Speaker 3 (03:05):

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Wherever you want to go with it.
I'm leaving it up to you.
You're our guest.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I've just been hunting.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hunting okay, you getting anything Dude neither
one of us you know the answer.
I guess you've seen deer huh,yeah, carter's the only one with
a deer.
Two of them, two of them.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
A few.
I'm not happy about it, just agood three days.
Out of my tree stands.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Nonetheless, yeah, both of them.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Both of them.
But when you got noresponsibilities in your life,
it's easy to.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Not for much longer.
Not for much longer not formuch longer.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
There you go, okay, let's do that.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Good, no, okay okay but no, the main thing I've been
doing is getting ready forMason's transplant.
He he had nine appointmentslast week.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yo which was quite the experience.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
yeah, All in St.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Louis.
All in St Louis.
Yeah, split over two days, sothat was made for a long day
because you got two hour drive,Then you do like six hours there
and then two hour back.
It's a full work day.
Um and he had blood work, whichis a.
That's a nightmare to watchyour five month old just get
(04:33):
stabbed with a needle.
Yeah, Um, but yeah, I mean it'sgoing to be the assuming we get
the donor the first of thatsurgery ever done in St Louis,
so we're not real nervous oranything.
Pretty good, assuming we getthe donor the first of that
surgery ever done in st louis,so we're not real nervous or
anything pretty good no yeah,we're all pretty sane.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I mean, I think most people that are aware of
the situation would understand,I guess, the feeling somewhat,
um, it's not one that you canrecreate in your head.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And try to put yourself in.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, it's a weird one and even I don't know if you
have kids.
You can somewhat imagine it.
It's just, even we knew beforehe was born he was going to have
some.
He had a heart issue.
But then you start getting intothe deep parts of it and you
(05:31):
start looking at the long term,like they were talking about all
the things we got to be carefulof when he's on his medicines
for that transplant and you'relike, whew, it's a lot deeper
and it's a lot longer processthan we thought.
So yeah it's all good.
We're blessed to be so close toSt Louis and they've got
(05:51):
incredible doctors.
All the prayers have meant alot to us too, so, yeah, been a
lot of fun, good year.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
What's wrong with me?
Probably a lot of things, Betamainly.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Beta.
Yeah Well, so Okay Well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So, okay, okay, all right.
Well, we'll get into a littlebit of Bible talk.
I guess A little bit of Bibletalk, you got something.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, okay, you got something.
Yeah, all right, ray, you gotsomething, nope.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Okay, so we're in Matthew 10.
This chapter is where Jesussends out the 12 disciples, not
something that I I hope I'm notkind of overlapping with
something that you had CarterCarter here, but before I guess,
just to start, jesus sends outhis disciples and gives them the
(21:01):
ability to heal, cast outdemons and do all these things
that Jesus has been doing forpeople.
Which just that part alone is.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, that was my one thing, oh really, how freaking
cool was that man?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, go ahead, I don't want to steal your thunder
.
No, that was my one thing.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh really, how freaking cool, was that man?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, go ahead, I don't want to steal your thunder
.
No, that was about it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
It would be sick.
But would you be kind ofnervous, be like, oh yeah, like
I don't want to screw this up,like he told me not to go here
and here.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And get these people looks at me, knocked my dust off
my sandals.
Yeah, Like, all right, let's go.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
That'd be sick, though, which I would, so I
would almost not believe it atfirst.
Yeah, like because we've talkedabout them, even seeing Jesus
perform these miracles and evenstill somewhat doubting, like is
he actually doing what we seehim doing?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But now he says we can do those things like
seriously would it be hard tostay humble.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He'd be like I've got the freaking power, oh yeah I
bet after, like you, do it acouple times yeah like watch
this.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Oh, but it'd be I'd be, scared.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'd be scared probably, oh I'd be yeah, but
then after a few I'd be like I'dbe scared probably.
Oh, I'd be yeah, but then aftera few I'd be like, hey brother,
it's going to be all right, butI don't know.
I don't know what I'd really belike.
I'm just kind of thinking herebecause I can't really imagine
that.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Right, that's not even in our yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It'd be cool, I think .
Yeah, it would be power, theyneed some responsibility, which
I don't have.
I probably won't get the power.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, guess that's a way of looking at it, huh.
So did you have anythingspecific about that?
I didn't mean to Nope you goahead.
I was really hoping that wasn'twhat you had, because I just
wanted to highlight how kind ofcool it was, I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, so sick.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I thought it's interesting part.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Let me find it and read a little real quick.
Do not get any gold or silveror copper to take with you and
your belts.
No bag for the journey or extrashirt or sandals or a staff for
the worker is worth his keep.
Um, that is crazy to me becauseit's like oh, that was right
(23:19):
into the mic.
Um, like I, I pack like crazyon trips.
It's like so you've got yourhair.
That's kind of embarrassing getout of here like you can.
You know how you have that mewith shoes.
