  Speaker 2: tell you how both President Bush's had embarrassing moments exactly
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: ten years apart. Well, it's a conversation about not losing

• 0:24
  Speaker 2: of trusting God. Today's episode is not sponsored by door Dash.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: This burger is cold, but at least it also cost

  Speaker 2: fifty seven dollars. But first or from our actual sponsor.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Well, Happy New Year. It's John and Johnny talk about
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that twenty twenty six. Guys, we're just rolling along like
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we just don't stop here. This is gonna be our year.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You think, no, do you have like a word of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: He told me your word last time, and I've already
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: forgotten it. Hold on a second. It was a constitutionality,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: was it was route right, rule of law, due process.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I could think of all kinds of words. It was
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a contentment.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's good too. Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: know how constitutional it is. Yeah, we could do we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: could have some funny stuff if we made. If you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and I had time, we'd make all kinds of creative,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: funny things. But one would be choosing a word of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the year for all kinds of different things, like it's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in society.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Or like using your word of the year as a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: weapon against somebody else in your relationship. I'm just getting
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a real word of the year, and it's timeliness.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: You're like looking at your wife as she gets ready.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's passive aggressive, it's don't be around toxic people. Yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like this year, I really want to remove
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: toxic people who extract energy. A lot of people are
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a drain on me, and I just want to get
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people I've been with for years. You're like, I'm the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: only one you're ever around. Yeah, there's just some people
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to It's why we were listening. We
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: were coming home from volleyball last night and said, he
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: has a podcast she listens to, Okay, and so she
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lets me listen with her, which is a great honor.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You know, he's seventeen year I'm sure she's her whole
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: world there and I don't know the name of it. Really,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you're such a great listener. You're just the best dad.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Because I can't really see. I could just see on
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the Apple stupid. I don't know, but it's this. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: know it's a female. She's just in her picture. There's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not a lot of clothes. Oh no, but she's young. Okay,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: But I really like a lot of the stuff she's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: saying is very it's very pop culture therapy kind of thing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It's very believe in yourself and don't let people run
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: over you. But if you were listen all the way through,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like she talks about God some and I mean she
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: may cuss of mind as well, just like us, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: She's talking about at least with the pop culture therapy stuff.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Is she talking about accountability as well she does? Or
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is it just like everyone's a problem being.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: On the episode last night got a little bit don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: let talks that people run over you kind of thing,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And so afterwards I was like, maybe just give without me,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: just give some context. Let's talk about in a real relationship,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you know, because words like toxic in words like boundaries
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and things can be really used as if no one's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ever allowed to have a fault around you, right, it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: kind of de humanizing, right, so like I know why,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and I think in the extremes of abuse or other things,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you know, but even the word abuse, she used that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a lot. It was like, okay, let's talk about what
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: really constitutes abuse the relationship. It's not just your uncomfortable
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: or even you have constant friction necessarily you know, someone
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not listening well or whatever, like before you throw that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: term on there, I can't tell you what that term
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is necessarily for you. But we've kind of come to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the place where we can use those terms because we
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: say I get to decide for me. Then now we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: don't have a standard, yeah, which which if you're an
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: actual theory circles, there's usually a standard for that. They
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: would go, yeah, we wouldn't classify that ash or doesn't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: fall into our book of It's like burned.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You would if you go to like somebody, you say, like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I've burned my hand, Like burns have degrees, right that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we've decided our degrees, right, you don't get to say, like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but it feels like a third degree burned. They go,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it's not a third degree burn though, yeah, but it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: feels for me. It is for me it's a third
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: degree burn. You goes, this isn't this is an abrasion.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: That best. Well it was interesting though, I mean, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I also like that she's listening to something because she
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I want my kid to have.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not just she's always so it's just like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: an entertainment hole. It's just like a whatever, yeah, something
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: just to clock out. She's thinking about her thoughts.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: That's okay. One one episode she was like, hey, listen,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'll have these friends who, you know, act like they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to be their parents anymore. Their parents are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the worst. I'm always like, you need to still listen
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to your parents, like you're you know, like, come on, man,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: hold on. You know I've been paying this lady. Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: come on, it will send you a hundred bucks if
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you'll say this until the podcast. But I don't know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but my word of the year, I don't know
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: what it would be. I'm trying to think. I don't
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: really set resolutions anymore, and I probably should because I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: think it shows we throw it out, you know, you
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: throw out the whole thing. You go like, oh, it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: just something you're going to give up on, and people
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: do it and they freak out and they and but
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: there is something to it, like setting a goal or
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: saying like I'm going to challenge myself this way this year.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I need to read more. Probably, Yeah, it's I just
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: learned to read with anything at all. Really, It's very
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: like I think we used to quote many years ago
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in the podcast about some guy who doesn't set yearly
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: resolutions but set sets daily resolutions. You know, Oh is
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, so that's an interesting idea of a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: daily we should be setting more. But I actually am.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not anti resolution. You know, I've been through what
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I've been pastoring twenty something twenty five years now, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: there comes a place where at first you're doing all
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: these New Year's resolution type sermons, and then you get
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: skeptical because you've done it so long, and then you're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: kind of poopooing all of it right, and then I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: kind of I've been to the cycle. Now are going, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: there's a benefit now you're back. There's a time in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: life right where it's beneficial to or even a time
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in the year it's beneficial to recognize.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like taking stock of yourself. Yeah, is always good. Probably,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: But I will say to this and We talked about
