One Four Four. What is I mean? New Beginnings. Of

0:48

the city I think in whenever you want

0:50

to mean I get as was like girl

0:52

summer I got that I mainly anytime I

0:55

see a sequence of numbers that that looks

0:57

like it could have any meeting. I.

0:59

Assume it's some sort of hidden bible code

1:01

and. This. Is the last days my

1:03

friends? Code

1:06

baby. Yeah it will be honest. I had

1:08

an ex girlfriend who's apartment was. She moved

1:10

into new apartment and there was a permit

1:12

one one one if she took. This is

1:14

a major sign from God that the whatever

1:16

then and everywhere you looked it was like

1:18

four Forty four everyone. I'm like. Okay,

1:22

This is a slippery slope. The horoscope. So they

1:24

did the you had come on. I

1:26

I. Get there is newer numerals, analogies

1:28

and symbolism in the Bible and the Gods

1:30

Perfect number and I'll just as the up

1:32

and like, come on. One of

1:35

my least favorite strands of of

1:37

While. Yeah. Know like a new

1:39

Guys know me, I'm down to talk a

1:42

good conspiracy or weird codes or or whatever.

1:44

You guys know me. I don't need to

1:46

proof my credibility in that space. but when.

1:48

But when people just see like random number

1:51

because you could you could use any. I

1:53

can look up any verse in and using

1:55

a combination of those numbers be like see

1:58

what? Yes, you know that that is. The

2:00

least interesting to like. rather rude. I was

2:02

a moods visiting a friend in the hospital

2:04

after surgery and other friends were there are

2:07

I was visiting and then other friends arrived

2:09

and they were like did you see what

2:11

floor you're on. The. Eighth floor,

2:14

new beginning and the unlike the

2:16

board as she says on the

2:18

eighth floor because he was in

2:20

the effort Word you know. My

2:23

favorite stories my brother's ever done is

2:25

he has a heal as if you

2:27

know, like the drake symbol of the

2:29

praying hands and the. So

2:32

he has a tattoo of that because he loves straight.

2:35

And he.

2:38

Got. The tattoo. but he said to me that

2:40

he got it and he was. I was the

2:42

bible verse with the number six in itself. Mom

2:45

See, I can just tell ya about. Like.

2:47

Operating whatever and so as I am on. and

2:49

so I think I found somethin' and som. Has

2:52

something to everyone but I said and I

2:54

thought he was joking. He generally told our

2:57

mom that like he got this so high

2:59

paying my lord said in months later I

3:01

made a comment my mom about. Matt.

3:04

Straight tattoo and as soon as I would you

3:06

mean history tattoo as I can another one like

3:08

the praying and and the six and she i

3:10

got quiet for a second. She has. He.

3:13

Done Without was about Prairie brain

3:15

see the man travel legs our

3:17

of Allah is how how old

3:19

is Matt that he's that he

3:21

felt he needed to matches fabricate

3:24

a story to your mom but

3:26

use the basis of his fabrication

3:28

as a Bible verse. I hold

3:30

what? what is the dynamics? his

3:32

relationship. I. Was says he's older than

3:34

I am. I would say this is

3:36

like five years. it has his at twenty five

3:39

on time. stats

3:41

say is a month we have like when

3:43

i was married and i think rd had

3:45

a kid i do in a guy that

3:47

wow wow philadelphia yeah i'm still still a

3:49

fear of for parents i showed my tattoo

3:51

at the cracker barrel to my mom and

3:53

screamed in the restaurant a cracker barrel i

3:56

never understood that us but i saw a

3:58

thing on a daily show where This

4:00

guy was like talking and she's like numbers mean a lot

4:02

and he's like, all right, so like today is like

4:04

11 23 12 whatever. She's

4:07

like, that means JFK is gonna be president.

4:09

I'm like, what? How do people think like

4:11

that? But there is a website right now

4:13

that you can go on and you put

4:15

the numbers in it's like a conspiracy theorists

4:18

website. We should like put our birthdays in

4:20

and just see what comes out about it.

4:22

But it's like JFK is coming back as

4:24

president. That's the numbers mean. The only fun

4:26

number one is when you put your birthday

4:28

in and type in Florida man and

4:31

you see what comes up on that day

4:33

and then be like, this is probably how

4:35

you'll die. Oh, and that's right. Usually. Yeah,

4:38

so all you do is type in your birthday

4:41

and not the year, not the year, just like

4:43

the day and and the

4:45

word Florida man and

4:47

see what comes up. Florida

4:51

man dubbed the diaper bandit arrested

4:53

after repeatedly trying to steal diapers.

4:55

Very cool. On my birthday. Here's

4:57

mine. Florida man, nickname baby cakes,

4:59

call it naked and share outside of apartments

5:01

on the way. That's

5:04

amazing. What the, I like how

5:06

there's many options for your birthday. Like this is the

5:08

one under it. Man gets arrested after

5:10

calling 911 to get a ride

5:12

to Hooters. That's on

5:14

my birthday. Mine is Florida man

5:16

bitten by alligator after mistaking it for

5:18

dog. Riddle

5:22

me that. How did we

5:24

mistake that one? But anyway, that's the

5:26

extent of numerology that I'm in. That's a really good,

5:28

I never, I'm going to tell my wife to look

5:30

that one up. Yeah, that's the extent of numerology. Speaking

5:32

of numbers, Marty texted us a couple of days ago,

5:34

I have something for the opening of the podcast and

5:37

he showed us some numbers. Yeah. Holy

5:39

cow. Do you want to tell people? Yeah,

5:41

I'll tell them. Did you get on that?

5:43

Cause we have two different little chats.

5:45

Yeah, I was included out of that group chat. Don't

5:47

you worry. I was, I was, okay. Can

5:50

I set some context here? Set system

5:52

6:08

that does that that will come up in

6:10

6:58

7:01

so sorry brother oh mass and I

7:03

am like what is happening right now

7:05

be the firing and I heard something

7:07

about a hospitals like okay i gotta

7:09

jump and I had this is why

7:11

had the nerve. Gazans on. That was

7:13

my introduction to the Sword Murray. Yes!

7:16

so to see their own contacts on.