It's an embarrassing amount fora man to pack on a trip, so I
(23:43):
can't imagine being sent outlike that and told not to bring
anything.
But once again, like you'resaying, you've been given so
much power.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It's still hard to imagine, though, yeah, and
you've been given so much power,it's still hard to imagine
though, yeah, and then at thatpoint, like I imagine Jesus was
like hey, I think in the Chosenthe show, he like says okay,
you're going to go here, you twoare going to go there.
(24:12):
I don't know if that's whatactually happened, but I imagine
he gave some kind of direction.
But then also to be like howmany of those disciples have
been away from where Jesus issending them, I guess, and just
being like, okay, I'm going togo to this strange place and
trust that someone's going tolet me sleep in their house and
feed me, did you guys see?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
The Chosen was in Controversy.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Mm-mm.
Was this for the camera crew?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
stuff.
No, I don't believe so.
It was something like they'rejust not following the Bible
anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Really Well.
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I meant to send that to you guys the other day.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh dang.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I mean you guys can go on, I guess, and all that.
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
How would they know?
Search for some worthy personthere and stay at his house
until you leave Right Worthy?
Yeah, I don't know.
That's kind of like I assume Idon't know.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
God's doing his work right, that's kind of how I take
it I don't know um, excuse me,sorry, excuse me sorry.
Yeah, I would imagine God hashis hand in all of it, and I
(25:45):
guess Jesus knows where they'regoing, and so you know, I don't
know.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, it would be kind of strange, something kind
of crazy that I think about.
It says if the home is, oh,wait, wait, wait, whoa, if
anyone will not welcome you orlisten to your words, shake the
dust off your feet when youleave that home or town.
I tell you the truth I will bemore bearable for Sodom and
(26:17):
Gomorrah on the day of judgmentthan that town.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So that was one that I pulled up.
I kind of marked it wasn't likethe main thing but like we
remember, I guess, from the OldTestament, what happened to
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like it just ceased to exist, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
And that will be better than what those people
will face.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, not welcoming Like.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I don't know.
Think of it as I'm sure youwould know, just that this is
one of God's people that's doingmiracles.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But think of it as like some person coming into
Linville like, hey, can I stayat your house?
Yeah, sure, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That'd be weird.
Yeah, it would.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It'd just be hard to trust, but I hope you would,
because if you don't?
There's some trouble.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, that was one part that really stuck out to me
reading through Matthew 10, wasjust that that it'd be more
bearable to be in Sodom andGomorrah.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, how terrible that was.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And yeah, but also a little bit before that, it says
freely, you have received,freely give.
It's like well, it seems prettyplain, but like we we said
earlier, like now, you feel likeyou're you're kind of a big
shot with this power like yeahall right, so like it would be
hard, like even just as likehuman nature, I think we're a
little greedy, like, okay, likeI'll heal him, but I can also
(27:47):
maybe fix that too like yeah,yeah you know, like what, what
do you got for me?
You know, like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, it would be strange just to, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I think it would be pretty like cool, I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I but just to like automatically get it yeah.
It's like I didn't do anythingfor this.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm following Jesus, but yeah, and thinking back to
our last conversation was likegiving, I think I bet the
disciples just the feeling ofhealing people and casting out
demons and probably seeing theirreaction was enough to keep
them like, okay, this is good.
(28:33):
This is for God and I don'tneed anything from it.
Just to see these reactions andpeople being healed and
families feeling better andbeing able to not worry about
those things.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I feel like that's kind of how it's described.
They said let's see, go ratherto the lost sheep of Israelrael.
So I kind of look at is like,go, herd these stray sheep, yeah
, which is what we should bedoing as christians.
So it's kind of a look at likelike that, where we should be
(29:10):
reaching out to these peoplethat are kind of lost and
showing them God's glory, thegift.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, I don't know why, but I just kind of pictured
maybe the sheep not being lostbut just being in one place not
knowing where to go.
I guess that's kind of beinglost, but not completely
separate, just not knowing theright path to be with the other
sheep.
(29:38):
Yeah, that, yeah, I don't knowso kind of like lost yeah you're
right, you're right, yeah, yeahum so that's about all I had.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's what I got out of 10.
Yeah, I'm sure there's more toit, but that's just what popped
out to me.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Seems like we had similar thoughts.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, brady, did you have something you wanted to
chime in?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
No, you guys are killing it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
No, we're actually killing the podcast.
Yeah, literally.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
The controversy, though, was in a scene they
released for the upcoming season.
In a scene they released forthe upcoming season, judas and
Jesus are talking, and Jesussays to Judas that he'll pray
for him, for his decision comingup, about whether to betray him
or not, and people are talkingabout how that's not what would
(30:33):
have happened at all, andbecause if Jesus prayed for him
to, uh, not betray him, thennone of us would be forgiven,
and so I don't know.
