Yahtzee!

0:00 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body, God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature, but instead follow the Spirit. Hello, everyone. Welcome to Bumper Sticker Wisdom. Jason. I'm John. So good to have you back, brother. What's up, buddy?

1:13 How you been? It's been like a month of Sundays, as my dad would say. It's been a minute, but we're back in weeks. Three straight weeks, yeah. But there's been any number of different issues and things that popped up over the last few weeks. Last week would have been the end of it, but it was a holiday. That throws any number of other obstacles in the pathway. And so it was like, eh, we'll just do it this way. Might take me a minute to get in the groove. Yeah, right. Might take me a minute to get in the groove. It just might. You never know. May not. I'll say this.

1:56 I appreciate Terry coming out, but it's not the same. Yeah. Anybody who comes out, like it's... It's cool, and I appreciate it, and we do a good, I feel like a good show. And it changes the dynamic a little bit, but it's not bumper sticker wisdom. No. It's just not the same. It's not the same. No. So what'd I miss? What'd I miss? Like, fill me in on some of the stuff y 'all talked about. Man, we talked about surrender and struggling with the surrendering. In a lot of different situations, we talked about, I think last week, no, it was the week before, we watched this video from Ben Mathias. You've probably seen him before.

2:43 Oh, I know you have because you shared one of his videos with me. It's a Polynesian guy, and he plays three different roles, and he's talking about the guy that came to church, the druggie that came to church or whatever. Anyway, we talked about that and just our comfort. Who is it? Ben? Matthias, M -E -T -I -A -S or something like that. You shared it with me on TikTok. He's actually not doing full videos on TikTok right now because of some creator crap he voiced his concerns about. Now all of his full content is on YouTube only. But anyway, we talked a lot about like... Taking with us what we learn outside of this dude passed away. Who? This dude, Ben Matthias. He's still posting. Yeah. Ben Matthias funeral. No way, bro. Don't. Are you serious? Dude. Yeah. Like every video he has, it says details about Ben Matthias funeral. Okay, click. Ben Mattias funeral.

3:54 Ben Mattias funeral. What happened to Ben Mattias? Dude, and then here's the rest in peace thing. That's probably why he's not. That's not the same guy. Huh? That's not who I'm thinking of. Scroll down. Let me see his videos. Let me see it. That is him. He's dead? Dude, don't do that to me. Come on, man. Fake news, please. Really? I mean. What a way to. What a way to find out, huh? Yeah, this one says details about Ben Mateus' funeral. Maybe it's just a bunch of crap, but I mean. He died on the 1st of October, he was 17. That's not the same person. Let's just see what this is. This is what happened to Ben. Maybe it's, maybe, I don't know. I wish I could see a date. Okay. Goodness gracious. Okay. This is IMDB. Yeah. It's pretty popular. Yeah. It's going to throw my whole vibe off. Well, Is it? I can't tell, man. Is the dude still with us or not?

5:28 He's Filipino. It says death in the family. That's going to be a video of him, isn't it? I don't know. Dude, that's crazy. We'll have to do some... We'll have to do some... Research here. I think maybe. Oh, man, I don't know. Dude, that sure does. Born in the Philippines. Oh, no, he was 59. That's not the same guy, right? There's no way, dude. Anyway. I feel bad now because I don't want to be spreading. I don't want to spread false news or whatever, and I don't want to be the guy that's like, oh, man, this dude's dead.

6:20 But I thought I really, I mean, let's do this. Let's go to TikTok because he's still releasing content on TikTok. Check it out. But I don't know if all this stuff was. Mulan, Mulan. What? Mulan, Mulan started falling on you. Mulan, Mulan. Let's see. You see like the most recent. 511, 519. 5 -21? That's last week. Or is that last year? This one? Surely it's last week. Why do you think you're a mess up? Yeah, 5 -21. It would say 5 -21 -25 if it was last year's. I think he's not gone. Wait, wait, wait. Go back, go back, go back. Darn it. Dude, it had the thing talking about the creator thing. Oh, I just saw this earlier. We're not showing all that. Dude, that's funny, though. She flips that chicken nugget in her mouth and dips it in another sauce.

7:16 Look, she's holding the sauces. Okay, hold on. You've got to see this. You've got to see this. That is some world -class fatty stuff right there. Rewind it. You've got to watch it from the beginning. Just watch how she does this. Barbecue sauce and honey. And did you see the smile on her face? She's like, ah, yeah. Play past this one. I think I've watched this whole thing. What, this? Yeah. The one after this, I think, is a good one. Pepsi in a Coke box. To go catch -ups. Okay. Oh, that one is good. Pizza. Watch. Yeah. That's snacking at its best right there. That's when you know you got big back tendencies right there. Okay.

8:21 Sorry. I don't know where the hell we're at. All right. You already exited out of that. It was this. Why do you think you're a mess up? Due to TikTok, I'm out of the community program for unoriginal content. All my full -length videos will be on YouTube. Thank you. I hope you understand. Okay, so I need to go to YouTube and see what his most recent posting is. The reason I brought him up is there was a video where he was talking about that junkie video where he was talking about. Anyway, there was a few things that stood out to me in that video. And one of them being that, you know, he said that. Three of you went into that church that day, but only one of you understood, you know, why those doors were open.

