  Speaker 4: on the side on either side.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's like you know what, I'm going

  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Uh. I'm sure you were thinking about that. You were
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: talking about that feeling of knowing what was about to happen.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: That's a really bad feeling.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just go I'm out of control. I'm on
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the ground. It was not like enough time to do.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Anything about it, just happening.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I was, Uh, for some reason,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I get because I bought those scooters on Amazon. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: bought four of them, so I have four of them
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: in my garage. Now, if anybody wants some scooters, because
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: my wife now is terrified.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: If you thought about suing Amazon, you know.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: What, that's a great idea. Not a sponsor, yeah, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: never a sponsor now.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: But uh, because I bought those scooters, I still get ads.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You can go back to the logo this is a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: lot just creeping people out.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Anyway, you have to watch the video on YouTube, yeah
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: dot com. If you want to talk about that, go
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to the talk about that channel. If you want to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: see the Yeah, I guess we could drop it in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a clip or something. But anyway, because I bought those
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: on Amazon, I get all these programs. But you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you're in the algorithms, so they still target me with
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: these scooters. I'm like, hey, buddy, I'm not your customer anymore.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not the guy. First of all, I have four. Yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: so I think I'm done. I caught my limit.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but beyond that, I'm not your guy.

  Speaker 3: of our fine sponsors.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: And we're back?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: What How do you tailor your set for.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: The You really don't.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I mean the only thing I go is like, don't
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: ask I do two things differently, three things. One still,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I don't pull the audience. You dye your hair, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: dye my hair just for men. Comes out, No, I say,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I don't pull the audience. So if you have questions,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: if you have question kind of setups where you go
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: who's married? Or you don't say that obviously, but you
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: don't even say anything. Don't say like who has dogs? Yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: where's fly? In a room of mixed I go, we
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: have dog people in the crowd. Then I go into
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: dog material sometimes. Yeah, you never do that with youth
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: because they love talking about themselves and they'll go on
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: for three minutes.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I've got a dog. His name is Lucky, blah blah blah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: So you don't do that. I am.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I go a little zanier, I don't do I do
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: more act outs on a little zanier. I'm a little
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: more active on stage, and I do more gross like
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: every every gross joke. There's a couple of jokes I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: do in youth that I would not do anywhere else,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: just because they're kind.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Of yet everything do they get like sweet and low?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they tend to.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Uh. Everything was landing that I was choosing to do,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: but I was making really decisive choices. I was being
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: surgical with my set list. As I was in my head,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, this will be different here. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: won't do that that way.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: But one thing I've heard to do with youth that
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: really works is and this sounds like a knock on generations,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: but my buddy says, get somebody on the stage because
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: they love part of the show. And I was like,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want that. I'm not willing to do that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: So that's the only thing I've not done is like
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: bring them up and like what's your name, and then
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: like make some jokes with them involved. And that's true,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Like if you get something and that's their peers down there,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: they'll laugh harder because it's like that's Joe and he's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: our quarterback or whatever. That's great, But I just don't.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a it's like a bomb. I don't
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: know what's going to happen.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy, this whole thing. I'm having a
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: little bit of a outside of my body experience also
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: known as an out of body experience.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Outside my body experience. John's a theoretical physicist.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: But like I'm sitting here asking you what it's like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to talk to youth.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Right, I would speak to a gym full of kids. Yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: like it was nothing. You know what I'm saying.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I think you can do it now. No, yeah you could.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I don't think.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Oh it would come back, babe, that would come right back.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: You've got this baby, you swing. Here's what you do.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: You just don't show fear. That's the main thing it is.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: The main thing is confidence. And that's really what comedy is.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Comedy is Bill Hicks used to say. The late great
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Bill Hicks used to say, don't ask them if it's funny.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: You tell them it's funny. Yeah, and you don't. That's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: your attitude is what you guys. Don't literally do that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, your attitude. That was funny. Yeah yeah, yeah. I
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: don't like comedians that do that. They go, you're not
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: laughing as hard as I'm joking, not shouting loud as
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: you must not.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't blame the audience, but I'm
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: saying your confidence level tells them, oh, this guy knows
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: what he's doing.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: We feel safe, he's driving the bus.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That's what you would be the problem with most things
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: So I told you that I got I was.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: You spoke on Sunday. You're great, confident, you did great.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: So I was talking to a pH d tutor. Yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: in in Europe. Yeah, and he was like, hey, he
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: was like, I really like you as a person, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I like it. He goes, but some of your humble
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: stuff you're gonna have to down. You're going to dial
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: that back in these applications if you want to.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Get because you're getting qualifying statement.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, I may not be an ex. He's like, no,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you tell them you are an ex.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, you tell them that you are going well.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You are an expert in some things, and that's true.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: You have a lot of experience in certain things and
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it's okay to say I'm an expert.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I don't like doing that because then I'll be held
