Welcome Kin!

Have you ever found yourself pondering the depth of your friendships, or how the notion of a 'best friend' stacks up against a close-knit group? Pat and Mick share a hearty exchange on this topic, challenging the traditional singular soulmate concept in both friendships and romantic relationships. We consider the idea that perhaps life's richness comes from the collective love and support of many special people, and muse on the authenticity of such bonds in today's fast-paced world.

Our conversation takes a turn as we give an update on Lionel Moreno's legal troubles stemming from social media missteps and the broader implications for online behavior. Yet, it's not all doom and gloom; we celebrate Easter and explore the profound impact of faith, drawing inspiration from public figures like Shawn Ryan and Alan Ritchson, whose spiritual transformations have been both public and deeply personal. We navigate these waters with care, addressing the scrutiny they face and the strength they exhibit in their spiritual journeys.

Finally, we give you a snapshot of the pulse of the world, from geopolitical strife in the Middle East to policy shifts in small-town America. But we don't leave you there; we loop back to the practicalities of life with my latest training adventures using the Dry Fire Mag, sharing the synergy of responsible firearm training and the joy of learning. Stay tuned for what's next as we tease our upcoming content, promising to continue stirring the pot with conversations that challenge and inspire. Join us for this episode that's as diverse in topics as it is rich in camaraderie and insight.

did you send me this?

00:00:03.165 --> 00:00:12.189
Yeah, okay, I wasn't sure if you'd send me this, but if I'd also just seen it, because were you for real watching that other video when I sent it to you?

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:13.833
yeah, the gun range.

00:00:13.833 --> 00:00:17.748
Yeah, yeah, that's what it was right, it was the gun range.

00:00:17.748 --> 00:00:21.042
Yeah, I was watching it and then you sent it to me.

00:00:21.042 --> 00:00:23.756
I was like, oh, youtube is broken, like didn't open it.

00:00:23.756 --> 00:00:28.370
So I closed youtube, open another message again and went to the same spot I left off in the video.

00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:32.887
I'm like, fuck, I'll just close it again, I'll close the apps and messages and I opened it again.

00:00:32.887 --> 00:00:37.301
I was like, no fucking way, this guy just sent me the same video that I was watching.

00:00:38.463 --> 00:00:38.802
Did you see?

00:00:38.802 --> 00:00:41.886
I said well, oh yeah.

00:00:41.886 --> 00:00:47.869
Well, I'm going to put my tinfoil hat on now because we're synced.

00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:48.911
That's pretty crazy.

00:00:48.911 --> 00:00:50.573
I don't think we can get more synced than that.

00:00:50.573 --> 00:00:52.814
We're more synced than a sorority house, bro.

00:00:53.695 --> 00:00:56.317
Damn, I get what you're saying.

00:00:56.317 --> 00:00:57.158
There it's.

00:00:57.158 --> 00:01:09.631
Mm hmm, you know, funny thing is Billiean is her hormones are like very potent.

00:01:10.572 --> 00:01:13.766
Although you've told me this, they, they, they wrangle in those around her.

00:01:13.766 --> 00:01:15.210
She's not even the matriarch.

00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:19.409
She reactivates, like women who have gone through menopause will reactivate.

00:01:19.409 --> 00:01:21.242
Oh my goodness is that insane.

00:01:21.362 --> 00:01:23.972
Can you sell that service to like mcjagger?

00:01:23.972 --> 00:01:27.183
I bet we could like to mcjagger and robert de niro.

00:01:27.203 --> 00:01:31.733
De niro just had a baby spend a week around my wife and it'll help with your.

00:01:31.733 --> 00:01:40.546
You know, your uh, getting pregnant issues, yeah, well, lack of getting pregnant issues, yeah, I could probably.

00:01:40.546 --> 00:01:44.843
I could probably market that people pay a lot of money for all sorts of stuff.

00:01:44.843 --> 00:01:48.088
I'll just like walk around behind billy jean with like a jar.

00:01:48.088 --> 00:01:48.609
Yeah.

00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:56.971
I'll just like catch the air around her and then bottle it up and sell it listen, everybody on the internet's selling snake oil.

00:01:57.313 --> 00:01:57.894
Why aren't we?

00:01:59.102 --> 00:02:07.384
and here's my work true, that's true it gives the gift of life yeah, I mean, if it does, then like what is what else is there to?

00:02:07.384 --> 00:02:09.514
What's the price point on something like that?

00:02:09.514 --> 00:02:10.359
I don't know.

00:02:10.378 --> 00:02:17.514
You should look up like, let's just see if you can vitro is like 15, 10, 15, right yeah something like that.

00:02:18.942 --> 00:02:19.883
Um, I wonder.

00:02:19.883 --> 00:02:21.205
I'm actually just gonna look it up.

00:02:21.205 --> 00:02:23.909
I'm not, I don't want those Google ads.

00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:27.534
Anyways, I'm on it.

00:02:27.534 --> 00:02:30.706
Welcome to the Mick and Pat show.

00:02:30.706 --> 00:02:32.451
I'm Mick.

00:02:32.451 --> 00:02:36.389
Across from me is my good buddy old pal Pat.

00:02:36.389 --> 00:02:45.758
You know, pat, you know I was thinking, I was wondering and I'm putting you on the spot here.

00:02:45.758 --> 00:02:49.979
I guess you can edit it out if you don't want to include this, but this is awkward.

00:02:49.979 --> 00:03:00.502
Do you think we're, do you think we're best friends at this point, like, do you think with a good here's I test if someone's my best friend?

00:03:00.502 --> 00:03:05.445
I think do over with what I know now about my friends and friends at the time.

00:03:05.445 --> 00:03:14.030
Would they be in my wedding and that's how I measure if they're a best friend if they would be in the lineup of groomsmen, right, uh?

00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:17.600
And if I would drop someone else off of that to fit in the lima.

00:03:17.961 --> 00:03:23.997
Right, and so are we going singular or are we going like in in the circle?

00:03:23.997 --> 00:03:25.002
What are you talking about?

00:03:25.181 --> 00:03:29.676
because you're asking if you're my best friend no, I'm asking am I one of your best friends?

00:03:29.676 --> 00:03:30.379
That's what I'm saying.

00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:33.967
Would I be in the groomsmen lineup, right, would I be?

00:03:34.008 --> 00:03:34.549
in the lineup.

00:03:34.549 --> 00:03:39.566
Yeah, because I would say yes, wow, flattered, yes, I'm gonna cry.

00:03:39.566 --> 00:03:39.986
I had.

00:03:39.986 --> 00:03:45.638
I would say so when putting in a lot of time, I probably cause my uh.

00:03:45.818 --> 00:03:55.050
As you get older, the socializing shrinks as well as once you have kids, it shrinks even more, and so, like it shrinks a lot it does.

00:03:55.050 --> 00:04:04.149
And so the uh also like I'd say, like I don't know if I'll ever have like the like people have like a best friend.

00:04:04.149 --> 00:04:09.506
Yeah, have like the like people have like a best friend.

00:04:09.506 --> 00:04:12.377
Yeah, right, and it's like, and that's super cool if you have that, for it's like he's been my best friend since high school.

00:04:12.377 --> 00:04:29.192
Yeah, we like you know just every day, we know like, even when they're 40, they're like he's coming over and sitting on the front porch, that sort of thing, yeah, but I think I've kind of like, in the same way, my philosophy has changed around, like the one meaning the one you marry like as if there is only one for you.

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:33.184
I think there's billions of people out there who I think there's at least five.

00:04:33.184 --> 00:04:39.812
At least five, yeah, but there's billions of people out there in the world, and of billions and billions of people.

00:04:39.812 --> 00:04:43.899
I'm sure you could have a happy life with many of them, right?

00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:44.240
And?

00:04:44.261 --> 00:04:47.250
so I take the inverse adam eve approach.

00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:58.170
Some people say like, well, yeah, there's the one for you, just like how, god, regardless of what you believe, like if you think it's a myth, the idea is like you know, there was only one for adam.

00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:17.589
I'm like, no, that's evidence that you can fall in love and serve and grow old with anyone with enough experience, because, like he didn't, they didn't have any other options and, like I think you know, whatever, but you could argue both sides and that's a commitment to being with the one.

00:05:17.810 --> 00:05:19.012
Yep, now you're with the one.

00:05:19.012 --> 00:05:28.923
So now that is the one, but prior to that it was the same thing with, like, my breast friend philosophy, your breast friend my breast friend, that's just your wife.

00:05:29.004 --> 00:05:30.346
But yeah, this is true.

00:05:31.548 --> 00:05:34.033
My, my best friends, I, the.

00:05:34.033 --> 00:05:34.819
I have a.

00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:39.630
You can be polygamous with the best buddies with best buddies.

00:05:39.651 --> 00:05:40.211
You can have a.

00:05:40.211 --> 00:05:43.586
You can have three best buddies over at the house at one time.

00:05:43.586 --> 00:05:46.572
I'll tell you what you can't do.

00:05:46.572 --> 00:05:49.615
You can't have three wives over at the house at the same time.

00:05:49.776 --> 00:05:53.382
You cannot, and I don't even know if I actually want that.

00:05:53.742 --> 00:05:54.586
I would never want that.

00:05:54.586 --> 00:05:55.329
That sounds awful.

00:05:55.329 --> 00:06:03.144
This is how I can tell if someone's immature, if they joke about like yeah, dude, it'd be sick to have like six girlfriends.