9:02 And the other two of you felt comfortable enough when you left there to judge him. You know what I mean? Like, this man was in there for help. You know, so I don't care how clean he was or how clean he wasn't. You know what I'm saying? And, like, I feel like. It's like you don't go to the doctor when you're healthy. You go to the doctor because you're sick. Exactly. 100%. The same reason you go to God. You go to God because you're trying to get better. You're trying to. And every single day, I go back to him after every single day that I make massive mistakes. You know what I'm saying? Every single day. And so I feel like that's three hours ago. Five days ago. This is three hours ago. Play that. Play that. Play it. Okay. What's wrong with you? It's my friends, man. Like, I'm sober now, but all they want to do is go party, drink, and go do other things. Like, they're the only friends I have, but it's just hard being around them because they just keep pressuring me. Your plant's dying. Yeah, I know. I don't know what's wrong with it. Probably just going to change it out.

10:14 Give it water? Every day? Sunlight? No. You know, it's probably because it's an outside plant. An outside plant? I didn't even think of that. Yeah. Same with everything else. The answer isn't changing the plant. It's changing where it grows in. Some things they can't heal in the same environment that's hurting them. Are we still talking about the plant? That dude's a gangster. He's solid.

10:54 He is a gangster. That dude is a beast, man. What we'd like to be as creators. But yeah, so he brings up a lot of compelling thoughts. And my thing is what I love about him is that thought, man. It's not our right to judge people, man. It's our right to guide people. When we see them going in wrong places, right, it's our right to gently nudge and to love and, hey, man, come over here. You don't have to go over there. You don't have to do that. But you've got to remember, like, we are the creatures of that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. When we get to heaven, we're going to be judged accordingly to how we judged other people too. Yeah. All the little details that we're judging, I don't judge people.

11:51 I just question them. I'm like, are you sure about that? You are a douche. Well, and I actually brought that up. I said, you know, it says, judge not lest you be judged. How you judge others is how you will be judged. And I said, you know, I want to judge others with the biggest amount of grace that I can possibly give. It's hard, though. It's very hard. Very hard. Why is that? Think about it in a big picture. Like, why is it so hard? Think about how many things that you judge people on, though. Their appearance, their hygiene, their attitude, their driving abilities. Are they fat? Yeah, they're dietary habits. Do they have zits? Are they hairy? Are they bald? Are they gray? Are they brown? Are they white? Oh, why is he trying to hold on?

12:44 Dude, your hairline's like it's in the Army. It's falling back, bro. Why are you trying to hang on to it? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, like mine? Screw you. That's not what I was going after, but it worked. But you get what I'm saying. Like, there's a million different things that we judge people for. Their driving ability, that's one. You know what I mean? And we don't know what they're going through. I mean, I'm not sitting in the passenger seat. There's 100 ,000 different things. No. I do not remember where I've seen this, but it was a video, and it was a guy talking about angels testing us. And he was talking about, be careful who you're mean to, because it may be an angel testing your character. The reason I bring this up is, you know, the panhandlers that always sit right there on Lakeside and I -40. There was one sitting there one day, and I mean, just like, just, I mean, he just, he wasn't even sitting over there asking. He was just sitting there. Yeah. Like, I pulled up, and he just kind of waved, and then he just put his head down. He looked defeated. I mean, totally defeated. Not going to describe his physical.

14:00 or anything because I feel like that's really inappropriate. But I don't know what came over me, but I was just like, man, this one I think I need to give some money to. So I roll the window down, and I kind of – he come over there, you know, and I handed him a 20. I really hate talking about this because this is one of those things, like you're not supposed to brag. I'm not bragging. I'm just kind of trying to explain the story. I handed him a 20 and he immediately grabbed my hand and shook my hand. And he's like, thank you. He's all, what's your name? I said, Jason. And I think he said his name was Wade. And I was like, I said, man, get something to eat, take care of yourself. And he's like, thank you.

14:43 And he didn't even like go and sit back down. He just took off walking. Like he was going to toot and totem, get something to eat. So I was like, damn, maybe this was like, maybe that was legit. But I'd seen that video. yeah before that and i was like man you know like that's based on scripture man there is there there has there is scripture i would have to look it up and but he says something about you you some of you have entertained angels and didn't even know it that's what it's talking about it's the same idea right like but we don't know we don't know look god put himself in a human flesh Brought himself out of heaven and brought himself down to earth to be among us and then took the worst possible punishment that anybody has ever taken to save us. You think that angelic beings can't look like something else? I mean, seriously? Come on, man. And look, if you really think about it, that is the moment that all hellstorm brimfire, like everything. basically opening hell's gates when they were trying to crucify Jesus. It could have been that. He could have showed off and been like, okay, hell yeah, watch this. If he was any one of us, he would have. If he was any one of us, he'd have been like, take them all.

16:16 But what did he say instead? Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. God dang it, man. So this is the part that took me so long to understand the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That whole trifecta was because when he looks up and he says, he's like, Father, why have you forsaken me? And then that, Father, please forgive them. They know not what they do or whatever. He's talking about himself in the third person. That's why always, but that's kind of his way. That was always like his way of doing it. Yeah. He didn't hesitate to say, I am the way, the truth, and the light. Right.

