  Speaker 2: and tell you the tale of the unfamous third man
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to walk on the moon, tell us a conversation about coincidence, providence,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and all the things we thought we wanted but are
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: glad we didn't get. Today's episode is not sponsored by

  Speaker 2: movie theaters. Way more expensive than watching at home, but
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: you also get to sit next to loud strangers. But
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: first award from our actual sponsor.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: What's up out there? I'm John with Johnny to talk
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: about that. We're back.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Sorry about missing last week. I was your fault. It
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was on both of us. Well, I mean I was gonna,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: but you were like, you know, you went to pretty
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: haggard though of you want to take the time Gulf Shores.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: It felt to me like exactly what you're doing now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: and that is you didn't want to do it because
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you were busy, but you're gonna let me take the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: fall for it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And guys, I think Johnny and I we came to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the show to tell they let you know that there
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is a great rift between.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Us, A mighty chasm, a great chasm.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I told some another day. You know what
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: bugs me the most about the New Testament?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into it. What really really gets me?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And to this day it's a small font because you're
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: so old.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: These red letters randomly.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: No, it bugs me that Paul couldn't get along with
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the Son of Encouragement like that, that their disagreement was.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So what does it say sharp that they no longer
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Son of Encouragement. That's how I feel like.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Like again in this relationship, I feel like I would
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: be the Barnabash and you would be the Paul. I mean,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you have the famous one. No one ever knows who
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I am. You know all those things, And I wonder
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: when the Paul Barnos moment's coming.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: When you're gonna be like, I just I can't do
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it anymore and you're done.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: John's got a new chunk in his hour. Just was
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: out with John Christ and he's got a new chunk,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: talking about like we need to start spicing up these
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Bible stories with different titles. And he was like, because
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I read him now with fresh eyes, and he was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: talking about Joseph and the brothers, and he was like,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the brothers all pulled in. Joseph's like, this is my
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: most favorite son, and all the brothers are like really,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: he was like, and the brothers hatred grew towards Joseph.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'm starting to side with the brothers.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: He's like yeah. He goes to get the fancy codes
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: like how many sons you got twelve? How many coats won?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Like that is this whole thing. So it's just a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: funny like yeah, but yeah, the son of encouragement man,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Come on, how could you not? Paul?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Let's get.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Paul in here.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Come on, Paul, come on, we got Paul and Barnabus
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: right here behind the door.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I call him sauld or whatever.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Oh he hates.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: He hates when you call him out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you were out on the road.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I was. I did the show with Nate in my hometown,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: which is huge.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You got to do Thompson Bowling Arena, guys, guys, Johnny
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: did Thomas and Bowling is one.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Of the more lamely named arenas, although it's called Thoms
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Bowling Arena at Food City Center Now, which is way
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: too long because they had the corporate buyout like every
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: arena does. But even when it was just Thompson Bowling Arena,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it sounds like a bowling alley because it's the l
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I G. But when you go I did Thomson Bowling Arena, they.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Go, oh you bowl? Are you a professional bowler?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no such thing as a bowling arena.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense. If it's an arena, you're
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: probably not bowling. There's a bowling alley. Yeah, if it
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: was Thompson Bowling Alley, I would understand Thomson Bowling. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think I could definitely headline that. I think we just
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: created our new business. But as it stands, I was opening.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Nate did our childhood one of our childhood haunts,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and we've meant to many mini games there. You probably
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: more than me. You were an alum. Yeah, but I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: grew up in Knoxville, So this was like a dream
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and it was canceled because of the ice storm in January.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And then I was like bummed out because I was like, well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I guess I just won't get to do it. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: then he was like, I'll put you on the makeup
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: date I go what so just yeah, that's how cool
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Nate is. He knew what it meant to me, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: then he let me go last. He let me go
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: right before not last, but right before him. Last of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the openers have be wirrid. If you let me go,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know what, Let's bring up Johnny. Now that's been
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the And if you liked me, you may like this guy,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: but probably not. Oh yeah, yeah, but he brought me up.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And then, uh, it was really really fun. I was
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: nervous more than I thought I would be. Uh. I've
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: done a bunch of arenas now is Nate, but this one,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you know, you just feel a different And plus I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: had a lot of family and friends there. Yeah, although
