Nope, that's game over.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
No that's not.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh, look at that.
Okay, that works, thank you.
Thank you, wait, I figured oneof the buttons would actually do
something.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I was like Pacman.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What is that?
I have no idea, do you?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
have any control over which ones they are.

They were actually.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So for those listening, paul is kind of our
master in chief here.
Commander in chief.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
We're in trouble, folks.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, he's got a sound board in front of him and
he's got some different soundeffects that he's actually
loaded on there to use forenhancement of our show.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That did not enhance our show.
No, no.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But it will.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Just wait, okay, so maybe Should we just go into
this now, since we're kind ofalready here, we're already here
,
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Let's talk about who we are later.
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
No, that's boring.
We want the Bottom line.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
We came from Joy Church, we're all yes, here we
go, I do video stuff there, youguys do music, we're all
geniuses and creative and blah,blah blah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Who cares?
Yeah, who cares?
Who cares?
We do nothing and everythingand anything in between.
So where?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
did that statement come from?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Why am I missing that ?
We were making it up before you.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, yeah that's cool.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It was really off the cuff before you got here.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, here we go.
Say it one more time slower.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, so this is Mission man Podcast, with a show
about nothing and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:56):

Speaker 3 (04:56):
And anything in between.
And anything in between, oh,that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, on the sound effects, all right.
So again, who cares?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So we got the sound board here.
So what we did was we loadedsound effects that we thought
might be beneficial, that couldbe played throughout our show to
help enhance whoever's talkingHopefully enhance, hopefully
enhance.
And so what we did was we justall Anonymous, anonymous.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's a hard one, anonymous, anonymous.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That's a hard.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Speaking is hard, english is hard, true.
Anyways, without telling eachother who's put it in there, we
all put in different soundeffects that we thought could
help our show, so I think shouldwe just go through and why just
gave away like a few of mine?
So those are Paul's, but Johndoesn't know mine.
I don't know John's.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And I don't know either one of them.
Yeah, you don't know either ofours.

Let's try this one, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What is that?

Okay, it's called a cannonevent.
It's like something.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait wait wait, wait, wait, wait

Okay, you can play that oncommand.
Okay, here would be a scenariothat it would be said Okay, when
(08:46):
I was in the third grade I lostfive chromosomes.
What?
That would be the scenario setup for that.
So when that doesn't make anysense, I go.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
This was like X files .
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right, or when I was 12, I always wore neon green and
never wore deodorant.
It was a cannon event.