17:02 Same in spirit, different in being, right? And I listened to an intellectual talk about that, about how, like, okay, me and... My uncle worked in the same business. He's the CEO. I'm down at the bottom. We're both human beings. We're equal in that, right? But he's higher on the totem pole than me, right? And I know it gets a little convoluted and confusing, and we can punch holes in anything we want to, but you've got to think about it in a manner of God, Jesus, Spirit, all the same. Spirit, all different beings.

17:47 Does that make sense? And the way I can, the only way that I can complete it in my mind is like they're the same thing in different bodies. You know what I mean? And two of them don't even have bodies. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So they're the same thing in a different presence, in a different manifestation, in a different, you know what I mean? God can inhabit anything. God can be in the wind. He can be in the trees. He can be in the clouds. He can be wherever, right? He can be a whisper in your ear, a thought in your head, which is what I think the Spirit does too. The Spirit is within you, though. The Spirit's here. It's usually in your presence. That's what I think. Again, this is just me speculating. I don't know the truth about all this. I'm just kind of telling you kind of where it comes from for me. Jesus is our physical representation, what we can actually see. how much God truly loves us. How else could God possibly prove his love? Okay, read the Old Testament from front to back, from Genesis to Micah, Malachi. Malachi, I think Malachi is the last one. From Genesis to Malachi, read the whole thing. God showed his people how much he loved him over and over and over and over and over and over again, and they still rejected him. Okay, so this is like a major change of subject, but it just hit me.

19:16 It's all right. Pull up TikTok. Okay. He said, okay, down shit. Yeah. We're dropping gears here. All right, so go to the customizable Coke cans. I want you to see this video. And we may have to edit this out because you may watch this and you may be like, nah, dude, they're going to ban us. Okay, right there. Very personal. This one's in Spanish. Try it anyways. Who cares? It may just be that that's in Spanish. So at the Coke store, you can personalize a message.

19:59 You can put a la. Yeah, this is the video. Loves you. Let you do it. Or you could even put, let me see. Buddha loves you. Let me see. Let's just try it out. Buddha. Watch. Loves you. But you cannot even type in the word Jesus. As soon as you hit that second S. We cannot allow this text in the can. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. It gets even better. Let's go. Everything else is good, though. Yeah, watch it. Even if I put Satan loves you. Oh, no, bro. Hold on. Satan loves you? Let you finish it. But then you go back and just try to type in Jesus. Allah loves you. Buddha loves you. But when you type in this word, you can't even type the word in. Okay, all right. That's crazy. That's ridiculous. All right. So basically what I'm getting at is piss on coke. Yeah, well, let me say this, too. At the end of the day, I don't care. They can ban us if they want to. I'm going to keep doing what we do because nobody's putting it out for us anyway. We're doing it on our own. At the end of the day, F all that. You know what I'm saying?

21:22 Like, F all that. That's crazy, huh? Okay. So I scrolled through the comments and there's like multiple people like, I tried this. This is legit. I've tried this. I've tried this on their website. This is legit. And then there's people are saying like, well, what about God? I don't have, I don't know where to go to do that, but I would like to know what happens if, I mean. Yeah, but the problem is, okay, Jesus is very specific because Allah is a God. Buddha is... Allah's not a god. Well, I'm just saying in their perspective. I'm not saying he is a god. I'm just saying... He was a freaking demon. Right. In their perspective, Allah's a god. Buddha's a god. There's a whole bunch of Hindu gods. There's a whole bunch...

22:07 Who the hell was it? Travels off in the forest and has this haunting experience and comes up with... Now we have Islam. Was it Muhammad? Muhammad. Yeah. But you see what I'm saying? So in their perspective, okay, look, again, you want to know what they kept doing in the Old Testament? Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, worshiping other gods. That's what they did over and over again. Dude, it is mind -boggling. I mean, seriously, it is mind -boggling. How? Bro, you just said bottling. I said boggling. No, just now. Dude, what made me laugh is because when you were talking about that, I can't remember what movie that is. All I can think about is like mind -boggling, you know, because it's like bottling up all your thoughts. What movie is that? I have no idea.

23:00 Dude, oh, my God. It sounds like freaking a hangover or something. No, it may be a Will Ferrell movie. Golly. I'm all over the place right now, bro. I am everywhere. Yeah, I am everywhere right now. I'm sorry. I'm all over the place. All I can say is, like, it's mind -boggling to me because, like, okay, let's just go to Moses. The people of Israel have been enslaved to Egypt for 200 years. Moses comes in, and, like, he becomes this great leader. He pulls them out of Egypt, gets to the Red Sea. They're trapped. They're like, oh, my God, we're going to die. Parts the Red Sea, right? This is God that does this, not Moses. It's through Moses God does it, right?

23:47 Boom, parts of the Red Sea. They walk through on dry land, right? Not wet -ass land that's been underwater for a century. We talked about this, too, because we talked about the winds drying out. Right, right. They're overnight, right? In my head, I was like it was instant, but it wasn't. It was like overnight. But the winds were so strong and all that, it kept the water up all that time. It dried out. overnight, right? They walk through on dry land. Then their pursuers are chasing them through that water and it takes them all out. They almost instantly start worshiping other gods. Almost instantly. It's not instantaneous. It's pretty quickly though.

