Here we go. Greetings, podcast 00:00:49.250 --> 00:00:52.869 land here and there and everywhere. This is the 00:00:52.869 --> 00:00:57.189 Man Church Stuff Podcast. As always, I am DJ. 00:00:57.390 --> 00:01:03.259 Oh, wait. No, I'm Brad. I'm Brad Coleman. Here 00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:08.500 with a special episode of quotes. Dr. Culp quotes 00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:13.340 part dose. Part dose. It's not a five. It's not 00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.159 a five. And by the way, podcast land. I'm here 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.040 too. I was getting there. Oh, were you? Okay. 00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:22.840 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. With my beloved brother 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:29.680 -in -law, DJ Culp. DJ, how are you doing? You 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.120 get to ask me, yeah. Man, I'm great. I just gave 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.079 my last final exam. So I have a lot of grading 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:44.739 to do, but grading, that's fine. I just gave 00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:48.180 my last final, so I'm beginning to inch my way 00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:50.900 to cloud nine. I'm not going to be on cloud nine 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:54.299 officially until I'm on Kentucky Lake with you 00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:59.519 and dad. That'll be cloud nine. Actually, I think 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.719 we have decided that we're going to name the 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:03.980 boat something like the Hillbilly Catfish Hunter. 00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:10.520 So I'll be on the Hillbilly Catfish Hunter. Not 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.240 Cloud 9. Cloud 9 is a house in Garden City Beach. 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.439 Oh, is it? Yeah, I stayed there as a kid with 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:24.189 my family. Cloud 9, nice place. Anyway, your 00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:27.770 students have very awesomely put together lots 00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:30.629 of quotes from you, more quotes than we could 00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:33.189 go through in an episode, even just with the 00:02:33.189 --> 00:02:36.550 continuation. So I have picked out some of my 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:41.909 favorites and thrown in a couple of my favorite 00:02:41.909 --> 00:02:46.530 quotes from you on a personal level. Which I 00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:51.500 think is a really neat touch, Brad. And they're 00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:57.439 just in there randomly. We'll see if you can 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.000 pick them out from the others. Which ones of 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.780 these quotes are from Brad? More than like, well, 00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:07.539 I mean, you're relatively tech savvy. So if you 00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:11.159 use the exact same format, then I won't know. 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.580 But if it's going to be like some black and white 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:17.210 Word document in, you know. Just in curry or 00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:22.530 new, it'll stand out. Yeah. I just decided this 00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:24.729 last night as I was throwing it all together. 00:03:24.990 --> 00:03:31.629 So. Yeah. We shall see. So are you ready to just 00:03:31.629 --> 00:03:33.469 get into it? Let's do it, man. Yeah. I want to 00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:36.229 know. I want to know things that I've said. All 00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:39.969 right. Dr. Kolb quotes. I think I can just click 00:03:39.969 --> 00:03:46.490 this and go to the next one. Aha. I'm all for 00:03:46.490 --> 00:03:50.610 self -depreciation. Deprecation. You know what? 00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:51.969 I'm going to say, I'm going to read it that way 00:03:51.969 --> 00:03:55.009 every time. I've read it that way every time 00:03:55.009 --> 00:03:59.110 I've read it. I mean, it's practically the same 00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:02.770 thing. I mean, I guess on a certain level, yeah, 00:04:02.889 --> 00:04:07.990 I suppose so, yeah. I am all for self -deprecation. 00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:10.810 You're being self -deprecated right now, not 00:04:10.810 --> 00:04:18.199 me. Yeah, right. Leave me alone. I mean, I don't 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.699 know when I said that, but I'm sure that I've 00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:24.379 said that to my students at least, I don't know, 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.939 two or three times. Yeah, I hold the motto that 00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:31.180 if you can't laugh about it, it's probably not 00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:36.480 worth talking about. And I'm like, you know, 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.750 if you can't laugh at DJ. Who can you laugh at? 00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:45.170 Who can you laugh at? Yeah. Yeah. If DJ can't 00:04:45.170 --> 00:04:47.750 actually replace the punchline of every joke, 00:04:47.930 --> 00:04:51.250 then the joke's probably not funny. That's another 00:04:51.250 --> 00:04:53.649 episode. We're going to use that as another episode. 00:04:54.670 --> 00:05:01.589 DJ, the punchline of jokes. In that vein, next 00:05:01.589 --> 00:05:11.710 quote. Yeah. Bad DJ slaps hand. All right. So, 00:05:11.710 --> 00:05:17.589 I don't know really, Brad, when I figured this 00:05:17.589 --> 00:05:22.649 out, but I learned at some point in my educational 00:05:22.649 --> 00:05:29.089 career, or like career as an educator, that as 00:05:29.089 --> 00:05:33.569 like a music director of some sort, if you are 00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:39.589 not going to at all Sorry, I need to start this 00:05:39.589 --> 00:05:43.050 over. As a music director, if you're going to 00:05:43.050 --> 00:05:45.910 tell people that they have done things wrong, 00:05:46.209 --> 00:05:49.449 you have to be willing to admit when you have 00:05:49.449 --> 00:05:54.470 done something wrong. What I'll do is oftentimes 00:05:54.470 --> 00:05:59.189 if I'm looking at some music, a musical score 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:01.149 or something like that, and I'm conducting, and 00:06:01.149 --> 00:06:04.370 I conduct time signature wrong, I get lost in 00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.470 the score, I miscue somebody, whatever the case 00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:11.529 is, I'll cut everybody off. And right almost 00:06:11.529 --> 00:06:14.029 even before they're completely done making sound, 00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:17.990 I'll just smack my hand and say, bad DJ, and 00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:22.500 I'll do this. Can I say that? Of course, I had 00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:25.899 read these recently. And so last night as I was 00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:32.509 doing a Bible study, I totally like. read the 00:06:32.509 --> 00:06:35.689 wrong word, which totally changed the context, 00:06:35.829 --> 00:06:37.589 had to come back and correct it. And I was like, 00:06:37.610 --> 00:06:41.329 no, no, no, no, no. And so in this vein, mimicking 00:06:41.329 --> 00:06:43.930 you, I slapped my hand and went, bad pastor Brad. 00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:48.949 Yes. Yes. They say that mimicry is the greatest 00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:52.569 form of flattery. So there you go. I'm flattered. 00:06:52.610 --> 00:07:02.500 Thank you. I was like, yeah. I had DJ. I was 00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:05.500 reading the alto part on accident and was wondering 00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:08.100 what these notes were for tenors. And then I 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:14.959 realized and was like, oh, I'm an idiot. So, 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.939 Brad, one of the things that, and you know this 00:07:18.939 --> 00:07:20.839 about me, but one of the things that I really 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:29.220 love to do is to lighten the mood. I really like 00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:37.220 to enliven a situation. And, again, and relating 00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:42.439 to the previous quote, bad DJ slaps hand, it 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.060 gives my students permission to make mistakes. 