00:06:03.144 --> 00:06:05.235
I'm like, oh yeah, dude, it'd be sick to have like six girlfriends.

00:06:05.235 --> 00:06:08.785
I'm like you fool, you fool, you have no idea.

00:06:08.785 --> 00:06:10.685
Like that's insane.

00:06:10.685 --> 00:06:16.870
You, you probably haven't even had one, Cause if you've had one, you would know.

00:06:16.870 --> 00:06:20.887
Like the idea of another is doing it at the same time is ridiculous.

00:06:20.887 --> 00:06:22.812
It's relationships.

00:06:23.031 --> 00:06:23.934
You got to put in a lot of work.

00:06:23.934 --> 00:06:26.221
You got gotta put in a lot of work.

00:06:26.242 --> 00:06:31.973
You gotta put in work and that's a good thing, the, I will say, the good relationships, it's good work, yeah, and you know you enjoy it.

00:06:31.973 --> 00:06:36.911
But like, uh, all I said, I I agree with your subscription.

00:06:36.911 --> 00:07:02.826
I had, like I think there was a time in life where I had like one best buddy, and that was probably seasonal in high school, right, like it would have switched you know who, who was my go-to homie um, but with growing through life and stuff and like college especially, like it became just a group of dudes and I would say, for the most part that group of dudes is still the same.

00:07:02.826 --> 00:07:24.026
Actually, like we've we've done a pretty good job of remaining faithful in in those friendships, even if it's, like you know, months to years that we go without like all of us talking to the others, we touch, we catch up on, like oh, I spoke to you know so and so, and here's how they're doing.

00:07:24.026 --> 00:07:25.689
It's like great Through proxy.

00:07:25.689 --> 00:07:27.012
Yeah, I know we're good.

00:07:27.211 --> 00:07:42.290
Yeah, exactly, and I love that, like when you have got low maintenance friendships In the network, yeah, and they're not out there wondering like, oh, he hasn't texted me, you know, or he hasn't reached out to me, which there is also like if you want to keep relationships going, you got to reach out.

00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:52.480
But at the same time also you have those people who are like on the other end, especially too far, where it's like, if you're not in this like lots of contact, they feel like it the relationship's falling apart.

00:07:52.480 --> 00:08:02.428
Where I've got some friends who it's great, we're like I haven't seen or talked to you in a year and you literally pick it up where you left off, yeah, and that's great, like what?

00:08:02.428 --> 00:08:16.189
And you don't need to carry around the burden or stress of like worrying about you know the um, how your relationship's doing, checking in on it, you know, as if it was like a relationship with like a girl, you know.

00:08:16.189 --> 00:08:19.343
You just, hey, we're just gonna pick up where we left off and it's good.

00:08:19.524 --> 00:08:30.610
That's one thing I've actually been told is like my, is my, like you know the, the thing they talk about at your wedding, like the thing about you, your, your best man says about you.

00:08:31.091 --> 00:08:43.346
I've been told by a lot of my friends, like the my thing mix thing is like loyalty, I can count on him, like he won't, that he won't, our friendship won't change due to him.

00:08:43.346 --> 00:08:47.594
Like feeling like we don't talk, or something like that, right, right, and that's pretty true.

00:08:47.594 --> 00:08:56.147
Like I legitimately don't think like man, I'm upset that Joe Schmo hasn't talked to me, or something like that, or hasn't responded.

00:08:56.147 --> 00:09:02.520
I just like I let I just think of it in the context of like, oh, dude, I've been thinking a lot about Joe, I should reach out to Joe Schmo.

00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:06.225
And oh, dude, I've been thinking a lot about Joe, I should reach out to Joe Schmo, and then I just send him a message and then I forget that I texted them.

00:09:06.225 --> 00:09:09.849
Yeah, and I'm delighted when they respond and that's how I feel.

00:09:09.849 --> 00:09:19.731
Like most of my best friends are you know what I mean Outside of the ones that are, like you know, weekly in our lives, right, how would I know?

00:09:22.042 --> 00:09:26.067
Yeah, dude, we're best friends, I was thinking about it because I was like, yeah, no, pat would be in the lineup.

00:09:26.067 --> 00:09:31.153
Also, I do think, like best friend stuff this is like goes back to like the high school talk.

00:09:31.153 --> 00:09:45.490
I feel like I've talked about this on here before you can gauge who your best friend or crush is in high school or middle school.

00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.125
Because you're like if the building was on fire or like if Al Qaeda attacked our middle school right now, who would I run to to try to get out?

00:09:48.125 --> 00:09:48.467
Like, try to help get out.

00:09:48.467 --> 00:09:49.840
And it's like it's either a girl that you have a crush on or it's one of your best homies.

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.831
You're like, damn bro, me and nate would be getting.

00:09:52.831 --> 00:09:53.774
I've run to find nate.

00:09:53.774 --> 00:09:56.221
He's my homie man, I wouldn't want to leave him behind.

00:09:56.721 --> 00:10:03.052
Like it's like you're thinking that like as a seventh grader and he's outside making out with the cheerleader while you're inside trying to save his ass.

00:10:03.052 --> 00:10:09.268
He's out there, just, you know, just worried about his old self.

00:10:09.268 --> 00:10:12.982
That's alright, it happens, that's the way it goes, bro, sometimes.

00:10:12.982 --> 00:10:15.986
But loyalty, loyalty, bro, it's a good thing, yeah.

00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:23.104
Yo, speaking of which, just following up on news, nothing to do with loyalty, but following up on news.

00:10:23.104 --> 00:10:27.071
Last week we talked about how there was this guy, lionel Moreno.

00:10:27.071 --> 00:10:33.206
Lionel Moreno, I don't really know how to say that name, because it's not spelled the way we spell Lionel.

00:10:34.562 --> 00:10:34.865
Lionel.

00:10:34.865 --> 00:10:37.466
It's spelled the same way Messi spells his name.

00:10:37.466 --> 00:10:38.826
Oh really, Lionel Messi.

00:10:39.553 --> 00:10:39.979
Alright.

00:10:39.979 --> 00:10:59.186
Well, lionel Moreno, who is the illegal immigrant in the US that's famous on TikTok for saying stuff, and he was the one who made the TikTok video telling people how they can take over people's homes that are, you know, empty, you know, rental, renting homes or vacation homes Right, if they just want to go squatting them?

00:10:59.186 --> 00:11:04.523
Well, he made that video and ICE has been after him for a while.

00:11:04.523 --> 00:11:06.884
Well, he made that video and ICE has been after him for a while.

00:11:06.884 --> 00:11:16.613
So I saw the video and they like jail-loked it and they were like Mr Moreno, you're under arrest, legally living in the US, and he's in federal custody now.

00:11:16.613 --> 00:11:18.793
So just nice little follow up to that.

00:11:18.793 --> 00:11:22.017
You know, we really didn't like that guy and he got what was coming to him.

00:11:22.798 --> 00:11:31.533
And if you're going to commit a crime, not that you should consider not posting about it on social media.

00:11:31.533 --> 00:11:34.788
Yeah, we see this all the time and it's hilarious.

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:45.073
Well, I just also think like there's nothing that does more harm to you in a court law situation than the stuff that's on the internet.

00:11:45.073 --> 00:12:08.525
Right, bro, if let's just say that guy really did go into someone's house and they were there and they shot him because he's running and yelling in their face telling them to get out and he thinks maybe he can push him out or intimidate him, and he doesn't know that, like Betty Boo got 22 revolver in her purse and gives him a pop in Not that he dies or anything, but she shoots him.

00:12:08.525 --> 00:12:11.581
He leaves Cops, arrest him Right, goes to court.

00:12:11.581 --> 00:12:20.270
He loses all the empathy of this migrant with a baby and a family just needed a place to live when they're like, oh, look at his tiktok.

00:12:20.270 --> 00:12:24.546
He's like literally holding his baby, talking about how he like there was a couple other videos he did.

00:12:24.667 --> 00:12:33.301
One of the videos was like talking about the leverage of a kid as an asset in the us to get away with shit and he's just holding his kid the whole time.

00:12:33.301 --> 00:12:36.048
Yeah and uh, it was just like one of those things.

00:12:36.048 --> 00:12:39.000
You're just like dude, I don't think you get it, bro.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.451
You lose all the things that you have going for you in a us court case.

00:12:43.451 --> 00:12:51.850
When you do stuff like that and post on the internet, like all of a sudden they just see a manipulative illegal immigrant trying to escape the system.

00:12:51.850 --> 00:12:54.485
Yep, so anyways, just be smart people.

00:12:54.485 --> 00:12:58.123
If you want to be criminals, don't let anyone know you're criminals that's the thing.

00:12:58.323 --> 00:13:02.484
If the, if someday the mick and pat show, there's like no trace of it anymore all of a sudden.

00:13:02.705 --> 00:13:08.183
Yeah it's because we're in trouble, it's because one of us got arrested, because we're in court and we use our one phone call you.

00:13:08.224 --> 00:13:09.105
It's like you get one phone call.

00:13:09.125 --> 00:13:10.988
It's like mick, take it down.

00:13:10.988 --> 00:13:12.870
Yeah, take it down right away.

00:13:12.870 --> 00:13:14.913
What should be the code word?

00:13:14.913 --> 00:13:16.000
Pat, like, what's the code word?

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:23.644
Like maybe like I just get like a letter from you in jail or like a phone call and like you're just like our.

