  Speaker 4: Leader and you know, back so I remember, like I
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: just that's a big one.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I took to it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I sold a few copies.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: That's as a writer. Though, now I go, that's a
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: lot of laws. I mean, Jesus, the.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Guy only gave ten.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm saying in the Coming off of the Mountain,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: that is a lot of laws. I mean, there's six hundred.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: He was talking on stage about how many books he's written.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I think he turns seventeen. I'm going to go a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: weekend that we were out, he turned seventy nine, so
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he was it was he was literally speaking on his birthday.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to guess he's written forty higher, higher, sixty
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: five higher.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: One hundred higher, No, ninety two, ninety two original, he's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: written ninety two books.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: See, I've written thirty five.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but but you could get there. You're only come
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: on seventy nine.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Like three of those are in my voice in some way,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: either as a co author or author.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Right, So, well, that's not true. I've written other.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: John here, John, Here's a lot of voices.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Guys, you don't even want to know in my head
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Speaking of other voices on the podcast, John, let's take
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a minute and hear from a few of our fine sponsors.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: If you had, say, five irrefutable laws, I mean to me,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: it's it's a daunting task.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Tony Yellow snow, Yeah, don't swim. Thirty minutes after is
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it thirty minutes after eating? Then they say that's that's not.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's a myth. Now they say, jump right in the swims.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: The best thing you can do. You need to start
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: getting the get the digestion. You don't at that spare tire.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: You gotta start. You know.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's funny.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I have been talking to my daughter about like things
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: in life. Because we had a bunch of girls in
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the car. We took them all out for these loaded teas.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You know, they all get these loaded tea's. Now, which
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: are these caffeinated iced tea? Either get the tea's or
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: they get like these.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I thought it was like some kind of I don't know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a hormone supplement, Like I got a load tea. I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: gotta get loaded tea. My doctor, My doctor gave me
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: an injection.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But the kids all writing is really funny because you
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: hear what all they what is a loaded tea? It's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like this high.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: It's like it's like a dirty soda. They put creamer
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: intoor something. What do they do?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: We get those two the dirty one of those last night?
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: But which, by the way, what's like Mormon thing? You know?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because they all watched The Lives of Mormon wives.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: They all got inig. This swig is like, guys, all
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: you gotta do is go find a soda from the
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: gas station, get some creamer in it, throw a couple
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: of flavors in it, and go sell it for ten dollars.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And me and you were in the wrong businesses. But anyway,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I was like, hey, let's talk about all the kids talking.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I want to give you a list. This is not
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: twenty one irrefutable list, but here are things you should
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: never joke about. And I started making like, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: never joke about someone else's appearance. Never joke about politics, yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: never joke about religion, Never joke about disability, never joke
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: about Who are you telling this to to my daughter?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Like after the fact, because you're listening to teenagers talk.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: She'd been drinking her tea and she was hopped up
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: on it and she was just letting the slurs fly.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: What was going on, not her, I'm just talk about this.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I'm just listening to all the teenagers talking. Yeah, I'm
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: just saying, hey, I'm just noticing things right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Their filters a little bit down right.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: So what you're saying, well, in this generation, you know, oh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I think they're more careful.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That's what people act like. Oh, it's just correct. Now
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you can't say anything.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Part of the deal is is their emotional age is
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: pretty far behind their chronological age in terms of I know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: you can't say every single person or whatever, but especially
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: if they're neurodivergent or anything.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But it could be up to five years.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: So seventeen eighteen year olds maybe talking about things that
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: you and I in our generation the nineties were talked.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: About at like twelve or thirteen.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: So to figure out because most of the interaction is online,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: so when they're together, they're they're.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get that online thing. Yeah, because you're more
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: likely to be inappropriate if you feel like there's this wall, right,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it's keyboard, keyboard.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Now you're figuring out how it works with real people
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: in real life and so and then you only get
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: that through practice, and you're still practicing Johnny someday, head.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Buddy, I'm gonna get it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Give it some time one days.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Fully compartmentalized.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: So your generation, for you in particular, it's like you're
