it was really good, that wasawesome.
And then we get back Saturdayor Friday night late, friday
night, saturday morning,saturday morning.
And then staying home Saturdayand then leaving after church
(01:07):
Sunday morning for Oklahoma Well, technically Illinois.
So I could say three states intwo weeks, three states where
you actually stopped and visited.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Supposed to be four, but yeah, that one got cut short
.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, we had some things we had to take care of
and we wasn't able to stop inthe Tennessee like we wanted to.
My kids got a good dose of whatit's like to be on the road and
be busy.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now they're thinking God Dad's a pastor, not an
evangelist.
Yeah, how was Bristow for youguys?
It was awesome.
Yeah, lots of fun.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, got to see a lot of friends, got to make new
friends, new acquaintances.
It was a blast.
Preaching was tremendous.
Fellowship was tremendous.
It was fun.
Good Oklahoma weather, thethunderstorms, tornadoes and all
that stuff rain.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
About to blow you out of the state.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
huh, yeah, one night got a little hairy there for a
minute.
Tornadoes and all that stuff,Rain About to blow you out of
the state, huh yeah.
Yeah, One night got a littlehairy there for a minute, but it
kind of come in and went out asfast as it came in.
So that was all well and good.
Oklahoma gets a little harderto leave.
It's what I told those guys.
I said every time we come toOklahoma it gets a little harder
to leave the state, but we gota leash here in Cincinnati that
(02:27):
keeps us coming back.
Our church there.
We can't.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You better come back.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, we love our people, we love our church.
We don't want to.
That's what keeps bringing usback.
I mean family and all thatstuff too, but there's a church
there.
That just has got my heart.
I've got to come back.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Better you than me.
Well, you can't go nowhere.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Give me heart attacks when you're gone, of course as
soon as you leave, everypreacher in the nation has to
stop by I'm loving it, thoughI'm loving it so many preachers
are getting the word of thechurch and you know, because
there for a while we wasn'tgetting any visitors unless we
asked them right to come.
So I really do like and covid2020 kind of changed the
(03:15):
mentality of that.
You know, there was a, therewas a time where we had we had
visitors that wasn't nothing tohave visitors come in and then
covid hits.
And then there was like a yearafter COVID where it was like
preachers were asking do youmind if we just kind of pop in?
I think, man, that's kind of asad day that we live in, when
(03:36):
preachers are out on the roadand having to ask permission
just to come by.
But I get it.
There was so many differentpeople were looking at things so
many different ways and itseems like now you're you're
starting to see preachers, awhole, a whole different group
of preachers starting to comeout yeah and it's, it's
wonderful to me to see that kindof happen and then starting to
(03:59):
see them come back visit thechurch without you know, without
the schedule, just hey, we felt, felt like coming by and all
that stuff it was.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was pretty good yeah, covid changed the idea of
courtesy church courtesy yeah,in a sense it did all I know is,
uh, covid was a big setback fora lot of people.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, it was a time of I feel like it wasn't an
attack of the enemy, but it wassomething that the devil used to
separate churches from eachother.
Oh for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, it instilled a lot of fear.
So when we had Sunday, theSunday that we left, we left
right at altar call because wewent and seen Brother and Sister
Ten and they're in JonesboroIllinois and I had it down how
long it would be and I playedthe hour because we gained an
(04:50):
hour.
We pulled in to their church ahalf hour before service started
and we didn't stop and sit downto eat.
That was driving through, thatwas, you know, only stopping for
bare minimum gas and, and youknow, bathroom breaks, because
there's six people in a van andmy kids aren't used to the road
(05:11):
constant grind, you know.
So we we go into that whilewe're there.
That was the time that we justthat that we had a new couple
visit for the first time.
I don't know that they'd everbeen to Sharonville.
A new preacher couple come bythat morning and I hated it
because I'm like man, we werejust in youth camp.
(05:32):
I knew that we were going tohave the young people testify
and then I knew I was going outof town.
So I'm like I have to preach.
I'm not going to be there for acouple services.
So I felt like Sunday morningsI tend to preach anyway as the
pastor, but I knew going out oftown I felt like if I didn't it,
it was gonna.
It could have been a littlerough you know so, um, and they
(05:55):
were already scheduled so Icouldn't get them to come back
that night.
And then to find out thatanother missionary, uh, was in
town and he wanted to come bythe church so he could meet me,
and I wasn't even there you knowhe was gone it's.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's funny how all that works out, but I I'm very
thankful that the church isgetting out there and, you know,
being seen in a good light yeah, a lot of people are seeing our
instagram and our facebook andsome of the the reels and stuff
that we put on, and the liveitself is very important that a
lot of people seem to gravitatetowards and get to be in church
(06:32):
without being in church or getto visit a church that's so far
away.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, that was the weird thing about Bristow this
year to me, because we do theFacebook Live and we do that and
and I know especially there fora while, facebook live, live
video stuff like that that'ssomething you kind of have to
get used to and if, if you don't, if you don't want it I'm not
one of those ones it's like man,I can't believe that you're not
(06:58):
utilizing the tool and all thatstuff.
We started it because of ofcovid and then we I stopped it
for a while and then we had someindividuals about two years
after maybe 2022, 2023, thatwere basically locked in.
They couldn't go anywhere, thoseshut-ins, and so we started it
(07:18):
back up and that's really why Idid it.
I did it to be able to reachout to the ones that wasn't able
to make it to church serviceand we was able to give them the
links and then we tied it intoYouTube, which now we have the
YouTube live that we do in theyou know, but we put the link on
Facebook.
But it's just a.
It's a tremendous tool thatpeople's been able to see and
(07:42):
that's like, uh, I met somepeople in bristow that I hadn't
met or was introduced to me andstuff, and the one thing that I
found that was pretty funny wasthey were like man, we seen you
on instagram or we see onfacebook and all that stuff, and
it was all positive feedbackand yeah if you know me, I'm not
and I know I talk a lot on hereand if you met me at the church
(08:03):
or whatever, it's a.
it's a whole differentpersonality.
But I would much rather be inthe shadows.
I don't have to have thelimelight.
So being on that it's kind oflike it's out of my comfort zone
, but the Lord's using it for apositive light.
I'm very thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, for the most part it's pretty successful,
except for when Brother Jaredcomes up to me does a photo and
gets a close-up on purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, it's kind of like those funny news things
where they're doing the trafficcams or whatever and there's a
bird in the camera or a squirrelor something.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, except ours is Bigfoot and he's in the center
aisle.
So we've been talking aboutBigfoot here before.
If you want to see him, you cansee him on Facebook Live.
Yeah, we spot him every sooften, just because of the show
man you know, you got to getthat special appearance.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Word of the day.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Word of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Brother Jonathan's not here.
Somebody's got to pick it upGot to have it in spirit.
So I was again.
I was going through the bigdictionary that I was given and
I found this word and let mepull it up.
I had it and then time went onmy phone.
I ran out of time, so let's seehere I'm probably going to
butcher the pronunciation.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's all right, you're my kid.
Welcome to the club, bud.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Anatodaphobia.
Anatodaphobia.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Anatodaphobia.
So it's a fear or something.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's probably nothing like what it sounds like as far
as a fear, Well, soarachnophobia is a fear of
spiders, yeah, so this word isthe irrational fear of being
watched by ducks.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Of being watched.
Watched by ducks Of beingwatched.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Watched by ducks, not Dutch.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Not.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Dutch duck walking Duck.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Wait, not duck watching, but being watched by
ducks being watched by ducks.
Oh, my word dude.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So it's not an actual phobia, it was.
It was, uh, come up by acartoonist by the name of gary
larson in 1998 in his comicseries of the far side, and he
came up with this word with acomic reference, like a comic
picture of someone, a man,sitting in his office and he
(10:25):
looks out the window and there'sa duck staring at him.
And so people came up withanadophobia, or however you
pronounce it, and that's now thefear of being watched by ducks.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Is that his kryptonite?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm not sure I haven't read the series.
I just looked up what theorigin of the word was.
What a crazy word.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, you know, what's hilarious about that is
when he said that and he tellsme the pronunciation, like I'm
picturing some little old ladyor old man sitting on a park
bench throwing bread out to theducks, and then one duck just
sitting there and just awkwardlystaring at them, and then
you're staring back at the duckand it's staring at you and then
all of a sudden that fear ofwhat's getting ready to happen I
(11:05):
can see.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
that Makes me think of the duck from Courage, the
Cowardly Dog.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I don't know anything about that one.
I also started singing the ducksong in my head.
Oh Lord.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And that is your word of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I can see that guy having what is it anatophobia?
Anatidophobia.
Anatidophobia.
Spe (11:31):
A-N-A-T-I-D-A-E-P-H-O-I-B-A .
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Anatid, anatidophobia , anatidophobia yeah, I would
say, if the duck walked up to alemonade stand and he's
constantly asking for grapes.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Got any grapes?
He's making you mad.
He's just giving the guy adeath stare.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Oh the quack.
And he waddled away.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Waddle, waddle Until the very next day, the ducks
that they're afraid of don'twaddle away.
They just stare at them.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Changed the song entirely, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
funny though that when you look up those words of
those phobias, they all saythey're never irrational and
they're never real phobias.
Yeah, they're never, uh, I meanthere are some like
arachnophobia.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
There are people that's legitimately terrified
yeah, but the phobia of verylong words is a phobia that's
