  Speaker 1: Life audio.

  Speaker 2: Today, I'll talk about that. John wonders if trees are
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: weaker in the South and prepares for Y two K
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: with his dad. Meanwhile, I ponder getting a taser and thin.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Groucho Marx would have loved the new six to seven craze.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Lots of conversation about the sins that upset humans the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: most and whether they're the ones God is focused on.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Today's episode is not sponsored by spaghetti Sauce staining your
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: tupperware containers since nineteen forty six, but first award from
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: our actual sponsor.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we hope you're safe out there in the winter storms.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: But Johnny, we're in here and talk about that, ready
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to bring the relief people need. Have they been stuck
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: indoors for a.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Like real relief?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Like a lineman could? I think it's interesting that you
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: have linemen who are like saving your electricity and linemen
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: who are like football players who tech the quarterback.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of the person doing the electrical lines
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: referred to as a lineman.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, lineman, Like there's a big lineman. All the linemen
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: are working like eighteen hour shifts now and they're just
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: having a sandwich in their truck and they get back
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: out there and they do more because all these trees
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: have iced over and they fell over on the power lines.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I had someone today ask me they their husband was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: from Michigan, and she was so mad and she was like,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are all the trees down here just weaker?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Like everyone's trees in the south are just bent over,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and like we don't remember the trees in mad At
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the tree lost electricity for like four days. She has
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: little kids. She's like, what is wrong with y'all's trees?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Why can't the trees just be just not be so
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: exploding around here?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: If I put a thousand pounds of ice on your back,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I bet you'd huddle over.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Well, but there's ice all up north. Yeah, we need
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to ask our northern This is different.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Though maybe it is true like that the trees had
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it too good for too long. These trees aren't ready
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: for nothing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, they're just yeah little whimps.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And part of it's the wind because the weight and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: then the wind comes through and it just does the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: funnel man.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Isn't that just like some of y'all are ready for.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: The ice, but you ain't ready for the wind.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You built your house on ice instead of the rock. Wait,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: hold on the rock was icy? Yes, so you dug
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in the sand. I don't know what had happened. Was
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is that freezing rain coated every branch? I will say this,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it looks like the first Narnia movie.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It is crazy pretty, like when the sun shines right
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: through it, it's like diamonds in the trees.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And every branch is like its own little work of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: art discovered.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And then you pan back and that shiny branch is
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: laying across the power line and there's a family huddled
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in with no right inside. But the first the first scene,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: very pretty, very pretty. Yeah, well you had your j
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I was so excited for you because I was like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: John's going to get to use this generator. He gets
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to be a real man. And then your power came
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: on all too soon.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I used it for about i'd say fifteen hours.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Oh you didn't even get a full day out of it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It went off. It went out at like seven am. Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I had it ready.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You were like so glad because you bought it like
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: four days before, right, and you were like it's coming
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this It took some I gave you a little advice.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I said, don't do that, don't let this happen again.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: They go spend the money and get one, and then
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the next you sent me a photo later that you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: were like, I did it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It was like whatever, A thousand bucks or something more?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: What'd you spend?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say why. It was more expensive
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: than I thought it was. Should have been the deal.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I got a harbor freight take it back. So well, no, no,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: come on, you wouldn't.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Do that, that's true, But looking for general, you're gonna
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: need it again.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I got the inverter, which is quieter and safer than
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the generator.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Because it doesn't there's something about putting too much like
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: backflow into the line or something. It's dangerous for the linemen. Yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: because they talk about it. Yeah, people, if everybody's using generators,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: are something you're supposed to do to keep it from
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: sending a surge into the I wish.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I knew more about electricity, just say things. Although this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: time I did have to go through now and write
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: down all the wattage from each of the things I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: was using to make sure it didn't pass the load.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So that was kind of fun.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Something y'all need to share the load over here. By
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the way, John, if you'd like to share the load

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: We read them quite often, we do.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: People have been nice.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was on and I had I got one
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of those parabolic heaters. Okay, it looks like a basically
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it looks like a fan. Yeah, it's a metal plate.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't blow.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Oh did it oscillate at all?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It does oscillate. Yeah, an oscillating parabolic heater.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I think, big, like satellite dish thing. Yeah, and it
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: is bright, uh huh.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And so I put that up in my mom's room
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and then I put a little fan in front of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it because it did need some air circulation to get
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the heat out there. She was great up there. Yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but I have wires and I still, by the way,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not taken it down. I have cords gaff taped
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: all over the floor safely so they're not tripping hazards. Okay,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: across the kitchen, across wherever, and they're run through the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: house now. So if it happens again, because it's still
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: not above freezing right, so if something happens again, I'm ready.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, the generator is still out there.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Our buddy, our buddy, Brian Bates, lives in I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Belle Mead, West Nashville, and he hasn't been I didn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: know he's been without power for four days. So I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: see a video from him this morning. He's just like, yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: we're still without power. We've been in a hotel and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: now we're moving into Nate's house. So he's moved over
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to Neibourgainst. He's so like he's staying with Nate and
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: which that's got to be fun. I think Nate's not there.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Nate's in La so he's basically staying and Nate has