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the therapy thing earlier, but there was a clip where
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a guy talked about how like therapy, language and people
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: are in all this therapy, but are we better off
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: for it?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And then somebody was making the point of like, is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it healthy to spend this much time thinking about yourself? Yeah?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And I think that's why I like, if we just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: make a therapy is like a recovery thing of like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I need to heal from this or I need to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: maintain my mental health by going to therapy.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But if it becomes just like.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: In other words, it becomes so normalized as just like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: well everybody goes to therapy and it's just this thing
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: where like we pay a person to listen to us
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: talk about ourselves for an hour. And if it just
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: becomes that like this exercise is just like vomiting out
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: your ID on somethe I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Prefer a mix because there's two different fields here. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: prefer a mix of therapy and coaching for that very reason. Right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna like you have some accountability building. They're
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, maybe you should try to do this differently,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: because often therapists won't tell you.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I know my brother talked about that, like
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: he has a counselor, and he said, he'll go, like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: but what what should I do?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And they'll go, I don't really do that. Yeah, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: he really frustrates him. It's hard, yeah, and he'll go.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: But at some point, I think at some point the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: guy was like, yeah, I would do this, Like he
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: gave up. He finally was like, you should do this.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'll tell my therapists, but like, look, you know, if
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you see me doing something totally crazy or off, like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I need you to speak up, they'll just listen to me,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like tell me you know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Well, and sometimes that's what you're paying for, right if
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you go to a therapist, aren't you sort of paying
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for that? And maybe the therapist sense is this you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: paying for that blame shifting of like well.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You told me that's why. Well, they also want you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to own your own life, yeah, and not and to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be heard. But I'm the kind of guy and it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: so funny and I'm not. I don't like the stereotype
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: male and female because I don't think that this is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: true for all male all females, but for me, if
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm in a place where I rarely just want to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be heard, right, I don't just want to be heard.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: If you have an answer, give me the answer, Please
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: fix me, fix me if you if you know how
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that's a very enneagram six thing more than it is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a male thing, probably, But you hear all that, even
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: if you watch television where it's I just I just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: didn't want you to. It's the nail on the head video, right,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: She's got a nail in her head, and I don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you always want to fix it. I don't want to,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you know, And he's like, dude, just take the nip. No,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, well that must be really hard, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: like I am. It's I don't want that, Like I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: would prefer for you to say, there's a nail in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: your head and please help me know how to take
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it out. But so when we were watching some tailor
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: share Taylor share it and show no a sponsor and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one of the characters they're in a romantic but she's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: an attorney. She's getting on a plane. She's all upset
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: because her love interest said some really hard things too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine a Taylor's hair love interest said something
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: her full heart field.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Probably another guy gets on and goes, what's wrong, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and she goes, well, truthfully, what he said was true.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It was hard and he goes, yeah, the truth. That's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a way of doing that, right. So the love interest
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: is in the back of the plane. They're they're you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: separated from each other, and she's just up here stewing
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: on the fact that what he said was true. And
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I turned to lor and I go, I don't get that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Like the moment for me that I someone tells me
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a hard truth, like I go, okay, well, now I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: know what to work on, Like I want to get
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I want to get start.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I never discarded, though, I mean, like that person's delusional
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: or that person's just saying that to hurt me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: You would never like, well, I think weigh it against
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: what you know. I think it was so evident to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: her it really was true, right. No, Yeah, some things
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I had to go, hey, I'll I'll come to you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and I'll go hey, you know, and you're like, yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the person that said there always the one. But no,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'll go to my wife all the time like, hey,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling this. Do you think that I'm in the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: wrong or right here? I need to know if I'm
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in the wrong, but the reason is not to go well,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: can't change that even if I can't, Like, there's a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: lot of things I think I can't change about myself.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But I want to be in I want to be
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on the path of going towards it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I want to be I don't know, I want to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: be on the path of least resistance. That's that's I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: think that's my phrase of the year, least resistance. Let's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: just let's just give into the malaise. I want to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: be funny, if you just decided to be mediocre for
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a year because you're like, I'm tired of all this trying.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna let myself go this year. Nobody ever
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: says that. Nobody ever starts channinguarys Like, you know.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: What I'm gonna call my my word of the year
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is fallow. Yeah, just let it all life, Yeah, all
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it's time. Sometimes you go at the ground heel yeah. Rest.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Like I watched this whole video in farming.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about this, but sometimes farmers plant different
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: crops year to year, and part of that's because you
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you weed out disease that way, because like if you
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: plant potatoes year after year, these weird certain things start
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to come in.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: See the potato famine in Ireland.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So what you do is you go potatoes and you
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: go like groundcover. You go totally different. You're not even
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: farming sometime that's going to be a vegetable. Now you're
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: gonna just do groundcover like monkey grass, and then you
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: come back and go, you know what, turnips And that's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: what I'm this is a monkey grass here for me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna gonna grow it all. I'm gonna
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: grow something that people plant around the pretty plants. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like I'm afraid at this age if I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: did that, I would not survive the year. Yeah, well