00:13:24.024 --> 00:13:33.331
Our code word in high school was banana hammock, so what like just if it meant throw away every go to my house burn it down.

00:13:33.331 --> 00:13:34.575
It was, it was.

00:13:34.575 --> 00:13:45.780
If you were, if you're up to doing something sketchy in the halls and you know a teacher's coming around like you're about to get caught for it it is you'd hear someone else yell around banana hammock and they just stop.

00:13:45.780 --> 00:13:47.341
Stop, stop the fight, whatever.

00:13:47.341 --> 00:13:52.725
Stop the horse around, stop lighting the cigarette, whatever you're doing in the halls, and just ditch it and get out of there.

00:13:53.206 --> 00:13:53.746
I like that.

00:13:53.746 --> 00:14:05.355
But anyways, if I was going out, I'm about to eat dinner and you'll be like heck, I'm in jail Banana hammock oh my God.

00:14:05.355 --> 00:14:08.437
Like just stand up, like just look at Billy.

00:14:08.437 --> 00:14:10.542
She's like what's going on?

00:14:10.542 --> 00:14:13.206
They're like I have to go, I have to.

00:14:13.206 --> 00:14:13.846
I love you.

00:14:13.846 --> 00:14:14.668
I just go out the door.

00:14:14.668 --> 00:14:20.437
This is a fictional, uh hypothetical story.

00:14:20.437 --> 00:14:32.134
If this warehouse burns down, it was not committed by me and arson, it was a bad wiring and unfortunately, all of our stuff got lost.

00:14:32.134 --> 00:14:39.572
Anyways, we don't have like too much that we want to like hit on.

00:14:39.572 --> 00:14:42.663
You know it wasn't like a super busy news week, right With world events.

00:14:42.663 --> 00:14:44.028
There was some stuff that we want to touch on.

00:14:44.028 --> 00:15:10.028
But it was also Easter and you know, with Easter's and us being little Christians, little Christ as Christians translates to we celebrate Easter, we believe Jesus is risen and he is in heaven and he is our savior, and that's what we put our faith in and that's what we put majority of our stock in here Actually, not majority, we put our stock in that.

00:15:12.725 --> 00:15:14.931
A little bit in whatever Nancyancy plosy put in this week.

00:15:15.010 --> 00:15:25.576
Yeah, and nvidia and uh, neo, uh puts on neo pharmaceuticals, um, but uh, anywho's um.

00:15:25.576 --> 00:15:39.466
One thing that you know, pat, you mentioned is just like we we've talked about it before how cool it is to see, like the kind of other, like podcasts, celebrities and people we respect becoming believers.

00:15:39.466 --> 00:15:54.975
And this Easter, sean Ryan, him and his wife got baptized, you know, which is just cool because he's had a very, I think, very authentic walk of you know, converting to Christianity and deciding to become a believer.

00:15:54.975 --> 00:16:02.527
And I almost believe in like believe someone's walk is more genuine, like here's one thing you can never know.

00:16:02.527 --> 00:16:05.208
You just have faith in God to do the sorting.

00:16:06.441 --> 00:16:11.982
But when they don't get baptized, like right away, I have like as a celebrity, this is I'm talking to context.

00:16:11.982 --> 00:16:13.097
So when they don't get baptized, like right away, I have like as a celebrity, this is I'm talking to context.

00:16:13.097 --> 00:16:26.221
So when they don't get baptized right away, I have a little bit more confidence that they're serious about it and are taking time to learn, consider, before they're like, yeah, put me under the water without like, I don't even know what this book says, but dunk me Right, you know what I mean.

00:16:26.221 --> 00:16:31.350
And so, oh, I said I was excited about it and there's a couple other.

00:16:31.350 --> 00:16:35.900
You know people who are talking about it, but for sure Did I talk about on here?

00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:38.101
We talked about Sean Ryan's conversion.

00:16:38.101 --> 00:16:53.916
Some I don't know if I talked about kind of what some of my experience watching it happen, but so you know, started listening to him whatever year and a half, two years ago, um, but he started showing up in my YouTube shorts.

00:16:53.916 --> 00:16:54.797
I was like, who is this guy?

00:16:54.797 --> 00:17:06.126
So she had these cool stories and he's, as he's no awesome stories of all sorts of different types of people, um, and lots of it's of the special operator type flavor, which is always fun stories to listen to.

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:27.660
But then he brings in other people too, and but all of a sudden, about a year into it, there just was this trend of like all these people coming on who had like incredible stories and then like, when he dig into them about, like how they made it or how how'd they come back from these things and all this like you know, uh, these hard things or what gave them strength?

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:37.182
Like they hadn't like professed their faith yet at that point they very just simply would say like it's my faith in jesus, or like it's like I follow god and he gives me strength.

00:17:37.182 --> 00:17:42.421
I'm like and and the the podcast wasn't around their a testimony of their faith.

00:17:42.421 --> 00:17:50.747
It was telling their story, yep, and their faith came up out of it, and so he like and into note this too sean ryan is a.

00:17:51.007 --> 00:17:53.093
He was a big the universe guy.

00:17:54.021 --> 00:18:29.925
That's just the universe brother yeah, maybe the universe is telling me something you know because he's done like some psychedelics and stuff, searching for god right and he, yeah, he has an interesting like walk coming to because also he's uh, he grew up catholic and was very uninterested in the, in faith, and then had a life as an operator and cia you know contractor and then, like for a while, just went and did like cocaine in south america for like a couple years and, like you know, pretty like um, disgruntled with the whole, with life, I, I think, you know.

00:18:29.925 --> 00:18:42.429
And then coming back around and so, as his and lots of these people who were coming on to talk to him were, some of them were his friends and some of them were, or some of them were, acquaintances and he just didn't, he didn't even know about, like, the power of their faith in their life.

00:18:42.429 --> 00:18:48.906
And I could hear his curiosity unfolding over the course of these, you know, six months or whatever.

00:18:48.906 --> 00:18:52.951
It's just like you could tell like he stopped asking.

00:18:52.951 --> 00:18:55.875
He wasn't necessarily asking interview questions to keep the interview going.

00:18:55.875 --> 00:19:02.705
He was asking questions that he wanted to know more about, like for himself, like he was.

00:19:02.705 --> 00:19:05.573
It wasn't driving a narrative in an interview, he was engaging it like with earnest curiosity.

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.576
And I was a huge snowstorm happened last uhmas ago or something.

00:19:11.576 --> 00:19:13.800
I was home for some thanksgiving, christmas, whatever.

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:30.365
And uh, a year ago, and uh, I was plowing my dad's driveway and I was listening to his interview with, uh, uh, this guy named eddie penny, who started talking about his, a lot of his faith testimony, and like I was like just praying in my while I was driving.

00:19:30.365 --> 00:19:31.026
I just started praying.

00:19:31.026 --> 00:19:46.365
I was like lord, like sean ryan, this dude has influence, this dude has a huge reach, like the works he could do for you well beyond what me or many other people could do opportunity because of his opportunity and stuff.

00:19:46.365 --> 00:19:47.388
And then also for himself.

00:19:47.489 --> 00:19:52.892
And like to see this guy who has been on a long journey and he's a guy who deals with anger issues big time.

00:19:52.892 --> 00:19:54.747
He like, I mean, he, he can't even control it.

00:19:54.747 --> 00:19:58.469
Sometimes something triggers him on the show and he just starts going.

00:19:58.469 --> 00:19:59.290
He just spouts off about it.

00:19:59.290 --> 00:19:59.852
He can't help it.

00:19:59.852 --> 00:20:04.551
He has passion, which is awesome, but you can tell he struggles with, like, anger and struggles with with that stuff.

00:20:04.551 --> 00:20:16.434
And so I was just like, I was just praying, like you know, like lord, like and I do this for a lot of celebrities, so I'm just like lord, that guy grab hold of him please.

00:20:16.434 --> 00:20:30.788
And uh, it was like two months later, you know, he uh this tweet comes out where he just says hey guys, um, today I'm reading the bible, so today I'm reading the bible and then, a couple weeks later, he's like I feel like it was a couple, I think it was the next day yeah, it was pretty fast.

00:20:30.808 --> 00:20:31.069
He's like.

00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:34.078
He's like I don't know what happened, but I'm a christian, you know.

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:46.545
Pretty much was like, there's like yeah, I remember like seeing them on youtube, like because I don't have twitter and stuff, and I just was seeing him posting his screenshots from twitter and he was like today I decided to do something I've never done before.

00:20:46.545 --> 00:20:51.634
I'm going to sit down and read the bible and then it's like the next day is like.

00:20:51.634 --> 00:20:59.961
The amount of truth in this book is undeniable it has answers I've looked for for a long time and could not find next day.

00:21:01.324 --> 00:21:13.463
I am undeniably ready to give my life to jesus it was like so fast you could tell he was like damn dude, there's some power here, and so I just I shot him a message and he just on instagram.

00:21:13.463 --> 00:21:16.090
I was like, I was like I'm shooting him a message, screw it.

00:21:16.090 --> 00:21:21.603
I was like I've been seeing your posts about uh, about going to church, wanted to reach out to you with encouragement.

00:21:21.603 --> 00:21:28.384
A few months back, after listening to your podcast for a while, I I asked that christ would come for you and reveal himself to you.

00:21:28.384 --> 00:21:34.960
I say this not from any position of claiming any credit, because it's Christ who calls us, but from a place of humility.