You have to look into it onyour own, do?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
your own research.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
But I thought that was interesting and it shows
that while shows are enjoyableand movies and whatever, it's
always just better to get itstraight from the Bible.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, Because why it's the word of the Lord and we
can trust it to be true rightthere you go there, you go, go
on.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What was that?
Isn't that what your dad says?
Or is that what Harold says?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Harold.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I forgot about that.
All right, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This just popped in my head.
Have you guys seen how PhilRobertson has been doing?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Kind of I saw Alzheimer's.
Yeah, I saw, I guess he's gotsome other like blood disease or
something too.
Yeah, that doesn't help.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, that's pretty sad.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I always thought though because I think we had a
conversation before, I don'tknow if we talked about it on
here but especially afterstarting to go to church with
you guys, one thing, one thingfor me that kind of changed my
perspective on it, anyways, wasdeath and losing people, and
(32:12):
phil, in one of his, one oftheir episodes, said when I die
I don't know if you guys seen hesays when I die, don't be sad
like there's no better place forme to be than after I die yeah,
I did see that um, which is Ilike?
he's probably just so wise, andknowledgeable.
(32:37):
Yeah, just so much closer toGod.
But yeah, I just thought thatwas an interesting outlook on
things.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, he's also 78, so.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I thought he was older than that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He looks older.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Isn't that crazy.
He seems older than that, liveda full life.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, all right, well , I'll get back to.
Sorry for the.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, you're good, brother, shoot off there.
I like a little shoot off.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
The part that I think offshoot maybe.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, you're right, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I could have let it go, I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But that's why you're here, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You know, that's why we need you.
That's why we need you, you'reso back.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Back every six months .
So back, no.
But the little bit that Ipicked out or that stuck out to
me was the theme of not fearing,and in 26 through 33, a couple
(33:47):
times he's telling them whatit's going to be like don't be
afraid.
All this stuff, and it made methink of just how many times
Jesus says fear not or do not beafraid, and not just Jesus, but
(34:11):
in how many times it's said inthe Bible.
And then I thought back.
I think your dad included in asermon one time that fear not or
do not be afraid is the mostrepeated phrase in the entire
Bible.
And I'm not going to say Icounted it because I didn't, but
the Internet said that it issaid in the Bible 300 to 350
(34:37):
times, which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
But he's telling them all this stuff and it makes you
just think of the saying thefaith over fear and putting that
in front of fear, and fear isjust something that's.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Natural.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Right Normal to all of us.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
yeah, I think fear drives a lot of our decisions I
think, with this power thatthey're given I don't know if
it's called a power or whatever-yeah um, they would have had to
have thought, okay, there'speople out there that don't like
it, right, and I might have todie for this.
(35:26):
Yeah, so maybe that's the faithover fear, just like.
All right, we're going to do itas best as we can for as long
as we can, but in the end we'reprobably going to be put to
death for it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
So that would be tough, but I mean that's also
what they did following Jesus.
I mean quit everything.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I guess maybe I should read it for anyone just
listening.
So 26 through 33.
So do not be afraid of them,for there is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed orhidden that will not be made
known what.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I took a drink of my drink and he thought that was
funny.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
No, I was doing the face from Rick and Morty, okay.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Okay, all right, that's on us.
Well, not us, that's on him.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I tell you in the dark speak in the daylight.
I'm sorry, what I tell you inthe dark?
Speak in the daylight.
What is whispered in your earproclaim from the roofs Do not
be afraid of those who kill thebody but cannot kill the soul.
Rather be afraid of the one whocan destroy both soul and body
in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for apenny?
(36:53):
Verse 2.
Whoever acknowledges me beforeothers, I will also acknowledge
before my father in heaven.
But whoever disowns me beforeothers, I will disown before my
father in heaven.
and Judas no um, which is alittle scary to begin with, but
(37:17):
also pretty comforting.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah, exciting.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I just want to go tell everybody which I should.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Let's go do it Trick or treat.
Here's the Lord.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
That should be the new saying.
But yeah, I just thought thatthat was so.
Then I was just like, well,what other verses can we look at
that have the same message?
And I had a couple picked outhere.
The first one was Isaiah 41, 10.
So do not fear, for I am withyou.
(37:53):
Do not be dismayed, for I amGod, or I am your God.
I will strengthen you and helpyou.
I will uphold you with manyrighteous.
I cannot read I will uphold youwith my righteous hand, and
it's just God saying that he'sobviously with us and there for
strength and help.
And then the other one, andthen the other one was Psalm 56,
(38:20):
3 and 4.
When I am afraid, I put mytrust in you, in God, whose word
I praise.
In God I trust and am notafraid.
What can mere morals do to me?
And I think that just kind ofreiterates the point that Jesus
(38:40):
says, like sure, someone couldkill you, but they're killing
your body, not your flesh or notyour soul, and that belongs to
God and only he can do that.
Yeah, I don't know, I thinkthat kind of just a little bit
(39:05):
comforting.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, I think that's a pretty popular verse, isn't it
?