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: came like one hundred pounds, have a heart attack and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be like, well he was in his fallow year. Well,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: here's the thing.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Monkey grass is very slimming, so you just you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's like you hide behind a bulky sweater for that year,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Just I'm already doing that if I if I went,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: if I did it now at this stage, we're using.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: A slimming filter on John right now in this video,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: John's four hundred pounds.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, I've put on a few. No, you look great.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: To come on, feel I hope.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: That we kick to the sponsors now that it's something
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: like better Help or something.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Better help, or it's going to be like a diet
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a one screens.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to happen one day, we say it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: What if the AI starts making ads on the spot
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: from the things we just talked about? Are you ready
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: for your life to lie fallow for a year? Fallow
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: dot com and it just went and bought a website,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: created a product that really you're getting into your world
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: through the looking glass. Now I want to write some
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: sort of fictional futuristic thing like that when because I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: can think of all the things that could go wrong,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it probably make great fiction. I think you're right, that's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we can find a way truth is stranger than fiction.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Finally channel all this negative energy. But John, let's take
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a minute and here on a few of our find sponsors.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Cand we're back, John, I have an update for you. Okay,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So I have to tell the whole story.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I guess to get to the update, or I could
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: do the update first and then tell the backstory.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: What do you think is better? Since I don't know
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: what it is, you have to make that decision on
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: your own.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I want to tell a little bit of the story.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So we talked about this in October. October I had
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a crazy month. I did events back to back to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: back there and I stayed there a whole week. Well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: one of the events I did was a little comedy
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: club in Gallenburg, right and because we had added Comody
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Ballet Day Commoday. No, it was a New Jersey Hustle.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I was not Nude John Nude I.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Was going to say.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, no New Jersey because it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: this Jersey, just Jersey, not New Jersey, and definitely not
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Nude Jersey. That's a whole other club that I wouldn't
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not invited to, but Jersey Hustle Comedy Club. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: it's just this one hundred seater pizza place that has
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: comedy in the stage. I was there to do these
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: big Women of Joy and the senior adults conference was
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like seven or eight thousand people. So I was like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: let's go do this thing. I don't care and let's
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: see if I can. And we sold it out. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: we're there. Well, Alex Valudo, who's my buddy Greig comic,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he comes and opens the show. During his set, you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: can go listen to the old episode if you want
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the full breakdown.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But somebody had a medical event during his set and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: passed out, and they said aspirin, find baby aspirin, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I thought the guy died. I mean, I was like,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the show's over. This guy has died. He comes to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: after like forty five seconds of being non responsive and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: throws up, and then they clear the comedy club to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: clean him up and get an ambulance there. And then
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the comedy club goes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Comedy club guy comes over and he goes, we'll restart
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the show once we get everybody back in the room.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I go, we're not having a show. Nobody's coming back
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: in this room. Well they all came back. Yeah, ninety
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: nine out of that there's one hundred people. Ninety nine
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: people come back and and I was like, well, clearly
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: we don't leave the ninety nine.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: They go, I'll this mos I to say, one bottle
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of puke on the wall. I don't know it was,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: but so I was under this pre I was like,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: what do we do? And I still did not know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: They said, well, he was conscious when they took him away.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be okay. But we didn't know and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: now I have to go out and do this show. Well,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I go out and try to muddle through a show.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I sent Alex back out there to do like five
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: minutes to get them out of like funeral mode. Yeah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but it was a very weird thing because I was like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: this is me like doing jokes on the Titanic. If
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: this guy dies, and it's going to be in the paper,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: like they had to keep going with their dumb comedy show.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile a man's life hung in the balance. Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So I felt very weird about it, but I was like, Okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: we'll try. Because these people bought a ticket and they
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: all came back and you know whatever, we do. The
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: show shows and I get them back to laughing. I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes in. I'm doing fine. It's like a regular show.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've acknowledged the weirdness I had to, right
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and then I started getting heckled by a drunk guy.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I had to throw the drunk guy out. Yeah, I'm
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: sorry about that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So all that said, I have tried to find out
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: who this guy was who had the medical event to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: see if he's okay, and it's really grieved me.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, because he put a different name on the ticket.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: He put a nang on the ticket, Nacho, Lee Bray
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: whatever whatever his email was. Yeah, he just signs the
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: ticket with that, and so they I didn't know his name,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and I was like, hey, stopped being so if you're
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: gonna have a medical event to comedy show, maybe should
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have been so cheeky with your ticket name, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: come on, Nacho. So we've put out a search on
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the podcast. If you're Nacho, let me know you're okay.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So all that said, we still don't know it. This
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: was October, and I've kind of just been like, well,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: hope he was all right, and I keep hearing from
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: other people. No, I heard he was all right, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: do you know, No, we don't know. I get a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: comment on YouTube.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, come on one of my videos, come on.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And again this is someone who could be listening to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the podcast and decided to like generate a narrative like,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you know, this could be not real, but it feels
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: like they have a lot of details in this comic ark.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: This is just a comment. Okay, So I've not been
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: reached out to by email yet. I'm going to try
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to establish contact with this person. Nacho Lee Brave five
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: three six five, come on, says hey, Johnny, you had
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to follow my act in Gallenburg in October. My heart
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: stopped and I passed out on the floor. Don't know
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: how you get people laughing after a leading like that,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure you did. Never did get to see you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: But I did get a nice helicopter ride, So.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Sorry I stopped the show. I'm sure you can come