Yeah, it's a cannon event.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, there we go, all right.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Next one here we go.
Next one, we'll get through it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We'll get through it.
We'll get through it, we'll getthrough it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
We'll get through it.
We'll get through it.
We'll get through it.
Okay, that's when something istotally out of pocket, like way
left field, like you need to goto jail for what you just said.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Wait, wait, wait.
I hear this again.
What in the world is this sound?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
He's yelling what.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh, paul, you have so much to work with.
Oh my gosh.
All right, what's the next one?
Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wait, wait, wait.
I got to switch, I got toswitch banks.
Here we go.
All right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You know what that means?
Oh, okay, that means I got to,I'm looking at someone with a
side eye on that one, or I saysomething sus, like I like
dropped my phone.
Paul bends over.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Wait actually listen cue that sound this is a great
time to talk about how ourpodcast is very Christian based
and how we want to look throughthings through the lens of
Christ and everything that we doso great time.
Next, let's do the next sound.
All right, and I'm not jokingon that, but all right.
(10:31):
What's the next sound effect?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Okay, the last one.
I think this is the last one,yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Here we go.
Oh, that's just classic FineBoom.
I mean, that's just never heardthat sound effect.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Sure, I have.
I just don't know where wecould use it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I do.
It'd be like brah and I walkedinto the church and they were
using some sort of Fuji film2003 camera and the live stream
guy was 74 years old.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Here, just as John explaining this.
Just get a close up on my face.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, okay.
My cat walked into the washerand didn't kill itself.
My grandma makes mac and cheese.
It doesn't taste right.
I eat socks every day forbreakfast.
Danielle told me that I need abetter.
Okay, but yeah, chetland's arefor better.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, you're saying a lot of words right now and I'm
not quite sure what's happening.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's okay.
That's what that's going tosound like.
As Brandon said, this is aChristian podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It is yeah, believe it or not?
Christian podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All right.
So we should say this we aredefinitely do our best to live
our lives for Jesus andeverything that we do, but we
also like to have fun and besilly.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If you've made it this far in the podcast and
haven't turned it off, then youknow that we have.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, look, don't play.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Then this is a good thing, right.
Joy of Lord is our strength andwe got joy Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We got joy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's it, man.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's what the mission men are all about
Exactly.
We have fun, we enjoy life.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and I think that's important.
I think a lot of people well,paul and I were actually talking
offscreen earlier or offpodcast, off pod earlier, as my
sounds like a Star Warsreference.
We're off.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We were talking off the pod and then we got struck
from Jar Jar, bink, bink.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know what dude you just knew yourself are?
Sound board is what I'mrealizing.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We just need you to do all the sound effects.
V, asmr, my prime.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, and it will move quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's quickly, quickly , folks quickly.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
But I think it's important that we have the
ability to laugh, to have fun,be goofy, but then also be
serious, to and have someserious conversations.
But right now is not the timefor serious.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So we will get serious, though.
I mean to be fair, though.
If you're out in the worldtrying to show people Jesus, you
don't just want to be a stickin the mud and just be dry and
just be boring and just they getenough to reach anybody like
that anyways Right.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So that's the whole point of this podcast Exactly To
reach people.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Right, we want to appeal to everybody, but we
don't want to just be Goofball'sthe entire time.
I mean most of the time, mostof the time 99% of the time but
that 1%.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We're so serious.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It goes somewhere so serious.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh man, I love this.
Here's the funny thing.
I just love the fact that we'vegot three different, just
completely different people hereat this table and we have our
one common bomb, which is Jesus,but then we also have a really
good friendship All three of usand we all have our different
(13:51):
areas, that we have expertiseand whatnot.
Paul's just good at everything.
And then there's everything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Brandon somehow graduated high school.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
We're dead weight pretty much, oh yeah but, but,
and that's how Mission mediagroup started.
Right, you got to talk aboutthat for a brief second.
That is our sponsor.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Absolutely.
We should talk about oursponsors, isn't we?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Absolutely Thanks, sponsor.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
All right.
So, for those of you wondering,mission media group is a Is a
business that the three of ushave put together using all of
our individual strengths andtalents.
And what was our?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
it's we want to know.
You're gonna say that I know, Iknow.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
The mission.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
One second wait.
Do a sound effect.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I'm just pressing buttons at this point.
Creating was it creatingcinematic content.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, like creating Christ centered content with
like cinematic flair.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
We're still working on memorizing, as you can tell,
we're still a work in progresson the on that part.
You haven't written downanywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Are we.
It's on your phone.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Are we even a business?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Are we the change?
Open your phone and actuallyread the actual yeah, because we
can't.
We can't look like idiots.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm 57, so my memory is probably and I'm 21, aren't?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