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:39.445
I just wanted you to know that he has been at work in your life and people care about you.

00:21:39.445 --> 00:21:44.269
Just shot that over and he didn't respond, that's okay.

00:21:44.690 --> 00:21:45.250
That is okay.

00:21:46.583 --> 00:21:51.526
But on his next podcast that came out, he was just like addressed it.

00:21:51.526 --> 00:21:58.574
He was like you guys have no idea how many messages I received that you were praying for me to become a Christian.

00:21:58.574 --> 00:22:03.111
He was like I'm overwhelmed at the amount of people out there who are praying for me.

00:22:03.111 --> 00:22:04.786
He's like it's just incredible.

00:22:04.786 --> 00:22:20.480
So like yeah, and so, like I said, there's like no credit to me, but just like this, like Cool to be a part of it, cool to be a part of it, cool to be a part of it, and the power of prayer and like watching something unfold, watching people's minds open up and change and watching them really become tilled soil.

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.662
That's like a big thing about.

00:22:21.662 --> 00:22:25.750
Like you know, some people do have like a road to Damascus.

00:22:26.712 --> 00:22:35.173
You know Scales fell from the skies, yeah, like a Paul the assault paul moment where they're converted, and then for lots of other guys it's like you're more like the.

00:22:35.173 --> 00:22:39.248
I don't know you're the, you're the peter guy, you know, and you're just like you got to be tilled up for a long time.

00:22:39.248 --> 00:22:51.207
You got to keep on getting uh, ground up and prepared for those things to be planted and then come out in you and so the yeah, sean ryan is just as I was excited about it and it was.

00:22:51.207 --> 00:22:55.054
It's been cool to watch him like, engage it and also like continue in it.

00:22:55.054 --> 00:23:14.101
Cause and we'll talk more about this later Cause I think that it's a celebrity type Christians and Sean Ryan probably doesn't even consider himself really like a celebrity, but in many ways, like he has, he does have a huge following, he is an influencer, he's like he's.

00:23:14.101 --> 00:23:15.305
Has he been top one yet on on podcast for apple or spotify?

00:23:15.305 --> 00:23:16.628
I think he's been, depending on your metrics.

00:23:16.628 --> 00:23:17.853
He's been up there.

00:23:18.154 --> 00:23:30.527
You know he's, I know he's like consistently number like three or number two at times I just don't know if he's like held that number one spot for any amount of time enough that, like a lot of people, tune in into that.

00:23:30.686 --> 00:23:32.830
Oh yeah, right, oh yeah, and so huge, huge for me.

00:23:33.151 --> 00:23:34.512
Um, yeah, the uh.

00:23:34.512 --> 00:23:46.763
So I just I think it's, I think it's cool to see happen, especially for people who, um it, gives the Testament to to Christ and who he is, and how people can change Cause.

00:23:46.763 --> 00:24:18.487
Being someone who, being someone who did, like grow up in the church, my testimony is like is just different in that you know it has its own story and its own value, but the story, like a lot of these people who we see start coming to Christ, they are able to identify with and engage with an audience that doesn't wouldn't necessarily want to hear from me, me about like I grew up listening to bible stories and I still think it's cool, right, like that sort of thing.

00:24:18.487 --> 00:24:30.861
So, um, we, uh, because you know some others, other people who started like kind of outwardly professing their faith, um, alan Richardson from Reacher, and I also think his first big role is Blue Mountain State.

00:24:31.563 --> 00:24:42.047
Yeah, which I don't know when he became a believer, because I don't think it was recently, but he's been doing the InstaChurch YouTube channel for a while.

00:24:42.047 --> 00:24:55.311
I think it's his way of being in church, I think it's his way of having fellowship with Christians, because he's mentioned on there several times like, due to acting, it's almost impossible for him to get into a church on Sundays, right, like a regular service.

00:24:55.311 --> 00:25:00.730
Right, because he's he's just filming, he's filming, and on set a lot and a lot of stuff right now.

00:25:00.990 --> 00:25:23.564
Yeah, and I think it was semi-recent in that, like at least grabbing hold of his faith greater because he did, uh, he's wrestled with suicide, he's a he's bipolar, diagnosed bipolar and so, and his faith is what he says, you know, like is the thing that does keep him grounded and holding on to things, um it.

00:25:23.564 --> 00:26:00.461
But then we have other people who are like tiptoeing around the faith and wondering about it and the like, jordan Peterson, I think you know, and I think that he has a lot of like Judeo-Christian values and because he has a wide, open mind, he can, or because of the way his mind thinks and works, it aligns well with, like a systematic theology, thinking and things like that, so he's able to like, understand it and see the value in it.

00:26:00.461 --> 00:26:05.842
But I don't know that he's come to a place of like grace and freedom I was gonna say.

00:26:05.902 --> 00:26:23.986
I think the issue is that is that jordan peterson, from what I understand of, just like his understanding of christianity, judaism, um and the world in the mind, I think I think he recognizes his depravity a lot and I don't think he's out of.

00:26:23.986 --> 00:26:34.438
He doesn't come off to me as someone who and you know, I mean I don't, I don't worship guy, I haven't consumed every single thing he said, right, but I have listened to a decent amount of his talks, I guess.

00:26:34.438 --> 00:26:35.701
Especially I listened to.

00:26:35.701 --> 00:26:46.528
I listened to way more of his early stuff that was just him in the classroom speaking and I've listened, listened to interviews, but he seems to me as someone who struggles with the can I be saved?

00:26:46.528 --> 00:27:01.710
Because I do understand my sin, you know what I mean and it seems like I think for him the hurdle might be more his ability to accept grace for the depravity of mankind than it is like.

00:27:02.190 --> 00:27:13.861
Oh, I just don't know if I can justify the logic behind it and I think too, like, of like Jesus being a good example and a good thing, but like being like did he rise from the grave?

00:27:13.861 --> 00:27:15.664
Yeah, I don't like.

00:27:15.664 --> 00:27:21.445
My, my like line of logic and my line of thinking would say no right or and and or.

00:27:21.445 --> 00:27:40.480
Something intellectuals struggle with would be like okay, um, the world, it's a big place, it's been around for a long time, so how can something that happened to a very small little subsect group of people, um, be like the thing that was the answer for all of mankind's needs?

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:56.005
It's, it's the question I I think through myself too at times, but like so I think that's that can be a hang up as well for going for how people think through these things, and it's very easy to say christianity and it's like basic tenants is good, living, 10 commandments, whatever.

00:27:56.465 --> 00:27:57.067
But that's like.

00:27:57.067 --> 00:27:58.471
But like it is.

00:27:58.471 --> 00:28:08.800
But like Jesus didn't come to bring the 10 commandments, he came to like do something even even crazier, bigger and different than that and more radical and yet more freeing.

00:28:08.800 --> 00:28:21.549
And so it's like a it's taken that next step, Cause I think that, um, with a lot of like celebrity Christians too, they actually just fall under being good, good people.

00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:26.628
We're just interested, maybe never really changed the lifestyle.

00:28:26.628 --> 00:28:27.653
Yeah, I don't know.

00:28:27.653 --> 00:28:56.527
I also, like, I mean, you know, I'm one of those people who just doesn't put a whole ton of stock in it until I feel like I see like a legitimate transparent, transparent, like fruit, right, and I guess I just feel like, with you know, um, alan richson and, uh, sean ryan, I can see fruit, you know, and not saying that the bee Biebs or Shia LaBeouf ain't saved or something, or they're not legitimate.

00:28:56.527 --> 00:29:00.951
I'm just saying it's a lot harder at that level of celebrity to see fruit.

00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:48.067
And that's really how I judge from like a, from an individual person's level of like understanding, like where someone's faith is at, and if it comes off as genuine At the same time, it doesn't matter that much, right, like I mean, it doesn't matter that much to our own individual daily walk, right, right, because the uh and I, I agree that you know like we shouldn't put them on pedestals because, um, and these are some points that I will I was even going to get into more in a second because I want to talk about one more person first, which was really two people in particular, but Joe Rogan has been touted lately by Christian influencers as like is Joe Rogan following Jesus now?

00:29:48.067 --> 00:29:51.993
And I would say no, but I think a no, no, but if you.

00:29:51.993 --> 00:30:06.445
But, but I think I think a fair answer is could, joe wrote, if Joe Rogan 2024 talk to Joe Rogan 2019 about what they thought about faith and religion, they'd have two different answers.

00:30:06.445 --> 00:30:07.248
Oh, yeah, for sure.

00:30:07.248 --> 00:30:27.633
Um, because I think, similar to like Sean Ryan's interview guests opening his curiosity, I think that I think that uh Rogan had a lot of uh, he just have a lot of like, kind of your standard quips and comebacks for, like, why, like, Christianity is wrong, which it's very easy to do.

00:30:27.692 --> 00:30:34.597
It's you know, talking about institutionalized religion, stuff in the uh, stuff in the Catholic church, stuff in the Baptist church.

00:30:34.597 --> 00:30:42.065
You know these things of hypocrites and people and, like you know, it's it's it's very easy to tear down Christianity based upon it's.

00:30:42.065 --> 00:30:49.690
You know it's uh, it's institutions and it's downfalls of individuals who are not Jesus.

00:30:49.690 --> 00:30:50.954
They are people.

00:30:50.954 --> 00:30:53.685
So you know that's another conversation around.