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a guest out, so I think he might be the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Nate's guest house. But all that said, I was like,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you could have stayed my house has been empty. Yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he could have just moved into but I don't know
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: if you can get to leven and he couldn't have
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: got to all the way to eleven from where he's at.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But that's it was.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It was sketchy, by the way, it still kind of skied.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They just called school for tomorrow.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it doesn't take much though, well, because I mean,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you have people in far flung areas. You have to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: be able to get everybody in. So if everybody's not
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: able to make it, you can't just say we're in. Yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you gotta wait till it's totally clear. We call church
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: tonight for the kids. Okay, So here, I didn't know
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you all had youth groups still on Wednesdays.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: When else would you have it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Some peopleink the rules of the university changed.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: We did Sunday Night forever. When you were a youth pastor.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Did you do Sunday Night in Alcoa? Yeah, but that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was were you a youth pastor then.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It was like twenty seven years ago.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Well, what's what's different?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: A lot's changed in your philosophy.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: The days of the week.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I do want I do think about how I would
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: do it differently now, like one I would know I.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Want, you just wouldn't do it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Would you get into youth ministry if you had to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: do it right now?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: No? Yeah, I mean it had to be scared, Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: because it's a I don't know, there is that feeling
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of I would love to create, and that's what our
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: youth pastors do so well. I would love to create
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a place of belonging for kids right now, because I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: know that's what they're missing. They always have, sure, but
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: kids feel like they belong less now than they ever
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: have before because the isolation factor of social media and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the lack of interpersonal communication skills because of it, so
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's only used to communicating online. Yeah, so creating that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: place would be fun.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I was thinking today about six seven, that whole phenomenon
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: about how kids are like waiting for someone to accidentally
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: say six to seven so they can and freak out
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and nobody knows what it means, including them, And I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: was thinking, I grew up I've talked about on the pod,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: but I grew up watching niked Knight and Nick at
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Night back then was old shows. They only had rights
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to like they had some children shows, you know, for
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: teenagers or thirteen year olds, fourteen year olds, but then
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: they had like no programming for like after midnight. It
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was just go dark. And so they put from like
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: midnight to like ten and ten am. They would put
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: on old properties that they had bought, like George Burns,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Gracie Allen, the Jack Benny Show. And one of the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: shows they did was You Bet Your Life, which was
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Gratcho Marx and Graucho Marx that it was like a
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: game show and they'd have people on this is the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: nineteen forties, I think, And so I'm watching it. I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a fourteen year old watching these black on maybe eleven
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: or twelve, watching these black on white shows with these
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: old guys in suits making like the oldest jokes. But
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it really informed my sense of comedy. But one of
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the things I thought about six seven was Graucho Marx
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: would have the word of the day that if somebody
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: accidentally said it this bird, well he would tell the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: audience beforehand, this little bird would come down from the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: ceiling on like a puppet bird, and he would have
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the word of the day would be like tomatoes or whatever,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and then he would would go back to the rafters.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And then if somebody accidentally said tomatoes or said it
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: in just one of their interviews or whatever or in
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: their answer or whatever, the burden the rumin it would
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: come down and people and people would freak out and
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I think the person would win money or I don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: know how it work, but I think six seven is
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the word of the day. It's a it's a it's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a little easter egg. Groucho Marx would be proud.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Just wrote about in the book with a Guy, because
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he talks about it. It's a it is a like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: culture belonging thing for that generation that they're trying to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have something that the older generation can't.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the minute we the reason it's starting to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: die is older people are doing it and it becomes
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: immediately uncool. You're doing it wrong.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I don't do the six seventh thing. Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't just not go. I don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: try to play uh huh. Now I'll listen to the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: same music with her. I'll listen to her music.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Well, part of that's like you just want to know
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: if it's awful, right, You want to know if it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: is something you know what I mean.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I never made a big deal about music. I'm just like,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, because everything out there is sexual, and you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'll say, wow, that was really sexual man,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that it had a great payh that's the point. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that's why I like it. She was reading to me
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the apology from Kanye West. Have you read the apology?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: No? And I knew that he's kind of off the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: rails now with the Nazism and the.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. She was like, she really wanted
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: me to hear it. Yeah, and I really didn't want to.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Hear She's a Kanye person.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: No, but she's just fascinating. It's just in the news
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: or in their world in the streams. Yeah, And I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: was just like, she was like, yeah, he put out
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he put out an apology. I was like, well, that's great.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: She was like, it's right here, I have it right here,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and I go, that's awesome.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: She's like his press secretary now.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: She kept she's just well, she just wants to know
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: what I would think about it. Uh huh. But I
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was actually fascinated. My wife speculates that probably not only
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: did some of their press people write it, but also
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: ai ai ye, but.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: He did it more sincere sinned, and then like it
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: keeps adapting it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He did I will say when I really you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, please read it to me. I'd love
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to hear it. When I finally did, the thoughts on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: mental health and bipolar disorder were really fascinating, and he
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: totally owned it. He was just like, the thing he
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: said was when you're in a manic state, you don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: know that you're in a manic state, and so everything
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you're saying feels right and real to you, and you think,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with everybody else? And the more they