00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:49.480 Yeah, because they're going to. They're absolutely 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.620 going to. And it's not like it's a mistake, don't 00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:58.199 worry about it. But it's a mistake, and as long 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.240 as you are aware of what the mistake was, can 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.490 you correct it? And don't beat yourself up about 00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:08.410 it because it's just a mistake. This is actually 00:08:08.410 --> 00:08:10.889 kind of getting relatively deep here. But Brad, 00:08:11.069 --> 00:08:17.769 one of my favorite quotes from Beethoven. The 00:08:17.769 --> 00:08:23.189 dog? No, not the dog. The real Beethoven. The 00:08:23.189 --> 00:08:31.750 actual Beethoven. He basically says that A missed 00:08:31.750 --> 00:08:36.129 note isn't worth anything, but a missed musical 00:08:36.129 --> 00:08:40.649 opportunity is worth everything. Meaning that, 00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:42.809 like, everybody's going to miss notes, including 00:08:42.809 --> 00:08:45.990 Beethoven, right? I mean, that's really the source 00:08:45.990 --> 00:08:49.929 of so much of the wonderful music that a lot 00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:53.490 of times that we listen to either comes from 00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:58.870 Beethoven or has influence from him. But you're 00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:01.919 saying. You're saying what we have of Beethoven 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.940 is kind of his Instagram. Yeah. Best of moments. 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.019 Like this guy never writes anything that's horrible. 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.940 Never, you know, like he's just so brilliant. 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.799 It's always perfect all the time. And that that's 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.100 just not reality. Not reality. Well, you know, 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.830 it's really interesting. I remember. There's 00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:29.889 a really gorgeous – the instruments in marimba, 00:09:29.909 --> 00:09:32.029 for our listeners in bread, maybe even you don't 00:09:32.029 --> 00:09:33.529 know, but for our listeners that don't know, 00:09:33.590 --> 00:09:36.289 marimba – I do know what a marimba is. Okay, 00:09:36.350 --> 00:09:39.009 well, it's a – I've played a marimba. No way. 00:09:39.210 --> 00:09:42.529 Oh, in Africa. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. 00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:45.730 I dated a girl in high school who was in the 00:09:45.730 --> 00:09:49.049 band that she – No way, dude. And so she – in 00:09:49.049 --> 00:09:51.210 pep band, she taught me how to play some songs. 00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:54.460 So I actually played for some – some basketball 00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:57.080 games, she would let me play some of the simpler 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.500 songs. Oh my gosh! This is wonderful information. 00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.299 I had no idea. I had forgotten until you said 00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:05.960 marimba. It was like it unlocked. Oh, that's 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.360 what that thing was. Well, for listeners who 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.899 don't know, a marimba, the way I like to explain 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.759 it, is just an oversized xylophone. Anyways, 00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.919 coming back to... Makes it easier to hit. Easier 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:21.799 for Brad to not miss. I can play 6th grade, or 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.320 I could play 6th grade. Grade -level pep band 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.159 music. You're welcome. I felt very accomplished 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.419 at the time. Yes, I'm sure you did, Brad. Well, 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:36.240 there's a gorgeous marimba piece just simply 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.519 titled Wind. And the composer of it, this was 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.700 several years ago, but I found a video, a YouTube 00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:48.159 video, of the composer playing his own composition. 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:54.080 And he was missing notes. It wasn't bad. He's 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:59.159 my favorite artist now. I can't even play his 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:05.299 own piece. But that's the point. It's coming 00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:09.000 back to, oh, I'm an idiot. I understand that 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.379 I made the mistake. I understand that I want 00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:16.399 you to know that I made the mistake. I understand 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.840 that I'm putting myself at the mercy, really, 00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:22.139 of the court. But I'm getting there before the 00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:26.820 court does, right? I'm calling out my own verdict. 00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:29.159 I'm not giving you the opportunity to do that. 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:34.059 But in doing so, I'm hopefully modeling, again, 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:38.639 giving permission for my students to be okay 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.740 with taking ownership over the fact that they 00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:45.779 make mistakes. So you're saying if... That you 00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:49.019 think you're going to be perfect or play a piece 00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:52.860 perfect all the time that you just can't do it. 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.159 That's impossible. There's another quote from 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.019 good old Dr. Culp. I always want to be like Dr. 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.779 DJ. That is me. Dr. Culp is just like, that's 00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:11.720 my father. Dr. DJ. Dr. Culp is my father. I'm 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:17.149 Dr. DJ. I should go with that. You teach music 00:12:17.149 --> 00:12:19.870 for crying out loud. It is the perfect name. 00:12:20.210 --> 00:12:25.570 You were built for this. Dr. DJ. Did you have 00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:28.129 Dr. DJ? Yeah, just get rid of the cult, man. 00:12:28.250 --> 00:12:33.710 No offense. Get rid of the cult. So, I mean, 00:12:33.769 --> 00:12:37.509 that's impossible. I guess I say that a lot. 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:41.009 It's not. You can do it. Oh, you meant the quote. 00:12:41.129 --> 00:12:49.679 You were back at the quote. Oh, yes. Wrong. Okay. 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.779 I was like, no, wrong. It's wrong. Very, very 00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:58.940 all caps, exclamation point in quotation marks. 00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:05.240 Wrong. I love. So this is really funny. You have 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.720 a ruler to smack their desk. Wrong. I had a friend 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.960 in college. We all called him Steve -O, who basically. 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.740 He wanted to do a linguistics experiment, if 00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.980 you will. And we were all hanging out together, 00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:23.919 and he decided that he was going to attempt living 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.139 life. And it didn't last long, but he wanted 00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:28.860 to attempt living life doing nothing but speaking 00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:33.700 in one -word answers. That's it. So, like, he 00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:39.799 got up without saying anything and was rummaging 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.039 around the kitchen. We were like, dude, Steve, 00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:47.669 what are you doing? Drink. And we all hated the 00:13:47.669 --> 00:13:50.029 fact that he was actually pretty successful at 00:13:50.029 --> 00:13:52.250 it. Right. I mean, you follow a toddler around 00:13:52.250 --> 00:13:54.769 for a while, you can figure it out. That's exactly 00:13:54.769 --> 00:14:02.570 right. Do you want a cookie? Yeah. Milk. So the 00:14:02.570 --> 00:14:07.570 quote here, wrong, is actually my favorite line. 00:14:08.649 --> 00:14:11.230 And I mean, it really is. It's a line from the 00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:15.070 movie WALL -E. And Brad, I'm sure that you've 00:14:15.070 --> 00:14:18.649 seen Wally at least twice, right? Yeah. All right. 00:14:18.669 --> 00:14:26.149 So there's a security bot who after Wally lets 00:14:26.149 --> 00:14:30.169 – which is a hysterical scene where he inadvertently 00:14:30.169 --> 00:14:34.889 releases all of the insane robots. Like it's 00:14:34.889 --> 00:14:40.230 their psych ward when all of them just go nuts. 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.419 One of them can't control painting. And there's 00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:49.159 just this yellow line that's completely haphazard. 00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:54.000 And like the security bot sees that the yellow 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.799 line is not where it's supposed to be. And the 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.740 line is this. Wrong. My favorite line. What I 00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:07.919 love to do is I love to call out students with 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.639 the exact same line. So, again, if we're in the 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.700 middle of a rehearsal and I'll cut them off, 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.919 I'll just go, wrong. Then he throws yellow paint 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.539 at them. Then I throw yellow paint at them. That's 00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:27.179 right. I'm pretty relentless with that. Ruthless, 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:39.519 yeah. I don't know. Oops. I don't know. I'm just 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:45.279 eating a potato. I don't know. I don't know. 