00:30:53.685 --> 00:31:05.527
You know institutionalized religion but like in like Joe Rogan today, after like hanging out with I think he's hung out and interviewed a lot more people who he's found he respects, who have faith.

00:31:05.926 --> 00:31:06.127
Yeah.

00:31:06.288 --> 00:31:13.904
And so instead of, and so the people who have, and so instead of, and so the people who have have faith and he respects.

00:31:13.904 --> 00:31:16.789
He's able to now be like um, not just open, more open-minded to it.

00:31:16.789 --> 00:31:30.663
But I think it's, it's paradoxical or confusing for someone like him to say, okay, like, I want to be like that person more, or I really appreciate that person more, and like or there is, or even if I don't appreciate them, like I don't deny their logic.

00:31:30.865 --> 00:31:31.865
Right, and then to go.

00:31:31.865 --> 00:31:34.848
Is there validity to this thing?

00:31:34.848 --> 00:31:46.269
Because one thing you talk about for a long time is being all out there on aliens, extraterrestrial like other out there, things, bigger, wider universe things, yeah, which actually we've talked about this before lends itself to that opens yourself to a conversation about God, in my opinion.

00:31:46.269 --> 00:31:49.740
Oh yeah, that opens yourself to a conversation about God, in my opinion.

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:51.740
Oh yeah.

00:31:51.740 --> 00:32:06.413
And so you know with him, I don't know where you know, I'd say I probably do know where he stands in some ways, as far as he doesn't hasn't outwardly like proclaim stuff, but I think it's interesting to watch his like progression.

00:32:06.413 --> 00:32:08.354
And wouldn't that be wild to follow someone day?

00:32:08.354 --> 00:32:11.056
He just is like guys I'm following.

00:32:11.076 --> 00:32:11.517
Jesus.

00:32:11.517 --> 00:32:16.301
I mean it'd be outside of like anything else.

00:32:16.301 --> 00:32:21.332
I'd just be happy for him, because I genuinely do think I agree with it.

00:32:21.332 --> 00:32:49.262
Like what you're saying is like he just seems like he's become a much more balanced and peaceful person, and I just remember he used to be very, um like vehement about religion as a whole and he just seems like, as time has gone on and as society has behaved it the way it has, he seems like he's realized like it'd probably be good if more people actually subscribe to a moral code that we all shared.

00:32:49.262 --> 00:32:49.805
You.

00:32:49.805 --> 00:33:03.644
He seems like he's following the path of the logical, philosophical path of benefits of religion versus who's right or who's wrong about X, Y, Z.

00:33:03.644 --> 00:33:04.508
You know what I mean.

00:33:04.508 --> 00:33:07.749
I don't know All I said.

00:33:07.749 --> 00:33:11.104
I'll keep praying for him when he becomes a believer.

00:33:11.104 --> 00:33:14.567
That doesn't change what you and I do, right that doesn't that shouldn't change what any of us do.

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:20.248
We should just be cool, keep praying for him and keep sharing the gospel with other people.

00:33:20.248 --> 00:33:24.559
Right, definitely Russell Brand was the other one, though.

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:25.644
Right, because he's like he's.

00:33:25.644 --> 00:33:29.007
He's look, boy looks hungry for the gospel he's.

00:33:29.147 --> 00:33:31.001
He's outwardly and openly been like.

00:33:31.001 --> 00:33:38.942
This is my thing now, like and like it, because I didn't know about that till last night when I this video popped up.

00:33:38.942 --> 00:33:48.269
He was talking about good friday and he just like I don't know why it gave me goosebumps, maybe because I feel like he was speaking truth and it was just interesting to see this guy.

00:33:48.269 --> 00:33:53.163
Um, you know, and he's had a this, the the arc of russell brandt has been quite the arc.

00:33:53.163 --> 00:33:53.464
You could.

00:33:53.464 --> 00:34:00.310
You could do a whole three-hour breakdown on like, from forgetting sarah marshall to now, or whatever you know, you know.

00:34:00.351 --> 00:34:22.570
Excellent movie probably, like I think I made that movie my wife's favorite rom-com, really yeah, that's hilarious and so, um, but you know, he just was like and also is because it's very easy for people to get up and just say, um, generally good things, like we're saying about Joe Rogan, jordan Peterson and I was talking about the 10 commandments.

00:34:22.570 --> 00:34:36.833
It's like, yes, it's very easy to just say, yeah, these are good things, good ways to live your life, like, and yeah, like people don't dispute those things, but the, the power of jesus and the power of and christianity lies in really a much deeper thing.

00:34:36.833 --> 00:34:57.755
And it looked to me like and like like the way russell brandt talks in that video was like he was in those next steps of like, uh, just going beyond that, like let's be good people, and he was like examining the heart of man and why christ came and for the deeper things, and so it's just interesting to me.

00:34:57.755 --> 00:34:59.581
And I was like man, I need to see more about this.

00:34:59.581 --> 00:35:02.550
I've watched a couple of videos he did and stuff and like we'll see.

00:35:02.550 --> 00:35:12.733
Like you know where that goes and I think he's very much kind of like, you know, I think like shia, who's, like he deals with a lot of, uh, just an eccentric person.

00:35:12.733 --> 00:35:19.586
You like have a lot of mood swings and ideology swings and things like that too, and so we'll see where all that goes.

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:27.086
But I don't know, have you noticed that Christians are very quick to adopt somebody as a Christian?

00:35:27.086 --> 00:35:30.226
Oh yeah, oh yeah, just like they're like, oh, did you hear?

00:35:30.226 --> 00:35:31.110
Did you hear he's a Christian?

00:35:31.110 --> 00:35:38.166
Like as if that's proof in Christianity which is a proof for a case of God and Christ.

00:35:38.166 --> 00:36:30.804
If you know, kanye bro, yeah, yeah, like when he did, or like yeah, and I think too, when, like Shia LaBeouf came out and said something, or people put their put too much stock in in these, these, these people who profess their faith, because I've seen it with the most influential, powerful type people down to the most lowly, you know, kind of people in the world, where they they're all about it, they're high on life and that seed gets choked out in the rocks and in the things of life, and the birds come and eat that seed and it goes away and um, because really they're just little weak babies, and so I think about that for all these not insulting right like they're.

00:36:31.226 --> 00:36:34.831
That's as a new believer scripture says yes, thank you.

00:36:34.831 --> 00:36:51.876
They, they are like a baby, that they need milk and honey and they need you to, kind of like, gently help them understand the things that might be difficult to accept about christianity or something and, you know, uh, nurture them if you give, mentor them.

00:36:52.097 --> 00:36:58.697
Yeah, if you, if you give a two-month-old a rare piece of steak, like a $120 steak, they might choke on it.

00:36:58.697 --> 00:37:01.815
They might choke on it or it's going to upset their stomach, they're going to spit it out.

00:37:01.815 --> 00:37:04.751
It's not going to be good for them and then a bird will come and get them.

00:37:04.751 --> 00:37:13.577
Yeah, but you give, like you know, 50-year-old man that rare steak.

00:37:14.606 --> 00:37:15.469
Man, that is good.

00:37:15.469 --> 00:37:16.847
He might still like milk and honey.

00:37:17.289 --> 00:37:18.010
Yeah, he likes it too.

00:37:18.132 --> 00:37:25.409
But he likes the tough meat, but that steak, it hits the spot on there.

00:37:25.409 --> 00:37:35.612
So with the new baby celebrity Christians, I pray for them Because they're also going to be under attack more than others Just because they're in the limelight.

00:37:35.612 --> 00:37:46.373
I think both in the physical and in the supernatural they will be under an attack, because that's what you know the easiest thing is, you know, so such and such becomes christian.

00:37:46.373 --> 00:37:47.054
Oh, did you hear?

00:37:47.054 --> 00:37:57.150
This came out that now he had an affair or something, or embezzled money or whatever like, and it's so quick to like then now we can tear down their faith and like oh, oh see, that wasn't even real, he didn't even follow Jesus, he messed up.

00:37:57.329 --> 00:38:01.014
Well, I think that's just the thing too is like celebrities.

00:38:01.014 --> 00:38:13.170
They're the things that the Bible and, you know, christianity would label as sin, are often glorified, and it's once they become a Christian.

00:38:13.170 --> 00:38:19.070
All that is very visible, very clear, and everyone likes to bring it back up.

00:38:19.070 --> 00:38:36.260
Um, yes, scandals do come out and, like you know I'll say rightfully so like if someone, if a celebrity, becomes a christian and then a scam comes out that you know there's evidence and there's reason to believe, like, oh, they hurt someone, they should face those consequences.

00:38:36.260 --> 00:38:40.039
Like, just because you're a christian doesn't mean you don't face the consequences of your actions.

00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.909
Right, but it doesn't negate the validity of their faith.

00:38:42.909 --> 00:38:43.449
Exactly.

00:38:43.530 --> 00:38:53.509
And like I think that's one thing too that I see more clearly when a celebrity becomes a believer is that they get caught off guard because someone hasn't prepared them for the whole.

00:38:53.509 --> 00:38:55.954
The world will hate you, yeah.

00:38:55.954 --> 00:38:57.978
Like that's, that's a promise, dude.

00:38:57.978 --> 00:38:59.992
Like if you love Jesus, the world will.

00:38:59.992 --> 00:39:05.552
The world will hate you, yeah, and uh, you know, I think that's something that is way more clearly seen at that level.

00:39:05.552 --> 00:39:07.664
Right, I remember I here's a thing too.