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: thirty years behind your chronological age.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And so yeah, you're doing okay. I feel like I
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: would not need twenty one that's pretty good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: So you know, there's a song.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: There's an artist she listens to you named Tate mcray.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I've heard of Tate McCray.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm not endorsing everything Tate mcray oh sings about.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know enough to know about her.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But it's funny.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: She had a song we listened to yesterday and it
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: was about I wish I'd have met you in the nineties.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So that whole generation a right for this for her
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: predigital Yeah, say it says all the time, I wish
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I just would have been born in the nineties.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that is going to be a thing. Yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: being an analog kid becomes like something you long for,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You did you don't You missed out on this thing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Then innocence probably.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Pre nine eleven pre yeah, right, less worry or digital
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: you're not worried about walking to a school and getting shot.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can say, and I don't mean to
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: she wouldn't have be sharing this, but I mean remember
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: they locked down and said he's school or her freshman
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: year one time. Yeah, you know, and she was sending
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: us texts and stuff like right as if, hey, if
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: something happens and you're like, it was so heartbreaking and
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: it wasn't anything.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Everything was okay, But kids have to worry about that now.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Or if they go into a movie theater and someone
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: just comes and stands at the bottom, you can see
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: the kids tense up because they're paying attention to what's
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: you know out there in our in nineties.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I never, no, I didn't think that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I mean there was danger, but I don't think you
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: ever thought about it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Mom would drop us off at them all and just
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: be like, I'll pick you up at six or whatever
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: and you just.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Take a skateboard and go outside. Or yeah, they would
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: drop us off at Ipperland, USA.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Skateboar would have been dangerous for me.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Well, it was probably dangerous for me too.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I fell lost straight to the er.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, hey, John, I think it's about that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It's my segment. We call. They talked about that Bridget
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of Sweden.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: She just gets to be Bridget of Sweden, no last name,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: thirteen o three to thirteen seventy three. Okay, that's why
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: there wasn't bringing in Bridgetes then I.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Would imagine not a Swedish mystic saint and founder of
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: the Brigittine religious order.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Well that makes sense.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's that. I like something that the bridge,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: it's called what it is, you know what I'm saying now.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: To be confused with Bridgerton, that's a.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's so old that this is attributed to
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: her and her writings called revelations.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: The Bridgetine Revelations.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Right, But I mean again, there's a chance.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I always want to say that there's a chance if
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: you're a scholar out there, maybe you know a better
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: original source of this. But this is pretty widely attributed
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: to her. To write well and speak well is mere
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: vanity if one does not live.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Well, oh well, that's almost like first Qrientian's thirteen. It says,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: if I, you know, sound like an angel, if I
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: sing like an angel, or if I can reveal all
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: mysteries but have not love, I'm nothing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah No, And it it gets me because I think
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: of my twenties, and I think about or even my
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: late teens when I first started songwriting and stuff, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you just don't you just can't know what you haven't experienced.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: And then, like I was thinking about, I mentioned it today,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: there was a I wrote these three books. It was
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: really one book, and my first agent said, hey, bringing
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: you the thing that's on your heart. And I had
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: this thing called No Rivals and that's the name of
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: my company. By the way, is no rival to LC
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: that I write under. And it was this whole like basically,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's more, way more than this. But how
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: like quantification robs us of the process. So if you
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: stop and everything's account, everything's about how much you make
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: or how many people you had or whatever.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Right or feeling like you're behind chronologically, Well, my friends
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: were eighteen when they had this experience, and I'm not
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: there yet. So now I feel like I've missed out right.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: You haven't arrived and everyone else has. And it's a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: great thing for your twenties. You begin to realize. I
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: was begin to realize, Oh, I think that if Johnny
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: and I got a record deal, then I'll be complete. Yeah, right,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: and then you have enough things happened to you, whether
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: it's marriage, and I used to want to speak on it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: I would have like, Okay, I want to name a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: few ages. You tell me the big thing that happens
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: at that age. Okay, you're born, Now what happens at five?
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: You're gonna go to kindergarten. What happens at twelve or
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: so where you're a teenager, you're gonna start middle school?