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: with a great skit out of that experience. Let me
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: let me just stop there.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: We haven't done skits in years, and people assume that,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: like you're going to when something horrible happens, that well,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: this will be great. Yeah, And you're like, it's been
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a story, we've told, We've told the story. I'm not
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: gonna make fun of a guy, especially if I don't
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: know if he's okay. I'm not a callous monster. Yeah,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a normal monster. I hope. I'm very sensitive monster.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like Frankenstein. But I don't throw the blind girl
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: in the lake.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I like, you know what I'm saying, right, I give
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: her like a nice Barett for her hair or something.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like, uh go, hey, don't touch the bolt, sweetie.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That hurts Anyway, the last part is hope to get
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the chance to see you for a whole show. Yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: And I immediately commented, dude, holy moly, Yeah, I'm so
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: glad you're all right. We've been talking about you forever.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about that moment since it happened. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I gave him like an email to try to reach
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: out to me because I don't know how to give
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: in because somebody else could read that email and be like,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: let's have some fun with Johnny, Like how do you
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: reach out to a person that you only know him
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: through a YouTube comment. We're in that era of technology
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: where it's like I still don't know.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: If it's great digital chasm, say, it feels like this
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: is the real guy.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: He had a lot of details. Yeah, but anyway, all
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that said, not show. I'm so glad you're okay if
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: that's you. And I'm trying to establish because I want
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to interview him for the show, like we're gonna have
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: him on the pod, Okay, I want to hear his side.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Of things, all right. I gotta know. Yeah, he's seen
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the seen some things. Yeah he was out. Yeah that's crazy.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So uh, anyway, that's a good update.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Because we needed I needed some closure there a little bit,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: because I've always kind of like, did I do the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: right thing? Because you know, obviously you get into this
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: line of work, the show must go on. It's like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a phrase, but like, come on, man, I don't want
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to be that guy that just know.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: It goes Well, look, no matter what the you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the wheels of my dumb jokes have to move on
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and trample over anybody. Like, I'm not that guy I want.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I wanted to stop the show that night because I thought,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: how can anybody do a show after this? How could
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it ever get back to laps? And I think people
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: that were there were so rattled by it that they
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: needed some kind of relief from it because we had
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: all experienced this thing together. So that was a way
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: to kind of decompress in the room.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: That's probably why the guy got drunk. Yeah, yeah, I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think that guy was just maybe he
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: came drunk. Yeah he was.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He was already a little sauced when he got there. Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: this happens, but anyway, not Choe. We're so glad you're okay, yea,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: and please keep reaching out. Let's let's do lunch and
• 19:54

• 19:55

• 19:58

• 20:02
  Speaker 2: real name.

• 20:08
  Speaker 1: very that's great. Hey, happy ending. It is a happy ending,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm so glad.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how you're gonna segue out of luck.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: That reminds me of a quote from this theologian. Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: it is my segment, though it's we they talked it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: not we, Johnny, they they they talked about that. Oh
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the other day you had the video up or whatever,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: because you're sitting at UH for the editing, and it
• 20:48

• 21:03
  Speaker 1: videos on talk.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: About That podcast dot com and a bunch of episodes
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you can catch up on.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, subscribe, share yeah, out of all that stuff, smash
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: that subscribersh that like button aw Pink born eighteen eighty
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: six died in nineteen fifty two, born in Nottingham, England. Yeah. Uh,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: he was the sheriff. I'm just kidding. He was. Actually.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: It was interesting with this guy is that he pastored
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: several churches other things. He was a like a Calvinist
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: theologian kind of brought like Puritan theology into more of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the modern space for them and was really like a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: total unknown. Wrote a bunch of books, but really unknown, okay.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And then afterwards after he died.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Are you afraid of being that? Is that what your
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Is that your deepest fear. I don't think it's a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: fear at all. I think that'd be awesome.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But you have something that you die in poverty helps
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: people later. I mean, then you won't have any pride,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: But you want both, right. I wanted to write a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: book called better Off Dead because I really had the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: thought because I'm always in the way so much. It's like,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: if I do make anything any better off if I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: if I was dead, because then you could actually use
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: it without a wordy about me being in the way,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean I.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Think about my legacy, but I also think about paying
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: my light bill.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I get to do that too. Interestingly enough,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: before I do the quote this conversation light Bill, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: had this conversation yesterday. They're gonna be listening because I was.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I made a little speech at the staff table about
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: like I forget who, I forget what the what the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: context was, But I was talking about how you and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I all the time like it's good to be small enough.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: If you get to do something creative and make somewhat
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of a living at it, that's huge. But to not
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: We're talking about like how people can bring back and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: cancel you for anything you've ever done in your past. Yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, I'm not big enough to anybody
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you care, you know. And then but some of the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: artists and people at the table who were younger, who
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: were in our world, you know, they were very they
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: really wrestled with it. There was like a but I
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: want to be I want my music or my art
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: or whatever to go, you know. And I was like,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: well that it can. Well I'm thinking like, but if
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you were, if you were, I forgot who I named.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You know, there's certain people they're so big that everything
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they do, right, I think I named Nate. Whatever Nate
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: does now is I mean, you know he could bring
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in and get away from it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: The scale of his fame has like there's a scale
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that you get to where the pain in the butt
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: of being that big, right, I wonder if the money
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: they're giving you is enough for that pain in the.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Butt and think about how how far and fast you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: can fall?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because now you're now the sniper fire. Bob Carlisle