not recognized.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But all of them start with an irrational yeah.
What causes the fear?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So in that term irrational, does it mean that
it's not?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
possible.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's not rational, well duh, so does it mean that
it surpasses somebody being ableto understand what it is?
Is that what makes itirrational, or that it's
unbelievable what they're?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
seeing is unbelievable.
I think it's irrational in thefact that you don't have any
reason to have that fear.
You just have it.
Like, for example, Ilegitimately have a fear of
heights, uh-huh, but I have noreason to have the fear of
heights because I've never beenhurt by falling from a high
altitude or I've never beenthere's, there's never been a
(13:16):
fear, there's never beenanything like, there's never
been anything that has broughtthat fear on.
I just have there's.
There's a legitimate uneasinessyeah, there's no rationale to
it whatsoever, but is the fearof heights?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
irrational, I but.
But here's the thing I guesswhen I, when I think of a
rational fear, is a fear that issomething that is completely
harmless.
Ducks are, for the most part,very harmless.
Heights are harmless, yeah, butI wouldn't say that that it's
irrational.
I would say that's a probablerational, always heart height,
(13:51):
good lord it's like dude.
It's the microphones, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
it does it to you heights aren't always um uh
harmless nobody's ever got hurtfrom heights.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They've got hurt by the fall yeah, but if you fall
from heights, fear of heights.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
If you fall from heights it hurts, okay, but
falling in general hurts I don't, I don't think, okay, if I fall
from a high spot and then Ihave a fear, it's a rational
fear.
No, yeah, it's rational.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
No, I don't think so.
I think knowing that somebodyhas fell off of some height of
some degree and has died isenough proof for me to say that
fear of heights is a rationalfear.
How?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
high.
Do you have to go to die from afall?
Well, I had an uncle.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
He fell off a roof at like 12 foot.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It all depends on how you land.
It's kind of like drowning youcan drown in like an inch of
water or what is it?
Two inches or something?
It doesn't have to be much.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But to give you an idea, they say by like people
that like commit suicide off ofskyscrapers and stuff.
They're dead before, beforebecause of the fear yeah, that's
their heart.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They have a heart attack before they hit.
The study says that they die ofa heart attack.
Their heart gives out.
But then, at the same time,there's people that survive the
fall off the golden gate bridgeand stuff to that nature so it's
a crazy little rabbit trailstory here we're used to that.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
As we say, this is the podcast of add there was a
man I want to say he's from newy, but I don't know how true
that is or not, but he's abusinessman.
He was in a high.
He owned this giganticskyscraper and as a stunt he
would run from his desk and hewould hit the glass on the side
of the skyscraper to show themjust how strong the glass was
that it would not break.
(15:40):
Well, he did it so many timesthat he loosened the glue that
held that piece of glass in.
The glass didn't shatter, yeah,yeah, Shatter.
He hit it and it came out ofplace.
The pain came out it came outof place and it fell with him
and he died.
Yeah, that glass was like.
(16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's why you got to .
There's always consequences toyour actions.
Yeah, but I don't I.
I look at it like this so wouldthat be an irrational fear I,
if you, if you look at it inthat aspect, then we should be
afraid of everything no, no yeah, people's.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
People's died in car accidents, yet I don't have a
fear of driving.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I have a fear of people hitting me, people's, but
I don't, because fear fear I.
I have a respect.
I look at it like that.
There's respect.
It's like this I work, or usedto, and I and I still do.
I am an electrician by trade.
I've got into some pretty highvoltages and I've done things
(16:44):
not bragging because I look backat it now and for lack of a
better term, it was absolutelystupid on my part.
I mean, I've messed with like540 live without even thinking,
just flipping wires and all thatstuff without even any thought
to this might kill me.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, if I touch this , it will kill me.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
One bad thing is going to blow up in my face, you
know, or kill me, because I hada respect.
I've got a respect for the factthat the guy next to me could
be wasted or not a very goodthing.
There's a nervousness, but tohave a fear of something that
has had absolutely nothing toharm me, I think is irrational.
(17:26):
There's nothing, because Icould be afraid of everything.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't know.
I think there's stuff that is100% to be.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
If somebody has a fear or something.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I don't think that it has to be a death-taking fear.
I mean, everybody has a time intheir life where they would get
up to a high point and they'relike, oh, if I fall I'm going to
die.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, you respect it though.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Or you get caught under the water in a wave or
something like an undercurrentor something.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You're like, oh boy, I better get up and out of this.
Yeah, but that is a legitimatereason to have the fear because
you're caught in something oryou're pushing yourself past the
limits.
But for me, just to have a fearfor no absolute, there's no.
Nothing in my life has happenedfor me to have a fear of
heights.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I think to say I'm not talking about like so
irrational to me would mean thatthere's something that is
unfathomable for that fear,right.
That's kind of how I see it.
Just because I have a fear of aheight doesn't make it a phobia
, though, right.
A phobia would be that that itinterrupts my daily activities,
(18:40):
something that I think about too.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I don't think so.
I think it can.
I don't think it's that deep.
I think it is because I think aphobia is having that fear of
that thing at all times, likeyeah but.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But that's what I'm saying is that it interrupts
your daily activities, and I'mnot talking about just having a
rational fear when circumstancesarise.
I'm just talking like I thinkwhat they're saying as far as
like irrational is, it issomething that controls your
daily life.
When you're thinking aboutavoiding that.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So a phobia, from what I've heard and from what
I've seen, is basically like anextreme fear, like you're scared
of this like paralyzing yeah,like if, like you say, you're
scared of heights, there'ssomeone who has a phobia of
heights.
It's like they can't go over acertain height or else they're
gonna have a panic attack andpossibly hurt themselves out of
(19:35):
fear.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So phobia itself is extreme or irrational fear.
Phobia is the meaning ofirrational fear.
Yeah, irrational, not logicalor reasonable.
Right, there's no, there's norhyme or reason, I think we are
saying the same thing withoutsaying the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Look, my wife will tell me that I am stubborn.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
And she also says that you just like to argue.
And then when she says that Ialways respond with I don't like
to argue, and she says you'reliterally arguing about arguing.
So I have to say, say, but I'mnot anyway.
What was that?
(20:22):
Word again anatodaphobia I justwanted you to do that, because
I know I'm not always the onethat messes up the words.
He told me.
Benjamin told me that on ourchasing geese episode I called
them gooses.
You did you did.
I think you did it on purpose aswell yeah, I think you did, I
think it was knowing me, it wasprobably just me talking
(20:45):
normally and I didn't even thinkabout it, because I do not
remember calling them gooses youknow what you would have called
them.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
No, I would never have done that.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I can see me saying real quickly Gooses instead of
Geese.
I really can.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I mean, it is me Well , I'm saying, if you were going
to say it intentionally, youwould have said Goosen.
I didn't notice it as a joke.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I didn't notice it until I was listening to it with
volume all the way up and I waswalking around.
I don't know where I was.
My mom pointed out did Jonathanjust say gooses?
So I rewanted it.
I said no, that was dad.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Don't claim him.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I think it'd be more scary to say that she thought
you were John.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We'll have to have a talk about that one.
I still don't think Jonathanand I sound anything alike.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No, I don't think you do either.
I don't know where that idea iscoming from, Because when I
edit I can clear it.
Maybe it's because I sit withyou guys every day, talking to
you every day, but I don't know.
I don't hear the difference.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm like there's nothing there that suggests a
closeness.
I listen to him every day so Ican tell the difference
instantly.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, he said that with a sigh, not just that, but
when Jonathan says it, I can seethe way he's saying it.
When he says it, he's very,very expressive guys.
We miss you, Jonathan.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Can't wait for you to come back to the show.
Quit being lazy.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
He had some family things he had to get to.
They got double booked on us.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But talk about bringing stuff back to the show.
I may or may not have anotheradvertisement for everybody from
Brother Jared, so I think youguys will enjoy this.
We haven't done one in a whileand let us know what you think.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
W-A-F-F-L-E-H-O-U-S-E .
We're gonna have a good timeand you feel like family, For
good food, fast and a betterplace to be.
W-a-f-l-e H-O-U-S-E.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
What do quality ingredients, staff integrity,
family atmosphere and anationwide vision for great food
and easy dining have in common?
I'll tell you.
At Waffle Hoss, we strive toembody these qualities and goals
in every hash brown we fry, Ina new tradition of eating with
friends and family, or trying toeat a hash brown without being
(23:28):
seen.
I'll be honest, it's worth itany way you want to slice it,
but don't let me butter you upmyself.
Let's hear from some of ourvalued customers about their
experiences and thoughts onWaffle House.
Yeah, it is like traditionalwaffle my mother used to make me
when I was a little floobysniffling, playing in the
(23:49):
countryside.
What do I think of it?
Well, I have to say that it'sone fine dining experience as
far as I can see and I have aneye for these things- like I
said it is, it is okay.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It is edible food.
I can eat it.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
It's just not my favorite well, you can't win