00:39:07.684 --> 00:39:14.353
I'll just say it's like I still, until I hear it from Kanye himself, I still believe that man trusts in Jesus and I think he's mentally ill.

00:39:14.353 --> 00:39:24.552
I think he's mentally ill, I think he's mentally in need of help and I think that doesn't negate the fact that he trusts in Jesus.

00:39:24.552 --> 00:40:01.974
Right, but like the fact is is like I think I saw that very clearly with him when, like you know, his wife wanted to leave him afterwards and she's the one that got the divorce stuff and his record label, you know, was kind of like, oh dude, like this record's not selling and it's, you're talking, a lot about jesus on it, and he faced a lot of like backlash from fans and stuff and like I've never been a big kanye fan, I've never listened to a ton of his music, but I definitely feel like when he started wanting to do stuff and implement his faith his newfound faith and you know his livelihood.

00:40:02.585 --> 00:40:05.233
It was when I saw like dude, the world does not like that guy.

00:40:05.644 --> 00:40:07.152
Yep, yep, yep.

00:40:07.152 --> 00:40:14.815
And like the things he said in, like recent news would be like he's not necessarily a representative of Christ.

00:40:14.815 --> 00:40:15.706
Yeah.

00:40:15.887 --> 00:40:18.735
Which is why I say that's the mental illness Exactly.

00:40:19.829 --> 00:40:28.876
And his like shortcomings as a human and then to say, also like someone who maybe wants to progress, because I was thinking about the, talking about the how it's harder.

00:40:28.876 --> 00:40:41.400
And it's like the story of a rich young ruler in the Bible, you know, and this guy comes to Jesus and he's like I've done everything good, like I'm doing all the good stuff, and he names off all the 10 commandments.

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:44.969
I've kept all these things, you know.

00:40:44.969 --> 00:40:50.894
And Jesus just tells him he's like, all right, that's good, now go sell everything and come follow me.

00:40:50.894 --> 00:40:58.050
And he's like I can't do that, yeah, and he walks away, sad, you know, I can't do that, yeah, and he walks away, sad, you know.

00:40:58.050 --> 00:40:59.773
And it's just this, you know, uh, very much.

00:40:59.813 --> 00:41:07.313
So celebrities fall into the rich young ruler category of like oh sure, you've got the world at your fingertips and you got to let the world go.

00:41:07.313 --> 00:41:08.235
Yeah, you know.

00:41:08.235 --> 00:41:10.427
And it's like that can be cause.

00:41:10.427 --> 00:41:18.197
Then, right after that, jesus goes on to say it it's harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than to stick the camel through the eye of a needle, right?

00:41:18.197 --> 00:41:27.945
So like he's saying, like it's very difficult for a, you know, someone who has has it all has everything to relinquish those things, and I think it's true.

00:41:27.945 --> 00:41:35.016
And so I do think we find celebrities, you know, and people in power who also they.

00:41:35.016 --> 00:41:37.293
They come on hot and strong and then they can.

00:41:37.293 --> 00:41:43.710
They can fall pretty hot and strong too in that same way.

00:41:43.710 --> 00:41:45.797
But all that to say, it's just interesting to watch these people.

00:41:45.797 --> 00:41:57.510
It's encouraging to see people do these things and to find faith, and then also it's like I am always in prayer for those folks because they're up in a battle.

00:41:57.791 --> 00:42:09.871
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yep, um, pivoting on some Judeo Christian world news, um, uh, but just some stuff that came out about Israel.

00:42:09.871 --> 00:42:21.034
You know we're we try to keep the new stuff like rather relevant to what we're talking about, and this will be quick, you know, cause we don't want to spend too much time on this and you know we have other stuff we want to discuss.

00:42:21.034 --> 00:42:41.574
But, yeah, so Israel today, like and I guess when you guys are hearing this it'll be about a week later but Israel is suspected of a missile strike against an Iranian embassy in Syria that took out seven Iranian, seven Iranian military uh officials, and three of them were like military commanders.

00:42:41.574 --> 00:42:47.268
One of them was a top general overseeing the weapon shipments from Tehran into Syria to arm Hezbollah.

00:42:47.268 --> 00:42:57.612
And, uh, a lot of people are worried this is going to escalate beyond proxy war between Israel and Iran to like natural retaliatory stuff.

00:42:57.612 --> 00:43:00.117
But, um, yeah, we'll see.

00:43:00.117 --> 00:43:02.032
We'll see what happens and falls out from that.

00:43:02.032 --> 00:43:04.652
But Israel declined on uh, saying that.

00:43:04.652 --> 00:43:06.155
You know this was them.

00:43:06.396 --> 00:43:06.577
Yeah.

00:43:06.784 --> 00:43:16.585
But they did say we did stop, uh, an Iranian's weapon shipment effort to the West bank on Monday, which is like, oh, I don't know, we To the West.

00:43:16.606 --> 00:43:18.289
Bank on Monday which is like I don't know.

00:43:18.289 --> 00:43:31.045
We declined to comment on that missile strike, but we did stop a guy trying to get weapons into Hezbollah yeah what?

00:43:31.045 --> 00:43:34.650
But anyways, if you're interested in that, there's a lot of news pieces at that.

00:43:34.650 --> 00:43:42.505
The videos that I've mainly watched are coming out of Reuters, for the Israel bombs Iran embassy in Syria, killing commanders if you all want to look it up and listen to the news yourself.

00:43:42.505 --> 00:43:55.210
They did say, you know, iran's ambassador in the area did say, like Iran it's, they're gonna retaliate and it'll be swift and it'll be harsh, which you know is to be expected.

00:43:55.210 --> 00:43:57.007
I mean, that's what any nation does.

00:43:57.007 --> 00:44:10.431
If another nation takes out their one of their top generals, right, like you got to retaliate to not look weak, or at least say you're going to yeah, or at least say you're going to, and then have put the bomb in someone else's hands um, hot potato it, but uh.

00:44:11.152 --> 00:44:35.360
That said, though I noticed this last week a lot of people in our little small town here were really pissed, because in our small town we I'm sure you know we're not the only town experiencing this there's a lot of people who for some reason think our town, our city council, needs to have a bill and a vote to have a ceasefire in Gaza.

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:53.891
And like a lot of us are like, yeah, you know, we want the war to stop, we don't want innocent people to die, but like we are also aware enough that no one gives two Fs about our tongue being like we motion for the ceasefire and it's just like who?

00:44:54.673 --> 00:45:03.907
What she doesn't even go here Exactly it's just like who what?

00:45:03.927 --> 00:45:04.728
she doesn't even go here exactly.

00:45:04.728 --> 00:45:09.382
And um, this week, this protesting, they went in with red graffiti, like red spray paint, just spray painted ceasefire for gaza.

00:45:09.382 --> 00:45:10.144
Um, on businesses.

00:45:10.144 --> 00:45:14.710
And you know what they assume is the city owns it.

00:45:14.710 --> 00:45:25.146
I think Right, but it's really like business property that, like our city, council, government, local government, just tells the business owners you have to.

00:45:25.146 --> 00:45:31.273
You have until this deadline to clean this graffiti off, otherwise you're going to have a fine and like.

00:45:31.273 --> 00:45:45.219
So, like all the small town business owners are like F this in this, like effort to whatever, like whatever these people are going for, I'm not with it because now I have to spend my money to clean up their graffiti.

00:45:45.219 --> 00:45:48.331
You know their um, uh, what's the term?

00:45:48.331 --> 00:45:49.815
Vandalism.

00:45:49.815 --> 00:46:00.298
Vandalism, yeah, um, and they have no accountability to it and they think this is doing something to win people over when it's really just making more people pissed.

00:46:00.625 --> 00:46:02.371
I hope that was store owners who.

00:46:04.166 --> 00:46:04.809
A lot of it was.

00:46:04.809 --> 00:46:07.092
Were like a lot of store owners.

00:46:07.092 --> 00:46:15.072
I was on the Reddits and a lot of them were like look man, I'm as far left as it goes, but this is bullshit.

00:46:15.072 --> 00:46:16.637
That's good, that's good.

00:46:16.637 --> 00:46:20.672
My salon doesn't have anything to do, any power to stop this bring them to the.

00:46:20.853 --> 00:46:21.353
It'll bring them.

00:46:21.614 --> 00:46:35.429
Bring them to the light on how some of that, uh, some of that protest in the city and it just makes me so mad because these people who are doing this in our town aren't going to be here in the next six months to four years and have no real.

00:46:35.528 --> 00:46:38.597
They just have no real influence within their own circles.

00:46:38.597 --> 00:46:41.309
Cities, states, worlds Like yeah, they're.

00:46:41.389 --> 00:46:59.266
They're here in a college town for a season of time, you know, usually four, four to six years, and then they leave there and so, like there's just no accountability for their actions, right, cause it's not, it's not their hometown, right, and so it just really frustrates me.

00:46:59.266 --> 00:47:48.393
Um, but uh, on that note too, you know, not like the, this isn't fear mongering, anything but like uh, we saw the terror attack uh in russia last week, um isis k attacking that city hall and um, the russian officials are actually like, after their interrogations and research, are like warning the us, like hey, just so you know, like these guys are telling us that there's plans for the us too, like they're, and so a lot of people are starting to like people a lot of uh national officials are across the us and Europe are paying attention to this, because ISIS-K really was like did not have this ability to do an operation like this a couple years ago, and this just shows like the Taliban aren't able to keep ISIS-K under control.