7:18

My child was born by two months

7:20

earlier in the Nick Used a newborn

7:22

intensive care unit in Orange County. saw

7:24

his name is a hotel hospital. It's

7:27

it's a beautiful of a hospital. It's

7:29

it's sponsored by like Disney and Ryan

7:31

Seacrest has a studios there. It's gorgeous

7:33

so we have a plus care. I

7:35

want to some set the tone like

7:37

that. The bill First four. Fifty.

7:40

Nine Days at The Nick. you was

7:42

innocently my wife's day By the way

7:44

she was in there a couple days

7:46

before was one point one million dollars.

7:48

One. Point One. Million.

7:51

dollars you could build your own hospital

7:53

small hostilities lot of sixty thousand dollars

7:55

a day think i for insurance you

7:57

know like a know you're probably like

7:59

what the heck is going on? Thank God

8:01

for insurance, paying for everything. I

8:03

don't think I'm paying for anything. But

8:05

because he was, you know, the good thing

8:08

about California, as much as people love to

8:10

hate on California, they got insurance. And

8:12

because he came early, he is set. He's good.

8:15

We are taken care of. But

8:17

$1.1 million for two months

8:19

at the NICU. Unbelievable. And

8:22

just to be clear, Marty likes

8:25

attention. So he sent the

8:27

invoice to us without

8:29

telling us that insurance was paying

8:31

for it. So we were going,

8:33

no, he's so sorry. He's

8:35

thinking he was getting a bill for $1.1

8:37

million. And before I was

8:39

just thinking something terrible has happened

8:41

to someone. This is awful. And,

8:44

you know, but the other thing is, for

8:46

$1.2 million, you could literally hire a

8:48

team of nurses for that period of time. Why you have

8:50

to round it up? It was higher than 1.1. It was

8:53

closer to 1.2. It

8:55

was. You rounded it. But it's that. It's that.

8:57

It's what puts it. It's like so outlandish.

9:00

Like I would literally have to

9:02

declare bankruptcy. But the actual thing

9:04

I got was the hospital

9:07

and the insurance, what we were looking at was

9:09

the hospital insurance going back and forth disputing a

9:11

couple things, like disputing like $13,000. And

9:14

if you look at like $13,000, it's like $13,000 for

9:17

like formula and like

9:19

a special medicine. The one piece

9:21

of medicine was like $760. Just

9:24

like who's making, you know, according to TikTok,

9:26

they're like getting an itemized list. They

9:28

have the itemized list. It's

9:30

just crazy expensive. It's just

9:32

outrageous. Bonkers, if you will.

9:34

And people

9:37

wonder why our insurance system is broken.

9:39

I mean, it's like because these private hospitals are

9:41

charging $13,000 for formula. So

9:44

then the insurance companies are

9:46

having to overcompensate with.

9:49

Thank God it wasn't my roof. And thank

9:51

God it wasn't covered by Allstate. Jesse,

9:53

I have a window right here, and I saw the

9:55

man out of your window, and I thought he was

9:57

outside my window for some reason. What

10:01

if he walked out of my frame and walked into

10:03

your window? It goes right into my

10:05

window. What the heck is going on? Well,

10:09

it is episode 1.4. I

10:13

almost saw, by the way, my camera

10:15

and you've been in my office, it's right on the

10:17

sidewalk. I legit saw

10:19

like a fight right outside the window

10:21

the other day. No way.

10:23

I've seen a lot of, in the summertime, this

10:25

sidewalk gets a lot of action. You

10:28

get pedestrians here and there. I

10:31

saw a legit fight right outside the window. It was great. Marty,

10:33

you've got to understand where they're at. If

10:35

you've ever been to Daytona Beach or

10:38

Panama City Beach or Myrtle Beach,

10:41

thank you. It's that kind

10:43

of a beachfront town. There's a nice part,

10:45

but then there's kind of a spring breaky

10:47

part. There's a reason why

10:49

Drake named the song Virginia Beach ghetto

10:51

but pretty. There's an edge

10:53

to it. He

10:58

is one block from the actual sand. In

11:01

his building, on the other side of his building,

11:04

is a huge tourist gift shop type thing. This

11:07

street that he's on is a spring break,

11:09

freak nick kind of street where a lot

11:11

of people… Can they see inside? No, they

11:13

can't see you. That's perfect.

11:15

It's like Larry David when he saw people

11:18

kissing and he's like, hey, stop that. Larry

11:20

said people kissing for a move in. What's

11:23

the problem? The

11:25

building across the street, which was vacant

11:27

for a while and then a psychic

11:30

moved in for a while. I

11:34

saw a forceful eviction with

11:36

the police one morning and

11:38

I think drugs were involved.

11:41

It was a lot of weird. A lot of people appeared

11:44

to be living in this office space because the police stand

11:46

and pull a lot of people out. It

11:49

was pretty cool morning. It was a pretty… Wait, was

11:51

that the fight that you saw? No, no, no. This is

11:53

a couple weeks ago. As we were pulling… It

11:56

was like… You Know those videos of the

11:58

clown car where it's just like… It isn't

12:00

an office that apparently a psychic It

12:02

for you know, was operated by Amazon.

12:05

One customer go in there so that

12:07

sort of a red flag right? but

12:10

one day the police show up and he says

12:12

are pulling people out any this clown car status

12:14

it is people he as i normally that me

12:17

people could fit metal in his first thing in

12:19

the more in their sleep it in their lives.