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's the fear, like what if I right? Yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: but I mean I'm an expert at this next segment.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's my segment.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: And it's never gone wrong.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's what we call They talked about that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Great segue.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: How do we both went base?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, base.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Ezekiel Hopkins sixteen thirty three.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: With a name like Ezekiel, I'm going to get sixteen hundreds.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little So this is one of those
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: if you guys become quote people and everyone acts like
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: it's easy, right, but the.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Deal is to really you think these people know and
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: they're saying something like this is going to be quoted,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Like that's what I've always wondered, Like its At some
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: point Mark Twain knew the people are writing this down.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's a good one.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Well, if you're writing it, yeah, right, if it's going
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: into a published work, then you hope right and be quoted.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: But but yeah, Twain for sure he lived for that stuff.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Zeko Hopkins. Though it's again it's clunky because
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: when you look for quotes, you find these perfect quotes,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and then when you really start to search them, they go,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: that's been rewritten for modern ears, but that's not the original.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: So I can't do that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be that Johnny, So I want
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I want to, And we'll put it into our own
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: will help then explain it if need be. But oh boy,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: for we must know God hath commanded us to pray,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: not that he might be excited and moved by hearing
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the voice of our cries and prayer to give unto
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: us those mercies and blessings which he himself was not
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: resolved beforehand to bestow upon us, but that we ourselves
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: might be fitted and prepared to receive from him what
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: he is always ready and willing to confer upon us.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: So like the original quote, as they kind of put
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: into modern words, is more like we don't pray as
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: if God wasn't going to do this already. Like that
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: he's withholding, he's thinking, you know what, I didn't really right,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I hadn't really thought about doing that good thing for you,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: you know. But more that prayer is a preparation of
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: what He's going to do. And I think it was
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: such a fascinating sort of concept. And I met with
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: a guy this morning. We were talking about this, like
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: he had he had a kind of year that I
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: had in like twenty seventeen and eighteen when my dad died,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: When then I went through a lawsuit, I went through
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: just all these different things, And just when you think
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: you can't get humbled more, you get humbled more, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: you find yourself depending upon God in a way you
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: never have before. But it doesn't feel good, Like everyone
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: would say, it's not like this. Ah, you know, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: maybe someone else walks in better peace than I do.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: I would dare say almost everybody else probably works walks
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: in a better peace than I do.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Not true, John, you're very peaceful.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, everyone knows. But this idea though, that what
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I'm going to God for is the process of it
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: is actually changing and preparing and forming me. So while
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I'm asking for outcomes, what he's doing is in the asking,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: he's giving me the outcome he desires for my own transformation,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: as opposed to just the thing I need in this moment.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: So the thing may be the answer may be yes,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: but the act of prayer wasn't because he didn't get
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: that already the act of prayer was my dependency right,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: or my humility or my willingness to keep coming back
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: though he's not answered in the way I wanted. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I think a lot about Jesus talking about asking and
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: seeking and knocking, and that whole persistent widow parable is
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: a really like it. It gets caught in my crawl
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: a little bit, as we'd say in the South.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Like like this this why like why why would Jesus
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: say that prayer?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: He's using this example of prayer as this, this widow
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: who's being mistreated just continually knocks on the door of
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the judge's house. And he's a wicked king or judge
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: I can't remember, for it's a judge a king. But
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: and he's like, I don't fear God or people, but
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: this persistent person is really annoying me, so therefore I'm
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: going to give. And then Jesus juxtaposes that and says, well,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: imagine if that's what the wicked will do, what how
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: good your father is? But still the point of it
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: is persistence and patience and having it because it takes faith.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: It's like an active faith to continue to knock and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: seek and ask and when you're not getting what you're knocking,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: you know, and seeking and asking for. Then you begin
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: to wonder, I think, and I think that's probably Jesus's
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: point to falcking myself into it, that you begin to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: question the character of the person behind the door. Yeah right,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: What could possibly be your point for this good thing
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: that I'm obviously desperately in need of for my family
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: or for myself or for someone else. What is the
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: reason that you're withholding? And we don't get that answer.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: We don't get the answer of God saying the reason
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I withheld was And I think we love the idea
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: that well, someday you look back and then you can
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: see why, And guys, sometimes you can and then sometimes
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: you just can't. But that the act is faith and action,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: like it's actually to come back again and to feel
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: foolish and to feel frustrated, but to say, yet again,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to knock and ask and seek you have.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe it could be years you've not answered this in
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: the way I've done it, But I'm going to keep going.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I think that Jesus even and say to you, by
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: the way is reading. He's very creative in artsy and
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: so like she gets these journaling Bibles. She's got a
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: ton of them, and the kid just flies through. I
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: mean she'll write and an entire everything in the margin
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: is written, and everything is highlighted, and she color codes.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: She's gone through Mark, Matthew, and John in the last
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: like three or four weeks, like the whole books she's journaling.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: And she asked me that the day she goes, you know, Dad,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: what is this whole thing about the Jesus saying it's
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: not good to give the children's food to the dogs
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: when the Samaritan woman comes and asks you for help?