00:47:48.393 --> 00:48:02.675
Like a lot of people thought with like the pullout from Afghanistan, that, like the government that would come into place there would kind of be able to choke down these more radical and out of control, uh, terrorist groups, and they just haven't been able to do it.

00:48:02.675 --> 00:48:04.378
Um, it was.

00:48:04.378 --> 00:48:17.498
It was interesting, I was reading it too the russian officials commented that while that city hall attack occurred, they successfully were thwarting another isis k attack plot in Moscow that was targeting a synagogue.

00:48:17.498 --> 00:48:28.853
So it's like could have, like it was a two-tiered attack plan with two separate groups and you know, it's just kind of like a whack-a-mole issue of like it's the classic terrorist cell thing.

00:48:28.853 --> 00:48:33.731
This is how they operate and the idea is like you cut off one head, there's another one striking somewhere else.

00:48:33.731 --> 00:48:39.947
So all I I said just stuff to pay attention in the news and be reading about, to stay informed.

00:48:39.947 --> 00:48:43.335
Uh, you know, world's a crazy place right now.

00:48:43.335 --> 00:48:47.449
Um, and what's also crazy, kind of funny, oregon.

00:48:48.472 --> 00:48:57.409
Oregon signed a bill this week, uh, that was recriminalizing drugs, uh, that were originally decriminalized a couple of years ago.

00:48:57.409 --> 00:49:00.893
Oregon, out of COVID, passed this bill.

00:49:00.893 --> 00:49:06.990
They were like, yeah, so like, no longer a crime to have small amounts of possession of drugs and not of heavy narcotics.

00:49:06.990 --> 00:49:11.054
If you're a dealer, we'll get you, but if you're a user, don't worry, not a crime.

00:49:11.054 --> 00:49:25.380
And with that the governor just signed this bill and essentially is, like you know, if you get caught with small amount of drugs like fentanyl or other, like opioids, heavy drugs, it's a misdemeanor charge up to six months in jail.

00:49:26.525 --> 00:49:53.989
And I was like, I was just interested because, like a lot of people I know have touted that this bill was going to be good and that it has been good and that the statistics back it up, that the original increase, yeah, that it didn't increase violent crime, that it decreased drug usage and criminal and like whatever xyz and in the words of kurt russell, from the hateful, I say horse shit, horse shit.

00:49:53.989 --> 00:50:06.297
Um, because, uh, statistics show that from 2020 to 2022, when the bill was passed over, death, overdose, deaths with these types of drugs increased 75 in oregon.

00:50:06.297 --> 00:50:07.481
That's a lot of percents.

00:50:07.481 --> 00:50:13.813
Violent crime increased 70 17 in oregon during that time, while decreasing at a national level.

00:50:15.014 --> 00:50:25.664
Um, and it's not just oregon, it's like colorado has had a thing like this um, pennsylvania, new york, california, all of them are seeing the same kind of stats coming out of it.

00:50:25.664 --> 00:50:34.851
Colorado's is not nearly, not nearly as much like in the violent crime spike compared to the national stuff, like we're still actually a little bit under but we're about to cross over.

00:50:34.851 --> 00:50:40.920
But the suicide and OD rates are above the national level.

00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:57.847
So just because the show, like everyone said, everyone, everyone was like hey, some common sense here indicates that this will not work, and people like, no, no, no, you're wrong, you're an idiot.

00:50:57.847 --> 00:51:03.652
And then now they're like okay, under the carpet, back that up roll that back.

00:51:03.773 --> 00:51:04.576
This did not work.

00:51:04.576 --> 00:51:05.358
It's not work.

00:51:05.378 --> 00:51:16.713
Back it up and it's exactly like the defund police stuff where, like all those departments are now getting like twice the amount of funding they had beforehand to try to catch up, yeah, and triple the amount of calls that they were having.

00:51:17.333 --> 00:51:24.291
It just seems like it should go without saying, like that drugs should be illegal.

00:51:24.291 --> 00:51:26.012
Feels like some emperor's new clothes, stuff.

00:51:26.012 --> 00:51:33.128
And here's the deal Should you go to jail for multiple years of your life for a bag of weed?

00:51:33.128 --> 00:51:34.231
I don't think so.

00:51:34.231 --> 00:51:34.612
I don't know.

00:51:34.612 --> 00:51:38.606
Probably not, because you could smoke a whole bag of weed and not die.

00:51:38.606 --> 00:51:42.177
You could give it to your buddy and he would not die either.

00:51:42.177 --> 00:51:45.005
But should you be smoking weed?

00:51:45.266 --> 00:52:03.592
maybe, maybe, probably not, but I mean the latest big study on where it's legalized says it is like one of the highest uh leading like habitual marijuana use, highest leading causes to cardiac arrest now Really Amongst the population that uses it.

00:52:03.664 --> 00:52:06.355
People are just high all the time and they're jacking their hearts up.

00:52:06.677 --> 00:52:13.552
Yeah, I mean I don't know what it is, because I would imagine your heart rate doesn't go up that much all stoned it's because you eat more fat shack, I don't know.

00:52:13.692 --> 00:52:16.077
Maybe, yeah, your cholesterol levels get up high from the.

00:52:16.117 --> 00:52:24.431
Cheetos, munchies, just handfuls of Cheerios out of the box, but fentanyl, heroin, meth, these things.

00:52:25.668 --> 00:52:36.271
The thing I was saying was you shouldn't have your life taken away and be jailed for certain things, but even in this case, going to jail for six months for being caught with these heavy narcotics.

00:52:36.271 --> 00:52:41.632
If the jail system that's one thing needs to be addressed, it's the jail system.

00:52:41.632 --> 00:52:45.365
But but six months that gives you time to clean up.

00:52:45.365 --> 00:52:59.561
That gives you time like, like if you're, if you're an addict and you want out of being an addict now you can get drugs in prison too, but it's harder and I will say it seems way harder at a local jail level.

00:52:59.742 --> 00:53:01.827
Right, this, this, would you just go to jail?

00:53:01.827 --> 00:53:03.070
You won't even go to prison, right?

00:53:03.550 --> 00:53:13.786
so it's like I think the jail programs are way better at keeping stuff out than the prison programs, I agree, and and the, that seems like six months to clean up your stuff.

00:53:13.786 --> 00:53:18.155
That could be great for you, yeah, and it's great to get it off the street and it's great that you didn't die.

00:53:18.155 --> 00:53:24.505
And, like the, um, it just makes sense, yeah, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

00:53:24.505 --> 00:53:26.809
We'll see if, um, what's it?

00:53:26.809 --> 00:53:28.713
Shay shay, what's the?

00:53:28.713 --> 00:53:32.119
Is the city inside of chas?

00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:33.826
Is chas still no dude?

00:53:33.826 --> 00:53:35.086
That is way gone.

00:53:35.086 --> 00:53:35.748
It's's way gone.

00:53:35.748 --> 00:53:37.630
We got to talk about Chaz.

00:53:37.670 --> 00:53:39.271
Chaz will live in our hearts forever.

00:53:39.271 --> 00:53:43.014
Dude Chaz, to me, was like I was just like yes, let it break down.

00:53:43.014 --> 00:53:45.436
So that way everyone can see we don't want that.

00:53:45.436 --> 00:53:55.369
Like, let it break down in a small area with people who think it's going to be okay, so that way the rest of the world can see it and be like yeah, okay.

00:53:55.409 --> 00:54:22.400
So we all knew that Venezuela is not what we wanted and here it is, in small scale in America, and we still agree with it's not what we want Yep, and the only things about it, the only reasons why it could last as long as it did or be, as quote unquote, good as it was for a short time, because it was insulate that the communism, socialism only functions well or has a chance of functioning within a capitalist bubble.

00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.675
Meaning they're like there's poop all over the roads and all over the streets.

00:54:27.675 --> 00:54:28.277
What are we going to do?

00:54:28.744 --> 00:54:38.630
Good thing, we pay someone a good amount of money to clean it up, or a good thing, a nonprofit dropped off these porta potties, who was funded by people with jobs, or like you know, this is like you, you know whatever.

00:54:38.630 --> 00:54:40.496
Like we kind of get low on food.

00:54:40.496 --> 00:54:42.190
Oh well, good thing.

00:54:42.190 --> 00:54:53.896
There was a guy who, six months ago, harvested some corn and now, whatever you know, someone's going to donate eventually to you from their pantry, who went out and bought it with their money.

00:54:53.896 --> 00:54:59.677
Like the, it only can exist within the within only can exist within the capitalist bubble.

00:54:59.677 --> 00:55:04.836
In my opinion, that's a very short-sighted and unbroken-down argument.

00:55:04.836 --> 00:55:12.371
But for Chaz, it's a good thing that we got to see, like you said, what it's like to be Venezuela.

00:55:14.106 --> 00:55:19.514
And good news, though there is a drug that's good for you, which is not what Joseph R Nemeth says.

00:55:19.514 --> 00:55:20.617
He's a doctor on YouTube.

00:55:20.617 --> 00:55:29.213
We just review stuff, but he says it's way better for you than the other options, but I just choose to hear him saying it's good.

00:55:29.213 --> 00:55:39.358
I'll let the video the little short play here, but it's his take on Zen and the risks and benefits with Dr Nemeth.

00:55:40.144 --> 00:55:42.211
Have you guys heard about this stuff?