12:22

There and and in your brain out like the the

12:24

drug dog and there any a cast kids they're testing

12:26

thanks I mean to me and some some the guys

12:28

were in office more like scope. In the whole

12:31

situation and we really wanted to know the

12:33

scoop because we've been following the ins and

12:35

outs of the still in every day and

12:37

so we went over and we got we

12:39

suited office coffee maker image shows his coffee

12:41

and brought this and and snacks and were

12:43

like let's go over and bring them to

12:45

the police and they will give us an

12:47

inside scoop whereas when we were witnesses and

12:49

that was the best idea we kicked out

12:51

because we're watch listened as takes a long

12:54

time by the way police of the a

12:56

three hour listen to be dishonest of my

12:58

best to detect determined says it's like. It's

13:00

nice to see the like why not

13:02

but it kept getting more and more

13:04

into your body for a bunch of

13:06

dogs like it was assassinated by what

13:08

was happening. anyway. so we're like without

13:10

an hour or book know that was

13:12

the day we we we bike we're

13:14

we're making or theorizing for you to

13:16

see people getting pulled out, you seen

13:18

drug test case you seen some people

13:20

get the you know hand often driven

13:22

away so we we go out there

13:24

with and we brew all this coffee

13:26

to for likelihood provide the police with

13:28

all the snacks and coffee research. And up

13:30

with and. That. Didn't work

13:32

they ah they took the coffee quickly and

13:35

then we are asking question they shoot us

13:37

away they took him shoot which I feel

13:39

like Steve she had taken to you can

13:41

be her reject users which means you can

13:44

reject in shoe but if you take you

13:46

as you at definitely at a hassle us

13:59

guy the. Yeah ala we

14:01

pill it we talk here. I was angry

14:03

at some snacks that we included. To be

14:05

honest that might never get on with the

14:07

best snacks in the office that was for

14:10

us but they but some the I thought

14:12

is called in the during a plate of the right

17:53

Now. Came

18:01

for him. It's

18:29

interesting because I think you find out, you know,

18:31

a lot of people,

18:33

even if they don't, or they express

18:35

it, especially if they're an artist, have

18:37

some, you know, they don't have like

18:40

a direct experience with faith.

18:42

They have indirect, you know, through

18:44

family or friends or just kind

18:46

of some personal connection that it's

18:49

interesting when it kind of finds its way out in

18:51

their work and their art. And

18:53

in interviews and stuff, and then even in the lyrics, he's

18:55

talking about like mental health struggles

18:57

and anxiety and depression and

19:00

things that are unfulfilling in life. And

19:02

like, and then he identifies that stuff with

19:04

like, I'm not going to let

19:06

the devil win. You know, that's just an

19:08

interesting correlation. Like you're saying, like he's not really a

19:11

person of faith, but still even equates

19:13

a spiritual component to a lot of the

19:15

struggles a lot of people go through. Well,

19:17

I think later too, in the song, he

19:19

talks about like, he struggled with lust and

19:22

with gluttony and with, you know, wanting just

19:24

the things of this world kind of thing. And like, I appreciated

19:29

just the honesty and like the reflection that he had. Yeah,

19:33

I think what I've been hearing a lot from

19:35

like doing sessions with people is there

19:38

is a need in the industry right now to

19:40

have actually something to say. And

19:42

I think that that's cool. Like Russ is

19:44

saying something here. I

19:46

think that we have maxed out. I think

19:49

we've said this before too, in one of

19:51

the earlier episodes, but we've kind of maxed

19:53

out on like rap or music that is

19:55

just generic and not

19:57

really specific. It doesn't go deep.

19:59

to go deep right now. And Russ

20:01

is really good at communicating and being

20:03

able to talk about subjects without like,

20:05

it always feels fresh when he addresses

20:07

it. So I think the song is

20:10

great. I think everything he releases is

20:12

great. And I'm happy to see this

20:14

happening. I wish more artists could take that

20:16

approach too. I agree. The one

20:19

thing that I noticed like on tiktok and stuff like the

20:21

Christian corner of tiktok is like all these Christian

20:23

influencer, you know, creators going,

20:26

is Russ a Christian now. And then they played the

20:28

clip and like, and they were like trying to claim

20:30

them, you know, and it's just like Jewish though. So

20:32

it's like, I think his mom's like Jewish and his

20:34

dad's like Catholic or like his Italian. It's like a,

20:37

I think it's a mix of things. Yeah.

20:39

And I, but I think like to your point,

20:41

Cameron, there is this like desire that a lot

20:43

of people have of like co-opting someone because they

20:45

came out with one Christian song. I

20:48

like, I have looked, I'm a researcher, I

20:50

have looked for him talking about his faith,

20:52

looking for this song. I can't

20:54

really find much. And

20:57

so like, I hope that he continues

20:59

on this path. I hope he continues to explore

21:01

his faith. But I do think that there

21:03

is wisdom and being cautious about like,

21:06

oh, he's a Christian, we should follow what he does. I

21:09

would not say that I would actually say

21:11

the opposite. I think it

21:13

also speaks to how a lot of times

21:15

in the real world, not maybe in kind

21:17

of like the celebrity world

21:19

where a lot of times that's

21:22

like marketed or monetized, people

21:25

live on sort of a spectrum

21:27

of morality and

21:30

even faith and doubt, right? Like, you

21:32

know, I don't think it breaks one

21:34

way. Like, oh, they're just this like

21:37

Christian who lives this sort

21:39

of lifestyle and beliefs, this

21:41

sort of thing. That's just not

21:43

how it works in the real world.

21:46

You know, not just with faith, but with a lot of things.

21:49

All right, what's next? Yeah, there

21:51

was an interesting new report that found that

21:53

more and more companies are no longer

21:55

requiring candidates to have a bachelor's degree

21:57

to apply for jobs. Instead

22:00

they're focusing on just a candidate skill set and

22:02

experience that they've had. Um, and

22:04

this is true across like all industries,

22:06

like marketing, healthcare, education, and it's like,

22:08

and it's big companies like Walmart, IBM.

22:11

I want my doctor, I want my doctors to have

22:13

degrees. All

22:15

these fields. So it's a lot of companies like

22:17

Walmart, IBM, Bank of America, Google. Um,

22:20

just a lot of really big companies. I

22:22

think, I mean, I think it

22:25

makes sense, man. I mean, like honestly,

22:27

the other thing too is like, I

22:30

don't know how many employers are even verify,

22:32

I'm sure at Google or IBM, but how

22:34

many employers are even verifying the degrees that

22:36

you, you know, like a lot of people

22:38

could just put out, I went to the school or that

22:40

school. I

22:43

think in this day and age,

22:46

especially as specific technical aptitudes

22:49

are, are often kind of what leads to,

22:51

to, to jobs. It

22:55

doesn't really matter where you learned it, as long as you

22:57

can do it well. If for, for a lot of fields,

22:59

like who cares if you have a degree in audio

23:01

production, if you're really good at what you do,

23:04

like I'd rather have the, you know what I

23:06

mean, I'd rather have the, the, the person who learned

23:08

on their own, if they're

23:10

more skilled than someone who happens to have paid

23:12

money for a degree for it, you know? Yeah.