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: someone was conspicuously absent.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right before we started recording, Johnny told this whole
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: story about somebody having this big moment in life and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: all their marriage was that their parents weren't there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And it was like, that's how I felt about you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I looked at there's an empty seat. I just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: focused on that empty sea.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was It's not that I was busy, It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: just that I don't support you, and I think the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: quicker that you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Excited, I think volleyball's become an idol. I don't want
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to be weird about it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Let me something, but it is an expensive idol.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I am assuming idols in the Old Testament made of
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: gold and stuff are pretty expensive.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if it tracks, it's.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Like you're holding like it looks like your tom Cruise.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: You're on castaway and you fashioned this person out of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a volleyball, but instead you're holding it. Going retirement, you're
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: holding it. It's basically your retirement that you've spent on volleyball. Yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that's okay. It's you're not gonna you're not gonna need
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you retire. No, I think you're one of those like
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: one heart attack and you're out.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I think I think you're Yeah, the deal is the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: suggess from volleyball will take me out so much the retirement.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Clean break, maybe maybe even Laura get a Harley. Hey,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: go out, glorious. That's right right off a mountain. No,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I yes, we were.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It was a tournament in Folly, Alabama, which is just
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: north of Golf Shopers.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's close enough that you're based on in Golf Shores, right,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: What did you do that? Did you go do the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Lambert Lamberts throwed roles. Did you ever taken over there?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But the place we play is on the same street.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, but you've never been you when I say it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: needs to experience being having a role.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Just understand we try to go to one.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Understand that your schedule is so busy. She's volleyball from
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: noon to night.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: If we could go get some sunshine because you're near
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the beach, I'd rather do that than hey, throw a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: roll in my head.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I can do that at home and do.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Laura throws rolls in the house.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I mean the throwed roll thing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: First of all, it's thrown.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: No, no that they call it throwed.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I know, but I'm just saying, like it's.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's I'm saying how they say you don't get hate.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I know they call a throwed roll, but I want
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to make sure that the people are listening at home
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: now that we know it, we know it's thrown.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Why do they call the throat?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That had thrown? And they were like, we have to change.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: It almost sounds like a roll that belongs on a throne,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: like it's but it's spelled on the phone.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: My daughter would know. She was really good at those.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You should know, John, you're an English major. You're goof
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: not an English major. Never was your history may english miner.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Never did anything in English, barely speak it. Yeah, English
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was always homophone. There's no way to know. I don't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: want to know. I hope you're screaming. Scream at your phone.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Right sounds alike.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you would think because it's a phone.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But anyway, thrown sounds like these rolls belong on.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: A thro rolls And if you don't catch it, do
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you still eat it?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That depends. They waste a lot of roles, I'll be
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: honest with you, because a lot of people can't catch it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And of course Curry had to duck because it's like
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: throwing a bomb and her she's gluten tall. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it's a terrorist attack.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's a a death dough.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That's what you came up with. We'll cut We'll cut.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: That a second. A death dough.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Get out of here.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Where is the the lead button on this?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: No, we did not do that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But she went to the beach.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Some got it. So in the beach a little bit.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: My wife, who's listening, my lovely wife, like you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the the weather report was bad going in.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: No, you told me, Wow, we spend all this money
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and we're going in a few days early and it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: going to be real bad. And I was like, you're
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: already bumming me up.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But that's not what I told her. You didn't tell
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: your wife this is no, or Sadie no, because because.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You have to be somebody's got to be the positive one.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's crazy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You can't have a whole family of negatives.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: If you find me as the positive one, we've gone
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: it's over. Yeah, everyone's gone pretty dark. When I know on,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I'm pulling you up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: But if you want to.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Nothing in this world, I think disappoints my wife more.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Then we finally get to go to the beach and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: it's raining or whatever. But the thing is at the beach,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: it rarely rains the whole time unless it's a hurricane.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: But the weather report was dismal across the whole southeastern