my attention span is 5 seconds.
Your attention span?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
that's exactly right, exactly, so Brandon is the only
one that can save us right now,and I'm just an idiot, just in
general.
Well, he's why he's pullingthat up.
Okay, he's gonna pull it up now, but yes, mission media group.
All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So we want to help take Christian media to the next
level by creating cinematiccontent in a Christ centered way
.
Yep, so yeah.
So what are some ways that weFeel like we can help do that?
What?
What are some areas or and wehave worked on a few projects-
Right, but we worked on you know.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So the one of the things we started off was which
is most of the time is Trying totake our Media to a new level
at church, because most of thechurches right now you could,
you know, they were all shovedinto this streaming Thing and
there's a code.
Yeah, yeah, and you know, theykind of just bought as much gear
(16:10):
as they could, put it in a roomand see what worked and most of
the time most Streams fromchurches look not so good.
Carpo, and it's not this.
You know, even at our, ourchurches, our church doesn't
look bad.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I'm not trying to say everybody's podcast,
everybody's streams look bad,but right, there's a lot that
need that can be fixed.
Yeah, and this is where we comein.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right and and that's where the the whole idea started
and it's branched from there,and we'll talk more about that
later, but where it's, we wantedto give our church a product
that they and the congregationcould be super proud of that.
So what we did was we we.
We filmed our praise andworship team I'm doing one of
their song-stirring rehearsalsand during the set, and then we
(16:55):
also took the audio, cleaned itup, made it sound really great,
you know yeah.
We really wanted to try to makeit sound like, you know, a
Bethel or elevation type.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Longing right longing experience whatever the great
and so.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So we feel like we got the look and the sound and
we're able to take somethingthat you know was okay and Able
to really create something that,in my, our opinion is great
right.
Yeah and we want to offer thatto other churches and outlets,
and I mean because there's somany churches out there.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, I could use this service.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We made something on a fair budget.
Look like it was on a highbudget.
I would say yeah, right.
Well, definitely on an averagebudget to a very high budget, I
would say.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, I would even fair to say it was zero, zero,
zero budget, coven budget whichwas zero budget.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, look like a million how many XLR cables we
got two.
Nice, let's just use extensioncords for the rest.
Exactly, and that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's kind of what we and what we'll do.
We'll do more than just thatright right.
We can do, we can film, we canshoot.
We did some stuff with thedevil wards recently and Look
great and looked great.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Look very.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
John's had a lot of stuff with Dennell and it looked
really yeah, and.
Jeff was our other audio personthat came and helped us with
that and that was great so shoutout curb, yeah, in curb studios
.
We shot it at curb studios,which was great.
Yeah, it baits our studiomanager of that.
It we're on all that together,which is amazing.
So, yeah, I mean we'll do this.
We can do, obviously, podcastsand we'll do interviews.
(18:28):
We'll do anything.
I mean we'll do just aboutanything to help a church.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Testimonies.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah right, you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, so no, I was just gonna tag along.
I think that's really we wannahelp.
I mean, when we all kind of gottogether and we were like
figuring this whole thing outand we still are in some regards
we're just like all right,what's our main mission?
And it's part of the pun, butit's like we want to help
further the kingdom of God andwe feel like giving churches and
(19:01):
other different ministries orwhatever these tools that they
can reach people that can catchtheir eye, that can catch their
ear.
Oh man, this is done withexcellence.
This is really really well done, because if a church comes
across that way, then they'regonna wanna know more about that
church and I think, or ministryor any other lane that's
(19:25):
pushing out the kingdom of God,and I think that's really where
it all stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah Well, speaking from my generation too, and
really Brandon's, but I mean alot of young people just
immediately turn off or clickaway from Instagrams or
YouTube's that aren't goodlooking.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Why would you watch?
Well, they don't look slick.
They don't look slick.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Why would you watch a video with 200 views that looks
like crap and then nodisrespect.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Language, language Sorry.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Do we have a sensor sound effect?
No just kidding, but why wouldyou watch that when you wrong
sound effect?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
When it looks like crap, I was gonna hit that same
one forever, absolutely.
That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
But why would you watch that?
When you go watch somethingthat's got a million views looks
great shot great.
You wanna share it, you wannashow it to your friends, you
wanna show it to the unbelieversbecause you're like hey us.
Christians don't just do cringystuff.
We do stuff that looks goodright, and here's the thing
Gotta be shareable.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
What I hate really about Christian media for the
most part is how bad it normallylooks.
Yes, you know, and this isstill to this day, there's some,
there's some people out theremaking some great content and
some great movies and greatshows and stuff like that, but
there's still a lot of it outthere.
I mean even back in the day youcould automatically turn on
(20:44):
your television and you know ifyou had it on a Christian
station, because it lookedhorrible.
Oh you knew.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, you just know , that's all I watched.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And the level of quality just wasn't there.
Now, luckily you know, that'schanged a lot, yeah.
I made a change.
You have, you know, shows likethe Chose and multi-million
dollar budgets that are doingthese shows and that's amazing
shows and the movies JesusRevolution and the Hell yeah
Jacksonster all these greatmovies that are out there now
that look amazing.
(21:11):
Yeah, jesus Revolution wasgreat, but you still have a lot
of bad stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, so circling back to that, John, you said you
kind of grew up on that.
What are some things that youremember like as far?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
as just like.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Christian media Can't name drop.
Yeah, that's true, I won't namedrop, don't name the shows no,
no, no, I won't name the peopleor the shows.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I'll say that my childhood was very centered
around Christian TV shows,christian kids shows and most of
them.