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:50.620 Do you think this was part of your self -defecation? 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.679 No, I have a suspicion. Like, to ask your question 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.259 again, I just... I don't know. My question is, 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:01.539 like, were you eating a... Do you usually carry 00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:05.259 potatoes to... To your class? Do you eat them 00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:10.320 raw? No. I don't know, man. I don't know. I know 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.320 I was. I mean, obviously, you said that in the 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.440 beginning of the quote. I know it's kind of like, 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.740 I don't know. I don't know. I'm just eating. 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.279 I'm guessing. I'm guessing that I was simply 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:26.179 making a point. That the person eating the potato 00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:29.919 should not be at fault. I suppose. I don't know. 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.600 If I'm eating potatoes, then DJ will consider 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.639 me innocent. I'll just keep that in mind. Just 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.419 eating a potato. I want to know more. Maybe I'm 00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:42.820 going to message your student back and be like, 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.000 hey, I need some more information on this quote 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.379 in particular. I need you to mesh it out a little 00:16:50.379 --> 00:17:07.799 more. Stupid Gar. Gar. Oh, Brad, thank you. All 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:13.519 right, listeners. So here is the story behind 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.579 Stupid Gar. It is actually a catchphrase between 00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:23.039 Brad, me, and my dad. Two years ago, we were 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.420 on a fishing trip, just like we will be next 00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:28.259 week, Brad. Two years ago, we were on a fishing 00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:32.289 trip, and Brad wasn't catching. anything caught 00:17:32.289 --> 00:17:35.789 anything all nothing nothing all day hours and 00:17:35.789 --> 00:17:40.150 hours nothing no bite no nothing and actually 00:17:40.150 --> 00:17:42.250 it was it was pretty slim pickings for me and 00:17:42.250 --> 00:17:47.089 dad as well but we were catching something so 00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:52.990 i got i got a uh i got a bite i set the hook 00:17:52.990 --> 00:17:56.069 and man there was some pull and i was excited 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.039 Until I found out that it was a gar. And I felt 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:06.460 like I had been wronged. I got this fish. And 00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:08.480 for listeners who don't go fishing, first of 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:14.380 all, gar, they are one of the top predators of 00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:18.420 freshwater fishing. And if you see gar, more 00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:20.759 than likely, you just simply need to get out 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.329 of there because... The bane of a cat fisherman's 00:18:24.329 --> 00:18:29.049 existence. Yes, they are. They are like if there 00:18:29.049 --> 00:18:32.309 are gar, chances are extremely high that there 00:18:32.309 --> 00:18:34.349 are not going to be other fish that are willing 00:18:34.349 --> 00:18:36.930 to to bite bait because they're fearing for their 00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:41.450 life. So here I am reeling in what I thought 00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:44.390 was going to be a lunker and it was a gar. And 00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:46.509 I just I just out of nowhere again, because like 00:18:46.509 --> 00:18:49.509 I have I have had an injustice served on me. 00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:54.710 And I just said, stupid Gar. And Brad was very 00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:58.210 quick, very quick to remind me. What do you mean, 00:18:58.250 --> 00:19:02.269 stupid Gar? You caught a fish. Yeah. Brad was 00:19:02.269 --> 00:19:05.970 a little angry. Probably a little hangry. Will 00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:08.369 not caught any fish. Probably need some protein. 00:19:08.769 --> 00:19:17.210 Yep. And so that has actually become a catchphrase. 00:19:17.349 --> 00:19:22.220 Stupid Gar. Thank you for that, Brad. That's 00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:27.680 great. This is probably one of my favorites. 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.019 If you hate people, get a degree in theology. 00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:38.779 This is probably one of my favorite quotes that 00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:42.839 your students gave. The anti -motivational quote? 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.539 If you hate people, get a degree in theology. 00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:51.150 I was, I was talking to you. If you want to hate 00:19:51.150 --> 00:19:56.029 people more. Yeah, that's actually true. No, 00:19:57.230 --> 00:20:06.710 we really do suck. That's right. Oh, that's good. 00:20:09.549 --> 00:20:13.549 God's going. God's willing to do all of this. 00:20:14.130 --> 00:20:19.079 Don't you see how dumb and stupid they are? Yeah. 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.940 Like we're gar. Stupid people. Stupid people. 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.299 All right. So I was having a conversation. This 00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:31.380 didn't happen actually too long ago. So I do 00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:34.220 remember the context for it. I was having a conversation 00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:37.940 with some music ed students and I was trying 00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:41.279 to explain to them or in that we were having 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.529 a conversation about like interacting with. with 00:20:45.529 --> 00:20:49.430 students and parents being a teacher um you have 00:20:49.430 --> 00:20:51.950 to love more than just your subject area because 00:20:51.950 --> 00:20:55.970 so much of your job deals with like things outside 00:20:55.970 --> 00:20:59.970 of that um and and so i don't know it was i said 00:20:59.970 --> 00:21:02.390 it flippantly but i was like in the moment i 00:21:02.390 --> 00:21:04.690 thought okay what's a degree where you basically 00:21:04.690 --> 00:21:07.849 lock yourself in a library room for the rest 00:21:07.849 --> 00:21:09.470 of your life and i'm like all right well if you 00:21:09.470 --> 00:21:11.309 hate people just go get a degree in theology 00:21:11.309 --> 00:21:18.839 you know Yeah. I mean, again, I love that quote. 00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:25.279 This one's pretty good, too. I say this with 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.119 all the love of Jesus Christ. Don't make me kill 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:37.400 you. I don't remember why I said that. Oh, yeah. 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.720 I mean, probably not because, I mean, like, you 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:41.640 know, you're probably about blanked out right 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.900 there. That's a level where you're like, this 00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:47.119 is the last warning. This is the last thing that 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.740 you get. That's right. Either you change or, 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.599 you know, or you get stabbed with my pencil. 00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.819 There's a there's a there's a there's a meme 00:21:56.819 --> 00:21:59.779 where there's this there's a guy sitting on a 00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:03.539 on like what looks like a park bench in a gorgeous 00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:06.480 garden. Right. Like real serene type of of of 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:09.720 scene here. But he's sitting with Jesus and the 00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:14.190 guy says so. All I know is that the last thing 00:22:14.190 --> 00:22:19.470 I thought was, oh, she mad mad. I'm just sitting 00:22:19.470 --> 00:22:21.089 here thinking about how good this would go on 00:22:21.089 --> 00:22:24.190 a shirt. Yeah, right. Yeah, I mean, it looks 00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:29.509 nice. It's right. Yeah, very pretty. Yeah. Fair 00:22:29.509 --> 00:22:37.470 warning. Yes, I used a semicolon correctly. You're 00:22:37.470 --> 00:22:42.759 welcome. I love writing that as a joke after 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.980 I write emails to people. If there's a semicolon 00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:50.480 that I get an opportunity to use, an opportunity 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.079 to use correctly, I'll type the body of the email. 