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: And I talked about like, well, I mean, you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: the Jewish people considered the Samaritans even worse than Gentiles.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: And so he's, I believe, acknowledging this tension between them,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the cultural tension, and he's using the language that she
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: would expect the Jewish people to use. But I personally
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: don't think that's what he was saying. I think he
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: was allowing her to be more persistent. He was not
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: testing her faith, but inviting it, because she could have
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: just been offended. Well you're like all the rest, but
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: she chose to believe his character. She was like, yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: but even the little dogs get the crumbs from the
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: master's table, meaning like I believe you're different than the rest,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: and that he says, I've not seen faith like this
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: in all of Israel. He ends up rewarding her not
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: only with a yes, but also with praise about her
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: willingness to be persistent. And so, I don't know. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: just I encourage myself, hopefully and everybody else to day
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: like man, I mean, it's really easy to see prayer
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: in outcome terms only as opposed to you don't know
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: what the act of doing that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Right, you're being formed?
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think about Mother Teresa.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: She had this quote one time that I read, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it was about her late late in life. She did
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: an interview and they said she said her prayer life.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: She said, I mostly just listen to God. And she said, well,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: what do you think he does? And she goes, he listens.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I thought that was such a fascinating.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Interesting, I mean, I don't think I think there's sometimes
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: to ask, but I think it's interesting that contemplation has
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: really gone from modern society, right, be it social media, whatever,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: we just need it's like this, we have to report,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: we have to have an opinion. We have to have
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a take, we have to have a thing, and so
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: this idea of contemplation is missing. And spirituality gives you
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: that time to just sit in silence and be and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I think that that's something that's holy and good and worthwhile. Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: it is old Ezekiel, old Ezekiel Hopkins. He was a oldie,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: but a goodie. You're either from the sixteen hundreds or
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: you're the original Ezekiel. Basically, that's what I would say.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Are people naming kids, is Echiel anymore? We gotta bring
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that thing back.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Zeke Well there's yeah, there's Zeke's out there.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Who is the running back for the.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott. There you go, Yeah, he's the Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: So there's probably a lot of people the name in
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: their kid after him too. It's like a Peyton yeah
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: type situation.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of Peytons.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of Peytons and NaN's.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: And yeah, what the it was the other u t
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Peyton Kneeling And.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: There's Barns Fulmer.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I don't see there was another name that I've heard
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: that's the first name that Yeah, but Peyton and'nelon and yeah,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Heath and Heath Shuler.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: He was, Yeah, he got drafted number one man.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: No, I love Heath. He's a Tennessee legend, but not
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: an NFL.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. He didn't do as well with the Redskins.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, poor guy John.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Lets do my single was let's start with old jokes.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: We call it joke about that John. A baby is born,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: but he doesn't have a body. It's a true story.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: No.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: They called him Steve, and Stephen was a happy child,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and he lived a normal life as you as he
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: could under these circumstances. Finally, when he reached twenty one,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: his dad said, come on, son, we're gonna have a
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: drink and celebrate your birthday. He put the head on
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the counter, and you ordered two pints again as he said, cheers,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and he poured a sip into his son's mouth. To
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: everyone's surprise, a neck and shoulders pop out like balloons.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: With tears of joy that the da had give him
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: another sip and pop, two arms came out of the shoulders.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: The dad gave him a third sip.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Pop.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: He grew a torso and on and on until he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: got legs and such. They had to get him out
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: of there. To get him some clothes because he never
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: had any before. His dad helped him to the door
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: because he was unsteady on his feet. After all, the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Guinness stumbles into the street gets hit by a car,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: instantly killing him. The bartender said, poor guy, he should
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: have just quit.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: While he was ahead.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: John, that's a that's yeah, I feel like you'd get
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a groan.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with that, John.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: One day, Einstein has to speak at an important science conference.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: On the way there, he tells his driver that looks
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: a bit like him. I seeing, I'm gonna go with
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: my Einstein person. I'm seek of all these conferences. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: always say the same thing over and over and over.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: The driver agrees, you're right. As your driver, I attended