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: said that Bob Carlile.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Was just this Christian artist who was in bands and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he did a head of solo career and then he
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: did Butterfly Kisses and it became like an international small
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and he said it was one of the most miserable
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: times in his life. He said, the sniper fire, when
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you're on the top of the mountain is way more
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: intense interesting because you become a target.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You become like you go from like who is this guy?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: To like, let's get this guy? Yeah, really really quick.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get I don't ever want to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: get to the let's get.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: This guy now. I would have wanted that when I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: was younger. Now I'm like, no, no, there's because you
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: think you will be able to handle well, look, if
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they wrote you a big enough check, you can handle it,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and he'll just buy a bulletproof vest. You go. No,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want the sniper fire. I just want to because.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Again, I'm a comedian, so my weakness is I want
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to be liked by everybody. Yeah, I craft an act
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to please a crowd of people, so it's hard not to.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: How do you how do you break yourself from people
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: pleasing when that's the job.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't want sniper fire. I want to be loved, which,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, I had to learn the hard way
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: that that is not the job when you're a pastor
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and the contrary to popular belief. So that's a good thing.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: When you've learned that, it's definitely.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Good that you've finally figured it out because we don't
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: love you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm not one of those guys Like I watched
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: those of these videos. I love it because it's the guy.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a camera on just on a face,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and then he's watching the video like he's there, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: it's always some pastor do something crazy, you know, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: it comes back to him and he's kind of got
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: these doe eyes, you know, and that's why. Or it's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the or it's the caption of the day you bring
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: your friend to church. You know, I think nothing weird
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: what happened kind of thing, you know, which for us
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: covering Pentecostal kids, that's a real Oh wait, Please don't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: please don't let sister Shirley do the dance. Please don't
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: let you don't bring them on Sunay night. Don't bring
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a friend to Sunday night church.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Are there Sunday Nights still going on? Probably out there
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: somewhere in rural areas. Anyway, I feel like I've derailed
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: your quote. So you never got to the quote because
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I stopped you at a W pink And the fact
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: that he became a bigger name after he was gone.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Sorry, John, No, I like that that's question. Instead of
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a river, God often gives us a brook which may
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: be running today and dried up tomorrow, why to teach
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: us not to rest in our blessings and the blesser himself?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Pretty good? Yeah? That brook thing really speaks to me,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: always has ever since college. I remember when we thought
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: about leaving the first church that you and I were
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: volunteering in. Yeah, and I felt like I had like
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: this kind of holy spirit moment because I'd never left
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a church before I left college. I was raised in
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: one church my whole life to go to college. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: now but that the pastor guy's quite frankly, yeah, it
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was an untenable situation. He just begins saying some absolutely
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: not just theologically insane things, but probably you know, yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: clinically insane. Yeah. And so, but I still was wrestling
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm a loyalist, you know. And and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: so when plus we're raising that thing of like this
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: is the man of God, I didn't have that feeling
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: as much as just I don't know, like it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It feels like it feels like you're losing.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: To walk away.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: You're still you're admitting a little bit.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I remember having this this I don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: know if my if our friend set it to us,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. On we were on a band trip.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Our friend has passed away now Brian, or if it
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: just came to me, I can't remember. But somewhere in
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: there there was a discussion and it was the idea.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: The idea was I thought of Elijah. And during the famine,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Elijah goes to this brook. God leads into this brook
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and the ravens bring him food every day and he
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: drinks from the brook by this little cave, I think,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: if I remember, and nothing fancy, just enough right, and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he lives that way for a couple of years. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a seven year famine maybe,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And I should have looked up the story. Guys, I'm sorry.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't toeln that one a while. And then one
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: day the brook dries up. And I think about that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: moment all the time. How the brook drives up for us, guys,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it just does. There are just moments when a thing
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: worked and then it just doesn't. It was one of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the it was this very jarring thing for me in life.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I remember it happening in youth ministry. I told someone
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the other day, I mean, I feel like PJ had
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a job he could do well for a long long time.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It could connect with teenagers and do this stuff. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: then I remember the day I stood up to speak
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: on stage and I did not have them like I
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: used to. They had phones in their hands, and I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was like, this is different. It just changed tonight, everything
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: just changed. And other days when things that used to
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: work just don't, and the brook drives up, and it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: very it's a very betraying feeling of like you don't
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: realize you're like, God, why would you do this to me?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Why would you? You know? And then the story and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I remember that thing about leaving the church. You know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: it was the idea of, hey, it's not it's not
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that anything's wrong. It just means there's something next to come.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Because in the story, Elijah then goes and finds the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: widow who's about to use the last bit of oil.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: She has to make these this bread or she calls
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the cake, and she's going to feed it to her son,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a little boy, and then they're just going to die
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of starvation, and Elijah convinces her and I hope this
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: is Elijah, and elijhah, I think it was Elijah. And
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: he convinces her, like, hey, make it for me instead,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and she does out of faith. And then the oil
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: never runs out and he begins to live with the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: widow and her son for years now. So God provided
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: through the oil instead of through the brook now and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: provided for two other people. And then when the sun dies,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Elijah raises him from the dead. So he's also there
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: for this great tragedy to not only help them survive.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: But she wouldn't if the Brook hadn't ride out, he