00:55:42.211 --> 00:55:43.677
It's called Zin.

00:55:43.677 --> 00:55:47.869
I want to talk about the potential benefits and the potential risks.

00:55:47.869 --> 00:55:49.393
Apparently, it's very popular.

00:55:49.393 --> 00:55:51.766
I've been talking to some people who've used it.

00:55:51.766 --> 00:55:56.876
I tried a little bit yesterday and I was a zombie for about a half an hour.

00:55:57.056 --> 00:56:05.255
You put it on your gum it goes directly into the bloodstream and if you do it in the same place it can cause irritation.

00:56:05.255 --> 00:56:11.097
But it does not need the typical cancer warning when one is using a tobacco product.

00:56:11.097 --> 00:56:16.757
But I do think if you use it in the same spot all the time it could cause gum recession.

00:56:16.757 --> 00:56:24.157
Generally, younger people are using it and it feels like it makes them sharper, heightens their sense of awareness.

00:56:24.157 --> 00:56:28.034
It's very effective, better than smoking, better than vaping.

00:56:28.034 --> 00:56:39.072
Also because, again, you're not inhaling anything but can be habit forming and for people who are addiction prone, I think this can be very, very dangerous.

00:56:39.213 --> 00:56:49.617
Have you Psych Just kidding, not addiction prone Good addictions, like taking it in order to go poo and taking it right before bed.

00:56:49.637 --> 00:56:50.798
So you go to bed at a good time.

00:56:50.798 --> 00:56:54.032
You sent me that while I was on the toilet.

00:56:54.032 --> 00:56:57.311
I did, and I sent it to you while I was on the toilet.

00:56:57.311 --> 00:56:57.987
Really, we're so synced up.

00:56:57.987 --> 00:56:59.416
Wow, dude, that's me that while I was on the toilet.

00:56:59.436 --> 00:57:21.878
I did, and I sent it to you while I was on the toilet really we're so synced up, dude, that's great, and the uh, um, the images in this video are the b-roll is of like multiple zen cans my signature flavor being sprinkled like, multiple pouches being sprinkled around and stuff and people putting in these, these upper deckers, and I just was like my heart rate went up.

00:57:21.878 --> 00:57:40.773
I was looking on my watch and like my heart rate had increased and my can was out of reach, but I was in mid loaf and I just uh, it was just a very real, palpable moment to say I am addicted to this.

00:57:40.773 --> 00:57:49.632
Sure, yeah, my body and my body had just like like the fact that also like the I didn't just want it in my brain, my body's heart rate like started.

00:57:49.632 --> 00:57:53.996
I could feel it in my arms and my fingers that I wanted it.

00:57:55.367 --> 00:57:58.789
So, it's uh yeah, mine's very like I I don't.

00:57:58.789 --> 00:58:06.458
I'm not gonna say I'm not addicted, but my addiction, I think, is just much more like regimented, you know.

00:58:06.458 --> 00:58:19.809
I mean like I don't really desire it outside of my usual, like I want it when I feel like I need to go number two and I want it before I go to bed, and the rest of the time I never really feel a craving for it.

00:58:19.809 --> 00:58:32.086
I'll just, you know, throw one, throw one in for, honestly, just oral fixation sake, because, like right now I've drank in all my liquid death and now I need something else to do while you talk.

00:58:32.086 --> 00:58:40.179
Yeah, but um, anyways, all I said that's kind, that's kind of the news in the show here, I feel like.

00:58:40.179 --> 00:58:46.157
But one thing I did want to say, because we do talk about, you know, firearms and preparedness and all that jazz.

00:58:48.565 --> 00:59:08.376
I decided to invest in this thing called the Dry Fire Mag and, oh my gosh, has it not been fun as a freaking heck and I think I'm going to throw out some shorts on the YouTube account side of it Of just some actual legitimate methods of practicing and training with it.

00:59:08.425 --> 00:59:14.632
But this company, dry Fire Mag, makes magazines, and this isn't sponsored, but I'd love for it to be.

00:59:14.632 --> 00:59:15.911
They got an affiliate program that I'm looking into and you know this isn't sponsored, but I'd love for it to be.

00:59:15.911 --> 00:59:50.101
They got an affiliate program that I'm looking into but they their magazines with like a spring in a little lever that allows you to actuate the trigger as if it was reset and cycled from firing it around and it keeps you from having to rack your slide every time when you're doing dry fire practice, and it helps eliminate that aspect of training because you don't want that to become a habit forming technique for when you're actually using your firearm and racking out good live rounds.

00:59:50.101 --> 00:59:52.572
And so, all that said, it's been really fun.

00:59:52.572 --> 01:00:11.610
Billie Jean's been helping me out with it, and one thing that I really enjoyed Was she would stand Behind me and she had a timer on her phone and I would be looking at the Spice rack in our kitchen and our spice rack is on a little what's that little spinny Thing called?

01:00:11.851 --> 01:00:14.251
Lazy Susan, I knew it had a lady's name.

01:00:14.990 --> 01:00:19.173
It's not a spice rack on a Lazy Susan, but it's spices along the wall on shelves.

01:00:19.173 --> 01:00:31.572
You can see all their nice little black labels that Billie Jean has made for them and it's very aesthetically pleasing and they're kind of color coded, like the spices the color of the spices are.

01:00:31.572 --> 01:00:45.436
You know, the ones that match are on one shelf and then at the top you have like a different one, right, um, and so she would pick a one at random and she would say it hit the timer.

01:00:45.436 --> 01:01:07.655
I would have to then find it and once I found it, draw, put around, like put a little little clicker in here for the for the people listening, that little click sound is the sound of the trigger clicking and decompressing in the lever actuating um, and once I clicked she would stop the timer and then we just would aggregate the times.

01:01:08.117 --> 01:01:09.523
And how I did it was really fun.

01:01:09.523 --> 01:01:38.931
It felt like great practice for actually practicing draw safely, uh, identification, identification, identifying, uh the target, right with training um, and then, uh, getting that nice good trigger control, um, and it's pretty great because you feel a click when you decompress the trigger and so you can kind of uh, use that to help understand like are you pushing, are you pulling, how's your trigger discipline?

01:01:38.931 --> 01:01:53.726
But then you also get a click for like the feeling of a reset and you can identify if you're flinching or wobbling, uh, when you come off the trigger and how it would affect your follow-up shots.

01:01:53.726 --> 01:01:56.733
And so all I said I really love it, it's been great fun.

01:01:56.733 --> 01:02:04.289
I've probably used it a thousand times already, so that's like a thousand reps and how much money is that saved if you're doing that?

01:02:04.409 --> 01:02:09.152
live you're getting if you're getting, you know, decent range, nine millimeter not decent, but just cheap.

01:02:09.152 --> 01:02:11.563
Nine range, nine millimeter to practice 150 bucks.

01:02:11.563 --> 01:02:12.967
Well, it's now.

01:02:12.967 --> 01:02:18.998
I think it's like sitting at like 20 cents a round, and so that's 200 bucks right there.

01:02:19.505 --> 01:02:21.592
So, all that said, I really like it.

01:02:21.592 --> 01:02:28.338
They don't make them for everything, but they do make them for Glocks and XDs and Smith Wesson MPs.

01:02:28.338 --> 01:02:33.670
So take a look at them and hopefully that they will be a useful practice and training tool for you.

01:02:33.670 --> 01:02:45.681
Be a useful practice and training tool for you, uh, cause we're all about being responsible gun owners and safe gun owners, but also, you know, being legitimately practicing prepared individuals.

01:02:45.681 --> 01:02:48.371
Um, and you can make it a fun game with your spouse.

01:02:48.371 --> 01:02:50.893
So, anyways, pat, that's what I got.

01:02:50.893 --> 01:02:52.626
I really just wanted to hit that there, you know.

01:02:53.706 --> 01:02:54.646
No, I think that's great.

01:02:54.646 --> 01:02:55.907
I'm going to get one.

01:02:55.907 --> 01:02:58.590
You got to get a gun that can take one.

01:02:58.590 --> 01:03:00.952
I know they do have one that fits one of mine.

01:03:00.952 --> 01:03:05.074
Oh, really, it doesn't fit my main deal.

01:03:05.074 --> 01:03:07.275
It's okay, just got to buy more.

01:03:07.275 --> 01:03:13.440
Yeah, I'm going to buy a different gun so that I can then get my dry fire mag going.

01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.221
Sounds like a good plan.

01:03:15.221 --> 01:03:16.222
Sounds like a need.

01:03:16.222 --> 01:03:17.722
Yeah, not a want.

01:03:17.722 --> 01:03:18.463
Yeah, exactly.

01:03:18.463 --> 01:03:20.369

Um, leave us a review on, uh, spotify or apple or wherever you listen, and, uh, that helps get get the show out there.

01:03:51.853 --> 01:04:05.719
we've been talking about it for a while and saying we're going to do more dog ear dialogues yeah, I was just and I think it's about time for another one soon, which I've said before, like a year ago, but was it a year ago?

01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:08.112
I mean, no, not a four year, but but sometime.

01:04:08.112 --> 01:04:28.552
But the uh, you know, uh, we're still, you know, bringing out bruising reviews, uh, and our standard show, and we're gonna throw out a thing about time for an argument, dialogue, maybe another little mini series like the fatherhood or the fatherhood series, and so those things.

01:04:28.552 --> 01:04:33.233
When we have a little bit more time we'll put them together and send them out to you.