I feel like I've heard thatbefore.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Well, I've definitely heard it before.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I think, if I before Probably.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Well, I've definitely heard it before, but yeah, I
think, if I know, Shoot yeah.
So that's what I like thatsaying.
I guess it's kind of turnedinto I don't want to say like
cliche, because it's a biblicalthing, but like the faith over
fear, Mm-hmm.
But it gets slapped on a lot ofshirts and stuff like that now,
but it's obviously like apretty important message.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, it would be tough.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, you think of like someone murdering you for
your faith, yeah, and that wouldbe like literally the worst
time to back down and be like ohno no, no, I'm joking, yeah,
and that'd be like literally theworst time to back down and be
like, oh, no, no, no, yeah, I'mjoking, yeah, and that's that
kind of goes to the point oflike Jesus and the disciples
after Jesus was crucified, likepeople don't choose to die on
(40:16):
based on a lie.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Like, yeah, yeah, that's right, choose to die
based on a lie.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, I think that's just one of those things that we
look at as Proof.
Yeah, in what we're reading,Yep, I agree.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Now on to Brady's hot take.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, we need one.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
I don't have one prepared, yeah.
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
You're also my guest for the new segment, carter's
Karaoke Yep, so you have to singyour favorite Christian song.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Okay, so Carter's karaoke is really hitting the
mark.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
We're two for two here.
Has anybody done it?
No, no.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
It was me and you.
Yeah, it was two people, ohyeah.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Carter's resume.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Carter had his shot last episode and just mouth open
drooling to get something hot,yep.
That's just him.
Every day, though, yeah Shoot.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
What.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Shoot.
Oh, what do you think I said I?
Speaker 3 (41:37):
was like what.
Oh, I know I have a hot take.
I know I'm upset aboutsomething.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Okay, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Oh, I solved Interstate problems.
Three lanes All the time, semis, I think you still have.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Similar problems.
No, yeah, you win Lanes all thetime, semis right lane, I think
you still have similar problems.
No, yeah, you win.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Okay, here's my thought.
I thought of this today on mydrive Loaded semis to the right.
If you're not loaded, you stayin the right until you need to
pass loaded semis.
Then you can go in the middle.
Cars are middle and left Okayhold on Pause.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Do you think people are actually going to follow
those rules?
Speaker 2 (42:24):
No, I'm just.
If people did, it'd solve a lotof problems, I think Okay.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
I think semis just shouldn't be able to pass.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Yeah, agreed, yeah, I do not like them.
I went to Oklahoma, youremember that.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
You remember it?
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
It was terrible, because the hills, them boys.
They just want to pass so badand then they're slowing down
together.
Then they speed up together andthen they slow down together.
It's like all right, what arewe doing here?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
My hot take not really a really hot take my pet
peeve when you're driving andyou've got your auto, your
cruise on and somebody you pass,somebody just going what you've
been going and then they passyou and then they slow down
again.
That drives me nuts.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah, I agree, because they're just on their
phone or something.
Yeah, and yeah, not reallypaying attention.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
It's a lot of work.
You see them up there andyou're like, all right, I'm
catching, catching, catching,Pass, Good, and then they
freaking go.
It's like what I just did allthat work just to argue for a
couple miles you know, and alsosome people seem to get upset
when you pass them.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, like it's a attack on their manhood.
Yeah, it's like dude, you canpass me if you want, just go
faster, yeah.
Don't care, there you go, butyeah, that's what I've been up
to, yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
You're going to kind of back to the beginning, but
you going to be hunting somemore.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Yeah, I was going to hunt tonight, but I didn't.
It's hard to.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I found it hard to hunt on my night shifts, getting
up a little bit earlier than.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Yeah, because once you kind of in the thick of your
night shift, you sleep tilllike four that's what I do and
then go on with your day.
So it's hard to go home, sleepfor three hours and then get
back up and yeah, that ain'tworth it yeah, you going to be
(44:35):
on night shift when you start?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
No, Really, I'll be on days whenever I start.
Oh, because you like.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
FTO.
What is that?
I think is what it's called.
What is?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
it FTO.
Oh, it stands for somethingcool.
I don't know what it is yet.
Okay, but then Field trainingofficer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very good,see, that was a test.
I knew it the whole time, butthen if I get past that, then
I'll be on nights.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
You think you'll like that or not.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
I don't like the morning.
Do you know, if we're oncomplete opposite schedules,
we'll never see each other.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Dude, I'll freaking just come hang out.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I guess Zoe will just always have someone at the
house yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Nights are so bad.
Switching every two weeks isreally bad too.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Yeah, I imagine being on nights I feel like.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
I'm sick and tired all the time.
Speaker 2 (45:36):

Speaker 2 (03:03):

Speaker 3 (03:05):

talk about pretty funactivities?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Wherever you want to go with it.
I'm leaving it up to you.
You're our guest.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I've just been hunting.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hunting okay, you getting anything Dude neither
one of us you know the answer.