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: would have been forced into that situation.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good stuff. So the idea of if you're out,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, guys, I mean, I'm just being as real
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: as I can with you. And Johnny knows a lot
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: of my personal life. I'm not going to go into details,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: but there have been some Brook drying up things in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the last several years that are just hard, and they're
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: hard and Lord and I talk about them a lot,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and things I can't explain. That's the thing Elijah in
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the moment did not have an explanation, just hey, trust
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: me and go to the next thing. But when you're
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: used to one thing working and it's from God's goodness
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: it is, I think you do begin to rest and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the blessings and there's nothing wrong with that, but they change.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And there's one thing in life I don't like. It's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the idea that I can't predict or find the guarantees
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: right of what's going to happen forever in this life.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I even thought this morning not to wax eloquent, Johnny.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: It's not very eloquent, but it's long. If that helps,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I thought about and that's your favorite I thought about
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like when God created time. When God created time, it
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: put every bit of the angst possible when time is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: combined with sin into our life. Because now, since God
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: exists outside of time and within time, but he's not
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: confined by it, then everything that feels like time to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: us feels like nothing to him. So it doesn't matter
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: if it's a thousand years or ten seconds. We always
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: feel like we're waiting for something that he never feels
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: like he's waiting for because it's as if it already
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: happened to him. And so like that, I think it's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: that it's always about the waiting and the unknown that's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the issue. But hey, if you're out there today and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you feel like your brook's ride up, it doesn't mean
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: God's abandoned you. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't mean
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that God for good. It doesn't mean he's like, oh man,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I should have that's right. I forgot to make sure
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the brook didn't like it's always this like why are
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you sleep at the wheel? And I quoted John Foreman
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: in a sermon late the other day. I don't know
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: if you were there for that one where he says,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: where's God out in the darkness? Because the voices in
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: my head aren't talking honest. They say, maybe you made
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: his hand for Goddess, but that ain't you. That's the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: bridge or the third little pre course of this song,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and that gives me lame. The voices in my head
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: don't talk honest, because what I'm hearing is maybe just
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: forgot me. Yeah you know. But hey, God will lead
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: us to the The blesser is still with us, regardless
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of the change and the blessings of the brooks. So
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: there you go, John, that's good stuff.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, w pink pink, all pink hands in the center.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Girls.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's like a volleyball cheer that you guys can try it. John,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: let's do my singment. Let's start with Johnny's old jokes.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: We call a joke about that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: John.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: My mother always said, the best way to a man's
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: heart is through his stomach. Lovely woman, terrible surgeon.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Lost a lot of lost, a lot of patience like that,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: John went. That reminded me of this one. When one
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: door closes, another one opens. Other than that, it's a
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: great car. That's such a great joke.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: John.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Three brothers, aged ninety two, ninety four and ninety six
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: live in a house together. One night, the ninety six
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: year old draws a bath, puts his foot in, and pauses.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: He yells down the stairs. Was I getting in or
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: out of the bath? The ninety four year old yells back,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll come up and see.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: He starts up the stairs and pauses, then yells, was
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I going up the stairs or coming down?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: The ninety two year old was sitting at the kitchen
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: table having coffee, listening to his brothers. He shakes his
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: head and says, I sheer up. I never get that. Forgiveful.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: He knocks on wood for good luck. Then he yells,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I'll come up and help both of you. As soon
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: as I see who's at the door.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I knew that was coming. Old people, guys, the best.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Let's do this week in history, John, we call it
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: talk about then.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: John.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: This week nineteen seventy three, a car reputed to be
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Adolph Hitler's car is auctioned off for one hundred.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And fifty three thousand. First of all, who's buying Hitler's car? Exactly? Who?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Hitler's car survived the bombing of Germany? This sad ground.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: He had an underground parking garage roight beside the bunker.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: This set the record for the highest amount ever paid
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: for a car at auction. I'm sure it's been broken
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: since then. This was seventy three. I mean, that's a
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: lot of money in today's money. Seventy three hundred fiftyt
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: that's probably close to over half million dollars. However, it
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: was discovered later, like you said, that this was not
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Hitler's car, but belonged to Gustav Mannerheim, President of Finland
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty four to forty six. The car was a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty Mercedes seven to seventy K two hundred and
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: thirty horsepower armored vehicle, which I guess was what led
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the scammer to be like, this has got to be
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: a Hitler's car.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: It's armored.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: It was capable of speeds of one hundred and five
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: miles per hour. Wow by those standards, because it's a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty Mercedes.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you have a lot of questions. I have
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of things. Yeah. First of all, the auctioneers
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: should be ashamed because yeah, you're not vetting the way
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you should.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: No, you can't just call it's interesting that it ended
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: up not being Hitler, but it was somebody else pretty famous.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You aren't even in the same country. Yeah, well in Austria, Finland, Finland.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I mean you're in an you've got an enemy country's
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's like, that's really just listen, be
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: careful when you're at these auctions. You gotta know. And secondly,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: stop shopping around for Hitler's car. You're weirdo, Like, hey,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you bring your You're not going to believe this. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: call this atrocity too, I mean stupid. Yeah, why would they?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Why do you have an atrocity one? Yeah, anyway,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: come on, it had like a tiny little grill. The
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: rest of it is like a tiny in the middle. Okay,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that's stupid. I'm sorry. I apologize to our dear listeners.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Can I just say this, Yes, there's one guy. I
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: don't mind the smirching. It's Hitler. Yeah, let's go ahead
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and let's get him. What can I tell you something?