24:28 They're wandering around out there forever. 40 years in the wilderness, right? You need to take us back. What are we doing out here? Dude, when Moses comes down with the Ten Commandments, he goes up and he's up there for, I think it's 40 days. I'm pretty sure it's 40 days and 40 nights. And they're worshiping this golden calf. Stupid golden calf. Yeah. And it, dude, this. This sequence happens over and over and over and over again in the Old Testament. And it's a couple thousand years of history. What's crazy, and we've talked about this a hundred times, but God was so mad at Moses, he was willing to kill him. He was ready to kill him. He's like, man, I'm about to choke the life out of you, bro. How frustrated do you think he gets with us? Oh, fork. Oh, no.

25:23 Moses is like the bee's knees, you know what I mean? So in my mind, I'm like, bro, I can only imagine how irritated he's like this month. Oh, he looks at Jesus like, man, he's lucky. Man, he's lucky he got you. You know what I mean? That's how I feel in my mind. But at the end of the day, the most encouraging part of it is every single step of the way. God would get so mad. And he'd be like, fine, I'm just going to let your enemies have you. I'm just going to let them have you. And then he'd rescue them. And then he'd rescue them. Over and over and over again. And then he finally goes, okay, this plan that I've been planning this whole time, I guess I got no other choice because these people are not redeemable. Yeah. Yeah, he knew he was going to do that anyways. He did. He was like, man, I'm just going to see, but I know I'm going to have to. But what is that a commentary to?

26:21 To me, it's a commentary to you have to go through it, right? We have to go through the struggle. We have to go through the process. You know what I mean? And the whole thing about grace is it gives us time. Every single day we wake up, it says his mercy is anew every morning, right? Every single day we wake up, it's another chance, another opportunity, right? To be better, to grow further, to get just a step closer. You know what I mean? That's the opportunity we have to seize. It's not perfection. It's just better every single day until finally our flesh gives up and our spirit can be released and we can be back with him. I know that's a lot to think about. It's going to create a new earth. And a new heaven. Heaven is going to be on earth.

27:18 I think it does say new heaven and new earth, but I think essentially, I don't want to lie, but I think there is some context that it's combined, like heaven is earth. Yeah. I think. It's going to be so cool. It's going to be so cool. It's going to be so cool. No pain, no struggle. So, like, a lot of that has got me thinking about things because, you know, like. He talks about the things of this world. There's a lot of things in this world. You know what I mean? There ain't going to be no damn Harleys. No. You know what I mean? How do you know? And I put so much passion into this freaking thing. You know what I'm saying?

28:06 Well, don't. I don't think that God frowns upon us enjoying life. I know that, but that's one instance where I was just like, man, that just goes to show you all the things that you are putting energy into. You know, television. Some people can't live without television. Some people can't live without these. More and more people can't live without that. Some people can't live without these. You know what I mean? Yeah, and keep going down the line. You know, we talked about that some people can't live without money. Like, they have to have more and more and more and more. Some people can't live without drugs, alcohol, sex, porn, you know, shopping, the internet, TV, movies. I really don't want to live without sex. I don't either. I really don't want to live without sex. I don't either. But the problem is, I don't know, I feel like I'm a teenager again. It's like I can't get enough. It's weird.

29:10 I'm 46. Why is that? TRT. What the hell is TRT? Aren't you taking testosterone? Yeah. That's why. It's supposed to help me with my energy. It doesn't seem to. Oh, no, bro. That's exactly what it is. Every time I take it, it was. Virile. Oh, golly, man. It's like I'm mad. You know, I'm like, take your clothes off. You're going to have angry sex. Take your freaking clothes off. Like you're 15. Yeah. Man, this is weird.

29:51 I don't know. Again. You start talking about the flesh and the things of this world, and that's why I told you I read Romans chapter 8 three times today. I actually read it four times today. That's it, dude. Romans chapter 7 leading into Romans chapter 8 talking about like 7 is like, dude, I'm battling with my flesh all the time. I'm battling. I'm battling. It's warring against me. These two things are warring. Paul says, I know what I'm supposed to do, but I don't do it. And I know what I'm not supposed to do. But that's exactly what I do. You know what I mean? Bro, that's every single one of us, every single day. You know what I mean? Yeah. But how do you get to a point where you finally go, I deserve Jesus? You don't. I don't think you ever feel that way. I think you accept it. You don't deserve it. We don't deserve it. We're not the... creatures of deserving deservables like that we are not those people we we are we are a jacked up bunch of folks yeah with all different kinds of we're all different races we're all screwed up yeah we're all going through something and we're all going through something that people that we probably don't like are going through And we don't see it that way. The thing that bothers me about

31:24 what that Coca -Cola thing was showing me is the one thing that can protect us. We're removing it quicker and quicker now. It's becoming more and more obvious how much we're trying to remove him from life. I don't know if you've seen the video of the guy that says that Allah will be... America belongs to Islam. Allah will be in every household, whether you like it or not. Have you seen that video? Okay, it is a disturbing video, and it is a polite reminder that when it comes down to the end times, this is going to be something that you're going to have to be willing to die for because they will behead you. They don't care. Look at how ISIS behead, what, 30 -something people on a beach? Yeah. Because they would not denounce their faith? I think it was Joshua.