I guess you've seen deer huh,yeah, carter's the only one with
a deer.
Two of them, two of them.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
A few.
I'm not happy about it, just agood three days.
Out of my tree stands.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Nonetheless, yeah, both of them.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Both of them.
But when you got noresponsibilities in your life,
it's easy to.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Not for much longer.
Not for much longer not formuch longer.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
There you go, okay, let's do that.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Good, no, okay okay but no, the main thing I've been
doing is getting ready forMason's transplant.
He he had nine appointmentslast week.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yo which was quite the experience.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
yeah, All in St.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Louis.
All in St Louis.
Yeah, split over two days, sothat was made for a long day
because you got two hour drive,Then you do like six hours there
and then two hour back.
It's a full work day.
Um and he had blood work, whichis a.
That's a nightmare to watchyour five month old just get
(04:33):
stabbed with a needle.
Yeah, Um, but yeah, I mean it'sgoing to be the assuming we get
the donor the first of thatsurgery ever done in St Louis,
so we're not real nervous oranything.
Pretty good, assuming we getthe donor the first of that
surgery ever done in st louis,so we're not real nervous or
anything pretty good no yeah,we're all pretty sane.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I mean, I think most people that are aware of
the situation would understand,I guess, the feeling somewhat,
um, it's not one that you canrecreate in your head.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And try to put yourself in.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, it's a weird one and even I don't know if you
have kids.
You can somewhat imagine it.
It's just, even we knew beforehe was born he was going to have
some.
He had a heart issue.
But then you start getting intothe deep parts of it and you
(05:31):
start looking at the long term,like they were talking about all
the things we got to be carefulof when he's on his medicines
for that transplant and you'relike, whew, it's a lot deeper
and it's a lot longer processthan we thought.
So yeah it's all good.
We're blessed to be so close toSt Louis and they've got
(05:51):
incredible doctors.
All the prayers have meant alot to us too, so, yeah, been a
lot of fun, good year.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Well, I bought some nice stuff because it wasn't
working.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
There's a sharp razor .
Yeah, but that might be myproblem.
I need to probably switch itout.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Into a sharp razor?
Yeah, are you trying to tell methat your razor's too sharp?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, that's where I thought he was going.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
How long are you supposed to use it?
Oh, not that long, I mean.

Hmm, Maybe people can send us in some tips.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I don't have a problem.
I think you've got weak,sensitive skin.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I think so too Maybe.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
What's wrong with me?
Probably a lot of things, Betamainly.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Beta.
Yeah Well, so Okay Well.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
So, okay, okay, all right.
Well, we'll get into a littlebit of Bible talk.
I guess A little bit of Bibletalk, you got something.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, okay, you got something.
Yeah, all right, ray, you gotsomething, nope.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Okay, so we're in Matthew 10.
This chapter is where Jesussends out the 12 disciples, not
something that I I hope I'm notkind of overlapping with
something that you had CarterCarter here, but before I guess,
just to start, jesus sends outhis disciples and gives them the
(21:01):
ability to heal, cast outdemons and do all these things
that Jesus has been doing forpeople.
Which just that part alone is.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Well, that was my one thing, oh really, how freaking
cool was that man?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, go ahead, I don't want to steal your thunder
.
No, that was my one thing.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh really, how freaking cool, was that man?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, go ahead, I don't want to steal your thunder
.
No, that was about it.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
It would be sick.
But would you be kind ofnervous, be like, oh yeah, like
I don't want to screw this up,like he told me not to go here
and here.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And get these people looks at me, knocked my dust off
my sandals.
Yeah, Like, all right, let's go.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
That'd be sick, though, which I would, so I
would almost not believe it atfirst.
Yeah, like because we've talkedabout them, even seeing Jesus
perform these miracles and evenstill somewhat doubting, like is
he actually doing what we seehim doing?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But now he says we can do those things like
seriously would it be hard tostay humble.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He'd be like I've got the freaking power, oh yeah I
bet after, like you, do it acouple times yeah like watch
this.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Oh, but it'd be I'd be, scared.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'd be scared probably, oh I'd be yeah, but
then after a few I'd be like I'dbe scared probably.
Oh, I'd be yeah, but then aftera few I'd be like, hey brother,
it's going to be all right, butI don't know.
I don't know what I'd really belike.
I'm just kind of thinking herebecause I can't really imagine
that.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Right, that's not even in our yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It'd be cool, I think .
Yeah, it would be power, theyneed some responsibility, which
I don't have.
I probably won't get the power.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Okay, guess that's a way of looking at it, huh.
So did you have anythingspecific about that?
I didn't mean to Nope you goahead.
I was really hoping that wasn'twhat you had, because I just
wanted to highlight how kind ofcool it was, I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, so sick.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I thought it's interesting part.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Let me find it and read a little real quick.
Do not get any gold or silveror copper to take with you and
your belts.
No bag for the journey or extrashirt or sandals or a staff for
the worker is worth his keep.