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: He and I don't the thing about it to follow him.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: He seems to have the least amount of visual chrisma.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: He's not a good looking dude, right, It's odd. It is.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: It is strange to think like the presence that he
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: commanded being you know what he was. It was talking
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: articles too.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: He's shouting, he's pounding tables, and you're like, man, what
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: was that all about?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't good with women, Like there was a whole
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: thing I read on that, like some of some genetic
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: things and other things like it's weird, dude, it's just
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a yeah, he's like the guy and that they all
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: picked up.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: He is tapped into rage, and he tapped into like disenfranchisement.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And uh, we keep trying to tap into that ourselves,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but to no avail. Yeah, to no avail. John. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: so maybe we'll learn one of these days. John.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: This week, eighteen fifteen, the Battle of New Orleans. Do
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: you know a lot about this when you're us history guy?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Although the Treaty of Ghent ended the War of eighteen twelve,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: or ending the wars, we have been signed two weeks earlier.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: News had not arrived in time to prevent this battle.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Then, won't that? I know? And you're still fight a battle.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: You don't even have to come on, you just need
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the news. You're rut here.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: You need to read the Treaty Aghent or whatever, any
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of the Gospel of John. That's our Treaty of Ghent.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, this was the most lopsided
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: victory for the US of the war, which surprised me.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Future US President Andrew Jackson led a mish mash for
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: about forty five hundred soldiers, locals, and even a pirate
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: crew of John Lafitte against eight thousand British regulars, So
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: forty five hundred to eight thousand media was the most
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: lopsided victory for the US. The battle lasted about half hour,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: with British troops losing seven hundred killed, fourteen hundred wounded,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: and five hundred prisoners taken, including three generals and seven colonels.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: The American troops only lost seven killed and six wounded. Yeah,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: this was we doing that they weren't doing.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: What's crazy is I mean the thing that battle could
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: have not happened if they would have had the news.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: But that battle changed the whole course of American history
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: because this propelled Jackson into absolute.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a pretty wild victory to have, I mean,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and it didn't need to happen by the eighteen thirties.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I mean again, this American hero is the president that
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the populous president that changed the course of the age
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit for them. So yeah, John.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: This week nineteen forty two, the first emergency use of
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: an airplane ejection seat by a German test pilot as
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: his plane was about to crash. German test pilot Helmet Shink,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: which is the most German name I've ever heard, except
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: for Adolf Hitler. Helmet Schenk, was testing a Heinkel HG
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: two eighty prototype jet engine fighter. It was the first
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: plane outfitted with an ejection seat. The ejection seat was
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: powered by compressed air. While testing the plane, Shink's control
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: surfaces iced up and he lost control of the plane,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: so he ejected, making him the first person to do
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: so emergent situation. Shank's ejection was successful and he survived
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the incident.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Wow. I wonder what the.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Protocol is now for these ejections when they tell you
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: when you're training in these million, you know, billion dollar
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: you know planes, and they say, hey, there's an injection seat.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: But but listen, if you could say that's the thing,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: it's only in planes because you know, uh, you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: if you're on a ship, you down with the ship.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: That's what a captain's supposed to did have an ejection. See,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: but he's just gonna pop you out further in the water.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: That's true, there's really I guess you want to be
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: a ship captain, boyt. Can you see him flying splash?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, that was weird, that dramatic. I mean,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: at least he's further away from the carnage or whatever. Yeah,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: maybe with the ship's on fire.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah you need something, that's but yeah, so but the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: end and planes are like no, but I wonder what
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: the thing is where they go. Look, this is a
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: lot of money for trusting you with. Don't just be
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: willy nilly and make sure you know where that button is.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: You're not accidentally hit. I know those people have ejected.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: They're like, guys, it was fine, man.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it totally turns out fine. He just panicked.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: You know, he's getting I'm getting some turbulence you no, no, no,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: you know And then yeah, of course, now I'm sure
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the plane can just fly itself home if that were
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, that's why we need more drones. Yes, boy,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: don't you think we wouldn't be pro drone here on
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: the show one stance we take politically.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I love a good drum. Can we not get more
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: of these?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Just send over manned with no accountability? Okay, John, let's
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: do this a couple of silly ones that are kind
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: of odd because we've been so serious up to now. Well,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: we've talked about battles and Adolf Hitler.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: John.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: This week nineteen ninety two. I don't even remember this story.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: We're five years apart, but I remember this story. US
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: President George H. W. Bush Senior vomited in the lap
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: of the Japanese Prime Minister and collapsed to the floor.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: He had ignored a physician's warning to stay in bed.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Do you have like a.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Summit or whatever, and you do the big dinner with
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the thing and it's it's very last suffrage from you,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: these dinners because they're they're made for press, right. So
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: he's sitting next to in the shot, and he became
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: so nauseous that he then I mean, you know, that's
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the thing, when you're that sick that you can't even
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: control where the vomit's going.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Right, that's sick. It's really sick because normally to be
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: like I need to you have a countdown in your
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: head going off like you got five segments and you're
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: gonna if you don't find a trash can eject. Yes,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: but to be like that sick thing, I guess because
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: you talk yourself out of it. Nop gun not gun,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and you just kind of I've tried to do a bad.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: But not gun that wouldn't be prudent at this junket
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: and then he just put into the lap.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: It's amazing that I remember Living Color did a sketch
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: about it. Uh, that's the so like they had an
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Asian cast member by then, and Jim Carrey was Bush
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: and he threw up in the lap and I can't
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: remember what the you know, I mean, it's already its
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: own gag, no pun intended. It is a gag. It's
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: it's interesting though politically, like the fallout was not huge
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: because it's almost you sympathize, Yeah, like he was sick,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: but it is a yeah, it's true. What if it
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: vomited on whatever would have been in Russia right then? Yeah,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: because the wall had fallen by then, it's ninety two,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: that would have been. I bet Boris Yeltson your Gorbachev
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: was Gorbachev still in ninety two?