And how bad was it?
I mean terrible.
And the other fact was that Ihad I only had so many options,
because back then we didn't havecable.
We didn't have any on-demandstuff.
(21:53):
Well, we had cable, we justdidn't pay for cable.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Right, Wait, you what do?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
you mean my parents didn't pay for cable.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But you didn't have it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You had cable, I didn't have it.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, I did not have cable.
You mean in general like therewas cable available.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I thought you were saying your parents hijacked the
cable.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
No, well, but they weren't gonna pay for it.
No, we didn't have.
They didn't pay for cable, theypaid for the basic, like eight
channels which have like TBN.
Oh, I name dropped but, I'm notsaying that's bad, I'm not
saying TBN's bad, I'm justsaying Well, here's here.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
We can safely probably say I know the guys at
TBN, they are great guys and thestuff that they're doing now is
amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
This is not the same TBN, as this was 15 years ago.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And this has nothing to do with TBN.
Some of the movies that TBNwould show are not affiliated
with TBN.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, right, some.
Of that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But they had the TBN, they had a couple Christian
channels.
They had like JCTV.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't know if any.
I remember JCTV.
You know JCTV, that was myfavorite.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And then Smile of a Child that was painful because
of the you used the word painfulBecause of the kid shows, or
just back then they were just sobad.
I mean, you had I can't even, Iwon't even say many more names,
but it was just a lot of hoursspent up in that bonus room
watching the same movie abouteight different times Cause I
(23:10):
didn't have anything else.
So I can switch.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And the thing about it is is they were saying the
same thing, trying to tell thesame story over and over and
over again.
It's almost like a Hallmarkmovie.
You know the plot.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Well, in the same at least in my experience was with
the Christian music as well too.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Christian music was probably just as bad as, not
worse.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, oh man, I'm not going to name names.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
We're definitely not going to name names.
No, no.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We might film a music video for one of those.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Or the artists may come in here, so we don't want
to name them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No no, no, of course, of course.
But let's just say Christianmusic is quality.
No, sound effect vine boom.
No, not that.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's, it makes Hold on.
There you go, there we go, okay.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Wow, is that like?
Is that like law and order?
Like don't do like?
Is that like a final?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
we got to have the law and order one.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
The law order was classic.
I don't know what that we gotto get the Samson.
It's of course you don't wantto.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
We got to get that in here too, but is that so with
Christian?
What does that mean?
Well, on order, it's a show.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I didn't watch that, I watched Veggie Tales,
yeah right.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They probably covered law and order.
But no, I think with withChristian music, it has
obviously come such a long way.
I mean, like I tell my kids allthe time I'm like you guys
don't realize, oh my God, howgood you have it right now.
I mean like if there is somegreat Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I worked in the Christian music industry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And I could easily say whatever was being produced
Was from a production value Was10 years out of date.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they mean.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Basically if we were in 2000, that's real the music
sounded like 1990.
Yeah, in Christian yeah, rightand yeah, but it's gotten,
that's gotten so much better.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well, and I think, with the affordability of all
this gear now, where anybody cando this music in their room and
they can get it.
I mean, that's that's been myexperience with what I do and
professionally I do stuff in myroom and it gets, you know,
played on commercials.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I mean, you and I both, we have home studios,
right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
We didn't have that then.
No, back in the day.
No.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Not to the level of the quality of what we can do in
our home studios today Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You can make a song that will pop up on the charts
from your own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Oh, we can.
We can On your Mac Mix itmaster, it put it out on yeah On
Apple kids do it all the time.
Yeah, a rap, rap especiallywhen that was on her Does rap is
so easy to go viral with, Ithink.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, I think it's.
That's probably discussion foranother episode, but yeah, no,
but all this to say, this showis a little bit about everything
Right and nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Right, you mean, but no, what is it?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
What happened?
I'm sorry, I'm good, you needsome water.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I see.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think, I think this episode perfectly showed how
this how we can have reallygreat discussions how it started
with stupid sound effects tothe where the Christian music
industry currently stands.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And not true and probably in the process.
No, I don't think so.
No, no, it's a fair assessment.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
But here's the deal and the show will have, we'll
have gas.
Oh yeah, We'll have gas I meanthis first show we wanted you to
know who we are, so we didn'thave a gas Right, but we'll have
gas.
We'll talk about some greatthings and we'll talk about a
whole bunch of other stuff,absolutely.
And hopefully it'll besomething that can resonate with
someone, yeah, and touch themin a unique way.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, and I think too , I think, once we really kind
of get this going, I'd love toget input from people who are
listening to this, people whoare listening and checking out.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Tell them how bad we are Come listen, yeah, that's
that's I want that.
We want the comments.
Do you email?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
us Listen.
We know it's a train wreck.
Ok, just go ahead and tell us,that's fine.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
We're very secure men .
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Hit us up on Instagram or whatever and DMS