32:15 And the whole time those guys are just sitting there praying? Yeah. I think it was Joshua that said, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. That's where we're going to be. The first thing they'll do is they'll remove all the digital copies of the Bible. That'll be the first thing that gets attacked because they can do that. That's pretty easy, actually. I think you could whittle that away pretty quickly. Physical copies, what they will do is... They'll start catching people trying to travel with one, and they will take those. No, you ain't taking mine. But the people that have them at their home, that's going to be something. That's another scary thing, too. I think it'll be some kind of forced inspection.

32:57 Like you said before, they'll come to take your guns, and they'll find your Bible. They'll find your Bible. It'll be some kind of forced inspection, some kind of forced. They're going to do something. It'll be mandatory. At that point, though, I'm going to be hiding behind my room or I'm going to be hiding behind the door. I know I'm going to die anyways. I mean, I will be hiding behind the door and just be like, I'm going to get a few with my pew -pew before you get me, fool. I mean, I'd hate to bring that kind of pressure. tension on myself, but it's at the end of the day, like we're not trying to speak anything to into existence, but we also know that there's a time, right? Look, it's, it's God's word stated about it over and over again. Yeah. This is something that's, it's going to happen. It is going to happen. If you think this will, that's why they tell you to like learn it. Yeah. Because you may not have, you may not have a physical copy anymore. You may not, you may have to, everything that you try to teach people or, You know, you're trying to teach, like, can you imagine in, let's just say it happens in 25 years. Okay. My son having a son and they don't have a Bible and you gotta, you've got to, you gotta be able to say like, Hey, no, because this is what it says.

34:20 We've got to stay the course. Otherwise it's a, it's a, an entire generation of lost souls. Yeah. Like in the book of Eli. Right, you've seen that movie, I'm sure. It doesn't even have to be a post -apocalyptic type of thing, but they take away everything. You don't have free access to electricity, and you don't have free access to water, and free access to food anymore, all that kind of stuff. Can you imagine how much more you and I would dive into God's Word if we didn't have the rest of life going on? How much more time we would spend dealt? absorbing that word. And I'm not good at it at all. I think I've had peaks in my life. I've had times in my life where I've been pretty committed to God's word and I've had other times in my life where I'm just not. And that actually, it bothers me because I think about it a lot. I think about all of the distractions of life and what's the quickest way to get you away from God's word.

35:22 Distractions. Distractions. You know, and they're, The world's got to figure it out, man. They know exactly what they're doing. Yeah. You know, those, these little devices that we're using to record our podcast right now, like, well, it's not, it's not even just that. I mean, if you go back to TV, why do you think I have to call it the boob tube? Well, because it turns you into a boob. Okay. Well, dude, check, check this out. You talk about channels and like, your channels and stuff like that, and you talk about the things that you see on your TV, it kind of makes you wonder why they call them channels, because they can channel thoughts. They can feed you with enough stuff that they can change your thought on things. Dude, I mean, look at how that's, it's, as a kid growing up, you're taught blah, blah, blah, ABCD, these things, right? Continuously.

36:25 Continuously. Feed it in your brain continuously. And then you get out of school and you don't use none of that. Math. English writing. But there's a lot of that stuff that you don't ever use. Like, they're changing history in schools. Like, they're changing the things they teach. There's like certain parts of it. That's how they can control exactly what you want. This sounds like such a tinfoil hat moment. Hate it. I'm going to change the subject. Well, hold on. You can't because I'm with you, though. I'm in that same page because the policymakers and the people that put the books in front of the students are the ones who are creating the content for them to absorb, right? I remember what we learned about Christopher Columbus when we were kids.

37:16 Turns out Christopher Columbus was kind of a piece of shit. You know what I mean? He didn't show up on the... The Mayflower and the Nina and the Pinta. Hey, you guys, let's have dinner. Yeah. No. He did a lot of crazy, nasty things, right? And, like, I'm not saying that the truth shouldn't win out. It should, actually. But at the end of the day, they can manipulate it however they want. They tried to coerce us into believing he was, like, a modern -day hero. Right. The other part of that is that thought process right there is why people don't trust the Bible. And that's what bothers me. Because the only thing about the Bible that's different is it has been meticulously translated over and over again.

38:09 It's, dude, there are... And again, maybe the people that are talking about it are in on it. I don't know. But I just have to believe that God still works. You know what I'm saying? So this is the one thing about us at this time frame. You know, we're not the Peters, the Pauls, the Andrews, the Johns, the James. We didn't get to walk with him. We didn't get to see him. We didn't get to touch him. We didn't get to hug him. We're not even close. Not even close. We didn't get to talk with him. We didn't get to do none of those things. Yeah. We, what we're... Like, what we're basing everything off of is 1 ,000 % just faith -based. So something within us clicked, and it's like, ooh, man, I know this is the right way now. If I'm wrong, eh, whatever.

39:00 But if I'm right, whoa. Y 'all all in trouble. Yahtzee. You know what I mean? Yahtzee. That's all I'm going to say. Proverbs 3, 5 says, To trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight. Submitting is the hardest part. It is so hard. But the truth of it is, is like, you don't even realize, you don't even think about it like this, but your brain is your flesh too. Oh yeah. But you don't think about it like that. It's just something that floats up in the top of your head. Everything that's going on in here. It's flesh. it's flesh and your flesh has control of it if you let it bro you like i think i made some ridiculous comment one day about praying out loud i really i know it was on the show about praying out loud because that's how you keep the enemy because the enemy can't hear your thoughts i know i did this on here i'm almost positive i made this ridiculous claim If he can't. Dude, he's in your thoughts, too. Dude, he is. Like, what's crazy about it is, like, I'll be just, like, I'll be having a good day. Things will be going great.