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: United States. We had that huge like ten days of rain,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you know. And she was like she was looking every
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: day a week out, it's like hey. And then and
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I started noticing it would say sunshine.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like look, it's gonna be fine, and and so
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I would just like to say, with humid and gentleness
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: right that I was one hundred.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Percent right and she was wrong. We had a good
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: son every day.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it it could have gone she could have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: been right, but it just worked out. You got luck
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of the draw.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: But out of the last ten beats trips that we've
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: worried about this, yeah, I've been right probably nine out
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of the ten times.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You're telling her not to worry and be more free flowing,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like you like, real casual, super breezy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: This is what I told Laura all the time, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: you guys have heard me say this before. I find
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: it's almost cute to me when other people try to
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: bring their worries because I'm like, dude, you're not even
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you're not even worrying on the right level yet.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a worry, that's just a concern.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I can if you want to get dark, and I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: can make people feel worse really quickly, like, hey, let
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: me teach you how to worry.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: The thing about like when you like, I don't mind
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: spending money. I hate the idea of money being spent
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: on something that or like I got taken advantage of,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: or I feel like this is too much or it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a wasteful thing, Like like, I'll spend an extra hundred
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: dollars to stay in a really nice hotel if my
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: with me. But I hate paying like thirty three dollars
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a day for parking at the airport because it feels
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: like a hotel room for my car. Yeah, it feels
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: like a waste I'll do. I'll be like, could we
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: get a ride? Is it quicker? Is it better to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: take an uber there and an uber back? Which is
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you know you're doing the math in your head. If
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: we're gone this many days, it's better just to do
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: uber back and forth. I hate it. I think about
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it all the time, and I don't know why because
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: it ends up being a couple hundred bucks or whatever
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: if I'm gone five days. But it's that bugs me
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the But if it's a nice restaurant, let's go spend
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the money. It's a good experience. So I think once
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you have that beef strip, it idealizes in your mind
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and you're like, now we've wasted this because we're in
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: a hotel room as we'll be home.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Exactly, That's exactly, And she's right, I would be disappointed
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: as well as we'll go to Lamberts. Might just go
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: get another throwed roll. I mean, here's the thing I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: say I was totally joking about. I'm not joking in
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: fact that I was right. Yeah, but I'm not really
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: gonna lord it over her again.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Well that's kind of what you already did.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Well, this is not this is a public forum. Listen,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: millions of listeners, close enough, listen. The deal is, she's
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: right about everything else, so maybe I get one.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm usually right about the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: weather at the beach that turns out.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, they're such a bud kusser, but it's okay. We
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: love you, John, but it's okay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Hey no, hey, hey, hey hey twenty six years bro.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 11:16

• 12:38
  Speaker 2: into material that I use everywhere. These crowds deserve the
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: story because it costs them there it incovenience them.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: How did they respond?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: They loved it?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: The funniest part is when I get to the one
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: where it's like me totally eating it, the final one
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: where it's pavement coming up and like my face hitting it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They all gasped, like it's a real photo. It's a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: cartoons like Calvin and Hobbes. It might as well be, though,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: but and they know it really did happen. But it's like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: you know, once I saw that they gasped at the cartoon,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, we're never showing the real photos.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: You'll never get them back.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just tearing out photo. Yeah it's weird. Uh
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: But anyway, John, you know it's time for I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: it's time that we hear from a few of our
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: fine sponsors.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I say, I'm completely kidding about your marriage.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I don't do the people are mean to each other
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and I always feel bad.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So I think you have one of the best marriages everybody.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I know. You guys are happy and well suited.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That's what makes this so hard.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So I have announcement.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I've got a statement I would like to read.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I would I would hurt you? Would
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you if you hurt Curry? I think, oh well, I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: really yeah, you'd be an idiot.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: So I know she puts up with all that stuff
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: out of you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: You worded that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's about that time. Okay, it's my segment. We