.
Yeah Plug, his number is555-5555.
How did you get that number?
So a little side note on thatone.
(28:14):
You know there's a song that is8-6-7-5-3-0-9?
.
That's an old song.
That was a legit phone numberyeah it was like his ex yeah it
was his ex-girlfriend yeah yeah,that's so funny he sang a song
about it.
They had to change the number.
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, talk about another funny thing before we
get to your story.
Did you hear about this guy?
To get back at his, his ex, heput out flyers all across the
city that had her number on itand they were like trying out
for Chewbacca impressions.
You know, leave it in ourvoicemail.
And like this lady came on thenews and she was like there's
(28:51):
nothing but people going every,every single voicemail.
Was somebody giving their bestimpression you want to talk
about?
Speaker 3 (28:58):

Hey, I wish I thought ofsomething like that.
I've never had that smart of anidea until afterwards when

Next time Becca makes you mad,make a fake Javaka post.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I won't do that to my wife because, hey, I will tell
you what she does.
She starts researching stuffand she got to the point to
where she didn't.
Because everything today, ifyou look at anything online and
you're just researchingsomething, to get that little
bit of info that you're lookingfor, you have to give a phone
number.
I don't know why.
(29:37):
I do know why because they'retracking you down.
But she never gave her phonenumber.
I would get random, I'd getreal estate agents, I was
getting insurance people.

yeah, so we were just callingyou in response to your wanting
more information.
I'm like I didn't ask for moreinformation.

They wanted a phone number, soI just gave them yours.
So I was like I mean, one timeI had some real estate agents
like so what are you looking forin a house?
I'm like I'm living in a house.
Speaker 1 (30:17):

The one I'm living in .
That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
So don't give your phone number away to random
people.
It's no fun.
Or give away random people'sphone numbers, okay, so anyway,
funny news story Now that we'reoff of that goose trail, june
5th.
This is off of I'm getting thisoff of uh upicom and it says
this wild elephant wanders ininto store in search of sweet
(30:48):
treats.
So a wild elephant wanders outof a national park in Thailand
to visit a grocery store wherethe peckish pachyderm feasted on
eggs and sweet treats.
This elephant is well known tothe locals.
It's one that's known for kindof stepping out of the national
(31:09):
park, but it's never made it allthe way into the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
So the 27-year-old elephant named Playbeing Lick is
well known for his frequenttreks out of the KOY National
Park in search of snacks.
Residents say that he can oftenbe seen walking past a corner
store a little over half a milefrom the park entrance gate, but
on Monday he made what isbelieved to be his first visit
(31:36):
to the store's interior.
Could you imagine what it wouldbe like to just be sitting
there and all of a sudden, thiselephant comes walking inside
your store?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I would love it.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Would you really?
Yeah, I'd be freaking out.
So the elephant feasted on it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That would bring more people in, because they'd want
to see the elephant in the storeprobably.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
They might be buying treats.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I don't know.
Wild elephants are crazy.
Sometimes you never know whatthey're going to do, and those
things are huge.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
What's the name of the elephant?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
It's like Ply being Lick.
Is it a boy or girl?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
elephant it doesn't say His.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, so it's a boy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yep, that's a hard.
No Bull elephants are a no.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So the elephant feasted on eggs, dried bananas,
a sandwich and nine bags ofsweet rice crackers before Park
Rangers arrived.
Eggs To usher him out of thebusiness.
Eggs, dried bananas, a sandwichit doesn't say what sandwich,
but a sandwich I've never heard.
I don't.
Are they omnivores?
(32:33):
I've never researched, I don'tknow if it's like regular eggs,
eggs, if it's like sweet eggs,because they kept saying sweet
treats.
I want to know what thesandwich was.
Yeah, and then sweet ricecrackers.
Um, before the park rangersarrived.
Here's the funny thing membersof the ko yay elephant lovers
(32:54):
group donated about 25 to thestore to pay for this elephant's
snacks.
So his bill got paid and he gota sweet treat.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
It would have to be eggs, sweet eggs, because they
don't eat eggs.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
And just in case anybody was concerned that's
listening to this story, thestore owner said he was not
angry at the elephant, as theanimal must have been hungry
must have been.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh wow, I couldn't imagine why.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, for real just busting down the doors and it
must have been reese eggs, man,I'd be breaking into a grocery
store with some reese eggs, yeahno what, I'm not a fan of
reese's the best reese thing outthere is the reese eggs or the
I'd be breaking into a grocerystore with some Reese eggs.
Yeah, no, what?
I'm not a fan of Reese's.
The best Reese thing out thereis the Reese eggs or the
(33:50):
Christmas trees, the.
Christmas trees are good, Idon't know.
My mom got me a one pound Reesebunny.
I ate that thing in one sittingdude.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
That guy was gone, yeah.
So I'm not one that likes thereal thick Reese's, but I love
the eggs and I love the trees.
But my favorite Reese's snackif I'm just getting something
just for a little bit of thesweetness is the Thins.
I love the Thins man.
I could pop them things all daylong.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I will say I'll eat them.
If I need or I just want asnack and they're the only thing
there, I'll eat them.
But it's kind of like BrotherJonathan and Waffle House.
They're tolerable.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, and edible, yeah.
My favorite are the Reese'smini cups Like you find at
Easter time.
Those are the best.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Like Christmas and stuff.
The ones that I liked it was ithad like gooey chocolate in it,
and the ones that I liked ithad like gooey chocolate in it,
and that was the one that Iliked.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Did you see that they had a peanut butter and jelly
Reese's?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
No, I don't think I'd like it Ew.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Oh, I wanted to try it.
So bad.
But I can't find no place thatsells it.
And the one place that I didfind that sold it was sold out.
One had grape jelly, one hadstrawberry jelly and it was
peanut butter and chocolate.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I love peanut butter and chocolate.
I I love peanut butter andjelly, but I don't think I like
peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I don't know how I feel about with chocolate.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, I don't think I could do that I could eat
peanut butter and jelly all dayoh, I would try it in a
heartbeat, just to do.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
I would try it as a try it, but I don't think that I
would.
I would not try it and be happywith it.
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That makes sense they're doing a ton of stuff
with reese, though my favoriteReese's is.
I believe I'm looking at itright now.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Don't say pieces, because those are the worst
Reese's, oh I love Reese'spieces, but they're not.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
They're not delicious .
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'll tell you that he was so disappointed he had to
look at the wall.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You have to eat them you have to eat them by the
handful.
I love Reese's pieces, but tome, reese's Pieces is one of
those things when I'm drivingand I have like I just want to
chew on something.
I could buy a bag of them and Ican just hammer them down like
M&M's.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
If I'm going to do that, I'm going to get M&M's or
Skittles.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yeah, I get Skittles 75% of the time.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, skittles, I eat the whole bag at once.
And then I've got this big globof something that I'm chewing
on.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Reese's outrageous what is that?
The bar?
Speaker 3 (36:03):
it's a bar, the wafer bar no, it's not a wafer bar,
it is the nougat, because youknow they have the fast break,
which is really good.
Yeah, so it's it's not nougat,but it's the reese's, it's the
like a twix it's like the peanutthe peanut butter.
It's got Reese's Piecesscattered through it, so you get
the crunch of the shell of theReese's Pieces.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
That's disgusting.
He had to look at the wallagain and caramel Dude.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
It is amazing though.
Oh yeah, it is amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
I just don't like Reese's Pieces man.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
That's just not good.
Yeah, peanut butter.
I don't want crunch in mypeanut butter I don't get.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
It's like crunchy peanut butter?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
no, no, it's not not when you're eating it in a candy
bar.
Yeah, it kind of is no I don'tlike crunchy peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I just rather have it smooth.
You ever, did you ever get thereese's cup with the potato
chips in it?
What, what?
Yeah, you didn't.
You guys haven't seen thateither.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
When was that that Not too long ago?
I don't know that you can stillbuy them.
I think I would like that.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Awesome.
They also made them with thepretzel, and that's not to take
five.
There's a difference.
But they made the peanut buttercups with the pretzel in it or
with the potato chips in it.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I didn't care for the pretzel one, but the potato
chips one was I will say thisgrowing up, mom would like leave
the brownie butter out and wewould dip our potato chips in
that yeah, that's good, so good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'm not a sweet salty person, but but for whatever
reason that stuff is.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I like that I, I like it a lot like that.
That.
I like the sweet, I like thesalty, like dipping your fry in
a frosty.
Oh, oh, I love that too.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Used to.
I used to love the old schoolWendy's fries and Frosties.
They were made for it.
They was like potato spoons forthe chocolate Frosty.
But the new fries are horrible.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I like their new fries because they're more salty
.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Their new fries are good to eat by themselves, but
they're horrible to dip inFrosties.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
See, I never got into that.
So I didn't like theRolls-Royce.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Yeah, because that was way back before your time,
that was before me and your momwas married Still.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
It's been a long time ago.
It's been around since like the50s, though, Ben.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
People dipping their fries in ice cream.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Yeah, I mean I've done it before, I just never
caught onto it.
It's never been thatinteresting to me.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I also have a hard time with the hot and cold
contrast at the same time.
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
See, I'm the opposite , Like if I'm going to get some
sweet tea and it's nice andfresh.
I like getting that on thebottom, where it's like that
lukewarm.
You get kind of cold, a littlebit of warm at the same time Hot
.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
I like it hot or I like it cold.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
See, I think if it's cold it doesn't have as much
flavor it does.
Oh, it definitely does.
Some of the ones that I've had,they didn't have as much flavor
when they were cold to hot.
It depends on where you get itand who makes it.
Well, it's when my grandma madeit.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Oh Well, I think Really and get it to the way I
want it to taste.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yeah, I don't like overly sweet tea.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I like McDonald's sweet tea At one time, that's
overly sweet tea.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
At one time McDonald's put so much sugar in
their tea that you could chew it.
I remember that because I gotit one time.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I got a large and I couldn't go to remember that
night too, like daffy duck dude,I, I love, I want it so sweet
you can pour it over your, yourpancakes.
You're not mark lowry, I know,but he made the best description
for that nah, that's too much,man, but that's only if you run
(39:33):
out of syrup.
Yeah, but I mean I like it niceand sweet.
I I don't know, I just don'tlike.
Now, if I'm having it hot, Idon't want it sweet.
I'll put honey in it to help.
But like as far as like puttingsugar in there.
I don't like putting sugar inmine.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
So are you a chamomile tea person?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
No, I like black tea.
That's the only tea I'll drink.
Yeah, green tea makes me usethe bathroom too much, gotta
stick with the black.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I drink black tea.
Earl Grey is one of my favoriteones.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
I'm too.
I don't know enough about it todeep dive into what kind of
teas.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I just know I like sweet tea.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah, give me that sweet tea, put six pounds of
sugar in it, mix that puppy up.
I can't do it About two ouncesof water.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I'd rather have unsweetened tea, but I have got
now, See the unsweetened tea isusually too bitter for me, but
the one that we had at Bristow,that wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah, yeah, he thought he was getting sweet tea
and it was unsweetened.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
It was unsweetened, but I couldn't tell a difference
until like day two.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It didn't taste bad, it was good, it was really good.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, the food there was really good too.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
My favorite thing that I've started drinking here
lately is lime water.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Lime water?
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, I've never tried a lime in my life.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I've never ate a lime , but I've drank lime water,
lime and lemon in your water.
Put me a glass of water and puthalf a lime in it.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
It's really good so is that why they were just?
That was just a random bag oflimes.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah, yeah, this boy, here we get our groceries
yesterday and uh he asked me totake out the trash.
I was like hey, take out thetrash and help bring, because we