Speaker 2 (27:20):

Why are you trying to hit thepurple yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It didn't tap it or enough.
Now you got hit right in themiddle, oh OK.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
So, anyway, this is, this is, this is who we are,
this is the mission.
Speaker 2 (27:35):

connection and how we know eachother we got a connection, all
right, yeah, the connection.
Thank you, john.
So what?
What, uh Paul, how would, howwould you say?
This whole thing kind of cameabout wow, it's if I didn't get
(02:58):
deep.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, no, I mean, it's pretty simple.
I mean Joey Church, joey Church, our church our local.
Our home church is where we met, I'll say, on the praise team,
brandon's on the praise team.
We both do praise team andaudio stuff and John.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm up there all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
He's up there all the time.
He's doing so much stuff.
He's doing so much stuff.
But John is the pastor's son.
Hey, can we get a clap?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
sound effect for that .
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Let's see, let's see.
Nope, that's game over.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
No that's not.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh, look at that.
Okay, that works, thank you.
Thank you, wait, I figured oneof the buttons would actually do
something.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I was like Pacman.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What is that?
I have no idea, do you?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
have any control over which ones they are.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
If I read them, it would be really good.
They were actually.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So for those listening, paul is kind of our
master in chief here.
Commander in chief.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
We're in trouble, folks.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, he's got a sound board in front of him and
he's got some different soundeffects that he's actually
loaded on there to use forenhancement of our show.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
That did not enhance our show.
No, no.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But it will.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Just wait, okay, so maybe Should we just go into
this now, since we're kind ofalready here, we're already here
,
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Let's talk about who we are later.
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
No, that's boring.
We want the Bottom line.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
We came from Joy Church, we're all yes, here we
go, I do video stuff there, youguys do music, we're all
geniuses and creative and blah,blah blah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Who cares?
Yeah, who cares?
Who cares?
We do nothing and everythingand anything in between.
So where?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
did that statement come from?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Why am I missing that ?
We were making it up before you.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, yeah that's cool.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It was really off the cuff before you got here.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, here we go.
Say it one more time slower.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, so this is Mission man Podcast, with a show
about nothing and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And anything in between.
And anything in between, oh,that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, on the sound effects, all right.
So again, who cares?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So we got the sound board here.
So what we did was we loadedsound effects that we thought
might be beneficial, that couldbe played throughout our show to
help enhance whoever's talkingHopefully enhance, hopefully
enhance.
And so what we did was we justall Anonymous, anonymous.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's a hard one, anonymous, anonymous.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That's a hard.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Speaking is hard, english is hard, true.
Anyways, without telling eachother who's put it in there, we
all put in different soundeffects that we thought could
help our show, so I think shouldwe just go through and why just
gave away like a few of mine?
So those are Paul's, but Johndoesn't know mine.
I don't know John's.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And I don't know either one of them.
Yeah, you don't know either ofours.
I don't know who put them in.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So let's go through, let's see what we got on the
board to kind of play with.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
All right, you guys, you're ready for this?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And this will definitely change as the show.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Right.
So okay, I think I loaded themin correctly.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
These next ones, I'll just tell you what context I
would say them in.
Let's try this one, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's from Spider-Man.
Okay, it's called a cannonevent.
It's like something.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,wait wait wait, wait, wait, wait

would be like oh that, that'sthe perfect, that's the.
Can you play that again oncommand when I'm done with not

Okay, you can play that oncommand.
Okay, here would be a scenariothat it would be said Okay, when
(08:46):
I was in the third grade I lostfive chromosomes.
What?
That would be the scenario setup for that.
So when that doesn't make anysense, I go.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
This was like X files .
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right, or when I was 12, I always wore neon green and
never wore deodorant.
It was a cannon event.
Is that true?
Yeah, it's a cannon event.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, there we go, all right.

Next one here we go.
Next one, we'll get through it.

left field, like you need to goto jail for what you just said.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Wait, wait, wait.

side eye on that one, or I saysomething sus, like I like
dropped my phone.
Paul bends over.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Wait actually listen cue that sound this is a great
time to talk about how ourpodcast is very Christian based
and how we want to look throughthings through the lens of
Christ and everything that we doso great time.
Next, let's do the next sound.
All right, and I'm not jokingon that, but all right.
(10:31):
What's the next sound effect?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Okay, the last one.
I think this is the last one,yeah.

Oh, that's just classic FineBoom.
I mean, that's just never heardthat sound effect.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Sure, I have.
I just don't know where wecould use it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):