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: call it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: They talked about that, You're gonna like this one today
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: because I don't have.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: To worry about who said it or whether I got the.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Name right from you five staples.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It's actually unknown. Oh it's anonymous.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: It's gonna end up being a monster once we figure
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: it out. You didn't try to track it down. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: didn't taste it into the thing and just tracked down.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It came at me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Ain't off. Yeah, not great.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping anyway. I don't doubt it's gonna be one
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: of those guys. But anyway, Unknown said this coincidence is
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: God's way of remaining anonymous.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I've heard that before, and I think it's been a
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: tribute to do a bunch of different people. That's a
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think it maybe had been attributed.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I want to say it was like Benjamin Franklin.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe perhaps, And then I looked it up and found
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: that they were like, no one's ever going to find out.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It's a way from any anonymous. Yeah, yeah, I think,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I think it's true. Don't think any true coincidences.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Man, I really can't, because.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: There are people who, like, I think we're in a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: culture now that like conspiracy theories and it's so fun
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to get in to go down the rabbit hole on
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: TikTok of like follow the money. Yeah, like is this
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: really like so and so died at thirty three and
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: this guy died at thirty three coincidence? And you go, yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: it is a coincidence, right, they didn't know each other.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I think that all things. I think there's a difference
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: between God for knowing things and God for ordaining things. Okay,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And I don't.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Know where he decides what to do which one, Like,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: you know, again, the Deists believe that God spun things
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: into motion and then kept his.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Hands off, Like though he made the intricate watch and
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: now he just died again, he fixes the watch, but
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: he doesn't really interfere with watch.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And I'm not at all deast in that respect or
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: in any respect, but I do believe that God does
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: allow things to happen. I also know, again, I think
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: about this all the time, how specific the scriptures are
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: about God's knowledge and care for things. That there's not
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: a bird that falls that goes, you know, in the
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: field that God doesn't notice, or you know that God
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: knows the number of hairs in your head or whatever.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He gets so super specific there. So I take a
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: lot of comfort in that. But whether or not God
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: is affecting the hairs on my head? Could he did
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: he know he let the hairs fall? But did he
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: see the hairs when they fell on the floor, Johnny,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I think she did. So, you know, I think, like
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I find that comfort of knowing that He's present and
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: maybe there is some things are some things that He
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: allows to just kind of come at me. But I
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: think that idea I will I tell the church this
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: And this is this is why I think hardship shapes
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: us in a different way than anything else can, because
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you can't be present and grateful for things that God
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: did that you don't know about because they never happened. Yeah,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: And so I do know. I can tell you many times,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: and the road is a great example. Many times I
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: was inches away from death and I was like, oh,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I had a little a little shot of adrenaline and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: went on.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: My way and forgot about it by that night. I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: mean countless time.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody's had that moment where you realized you don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: remember the last twenty minutes of driving, right, but.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: You looked down and man, if someone would have come
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: in front of.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Your car, you'd have kill them, you know, and you
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: just go, how many times did I pray before we
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: left that guy would take care of us or whatever?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And there's not a time I don't pull in from
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: a long volleyball trop because we're on the road constantly
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: that I don't tell Laura. I try to tell Laura like, hey,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: it's a big deal every time that we just drove
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a thousand miles and pull back into art yeah driveway.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, so that is I believe you could go, well,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: that's just coincidence. You're just a good driver. And I'm like, well,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: you know, like I don't think so. I think I
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: think God is protecting us. And here's got to be
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: good if we died in the car wreck, Like I
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: get it. People, that happens to people. So there's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: mystery of what allow he allows and doesn't.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Alige we're talking about on the bus because me and
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: John and Andrew Stanley, who is a great comic out
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: of Atlanta, and we were talking about like the weird
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: happenstance of us starting our career and like how he
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Andrew says, I think a lot about how close I
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: was to not doing it and it changed his whole life.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: But how close you you had to almost be talked
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: into it. It's that first open mic or well, for me,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it was like a church event, and I was kind