Speaker 2 (41:14):
What about this random bag of limes?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
yeah, ben's like.
So we bring our groceries inand we buy a whole bunch of
fruit, you know lime, lemon,bananas, apples, oranges all

(41:37):
And he goes do we just?
Is this bag of limes trash?
It's an unopened, we just gotJust brought it in with the
groceries bag of limes.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I'm not used to seeing limes in our house, so I
was confused.
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
We don't have, we get limes if we're doing Mexican.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I just put it in the water.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
You just squeeze it and put it all over your tacos.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
See, I don't eat tacos like that.
If I eat tacos, it's eitherhomemade or Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
That's not a real taco.
That's dog meat encased in hardshells.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I don't get hard shells From home, oh man.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
So this episode today had absolutely no rhyme or
reason.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
No, no, it really didn't.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I hope everybody enjoys just sitting here
listening to us babble aboutabsolutely nothing.
Yep, it really has.
It's went all over the place.
I don't mind it though.
No, no, no, you're trulygetting a sense of what it's
like to sit at the table betweenme and John most of the time.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, pretty much yeah, this is how it goes.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Usually, if I'm sitting with them, I don't talk
as much yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
That's true too.
I think this is the most you'vetalked in any episodes,
probably.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, I think Brother Birdsong did it to him yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
How was it meeting Brother Birdsong Ben?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I didn't know how to take it honestly.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
Hey, I'm going to be honest with you.
Did you fangirl?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
No, I wish you could have seen him because he was
like the first night, mondaynight was the youth service.
If you're listening, brotherBirdsong, I didn't get a chance
to tell you this, but I thoughtit was hilarious.
So the first night everybody'skind of talking to each other,
it's Monday night.
You told him, I pointed him outto you, I was like, hey,
(43:35):
there's Brother Birdsong.
Speaker 2 (43:36):

No, no, he told me on the phone, he told you on the
phone, but he told Brother.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Devin.
Speaker 3 (43:49):

your hellos and everything likethat, and people were talking to
Brother.
So I kind of just pointed himout to Benjamin.
I was like hey, ben, there'sBrother Birdsong.
He's like really.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
I call him back and, uh, he picked up the phone.
He was so cool and he's likehey brother sean, how you doing?
I was like, well, I was doing alot better, knowing like before
I knew I hung up on a celebrity.
He was like, no, no, no, he is.
He is one of the most cool,down-to-earth guys that I think
I've ever met as far as likebeing up there, like it's like
(45:41):
one of my like top guys to likeaspire to be for sure, for sure
but you know, that's what it'sall about.
Man get a gal out, meet some newpeople and all that yeah, it
was.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
It was kind of cool.
But he was also pointing out big, big name preachers brother
Enix knows one of Benjamin'sfavorites, so he was like top
three there's brother enoch snowand uh, I've been talking to
brother enoch snow and uh,working on getting him to come
to the church for revival andand all that stuff.
So he's like he was likepointing out, so I was, he's
following me along and I wasintroducing him.
(46:14):
He got to talk to brother randywebb.
That was a that was a big deal.
You know and remember thosedays.
I remember those days as a youngkid and seeing preachers that I
knew growing up and I wouldlike look at them like man.
These guys are like celebrities.
These are the big-namepreachers.
You know, my sister and my dadtold Brother Randy Webb this,
(46:34):
which was absolutely hilariouswe were at I believe it was at
Strawberry Plains BrotherIngram's church and he was
having camp meeting and BrotherRandy Webb was preaching it and
they were in a hotel and BrotherRandy Webb was staying, was in
the hotel with my grandma wheremy grandma and grandpa were
staying, or however it workedout.
(46:55):
But my mom and dad picked up mysister from my grandparents and
she ended up in the elevatorwith Brother Randy Webb and she
was little at this time and shewas like petrified because
Brother Randy Webb is in theelevator with him.
And she come out like starstruck.
(47:16):
When she come out she said dad,I rode in the elevator with
brother Randy Webb and he talkedto me too, like it just
absolutely made her day.
I remember those days.
So it was.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
It was kind of cool being able to introduce Benjamin
to some of those people and andmeet new people myself it is
kind of neat to go from theexperience of like whether it's
a minister or a musician or asinger or something like in the
movement, or you know somebodywho does a podcast that you
listen to and you get to likework with them and be with them
(47:49):
and like kind of be like how inthe world did I get here?
You know you look back like Iwas thinking about, you know,
going to youth camp and stuff,and then, like last week, I was
like man, I'm playing guitarwith these guys.
As much as I wanted to do thatas a young person.
I'm really doing it now.
Or when you go to preach a campmeeting or a youth rally or
(48:12):
something, you're like man.
I remember when this pastorused to come and preach stuff
for us when we were young.
Now I'm preaching for them.
It's just so crazy to watchthat transition, like as you get
older and it is.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
It is really cool, it's.
It's neat.
The relationships that youforge and me being able to
recall how it was for me as akid and now being able to to
kind of push that with mychildren was it's.
It's just a neat experience.
But it's also neat to see thedifferences, because there's
individuals that I held at ahigh regard that obviously
(48:43):
aren't around anymore.
Yeah, and so then you're seeinga whole new generation come up,
well, our, our age, my age andand you know, and you're seeing
those individuals now travelingthe field full-time and all this
stuff.
And I'm watching my child lookat those individuals.
It's like man, I can't believethat I get to meet these people
so it is a really neatexperience.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
I didn't know how to take it at first when I I talked
to some people that I wouldn'tsay I grew up with.
But I talked to a brother, codyWhitaker, who was a mentor to
me when I was first learning howto play drums and that was
pretty mentor to me when I wasfirst learning how to play drums
and that was pretty big to me.
Talked to Brother Casey West,brother Randy Webb, brother
Devin, brother Timothy Lurito.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
There were some more, but it was a neat experience
getting to meet a bunch of thebig names, as we would say yeah,
it's a good thing to bebuilding up relationships and
watching the way how they growand perform, but you know we
couldn't do this withoutbuilding a relationship with our
listeners.
(49:49):
So I want to appreciateeverybody who has been tuning in
and following us today's kindof scattered, you know, but
hopefully you got some goodlittle laughs and some
entertainment here.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I think they've come to expect the scattered yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
We should have called it the ADHD show we should have
.
That definitely would probablybe more fun yeah.
Probably people here pull up tothe pew and they're like, oh,
these guys are just going to beserious and preach the whole
time.
Nope, oh yeah.
So anyways, thanks for tuningin.
Speaker 3 (50:17):