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: all of them, and even though I don't know anything
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: about science, I could probably give the conference in your place.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea, says Einstein. Let's switch places. In
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: so they switch clothes, and as soon as they arrive,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: the car driver attends it. But in the crowd, there's
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: be able to respond. So this guy stands up interrupts
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the conference by posing his a very difficult question. The
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: The driver looks at him dead in the eye says, sir,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: your question is so easy.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Set. I'm going to let my driver answer. Oh, that's
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: a true story that didn't happen. Probably not a true story.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Let's do this week in history. We call it talk
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: about then talk about Sam. Better do John. This week
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four, The Terminator arrives. According to the nineteen
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: eighty four action classic movie The Terminator, he arrived back
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty four from the year twenty twenty nine
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: on this week to kill Sarah Connor to prevent her
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: son from saving humans from machines in a post apocalyptic
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: or popular pop pop sorry my mouth is still healing
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: post apocalyptic future twenty twenty nine, and that's we're coming
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: upon twenty twenty nine, which is supposed to be when
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the machines take over, which we could make I can
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: make a case. We can make a case that Skynet
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: is here, my friends. Yeah, the movie starred Arnold Schwarzenegger
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: as you know, as the Terminator. Did you know who
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: was originally suggested for the terminator role?
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Still one?
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Bruce will if I gave you a thousand, yes, okay? O.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: J Simpson come on, this was you know, this is
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four interesting? You know Heisman, dude? Yeah, he
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: was in you know whatever. Director James Cameron did not
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: feel Simpson would be believable.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: As a killer.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, are we still in the joke segment?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you Sebster. Salon m.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Mel Gibson also turned down the role, so you were close.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger was originally wanted for the role of Kyle Reese,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the human soldier sent from twenty twenty nine to rescue
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Sarah Connor, but Cameron thought Schwarzenegger would make a better terminator.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger speaks fewer than one hundred words in the film.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's a good payday for one hundred words.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. John.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: This Week nineteen eighty one, Pope John Paul the Second
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: was shot escape Turkish terrorist Mamet ali Achaz shoots Pope
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: John Paul the Second in Saint Peter Square at Vatican City.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: The Pope was struck four times. The man was apprehended
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and later sentenced to life in prison, but the Pope forget,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: gave him and was pardoned by Italian President Carlo Azeglio
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Siumpy Chumpy at the Pope's request, and then deported a
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Turkey in two thousand, where he served a ten year sentence.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: The reason that makes the list is because one of
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: my favorite artists I got named Steve Taylor. Yeah, in
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: the eighties, he had a song on one of his
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: records called to Forgive, Oh will we live to Forgive?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And he talked in one of his interviews about that song.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: He wrote it after seeing a photo, a very famous
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: photo of Pope John Paul the Second in prison forgiving
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the man who had shot him and tried to assassinate him,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: and he was so moved by that photo.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Did the guy accept his forgiveness someone?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm trying to think one of the claims,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: let's see, yeah, I hired him for He made conflicting
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: claims about who hired him for the assassination attempt. One
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: of the claims was that Russian government hired him because
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: of the Pope's involvement in Polish solidarity. Others claimed that
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: he had hired him, including Cardinal A Gastino Cassoli and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the Iatola Komany. So they were never really figured out
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: who had hired the guy. He had conflicting Yeah, so
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: who knows who what the real story was.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: He was the guy.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: But the Pope did the Christian thing and forgave the guy,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: which is.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Pretty Are you sure that's still the Christian thing to do?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I think so, I don't know.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Forgive our enemies.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I think we're gonna think we're.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Going to own them. Own your enemies, is what I think.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Jesus said. Sorry, I'm getting on a soapbox.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Why don't you, Pope box, come on this thing?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And that's our show.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: A couple more John On This Week nineteen ninety two,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: While on a walk across America to prove that people
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: are basically good, Fred Turner is robbed and pushed off
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a bridge. Oh dear, that's a truth that really happened.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: This was early on in his walk. He was what happened,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and I looked it up because this is that's all
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: it said in the little This Week in History thing
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I gotta know more about this.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety two, Fred Turner walked across America to prove
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: most people are good after It was a five months