23:14

I was going to say that too, like they're

23:17

in the music industry and a lot of the

23:19

industries that I'm around, it's really

23:21

based on your work. That's all that matters. So

23:23

like I went to Berkeley in 2020 to get

23:25

some type of degree, like I took like five

23:27

business classes and I was like, you know what?

23:29

I just want to have that. And I remember

23:31

telling my buddy, I'm like, I just want to

23:33

have that on my wall. I graduated. I did

23:35

this Berkeley. It's such my favorite, you know, always

23:37

looked up to it. And my buddy was like,

23:39

dude, at this point in life, you don't need

23:41

that. Like it's all based on your experience and

23:44

what you could do. And, uh,

23:46

you know, it does matter, but it doesn't matter. You

23:48

know, and I was like, Oh, okay. Well now I

23:50

know everything now is being judged on your past work.

23:53

I Think you can also learn so many

23:55

things just on like YouTube now. Like There's

23:57

so many. YouTube University, like Get an education.

24:00

Like I I. Would I

24:02

really am excited for is. Like. Younger

24:04

students or preorders Younger people

24:06

who. Feel. Like they can apply

24:08

a can't get a higher paying job

24:10

because they can't afford college and it's

24:12

like we've had surged to get a

24:14

really great job and you don't have

24:16

to go into debt for cause. Agree

24:18

more. I learn more about business and

24:20

working out Carter Festival booths for a

24:23

summer than I did taking business classes

24:25

and in college. Are you split? legit

24:27

like a real world experience were like

24:29

okay a lesson number one where the

24:31

where the do this in the tent

24:33

is the most and for to Portland

24:35

factor was do how do I get

24:37

their. Okay, I have to go establish

24:39

relationships and maybe border trade this or

24:41

that. Okay huh? what hours, the sign

24:43

and suchlike how or when are we

24:45

going over where we explain a crash

24:47

course that did in just real world

24:49

experience in a that's what all this

24:51

business theories are based on or what

24:54

at of still in the blank with

24:56

the field like they're teaching you something

24:58

that it's probably better off to learn

25:00

the real world a lotta times because

25:02

you know, economy. That the real

25:04

world doesn't have the did the benefit of

25:06

study time it's i work know this is

25:08

this is crash course and you their varner

25:11

fail and maybe do both at the same

25:13

time but you're going to come out with

25:15

a lot of knowledge here. You know. Or.

25:18

It with less and less talk about his

25:20

Tic Toc really clinic because Pew Research says.

25:22

came up with a new city and had

25:24

some interesting stats for up out of here

25:27

I see how many people how many Us

25:29

adults you think are on Tic Toc. When

25:32

you say on jimmy watch Orcs are

25:34

like create or consume. Authenticity.

25:37

That's a good decisions by adults. Do you

25:40

mean everybody over eighteen. Yeah. I mean

25:42

if you are I'm assuming I'm assuming in a

25:44

it's like have the app and regularly consume gods

25:46

and I'm assuming that's what Origins On I would

25:48

say to the would watch and on think there

25:51

can making stuff rate of takes thirty percent. Or.

25:53

Jozy. thirty two because they the

25:55

area is eighteen to forty year

25:58

olds. Is gonna be like a. If

26:00

I present minute after forty two, ninety year old

26:02

is going to be one percent so like. Yeah.

26:05

Five. Percent. As Elite Ogre, he

26:07

has a right. It is a third of

26:09

adults, but I love that you pointed out

26:11

that just because you're on that doesn't mean

26:13

you're like really postings Because the said he

26:15

sounds fifty two percent of adult users don't

26:18

post a video, they're just scrolling. Money isn't

26:20

fun of me. That. The next time

26:22

I've already what way. I've never once posted

26:24

a video and tic.when I'm on it every day.

26:27

You. That would be hired me when

26:29

I thought their me way more people

26:31

who just scroll than actually post content

26:34

there. I thought it would be like

26:36

maybe to it like I was eager

26:38

to. eighty twenty rule would apply for

26:41

a platform like that's where you know

26:43

that the the basically eighty percent of

26:45

the users are you know consumers were

26:48

twenty percent are are the creators h

26:50

it was shopping that half are actually

26:52

making content to I don't know, I

26:55

don't know that it and this is

26:57

anecdotal. In one person is creating tic tac content by

26:59

know a lot of people who say of late to scroll

27:01

and all night you know. Marty. Does.

27:04

What it takes. Mothers. In reality

27:06

there are does it does seem since

27:08

I didn't say anything about like the

27:10

regularly created content. but but Emily's Emily's

27:12

Way I think is. Important because

27:14

like it's not that they've they regularly

27:17

make on. The fifty percent Really

27:19

it's like at one point yeah five years

27:21

ago I did a couple things that base

27:23

of their Insurgents stories now and they're just

27:25

sitting there my pace I'm never created sense

27:27

but when as pollsters as have you do

27:29

greater abby a big that got this you'd

27:31

have to say yes yes I would a

27:33

the number will be more of what you're

27:35

thinking says he for the and regularly Korea

27:37

Yeah still like Isis is he an anti

27:39

tax in I consider myself a tic tac

27:41

reader. I've had it

27:43

30:13

about that the next day. That was all

30:15

I got. in real right now so so

30:17

real and shorts for me right now. If

30:20

you're asking what my algorithm, this hands and

30:22

Arthur conspiracies which are we to hole up

30:24

surrogacy as what the some wild stuff out

30:26

there ah been tons of an hour and

30:29

Arthur conspiracies and means. Not for lovers.

30:31

lied about that specific interaction. slight. I

30:33

have puppets. I have a puppet interactions

30:35

I have side by side comparison of

30:37

this woman a different stages in life

30:40

was different stages Megan Fox's life I

30:42

have I have reenactments with people like

30:44

and wigs I have like who Are

30:46

This guy Stop Flight is currently Hurt

30:48

30:51

some Christian Mccaffrey slurs and and it

30:53

wasn't love. It wasn't blood, the slimy,

30:55

it was means to a specific moment

30:57

in the shell and June in it.