(00:31):
the summer days.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of being in two separate states
in two weeks.
Oh, oh really.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, we kind of rushed your summer.
This started summer, didn't we?
Yeah, oh, really, yeah, we kindof rushed your summer, the
start of summer didn't we?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, starting off in Indiana, which it was fun,
youth camp in Indiana this year,eastern Indiana, it was good,
it was really good, that wasawesome.
And then we get back Saturdayor Friday night late, friday
night, saturday morning,saturday morning.
And then staying home Saturdayand then leaving after church
(01:07):
Sunday morning for Oklahoma Well, technically Illinois.
So I could say three states intwo weeks, three states where
you actually stopped and visited.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Supposed to be four, but yeah, that one got cut short
.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, we had some things we had to take care of
and we wasn't able to stop inthe Tennessee like we wanted to.
My kids got a good dose of whatit's like to be on the road and
be busy.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now they're thinking God Dad's a pastor, not an
evangelist.
Yeah, how was Bristow for youguys?
It was awesome.
Yeah, lots of fun.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, got to see a lot of friends, got to make new
friends, new acquaintances.
It was a blast.
Preaching was tremendous.
Fellowship was tremendous.
It was fun.
Good Oklahoma weather, thethunderstorms, tornadoes and all
that stuff rain.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
About to blow you out of the state.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
huh, yeah, one night got a little hairy there for a
minute.
Tornadoes and all that stuff,Rain About to blow you out of
the state, huh yeah.
Yeah, One night got a littlehairy there for a minute, but it
kind of come in and went out asfast as it came in.
So that was all well and good.
Oklahoma gets a little harderto leave.
It's what I told those guys.
I said every time we come toOklahoma it gets a little harder
to leave the state, but we gota leash here in Cincinnati that
(02:27):
keeps us coming back.
Our church there.
We can't.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You better come back.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, we love our people, we love our church.
We don't want to.
That's what keeps bringing usback.
I mean family and all thatstuff too, but there's a church
there.
That just has got my heart.
I've got to come back.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Better you than me.
Well, you can't go nowhere.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Give me heart attacks when you're gone, of course as
soon as you leave, everypreacher in the nation has to
stop by I'm loving it, thoughI'm loving it so many preachers
are getting the word of thechurch and you know, because
there for a while we wasn'tgetting any visitors unless we
asked them right to come.
So I really do like and covid2020 kind of changed the
(03:15):
mentality of that.
You know, there was a, therewas a time where we had we had
visitors that wasn't nothing tohave visitors come in and then
covid hits.
And then there was like a yearafter COVID where it was like
preachers were asking do youmind if we just kind of pop in?
I think, man, that's kind of asad day that we live in, when
(03:36):
preachers are out on the roadand having to ask permission
just to come by.
But I get it.
There was so many differentpeople were looking at things so
many different ways and itseems like now you're you're
starting to see preachers, awhole, a whole different group
of preachers starting to comeout yeah and it's, it's
wonderful to me to see that kindof happen and then starting to
(03:59):
see them come back visit thechurch without you know, without
the schedule, just hey, we felt, felt like coming by and all
that stuff it was.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was pretty good yeah, covid changed the idea of
courtesy church courtesy yeah,in a sense it did all I know is,
uh, covid was a big setback fora lot of people.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, it was a time of I feel like it wasn't an
attack of the enemy, but it wassomething that the devil used to
separate churches from eachother.
Oh for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, it instilled a lot of fear.
So when we had Sunday, theSunday that we left, we left
right at altar call because wewent and seen Brother and Sister
Ten and they're in JonesboroIllinois and I had it down how
long it would be and I playedthe hour because we gained an
(04:50):
hour.
We pulled in to their church ahalf hour before service started
and we didn't stop and sit downto eat.
That was driving through, thatwas, you know, only stopping for
bare minimum gas and, and youknow, bathroom breaks, because
there's six people in a van andmy kids aren't used to the road
(05:11):
constant grind, you know.
So we we go into that whilewe're there.
That was the time that we justthat that we had a new couple
visit for the first time.
I don't know that they'd everbeen to Sharonville.
A new preacher couple come bythat morning and I hated it
because I'm like man, we werejust in youth camp.
(05:32):
I knew that we were going tohave the young people testify
and then I knew I was going outof town.
So I'm like I have to preach.
I'm not going to be there for acouple services.
So I felt like Sunday morningsI tend to preach anyway as the
pastor, but I knew going out oftown I felt like if I didn't it,
it was gonna.
It could have been a littlerough you know so, um, and they
(05:55):
were already scheduled so Icouldn't get them to come back
that night.
And then to find out thatanother missionary, uh, was in
town and he wanted to come bythe church so he could meet me,
and I wasn't even there you knowhe was gone it's.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's funny how all that works out, but I I'm very
thankful that the church isgetting out there and, you know,
being seen in a good light yeah, a lot of people are seeing our
instagram and our facebook andsome of the the reels and stuff
that we put on, and the liveitself is very important that a
lot of people seem to gravitatetowards and get to be in church
(06:32):
without being in church or getto visit a church that's so far
away.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, that was the weird thing about Bristow this
year to me, because we do theFacebook Live and we do that and
and I know especially there fora while, facebook live, live
video stuff like that that'ssomething you kind of have to
get used to and if, if you don't, if you don't want it I'm not
one of those ones it's like man,I can't believe that you're not
(06:58):
utilizing the tool and all thatstuff.
We started it because of ofcovid and then we I stopped it
for a while and then we had someindividuals about two years
after maybe 2022, 2023, thatwere basically locked in.
They couldn't go anywhere, thoseshut-ins, and so we started it
(07:18):
back up and that's really why Idid it.
I did it to be able to reachout to the ones that wasn't able
to make it to church serviceand we was able to give them the
links and then we tied it intoYouTube, which now we have the
YouTube live that we do in theyou know, but we put the link on
Facebook.
But it's just a.
It's a tremendous tool thatpeople's been able to see and
(07:42):
that's like, uh, I met somepeople in bristow that I hadn't
met or was introduced to me andstuff, and the one thing that I
found that was pretty funny wasthey were like man, we seen you
on instagram or we see onfacebook and all that stuff, and
it was all positive feedbackand yeah if you know me, I'm not
and I know I talk a lot on hereand if you met me at the church
(08:03):
or whatever, it's a.
it's a whole differentpersonality.
But I would much rather be inthe shadows.
I don't have to have thelimelight.
So being on that it's kind oflike it's out of my comfort zone
, but the Lord's using it for apositive light.
I'm very thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, for the most part it's pretty successful,
except for when Brother Jaredcomes up to me does a photo and
gets a close-up on purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, it's kind of like those funny news things
where they're doing the trafficcams or whatever and there's a
bird in the camera or a squirrelor something.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, except ours is Bigfoot and he's in the center
aisle.
So we've been talking aboutBigfoot here before.
If you want to see him, you cansee him on Facebook Live.
Yeah, we spot him every sooften, just because of the show
man you know, you got to getthat special appearance.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Word of the day.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Word of the day.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Brother Jonathan's not here.
Somebody's got to pick it upGot to have it in spirit.
So I was again.
I was going through the bigdictionary that I was given and
I found this word and let mepull it up.
I had it and then time went onmy phone.
I ran out of time, so let's seehere I'm probably going to
butcher the pronunciation.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's all right, you're my kid.
Welcome to the club, bud.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Anatodaphobia.
Anatodaphobia.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Anatodaphobia.
So it's a fear or something.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's probably nothing like what it sounds like as far
as a fear, Well, soarachnophobia is a fear of
spiders, yeah, so this word isthe irrational fear of being
watched by ducks.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Of being watched.
Watched by ducks Of beingwatched.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Watched by ducks, not Dutch.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Not.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Dutch duck walking Duck.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Wait, not duck watching, but being watched by
ducks being watched by ducks.
Oh, my word dude.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So it's not an actual phobia, it was.
It was, uh, come up by acartoonist by the name of gary
larson in 1998 in his comicseries of the far side, and he
came up with this word with acomic reference, like a comic
picture of someone, a man,sitting in his office and he
(10:25):
looks out the window and there'sa duck staring at him.
And so people came up withanadophobia, or however you
pronounce it, and that's now thefear of being watched by ducks.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Is that his kryptonite?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm not sure I haven't read the series.
I just looked up what theorigin of the word was.
What a crazy word.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, you know, what's hilarious about that is
when he said that and he tellsme the pronunciation, like I'm
picturing some little old ladyor old man sitting on a park
bench throwing bread out to theducks, and then one duck just
sitting there and just awkwardlystaring at them, and then
you're staring back at the duckand it's staring at you and then
all of a sudden that fear ofwhat's getting ready to happen I
(11:05):
can see.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
that Makes me think of the duck from Courage, the
Cowardly Dog.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I don't know anything about that one.
I also started singing the ducksong in my head.
Oh Lord.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And that is your word of the day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I can see that guy having what is it anatophobia?
Anatidophobia.
Anatidophobia.
Spe (11:31):
A-N-A-T-I-D-A-E-P-H-O-I-B-A .
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Anatid, anatidophobia , anatidophobia yeah, I would
say, if the duck walked up to alemonade stand and he's
constantly asking for grapes.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Got any grapes?
He's making you mad.
He's just giving the guy adeath stare.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Oh the quack.
And he waddled away.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Waddle, waddle Until the very next day, the ducks
that they're afraid of don'twaddle away.
They just stare at them.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Changed the song entirely, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
funny though that when you look up those words of
those phobias, they all saythey're never irrational and
they're never real phobias.
Yeah, they're never, uh, I meanthere are some like
arachnophobia.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
There are people that's legitimately terrified
yeah, but the phobia of verylong words is a phobia that's
not recognized.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But all of them start with an irrational yeah.
What causes the fear?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So in that term irrational, does it mean that
it's not?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
possible.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's not rational, well duh, so does it mean that
it surpasses somebody being ableto understand what it is?
Is that what makes itirrational, or that it's
unbelievable what they're?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
seeing is unbelievable.
I think it's irrational in thefact that you don't have any
reason to have that fear.
You just have it.
Like, for example, Ilegitimately have a fear of
heights, uh-huh, but I have noreason to have the fear of
heights because I've never beenhurt by falling from a high
altitude or I've never beenthere's, there's never been a
(13:16):
fear, there's never beenanything like, there's never
been anything that has broughtthat fear on.
I just have there's.
There's a legitimate uneasinessyeah, there's no rationale to
it whatsoever, but is the fearof heights?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
irrational, I but.
But here's the thing I guesswhen I, when I think of a
rational fear, is a fear that issomething that is completely
harmless.
Ducks are, for the most part,very harmless.
Heights are harmless, yeah, butI wouldn't say that that it's
irrational.
I would say that's a probablerational, always heart height,
(13:51):
good lord it's like dude.
It's the microphones, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
it does it to you heights aren't always um uh
harmless nobody's ever got hurtfrom heights.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They've got hurt by the fall yeah, but if you fall
from heights, fear of heights.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
If you fall from heights it hurts, okay, but
falling in general hurts I don't, I don't think, okay, if I fall
from a high spot and then Ihave a fear, it's a rational
fear.
No, yeah, it's rational.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
No, I don't think so.
I think knowing that somebodyhas fell off of some height of
some degree and has died isenough proof for me to say that
fear of heights is a rationalfear.
How?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
high.
Do you have to go to die from afall?
Well, I had an uncle.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
He fell off a roof at like 12 foot.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It all depends on how you land.
It's kind of like drowning youcan drown in like an inch of
water or what is it?
Two inches or something?
It doesn't have to be much.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But to give you an idea, they say by like people
that like commit suicide off ofskyscrapers and stuff.
They're dead before, beforebecause of the fear yeah, that's
their heart.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They have a heart attack before they hit.
The study says that they die ofa heart attack.
Their heart gives out.
But then, at the same time,there's people that survive the
fall off the golden gate bridgeand stuff to that nature so it's
a crazy little rabbit trailstory here we're used to that.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
As we say, this is the podcast of add there was a
man I want to say he's from newy, but I don't know how true
that is or not, but he's abusinessman.
He was in a high.
He owned this giganticskyscraper and as a stunt he
would run from his desk and hewould hit the glass on the side
of the skyscraper to show themjust how strong the glass was
that it would not break.
(15:40):
Well, he did it so many timesthat he loosened the glue that
held that piece of glass in.
The glass didn't shatter, yeah,yeah, Shatter.
He hit it and it came out ofplace.
The pain came out it came outof place and it fell with him
and he died.
Yeah, that glass was like.
(16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's why you got to .
There's always consequences toyour actions.
Yeah, but I don't I.
I look at it like this so wouldthat be an irrational fear I,
if you, if you look at it inthat aspect, then we should be
afraid of everything no, no yeah, people's.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
People's died in car accidents, yet I don't have a
fear of driving.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I have a fear of people hitting me, people's, but
I don't, because fear fear I.
I have a respect.
I look at it like that.
There's respect.
It's like this I work, or usedto, and I and I still do.
I am an electrician by trade.
I've got into some pretty highvoltages and I've done things
(16:44):
not bragging because I look backat it now and for lack of a
better term, it was absolutelystupid on my part.
I mean, I've messed with like540 live without even thinking,
just flipping wires and all thatstuff without even any thought
to this might kill me.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, if I touch this , it will kill me.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
One bad thing is going to blow up in my face, you
know, or kill me, because I hada respect.
I've got a respect for the factthat the guy next to me could
be wasted or not a very goodthing.
There's a nervousness, but tohave a fear of something that
has had absolutely nothing toharm me, I think is irrational.
(17:26):
There's nothing, because Icould be afraid of everything.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't know.
I think there's stuff that is100% to be.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
If somebody has a fear or something.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I don't think that it has to be a death-taking fear.
I mean, everybody has a time intheir life where they would get
up to a high point and they'relike, oh, if I fall I'm going to
die.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, you respect it though.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Or you get caught under the water in a wave or
something like an undercurrentor something.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
You're like, oh boy, I better get up and out of this.
Yeah, but that is a legitimatereason to have the fear because
you're caught in something oryou're pushing yourself past the
limits.
But for me, just to have a fearfor no absolute, there's no.
Nothing in my life has happenedfor me to have a fear of
heights.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I think to say I'm not talking about like so
irrational to me would mean thatthere's something that is
unfathomable for that fear,right.
That's kind of how I see it.
Just because I have a fear of aheight doesn't make it a phobia
, though, right.
A phobia would be that that itinterrupts my daily activities,
(18:40):
something that I think about too.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I don't think so.
I think it can.
I don't think it's that deep.
I think it is because I think aphobia is having that fear of
that thing at all times, likeyeah but.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But that's what I'm saying is that it interrupts
your daily activities, and I'mnot talking about just having a
rational fear when circumstancesarise.
I'm just talking like I thinkwhat they're saying as far as
like irrational is, it issomething that controls your
daily life.
When you're thinking aboutavoiding that.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So a phobia, from what I've heard and from what
I've seen, is basically like anextreme fear, like you're scared
of this like paralyzing yeah,like if, like you say, you're
scared of heights, there'ssomeone who has a phobia of
heights.
It's like they can't go over acertain height or else they're
gonna have a panic attack andpossibly hurt themselves out of
(19:35):
fear.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So phobia itself is extreme or irrational fear.
Phobia is the meaning ofirrational fear.
Yeah, irrational, not logicalor reasonable.
Right, there's no, there's norhyme or reason, I think we are
saying the same thing withoutsaying the same thing.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Look, my wife will tell me that I am stubborn.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
And she also says that you just like to argue.
And then when she says that Ialways respond with I don't like
to argue, and she says you'reliterally arguing about arguing.
So I have to say, say, but I'mnot anyway.
What was that?
(20:22):
Word again anatodaphobia I justwanted you to do that, because
I know I'm not always the onethat messes up the words.
He told me.
Benjamin told me that on ourchasing geese episode I called
them gooses.
You did you did.
I think you did it on purpose aswell yeah, I think you did, I
think it was knowing me, it wasprobably just me talking
(20:45):
normally and I didn't even thinkabout it, because I do not
remember calling them gooses youknow what you would have called
them.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
No, I would never have done that.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I can see me saying real quickly Gooses instead of
Geese.
I really can.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I mean, it is me Well , I'm saying, if you were going
to say it intentionally, youwould have said Goosen.
I didn't notice it as a joke.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I didn't notice it until I was listening to it with
volume all the way up and I waswalking around.
I don't know where I was.
My mom pointed out did Jonathanjust say gooses?
So I rewanted it.
I said no, that was dad.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Don't claim him.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I think it'd be more scary to say that she thought
you were John.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We'll have to have a talk about that one.
I still don't think Jonathanand I sound anything alike.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
No, I don't think you do either.
I don't know where that idea iscoming from, Because when I
edit I can clear it.
Maybe it's because I sit withyou guys every day, talking to
you every day, but I don't know.
I don't hear the difference.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm like there's nothing there that suggests a
closeness.
I listen to him every day so Ican tell the difference
instantly.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, he said that with a sigh, not just that, but
when Jonathan says it, I can seethe way he's saying it.
When he says it, he's very,very expressive guys.
We miss you, Jonathan.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Can't wait for you to come back to the show.