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: tell you something's wrong with you, the less inclined you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are to believe.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: It right, because you get paranoid that they're just trying
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to control you or whatever.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: So he goes into the Hitler stuff and the other things,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't you know. He apologized to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Jewish people and apologies like, I don't you know, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: can't believe I sold Schwashtika t shirts and everything like,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm getting treated now.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: In fact that they sold even scar the.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Scary part, people who don't have bipolar disorder bought them.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: That's the scary part of influence, I think.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: But hey, it's okay. This guy said it's okay. Finally, Well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and that's.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The that's sort of like the that's why I didn't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: want to hear it in some way. It's just like
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give energy to things. But then
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I had that thought of like, what do we really
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: want from people?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We want them to repent, we want them to say
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they were wrong, And here's a guy trying to say
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: is wrong. So yeah, I do think.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That that's true. Like, if somebody's into extremism, which we
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: have a lot of people in the country, they're into
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: extremism right now, and you give them zero off ramp
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to a normal life, you're just driving them further into
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the extremism. Right. If you just like no, you're forever
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: dead to me because of this belief, it's like, well
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: now they just are going to be more deeply entrenched. Right.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's one of those Andrew's really good at that. In it,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: he'll talk about how radical true Christianity really is because
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it does always have right an off ramp to grace
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: or on ramp. I don't know what tramp we're doing
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: here on the metaphor. But but it's towards people that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: none of we all have some fact that that's what
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: my quotes is about today a little bit. But we
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: all have somebody that we don't want to get grace.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think I am not somebody for some people.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're not somebody for me.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: This's awkward. That's why I want you to have it
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: just not now, John, you know you to have that
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a word from a few of our fine sponsors. Do
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you like that segue?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: That was a flawless You can really tell we've turned
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: into pros. Oh yeah, I mean it's only been three
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety episodes.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Took this long figure it out?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Do you do you realize I can't think of many
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: things that have three hundred and ninety hours worth of content.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Too. Well, it's not been full hours as last few
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: we've we've kind of shaved it down to forty five ors,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: maybe some couple of thirty eight ers. Okay, but yes,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of time. It's a long time to talk.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It is. Do you ever wear we're going to run
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of things to say?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's all right.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't worry about repeating stories as much because sometimes
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it's like I.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Learned that can they remember we told the story?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Being a pastor, I'm like, don't have the guys, if
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you're if you're in ministry out there, Yeah, learn from
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the old guy who's telling you that you don't have
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to worry about repeating things all the time because they
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: don't remember remember everything you saw.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: We believe you care, dear listener. Yeah, but but you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: also give us grace because you're like, oh, I've heard this,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: but I hope they tell it again. Maybe another little
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: detail will emerge.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: By the way, if somebody asked about the parking lot Beanie, yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the last that's right episode.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And you said you thought you had it with you,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: but you didn't.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I have it right here.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Look at that right here. But parking lot Beanie lives
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it got John's a poor person.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I left it somewhere the other day that panic. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and I ran back in and it was gone, my baby,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that was my panic breathing. And I ran back in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't find it. But the waitress had it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and she had been running out the door trying to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: find me. Like, yeah, it was like it was like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a movie. It was like an old Tom Hanks Meg
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Ryan movie. Yeah, anyway, I have the beanie still.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So, so you're buying a five thousand dollars generator, but
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: you need a trash being.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars, it was fifty hundred dollars. Yeah, it
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: was way more than it was, like twelve hundred gators.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's like to surprise you found one. Honestly, well, I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: got there. People were there were guys like, give me
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to me. There were guys like me hovering on the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: on the.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Phone while they brought them.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Because we're all trying to go okay, because I'm doing all,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Me and Claude are having lots of conversations.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, nobody wants to hear this. John, that's your conversation
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: with AI. What are you doing?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Because hey, Claude, how many watts does a refrigerator pull?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Or whatever? You know? And then I'm doing the math.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But you always say that Claude makes stuff up. You're
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: about to electricate yourself. Chat makes stuff up. You don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: think Claude Rock definitely makes stuff up. You don't think
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Claude is being corrupted. Clode is the least of the evils.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Am I speaking? Am I speaking to Claude right now,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have you been assimilating into the borg.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Claude is more trainable. Claude would never lie up, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: never not a sponsor. It joins me about that time, though, Oh,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: let's do it. It's my quarter of the week. It's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a segment we call. They talked about that. I'm going
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Clive Staples. I don't even care Clive Staples. Lewis can't
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: beat it. He says. If anyone thinks that Christians regard
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: unchastity as the supreme vice, he is quite wrong. The
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: purely spiritual, the pleasure of putting other people in the wrong,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of bossing and patronizing, and spoiling sport and backbiting, the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: pleasures of power of hatred. For there are two things
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: inside me competing with the human self which I must
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: try to become. They are the animal self and the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: diabolical self. The diabolical self is the worst of the two.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That is why a cold, self righteous prig who goes
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: regularly to church may be far nearer to Hell than
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a prostitute. But of course it is better to be neither.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's good. I talked about that before. When I
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: do churches on Sunday, I say that I think that
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: self righteousness is a bigger problem in the church and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: unrighteousness because unrighteous people like at least know they need