40:23 Like, everything's awesome. Everything's perfect. And, like, it's like something is just, like, click, click. And I'm like, yeah. Mm -hmm. And I was like, whoa, where did this come from? Yeah. Like, why? Yeah. I had two, two outrageous anger outbursts this weekend. Two. I mean, look, I get frustrated sometimes pretty quick. I've been known, like you, I've been known to throw in a hammer. You know, I've been known to do those things. Twice this happened. And I'm like, what is wrong with me? This wasn't even that big a deal. Like, things are good right now. What am I pissed off about? You know what I'm saying?

41:13 Same thing yesterday. It happened again. Partly I think I was pissed off because my hand was on fire, felt like. But what happened was I had just made gravy in an iron skillet, and I poured it into a big cup. And I'm putting the cup over here, and I'm putting the skillet over here, and somehow or another, this cup of gravy just poured all over my hand. Hot, hot, hot. What did you make for dinner? Chicken fried steak. I love chicken fried steak. I need to make you chicken fried steak. Anyway, that's another thing that I'm pretty good at. Anyway. With corn? I didn't make corn because I didn't. Come on, man.

41:55 Yeah. Come on. You got to do chicken, fries, steak, corn, and mashed potatoes. It was mashed potatoes and we did. No, we didn't. Don't put your dreams on me. No, we did fried squash yesterday, actually. So, but anyway, in my haste, I'm like, okay, I'm trying not to lose the entire thing of gravy. And my hand's on fire at the same time. So I'm, like, trying to put this down. And I turn this water on. It's hot. Stupid. It's hot water. Yeah. So I'm, like, turn the freaking cold water on, too. And I get that shit off. And I'm, like, I'm just mad. And I'm, like, okay, yeah, it sucked. And, like, there was, like, definitely going to be a reaction. But, like, I went way south. Like, breaking stuff south.

42:45 almost you know what i'm saying like and my wife's standing there like she's right there you know what i mean like this reaction there was gonna be a reaction clearly but the reaction i had was like 1000 instead of 100 you know what i'm saying homemade gravy yes sir are you getting hungry now i'm just wanting to know the details on this I got to know. Yes, I made scratch chicken fried steak with scratch gravy, scratch mashed potatoes, and scratch fried squash. Yeah. Should have come to our house. Those discs. Yeah. Oh, man. He said, are those discs? Yeah. The little discs. Oh, yeah. But it goes into that thing, though. Like, something up here has been, like.

43:42 I've been talking about it a lot. My focus is off. I'm off. My thoughts are off. We've talked about it. And even though we haven't been in one of these kind of conversations in a minute, the last conversation we had before that was that exact topic. I don't know what it is. I can't seem to dial it in. I can't seem to readjust. The only thing I know to do is go to God's Word. That's the only thing I know else to do that I haven't been doing. I haven't been as committed to my time in his word and reading his word and checking in with you and like, hey, bro, here's what I saw or here's what I read or whatever. We still check in pretty much every day, but it's like I didn't get nothing. I didn't get either. You know what I mean? It's been a lot of that lately. For whatever reason, we're both busy. I understand. I know we are. I know you are. I know I am. Are you looking for your? Words of wisdom. Looking while we were doing our thing.

44:43 You know something even funnier? I got the second joke in the old memory bank, too. You locked that in? Two? Two in a row. Okay. Two in a row, because they're easy to remember. I was going to say, you know what we didn't do? Pray. dude, it's been so long. I was going to pray too. Like, and then we just kind of went, the whole Ben Matthias thing through everything. We were gone. I would like to, I would like to just, just as a disclaimer, pretty sure from what I can tell, he's not dead. Somebody may have died in his family, but different Ben Matthias, maybe. Yeah.

45:25 And I don't, it just, the, what got me was I've seen one of his videos and I saw that at the bottom and said, ben matthias funeral i was like what yeah so i clicked on it and it was like video after video it like none of them saying that it happened but every video you clicked on after that was like what happened to ben matthias what you know and so i was like dude dude really died yeah i'm like wow you know he looks pretty healthy i mean so okay that was exactly like the moment i heard that kobe died I was like, no freaking way. That's bull crap, dude. That was me with Kyle Busch, too. Exactly. I was going to bring that up, too. I was like, there is no way, dude. Dude, he's our age. I know. He's younger than us. He was younger than us. He's four years younger than us. And he died from complications of freaking. This is how much of a savage he was, though, bro. He was sicker than a dog, and you didn't even know it. You said it backed his car out and all that stuff. Dude, did you watch the next race? Uh -uh. Oh, dude. They had his wife and his son out there. Brexton, dude, he's my next driver. He's only 11 now, but he's going to drive. He's going to be a driver. He's 11 now. Kyle Larson's son came out there. Kyle Larson's son looked just like Kyle Larson. He got the ears like that and everything. He looked just like Kyle Larson. He came out there and he was

46:55 hugging on him and stuff. It was such a NASCAR is family moment that it made me more of a NASCAR person. Okay, so I've always, not always watched NASCAR, but I'd gone to a couple races before I went with you. Right. I kind of understood about it. It wasn't until I started like really, you know, once I kind of started my walk with Christ, it wasn't until then that I really understood how impactful NASCAR was. They pray before every race. Yes, they do. You know what I'm saying? Yes, they do. Like it is. And so as a, not going to say godly man, but as a self -proclaimed.