Um, that is crazy to me becauseit's like oh, that was right
(23:19):
into the mic.
Um, like I, I pack like crazyon trips.
It's like so you've got yourhair.
That's kind of embarrassing getout of here like you can.
You know how you have that mewith shoes.
It's an embarrassing amount fora man to pack on a trip, so I
(23:43):
can't imagine being sent outlike that and told not to bring
anything.
But once again, like you'resaying, you've been given so
much power.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It's still hard to imagine, though, yeah, and
you've been given so much power,it's still hard to imagine
though, yeah, and then at thatpoint, like I imagine Jesus was
like hey, I think in the Chosenthe show, he like says okay,
you're going to go here, you twoare going to go there.
(24:12):
I don't know if that's whatactually happened, but I imagine
he gave some kind of direction.
But then also to be like howmany of those disciples have
been away from where Jesus issending them, I guess, and just
being like, okay, I'm going togo to this strange place and
trust that someone's going tolet me sleep in their house and
feed me, did you guys see?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
The Chosen was in Controversy.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Mm-mm.
Was this for the camera crew?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
stuff.
No, I don't believe so.
It was something like they'rejust not following the Bible
anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Really Well.
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I meant to send that to you guys the other day.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh dang.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I mean you guys can go on, I guess, and all that.
No, you can.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
How would they know?
Search for some worthy personthere and stay at his house
until you leave Right Worthy?
Yeah, I don't know.
That's kind of like I assume Idon't know.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
God's doing his work right, that's kind of how I take
it I don't know um, excuse me,sorry, excuse me sorry.
Yeah, I would imagine God hashis hand in all of it, and I
(25:45):
guess Jesus knows where they'regoing, and so you know, I don't
know.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, it would be kind of strange, something kind
of crazy that I think about.
It says if the home is, oh,wait, wait, wait, whoa, if
anyone will not welcome you orlisten to your words, shake the
dust off your feet when youleave that home or town.
I tell you the truth I will bemore bearable for Sodom and
(26:17):
Gomorrah on the day of judgmentthan that town.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So that was one that I pulled up.
I kind of marked it wasn't likethe main thing but like we
remember, I guess, from the OldTestament, what happened to
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like it just ceased to exist, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
And that will be better than what those people
will face.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, not welcoming Like.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I don't know.
Think of it as I'm sure youwould know, just that this is
one of God's people that's doingmiracles.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
But think of it as like some person coming into
Linville like, hey, can I stayat your house?
Yeah, sure, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That'd be weird.
Yeah, it would.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It'd just be hard to trust, but I hope you would,
because if you don't?
There's some trouble.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, that was one part that really stuck out to me
reading through Matthew 10, wasjust that that it'd be more
bearable to be in Sodom andGomorrah.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, how terrible that was.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And yeah, but also a little bit before that, it says
freely, you have received,freely give.
It's like well, it seems prettyplain, but like we we said
earlier, like now, you feel likeyou're you're kind of a big
shot with this power like yeahall right, so like it would be
hard, like even just as likehuman nature, I think we're a
little greedy, like, okay, likeI'll heal him, but I can also
(27:47):
maybe fix that too like yeah,yeah you know, like what, what
do you got for me?
You know, like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, it would be strange just to, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I think it would be pretty like cool, I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I but just to like automatically get it yeah.
It's like I didn't do anythingfor this.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm following Jesus, but yeah, and thinking back to
our last conversation was likegiving, I think I bet the
disciples just the feeling ofhealing people and casting out
demons and probably seeing theirreaction was enough to keep
them like, okay, this is good.
(28:33):
This is for God and I don'tneed anything from it.
Just to see these reactions andpeople being healed and
families feeling better andbeing able to not worry about
those things.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I feel like that's kind of how it's described.
They said let's see, go ratherto the lost sheep of Israelrael.
So I kind of look at is like,go, herd these stray sheep, yeah
, which is what we should bedoing as christians.
So it's kind of a look at likelike that, where we should be
(29:10):
reaching out to these peoplethat are kind of lost and
showing them God's glory, thegift.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, I don't know why, but I just kind of pictured
maybe the sheep not being lostbut just being in one place not
knowing where to go.
I guess that's kind of beinglost, but not completely
separate, just not knowing theright path to be with the other
sheep.
(29:38):
Yeah, that, yeah, I don't knowso kind of like lost yeah you're
right, you're right, yeah, yeahum so that's about all I had.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's what I got out of 10.
Yeah, I'm sure there's more toit, but that's just what popped
out to me.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Seems like we had similar thoughts.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, brady, did you have something you wanted to
chime in?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
No, you guys are killing it.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
No, we're actually killing the podcast.
Yeah, literally.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
The controversy, though, was in a scene they
released for the upcoming season.
In a scene they released forthe upcoming season, judas and
Jesus are talking, and Jesussays to Judas that he'll pray
for him, for his decision comingup, about whether to betray him
or not, and people are talkingabout how that's not what would
(30:33):
have happened at all, andbecause if Jesus prayed for him
to, uh, not betray him, thennone of us would be forgiven,
and so I don't know.