31:00

Took over my rails and and that's all I

31:02

mean right now is that and. Emily

31:04

the do as though the Conspiracy out

31:07

Anarcho, The Secret Piano dumb as the

31:09

I've heard about it again. So and

31:11

world over there it's like they do.

31:14

There is only reason there was a

31:16

military admiral name Rob, Admiral Richard Bird

31:18

who afro over two to five thousand

31:20

troops Antarctica. Five

31:23

thousand which is a significant than they lost

31:25

a couple over there and we're doing kind

31:27

of. These military operations officially was for like

31:29

research but there is supposedly like a loss

31:31

diary where he said he got in a

31:33

battle with like. U F o

31:35

the were a couple years after Richard

31:38

Bird, when America actually was testing new

31:40

bombs dropped the bunch of nukes over

31:42

Antarctica. Right now, there are places in

31:45

America where there's international treaties where users

31:47

not allowed to go. There's also on

31:49

Google Earth. What? Appears to

31:51

be a pyramid in in Antarctica

31:54

so the the conspiracy theory is

31:56

like a lost civilization has been

31:59

hiding out. There are I'm not

32:01

seen or solidity. I'm the same because

32:03

I talked about it with a friend

32:05

one time. Like I talk about what

32:07

is finally.either flooded the zone with it,

32:09

they're flooding the zoned for the in

32:11

order to content and or is one

32:13

specific and is not because I've ever

32:15

like sought this stuff out. I think

32:17

it's listening. I really am I become

32:19

more than always oldest son man. Yeah,

32:21

be careful the government's like the keys

32:23

on to it's a podcast. It's Hermes

32:26

off at these these two things like

32:28

one time and for some reason. Some

32:30

key were was in our them and that's

32:32

all I'm getting the an easy to our

32:35

33:09

these algorithms have gotten is is there push

33:11

and everything that I'm actually interested and for

33:14

for I don't know. Why does the to

33:16

like them? I believe I mean absolutely the

33:18

government's listening to us but my friend and

33:20

35:13

conversation with John David. Well,

35:20

thanks for speaking with me today. We're here to talk

35:22

about your latest books about the Kali ayah of God

35:24

and Everyday courage. Both cover topics that

35:26

impact call of our lives, having

35:29

a fear of the Lord and also having a bold

35:31

faith. And so I'd love to just start

35:33

there. Why does our faith need courage? Well,

35:36

I mean, Emily, that is

35:39

an outstanding question. I

35:41

want to bring you back to a time period in

35:43

my life when I was suffering from

35:46

being just down and discouraged.

35:50

And in prayer, the

35:52

Holy Spirit asked me during this time period.

35:56

He said, son, what's the opposite of courage?

35:59

And I Said, fear. And

36:01

he said some put it does in front

36:03

of courage. And away. Know

36:06

how discouragement snow

36:08

Emily? Think about

36:10

this. The

36:13

older generation. Had

36:15

all died in the wilderness

36:17

and years joshua ready to

36:19

take the new generation into

36:21

the promised land. Season

36:24

and Word of God say to him

36:26

seven times in the book at Numbers

36:28

the book a dude or on a

36:31

me in the book of jostle us

36:33

and he says it's Sir Moses He

36:35

says it through the elders and he

36:37

directly says it to him be strong

36:39

and of good courage which tells us

36:42

the you are going to get the

36:44

opportunity to. Be discouraged. In

36:47

taking is entering into your

36:50

desk and. So.

36:53

Seem to the homeless as believers

36:55

today. We. All

36:57

have destinies. We all have promised land said

36:59

God is called as to. What's

37:02

the number one thing he's gonna say

37:04

to every one of us? Be strong

37:06

and of good courage Now Why do

37:08

we need to be a good courage

37:11

in this day? An hour? Because the

37:13

forces of darkness have unleashed bear attack

37:15

against silencing the church more than now

37:17

more than ever. If you look at

37:20

Jesus Jesus didn't say go and all

37:22

the world. And. Make disciples

37:24

of all nations by keeping quiet. He

37:29

said teaching them to do whatever I

37:31

commanded. You know what happened? I think

37:33

this. Is such. A.

37:37

Tremendous. Strategy

37:40

of the Double. Wouldn't

37:42

seem to see just a bunch

37:45

of legal a stick preachers. This

37:48

and what is legalism? Legalism. As someone,

37:50

I'm speaking the letter of the word

37:53

of God without a heart of love.

37:55

I'm speaking truth without a heart of

37:57

the love. When I

37:59

speak. The trees were not a higher

38:02

art of love. it turns into

38:04

legalism. So what happens is we

38:06

smoking the pendulum the other side

38:08

and we saying se les les

38:10

les just. Kind. Of bring be

38:12

born Johnny's but the problem is we

38:14

never get him to truth we never

38:16

get him to the place. Of

38:19

having not authentic relationship where there

38:21

is genuine repentance, genuine hatred for

38:23

san and see anyone passion for

38:25

God. If you think about the

38:27

christians of the second and third

38:29

century, you think about the christians

38:31

of the fourteenth and fifteenth century.

38:34

They were burned at the state,

38:36

they were crucified, they were put

38:38

on racks, and stretch wife gave

38:40

them the courage to continue to

38:42

stand up for Jesus. When a

38:44

world was hostile against them, it

38:46

was the fact that they. Haven't

38:49

seen you one. Ah of

38:51

God. A fear of God.

38:53

Our church fathers had priests.

38:56

Every. Generation until this

38:59

generation's a priest. Every

39:01

generation. the what freezes

39:03

from all unhealthy spheres

39:05

is the fear of

39:07

God. Emily the

39:09

fear of God is not to

39:11

be afraid of God is actually

39:13

being afraid of being away from

39:15

god. When God brought Israel out

39:18

of Egypt most as lead them

39:20

right in the mountains and that

39:22

the mountain is where Moses were

39:24

met with God. Now. Wants

39:26

you to stop and think about this really

39:28

carefully. He Israel

39:30

is abused by Egypt. Their.