47:44 godly man or I try to be a godly man, whatever. I can respect that. And so it's like NASCAR has, it has gravitated to a much bigger thing for me to watch. They still today in 2026 unashamedly broadcast the opening prayer. Yeah. Unashamedly still. Yeah. And it's like, it's not, it's, it's like, this is it. Deal with it. Take it or leave it. Deal with it. Take it or leave it. You're going to take it or you're going to leave it, right? And I appreciate the fact that, hey, look, dude, you don't realize how easily lives can be lost on that racetrack, dude. I remember watching Dale Earnhardt. I mean. It didn't even look that bad of a wreck. Well, he was. He didn't like the new safety protocols, and so he didn't like to wear the extra harness thing. I know, I know.

48:45 But it didn't look like it was that bad of a wreck. It didn't. And when they started, they were like, he's, you know, they. When I found, like. Yeah. That he, like, he died. Like, I'm like, what? What? No way. His son was on the track with him. Oh, I know. Dude, like, that's crazy. That's when I started liking Dale Jr. You know, everybody talks about Dale Jr. like he's a legend, and he never even won a championship. I know he didn't. He still was a great racer. I know he didn't. Denny Hamlin hasn't won a championship either. But I loved Dale Earnhardt. As a kid, just the intimidator, man. Like, that's the dude. He was the man, bro. He didn't take no. There was a generation of kids that grew up, and Jeff Gordon was the guy. Yeah. You know what I mean?

49:31 And Jimmy Johnson. Dude, Dale Sr. was the man. And so when all that happened, it was just Dale Jr. Yeah. For me, it was just Dale Jr. Okay, and I've said this to Kevin, but he won't agree with me, but he hated Kyle Busch, but he loved Dale Earnhardt. I was like, same guy. They're both super aggressive, take no crap off of nobody. Dale Earnhardt was not humble. No, he's like, no, I'm going to put your ass in the wall. You know what I'm saying? Kyle Busch, same guy. Yeah. So all these people that were haters of Kyle Busch were once Dale Earnhardt fans. Yeah. If you love Dale Earnhardt, you should have loved Kyle Busch. And you know what? Now they're going to look back on it, and they're going to appreciate what he was to the sport, right? You know who I'm – you know, Ross Chastain is my driver. Yeah.

50:29 The number one? Number one car, yeah. The Busch -like car. But you know who I'm really starting to like? Say it. Kyle Larson. I like Larson, too. Dude, he's a driver of anything. You can put that dude behind the wheel of anything, and he can go win you some races. Larson's a beast, dude. Chase Elliott used to be that cat, man. Put him in an 87. or 86 Monte Carlo and send him out on a sprint car track and watch that dude win. You know what I mean? Like, he's a sprint car driver. He's a Formula One driver. He's just a driver. It's like you appreciate the – Yeah. You appreciate it a little more once you know the backdrop. Like, yeah, of course I am. I'm tired of him winning. But then you start to understand, like, why he is so good.

51:19 He drives everything. Yeah. My guy's Ben Hamlin. For a while. Denny? Denny Hamlin. And JGR Racing, not really a team guy. I'm more of a driver guy. Who's the one that's on like a freaking, opened the season up on a tear? Tyler Reddick. Guess who he drives for? Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan on 23 -11, right? Tyler Reddick. He won the first four races, right? He's been in every race. And that's the thing about Denny Hamlin, bro. Other than the road courses, he's in every single race. Every race. I don't like the road courses. I hate it. It's not. When they do that one in Chicago, it's trash. No. I'm not saying it's racing, but it's not NASCAR. Those cars aren't designed for that. Indy cars are designed for that. Hey, but how about the NASCAR going out for the 24 hours of Le Mans? Who? What? You didn't see the freaking Camaro, the NASCAR Camaro go out for the Le Mans?

52:21 No. Dude. It went and raced it? Yes. Oh, no. Dude, no. Do this. This was like two years ago. I'd never even heard this. Yes. I watched the Indy 500. It was like Car 56 or something is what they called it. I watched the Indy 500, actually watched the Indy 500 for the first time in my life. Right? And my dad watches it every year. Because it's right around his birthday. It's the only Indy race he ever watches. Yeah. And it's always on Memorial Weekend. And that. Yeah, maybe it's the 2023 one. Chevy Camaro NASCAR.

53:02 Look. Okay. There you go. That's the one. Wait till you hear this thing. Look at this thing. This one? That thing raced the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Look at how big it is, too. Look at how big this car is. Turn the volume up, because this thing sounds like you have all these... We have started the 91st edition of the 24 hours of Le Mans, 100 years since the first race took place. So part of it was they couldn't, the Garage 56 Camaro, they couldn't, it couldn't place because it didn't meet the requirements or whatever.