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: What happens at eighteen and they can always name it,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: you're gonna graduate? What happens at twenty one? Oh, I
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: can drink now, I can do this. What happens? And
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: eventually then what happens in your thirties, your twenties, you
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: get married, your thirties, you striving kids or whatever. It's
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: like we can sum our lives up in like ten
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: or twelve things, and we've moved so fast through them,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: trying to get.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: To the next arrival point is what i'd call it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: That eventually you're like trying to slow those things down
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: because you're getting closer now to their a point of death,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: so like you don't really live, you know, in that process.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: And so anyway, I wrote it all and thought this
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: was I mean, for me, it was very it was
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: a proving ground of content that I really needed to
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: try to seek contentment and other things. Gave it to
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the guy. It was so big, it was one hundred
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: and fifty thousand words. Yeah, and he was like, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: don't get it. You're dropped and like dropped me. He said,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: good luck to you in the future. That's pretty close
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Have dropped you.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah you aren't. Yeah, and so but I remember thinking
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: this is to me. The writing was supposed to be
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: published like it was supposed to I wanted to write
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: well and speak well. I wanted to be these things
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: that I kind of had a little bit of talent
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: to do or a calling to do. And then as
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: life went on, which I never did publish that, so
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I turned it into three books, and I think I
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: had almost had a deal with a denominational publisher. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: then the day basically I was getting the contract, a kid,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: you not, was the day they shut down all of
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: their brick and mortar stores. Oh right, and they was like, hey,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: all of our contracts are going to be put on hold.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: So it never got made. And I look back now
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: and I'm kind of grateful because it's like, I don't
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: know if I knew how to live well, you know
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Like there was some good there were
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: some really cool things I wrote in there, but I
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: mean you look at it and go, what is a
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: twenty five year old really gonna teach me about living? Well,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: because you can't until you've had some time. I'm still
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: not sure. Now I'm more I'm less.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Likely to think I could teach on that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: But I just think it's really telling that there's so
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: many things I don't even think about.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: What you do.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: You go back and listen to old jokes and stuff.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Now you've always had the talent for funny, but you're
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: so much more sharpened now to know exactly what how
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: you want your version of this to happen and what
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: you don't want to happen.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes you go back and I'll find like an
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: old joke that didn't really work, but I'll be like, well,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm a better comedian now, let me go look at
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: it again and see it hopefully through new eyes or whatever.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you still can't get to work because it was
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: never a good idea, But every now and again you'll
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: be like, oh, there's something there, and now with more
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: confidence or more finesse, maybe I can do something with it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: If sometimes you can, Yeah, there's there's definitely a proving
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: ground on that stuff. But yeah, I mean, yeah, you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: don't know what you don't know, And like everybody has
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that whole analogy of like in church world, do we
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: have the couple that gets married six months later, they're
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: doing a marriage seminar. They're doing a book and a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: fifty two week devotional on marriage. God's way, dude. They're like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: all right, dude, calm down.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Not one of my fighter moments that I can remember.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: We had a I think it was Allison.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Who's been on the podcast before, was interning at Thomas
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Nelson and she came to church one night and she
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: had the pre release version of The Bachelor.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: One of the Bachelor guys got.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: A book deal at the biggest Christian publisher in the world. Okay,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: and I, of course I was doing a lot of
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: premratal counseling and stuff for a lot of young couples.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Then I was so mad and jealous.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Right because just because the platform, the fifteen minutes of fame,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: now he gets a book deal.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I was like one in the world, like he is
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: not been married yet. Really, he's just now in this
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: and through a horrible process. In my opinion, that's you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying you can't watch The Bachelor.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, do you.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: It's not a traditional way, and he probably now in retrospect,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: he probably had a writer writing great things in there
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: as well and taking his concepts and making them more grounded.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: And that's a great publisher and they do great work,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: you know. But I just I remember that feeling of
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: you haven't had a chance to live this, you know, Andrew,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: we just had lunch with, you know, my pastor and
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: one of our dear friends, my boss. Like that dude,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: the older he's gotten, he lives, he lives better. Yeah,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of like I look at him and go,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: he he's more honest, not more closed off.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: He's more likely to help others, not less.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: It's more vulnerable, yeah, more likely to laugh, more likely