39:33

Children are put to death. They. Have

39:35

stripes on their backs. They're working on

39:37

their lives to build somebody elses inheritance.

39:41

They were brutally treated by

39:43

Egypt the world. They

39:47

come out of Egypt and mortar They

39:49

constantly say let's go back to Egypt

39:51

it was better for us back And

39:53

Aegis Moses was raised in the most

39:55

beautiful home on the planet. His grandfather

39:57

is the wealthiest man on the planet.

40:00

He comes out of Egypt and he never once

40:02

says i want to go back to Egypt. Was

40:05

better for me was you look at the. A.

40:08

Contrast between Moses: his life in

40:10

Israel's like Israel was oppressed. Moses

40:12

actually had a pretty good life.

40:14

He could have any party wanted

40:16

in Syria, He could have the

40:19

latest Ferrari chariot. He could do

40:21

whatever he wanted. But he

40:23

never once as it was better for

40:25

me why he and one encounter with

40:27

that bush at Mount Sinai and he

40:29

brings the people wrong to that place

40:31

think about He never said to Pharaoh

40:33

thus saith the lord let my people

40:36

go to taking goto promised land He

40:38

said let my people go that they

40:40

can go to the wilderness to worship

40:42

or to meet got correct He brings

40:44

them to the amount got comes down

40:46

to introduce himself because God says to

40:48

Moses in a private meeting he says

40:50

an exodus ninety you tell all those

40:52

three million. People, the whole reason I deliver

40:54

them out of Egypt was to bring them to

40:56

myself. Dot is like I

40:58

want to have Intimacy Deaths is number one.

41:00

Desire step intimacy with you and ice tea

41:03

is more passing by being intimate with us

41:05

than we are with him. So

41:07

God tells Moses, get him ready to someone

41:09

to come introduce myself. Three

41:12

days later God comes down and the

41:14

people all scream and run away. Moses

41:16

a shot and he makes a statement

41:19

in Exodus Twenty Twenty This mind blowing.

41:21

He. Said is a people in eggs is

41:24

twenty twenty Do not fear because.com to

41:26

see if his fears in you so

41:28

this you may not San whoa whoa

41:30

Wait a minute. Do not fear speakers

41:32

Gods come to test to see the

41:34

spheres a new is most a speech

41:36

and on a two sides of his

41:39

mouth know he's differentiating between being scared

41:41

of God. And the fear of

41:43

the Lord. There's a massive difference. The person

41:45

who is scared of God is something to

41:47

hide. That's what Adam does when he sins

41:49

against God. He hides from the presence of

41:51

the Lord. The. Person who fears

41:54

God is nothing died. That person's actually

41:56

terrified of being away from God. So

41:58

if you want to look. At

42:00

the very first definition of the Fear

42:02

of God, The Healthy Fear of God.

42:05

Is to be scared? Even terrified of being

42:07

away from God. So.

42:09

Israel lack the fear of the

42:11

lord. What? We lack in our

42:14

generation right now Is the healthy fear

42:16

of God we serve gotten through? It

42:18

is we're serving. We have forgotten that

42:20

this is the one wade every drop

42:22

of water on the planet in the

42:24

palm of his hands. He mentioned

42:26

the mountains and scale, put the stars

42:28

in the universe with his fingers and

42:31

call everyone. Buy me one glimpse of

42:33

God and the most righteous man in

42:35

his generation. Isaiah cries out woe is

42:38

me because he realizes who it is,

42:40

he's really serving, and he's a godly

42:42

man. One glimpse of God The most

42:44

righteous man on the planet Out of

42:47

the gods mouth Job says i've heard

42:49

you Bud hearing of the year but

42:51

now my eye sees you. I utterly

42:53

on for myself. One glimpse of God.

42:56

Who Moses was very cliff and

42:58

close with he said in Hebrew

43:00

Chapter twelve I exceedingly fear and

43:02

I'm trembling when Sean the Apostle

43:04

sees Jesus on the island About

43:06

him Most he was the closest

43:08

disciple, but he sees Jesus and

43:10

his galore. If he falls down

43:13

like um, den Mann when he

43:15

sees this town is brighter than

43:17

the sun, we've got to remember

43:19

who it is. were serving. Am.

43:22

I say a forty five. First,

43:25

this team says you are a

43:27

God who hides yourself. The question

43:29

is Emily, Are we gonna be

43:31

in awe of the talented athletes?

43:33

The. Beautiful Hollywood stars that we

43:36

have. The. Guru Businessmen Are

43:38

we going to see the glory

43:40

of God And we going to see

43:42

the glory of God in our hearts

43:45

in the face of Jesus Christ.

43:47

He hides himself. Why? To see what

43:49

is going to an amorous what's going

43:51

to excite us? What's going to draw

43:54

us. to glory that's not

43:56

visible to the world of god that

43:58

we see and of hearts or

44:00

if we're going to be drawn to the

44:02

talented people and the beautiful people of

44:05

our day. I'm

44:11

so glad you explained the difference between being afraid

44:13

of God and having a fear of the Lord

44:15

because I absolutely agree. That is

44:17

something that I think a lot of

44:20

my generation has specifically struggled with and

44:22

wrestled with. I

44:24

would love to know, you know, how does someone

44:26

correct that belief? And how do we move from

44:28

being afraid of God to being in awe of

44:31

Him? I do believe

44:33

that if we would

44:35

spend more time in His awesome presence,

44:37

I know, Emily, when I get

44:40

in the presence of God, I mean, that's my

44:42

goal. I want to connect with God every day.

44:45

I think a lot of times pastors,

44:48

ministers, even believers, they

44:51

go off of yesterday's encounter, if

44:55

that makes sense. Now I'm

44:57

not in the Word every single

44:59

day, beholding Him. I'm

45:02

not in prayer, getting into

45:04

His presence. I may be singing worship

45:06

songs, but am I really connecting? And

45:09

what happens with me, and

45:12

I think the Bible teaches this, is

45:14

we connect with this awesome God. You

45:16

know, when Jesus said, let

45:19

me give you an example. I

45:22

used to really struggle to connect with God,

45:24

to get into His presence. And that's a

45:26

very real part of Christianity. Jesus

45:29

said, I will manifest myself.