00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:58.059 I'll have, like, I think it's best, you know, 00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.680 as my closing, and then my name, and then underneath 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.339 it I'll put, P .S., I used the semicolon correctly. 00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:08.119 You're welcome. Do you know what Brad does not 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:13.380 ever use in an email? For writing. Semicolon. 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.599 Yeah, because I struggle enough to figure out 00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.680 where to put the comma, much less like the comma 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:24.779 with extra point. And comma with an extra point, 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:32.359 yeah. What do you mean? Semicolon. I don't even 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.769 know what a colon is. Like, that doesn't sound 00:23:35.769 --> 00:23:38.329 like something in writing. No, it doesn't. Sounds 00:23:38.329 --> 00:23:41.650 like something you get checked with a doctor. 00:23:43.289 --> 00:23:48.190 Anyway, I can go find a tree and tell it what 00:23:48.190 --> 00:23:55.329 it's for. Okay, that's actually a misquote. Oh, 00:23:55.349 --> 00:24:01.410 let's correct it. Yeah. Okay, one of the things 00:24:01.410 --> 00:24:05.400 that I love telling my students. especially when 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:10.579 they're new to college, is there are going to 00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:14.000 be a lot of things, like specifically throughout 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.779 their college career, that they're going to have 00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:18.680 to do that they're not going to enjoy. I mean, 00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:22.160 writing essays, doing research papers, taking 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.420 a class that they think is dumb. I mean, just 00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:29.299 stuff like that. It's academic hoopla. Some of 00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:31.640 it – and actually I would argue that the majority 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.559 of it has a lot of validity to it. Some of it 00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:40.960 doesn't. But a lot of times what I'll tell them 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.200 is – so whenever you find yourself getting upset 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:49.160 for something like that, I mean – If you want, 00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:52.559 you can just rant and rail about it. Matter of 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.059 fact, there's tons of trees around campus that 00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:57.359 are totally willing to take what you give them. 00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.559 So, I mean, go find a tree. Chew it out, you 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.779 know? And then what I'll say is give it what 00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:05.299 for. Not tell it what it's for, but give it what 00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:09.299 for. It is possible that this was an autocorrect. 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.500 Oh, it may have been, yeah. Right. So maybe they 00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:16.819 wrote out the quote correctly. Yeah. The grammarly 00:25:16.819 --> 00:25:18.779 or whatever was like, no, you can't say it that 00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:22.380 way. Well, here's the thing. The beginning of 00:25:22.380 --> 00:25:26.660 the quote is correct because, again, what I'll 00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:28.240 tell students specifically because they know 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:30.640 that I say that is if there's something that 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.180 I don't like, I'll say, and I mean, I can hate 00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:41.700 it. I can punch the air and just stomp and throw 00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:43.559 a temper tantrum. I can go find a tree and give 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.220 it what for. But it ain't going to change anything. 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.740 Well, let me tell you what. I would prefer to 00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:52.799 go find a rock in Telewap 4 because the trees 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:59.839 always leave. Don't you mean the trees always 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.599 get the heck out of here? Yeah. That's right. 00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:08.259 This is probably one of my other favorites. Yeah, 00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:11.619 right. The Holy Spirit said you have to give 00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:16.599 me an A. Right. I love making fun, picking fun 00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:21.880 of Christianisms. I am, like, Brad, you know 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.960 me and listeners, like, hopefully you'll believe 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.039 me when I say that, like, I am all about talking 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.819 about the influence of the Holy Spirit, the leading, 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.859 the guidance, the discernment, the part of the 00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:39.599 Holy Spirit that I love the most that I would 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:46.150 love to just hear once. is the intercessory groanings 00:26:46.150 --> 00:26:51.289 that we can't even say. But I also love picking 00:26:51.289 --> 00:26:55.890 at the way that oftentimes Christianity is stereotyped. 00:26:56.190 --> 00:26:59.990 You know, like the sort of like the mystical, 00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:04.349 magical side of the Holy Spirit. When we're trying 00:27:04.349 --> 00:27:07.069 to direct God the way we want to direct God instead 00:27:07.069 --> 00:27:08.890 of listening to God. Is that what you're saying? 00:27:09.029 --> 00:27:13.279 Yeah. So I'm not going to earn an A. The Holy 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:17.579 Spirit said to give me one. God told me. God 00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:22.160 told me you're going to be my wife. I've told 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.059 my daughters about that. I was like, listen, 00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:26.539 if any guy ever walks up to you and goes, God 00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:29.059 told me you're going to be my wife, run. Run. 00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:31.990 And call me. Run. Yeah, that's exactly right. 00:27:32.089 --> 00:27:38.569 And have him call me too. Unless God is also 00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:42.630 telling you that this is going to be your husband. 00:27:44.789 --> 00:27:48.269 God's confirming it with both of you. Now we 00:27:48.269 --> 00:27:50.769 can have a conversation. Now we can have a conversation 00:27:50.769 --> 00:27:52.430 because we still want to make sure it's God. 00:27:52.890 --> 00:27:55.029 That's right. But somebody just randomly, you 00:27:55.029 --> 00:27:57.910 know, some guy's just like, yep, you're mine. 00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:02.619 Like, well, you need to talk to my daddy about 00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:06.759 that first. Yeah. No, no, you're not. So, yeah. 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.440 But getting back to the groanings. Yes. Maybe 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.140 sometimes, you know, like sometimes when you're 00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:18.259 like your stomach and stuff groans. Maybe that's 00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:21.480 it. Maybe the groanings, maybe the groanings 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:27.710 is a whole. groanings aren't like hey yeah maybe 00:28:27.710 --> 00:28:30.890 the holy spirit that's like it's like gritting 00:28:30.890 --> 00:28:34.490 your teeth and just maybe it's like the holy 00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:38.329 spirit is trying to get us like this person like 00:28:38.329 --> 00:28:43.549 dj is so ridiculously off track oh my gosh and 00:28:43.549 --> 00:28:45.809 like there's nothing else that i can say brother 00:28:45.809 --> 00:28:51.710 you know The Bible does often describe the voice 00:28:51.710 --> 00:28:59.309 of God like it was heard like thunder. For listeners 00:28:59.309 --> 00:29:01.109 that don't know, that's what thunder sounds like. 00:29:01.329 --> 00:29:06.630 Yeah. So this one confused me a little bit, but 00:29:06.630 --> 00:29:08.869 I had to put it in here. Okay. Because I do know 00:29:08.869 --> 00:29:11.029 what homestarrunner .com is. As do I. Do you 00:29:11.029 --> 00:29:14.349 know what homestarrunner .com, Chloe? The website 00:29:14.349 --> 00:29:17.259 that sells plushies? I don't know. Did you say 00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:20.339 the website that sells plushies or was that Chloe 00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:23.200 coming back? That was the question that she had. 00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.079 Okay. Okay. That's what I thought. Yeah. Because 00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:29.319 that's what made it make sense. I don't remember. 