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to cry. Yeah, he's he's not closed off. Some people
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: get really closed off and bitter. And it's not like
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: he hasn't anything happened to him. He's definitely got reasons.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody's got a reason to be better. Yeah, you're right,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: that's where you want to go. Yeah. I see people.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: There's older people in my life that I've met and
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I been mentored by a little bit on along the way.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And some people I don't know like have to do
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: relationship with. But I see him and you just go like,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: there's one guy that was like an early Christian pioneer
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: of like comedy. He was in a group called Isaac
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Airfred in California and they would do sketch comedy. They
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: were kind of like a Monty pythonish And anyway, he
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: went on to produce like David Letterman shows, and he
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: produced The Prices Right for a while, and he did
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: all these other things. But when I would see him
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: speak at like Christian Comedy Association, he would speak to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the group and he just did not have a tinge
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: of because he could have easily been like that, you
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: guys are all here because I started this thing and
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: made fifty bucks a night, and there was just none
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: of that. He still loved God, he still loved his wife,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: he still loved the church. He was happy that everybody
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: was like benefiting from what he had laid the groundwork for.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, I want to thirty years from now
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: when I'm ready to walk away. I hope I'm more
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: like that than I am, you know now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely I don't want too. And I think it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I see the old curmudgeon temptation.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Sure, I see it's just easy yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: To like, okay, to see through everything right.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And it's like shorting the stock You ever see people
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: who like because now it's a big thing in the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: stock market. You go, you bet on a company to fail. Yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you're rooting for it to fail.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And so it's like we have a whole generation of
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: people who are like betting against their own relationships because
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: they're like, I'll prove myself right, Yeah, But meanwhile, you're
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: sabotaging the relationship by betting against it with your attitude
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: every day. Yeah, you're doubling down on this short and
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: then when your marriage in you go, I knew it. Yeah,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: she must have not been the one. You're like, dude,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you've been shorting this for twenty years.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: No, you're right, I mean, and I'd say it all
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: the time in my house, Like, you know, you will
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: find what you spend your time looking for to some extent.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: And if you're always looking for the negative or you're
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: always looking for something like, you will self fulfill We
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: all will, you know.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: And I think the hard part life is.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: My definition of hope, right, And Reggie and I are
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: starting to write on some of this, just that it's
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: looking for the good, always looking for the good that
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: is to come. I mean, whenever I'm in can I
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: one by faith is believing that good exists even though
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I can't see it. Hope is actively moving my attitude
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: towards a place of expectancy of I'm going to keep
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: looking for it in wonder how long it takes believing
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: that good is ahead. And then I think maturity in
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Christ is learning to allow God to define that good
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: and not just your expectations of the current circumstance. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: that's the hard part, right, learning to look for the
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: good in God, his nearness or the little things that
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: He does in the middle of a crisis to still
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: bring a moment of relief. I mean, you know, I
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: think you begin to hopefully look beyond just the big
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: outcome and see the sustaining moments of it. Listened to
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: asalng twenty three song by Shane and Shane and some
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: of my favorites, and just really hit me that surely goodness,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: surely mercy ride beside me all my days, and like
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: just that idea that there's an expectancy in David's words
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: about there is a goodness inherently because I'm following the
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: shepherd that's there even though I'm walking through a valley
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: that's full of death. And even though the enemies surround me,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: and there's a shepherd wrote a book about that they
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: would call the table was this elevated part of where
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: the land was. So if the sheep in the valley
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: that you know, you go to the you'd be at
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: the table. If it pairs a table before me could
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: mean something for the shepherd and the sheep, not just
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: for an actual table, meaning like where that table was,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: where they would be would be lower and elevated around them.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: The predators could be watching them as they ate or whatever,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: but they would eat in peace because they knew.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: The shepherd knew that the predators were there. He was
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: watching more than the predators were.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: And so so you're not just pray like, you're also protected.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: And I just think looking for that goods hard to do,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you know, and.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I don't do it well every day, but you will
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: find to some extent what it is you look for.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Bridget of Sweden.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Bridget, she knew what she was talking about.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I want to say her name is also written says
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Saint Burgita of Sweden. Okay, so that's the Swedish spelling. No,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I don't speak Swedish per se.