It'd be like brah and I walkedinto the church and they were
using some sort of Fuji film2003 camera and the live stream
guy was 74 years old.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, you're saying a lot of words right now and I'm
not quite sure what's happening.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's okay.
That's what that's going tosound like.
As Brandon said, this is aChristian podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It is yeah, believe it or not?
Christian podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All right.
So we should say this we aredefinitely do our best to live
our lives for Jesus andeverything that we do, but we
also like to have fun and besilly.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If you've made it this far in the podcast and
haven't turned it off, then youknow that we have.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, look, don't play.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Then this is a good thing, right.
Joy of Lord is our strength andwe got joy Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We got joy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's it, man.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's what the mission men are all about
Exactly.
We have fun, we enjoy life.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and I think that's important.
I think a lot of people well,paul and I were actually talking
offscreen earlier or offpodcast, off pod earlier, as my
sounds like a Star Warsreference.
We're off.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We were talking off the pod and then we got struck
from Jar Jar, bink, bink.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know what dude you just knew yourself are?
Sound board is what I'mrealizing.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
We just need you to do all the sound effects.
V, asmr, my prime.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, and it will move quickly.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's quickly, quickly , folks quickly.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
But I think it's important that we have the
ability to laugh, to have fun,be goofy, but then also be
serious, to and have someserious conversations.
But right now is not the timefor serious.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So we will get serious, though.
I mean to be fair, though.
If you're out in the worldtrying to show people Jesus, you
don't just want to be a stickin the mud and just be dry and
just be boring and just they getenough to reach anybody like
that anyways Right.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So that's the whole point of this podcast Exactly To
reach people.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Right, we want to appeal to everybody, but we
don't want to just be Goofball'sthe entire time.
I mean most of the time, mostof the time 99% of the time but
that 1%.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We're so serious.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It goes somewhere so serious.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh man, I love this.
Here's the funny thing.
I just love the fact that we'vegot three different, just
completely different people hereat this table and we have our
one common bomb, which is Jesus,but then we also have a really
good friendship All three of usand we all have our different
(13:51):
areas, that we have expertiseand whatnot.
Paul's just good at everything.
And then there's everything.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Brandon somehow graduated high school.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
We're dead weight pretty much, oh yeah but, but,
and that's how Mission mediagroup started.
Right, you got to talk aboutthat for a brief second.
That is our sponsor.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Absolutely.
We should talk about oursponsors, isn't we?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Absolutely Thanks, sponsor.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
All right.
So, for those of you wondering,mission media group is a Is a
business that the three of ushave put together using all of
our individual strengths andtalents.
And what was our?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
it's we want to know.
You're gonna say that I know, Iknow.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
The mission.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
One second wait.
Do a sound effect.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I'm just pressing buttons at this point.
Creating was it creatingcinematic content.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, like creating Christ centered content with
like cinematic flair.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
We're still working on memorizing, as you can tell,
we're still a work in progresson the on that part.
You haven't written downanywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Are we.
It's on your phone.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Are we even a business?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Are we the change?
Open your phone and actuallyread the actual yeah, because we
can't.
We can't look like idiots.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm 57, so my memory is probably and I'm 21, aren't?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
my attention span is 5 seconds.
Your attention span?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
that's exactly right, exactly, so Brandon is the only
one that can save us right now,and I'm just an idiot, just in
general.
Well, he's why he's pullingthat up.
Okay, he's gonna pull it up now, but yes, mission media group.
All right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So we want to help take Christian media to the next
level by creating cinematiccontent in a Christ centered way
.
Yep, so yeah.
So what are some ways that weFeel like we can help do that?
What?
What are some areas or and wehave worked on a few projects-
Right, but we worked on you know.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So the one of the things we started off was which
is most of the time is Trying totake our Media to a new level
at church, because most of thechurches right now you could,
you know, they were all shovedinto this streaming Thing and
there's a code.
Yeah, yeah, and you know, theykind of just bought as much gear
(16:10):
as they could, put it in a roomand see what worked and most of
the time most Streams fromchurches look not so good.
Carpo, and it's not this.
You know, even at our, ourchurches, our church doesn't
look bad.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I'm not trying to say everybody's podcast,
everybody's streams look bad,but right, there's a lot that
need that can be fixed.
Yeah, and this is where we comein.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right and and that's where the the whole idea started
and it's branched from there,and we'll talk more about that
later, but where it's, we wantedto give our church a product
that they and the congregationcould be super proud of that.
So what we did was we we.
We filmed our praise andworship team I'm doing one of
their song-stirring rehearsalsand during the set, and then we