00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:33.599 Oh, no. I said it's over, which, you know, Strong 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:39.500 Bad oftentimes would end something. by going, 00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:42.400 it's over. The early days of the internet were 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:45.220 awesome. Yes, no doubt, dude. Homestar Runner. 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.940 Listeners, if you don't know Homestar Runner, 00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.220 go give them a look. HomestarRunner .com. Apparently, 00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.539 you can buy plushies now. Actually, I think that's 00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:56.740 all they sell. I think that's it. That's all 00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:59.839 they do. I don't think the website's functional 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:02.359 anymore. Dude, I wasted... You have to go back 00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:05.039 and find some YouTube videos or something. I 00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:09.400 wasted hours and hours on homestarrunner .com. 00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:17.599 Oh, my goodness. So funny. Good stuff. Oh, how'd 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:24.500 that get in there? Silly songs with Larry. So 00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:28.500 as I'm putting this together last night, I just 00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:31.880 felt like I just remembered like the song of 00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.900 the Cebu. where he's doing the slideshow, and 00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:39.640 then it gets interrupted by pictures from his 00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:44.460 vacation. And I just couldn't help but throw 00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:48.619 this in there. Larry's getting chased by the 00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:55.579 bull. Yeah, for shame. Oh, for shame. I'm trying 00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:59.599 to remember. There's an animated movie that... 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.140 I want to say that that that's where that's where 00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:09.279 like I've I've heard it used because I know that 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.859 like for shame is almost kind of like a like 00:31:11.859 --> 00:31:15.539 a Victorian literary literary term, like, you 00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:17.579 know, back in the back in the whatever you say 00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:21.019 it like that. For shame. For shame. For shame. 00:31:22.660 --> 00:31:28.140 Yeah, I just know my brethren. That's right. 00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:40.789 And quote some King James. Yes, thy didst. Again, 00:31:40.789 --> 00:31:42.710 another favorite. Of course, you can see where 00:31:42.710 --> 00:31:48.109 my favorites are playing, too. He ate with deacons 00:31:48.109 --> 00:31:51.329 and pastors. He went to conferences. Jesus was 00:31:51.329 --> 00:31:55.769 a Baptist. Hashtag things the Bible doesn't say. 00:31:55.950 --> 00:32:00.829 That's exactly right. Do you approve of my sarcasm 00:32:00.829 --> 00:32:05.009 here, Brad? Yes, very much. And again, all right. 00:32:05.009 --> 00:32:06.970 Worry about the people that would read this. 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.400 Not as sarcasm. Not as sarcasm. Exactly right. 00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:16.140 Amen, brother. If English was good enough for 00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:19.420 Paul and Silas, it's good enough for me. Yeah, 00:32:19.420 --> 00:32:22.700 well, that means you don't know any history. 00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:25.200 You're following the wrong Paul and Silas' writings 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.200 there. That's right. Peter, Paul and Mary was 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:33.200 a group of singers. That's right. Not the same 00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:38.500 Peter, Paul and Mary. That's right. That Mary, 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.819 in fact, did not kiss Bob Dylan. The Peter, Paul 00:32:41.819 --> 00:32:47.700 and Mary from the band did. So. Listeners, if 00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:49.880 if you are unfamiliar with Union, I want to do 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.529 a little a little plug here, Brad. I work at 00:32:53.529 --> 00:32:55.769 Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. Union 00:32:55.769 --> 00:32:58.470 University is affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist 00:32:58.470 --> 00:33:03.190 Convention, so therefore it is by default a Southern 00:33:03.190 --> 00:33:07.529 Baptist school. It is not a seminary. We are 00:33:07.529 --> 00:33:13.730 a top 200 U .S. World and News Report institution, 00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:18.589 so I mean high academic achieving university. 00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:24.390 Did you score 200? Were you 200 out of 200? No, 00:33:24.529 --> 00:33:26.369 we were. I'm just saying like most of the time 00:33:26.369 --> 00:33:28.009 when people were like, we were top 200, that 00:33:28.009 --> 00:33:31.049 means we were the 200th. If you scored like 99, 00:33:31.369 --> 00:33:32.869 you don't go, we were the top 200. No, we were 00:33:32.869 --> 00:33:36.789 in, I think two years ago, we were ranked 140, 00:33:38.009 --> 00:33:40.910 I think. 140, 130, something like that. We were 00:33:40.910 --> 00:33:45.410 ranked 140? Yeah, not one. No. But like that, 00:33:45.470 --> 00:33:47.970 that number one is always is always like a battle 00:33:47.970 --> 00:33:49.930 between Harvard, Yale, Brown, you know, those 00:33:49.930 --> 00:33:54.509 those Ivy League institutions. Anyways. So we're 00:33:54.509 --> 00:33:57.869 we are a like academically legit school. Yeah, 00:33:57.950 --> 00:33:59.549 it's a Christian school. So we're private and 00:33:59.549 --> 00:34:02.950 we can be academically legit. I know. I did not 00:34:02.950 --> 00:34:06.789 know. I did not know that. Which is why I love 00:34:06.789 --> 00:34:10.460 I love. teasing students with the background 00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:13.300 that they are so familiar with, you know, oftentimes 00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:18.039 and, and listeners, I, I, I don't know your stories. 00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.639 Um, but Brad, one of the things that I love doing 00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:27.000 is speaking in stereotypes because this is exactly 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.820 a stereotype, right? It's a stereo. It's a, it's 00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:34.960 a characterization of, of like the, the, the 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:39.460 insane I guess traditionalism oftentimes viewed 00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:44.260 of the church and oftentimes, unfortunately viewed 00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:47.420 of church people of the church. Right. But I 00:34:47.420 --> 00:34:51.500 love, I love speaking satirically where this 00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:54.679 is clearly false and students know that, but 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.099 they actually understand that there's an element 00:34:58.099 --> 00:35:01.920 of truth in it. And, and so, yeah, it's, it's 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:06.809 really fun to, to, to speak like, you know, ironically 00:35:06.809 --> 00:35:09.510 like this with the students and watch them laugh 00:35:09.510 --> 00:35:12.789 and get it and be like, oh, yeah, I guess it 00:35:12.789 --> 00:35:17.170 is kind of dumb that people think that. And sometimes 00:35:17.170 --> 00:35:19.610 I think it's great to just call it out so that 00:35:19.610 --> 00:35:22.110 people see how stupid it is. Yes. When you've 00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:24.590 said something like this and that helps them 00:35:24.590 --> 00:35:27.809 realize some of the maybe lesser things, because 00:35:27.809 --> 00:35:30.650 this is to the extreme. Yeah. Right. That we 00:35:30.650 --> 00:35:37.389 take and we kind of almost make sacred. There's 00:35:37.389 --> 00:35:42.030 got to be coffee somewhere on Sunday morning, 00:35:42.110 --> 00:35:45.309 which I agree that should be something that we 00:35:45.309 --> 00:35:48.610 do. I do too. But it's not as much as I want 00:35:48.610 --> 00:35:52.829 it to be. It's not a sacred thing. If you don't 00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:54.750 have coffee in your church, oh my goodness, what 00:35:54.750 --> 00:35:56.590 are you doing? I mean, you're not going against 00:35:56.590 --> 00:35:59.010 the Lord. Yeah, it's not a sacred tenet of the 00:35:59.010 --> 00:36:02.030 church. It is a sacred tenet of Brad. That's 00:36:02.030 --> 00:36:07.170 right, and of DJ. It should be coffee. Went to 00:36:07.170 --> 00:36:11.289 a wedding just recently. This is like the second 00:36:11.289 --> 00:36:13.190 or third wedding. We're at the reception. I was 00:36:13.190 --> 00:36:15.309 like, hey, is there some coffee? And they said 00:36:15.309 --> 00:36:18.090 no. And this place didn't even have a coffee 00:36:18.090 --> 00:36:22.349 pot. Oh, my gosh. I'm like, what is wrong with 00:36:22.349 --> 00:36:25.050 you people? I didn't say that. Why is the reception 00:36:25.050 --> 00:36:29.610 here? I sent my token extrovert, my wife, Tabby, 00:36:29.690 --> 00:36:34.380 to ask. But yeah, when she came back and told 00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:36.739 me, I was like, this is what I would like to 00:36:36.739 --> 00:36:40.039 say to those people. What kind of establishment 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:43.619 are you running here when you don't have coffee? 