• 29:34

• 30:04
  Speaker 2: start with old jokes. We call a joke about that John.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: A guy walks into a bar with a sad look
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: on his face. The regular sees him and says, hey,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you're doing all right? I'm doing terrible, says the guy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I'm having money troubles. The only option I got left
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: is to sell my beloved dog. So I'm just traveling
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: around town asking anyone that wants to buy him off me.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: He's in the car now. I'm sorry to hear that,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: says the regular. What are you asking for him? Five
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars? The man says, well, that's a lot of
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: money for a dog. Well, it's like a dog is
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: like a part of my family. He's the gentalist, sweetest
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: dog you've ever seen. He never barks unless there's an intruder,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: in which case he turns into the meanest mutt that
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: ever lived. And when he needs to go, he just
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: nudgs your leg once or twice, and then he'll sit
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: by the door and wait till you're ready to let
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: him out. My kids and wife love him and are
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: gonna hate me for selling him, but I just don't
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: have any other options. At this point, the regular says, well, geez,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: if the dog is that in it, I'll take him.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I'd be happy to help you out. A year later,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the walks into the bar again. This time the regular's
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: there again, but he screams, you you sold me that
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: good for nothing dog. He does everything. He poops all
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: over the house, he barks constantly. He tries to bite
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: my wife and kids every chance he gets. I swear
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: the day I bought that dog was the last good
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: day I've had. The man looks at the regular, smile
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: and says, mister, you're never ever going to sell that dog.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: If you keep talking about him like that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It's a joke about lying really if you think about it. Finally,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted to do a joke from our friend Taylor Wimson.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Taylor Williamson is a great comic out of LA. I
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: met him when I was filling my second dry bar.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: He was doing his dry bar that night, and he's
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: so great. He won, well, he came in second on AGT.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I think he won because the team that beat him
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: was a Japanese dog act on America's Got Talent, which
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: he does talk about in his shops. Yeah, but that
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: happens a lot. You know, they don't ever realize a
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: comedian fully win. They'll make you a finalist. But anyway,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Taylor's so good and he has one He has one
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: great joke. This was his opener on the drive Bar.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: He said, you know, you really go to shoot for
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: your dreams. You got to just stay positive. It's all
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: about perspective. When I started doing comedy ten years ago,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I had nothing. I had no prospects. I was really
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: struggling to pay my rent. And now just ten years later,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a more respected comedian than Bill Cosby. So that's Taylor.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: So this is a joke that Taylor wrote, and we'll
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: wrap up a joke about that with this one. He said,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I drove by a guy with a sign that said hungry,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: so I gave him my sandwich. I felt really good
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: about myself until I got home and I remember why
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I bought my sandwich. I'm not proud of this, but
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I drove back to the guy and I said, listen,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, but I'm gonna need that sign. I
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: just think that's such a funny. I think that's great.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Taylor's great. You follow him on follow him on Instagram
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: at at Taylor Comedy at Taylor Comedy. John. Let's wrap
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: it up with this week in history. We call it
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: talk about then do do dom John? Pope Clement the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: eighth was born this week fifteen thirty six, and the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: reason he makes the list is because he popularized quote
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Satan's drink. Do you want to guess what Satan's drink is?