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: of put in this position, go do eight minutes in
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: front of these college kids that are coming in from
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: out of state. You're the college pastor here, you're hosting this,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Go do it. And I was nervous, but I thought,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: me and John write these dumb, silly songs for the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: youth group. We'll just do a song, and you were sick.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And that's why I decided to write jokes. I'll roast
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: these colleges. And I had Jeffrey make slides of like
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: different mascots and stuff, and so two things. One if
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you hadn't been sick, I never would have tried it,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And two if it hadn't gone well, I never would
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: have tried it again. So like a lot had to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: go right. But it's not a cool that's that's not
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: cool to me. That's not a coincidence. That was a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: God thing. And I'd look at it as like you know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: the day you're born and the day you find out why,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: there really is those moments for me as a creator.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: But it's like, I, yeah, you have to make a
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: million decisions to keep going, and then there's rough times
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of no's. But like in the beginning,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I think God knew, like he's going to have to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: win at this or he won't have the guts to
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: keep trying, Like I bombed after that a lot of times,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: But he knew enough to be like, this needs to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: be a really tailor made situation where he'll do good
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and he'll get encouragement and he'll get bookings from it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I got bookings from it. Colleges were like, you got
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to come do that at my school. I was like, well,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't fit at your school, but I'll write some stuff,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: and then I really started writing things. But yeah, it's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: like a lot of that had to It's such a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: sliding door of like what if I hadn't done this,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: or what if I had just made it? What if
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I had chickened out? Yeah, well, if John can't do it,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I just won't do it. I'll just get up and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: do an announcement. Yeah, hey, everybody, shake each other's hands,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the church.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: When you think about how many college groups and youth
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: group stuff and times you've spoken because.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: In the very beginning, yeah you would. You didn't want
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to talk on stage when you're in the band.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Right, I was, Yeah, they're very shy. Yeah, you did
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: all the talking between songs.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Right, and then how what probably at that point ten
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: years later, Yeah, you know you're now to the point,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: oh John can't do this, and we've been on missions
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: trips and written all kinds of stuff and done all
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: these other things for the groups.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: It was just more natural. So there's a prep for it, all.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Right, at allway was prepp even like taking a job
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: as like a young old's pastor and having to prepare
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: something to say in front of people, you just get
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: more and more comfortable you just some of those butterflies
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: go away to quote Moley Syral nod in my head
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: like yeah no, but yeah. Like John's story was interesting.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't know his but he said he I'll butcher it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: But he said that his church was doing some sermon
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: series and it was like top you know, I can't
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: remember if it was like because he did this one,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: it was like things were not. It was like we're
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: they're starting a men's series and something, and he was
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: just like he showed up at this thing and they
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: were spitballing ideas and he was just like, well, you
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: should do this from this story. This would be funny
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: if you did this. And then the guys who didn't
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: want to be doing it, they were it was dumped
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: on them by some megachurch. They were like, why don't
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: you just do it? So then he just took over
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and he goes, I wasn't even supposed to be at
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the thing. I just walked into the meeting or something
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and was like, well you should do this. You know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: he's still scared of his shadow, but he was like okay.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And then that this was in its spiral, and then
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: he started doing more and more videas for his church
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and he started doing stand up. It's like, what if
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you just decided not to go that day? Like you
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: that that door was never never been opened in his mind.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: He was just been like, oh, stand up. It's a
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: fun thing that I watch. Yeah, you know, something has
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to ignite that thing, like, oh I could do this.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's interesting.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: So there's a book I'll I've talked about before. It's
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: called Finding Old Glory that I'm writing. And it's my
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: my like kind of life's work of history because it's
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: a story.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I've been chasing since i was a little kid.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've written all these books mainly as a collaborator,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: some own, some as a co author. And I'm in
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: this total historical it's it's it's called historical trade, right,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: but it's it's way more academic than I would write
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: in the other fronts. Well, my wonderful agent, I mean,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: who believes in me even though I'm just a you
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: know what I am?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I am what I am?