You have to look into it onyour own, do?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
your own research.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
But I thought that was interesting and it shows
that while shows are enjoyableand movies and whatever, it's
always just better to get itstraight from the Bible.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, Because why it's the word of the Lord and we
can trust it to be true rightthere you go there, you go, go
on.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What was that?
Isn't that what your dad says?
Or is that what Harold says?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Harold.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I forgot about that.
All right, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
This just popped in my head.
Have you guys seen how PhilRobertson has been doing?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Kind of I saw Alzheimer's.
Yeah, I saw, I guess he's gotsome other like blood disease or
something too.
Yeah, that doesn't help.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, that's pretty sad.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I always thought though because I think we had a
conversation before, I don'tknow if we talked about it on
here but especially afterstarting to go to church with
you guys, one thing, one thingfor me that kind of changed my
perspective on it, anyways, wasdeath and losing people, and
(32:12):
phil, in one of his, one oftheir episodes, said when I die
I don't know if you guys seen hesays when I die, don't be sad
like there's no better place forme to be than after I die yeah,
I did see that um, which is Ilike?
he's probably just so wise, andknowledgeable.
(32:37):
Yeah, just so much closer toGod.
But yeah, I just thought thatwas an interesting outlook on
things.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, he's also 78, so.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I thought he was older than that.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He looks older.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Isn't that crazy.
He seems older than that, liveda full life.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, all right, well , I'll get back to.
Sorry for the.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, you're good, brother, shoot off there.
I like a little shoot off.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
The part that I think offshoot maybe.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, you're right, I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
I could have let it go, I guess.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But that's why you're here, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You know, that's why we need you.
That's why we need you, you'reso back.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Back every six months .
So back, no.
But the little bit that Ipicked out or that stuck out to
me was the theme of not fearing,and in 26 through 33, a couple
(33:47):
times he's telling them whatit's going to be like don't be
afraid.
All this stuff, and it made methink of just how many times
Jesus says fear not or do not beafraid, and not just Jesus, but
(34:11):
in how many times it's said inthe Bible.
And then I thought back.
I think your dad included in asermon one time that fear not or
do not be afraid is the mostrepeated phrase in the entire
Bible.
And I'm not going to say Icounted it because I didn't, but
the Internet said that it issaid in the Bible 300 to 350
(34:37):
times, which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
But he's telling them all this stuff and it makes you
just think of the saying thefaith over fear and putting that
in front of fear, and fear isjust something that's.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Natural.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Right Normal to all of us.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
yeah, I think fear drives a lot of our decisions I
think, with this power thatthey're given I don't know if
it's called a power or whatever-yeah um, they would have had to
have thought, okay, there'speople out there that don't like
it, right, and I might have todie for this.
(35:26):
Yeah, so maybe that's the faithover fear, just like.
All right, we're going to do itas best as we can for as long
as we can, but in the end we'reprobably going to be put to
death for it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
So that would be tough, but I mean that's also
what they did following Jesus.
I mean quit everything.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I guess maybe I should read it for anyone just
listening.
So 26 through 33.
So do not be afraid of them,for there is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed orhidden that will not be made
known what.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I took a drink of my drink and he thought that was
funny.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
No, I was doing the face from Rick and Morty, okay.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Okay, all right, that's on us.
Well, not us, that's on him.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I tell you in the dark speak in the daylight.
I'm sorry, what I tell you inthe dark?
Speak in the daylight.
What is whispered in your earproclaim from the roofs Do not
be afraid of those who kill thebody but cannot kill the soul.
Rather be afraid of the one whocan destroy both soul and body
in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for apenny?
(36:53):
Verse 2.
Whoever acknowledges me beforeothers, I will also acknowledge
before my father in heaven.
But whoever disowns me beforeothers, I will disown before my
father in heaven.
and Judas no um, which is alittle scary to begin with, but
(37:17):
also pretty comforting.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah, exciting.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I just want to go tell everybody which I should.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Let's go do it Trick or treat.
Here's the Lord.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
That should be the new saying.
But yeah, I just thought thatthat was so.
Then I was just like, well,what other verses can we look at
that have the same message?
And I had a couple picked outhere.
The first one was Isaiah 41, 10.
So do not fear, for I am withyou.
(37:53):
Do not be dismayed, for I amGod, or I am your God.
I will strengthen you and helpyou.
I will uphold you with manyrighteous.
I cannot read I will uphold youwith my righteous hand, and
it's just God saying that he'sobviously with us and there for
strength and help.
And then the other one, andthen the other one was Psalm 56,
(38:20):
3 and 4.
When I am afraid, I put mytrust in you, in God, whose word
I praise.
In God I trust and am notafraid.
What can mere morals do to me?
