Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh Ideontology one O one Linchintaco.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Orlando's rock Station one oh one one w j r R.
This hour of the show is brought to you by
Petty's Meats on State Road four thirty four and Longwood,
just west of Buy four. Been there for forty years.
Pettis is awesome, top quality cuts of meat, freshly prepared sides,
gourmet uh section there, grocery, gourmet grocery section, great people

(00:29):
who work at Petty. I think I'm gonna have to
stop by there a little extra this week. I'm bacheloring it.
Wife's oude of town, visiting our daughter in Kansas City,
so might have to spend a little more of the
disposable income than I already normally do it. Petties, we'll
see you soon. If you've never been, go check them out.
You'll be uh, you'll be a customer for life. I'm

(00:50):
telling you, all right, this is the craziest story I've
come across yet this week, and we come across some crazies,
by the ways. On vacation, I keep getting people asking.
I know, people come in and out of the show,
and if I'm repeating myself, I just I don't want
anyone think anything is a wry or wrong, It's not.
He's just on vacation. Fort Wayne, Indiana thirty six year

(01:15):
old man there is facing felony charges after he allegedly
cut off his own genitals and used it as kindling
to commit arson. What did I just say? A thirty
six year old Fort Wayne, Indiana man facing felony charges
after he allegedly cut off his own genitals and used

(01:36):
them to commit arson. How exactly did this go down? Well?
Christopher Pedin is charged with one kind of arson, which
carries a potential prison sentence of up to twelve years.
The Fort Wayne, Indiana Fire Department was dispatched to a
garage fire just as the Fort Wayne Police Department officers

(01:57):
were dispatched to reports of a stabbing at the hospital.
Someone had arrived a stabbing victim at the hospital. That
stabbing victim was this peding character, And while at the
hospital that was when he came clean and told the
officer he was dishonest about the stabbing and wanted to

(02:17):
be truthful. He said that at about two o'clock in
the morning, he had gone into the garage at his
home and used a kitchen knife to well detach his junk.
He then proceeded to pour gasoline on the the organ
in question and set it on fire, leaving the garage

(02:38):
walking away and leaving the blaze to burn, which it did,
thus the arson charge at the seat of the fire.
Fire investigators located the gasoline container in four lighters, as
well as the kitchen knife. No, it just can not

(03:00):
say if the kindling, if you will, was located. I'm
assuming that probably burned up in the garage fire. This
whole thing is. All of this came out in his
initial court appearance this week, So I'm gonna set this
story aside. Maybe Court TV will pick this one up.

(03:22):
I wouldn't mind.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Going live to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Let's check in with
the junk fire man. Wh God, Holy cow?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right. I'm very open that I believe in God.
I consider myself a spiritual person. I do not subscribe
to any particular organized religion. I was born and raised Catholic,
but have since kind of strayed from organized religion for
a host of reasons, several of which are illustrated in
this story. I want to share with you about Grace

(03:58):
City Church and pastor. A guy named Pastor Josh McPherson.
He runs this church out of Wenatchee, Washington.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
He just gave.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
A sermon titled are Christians required to give money to
the Church? And I just want to read you some
of the lines from this quote. This is quoting the
pastor out of this church in Washington State. If you're
sitting here claiming to be a strong man and wearing
the gear, and you are not tithing to God through

(04:33):
his church, and you're some alpha male who likes to
look down on all those gay sex men, just know
that God views you and those men as the same. Okay,
Now he's bringing homosexuality into it and equating that to
folks who don't want to give at least ten percent
off the top of everything they make, which is what

(04:55):
he says is first fruits in their church. Yes, that's
where begins. Ten percent off the top of whatever your
household income is that needs to come in to our church,
says McPherson. It's just the starting point. Then he went
on to say anyone who doesn't do this falls into
one of two categories, tippers and takers. This church is

(05:22):
a growing twelve acre compound in a secluded area of Wenatchee, Washington.
The church numbers have increased by six hundred in the
last two years, and only one third of the congregation
are giving like they should be. According to mcpheerson, I
want all of you to give at least ten percent.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
To me, to God, my goodness, who.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Signs up for this man. Let's end on a humorous
note here, shall we. Sasha Baron Cohen Median he's been
kind of missing in action for a while. We now
know where he's been. Apparently he has finished shooting what
he's going to be a new Alig movie.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Remember the Ali G show.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
That that was a fantastic show where you know, it's
one of Sasha Baron Cohne's characters, Ali G's, you know,
a rapper who you know conducts interviews to find out informations,
and well he ends up scoring all of these great
interviews with some pretty well known people who have no

(06:36):
clue what they're getting themselves into. Well, more of that
is apparently in the works. It's been shot now it's
just a matter again the details on when this may.
The one that I always remember is when he ambushed
the late Dick Cheney. I'd have to go back and

(06:58):
watch that episode. So yeah, if you're an OLG fan
or Sasha bar Cohen fan, know that that not only
is into works, but it looks like it's it's a
done deal and that'll be coming out sometime hopefully in
the not too distant future. Follow The Lynch and Jocko