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.440 If you're going to have a wedding reception, 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.400 if you're going to do those things and you have 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:51.639 all these drinks, for the love of Brad and DJ, 00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:56.070 have coffee. Have coffee. Doesn't even have to 00:36:56.070 --> 00:36:59.409 be fancy coffee. Just have some coffee. It's 00:36:59.409 --> 00:37:03.730 drinkable. Not if you're a wedding. No, no, no, 00:37:03.809 --> 00:37:07.530 Brad. No. You know, we get the fancy and the 00:37:07.530 --> 00:37:11.409 not fancy. All right, let's go on. Yep, move 00:37:11.409 --> 00:37:15.869 on. I'm not here banging out C octaves on the 00:37:15.869 --> 00:37:18.349 piano thinking about the fact that I walked down 00:37:18.349 --> 00:37:20.670 to the convenience store getting a Snickers bar 00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:26.179 and then forgetting to get gas. That's very specific. 00:37:27.179 --> 00:37:30.380 It's highly specific. All right. So here's the 00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:36.260 story behind that. I was conducting from the 00:37:36.260 --> 00:37:40.099 piano, which I never do because I'm not a pianist 00:37:40.099 --> 00:37:42.679 by any means, but I was conducting from the piano. 00:37:42.860 --> 00:37:45.119 You probably shouldn't conduct from it if you're 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:49.420 not a pianist. But it was a piece, Brad, that 00:37:49.420 --> 00:37:53.630 all I'll say is this. It was experimental. That's 00:37:53.630 --> 00:37:57.690 it. Don't ask how. Don't ask why. I don't want 00:37:57.690 --> 00:37:59.650 to know because you'll probably tell me. No, 00:37:59.650 --> 00:38:03.429 I won't. I really won't. But music majors had 00:38:03.429 --> 00:38:07.389 a hard time understanding or wrapping their minds 00:38:07.389 --> 00:38:09.929 around kind of the purpose of the piece. But 00:38:09.929 --> 00:38:14.010 my role was to simply bang out octave C's on 00:38:14.010 --> 00:38:16.510 the piano the whole time. That's it. And right 00:38:16.510 --> 00:38:21.420 now, you just simply need to accept that. I'm 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:23.460 accepting that even though I don't really even 00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:26.260 know what that means. That's fair. I was trying 00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:29.920 to get students to understand that for this piece 00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.780 of music to actually work, we can't be mindless 00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:37.659 about it. And that's when I threw in, I'm not 00:38:37.659 --> 00:38:40.340 over here banging out C octaves on the piano 00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:42.380 thinking about the fact that I walked down to 00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:43.820 the convenience store getting a Snickers bar 00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:47.179 and then, oh, yeah, realizing I forgot to get 00:38:47.179 --> 00:38:52.340 gas. I'm not mindlessly over here, completely 00:38:52.340 --> 00:38:55.440 separated what I'm doing from what you're doing. 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:58.920 Was that a personal experience? No. Or were you 00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.679 picking on Shara? Did Shara do that? No. Shara 00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:04.760 go down to the gas station and forget to get 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.079 gas because she went and got a Snickers? No, 00:39:07.099 --> 00:39:09.340 but Brad, so when you asked that question, that 00:39:09.340 --> 00:39:11.800 made me think of something that you need to know. 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.960 I'm sure that you've probably heard this. I can't 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:21.219 imagine that you haven't. Listeners, we're going 00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:26.780 on a tangent here. That's why they listen to 00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:29.320 our show. That's right, yeah. My wife and I, 00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:35.280 we decided before we had kids that we wanted 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.599 two children. God said, yeah, that's what you 00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:43.840 think. And we had a third. She is amazing. Oh, 00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:47.300 she is, dude. Little Zoe is amazing. And we are 00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:50.460 so close, dude. So close to being done with potty 00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:53.420 training. Anyways. And anytime she needs a tookie. 00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:57.380 Anytime she needs a tookie. It's adorable, isn't 00:39:57.380 --> 00:40:01.420 it? Uncle B will give it to her after Aunt Babby 00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:04.699 explains what she's asking for. That's right. 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:13.500 So, Brad, the last, the final, OB -GYN appointment 00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:15.639 that Cher had. I guess it's an OB appointment. 00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:20.019 But like all of the doctor visits that women 00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:23.840 go to when they're pregnant. The last one, her 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:29.619 water broke because of that appointment. So immediately 00:40:29.619 --> 00:40:33.559 her body went into labor. Wow. We're not used 00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:37.059 to this. That wasn't supposed to happen here. 00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:43.510 Get out. Hurry. We don't do that. The whatever 00:40:43.510 --> 00:40:45.309 position, I'll say the nurse, I don't know what 00:40:45.309 --> 00:40:50.110 the position was, that was with her. She went, 00:40:50.250 --> 00:40:54.690 uh -oh, I didn't mean to do that. And she said 00:40:54.690 --> 00:40:58.690 to Sharon, well, you're going to need to go to 00:40:58.690 --> 00:41:01.269 the hospital. And Sharon knew exactly. I was 00:41:01.269 --> 00:41:03.670 right. Hurry, get out of here. We don't deal 00:41:03.670 --> 00:41:05.949 with this. We'll just get you up to that point. 00:41:07.659 --> 00:41:09.920 Shara drove herself to the hospital. Now, why 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:12.260 am I saying all of this based upon this? When 00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:14.900 you said, is this a, you know, is the walk down 00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:16.980 to the convenience store to get a sticker bar 00:41:16.980 --> 00:41:20.119 if you didn't get gas? On the way to the hospital, 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.119 Shara, because this is our third kid, she knows 00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:26.059 how all of this works. She said, or she thought 00:41:26.059 --> 00:41:27.500 to herself, well, I know I'm not going to get 00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:30.840 anything to eat once I get there. So I probably 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.139 need to stop and get a snack while in labor. 00:41:34.460 --> 00:41:40.250 Yes, I love it. In labor. And again, I know this 00:41:40.250 --> 00:41:43.409 just solidifies to me so much. The Shara is my 00:41:43.409 --> 00:41:48.349 people, right? Because dude, dude, she doesn't 00:41:48.349 --> 00:41:53.469 just stop. Country Kentucky lady. She stops at 00:41:53.469 --> 00:41:55.530 a gas station, but not just any gas station, 00:41:55.630 --> 00:42:03.269 a ghetto gas station in labor. Listen, nobody's 00:42:03.269 --> 00:42:06.340 going to mess. Walks in and gets one Milky Way. 00:42:06.420 --> 00:42:10.019 That's it. One. She didn't she didn't stop. We 00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:14.039 wanted to buy the whole box. I mean, I mean, 00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:15.360 yeah, that might have made the story a little 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.199 more interesting. Listen, DJ, no matter how ghetto 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:24.239 you are, nobody gonna mess with a pregnant in 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:29.719 labor Kentucky country girl. That's right. In 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:34.820 the words of Mr. T, I pity the fool. Yeah, that's 00:42:34.820 --> 00:42:38.920 right, dude. All right. And let me tell you how 00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:44.159 boss level that Shira gets. My candy bar. That's 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.019 right, that Shira gets. I'm sorry, ma 'am. You 00:42:46.019 --> 00:42:49.039 just go ahead. Just take it. She walks in. She 00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.199 gets a Diet Coke. She gets a Diet Coke and a 00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:55.760 Milky Way. She waits in line. She pays as if 00:42:55.760 --> 00:43:00.119 nothing's wrong. And she's like, her body's starting 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:01.480 to have contractions. Her water's already broke. 