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: journey from South Carolina to California, inspired by his truck
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: breaking down. This is almost like a forest gump thing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Had to be the inspiration of the forest gump thing
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: where he just decides to just take off running and
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: he just I just kept on run, okay. Despite being
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: robbed and pushed over a bridge early on, he continued
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the track to California, meeting supportive people along the way.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: His motivation is to didn't die. He did not die.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: He turned the misfortune into a cross country trip after
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: his truck broke down in South Carolina. He aimed to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: prove a personal philosophy that ninety nine percent of people
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: are good. Despite a violent encounter early after beginning his trip,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: he was robbed and pushed over a bridge, yet continued
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the walk. He finished the walk in Carlsback, California, in
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: October of nineteen ninety two, often recognized by his red suspenders.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: So that makes me think that's where the forest gump things.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: If you remember a forest gump pad of the hat,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and I think he did he have suspenders. I can't remember,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: but there was.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: A there was a motif.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: I wore many outfits in those scenes.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, certainly the red hat I liked.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I liked the idea of the walk and but yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and he even while challenged his belief in people was
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: challenged early on, he was like, you know what, not
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: giving up?
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I think we should walk across something. Yeah, it'd be fun.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: We could talk a lot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: We could talk walk about that, walk about that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Come on, y'all. Please don't push us over a bridge
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and rob us.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: John, you do I'm stopping, Yeah, going, that's right.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going back home.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be I don't have my will power
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: that young Fred Turner had my truck breaks.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Down, I'm probably going home.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going home.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: No, we could just walk. I'd be like, hey, I
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: got triple A. What if we gave up? John?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: That's always an option. John this Week finally born this
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: week nineteen fifty One of the greatest musical artists of
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: all time, possibly the greatest musical artists of all time,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder. He was an American Grammy and Oscar winning
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Hall of fame singer blind since shortly after. He was
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: a child prodigy who signed with Motown when he was
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: just eleven years old. Isn't that crazy? Well, I think
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: he was called Little Stevie Wonder. Then, when he was thirteen,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: his single Fingertips made number one on the Billboard Hot
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: one hundred, making him the youngest artist ever to top
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the chart. He was one of the best selling musical
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: artists of all time, having sold over one hundred million records.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Cool I didn't know this.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: His blind was a result of being born six weeks
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: premature and placed in an oxygen rich hospital incubator, which
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: caused the growth of his eyes to stop, resulting in
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: detached retinas. You know, there's this, there's a big, you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: know whatever conspiracy that he's not really blind, because there's
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: been a few instances where like a mike'stand starts to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: fall over when he reaches out. Some people think he
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: can see shapes and shadows and things, but he's got
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: if he's got attached retinas, he sees nothing. Because I
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: looked it up, if you have to attach retinas. So
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: it could be that he just hears. He hears it
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: so well that he's like that's falling and he reaches
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: out to kind of steady it. Yeah, but uh, Stevie Wonder,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I mean I think, for my money, Aretha and Stevie. Yeah,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: there's nobody better. Michael Jackson maybe, but you could make
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: a case. But like Stevie Wonder, you hear that voice,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You're immediately it's transfixing. It's unbelievable. Yeah, it's so clean
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: and smooth, yeah, and soulful. I mean it's so good.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Talented dude, man. Yeah, yeah, my ant goes off to
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: like the people who style him and dress him because
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: it's like, does he have input? I just wonder, like,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you look great, Stevie. I mean there's a lot of
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: trust there. Oh yeah, there's a lot of true you know.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I would imagine when he started his
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: career was less concerned, but you know, as as rock
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: stars continued to grow, right at, the image became more
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: and more.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It's just, man, there's a a lot of trust going.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: You look at those old stars like country stars and
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: stuff back in the twenties and thirties, I mean they
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: can look as haggard.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the whole point.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to look like the common man, that
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: was the kind of music you're making now, it's like, yeah,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: it's a visual medium.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Everything's visual and yeah, I don't know.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going for the whole common man thing.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you, John, And it's you're a nailing it, I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: tell you. Too common almost some.
• 36:02
