  So the last time we spoke, we talked about the invasion of the woodchucks.
• 0:19
  I'm here to tell you that Dr. E is back. I'm back.
• 0:24
  And we have had one casualty,
• 0:30
  unexpected, wasn't intentional and one of the woodchucks has gone on to be with the Lord.
• 0:36
  I didn't mean to chuckle when I said it, but it's the reality of it.
• 0:40
  Have faith, let it begin.
• 0:41
  One down, four to go.
• 0:44
  And it starts right now.
• 0:49
  It's Monday and you know what that means. Welcome to Have Faith, let it begin.
• 0:56
  It's a podcast of inspiration, it's a podcast of hope, it's a podcast of faith,
• 1:03
  and it's a podcast of friendship.
• 1:06
  Here is your host, Angel Santana, and special co-host, Dr. E.
• 1:12
  We're a three-point line. That's it, man. Let's rock and roll in three, two, one.
• 1:19
  All right. Half-Faith Let It Begin is here. I don't want to sound like I'm being mean, but Dr.
• 1:23
  E, I caught a woodchuck and I don't know, man.
• 1:28
  It must've been a heatful day and he slept his night away.
• 1:34
  So let me ask the angel, because I think this is the second time that's happened
• 1:37
  that you had a casualty. Didn't the other woodchuck have a heart attack or something? Yes.
• 1:42
  And that was totally not my fault. I was at work.
• 1:45
  I gave up and he went into the trap. It was a hot, steamy day.
• 1:51
  And he just literally went and had a heart attack right on video.
• 1:54
  And I felt really bad about it. I will say that I did keep the tradition going. I gave him a name.
• 2:00
  His name was Hyper. That was my daughter who named him.
• 2:03
  And we gave him a respectful funeral and a respectful way to,
• 2:07
  you know, put him on to greater and greener pastures.
• 2:11
  Well, the good news is you didn't put like a stake in him and leave him hanging.
• 2:16
  You know, so it's not like it was a, you know, a Vietnam movie where,
• 2:20
  you know, you were being disrespectful or putting a playing card on its corpse
• 2:25
  and waiting for the mother and father to find the body.
• 2:28
  The other one that you had actually brought to its eternal rest was actually a mean sucker.
• 2:35
  Was this one a mean sucker or was this one? No, no. I think this one was polite,
• 2:40
  but I will tell you this. The mother showed up.
• 2:43
  No. and yeah and and and she's a
• 2:46
  she's a big big girl and i will tell you we made
• 2:49
  i you know that those old westerns when i'll probably put it
• 2:52
  into this episode i'll find the i'll find
• 2:55
  the audio you know that when they look at each other and they get that yeah yeah
• 2:59
  yeah yeah it was eye eye to eye contact and i could swear that mother was saying
• 3:04
  you know what it's on because then she just started to make holes everywhere
• 3:08
  i went to the hardware store i picked up about four bags of cement and And I
• 3:14
  have cemented now almost every hole to imagine.
• 3:18
  And sure enough, this morning...
• 3:20
  Four days later, I found another hole on the end of another shed. She does not stop.
• 3:28
  They're coming for me, man. So I wanted to get this on audio because if something
• 3:33
  happens to me, we all know who did it. Well, what did Ariel name the mother?
• 3:38
  Nothing yet. We've named the one that passed on Hyper.
• 3:41
  So now it's going to be our new thing. We're just going to name them.
• 3:44
  And yeah, I don't know. But there's a message here.
• 3:48
  I can't wait to hear it. The message is this, you know, I, I,
• 3:53
  I, I learned how to forgive. I moved forward.
• 3:57
  I, unfortunately we can't control what free will will do to us.
• 4:02
  We can't control what other people choose to do.
• 4:06
  And this woodchuck decided, Hey, I'm going to check out this trap.
• 4:09
  It looks pretty interesting.
• 4:10
  And whammo, we caught her. I tried to release, but it was too late,
• 4:15
  you know, and I apologize to all the woodchucks out there.
• 4:18
  Please don't come after me. But yeah, just learn to forgive,
• 4:21
  move forward. Angel, I think this hyper deserves a prayer.
• 4:25
  Why don't you meet us in prayer?
• 4:28
  Heavenly Father, we thank you for a beautiful day this morning here in the Northeast.
• 4:33
  It rained. The sun came out. I can't believe the sun came out.
• 4:36
  We don't even know what the sun looks like half the time, but it's a new day.
• 4:40
  And the sun will come out tomorrow, as Annie would say. We pray and hope that
• 4:45
  the Woodchuck family learns to forgive me and moves forward.
• 4:48
  And we hope that each and every one of you learns a lesson.
• 4:51
  And it's not always so much about you and an animal that can maybe take you off.
• 4:55
  We have family members that do the same, but that doesn't mean we have to trap
• 4:59
  them and put them to green pastures.
• 5:01
  We just have to learn to forgive and then move forward.
• 5:04
  For all of us here at Have Faith, Let It Begin, and the saga of the woodchucks,
• 5:08
  we'll continue to keep you posted and find out what's coming up.
• 5:11
  But we enjoy it and we love to entertain you. and on behalf of Dr. E, never forget.
• 5:17
  Have faith, let it begin, baby. Take care.
• 5:25
  Music.