00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:06.960 It's not going to break again. So her body starts 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.880 to have contractions. She gets back in the car. 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.300 She drives herself to the hospital. She's having 00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:16.880 contractions on and off on the way to the hospital. 00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:20.679 When she gets there, she walks herself in and 00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:24.360 actually has to stop, I think, twice to allow 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:26.849 her body to, like, have a contraction get over 00:43:26.849 --> 00:43:29.309 it so like and then she just delivered the baby 00:43:29.309 --> 00:43:31.789 on her own and showed it to the doctor when he 00:43:31.789 --> 00:43:36.429 came in it's a girl yeah you did that already 00:43:36.429 --> 00:43:39.630 but hey yeah seriously like boss level boss oh 00:43:39.630 --> 00:43:42.409 yeah no way no respect for you shara i mean i 00:43:42.409 --> 00:43:44.590 already have mad respect for you but i have like 00:43:44.590 --> 00:43:49.090 even more mad respect for you now yeah all right 00:43:49.090 --> 00:43:51.389 brad let's move on yeah i mean abscess thinking 00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:55.440 I just love saying that. It's fun. Abs so stinking 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.679 lutely. It really is. Just have a good emphasis. 00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:06.679 Yep. When the elitist needs someone to make them 00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.679 feel good about their money, I am not your guy. 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:12.480 I couldn't care less about how much money you 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:17.159 have. It's one of the things I like about you, 00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:20.860 DJ. I know. Doesn't matter how poor I am. You 00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:26.099 don't care. Don't care. I don't care. I don't 00:44:26.099 --> 00:44:29.320 care. You'll still have no sympathy for me when 00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.960 we're fishing. No, I won't. All right. So, Brad, 00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:42.320 I don't remember how it came up, but I was basically 00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.099 explaining to my students that I would not make 00:44:46.099 --> 00:44:49.440 a very good administrator. Because administrators 00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:54.619 have to go ask people for their money knowing 00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:57.440 that the people that they're asking are rich. 00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:02.260 And then they have to schmooze on them. If you 00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:04.619 come asking me for a big million -dollar donation, 00:45:05.019 --> 00:45:07.539 man, I'd be glad to give that to you. You'd get 00:45:07.539 --> 00:45:10.260 all excited. But I ain't got it. Yeah, I just 00:45:10.260 --> 00:45:12.000 don't have it, man. Sorry. You're barking up 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:19.829 the wrong tree. Right. I just – I hate the idea 00:45:19.829 --> 00:45:24.190 of – and I could be so wrong because, again, 00:45:24.309 --> 00:45:29.389 I've never sat in this seat. But, like, I can 00:45:29.389 --> 00:45:37.329 definitely – Brad, you can attest to this. My 00:45:37.329 --> 00:45:41.590 face talks before I do. Your sister has that 00:45:41.590 --> 00:45:45.110 same issue. Yeah. And so I can only imagine. 00:45:45.389 --> 00:45:47.329 When you have a face like mine, you don't have 00:45:47.329 --> 00:45:50.289 to worry as much about that. That's true. It 00:45:50.289 --> 00:45:52.989 just looks the same. People can drop the big, 00:45:53.070 --> 00:45:55.409 and do sometimes, like the hardest, biggest, 00:45:55.489 --> 00:45:59.969 crazy things on me. And I'm like, oh, okay. Go 00:45:59.969 --> 00:46:04.409 on. So I can only imagine, Brad, that if I'm 00:46:04.409 --> 00:46:09.070 having a conversation with somebody who's filthy 00:46:09.070 --> 00:46:11.329 rich and they know it and they want me to know 00:46:11.329 --> 00:46:14.789 it, And it gets to the point in the conversation 00:46:14.789 --> 00:46:18.949 where I'm about to ask them for money, but they 00:46:18.949 --> 00:46:23.889 need some schmoozing. I can only imagine, like, 00:46:24.030 --> 00:46:27.449 my facial expression beginning to show, wait 00:46:27.449 --> 00:46:32.570 a minute. You want me to, like, brown nose you 00:46:32.570 --> 00:46:36.969 right now? Yeah. This ain't happening, man. Like, 00:46:36.969 --> 00:46:40.429 I'm not your guy. When you've got to go past 00:46:40.429 --> 00:46:44.050 this expression, though, that I have, it doesn't 00:46:44.050 --> 00:46:46.690 work. It's not a very good smooth face. It's 00:46:46.690 --> 00:46:49.949 a very good dealing with people face when they're 00:46:49.949 --> 00:46:53.170 dropping bad news or heavy stuff. Or if they're 00:46:53.170 --> 00:46:55.050 trying to sell you something, I just be quiet. 00:46:56.150 --> 00:46:59.429 And people start giving me little discounts and 00:46:59.429 --> 00:47:03.889 stuff. I'm like, OK, well, I was going to say, 00:47:04.010 --> 00:47:06.409 OK, deal. But if you want to just keep dropping 00:47:06.409 --> 00:47:10.539 money off. But I am so not perceptive of the 00:47:10.539 --> 00:47:16.179 way that my face is. I feel like the way that 00:47:16.179 --> 00:47:19.619 I feel is written all over my face. No, dude. 00:47:19.619 --> 00:47:21.920 If I'm nervous or if I'm anxious or if I'm happy 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.179 or whatever, I feel like it's all over my face. 00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:27.280 No, dude. Most of the time, your stoicism is 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.099 like a brick wall. And I've told Tabby this, 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:34.579 too. I don't know if I just notice. I don't know 00:47:34.579 --> 00:47:37.139 if it's a spiritual gift that God gave me. I 00:47:37.139 --> 00:47:39.710 don't know. you can read to me you can read so 00:47:39.710 --> 00:47:42.989 much through people's eyes like like to me it's 00:47:42.989 --> 00:47:46.329 just it's almost like i can just read not their 00:47:46.329 --> 00:47:49.409 mind but like so much of their emotions and what 00:47:49.409 --> 00:47:51.110 they're feeling and all that through just their 00:47:51.110 --> 00:47:55.849 eyes and and so like for me i automatically go 00:47:55.849 --> 00:47:58.869 so so people want to see that people are going 00:47:58.869 --> 00:48:02.530 to see that in me and uh yeah apparently it's 00:48:02.530 --> 00:48:06.300 not the case Do you want to know whether I'm 00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:08.300 happy or not? I absolutely wear it on my sleeve. 00:48:08.300 --> 00:48:10.059 I wear it most of the time, actually. I wear 00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:11.599 it on my sleeve. I look like this, but I'm pretty 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.679 happy. I'm also pretty anxious, usually. Usually 00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:20.420 worried about something. Yeah. All right. We're 00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:24.320 reading everything chromatic, baby. I don't want 00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:26.559 you to explain this to me. I was sharing these 00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:28.420 with your sister, and she started to explain 00:48:28.420 --> 00:48:30.909 it to me, and I was like, no, no, no. stop i 00:48:30.909 --> 00:48:33.449 i i don't want but i'm sure i was like i'm sure 00:48:33.449 --> 00:48:35.730 it's something music people would understand 00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:39.570 it is music people i all i can think of is i 00:48:39.570 --> 00:48:43.789 maybe i said this in maybe i said this in in 00:48:43.789 --> 00:48:46.429 a in like a music theory class and that became 00:48:46.429 --> 00:48:49.989 that came up like i don't know i don't know you 00:48:49.989 --> 00:48:59.539 never think chromatic baby yeah who knows I'm 00:48:59.539 --> 00:49:01.820 sorry. I had to remember where I was because 00:49:01.820 --> 00:49:07.800 I was eating turkey last week. I don't know. 00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:12.019 I don't either, but I want to find a way to use 00:49:12.019 --> 00:49:18.579 that. I guess after Thanksgiving is generally 00:49:18.579 --> 00:49:22.440 probably when this was. I still know. I don't 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:26.280 know. I got nothing, man. Right after Thanksgiving 00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.260 is my favorite time because I get to use one 00:49:28.260 --> 00:49:34.460 of my favorite dad jokes of all time. Okay. It's 00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:38.320 just, it's like, I like to tell people, just 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:40.699 be careful with your leftovers because, you know, 00:49:40.820 --> 00:49:49.219 it's hard to quit cold turkey. And it's actually 00:49:49.219 --> 00:49:55.559 true because, dude, cold turkey. is so good i 00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:59.780 know it's it's one of like like i get so many 00:49:59.780 --> 00:50:02.880 people to roll their eyes at me i use that usually 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.860 usually at some point with people during our 00:50:05.860 --> 00:50:09.440 like community thanksgiving because they're carrying 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:11.159 out leftovers like hey be careful with those 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:16.079 it's hard to quit cold turkey and i mean it's 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.480 like like i feel so accomplished because i even 00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:20.780 get old people to roll their eyes at me Like, 00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:23.239 I get my teenagers in pre -teen to roll their 00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:26.800 eyes at me, like, daily. But to get older senior 00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:31.639 adults to roll their eyes, I mean, that's – I 00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:33.920 feel accomplished. I feel like I've done something. 