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a savior. You can't reach a self righteous person. They
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: don't know they need the life preserver. They're like, I'm
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: good and they're drowning.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, people always ask me in ministry, what's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the unforgivable sin? Right? What does it mean to blasting
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Almost they want to know who's in and who's out, Like,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: that's the thing we don't know what that circles and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: make sure we're on the inside.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Well, but most people, I always to me, blastering the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is not just speaking against the Holy Spirit.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I think there's two things. I think one it's attributing
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the work of God to the enemy. One saying I'm
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: not even sure that's what blasting the Holy Spirit means.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's one way to speak really badly against you.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You're calling the things of God evil, right, You're well,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I mean you're saying kindness is bad and evil. Right,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: You're saying empathy is bad and evil. I'm not calling
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that blasphemy, but.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: But it's in the ballpark in the spirit.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: It's completely against anything scriptural, you know. But I think
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the other thing, though, the more practical side of that,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: is the only way to not receive grace is to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: not receive grace, meaning you you never come around the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: place rejection of it. Right, Yeah, you say, I don't.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I don't need that, I don't want that. That's not
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: for me. And so I think, like this idea, I mean,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this is pretty I think scandalous what he's saying.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty crazy to say it when he
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: said it too, when everybody was moralizing and even more
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: so than than now, even like the bad idea of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: like moralizing it and judgmentalism of like prostitution, like he
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: mentions prostitution, he meances, you know, sinse of the flesh.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And he was saying, like most of the worst ones
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: are like thinking that you're better than another person.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Or well, it's like I always tell my friends in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: recovery who were drug addicts or whatever. When I was
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: going through was like, the things that you are recovering
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: from are not even listed in the Bible, I mean,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: alcoholism would have been, but we didn't have heroin or
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: whatever at this point the principles there, I get it right,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: but it's not mentioned. But the things I'm in recovery for,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: like three or four of them are on the list
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of things that God hates, my pride, the suspicious eyes,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the way I see the world. I mean, I mean,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you know one of the things that I came out
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of recovery with. They said, worry is not responsibility, worry
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: is sin. We start thinking about just worrying being sinned,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but in the sense of again you have to identify
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: or not redefine sin. But most people think of sin
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: as the stuff that C. S. Lewis just talked about, right, Oh,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: sin is when you, you know, consciously make this choice
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to do this thing, as opposed to the condition of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: sin right in the fallenness of the world being something
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that you really can't escape from. You wake up in
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: a cloud every day. You're you're in the cloud, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you're breathing in the things that are in that cloud.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And so that's why we need a savior constantly, not
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: just to save us from this committed, intentional thing, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: also the state of it, And I think when sin
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: gets boiled down to just the things we do and
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: not the place that we live, the fallenness around us.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not, you know, dismissing the things
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that we do or saying those things don't matter. I'm
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: just saying, you can go all day today and not
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: do any of those things that you're worried about doing
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and still not be free from sin, because it's a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: much bigger problem than just your choices, or we wouldn't
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: have needed the Savior. Can You can't get it through commandments,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like you're obeying everything.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking on the road this weekend. One
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of the other comics is looking buy like a taser
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: for his wife. They live in New York City, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: he's like, I'm trying to buy a handheld taser and
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: then he goes, well, you got to get close to
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: somebody to do that, and you don't want to be close,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that's the idea. So and you got to remember that
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: you have it. You got to remember how to use
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: it so you don't actually taze yourself. Like it's a lot.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: He was like, I would tell her to get pepper
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: spray too, And then he started talking about pepper spray
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: as like, but you don't you don't want to ever
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: use it in a confined area like a subway car,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: because you've pepper sprayed everybody, Like even if you hit
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: your mark, it consumes the entire area. Now you if
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you're in an elevator. So it's like, I think that's
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: what happens. Sometimes we think we're doing like we're prescribing justice,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to like deliver it, but we realize that,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: like we've changed the entire area. You got to know
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: you're doing the right thing. You've now changed the room
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: with this thing that you may have missed the mark
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: on or whatever. It's like, I don't know. It just
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: made me think. And also it made me think, do
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I need to get a taser? Like that's the other thing.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: It made me think, do I need a taser? Now?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think it's a By the way,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: my wife showed me this video and it was from
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like a a middle school basketball game. I think, yeah,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And there's these two guys calling the game somewhere in
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: the South, and so they're they're on the radio or
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the TV or the YouTube channel or whatever. They're calling
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the game and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, have you seen this?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And he's so calm too, and.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: They're like they know all the people because it's a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: small town or whatever. Middle school, yeah, and so they
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: know them and they're they're calling and like the police
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: are there, the whole deal, and I think, I'm sorry, honey,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you told me the story, but it was something the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: effect to the effect of that one of the moms
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: went out did something and got pushed by one of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the coaches or something, and so then the dad comes
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: out of the stands because now they're hurting the kid
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that the mom came to help, and now they're pushing
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the mom, and.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: He The first part of the video is just kids
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: falling into frame and then everything starts happening, So you
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: don't really know what what set it all off. You
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: just know that like, now it's chaos, and the guy
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: goes this game is over.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: They kept saying, and then they were like, what's a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: guy's name?