45:31

Manifest means I'll openly

45:33

reveal myself. I

45:36

used to really struggle to get

45:38

into His manifest, tangible presence. One

45:41

day I went into prayer and I just started thinking,

45:43

wow, my Father measured the

45:45

universe with the span of His hand. He

45:48

put the stars in their orbits with His fingers. He

45:51

weighed every drop of water on this planet in the palm

45:53

of His hand. All of a

45:55

sudden, there's the presence of God. I

45:58

went, whoa. That.

46:01

Was easy. The. Next

46:03

day I tried it again. I didn't say anything

46:05

in English, didn't listen any songs I just

46:07

started. Thing about the awesome the some my father

46:09

fam there's his presence again. And

46:12

of wait a minute. Third, Day

46:14

same thing happened. Sir

46:16

Day I said. Wait a minute. This

46:19

is so easy. And. The

46:21

Holy Spirit said. What? In

46:23

Jesus teach his disciples when he time to

46:25

pray and I and I said the Lord's

46:27

for our Father which art in Heaven Hallowed.

46:30

I went oh wow, scholar would

46:32

be your niece, she's just hot.

46:35

The disciples you come into the

46:37

presence of God. With. All

46:39

with wonder of who he is.

46:42

The bible says, and som eighty

46:44

nine for seven, God is to

46:46

be greatly feared in the assembly

46:49

embassies, And. To be held in

46:51

reverence by all those around him. I

46:53

learned experience like. That. You'll never

46:55

find the presence of God in an

46:58

atmosphere where he's not held in off

47:00

or wonder. If you

47:02

look at Leviticus Ten One. errands,

47:05

Two sons made of an Ama who they

47:07

were authorized to come into the presence of

47:09

God just like were authorized to come into

47:11

the presence of go through the blood of

47:13

Jesus. They were authorized, but they came with

47:15

irreverent fire. The. Bible says

47:17

profane but that word profane me to

47:19

treat would a sacred as com and

47:22

soon we looking god and we reduce

47:24

him down to com and or ordinary.

47:27

Were coming with profane

47:30

fire. Irreverent fire. rice.

47:33

Those boys were struck down. Dad

47:35

Moses looks in this is Uncle

47:37

Moses disease or his nephews still

47:39

looks and daddy here in and

47:41

says hey. this is

47:43

what god has commanded by those who

47:46

come near me so for those who

47:48

touched my presence rights come near my

47:50

presence not touch my presence i think

47:52

it's better sex come near my presence

47:54

i must be regarded as holy and

47:57

before all the people i must be

47:59

glorified so So,

48:01

when we really grasp who it is

48:03

and we begin to just turn in

48:05

and think about the awesomeness of our

48:08

God, all of a sudden, I

48:10

believe we're going to enter His presence because if you look

48:12

at the Lord's Prayer, our Father, which

48:14

art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, that

48:18

actually reads in the original language, your

48:21

name is to be kept holy. Our

48:24

Father, which art in heaven, your name

48:26

is to be kept holy. Where

48:30

His name is kept holy,

48:33

that's where His kingdom comes and that's

48:35

where His will is done. Oh!

48:38

So, Jesus taught us right from

48:40

the beginning. He wasn't just saying, oh, nice

48:44

words of hallowed be your name. No, your

48:46

name is to be kept holy and where

48:48

it's kept holy, that is where your kingdom

48:50

manifests and where your kingdom manifests, that's where

48:52

your will is done. Wow!

48:55

That totally sheds a new light

48:57

on how to manifest the kingdom

48:59

of God wherever we go. So,

49:02

that's why, I mean, I literally have

49:04

been in meetings, Emily, where

49:07

God wasn't being reverent. The

49:09

Holy Spirit said, I'll

49:11

address that. I address it

49:13

and all of a sudden, the presence of

49:16

God comes in. It's the

49:18

presence of God that changes us. Moses

49:20

said, it's the presence of God that distinguishes us

49:22

between all the other people that is on the

49:24

face of the earth. So, the

49:27

goal is to be in His presence

49:29

because where is His presence? We

49:31

are transformed from glory

49:34

to glory. As we behold Him, we

49:36

become more and more like Him. And

49:39

so, that's why Paul said, my goal is

49:41

to know Him and the power of His

49:43

resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. I

49:46

want to be transformed and made

49:48

conformed into His image. That

49:55

was John Bevere. He started to take out his

49:57

is have for your feedback. Last week

51:21

we you know called inaudible and we

51:23

just made up or own question a

51:25

you guys and as the best pranks

51:27

that you've ever pulled or experienced. And

51:30

it was a last minute decision. We had a

51:32

few. they were funny. And. With I

51:34

we gotta we gotta go wide with this. We gotta

51:36

get more people in this conversation so we ask you

51:38

once again with the best Frank you've ever pulled her

51:41

Express you hit us up on excess. Of

51:43

Podcast And here's if you have a favorite

51:45

it is to bring the one. My dad

51:47

texted me directly and reminded me of the

51:49

principles about ten years ago on of his

51:51

friends and homemade maintenance. right

51:53

grass seeds and wrote texas a and

51:55

m on one of his friends yards

51:58

in their big texas tech fans And

52:00

it took six weeks, but eventually

52:02

like the Texas A&M logo grew

52:04

up in their yard. And it stayed.

52:06

That's great. Wow. That's a good

52:09

one. It's a good one. It's a long game, but

52:12

it was worth it. Speaking of long games, this

52:14

sounds meticulous. You

52:16

know, just unscrewing the Oreos would take a long

52:18

time. But back in high school, I put toothpaste

52:20

in Oreos. I had told the teacher which ones

52:23

were safe and which ones weren't. So she would

52:25

hand them out and then eat a safe one

52:27

to confuse the students. It was wonderful.

52:30

That's a commitment. That's like staying up all night. You

52:32

know, you just doing a sleeve would take you

52:34

a while. And I love that the

52:36

teacher was in on it. Okay.