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: But Gorbachev was an ally by then.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Is still going or had it passed to Boris?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Boris Yeltsen, the most Russian name ever other than Vladimir
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Putin probably blam Reputin's is a very like John the same.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: This is the why did these make the list? Because
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the same week ten years later, two thousand and two,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: US President George Bush George w the Sun he passed
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: out after choking on a pretzel while watching a football game,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: You're kidding. After fainting, the president tumbled to the floor
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: from a couch, bruising his lower lip and suffering an
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: abrade in the size of a half dollar on his
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: left cheek. And I don't know if we ever just
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: didn't know about it because they someone.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Come clear the obstruction and he would have died, right,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Or maybe Barbara was there and was like sweetie, and
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: she horton, she got got in there. But then they
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: probably had a makeup guy coming because he had to
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: do a you know, a thing the next you know,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: you got to go be around a makeup guy and
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: then he kind of fixed. So that's why it never
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: really we never really knew that it had happened. We had
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: a twenty four hour news cycle by then, so it
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't that. Yeah, but I don't remember that being a
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: big story of like, yeah, President Bush choking on pretzels.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: You know, speaking of choking, you know, I bought one
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: of those things for the kitchen, kind of making fun
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: of me, the pretzel maker. It's like a suction thing.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: If someone starts choking, you put it over their mouth
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and you just pull it, really pull it right out.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: There's an emergency Heimlick doesn't do the hemel like. It
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: just creates suction around their face and just pulls anything
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: out that's in there. So depending on how far down
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: it is in there, I wonder if you could push
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: down to maybe.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that would work for like mucus if
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: you're like super sick but you can't quite cough the
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: thing up.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Terrible at coughing up. I don't have a very productive
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I have tomb I was like, hey, cover your ears
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: because I getting ready to Yeah, it's one of those
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: like I need.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: So they have devices now, it's like the emergency ladder.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: People have those emergency ladders.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: In their house.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: If you have a second floor where you can just
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: like it, like it rolls down like Rapunzel. Yeah, this
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: is the emergency ladder of the cho Laura, I think
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: you're choking your pank.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You've got to remember you have you have it, it's
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: all it's not even put together, still on the back
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and so like Laura's. But Laura kind of looked at
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: me like we'll just do the hemelg. She's a nurse,
• 43:56

• 43:58
  Speaker 1: have to do CPR as someone. Have I been trained? Sure?
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Do I remember? No? And like so it's one of
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: those like in that moment, I'll be like Laura, you know,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: come to the CPR because she's done CPR in a
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: medical environment and I'm just a lay person, you know

  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's but she was, Yeah, you're going to,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: you going to It's like a thing. It's like the

  Speaker 2: thing that God that can lift the car when somebody's
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: pinned under it. Yeah, the adrenaline.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: My fear is I would be the guy that would
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: fail at that. Yeah. He'd be like, Oh, I thought
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: you had adrenaline. No I do, but I'm super weak,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: like I needed. Well, how how big is this car?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Can it be? Like? Is it a hatchback? Is it

  Speaker 1: nineteen forty Mercedes? Yeah, that's how it all comes full circle.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Thank you Johnes for that brilliant callback. Yeah, that's our show.

  Speaker 1: Subscribe and listen if you want to become a patron.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: We love our patrons, and we I'd love to say
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: that we can promise you a ton of but you
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: get ad free content.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I like that. Johnny will still promise you, but don't listen.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: This is the year that those indie promises come true, though, Well,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the one promise we need to follow through on. Yep,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: it's not really a promise yet. We need to do
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: this zoo meet up with some of these patrinsy is
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that we'll just start to spotting stuff. I'm going to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: give you something for real. Oh okay, okay, there's episode
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: four hundred coming up. Yeah, oh right, we need to
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: look at the live event. Yes, and see we have
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: people reached out and say they would come. Uh huh,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: but that's like, it's this is episode I don't know
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: for three eighty something, so we only fifteen or something.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be your schedule, not mine. I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: travel a lot, but not like you. So we can
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: do it. So when it doesn't happen, I'm saying, we'll
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: still be able to squarely put the blame one. That
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: blame shifting is very important. It's been toxic for me.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, and I need boundaries.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that feels that's a proper response.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I deserve this. No one can argue with therapy language.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: That's what we're for therapy. By the way, we're anti therapy.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: We're just anti using therapy as a just language without
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: the work or just the language to know who to
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: blame and never have to work, and maybe somebody you
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: need to didn't need to take responsibility.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe there is somebody to blame, and maybe that person
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: is you.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe you need to take a long look in the mirror.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: You imagine Johnny was your therapist. Hey, you ever thought
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: about maybe the problem was you Remember that time we
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: were with our buddy. He was out a rough time
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and he was kind of blowing up on things and
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: we had this like a little intervention. Yeah, and our
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: other buddy was with us. We were all coming in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: ready to be gentle, like hey man, you know, and
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: we sat down and he goes, hey, you ever thought
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: to yourself, man, my life sucks. We were like what
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: He was like, no, oh man, that meeting.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: That not we were hoping that would be a big
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: aha moment. He was like, no, I don't think that, or.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Like maybe we could have led with something a little different.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: You ever just thought to yourself, man, there's your book title,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: my life sucks. Yeah, that's self realization. People have to
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: want that kind of self. Really, you can't give self
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: realization or else it's not self, it's right, it's exterior revelation.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Come on, realization. We're work, work, working on well, guys,