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Ryan?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan has got tased out of tazed Ryan, this game's over.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: But he says it's so calm, like, yeah, foul on
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the play.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I just tased, right, I just I think tasing well
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the go by the way Ryan went down like a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: sack of dirt.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And the guy just kind of walked up to him
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and did it. It was like I wanted to see what
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: did he swing on him? What happened that. He's like, nope,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you're going down like done. We did he say something?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: It's crazy because again, you lose all control of your
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: limbs and everything else.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I think if you had a tas that's the hard
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: thing about like gun culture and taser culture. If there
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is a taser culture, it's like once you have the thing,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you're saying it's to protect you, but then a male
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: brain starts being like you want it. It's like the generator.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Now you're almost looking for excuse to use it. Yeah,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you're like part of It's like I'm protecting
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: myself from this horrible thing. But also you start having
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: these weird like again, I'm not a gun guy, so
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: people are gonna shout chop, try to clap me down.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: But I know a lot of gun guys that their
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: fantasy is being able to use this gun. No, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: mean the fantasy is like something will happen. I'll be
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: in burger king somebody. I'll come and try to rob
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the place. I'll save the day. You go, he just
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: order your burger, dude, Like, yeah, and again, I'm glad
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: for those people if it does happen. Okay, I'm glad.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that have been stopped by
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a good guy with a gun. I get all that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: But it's like, I've known a lot of people that
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: should not have guns, and they almost have like a fantasy.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: So I think that's what happenss Taser guy was like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: this is my time, this is my time.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: No, you know, I think one of the things, because
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I have a handgun permit, yeah, and all
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the all the things. I think one of the questions.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: You took training and stuff. It wasn't just like after
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the new law where everybody can have one in tennis.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: That's correct. I already had it and I keep renewing it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Mine's lifetime, though. Oh well, I think one of the questions,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: even when your vision goes and your mind goes, you're
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be a like, look, anybody can any But I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: think that one of the questions you should have to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: answer is do you ever want to use this firearm?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Because anyone I know to your point, who is a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: good guy with a gun hopes they know you ever
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have to use it, right, They're not like, I can't
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: wait for this to go down.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Again, I sound ignorant because
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I mean I'm not a guy who ever like went
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: out to go get a gun, and I'm just not
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: excited by guns. But and I get that we need
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: even hunting and stuff. I used to have like such
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: an issue with but now I realize, Okay, wow, if
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: we didn't have people at harvest these deer, they would
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: just be running around and getting you know, the traffic
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: would just be just be hitting deer every five minutes
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: because it's just too many. I get it. So I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: get to some ideas are a little backwards. But also
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I do know a lot of people who are like
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: they can't wait for their moment yeah to do this
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: weird you know, revenge fantasy on the world, or they
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: hope the apocalypse happened so they can be the only prepared.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: One I do think about because we have to prepare
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: for things in a church world. Yeah, and we have
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: security measures and all those things in place, But there
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: is that thought if there was a gunman that I
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: think about all the other people who will suddenly become
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: gunmen to try to stop the gunman. Yeah, you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and how dangerous that that I'd rather have them Yeah
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: in that moment, but.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Net but they've never shot it before.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They well, and that's what they do teach you in
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the classes. They're like, look, in a moment where you're
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: really having to use this, even trained officers and soldiers
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and others with a handgun in particular, they hit their
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: mark like maybe ten percent in a moment where it's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: like you're shaking, you you're you're basically in shock. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: so it's not like you just can't grab your faculties,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you know, and be able to say anyway, I.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Hate when people grab my faculties. John, I don't know
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: how this ended up doing a gun conversation from your quote,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but it's a good quote. I like the idea of
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: like what we think of as being like the deadliest
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: sins or whatever, like, don't we don't really know. It's
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the thing. It's like we have to admit there's a
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: mystery to God and some of the things that really
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: tick us off and that we focus on when we
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: really like look in the scriptures, you go, man, I
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: wonder why God didn't focus on this as much as
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: we are, like we we kind of sometimes we feel
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: like we lose our way sometimes in the weeds.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: And I think that the part for me is that
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the thoughts in the language matter to God. Think about
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: what the Bible says in James about the person who
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: can control their tongue is in control of their entire life,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: basically their whole body.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: And I would say now would be that would extend
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: to keyboard. You control your keyboard. Now we don't talk
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: as much. There's things we say on the keyboard we
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: would never say in person. But it does damage even
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: more so. Yeah, it's forever.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: But your communication, what comes out of you, That's what
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: even Jesus said, it's what comes I know people make
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a joke with this, but it's what comes out of
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a person that defiles them. What he's saying is is look,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: what you actually say is the thing that matters, right,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And that's why I'll tell Sadie all the time. Like,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and I was counseling someone the other day and they
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: were really strugglings, like, well, you don't know all the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: thoughts inside that I don't act on. And I was like,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that's great. Having temptations is not a sin. When you
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: don't act on them, then you one, that's what you're
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: supposed to do. Yes, should you struggle, should you try
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: not to think on those things, or whatever, But when
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: someone was doing something to you and you had horrible
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: thoughts and you chose something different, then what came out
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of you was the right thing. Because of course we
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: all are tempted to do those things. But I always
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: tell you probably heard me say this before, but specifically
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: when it comes to like cuss words, which is a
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: big Christian thing. Right, I'm not pro cussword, okay.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But you're pro at it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: But the idea that we curse people by just using
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: colloquialisms or slaying right versus actually, as he says, bossing, patronizing,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: putting people in the wrong, spoiling sport, backbiting, power, hatred.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: You know, almost all those are worthless without words. They
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: wouldn't work without words.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Those Gossip is not delicious without words. No, the reason
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: gossip is so prevalent is because it's yummy, its morsel it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a way to paint yourself and
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: good light by tearing somebody down in private, and it
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: just it's uh, it's a problem. It's a problem for
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, and they think they're in the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: right because they go, well, we look, this isn't real.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: It is real.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I try to surround myself with friends
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: that because I really don't trust myself. And like, there's
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: some things I've been going through lately or talking about lately,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and you're on this list of people that I trust
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that I've said to you today, if you see me
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: going down a path here that I shouldn't go down,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: how would I know someone's got to You know, I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: told my other buddy today, is like, dude, punch me
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in the stomach a little bit, like someone wake me up,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: because I'm doing the best I can, but my best
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I've learned.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you put t shirts on your website that
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: have I'm going to call you out, like why is
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: John selling well teacher to say, what have schwastikas on it?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, you know what, I think John's lost
• 29:51

  Speaker 1: That would be.

• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Johnny's old jokes. We call it joke
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: about that. I heard this one. I don't have it
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: written down, but I heard this one at the comedy club.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Then I was doing my Johnny and Friend show, which
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: is coming up February eighteenth, my last one. I've been
• 30:21

• 30:23

• 30:33
  Speaker 2: good one. I try out new materially a lot on
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: those shows. They're fun. But I was at the last
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: one and my buddy Dan Whitehurst was there and he
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: was we were talking about old jokes, and he said
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: he heard this one and it was a guy's at
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: a job interview and he said, well, there's a pretty
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: big gap. There's a four year gap in this resume.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Can you talk about that? And he goes oh, I
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: went to Yale and they go, oh, well, okay, that's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: pretty good. And he goes, well, let me write that down.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: That puts you in ther you're pretty much end. I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: didn't know that. And he was like, oh, thank goodness,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I really need this job. It's pretty good. I love it. John,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: A man tells his doctor, ever since you prescribe me
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: those sleeping pills, I've been able to relax. Finally, the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: doctor responds, glad to hear you're only taking one per night, right,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And he goes, oh, I'm not taking them. I'm been
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: giving them to my wife. All right. Guys, listen, that's
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a joke. Please don't give your wife don't poison. Come on,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and finally John a final exam to become the detective Detective.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The Chief Commissioner gathers the three remaining candidates and presents
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: them with a final test. They must look at a
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: suspect smugshot for just a few seconds, and then explain
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: how they would recognize that suspect in the crowd. The
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: first candidate comes in, the commissioner shows him the photo
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: and after a moment, he says it's easy. The suspect
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: has only one ear and one eye, so he's easy
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: to spot. The commissioner says, are you stupid, that's a
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: side photo. Get out of here. The second guy comes in,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: sees the photo and after a few thinonds it's easy.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: The suspect has one ear one eye, so he's easy
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: to distinguish in a crowd. The commissioner says, you're an idiot, too,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: get out of here. The third enters. The commissioner wants
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: to be careful because the others were really unqualified. He
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: shows the photo to the third candidate, who thinks from
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: moent and says, the suspect wears contact lenses. The commissioner
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: is amazed because he doesn't even remember if the suspect
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: actually wore contact lenses, so he goes to check the records.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: He confirms it's true. Then he returns to the candidate
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and says, congratulations, you're a detective. I just have to ask,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: how did you know that he wore contact lenses. The
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: candidate replies, well, with only one ear and one eye,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: it's hard to wear glasses.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I love a good stupid guy. Joe something about it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: That's what I never heard identify with the stupid guide Joe,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I went to Yale.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: That's so funny. John, let's do this week in history.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: We call it talk about then John. This Week nineteen
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: thirty and an invention that you may use every day.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Scotch tape. Okay, it's a big one. Three M markets
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Scotch tape. It was created by a three M engineer,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Richard Drew, who had created masking tape in nineteen twenty five.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: This guy was, Wow, this is a real yeah the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: tape Jedi. Yeah, well, unbelievable. Uh, there's a guy who
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: does this. Our friend Paul Aldrich does a song about
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: duct tape. It's all about how duct tape has all
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: these uses and he says there's a dark side and
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: a light side, so it's like the force that holds
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: everything together. So what you said, he really is a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Jedi if he invented anyway, because duck tape has a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: dark side and the alizes set. Anyway, he created a
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: masking tape nineteen twenty five. Then he made a transparent
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: version of it in nineteen thirty. The tape dispenser was
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: developed by THREEM engineer John Borden in nineteen thirty two.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: So there was two years where you had to just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: pick up the roll like a fourth visit. Yeah, that
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: was Those were the dark ages of tape.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: They really were. I mean, do you have when you
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: can't find the edge of a tape? It is there's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: nothing more frustrating. Yeah, and I don't have nail. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: bite my nails, so I got nothing. I gotta have help. Yeah,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I got I got a.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Phone a friend.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Do you try to see it or feel for it both?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to dig around, but again, no nails. Yeah,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: it's it's a disaster.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I tell you, we talk about the real issues here.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about that. This is guys, if you're out there.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I wonder why it was called Scotch tape. It doesn't
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: say I wonder why I was gonna ask you. It
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: has a little like plaid logo there and so or
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the Paisley whatever it is.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: The little Scotch to buy their tip by the hundreds
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and thousands. Look at me, Scotch tip.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: My photo fell down. I don't know. It's a really
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: bad that's stupid. I apologize to anybody. Mitch Heedburgh great
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: communities to have a bit about how he wanted to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: get a map of the world, and then put pins
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: everywhere he would visit. But he goes. But first I
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: got to visit the four corners of the earth so
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: that the map doesn't fall down. That's good, Mitch Hedberg.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: He shall be missed, John. This week is a groundhog
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Day coming up, and there's a little history of groundhog Day.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: If the groundhog's uses shadow on February second, expect six
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: more weeks of winter. We know that the tradition derives
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: from its burrow on this day sees its shadow due
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: to clear weather, it will retreat to its dend, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: winter will go on for six more weeks. If it
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: arrive early. They brought the tradition from Germany, substituting a
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: groundhog for the German tradition of a badger. Did not
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: know that in Germany it was badger Day. And the
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: tradition itself may be derived from the lore that clear
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: weather on the Christian Festival of Candleness, which I did
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: not know was a thing, forebodes a prolonged winner. Punk Satanni,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania began its annual celebration in eighteen eighty seven. I
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: did not know that had gone on that long. That's
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: a long time for punk Satawani Phil, which it now featured.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know when Punkstoni Phil got intern into, but