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Johnny and do We pitched every publishing outlet that he had.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I even made a Christian version. We pitched everything.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Got a lot of good feedback, but just all knows, right,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and I finally was like, you know what, I want
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: to go to my alma mater and pitch. I've never
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: pitched the university press before. It's you know, I've studied
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: it a little bit to see how to do it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: It's it's a whole different animal. I pitched them and
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I got to know from them. And this goes back
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: again to that that one thing. It's like, well, okay,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: well that's every door closed. I guess I'm not doing this.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: And then something happened that never ever happens in publishing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: The guy emailed me back.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: And so the guy that told you no died. We
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: have decided to go against his wishes.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: The guy emailed me back and and this is humbling
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to hear him say this. He was just like, hey,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I like to hold off on my note for a
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: second because my boss really.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Likes this book idea.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: So he got he got like overridden.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: And so now because I would have I'm so used
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: to trade and not university stuff, like this book is
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: still a long way from coming out. It's just a
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: longer process. But there's a lot of things happening. I
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: may share at some point that I'm so excited to
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: be with the University of Tennessee Press on this. It's
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Mama Moter, it's cool and that, and plus that that
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: academic side is causing other things to happen in life.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: But also that guy and I have become pretty good
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: friends because we have to talk occasionally, you know, about everything,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: and you just go, man, do you just you never
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: know in all the negative, all the no's or you know,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I believe again, I wouldn't be grateful for it without
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: all the other things, and I wouldness not the first
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: thing I picked. It was the last thing I picked, yea,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: And it ends up being the only thing I need.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: You know, for that, sometimes the last thing you pick,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Johnny's the only thing you need.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Come on, that's our show. That is our show. It's
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: not our show.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I could have I do Johnny's stuff.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm sorry. Let's do some old jokes.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: We call it joke about that John. I went to
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: see Project Hail Mary, you know the film that's out. Yeah, yeah,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: and I highly recommend it unless you know about it
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: going in the better trust me. The guy in front
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: of me though at the theater, brought his dog to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: see the movie with him. I think it was like
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a service animal. Any with the dog really seemed to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: be enjoying the movie. It was strange, so I said
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to the guy after, I know this is going to
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: sound weird, but it seemed like your dog really enjoyed
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the movie. He said, that is weird because he hated
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the book.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I like that, okay, guys a dog.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: John, a wealthy lawyer, which is a lot of those,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was riding in his limousine when he saw two women
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver's
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: stop and got out to investigate. He asked one woman,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: why are you eating grass? We don't have money for food,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the poor woman. The poor women replied, we have to
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: eat grass. Well, then you can come with me to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: my house and i'll feed you. The lawyer said, but sir,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I have a husband and two children with me. They're
• 25:53

  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have meant look at what God allowed
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: us to do.
• 29:13

  Speaker 1: But it sounds almost like God's going to kill us.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah it does. It's God rotting something.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Centers in the heavens of an angry God who doesn't

• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Daily bread, bro, that's true.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: He does some Some would say he's throwing rolls right now.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I throws a roll, catch it and eat it, but
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: you can't store it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But he don't listen.

• 29:50
  Speaker 2: John born this week seventeen sixty one, Henry Shrapnel. Do
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: you want to guess what he's famous for the doctor
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: He was a British Army I was hoping it'd be that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: It's worse. He's a British Army officer for whom Shrapnel's
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: name to refer to fragmentation from artillery shells. In seventeen
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: eighty four, he began to experiment with hollow cannonballs filled
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: with lead shot that burst midair.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Couch.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: In eighteen oh three, the British Army adopted the technique,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: naming it after its inventor. For his contributions to warfare,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: shrapnel was prone to lieutenant colonel awarded twelve hundred pounds
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: or one hundred and six thousand pounds in twenty twenty
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: five for a year for his life. So for he
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: got one hundred thousand dollars for the rest of his
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: life in today's money for putting basically making pipe bombs.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, something exploded and ree shrapnel.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: It's interesting to me that, I know, warfare has a
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: thing and people will get awards for making the most
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: deadly killing machines, but it just feels gross. I was hoping,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: like you would be like, this is the guy that
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: pulled the shrap and he was able to you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: he saved people's lives, but they called it shrapnel because
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: it was doctor shrapnel.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Ro He had done both, you know, he made it,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and he felt batter.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: After shrapne Doctor Trevivill like sounds like? Does it sounds
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: very Doctor is right this way.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I think we can write our own story about doctor Dravidel.