Brown, sponsored by Sean.
If you need help playing guitar, talk to Brother Sean Brumfield
.
Yeah Plug, his number is555-5555.
How did you get that number?
So a little side note on thatone.
(28:14):
You know there's a song that is8-6-7-5-3-0-9?
.
That's an old song.
That was a legit phone numberyeah it was like his ex yeah it
was his ex-girlfriend yeah yeah,that's so funny he sang a song
about it.
They had to change the number.
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, talk about another funny thing before we
get to your story.
Did you hear about this guy?
To get back at his, his ex, heput out flyers all across the
city that had her number on itand they were like trying out
for Chewbacca impressions.
You know, leave it in ourvoicemail.
And like this lady came on thenews and she was like there's
(28:51):
nothing but people going every,every single voicemail.
Was somebody giving their bestimpression you want to talk
about?
Speaker 3 (28:58):

Hey, I wish I thought ofsomething like that.
I've never had that smart of anidea until afterwards when
somebody else thinks about it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I'm like oh man, that would be great.
Next time Becca makes you mad,make a fake Javaka post.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I won't do that to my wife because, hey, I will tell
you what she does.
She starts researching stuffand she got to the point to
where she didn't.
Because everything today, ifyou look at anything online and
you're just researchingsomething, to get that little
bit of info that you're lookingfor, you have to give a phone
number.
I don't know why.
(29:37):
I do know why because they'retracking you down.
But she never gave her phonenumber.
I would get random, I'd getreal estate agents, I was
getting insurance people.
I was getting home, uh,refinance people, and I'm like,
yeah, so we were just callingyou in response to your wanting
more information.
I'm like I didn't ask for moreinformation.