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Punkatoni Pensylvania has been celebrating annually eighteen eighty seven. Wow,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: and on John this week finally twenty sixteen. Did not
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: know this story. This is a wild one. This is
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: one of those like the punishment kind of fits the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: crime stories. A terrorist was sucked out of a plane
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: that he was trying to hijack. A suicide bomber set
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: off a bomb in Dahlia Airlines Flight one fifty nine,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes after it took off from Magadushu, Somalia, en
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: route to Djibouti City. The bomb created a hole in
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the side of the plane, which sucked out the bomber.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Several others were injured, but the bomber was the only
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: one killed. So he's trying to blow off the plane.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: What he sucked out when the explosion of the bomb.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: He was a suicide bomber. Yeah, he was a suicide bomber.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I was trying to kill everybody on the ball.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Wasn't the bomb attached to him when the bomb have
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: killed him before he was sucked out of the plane.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to look hold on. I think he was.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: The bomb was placed somewhere in the head.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: He didn't have it, honest.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he wasn't killed by the bomb. Evidently he
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: was killed by the hole and he was sucked out
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: of the hole, is what this led me to believe.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: It's believe that the bomb was time to go off
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: when the plane was in mid flight at a higher altitude,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: but the plane had been delayed, causing the bomb to
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: go off before the plane could reach a cruising altitude.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: If it had gone off a cruising altitude when the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: plane was fully pressurized, it would have killed all on
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: board likely. So so next time your flight's delayed, be like, hey,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: maybe we don't know what we're being right, come on, Yeah,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: sometimes you need to take a minute look at the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: shiny tree limbs around you and be like, hey, this
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: is by being stuck in this house with all these
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: crazy kids.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Just trying to find the
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: books some flights the other day. Yeah, I'm confused now
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: by flights by Southwest has changed everything.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if how
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to pay for the bag or not. No, you do
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: unless you have the Southwest card. How did you get
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: one free? You have the card, you get one free.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I had to book some Delta get too free because.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Status or whatever status. I want to go sit in
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: one of the airport lounges.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Oh have you never No? No, I've had Southwest is
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: building lounges.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I had a meeting in an airport lounge for a
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: book one pretty good feeling. I did not get back.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: How did you get in though? If you're not a
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: did they have a voucher?
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So this is one of my This is a Robert
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Walgemuth story. Yeah, my agent had just passed away. Yeah,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: it's just amazing.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Guy.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: We were meeting a guy in Nashville Airport. He took
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: me to the counter and yeah, he got me a
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: pass to just go through security, right, but not to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: get on a plane. And then we went in and
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: had the meeting inside.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: But to get into the lounge. They have another voucher
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: that you have to use because I get like five years.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I think he might have unlimited if.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly. When we walked in the door, they
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: were like.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well, sometimes do you scan your ticket and
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: they know your name from the ticket that you think
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: even before the tickets.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I would go places with him and he was the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: kind of guy that they knew who he was.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to be that guy.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: There's appealing about it, but then there's like yeah, because
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: then like if you whatever.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: If you get in the lounge, I'm fine with it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Like Dave Ramsey us to talk about that about how
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: he tips third at every meal even if the service
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: is bad, because he doesn't want everybody to have a
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Dave Ramsey story even if the service is awful. He
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: would like to send them a message of being like, well,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: this is not tippable. But he said, I can't have
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: somebody to be like Dave Ramsey's a terrible tipper. So
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: everybody's going to get at least thirty percent from Dave Ramblin.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: And it's true. You get to a level of fame
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: where it's like you're going to have a Meryl Streep
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: story if you see her yelling at her kid in
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: car line at school. Now everybody thinks MARYL. Streep is
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a monster. So you just you have to be on
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: your best behavior at all times.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: That's why again, I keep myself under the radar. Yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I can act like I must. I can yell at
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: your kid. Nobody has to know.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: You can see John at your local car line screaming
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: that a seventeen year old.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I do have those those fearful fantasies of getting right
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: up on someone being upset in traffic, and then we
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: all pulled on the same church. Oh yeah, Sunday morning.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I think that happened to me one time.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Oh boy.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think I was like major, but I was frustrated. Yeah,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and then we all pull in. I'm about to go
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: preach the messageway.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: And want that preach. Sometimes you're mad at the person
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: and they're going to the same place you Heaven. We
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: hope we're all going to heaven. Yeah, you're a pretty weird.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe you ought to just calm down. Huh Yeah, Yeah,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: maybe that's a lesson you need to take to heart
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: for yourself. I think that's one of them.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I felt like that was for everybody else.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine too.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: It's I don't really take things to heart for me
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: because I don't really need them. You know what I'm saying.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I think somebody's about to get sucked out of their
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: own plane, if you know what I mean. John's got
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: a bomb meant for other people, and sometimes.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: It's a weird metaphor.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: He's headed to jibouty C.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: It's a stretch.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: It's a stretch. Really Okay, Well, I thought that was
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: a great show. I don't know.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for the new mic if you're watching it

• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Well they have the kids burger.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: That's sorry, but you're not really supposed to order that.

• 41:33
  Speaker 2: You'll get there.

  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: It just takes a lot of money. You got money, No,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you spend it on.