(16:55):
also took the audio, cleaned itup, made it sound really great,
you know yeah.
We really wanted to try to makeit sound like, you know, a
Bethel or elevation type.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Longing right longing experience whatever the great
and so.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So we feel like we got the look and the sound and
we're able to take somethingthat you know was okay and Able
to really create something that,in my, our opinion is great
right.
Yeah and we want to offer thatto other churches and outlets,
and I mean because there's somany churches out there.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, I could use this service.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
We made something on a fair budget.
Look like it was on a highbudget.
I would say yeah, right.
Well, definitely on an averagebudget to a very high budget, I
would say.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I mean, I would even fair to say it was zero, zero,
zero budget, coven budget whichwas zero budget.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, look like a million how many XLR cables we
got two.
Nice, let's just use extensioncords for the rest.
Exactly, and that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's kind of what we and what we'll do.
We'll do more than just thatright right.
We can do, we can film, we canshoot.
We did some stuff with thedevil wards recently and Look
great and looked great.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Look very.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
John's had a lot of stuff with Dennell and it looked
really yeah, and.
Jeff was our other audio personthat came and helped us with
that and that was great so shoutout curb, yeah, in curb studios
.
We shot it at curb studios,which was great.
Yeah, it baits our studiomanager of that.
It we're on all that together,which is amazing.
So, yeah, I mean we'll do this.
We can do, obviously, podcastsand we'll do interviews.
(18:28):
We'll do anything.
I mean we'll do just aboutanything to help a church.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Testimonies.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah right, you know yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, so no, I was just gonna tag along.
I think that's really we wannahelp.
I mean, when we all kind of gottogether and we were like
figuring this whole thing outand we still are in some regards
we're just like all right,what's our main mission?
And it's part of the pun, butit's like we want to help
further the kingdom of God andwe feel like giving churches and
(19:01):
other different ministries orwhatever these tools that they
can reach people that can catchtheir eye, that can catch their
ear.
Oh man, this is done withexcellence.
This is really really well done, because if a church comes
across that way, then they'regonna wanna know more about that
church and I think, or ministryor any other lane that's
(19:25):
pushing out the kingdom of God,and I think that's really where
it all stemmed from.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah Well, speaking from my generation too, and
really Brandon's, but I mean alot of young people just
immediately turn off or clickaway from Instagrams or
YouTube's that aren't goodlooking.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Why would you watch?
Well, they don't look slick.
They don't look slick.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Why would you watch a video with 200 views that looks
like crap and then nodisrespect.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Language, language Sorry.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Do we have a sensor sound effect?
No just kidding, but why wouldyou watch that when you wrong
sound effect?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
When it looks like crap, I was gonna hit that same
one forever, absolutely.
That's a great one.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
But why would you watch that?
When you go watch somethingthat's got a million views looks
great shot great.
You wanna share it, you wannashow it to your friends, you
wanna show it to the unbelieversbecause you're like hey us.
Christians don't just do cringystuff.
We do stuff that looks goodright, and here's the thing
Gotta be shareable.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
What I hate really about Christian media for the
most part is how bad it normallylooks.
Yes, you know, and this isstill to this day, there's some,
there's some people out theremaking some great content and
some great movies and greatshows and stuff like that, but
there's still a lot of it outthere.
I mean even back in the day youcould automatically turn on
(20:44):
your television and you know ifyou had it on a Christian
station, because it lookedhorrible.
Oh you knew.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I mean, you just know , that's all I watched.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And the level of quality just wasn't there.
Now, luckily you know, that'schanged a lot, yeah.
I made a change.
You have, you know, shows likethe Chose and multi-million
dollar budgets that are doingthese shows and that's amazing
shows and the movies JesusRevolution and the Hell yeah
Jacksonster all these greatmovies that are out there now
that look amazing.
(21:11):
Yeah, jesus Revolution wasgreat, but you still have a lot
of bad stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, so circling back to that, John, you said you
kind of grew up on that.
What are some things that youremember like as far?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
as just like.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Christian media Can't name drop.
Yeah, that's true, I won't namedrop, don't name the shows no,
no, no, I won't name the peopleor the shows.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I'll say that my childhood was very centered
around Christian TV shows,christian kids shows and most of
them.
And how bad was it?
I mean terrible.
And the other fact was that Ihad I only had so many options,
because back then we didn't havecable.
We didn't have any on-demandstuff.
(21:53):
Well, we had cable, we justdidn't pay for cable.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Right, Wait, you what do?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
you mean my parents didn't pay for cable.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But you didn't have it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You had cable, I didn't have it.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, I did not have cable.
You mean in general like therewas cable available.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I thought you were saying your parents hijacked the
cable.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
No, well, but they weren't gonna pay for it.
No, we didn't have.
They didn't pay for cable, theypaid for the basic, like eight
channels which have like TBN.
Oh, I name dropped but, I'm notsaying that's bad, I'm not
saying TBN's bad, I'm justsaying Well, here's here.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
We can safely probably say I know the guys at
TBN, they are great guys and thestuff that they're doing now is
amazing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