53:51 But this thing tore it up. Look at this, dude. There is no replacement for displacement, baby. Listen, sounds like a freaking NASCAR, dude. The Chevrolet Camaro. This car is so loud. This car is so loud. These Europeans are like, no. They're losing their minds, dude. We cannot allow this. That's why they can't play. What's funny is there was a moment that he had passed a Lamborghini. I think it was a McLaren. Yeah, I think maybe.

54:32 No. Yeah. Anyways, whatever it was. But there was a moment that he passed one, right? And you look at, it looks like a VCR racing a freaking Walkman. You know what I mean? It's just like, you have this big, you have this gigantic car. It looks like a suitcase out there. You know, it's like. But this thing just sounds like an absolute hog. And then you have this little petite freaking guard that's trying to weave through it, and you just have this massive thing. This thing is like the literal definition of let the big dog eat. You know what I mean? That's pure American muscle, right? That's what we miss about it. Everybody's losing their minds over it, too.

55:17 But he's getting, I don't know. It was pretty cool to see. several of the updates when that was going on. Yeah. And I'm guessing that was probably, when was that? I think it was 23. Okay, so that was three years ago. Yeah. That's crazy, though. Oh, it was wild. But I watched the Indy, and, like, that's some crazy racing, too. Now, they don't connect like you do in NASCAR, right? They don't touch. They don't bump. They don't rub. Because if you do, you're losing the wheel. Yeah. Right. Or you're losing the fit. Yeah, because it's an open wheel car. Yeah. Or you're catapulting yourself into space. Hell, the top's open, dude. Yeah. It's that way. But it was really wild to watch those things. Like, it was crazy watching them, like, passing each other. And, like, it was wild. Watching hummingbirds. It's funny because you say it like that and you made that noise because that's exactly what it sounds like. NASCAR is like... It's like... It's like 22s against freaking 50 cals. You know what I mean? The top speed on the Indy was like 197 or something like that. That's getting it, dude.

56:41 I think it's a mile -and -a -half track oval, but the straights are like three -quarters of a mile on both sides. And the turns are sharp, but they're short. You know what I mean? Those straights are, you know what I mean? They're getting it, dude. It's crazy to watch. I would love to see a NASCAR car. But the thing about them is their corners are flat. There's no bankment. Yeah, no bank. Yeah. No bank. Those cars are meant to handle, right, at those high speeds and stay low to the ground. They're this far off the ground, bro, like literally less than a millimeter. Half inch off the ground. Yeah, just tiny, tiny bit off the ground. You know, those things are sucked to the ground. But when one gets going off the ground, it's scary. It turns into a kite. Yeah. What do you call a guy?

57:37 With no shins. Why should I know this? What do you call a guy with no shins? What do you call a man with no shins? Tony. Tony. Tony. Tony. Tony. Ching out. Father, I apologize. Pray for the spark. Yeah, who was that? That's Ron. Or not Ron. It's Larry the Cable Guy. That is. Lord, I apologize. Man, I remember the first time I heard the Here's Your Sign guy. Billing Ball.

58:33 That was Billing Ball. I remember that, dude. Actually, my buddy Chris, we were riding in his truck to a job. I want to say in like Borger. And we're sitting there and he's like, hey, you got to hear this. He pops this CD in. And it was freaking Bill Ingvall. It was like the Redneck Kings of Comedy. It was Bill Ingvall. Larry the Cable Guy. Shoot. Ron White. Oh, you're talking about the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Yes. It was that one. Oh, dude. Ron White opens up with the...

59:13 He talks about how he got his nickname. Tater Salad. This is my son, Tater Tot. Oh, man. Do you have any aliases? They call me Tater Salad. It's from Fritch, Texas. Fritch, Texas. Sure enough. Fritch, Texas, dude. Of all freaking places. Hutchinson County. That's crazy, too. And, dude, Fritch ain't nothing. Never mind. I'm not going to say what I was fixing to say. I mean, Lake Meredith is there, but the town itself, dude. Methville. It's a pretty, pretty, pretty rough place. Yes. I mean, it's not. I don't even think there's a school there, is there?

1:00:07 Yeah. Rich High School. Is there? Yeah. Yeah. The Eagles? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. No, several people that graduated from there. This is going to be a punch in the labels. Testiculars. Khalil Gibson. And God said, love your enemy. I obeyed him and loved myself. No. He said no. Not that. Food. Truckers. What the heck? I don't know why. That one just jumped off the page today. Yeah, that's pretty deep, though. That's a good one. It really is. I mean, it kind of speaks into a lot of what we talked about with just the process and all the stuff going on, man, and the flesh. Golly.

1:01:14 All I know is Christ saved my spirit, not my flesh. Right? This flesh is going to betray me to the end. Right? I'm going to lose some battles, and I'm going to win some battles. The goal is to win more battles than you lose every day, right? That's the goal, I think. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I think at the end of the day, my relationship with Christ, and I hope your relationship with Christ, is that we rely on him and not on ourselves. And that's what I want people to learn. Look, you're not dependent upon yourself. You're dependent upon what Christ did. And we can go through all the theological stuff and what's the Trinity and what's the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They're not three different. We can do all of that. Now you're starting to turn it into the human aspect of it. You're using your flesh to walk through it.

1:02:12 You're overthinking it. Bro, at some point you just have to have faith. Amen. You have to have a feet, the feet, the feet. Yeah, I got it. Listen, if you like what you hear, come listen to us, please. Thank you. Love you. Bye.