  Speaker 2: But yeah, I did keep Facebook, Marketplace sell the generator,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: can't kin.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Actually, my neighbor got this known and I'm about to
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: have it done. Did you know you can easily have
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: someone come wire your house with a little extra panel
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: where you just plug your generator right into the side
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: and then you just you just pick which.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Uh pick which ones you want to run?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: You know, which had the circuit break.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Which family members you want to leave in the cold.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: You're like, hey, maybe you should have been nicer than.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe I just move your circuit breaker.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of control. Yeah, John's making a
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: little death star at the house.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: So much easier, though're running all those cords and came, well.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: That doesn't sound easy, you go, it's so it's an
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: easy panel at an extra pan, it's probably thousands of dollars.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: No, I heard it wasn't really well my well, my
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: neighbor had it done for not that I need to reasonable.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: So well, we need to look.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: You know, these generacs cost like ten grand.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: We need a sponsor that's like one of those into
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: the World sponsors. Like because I used to like hear
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: those commercials on sports talk radio, these people with.

  Speaker 1: uh my brother who lives in Texas, Wes who's a
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: mutual friend, Yeah, of yours is well love West. Wes
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: was reminding me that my dad, who he had a
• 42:55

  Speaker 2: a lot. You have explosives on your it's a lot
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: of gas.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he had to.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Be outside smoke and talking about it. Man, you think
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: it's a myth. These computers are.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Crazy you know what we were doing on the Why
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: two K? No, we were playing a show in oak Ridge, Tennessee.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: At the mall.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Yep, it was like a late night at the mall.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Didn't they have generators and stuff in case it went out? Yeah,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that's a full circle moment right there for the show.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: And then nothing happened and here we are.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, were you disappointed?
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's the same thing as the
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: gun thing. It's like, you do you sort of go, well,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: we did all this. You feel a little foolish if
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: you never get to use your generator that you had
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: or the you had all these and I'll be the
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: prepared one. I'm the one who But.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be the generation that cried why
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: two K? And then when it really happens. Yeah, you
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, you gotta the people who.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Cried why two K? There were books, there were experts,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: there were white twok experts. It's like a whole cottage
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: industry of people who were making money on the fear
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: of this thing, and then when it didn't happen, it's like,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: guess I'll get a job at Low's. I don't know
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: what you do after that, you.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Just like those people took your money from the books and.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah there were crop circle people that were like crop circles,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and then you find it, Oh, it's hoaxed, like five
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: guys and this is how they pull off the hopes
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: of crop circles. It's not aliens. And then you're like, oh,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I wrote a whole book about why it has to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: be aliens.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I do have to say this.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: You think crop circles are real?
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Some of them, I don't know what they are.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: But no, I'm saying like they were all faked.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: There's like a god crop circles are fake.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is New Star very fake. But I
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: mean again, there's gonna be websites that say that that's
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: been to be debunked too, And then they're.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Gonna roll your eyes at this. Okay, sure, but do
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: you ever watch The Curse of Oak Island? Really he
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: rolled his eyes. So they first you think this is aliens.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no. They have like real archaeologists now
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: on the show. In the beginning, they don't think they
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: had the real ones. But it's gotten so much. Just
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: like twelve seasons end, they have found a lot, They
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: found lots they've not found a lot of treasure per se, right.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: But because buried treasure is kind of one of those
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: things too. That's a myth too about like pirates Burier.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Well, they're making a map to it, so so a
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: lot of them spent their treasure to deal with this
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: pirates And this is where you're going to. It's not
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: really pirate treasure. Oh okay, this is where I was
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: rolling my eyes for a long time.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, while you watched Six Seasons.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: This is they think it is the Night's Templar. Oh
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: brought things from Europe during the Crusades, basically to store
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: priceless religious treasures. Basically this is coff which that's what
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I would think. But they have found I'm going to say,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: hundreds thousands of archaeologically verified things from anywhere from the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: twelve hundreds all the way to like the seventeen hundreds
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: before the discovery of whatever the first little pit was
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: they were doing. I'm talking there's a swamp, yeah, and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: when they dig in it and drain it, they have
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: found huge road systems built.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Oh so you think there's like a ox shoe society.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And they found all these chains. Something heavy was pulled
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: through on this small, little tiny island. They found Roman coins,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Roman coins, a bunch of British coins,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: and seventeen hundreds a bunch of like like that's the deal.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: And then underground, this is the crazy part. Two hundred
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: feet underground. This was in one of the early seasons.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: They found human bone and they used the science to
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: trace it to like thirteenth fourteenth century. One of the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: bones was from Europe and one was from Africa. It
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: was the Middle East and of their genetic descent. So like,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: you don't get somebody's bone two hundred feet underground, you
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Johnny.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: So I believe, like there's stuff we don't know.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I do believe there was a nice templar and this
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: they'll bring real scholars on and this is what they've not.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: This is what really turns me a little bit is
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, whatever, And then they'll sit with some
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: historian who has spent their whole PhD career studying the
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Knights Templar or whatever, and they're going, no, this is
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: here's there and they and they travel to Europe too,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and they'll go to like here's the prison where they
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: locked up the Knights Templar, and here's the sibnals they
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: put on the wall. It's all there. Yeah, but it's
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: all so mysterious sounding. It's been like and it's intentional.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: It's a secret society but right, but it's it's like
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: you don't know what to shrug off and want to go, Well,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: these were real people. I just don't know what all
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: that they do into a secret society just once nobody Yeah,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: like the Mason's never approached me, No one's ever. I
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe we're just comedy, is the closest thing I have
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: to a secret society of like people who do the
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: same thing, and they're like, but we don't. We're all
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: like jealous of each other and we don't share.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: You don't really have any writer friends. That's not true.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I have friends that right, but I use a write
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: for them or whatever with them. I don't have anybody
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that does what I do per se. Very few like
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Collaborator the Rights Templar. I apologize the show on that note.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: No I liked it. John's in a secret society of writers.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: We need like a secret podcast society.