52:39

The teacher wasn't like, no, we can't do this. The

52:43

teacher prank thing just reminds me, I was in seventh

52:46

grade Christian school science

52:48

class and no sixth

52:50

grade. And I was a new student

52:52

at this Christian school. And so didn't

52:54

know a lot of the kids yet. Okay. Teacher

52:57

science class had a big like pot of

52:59

nitrogen, like liquid nitrogen. And he was going

53:01

to show us how it instantly freezes anything

53:03

you put into it. So he pulled

53:05

me outside and he had this prank that he cooked up and

53:08

he was going to put a nylon glove

53:10

on me. But the index finger,

53:12

he put a hot dog in it and he's

53:14

like, just fold your finger over. So it looks

53:16

like it's your normal finger. Okay. So

53:19

we go back in and he's like, dip the

53:21

index finger into the liquid nitrogen. And then

53:23

I'm going to show them as a thing.

53:25

I'll take a hammer and I'll show them

53:27

that I can hit that your

53:29

index finger and it'll crack off the

53:31

plastic. Like it'll just break off, you

53:34

know? So really what he's gonna

53:36

do is smash it anyway. So I do that and he

53:38

takes it and lay my hand on the table and he

53:40

takes a hammer and he goes whack on

53:42

the, on the index finger. And then just

53:44

the hot dog and everything just explodes and

53:46

meat chunks just shoot off. Kids

53:48

are screaming. The man just

53:51

beat my frozen finger. It was great.

53:53

It was the best prank ever. Kids

53:56

were traumatized by it. Cause there's like

53:58

meat chunks like flying around. to

54:00

the sixth graders. I love that guy. He got

54:02

fired. He got fired the next year. Oh my

54:04

God. He's not for that. Yeah,

54:07

if you can traumatize someone for life. He

54:09

also, he had this crazy powerful laser that

54:11

we could shoot across the city and see

54:13

it on the water tower. And he would

54:15

let me take it home on the weekends

54:17

and just play with this laser and stuff.

54:19

The guy who has... He was reckless. I

54:21

loved him. I could say he got fired.

54:23

Change your life. Yeah. I got understandable reasons.

54:25

I saw a video of someone, like it

54:27

was taken from like a helicopter and

54:29

some guy who's in his driveway, like shining a green

54:31

laser at it, you know, which by

54:34

the way, is not a good smart, I think,

54:36

to do. Within minutes,

54:39

cops show up and arrest the guy in

54:41

the driveway. It's a felony, man. Yeah. And

54:43

it was like, watch all this transpire in

54:45

three minutes. Just some random dude, like smoking

54:47

a cigarette in his driveway to him being

54:49

taken away by the cops. It was a

54:52

matter of... And the helicopter driver's like, I've got a guy

54:54

shining a laser down at the... Like, do you know the

54:56

address? He's like, yeah, I can tell you, right now I

54:58

got a camera on here. And it was just like,

55:01

oh, this is poor guy. Poor, you

55:03

know, he didn't think this was going to happen. But

55:05

yeah, that idea. Back to the reader ones. Let's

55:07

see. I got Joe. He said,

55:10

I call the local radio stations

55:12

buy, sell or trade show and

55:14

advertise that I was giving away

55:16

several big ticket items due to

55:18

a move. I gave the

55:20

show my friend's name and phone number.

55:22

He got over 150 calls from

55:24

people who were interested. That's awesome. He

55:27

was later murdered by one of these

55:29

trainers. Facebook

55:31

marketplace assassination. That's

55:34

the neighbor gets the one where it's

55:37

like his bid about like, my wife is

55:39

starting selling stuff on Facebook. I found this

55:41

out by a stranger standing on my front

55:43

door. And he's like, she doesn't sell like

55:45

high ticket items.

55:48

She sells like a toddler

55:50

chair. We don't want anymore for $5.

55:52

He's like, best case scenario, you get

55:54

$5 worst case scenario, my

55:57

entire family is murdered. David

56:04

said in college, he had an

56:06

alarm clock program on his computer that could

56:08

access robotic

56:11

text to voice. On weekends, when he was

56:13

away, he'd program it to start saying weird

56:15

things to his roommate at six in the

56:17

morning. That's very Jim and Dwight right there.

56:19

That is, you know. That's good.

56:22

All right. Well, there's more where

56:24

that came from if you want to check out the replies

56:26

over on our social media platform. All right. It's

56:28

time for this week's... editorial question

56:31

of the week. Well,

56:34

we were talking earlier about Jesse looking

56:36

out his window and just seeing crazy

56:38

stuff happen on the street. And got

56:40

us thinking, we want to know what's the craziest

56:42

thing that's happened that or that you've seen while

56:44

you were at work. I

56:46

think we've all experienced a few unexpected

56:49

events in our workplace or out the window

56:51

of our workplace. Even if it's just some

56:54

hilarious, awkward, interpersonal stuff between coworkers. We're

56:56

down for those or a lunch mishap

56:59

or something. I had

57:01

two Irish guys one day. I was the

57:03

only one here is late. And

57:05

they... And we usually lock the doors

57:07

because you get a lot of rando scatters wandering

57:09

by. And these two

57:12

Irish guys walked in and for some

57:14

reason thought that we were like a

57:16

whiskey bar. I have no

57:18

whiskey. And I was telling them, I was

57:20

walking around showing them like look at all

57:22

this clearly is not a distillery of any

57:24

kind. And they refused to believe me. Why

57:26

would you take the time to walk them

57:28

around and show them your office? They were

57:30

increscionless. They could have been casing it. They

57:32

were increscionless. They were increscionless. I will say

57:35

this. This is like Home Alone. The Irish

57:37

accent is a very friendly accent. It's like,

57:39

oh, it's two Irish guys. They

57:41

seem like they're going to be a good time. But yeah,

57:44

they could have been... Have you ever seen the Boston crime

57:46

shows? They all have Irish accents. You know, we

57:48

were robbed the next morning. And

57:51

Then a couple weeks later, I saw those two

57:54

guys getting dragged out of the building across the

57:56

street. Apparently they were living there too with a

57:58

bunch of dogs. I

58:00

thought I would hit as are violent

58:03

though we're discourages have an eight year

58:05

workplace hit us up on x our

58:07

58:09

I could have put these pieces together.