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Coffee?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yes? Italian religious leader two hundred and thirty first Pope
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: from fifteen ninety two to sixteen oh five. He declared,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: did Pope Clement, this Satan's drink is so delicious that
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: it would be a pity to let the infidels have
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: exclusive use of it. That's almost like who was the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: guy that said, why should the devil have all the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: good music? Because now we started making our own rock
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and roll music in Christian culture, And that was the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: sentiment being, why should the devil have all the good music?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You know, God made all music. Why are we letting
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: them have all the electric guitars? So here was Pope
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Clement saying, hey, these infidels are having some fun with
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: this coffee.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Let's get a hawk up ourselves.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, what's better than a revitalized flock?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: You like that? He uh? He's responsible for the popularity
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: of coffee use among Catholics. Coffee was used previously, or
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: coffee use was previously discouraged because it was believed to
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: be the quote bitter invention of Satan due to its
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: use among Muslims. I didn't know that, so they thought
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: of it as a Muslim drink. And then these Catholics
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: were like, they got something over here. Yeah, they're streaming
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: hot water through veins and it's pretty good. Have a
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: sipp and well, let me know what you think. It's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: just like, yeah, crusades, that's my that's my pope cleming impression.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And I defy you, I defy you to find a
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: better pope cleming impression than that one.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It's everybody has a pope clem impression yours.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I like to think that people when they do a
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: pope clement, they're just doing my pope claim.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Well, right, They're just like, there's only one really, Yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It's a little Dennis Miller chip chip chip chip pip
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: okay John this week, UH February twenty, eighteen thirty seven.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: The first practical electric motor is patented by Thomas Davenport.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: This was the first US patent for an electric machine
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: eighteen thirty seven, Patent number one thirty two. That's when
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: you know it's an old when it's patent number one
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: thirty two.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: He used silk from his wife's wedding dress for insulation
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: for the wiring. Davenport was unable, however, to capitalize on
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: his inmension and died broke. There's a lot of those guys.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: That's why he makes the list because it's kind of sad.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: It's one of those like you make this thing that's
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: gonna end up changing the world, but you don't quite
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: ever get to see it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe that's like our podcast.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think when we're gone, they're gonna be like
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: those guys really were on they got it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: They probably made about three hundred too many, like we
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: get it after one hundred, but man uh And I
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: also use silk from my wife's wedding dress for this
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: podcast's no yeah, for insulation. It's in my it's inside
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: my hoodie right now in a weird way. John This
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Week nineteen eighty one, a nine year old bank robber
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: robbed a New York bank at gunpoint. Okay, he got
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: away with one hundred and eighteen dollars, but later surrendered
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: to the FBI. This made me look up this story
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: because that's all it had, So I looked it up
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: to see what happened and what's the story. Nineteen eighty one,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: nine year old boy named Robert. Doesn't say his full
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: name because it's probably sealed. He surrendered after using a
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: toy gun to rob a Manhattan bank. Quotes on rob
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: a case his lawyer argued was influenced by television crime shows.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: The New York Times reported the child was charged with
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: armed robbery and weapon possession in family court, the boy,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: described as four foot five inches tall, walked into New
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: York bank and demanded money. The weapon used was a
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: toy gun. His lawyer, mel A Sachs, argued that the
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: child did not have true criminal intent, but instead was
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: imitating behavior you saw on television shows like Adam twelve
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: in The Rockford Files. The case was handling and family
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: court were Penalties for such acts typically involved probation or
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: an extreme cases, confinement and a juvenile treatment facility. It
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: does not say what happened to the boy. That's what
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I was really looking for, is like what did he get?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I think it all got sealed and maybe it was
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: just like one of those like all right, he was
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: just being a knucklehead and no harm, no foul. He
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: could never really hurt anybody, was a toy gun, right,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: So what do you think about that? What if Sadie
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: had done something like that when she was nine? Would
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: you be like, I'll be a little upset. Yeah, it's embarrassing,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: you know, to make the paper. You're like, what kind
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: where are the parents?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Like I'm right here? Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't know.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It was my idea, I said one hundred and eighteen dollars?
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? If they didn't even pay the mortgage.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I wonder why they only gave him one hundred and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: eighteen dollars.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but this was did they know day one?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean this is.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I think I would have been like, but why give
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: him anything at all?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe maybe it was like that. Maybe it
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: was like one of those pellet guns that looks kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of real.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: You know, this is before they started putting the orange,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: so it probably did look really really.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: You know, this is before that you ever had that
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: pelagun that looked like a magnum p.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I my mom would let me have guns. We were
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: my mom was terrified of guns. Yeah yeah, we never
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: had BB guns. We were in a very nerve household.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I had BB guns and we have.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Were very you'll put your eye out kind of household.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably almost did out a few times. I think
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I got hit right here in the cheek mo one
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: time with a pelican with a BB gun. Yeah, would
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: have been bad.

