. Yeah, and yeah, I don't know what
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: kind of world we're going to be living. And maybe
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: they'll be like just bring in.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, guys, just we just get this it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I remember bumper stickers for the twenty twenty election. There
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: was some that just said giant meteor twenty twenty. Amusing
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: and a little dark, but very amusing to me, John.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Finally this week. Dorothy McHugh was born in nineteen o seven,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: passed in nineteen ninety five. A nice long life for
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Dorothy mcew. Do you want to know what? Do you have?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Any I do? She was Q tip She would nick Hugh,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: hug h m mick the MQ tip do not insert
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: in ear canal, John. She was an American dancer. Okay,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I was way and ex Zigfried Follies Dnswer and she
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: appeared in a medical device commercial proclaiming I've fallen, oh
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: and I can't get up, for which she was paid
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? Sixty dollars? And I hope,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I hope that's not all she was paid.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Surely Dave Thomas did better than that later, maybe when
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: she blew.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Up Dave Thomas, what are you getting, Dave Thomas? I'm sorry,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I was doing the word you're thinking of Wendy's lady.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: We'd had her on too. That was Clara, somebody Clara
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Paun can't get up, pawn can't get up? Hey?
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Why not? Dave Thomas was very generous.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: That's true. Why wouldn't he help her out? To the
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Wendy's guys somehow gonna get involved a benefactor for Dorman.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: That's probably keeping my mind all the way to one hundred. Yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think going.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it was not. I think you're in the cloud now.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: But she was paid sixty I mean that's crazy like
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: commercial work. Like I've known some people who've done commercial
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: acting jobs and it actually pays decent. This they took
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: advantage of this old lady. Yeah, and she couldn't have
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: known that this is not just going to be the
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: most famous commercial of that year. But it's going to
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: be a meme like early meme, yeah, like whenever. Memes
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: weren't a thing yet, but it was basically a a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: past around. People would say it if you feil yeah,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: they would say John's following he can't get up.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: It made Life Alert that it was Life Alert.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom, we got Life Alert and it's the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: old one and it uses old technology, but it's still
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the only one that they'll talk to her through the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: necklace if she needed to.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: And that's why I got it. Was like she could
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: push a button and she had to wait on somebody
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: they'll talk to.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It's like a radio.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Well, she had invested her Zigfreed Folly's dancing money. She
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: also worked as an artist model in Post for illustrations
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: in the Saturday Evening Post. She acted in the film
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Artists and Models in nineteen thirty seven, starring Jack Minnie,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and was a model for the nineteen thirty nine New
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: York World's Fair. So she had some oka. She was
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: a well rounded but by the time she's fallen and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: can't get up for this commercial, she's older because that
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: was thirty nine. The last time she was Yeah, doing
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: movies and so she was hopefully she had but if
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: she did a commercial for sixty dollars, it's likely she
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: needed the money.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: So people pay actors.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Act actor. Listen. There's no small parts, only small actors.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I've always been telling Listen. Writer's right if
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: you write.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I mean again, I think that probably one of them,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: to me, most important books I ever write is the
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: one with a publishing company I won't get paid for
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: because it's a university press. Right. But you know, like
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: you you can't see it in terms of just monetary success,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: like there's.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: No there's thing. Yeah, there's things I've done. And even
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: in my career where I if I was to say like, okay,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: we're gonna if I only thought bottom line thinking all
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: the time, you have to pay the bills. But every
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: now and again you'll be like, I don't. I would
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: normally say no to this, and I'll send it to
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: my agent. I'll be like, let's make this happen. I
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: want to do it. It'll be something. It'll be some
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: small church, or it'll be some fundraiser for a that
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I really believe in, or you just have a feeling
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: about it. Sometimes you go I think we should do this. Yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: and then nine times out of ten when I do those,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I get it. You find out as
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: you step into the moment why you did it right.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like God protected you from saying no
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: to this thing and being like only a bottom line
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: oriented person. There's a time to be bottom line. You
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: can't starve. But I mean, come on, man, sure we're
• 40:25

  Speaker 3: don't want to say this because I you know, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: ain't making false empty promises, right. You know?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: We could put out some compilation episodes.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, we need to do that. We need
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: to do that to where we go through. Maybe Claude
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: will help, because John's a big Claude proponent.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Man, I wish he could.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Let's let's bring AI slop into this. That's all we need.

  Speaker 3: That's true, just type in make maybe I just yeah,
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I wonder if we each created no no our own
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: like you know, I use I use an AI.

  Speaker 1: It's not it's not Claude. It's called Speechify.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I use it to edit in that I'll it has
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: my voice and it will read a manuscript to me
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: in my voice, and I catch every mistake by doing
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: that's crazy, Oh wow, because I can watch it highlights
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: the words, but hearing it your own voice, visually seeing it,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: and then like it's crazy, it's it's it's nuts. What
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: if we you speechified and just fed a bunch of
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: stuff and had it do a podcast, you with your
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: voice meeting with me.
• 44:07