Yeah, that's the thing.
I just looked it up but Icouldn't get the information.
They wanted a phone number, soI just gave them yours.
So I was like I mean, one timeI had some real estate agents
like so what are you looking forin a house?
I'm like I'm living in a house.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
What are you talking?
Speaker 3 (30:18):

Speaker 1 (30:20):
The one I'm living in .
That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
So don't give your phone number away to random
people.
It's no fun.
Or give away random people'sphone numbers, okay, so anyway,
funny news story Now that we'reoff of that goose trail, june
5th.
This is off of I'm getting thisoff of uh upicom and it says
this wild elephant wanders ininto store in search of sweet
(30:48):
treats.
So a wild elephant wanders outof a national park in Thailand
to visit a grocery store wherethe peckish pachyderm feasted on
eggs and sweet treats.
This elephant is well known tothe locals.
It's one that's known for kindof stepping out of the national
(31:09):
park, but it's never made it allthe way into the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
So the 27-year-old elephant named Playbeing Lick is
well known for his frequenttreks out of the KOY National
Park in search of snacks.
Residents say that he can oftenbe seen walking past a corner
store a little over half a milefrom the park entrance gate, but
on Monday he made what isbelieved to be his first visit
(31:36):
to the store's interior.
Could you imagine what it wouldbe like to just be sitting
there and all of a sudden, thiselephant comes walking inside
your store?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I would love it.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Would you really?
Yeah, I'd be freaking out.
So the elephant feasted on it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That would bring more people in, because they'd want
to see the elephant in the storeprobably.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
They might be buying treats.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I don't know.
Wild elephants are crazy.
Sometimes you never know whatthey're going to do, and those
things are huge.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
What's the name of the elephant?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
It's like Ply being Lick.
Is it a boy or girl?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
elephant it doesn't say His.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, so it's a boy.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yep, that's a hard.
No Bull elephants are a no.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So the elephant feasted on eggs, dried bananas,
a sandwich and nine bags ofsweet rice crackers before Park
Rangers arrived.
Eggs To usher him out of thebusiness.
Eggs, dried bananas, a sandwichit doesn't say what sandwich,
but a sandwich I've never heard.
I don't.
Are they omnivores?
(32:33):
I've never researched, I don'tknow if it's like regular eggs,
eggs, if it's like sweet eggs,because they kept saying sweet
treats.
I want to know what thesandwich was.
Yeah, and then sweet ricecrackers.
Um, before the park rangersarrived.
Here's the funny thing membersof the ko yay elephant lovers
(32:54):
group donated about 25 to thestore to pay for this elephant's
snacks.
So his bill got paid and he gota sweet treat.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
It would have to be eggs, sweet eggs, because they
don't eat eggs.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
And just in case anybody was concerned that's
listening to this story, thestore owner said he was not
angry at the elephant, as theanimal must have been hungry
must have been.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh wow, I couldn't imagine why.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, for real just busting down the doors and it
must have been reese eggs, man,I'd be breaking into a grocery
store with some reese eggs, yeahno what, I'm not a fan of
reese's the best reese thing outthere is the reese eggs or the
I'd be breaking into a grocerystore with some Reese eggs.
Yeah, no, what?
I'm not a fan of Reese's.
The best Reese thing out thereis the Reese eggs or the
(33:50):
Christmas trees, the.
Christmas trees are good, Idon't know.
My mom got me a one pound Reesebunny.
I ate that thing in one sittingdude.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
That guy was gone, yeah.
So I'm not one that likes thereal thick Reese's, but I love
the eggs and I love the trees.
But my favorite Reese's snackif I'm just getting something
just for a little bit of thesweetness is the Thins.
I love the Thins man.
I could pop them things all daylong.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I will say I'll eat them.
If I need or I just want asnack and they're the only thing
there, I'll eat them.
But it's kind of like BrotherJonathan and Waffle House.
They're tolerable.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, and edible, yeah.
My favorite are the Reese'smini cups Like you find at
Easter time.
Those are the best.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Like Christmas and stuff.
The ones that I liked it was ithad like gooey chocolate in it,
and the ones that I liked ithad like gooey chocolate in it,
and that was the one that Iliked.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Did you see that they had a peanut butter and jelly
Reese's?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
No, I don't think I'd like it Ew.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Oh, I wanted to try it.
So bad.
But I can't find no place thatsells it.
And the one place that I didfind that sold it was sold out.
One had grape jelly, one hadstrawberry jelly and it was
peanut butter and chocolate.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I love peanut butter and chocolate.
I I love peanut butter andjelly, but I don't think I like
peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
I don't know how I feel about with chocolate.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, I don't think I could do that I could eat
peanut butter and jelly all dayoh, I would try it in a
heartbeat, just to do.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
I would try it as a try it, but I don't think that I
would.
I would not try it and be happywith it.
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That makes sense they're doing a ton of stuff
with reese, though my favoriteReese's is.
I believe I'm looking at itright now.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Don't say pieces, because those are the worst
Reese's, oh I love Reese'spieces, but they're not.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
They're not delicious .
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'll tell you that he was so disappointed he had to
look at the wall.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
You have to eat them you have to eat them by the
handful.
I love Reese's pieces, but tome, reese's Pieces is one of
those things when I'm drivingand I have like I just want to
chew on something.
I could buy a bag of them and Ican just hammer them down like
M&M's.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
If I'm going to do that, I'm going to get M&M's or
Skittles.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yeah, I get Skittles 75% of the time.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, skittles, I eat the whole bag at once.
And then I've got this big globof something that I'm chewing
on.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Reese's outrageous what is that?
The bar?
Speaker 3 (36:03):
it's a bar, the wafer bar no, it's not a wafer bar,
it is the nougat, because youknow they have the fast break,
which is really good.
Yeah, so it's it's not nougat,but it's the reese's, it's the
like a twix it's like the peanutthe peanut butter.
It's got Reese's Piecesscattered through it, so you get
the crunch of the shell of theReese's Pieces.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
That's disgusting.
He had to look at the wallagain and caramel Dude.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
It is amazing though.
Oh yeah, it is amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
I just don't like Reese's Pieces man.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
That's just not good.
Yeah, peanut butter.
I don't want crunch in mypeanut butter I don't get.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
It's like crunchy peanut butter?
Speaker 3 (36:43):
no, no, it's not not when you're eating it in a candy
bar.
Yeah, it kind of is no I don'tlike crunchy peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I just rather have it smooth.
You ever, did you ever get thereese's cup with the potato
chips in it?
What, what?
Yeah, you didn't.
You guys haven't seen thateither.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
When was that that Not too long ago?
I don't know that you can stillbuy them.
I think I would like that.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Awesome.
They also made them with thepretzel, and that's not to take
five.
There's a difference.
But they made the peanut buttercups with the pretzel in it or
with the potato chips in it.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I didn't care for the pretzel one, but the potato
chips one was I will say thisgrowing up, mom would like leave
the brownie butter out and wewould dip our potato chips in
that yeah, that's good, so good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'm not a sweet salty person, but but for whatever
reason that stuff is.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I like that I, I like it a lot like that.
That.
I like the sweet, I like thesalty, like dipping your fry in
a frosty.
Oh, oh, I love that too.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Used to.
I used to love the old schoolWendy's fries and Frosties.
They were made for it.
They was like potato spoons forthe chocolate Frosty.
But the new fries are horrible.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I like their new fries because they're more salty
.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Their new fries are good to eat by themselves, but
they're horrible to dip inFrosties.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
See, I never got into that.
So I didn't like theRolls-Royce.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Yeah, because that was way back before your time,
that was before me and your momwas married Still.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
It's been a long time ago.
It's been around since like the50s, though, Ben.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
People dipping their fries in ice cream.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Yeah, I mean I've done it before, I just never
caught onto it.
It's never been thatinteresting to me.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
I also have a hard time with the hot and cold
contrast at the same time.
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
See, I'm the opposite , Like if I'm going to get some
sweet tea and it's nice andfresh.
I like getting that on thebottom, where it's like that
lukewarm.
You get kind of cold, a littlebit of warm at the same time Hot
.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
I like it hot or I like it cold.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
See, I think if it's cold it doesn't have as much
flavor it does.
Oh, it definitely does.
Some of the ones that I've had,they didn't have as much flavor
when they were cold to hot.
It depends on where you get itand who makes it.
Well, it's when my grandma madeit.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Oh Well, I think Really and get it to the way I
want it to taste.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Yeah, I don't like overly sweet tea.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I like McDonald's sweet tea At one time, that's
overly sweet tea.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
At one time McDonald's put so much sugar in
their tea that you could chew it.
I remember that because I gotit one time.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I got a large and I couldn't go to remember that
night too, like daffy duck dude,I, I love, I want it so sweet
you can pour it over your, yourpancakes.
You're not mark lowry, I know,but he made the best description
for that nah, that's too much,man, but that's only if you run
(39:33):
out of syrup.
Yeah, but I mean I like it niceand sweet.
I I don't know, I just don'tlike.
Now, if I'm having it hot, Idon't want it sweet.
I'll put honey in it to help.
But like as far as like puttingsugar in there.
I don't like putting sugar inmine.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
So are you a chamomile tea person?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
No, I like black tea.
That's the only tea I'll drink.
Yeah, green tea makes me usethe bathroom too much, gotta
stick with the black.