This is not the same TBN, as this was 15 years ago.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And this has nothing to do with TBN.
Some of the movies that TBNwould show are not affiliated
with TBN.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, right, some.
Of that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But they had the TBN, they had a couple Christian
channels.
They had like JCTV.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't know if any.
I remember JCTV.
You know JCTV, that was myfavorite.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And then Smile of a Child that was painful because
of the you used the word painfulBecause of the kid shows, or
just back then they were just sobad.
I mean, you had I can't even, Iwon't even say many more names,
but it was just a lot of hoursspent up in that bonus room
watching the same movie abouteight different times Cause I
(23:10):
didn't have anything else.
So I can switch.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And the thing about it is is they were saying the
same thing, trying to tell thesame story over and over and
over again.
It's almost like a Hallmarkmovie.
You know the plot.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Well, in the same at least in my experience was with
the Christian music as well too.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Christian music was probably just as bad as, not
worse.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, oh man, I'm not going to name names.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
We're definitely not going to name names.
No, no.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
We might film a music video for one of those.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Or the artists may come in here, so we don't want
to name them.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
No no, no, of course, of course.
But let's just say Christianmusic is quality.
No, sound effect vine boom.
No, not that.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's, it makes Hold on.
There you go, there we go, okay.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Wow, is that like?
Is that like law and order?
Like don't do like?
Is that like a final?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
we got to have the law and order one.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
The law order was classic.
I don't know what that we gotto get the Samson.
It's of course you don't wantto.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
We got to get that in here too, but is that so with
Christian?
What does that mean?
Well, on order, it's a show.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I didn't watch that, I watched Veggie Tales,
yeah right.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
They probably covered law and order.
But no, I think with withChristian music, it has
obviously come such a long way.
I mean, like I tell my kids allthe time I'm like you guys
don't realize, oh my God, howgood you have it right now.
I mean like if there is somegreat Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I worked in the Christian music industry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
And I could easily say whatever was being produced
Was from a production value Was10 years out of date.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they mean.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Basically if we were in 2000, that's real the music
sounded like 1990.
Yeah, in Christian yeah, rightand yeah, but it's gotten,
that's gotten so much better.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well, and I think, with the affordability of all
this gear now, where anybody cando this music in their room and
they can get it.
I mean, that's that's been myexperience with what I do and
professionally I do stuff in myroom and it gets, you know,
played on commercials.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I mean, you and I both, we have home studios,
right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
We didn't have that then.
No, back in the day.
No.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Not to the level of the quality of what we can do in
our home studios today Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You can make a song that will pop up on the charts
from your own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Oh, we can.
We can On your Mac Mix itmaster, it put it out on yeah On
Apple kids do it all the time.
Yeah, a rap, rap especiallywhen that was on her Does rap is
so easy to go viral with, Ithink.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, I think it's.
That's probably discussion foranother episode, but yeah, no,
but all this to say, this showis a little bit about everything
Right and nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Right, you mean, but no, what is it?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
What happened?
I'm sorry, I'm good, you needsome water.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I see.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think, I think this episode perfectly showed how
this how we can have reallygreat discussions how it started
with stupid sound effects tothe where the Christian music
industry currently stands.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And not true and probably in the process.
No, I don't think so.
No, no, it's a fair assessment.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
But here's the deal and the show will have, we'll
have gas.
Oh yeah, We'll have gas I meanthis first show we wanted you to
know who we are, so we didn'thave a gas Right, but we'll have
gas.
We'll talk about some greatthings and we'll talk about a
whole bunch of other stuff,absolutely.
And hopefully it'll besomething that can resonate with
someone, yeah, and touch themin a unique way.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, and I think too , I think, once we really kind
of get this going, I'd love toget input from people who are
listening to this, people whoare listening and checking out.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Tell them how bad we are Come listen, yeah, that's
that's I want that.
We want the comments.
Do you email?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
us Listen.
We know it's a train wreck.
Ok, just go ahead and tell us,that's fine.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
We're very secure men .
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Hit us up on Instagram or whatever and DMS
and tell us how bad our yeah tryto hit that button.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It didn't work.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Which button?
Why are you trying to hit thepurple yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It didn't tap it or enough.
Now you got hit right in themiddle, oh OK.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
So, anyway, this is, this is, this is who we are,
this is the mission.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And I guess yeah, can I close this out?
Go for it.
Buddy Guys, we've had a greattime today, learned a lot of
valuable lessons, but it's timefor us to leave and we hope you
have a great rest of your week.
We'll be sure to talk to yousoon.