  Speaker 2: up with that? The Roman candle?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: It is interesting.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: I wonder it maybe it was actually made in Rome,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: not like I don't know. They had fireworks in ancient times.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chinese, ancient Chinese fireworks as possible gunpowder was all.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: There's no way to know.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, because we used that's the thing was that
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: was gunpowder used for fireworks before it became a weapon weaponized.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I think it was.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I think it was like they probably didn't call it that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody figured out, oh, we can use this to
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: dominate other civilizations and win wars, kill people really more efficiently.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great equalizers.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: They were just celebrating with them, look at all the
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: fire in the sky, and then they're like, hold on,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I got an idea we should wipe out people.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a time when the size and skill
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: of the fighter mattered more and then all of a sudden,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: anybody with a gun could win a fight.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: So and guys, isn't that just like our lives?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Somehow I don't like it. I don't like it
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: one bit. John. Finally, this week in seventeen fifty one,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: the first performing monkey in the US. That's right, John,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: in New York City. Man charged a shilling to watch
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: a two foot tall monkey walk a tightrope and dance.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen What do you think about animal shows?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Because some people like they frowned. You know, it's like,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: now we know more about them. Elephants aren't really in
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: the circus anymore. Necessarily, there's a lot of Is it
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: a big deal for a monkey to walk a tight rope?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Was he being starved? Was he being coerced walked tight rope?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Was the wire electrified? We don't know what's going on.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I need more information.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's a very impressive trick, and you
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: should get your shilling back.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: But number two, how much was a shilling?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Was that worth a halfpence?
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: But it reminded me. I was in Gallenburg one time
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and I think I told you this and you didn't
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: believe me. And I literally found a photo of it today,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: so it's real. We'll put it on the we'll put
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: it on the video, okay. But I was in Gallenburg
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: walking around downtown. You know Callmburg's just a haven for weird's. Yeah,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: you know, there's sweet shops and there's the saltwater Taffic
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and then you go to some weird tourist trap thing
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: and there's the Ripleys. Believe it or not, you don't
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: know what you're there street performers every now and again. Yeah,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and it was just random starving people. And that's what
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: this was. It was a guy, he had a cup,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: he was begging for money, but he had a dog.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: On the dog's back was a cat, and on the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: cat's back was a rat. They were stacked up. It's
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: they were just dottack and they were just coming down
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the street. And I thought, nobody's gonna believe this story.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: And I've carried that memory with me and it's a
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: core memory picture. And so today I didn't have a camp.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: This was pre phone cameras. It was like the eighties,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: but I looked it up. There's a whole Reddit thread
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about it. The old dog cat They said, what's sad is?
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: They said that he sedates the cat and the rat.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: But the dog was normal. The dogs just like, sure,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: right on my back, fine, let's do it. But the cat.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: How would they have the information to know that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I think that somebody said, we've talked to him, you know,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: back in the day. Oh, I have to drug the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: other animals. But the dog's cool.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe the dog, maybe the cat in rats life is better?
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I think drug. The idea of it's the idea
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: of it sounds so cool. And we love those nature
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: videos where it's like a duck and a horse are
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: best friends, so like we're really primed for that whole height.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: There's a symbiosis in nature and humans have come in
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: and messed it all up, but really animals want to
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: be friends. So it makes you believe in that weird
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: utopia of like there's a rat riding on a cat
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: riding on a dog, Are you kidding me? That means
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: we can all get along. And what it means is
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: there's a heavy we all drunk each other. We can
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: ride on each other's back freedom.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's right there.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: We can all live in a utopia. Yeah, I'm sorry
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: about that, but it's real. I was not imagining it
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: because there's photos of it. But did you think you
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: were drugged for a while like that? I thought maybe. Yeah, Well,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those things you try to tell
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: people and they go, sure.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: You look over and there's a rat on your back.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like on top of it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where did I get this?