And I think that just kind ofreiterates the point that Jesus
(38:40):
says, like sure, someone couldkill you, but they're killing
your body, not your flesh or notyour soul, and that belongs to
God and only he can do that.
Yeah, I don't know, I thinkthat kind of just a little bit
(39:05):
comforting.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Yeah, I think that's a pretty popular verse, isn't it
?
I feel like I've heard thatbefore.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Probably.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Well, I've definitely heard it before.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I think, if I before Probably.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Well, I've definitely heard it before, but yeah, I
think, if I know, Shoot yeah.
So that's what I like thatsaying.
I guess it's kind of turnedinto I don't want to say like
cliche, because it's a biblicalthing, but like the faith over
fear, Mm-hmm.
But it gets slapped on a lot ofshirts and stuff like that now,
but it's obviously like apretty important message.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, it would be tough.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, you think of like someone murdering you for
your faith, yeah, and that wouldbe like literally the worst
time to back down and be like ohno no, no, I'm joking, yeah,
and that'd be like literally theworst time to back down and be
like, oh, no, no, no, yeah, I'mjoking, yeah, and that's that
kind of goes to the point oflike Jesus and the disciples
after Jesus was crucified, likepeople don't choose to die on
(40:16):
based on a lie.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Like, yeah, yeah, that's right, choose to die
based on a lie.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, I think that's just one of those things that we
look at as Proof.
Yeah, in what we're reading,Yep, I agree.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Now on to Brady's hot take.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, we need one.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
I don't have one prepared, yeah.
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
You're also my guest for the new segment, carter's
Karaoke Yep, so you have to singyour favorite Christian song.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Okay, so Carter's karaoke is really hitting the
mark.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
We're two for two here.
Has anybody done it?
No, no.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
It was me and you.
Yeah, it was two people, ohyeah.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Carter's resume.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Carter had his shot last episode and just mouth open
drooling to get something hot,yep.
That's just him.
Every day, though, yeah Shoot.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
What.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Shoot.
Oh, what do you think I said I?
Speaker 3 (41:37):
was like what.
Oh, I know I have a hot take.
I know I'm upset aboutsomething.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Okay, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Oh, I solved Interstate problems.
Three lanes All the time, semis, I think you still have.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Similar problems.
No, yeah, you win Lanes all thetime, semis right lane, I think
you still have similar problems.
No, yeah, you win.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Okay, here's my thought.
I thought of this today on mydrive Loaded semis to the right.
If you're not loaded, you stayin the right until you need to
pass loaded semis.
Then you can go in the middle.
Cars are middle and left Okayhold on Pause.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Do you think people are actually going to follow
those rules?
Speaker 2 (42:24):
No, I'm just.
If people did, it'd solve a lotof problems, I think Okay.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
I think semis just shouldn't be able to pass.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Yeah, agreed, yeah, I do not like them.
I went to Oklahoma, youremember that.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
You remember it?
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
It was terrible, because the hills, them boys.
They just want to pass so badand then they're slowing down
together.
Then they speed up together andthen they slow down together.
It's like all right, what arewe doing here?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
My hot take not really a really hot take my pet
peeve when you're driving andyou've got your auto, your
cruise on and somebody you pass,somebody just going what you've
been going and then they passyou and then they slow down
again.
That drives me nuts.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah, I agree, because they're just on their
phone or something.
Yeah, and yeah, not reallypaying attention.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
It's a lot of work.
You see them up there andyou're like, all right, I'm
catching, catching, catching,Pass, Good, and then they
freaking go.
It's like what I just did allthat work just to argue for a
couple miles you know, and alsosome people seem to get upset
when you pass them.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, like it's a attack on their manhood.
Yeah, it's like dude, you canpass me if you want, just go
faster, yeah.
Don't care, there you go, butyeah, that's what I've been up
to, yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
You're going to kind of back to the beginning, but
you going to be hunting somemore.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Yeah, I was going to hunt tonight, but I didn't.
It's hard to.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I found it hard to hunt on my night shifts, getting
up a little bit earlier than.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Yeah, because once you kind of in the thick of your
night shift, you sleep tilllike four that's what I do and
then go on with your day.
So it's hard to go home, sleepfor three hours and then get
back up and yeah, that ain'tworth it yeah, you going to be
(44:35):
on night shift when you start?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
No, Really, I'll be on days whenever I start.
Oh, because you like.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
FTO.
What is that?
I think is what it's called.
What is?
Speaker 2 (44:45):
it FTO.
Oh, it stands for somethingcool.
I don't know what it is yet.
Okay, but then Field trainingofficer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very good,see, that was a test.
I knew it the whole time, butthen if I get past that, then
I'll be on nights.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
You think you'll like that or not.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
I don't like the morning.
Do you know, if we're oncomplete opposite schedules,
we'll never see each other.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Dude, I'll freaking just come hang out.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I guess Zoe will just always have someone at the
house yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Nights are so bad.
Switching every two weeks isreally bad too.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Yeah, I imagine being on nights I feel like.