I drink black tea.
Earl Grey is one of my favoriteones.
Speaker 1 (40:09):

Yeah, give me that sweet tea, put six pounds of
sugar in it, mix that puppy up.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
I'd rather have unsweetened tea, but I have got

the one that we had at Bristow,that wasn't bad.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Yeah, yeah, he thought he was getting sweet tea
and it was unsweetened.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
It was unsweetened, but I couldn't tell a difference
until like day two.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It didn't taste bad, it was good, it was really good.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, the food there was really good too.

We don't have, we get limes if we're doing Mexican.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I just put it in the water.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
You just squeeze it and put it all over your tacos.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
See, I don't eat tacos like that.
If I eat tacos, it's eitherhomemade or Taco Bell.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
That's not a real taco.
That's dog meat encased in hardshells.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I don't get hard shells From home, oh man.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
So this episode today had absolutely no rhyme or
reason.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
No, no, it really didn't.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I hope everybody enjoys just sitting here
listening to us babble aboutabsolutely nothing.
Yep, it really has.
It's went all over the place.
I don't mind it though.
No, no, no, you're trulygetting a sense of what it's
like to sit at the table betweenme and John most of the time.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Yeah, pretty much yeah, this is how it goes.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Usually, if I'm sitting with them, I don't talk
as much yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
That's true too.
I think this is the most you'vetalked in any episodes,
probably.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, I think Brother Birdsong did it to him yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
How was it meeting Brother Birdsong Ben?
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I didn't know how to take it honestly.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
Hey, I'm going to be honest with you.
Did you fangirl?
Speaker 3 (43:12):
No, I wish you could have seen him because he was
like the first night, mondaynight was the youth service.
If you're listening, brotherBirdsong, I didn't get a chance
to tell you this, but I thoughtit was hilarious.
So the first night everybody'skind of talking to each other,
it's Monday night.
You told him, I pointed him outto you, I was like, hey,
(43:35):
there's Brother Birdsong.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
You told him what I did.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Oh, did I.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, I can't remember On the phone.
Yeah, I'm old.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
It wasn't on the phone.
No, I talked to him Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
No, no, he told me on the phone, he told you on the
phone, but he told Brother.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Devin.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
So it was hilarious, because you're kind of saying
your hellos and everything likethat, and people were talking to
Brother.
So I kind of just pointed himout to Benjamin.
I was like hey, ben, there'sBrother Birdsong.
He's like really.
And I was like, yeah, he goes,are you going to go talk to him?
It looks like he's got a lot ofpeople.
He'll be here in the morning.
We'll probably talk to him inthe morning.
Like we're sitting in line atthe fellowship hall Monday night
(44:10):
and Brother Birdsong comes inafter us and Benjamin's like,
hey look, I spotted.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
We're walking New York City and there's a random
celebrity.
It's Trump Dad.
Yeah, it was hilarious, it'sthe.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Trump of podcasts.
I think it's funny.
So now you know where you sit.
Brother Birdsong with my boy.
He definitely looks at you likea celebrity.
So, I did tell him that youlisten to his podcast nonstop.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
So, Ben, I've not met Brother Birdsong, but he's
Uh-oh, you were.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Oh yeah, I have Never mind, I take that back.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I lied, I'm sorry, I told you I lied, you did.
I'm a big liar, okay, I met himbefore the podcast at Men of
Faith.
But we didn't.
That's before we even.
Yeah, so before we started thepodcast, and uh, like he called
me one day and I didn'trecognize the number, so I hung
(45:07):
up and then I looked at, Ilistened to the voicemail and he
goes hey brother Sean, this isbrother David Bird song.
I didn't even listen to therest of the voicemail.
Speaker 4 (45:17):
I was like call this guy back.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
I call him back and, uh, he picked up the phone.
He was so cool and he's likehey brother sean, how you doing?
I was like, well, I was doing alot better, knowing like before
I knew I hung up on a celebrity.
He was like, no, no, no, he is.
He is one of the most cool,down-to-earth guys that I think
I've ever met as far as likebeing up there, like it's like
(45:41):
one of my like top guys to likeaspire to be for sure, for sure
but you know, that's what it'sall about.
Man get a gal out, meet some newpeople and all that yeah, it
was.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
It was kind of cool.
But he was also pointing out big, big name preachers brother
Enix knows one of Benjamin'sfavorites, so he was like top
three there's brother enoch snowand uh, I've been talking to
brother enoch snow and uh,working on getting him to come
to the church for revival andand all that stuff.
So he's like he was likepointing out, so I was, he's
following me along and I wasintroducing him.
(46:14):
He got to talk to brother randywebb.
That was a that was a big deal.
You know and remember thosedays.
I remember those days as a youngkid and seeing preachers that I
knew growing up and I wouldlike look at them like man.
These guys are like celebrities.
These are the big-namepreachers.
You know, my sister and my dadtold Brother Randy Webb this,
(46:34):
which was absolutely hilariouswe were at I believe it was at
Strawberry Plains BrotherIngram's church and he was
having camp meeting and BrotherRandy Webb was preaching it and
they were in a hotel and BrotherRandy Webb was staying, was in
the hotel with my grandma wheremy grandma and grandpa were
staying, or however it workedout.
(46:55):
But my mom and dad picked up mysister from my grandparents and
she ended up in the elevatorwith Brother Randy Webb and she
was little at this time and shewas like petrified because
Brother Randy Webb is in theelevator with him.
And she come out like starstruck.
(47:16):
When she come out she said dad,I rode in the elevator with
brother Randy Webb and he talkedto me too, like it just
absolutely made her day.
I remember those days.
So it was.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
It was kind of cool being able to introduce Benjamin
to some of those people and andmeet new people myself it is
kind of neat to go from theexperience of like whether it's
a minister or a musician or asinger or something like in the
movement, or you know somebodywho does a podcast that you
listen to and you get to likework with them and be with them
(47:49):
and like kind of be like how inthe world did I get here?
You know you look back like Iwas thinking about, you know,
going to youth camp and stuff,and then, like last week, I was
like man, I'm playing guitarwith these guys.
As much as I wanted to do thatas a young person.
I'm really doing it now.
Or when you go to preach a campmeeting or a youth rally or
(48:12):
something, you're like man.
I remember when this pastorused to come and preach stuff
for us when we were young.
Now I'm preaching for them.
It's just so crazy to watchthat transition, like as you get
older and it is.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
It is really cool, it's.
It's neat.
The relationships that youforge and me being able to
recall how it was for me as akid and now being able to to
kind of push that with mychildren was it's.
It's just a neat experience.
But it's also neat to see thedifferences, because there's
individuals that I held at ahigh regard that obviously
(48:43):
aren't around anymore.
Yeah, and so then you're seeinga whole new generation come up,
well, our, our age, my age andand you know, and you're seeing
those individuals now travelingthe field full-time and all this
stuff.
And I'm watching my child lookat those individuals.
It's like man, I can't believethat I get to meet these people
so it is a really neatexperience.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
I didn't know how to take it at first when I I talked
to some people that I wouldn'tsay I grew up with.
But I talked to a brother, codyWhitaker, who was a mentor to
me when I was first learning howto play drums and that was
pretty mentor to me when I wasfirst learning how to play drums
and that was pretty big to me.
Talked to Brother Casey West,brother Randy Webb, brother
Devin, brother Timothy Lurito.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
There were some more, but it was a neat experience
getting to meet a bunch of thebig names, as we would say yeah,
it's a good thing to bebuilding up relationships and
watching the way how they growand perform, but you know we
couldn't do this withoutbuilding a relationship with our
listeners.
(49:49):
So I want to appreciateeverybody who has been tuning in
and following us today's kindof scattered, you know, but
hopefully you got some goodlittle laughs and some
entertainment here.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I think they've come to expect the scattered yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
We should have called it the ADHD show we should have
.
That definitely would probablybe more fun yeah.
Probably people here pull up tothe pew and they're like, oh,
these guys are just going to beserious and preach the whole
time.
Nope, oh yeah.