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:43.079 Subtext. Huh? Huh? Huh? I don't know. Maybe you 00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.019 need to do it because I'm, like, not very good 00:50:45.019 --> 00:50:49.300 at impressions. I'm guessing – I don't know. 00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:53.539 But I'm guessing that I was just being silly. 00:50:54.460 --> 00:51:00.440 And I think maybe something went like, I don't 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:05.340 know, somebody being stupid and then you get 00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:12.719 to go subtext. Huh? I don't know. I really don't. 00:51:13.139 --> 00:51:16.260 But I can definitely see myself saying that. 00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:24.900 I appreciate your rebellion. Good job. I love 00:51:24.900 --> 00:51:27.519 this quote. We should have had this for the Star 00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:36.219 Wars episode. Right, yeah. Tell all the rebels 00:51:36.219 --> 00:51:39.940 I appreciate your rebellion. I had a student 00:51:39.940 --> 00:51:49.150 who was trying to finagle away. around at like 00:51:49.150 --> 00:51:52.210 an assignment or a test or something. And they 00:51:52.210 --> 00:51:54.369 were trying to, they were trying to create a 00:51:54.369 --> 00:51:59.469 loophole to where I could not be, I could not 00:51:59.469 --> 00:52:03.409 be, um, how do I say it? They were trying to 00:52:03.409 --> 00:52:05.250 create a loophole to where I could not grade 00:52:05.250 --> 00:52:07.869 them the way I wanted to. And they would be right. 00:52:08.510 --> 00:52:11.329 And, and I just came right back at them with, 00:52:11.409 --> 00:52:13.110 no, you can't do that. And I explained, then 00:52:13.110 --> 00:52:15.730 I said, but I do appreciate your rebellion. Good 00:52:15.730 --> 00:52:21.409 job. And I feel like you got to do that with 00:52:21.409 --> 00:52:24.409 your kids sometimes. The answer is still no. 00:52:24.829 --> 00:52:27.710 But I do appreciate your rebellion. And I probably 00:52:27.710 --> 00:52:33.909 wouldn't use the word rebellion. But I have told 00:52:33.909 --> 00:52:36.789 them, like, hey, I appreciate you thinking that 00:52:36.789 --> 00:52:40.409 through. And I appreciate your argument and all 00:52:40.409 --> 00:52:42.750 of that. I mean, the answer is still no. But 00:52:42.750 --> 00:52:45.909 I do want you to know that it makes me proud. 00:52:46.650 --> 00:52:50.690 Like you saw this through and you came and gave 00:52:50.690 --> 00:52:52.969 a present. Because sometimes Carrie Beth will 00:52:52.969 --> 00:52:55.409 just have a presentation. Like she'll do like 00:52:55.409 --> 00:52:59.289 this. Are you serious? Whatever their version 00:52:59.289 --> 00:53:03.630 of PowerPoint is. Google Slides. This is why 00:53:03.630 --> 00:53:07.269 sometimes there's even song and dance. She doesn't 00:53:07.269 --> 00:53:08.829 let us record them. She's like, you'll share 00:53:08.829 --> 00:53:13.750 it. Yeah. Yes, we will. Brad, you need to secretly 00:53:13.750 --> 00:53:16.800 record one and let me see it. Yeah. So, I mean, 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:20.139 but, but again, makes good arguments and, and 00:53:20.139 --> 00:53:23.960 then sometimes, you know, we've said, you know, 00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:27.760 yeah. Sometimes the answer is still no. Nope. 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.300 Thank you. Thanks for your, you know, your rebellion. 00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:34.719 Good job. That's funny. So Brad, I know we're 00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:37.139 getting close to. Oh yes. We've just got two 00:53:37.139 --> 00:53:44.230 more slides. And here's one of my favorite quotes 00:53:44.230 --> 00:53:48.489 from DJ, and I just pooped myself. I have the 00:53:48.489 --> 00:53:50.809 audio file, but it wouldn't let me embed it in 00:53:50.809 --> 00:53:55.070 here. No, but you can play it and play it into 00:53:55.070 --> 00:54:01.969 your microphone. Let's see. And I just pooped 00:54:01.969 --> 00:54:05.309 myself. And I just pooped myself. And I just 00:54:05.309 --> 00:54:09.969 pooped myself. And I just pooped myself. It's 00:54:09.969 --> 00:54:15.289 on a loop. So what game were we playing, Brad? 00:54:16.710 --> 00:54:20.949 I forget what it's called. I was trying to see. 00:54:21.389 --> 00:54:23.690 And I want you to know that because you immediately 00:54:23.690 --> 00:54:27.909 said, I forget what it's called, you blew the 00:54:27.909 --> 00:54:31.090 opportunity to deny that we were playing a game. 00:54:31.210 --> 00:54:34.489 Yeah, I know. But yeah, we were playing a game. 00:54:34.510 --> 00:54:36.230 We were playing a game and you pooped yourself. 00:54:37.429 --> 00:54:41.909 I remember the pooped yourself part, DJ. I remember 00:54:41.909 --> 00:54:50.170 that Brad had this as his submission. And I think 00:54:50.170 --> 00:54:52.809 I want to say, like, I wouldn't read it. And 00:54:52.809 --> 00:54:54.809 you were like, go ahead, read it, DJ. You have 00:54:54.809 --> 00:54:56.949 to read it. You got to read it. And I saw out 00:54:56.949 --> 00:54:58.429 of the corner of your eye that you pulled out 00:54:58.429 --> 00:54:59.690 your phone. I was like, all right, well, this 00:54:59.690 --> 00:55:02.010 is going to happen. So I'll go ahead and say 00:55:02.010 --> 00:55:05.769 it. That'll give him the satisfaction. It's become 00:55:05.769 --> 00:55:10.710 one of Brad's favorite. I forget about it. And 00:55:10.710 --> 00:55:13.150 every once in a while, it'll rotate up into my, 00:55:13.309 --> 00:55:16.170 you know, how your phone will give you like on 00:55:16.170 --> 00:55:19.070 this day or, hey, here's some old stuff. Yeah, 00:55:19.070 --> 00:55:21.230 right. And every time it does, it just makes 00:55:21.230 --> 00:55:24.289 me so happy. Here's what people need to know 00:55:24.289 --> 00:55:27.829 about me. If you're playing a game with me and 00:55:27.829 --> 00:55:32.030 I get bored and I can't stop the game, I will 00:55:32.030 --> 00:55:36.980 make the game more fun for myself. at the expense 00:55:36.980 --> 00:55:41.960 of others if necessary. And so, you know, I'm 00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:44.460 getting bored in this game. It's taking too long, 00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:48.000 but I'm like, Hey, I get to write down something 00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:51.679 and they got to read it off. Yep. And I was like, 00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:56.019 this is true. This is absolutely perfect. So, 00:55:56.019 --> 00:55:58.900 yeah. So last but not least, and I thought it's 00:55:58.900 --> 00:56:00.599 appropriate. There's this thing called time. 00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:06.500 And we're out of it. And we're out of it. There 00:56:06.500 --> 00:56:12.039 were more. I encourage your students to continue 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:17.219 to share. You know, I picked out the ones that 00:56:17.219 --> 00:56:19.699 I mean, like, seriously, the first time I think 00:56:19.699 --> 00:56:23.440 there were like about 20. This time, I think 00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:26.360 there was like 50. Yeah. I knew there were a 00:56:26.360 --> 00:56:31.519 lot. And all over the gambit. So I encourage 00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:35.079 them to keep doing that, keep submitting them. 00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:39.639 We'd love to do another episode. I picked ones 00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:42.179 that I thought, one, were my favorites, but also 00:56:42.179 --> 00:56:44.739 ones that, you know, I threw in the Chromatics 00:56:44.739 --> 00:56:46.219 baby, because I was like, I don't really know 00:56:46.219 --> 00:56:50.409 what this means, but I'm sure. Looks like some 00:56:50.409 --> 00:56:52.849 of the listeners. Dude, I actually have several, 00:56:52.869 --> 00:56:55.190 several students who routinely listen to the 00:56:55.190 --> 00:56:57.789 show. And I'd like to actually I'd like to take 00:56:57.789 --> 00:57:00.630 an opportunity to give them a shout out. Shout 00:57:00.630 --> 00:57:06.510 out to Macy and Avery and Josiah. Let's see. 00:57:06.550 --> 00:57:08.329 Who else do I know that listens to the show? 00:57:09.230 --> 00:57:11.849 Shout out to Maddie Grace. If she if she does 00:57:11.849 --> 00:57:16.159 listen. And she, if I understand right, is the 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:17.960 one that put together the slides. She is, yes. 00:57:18.260 --> 00:57:20.119 She's the one that sent them to me. So all of 00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.239 these pretty pictures and things you do. And 00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:25.300 I, unfortunately, with the program I used, some 00:57:25.300 --> 00:57:28.420 of them were cropped quite a bit. But she put 00:57:28.420 --> 00:57:33.260 that together. Very, very awesome. Took the time. 00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:36.699 I didn't do any of it. So all this pretty cool, 00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:40.880 nifty stuff that you saw, I just. I copied it 00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.699 and pasted it into another document. Yeah. So 00:57:45.699 --> 00:57:50.659 good job, Manny. Well, it's flattering to me. 00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:53.739 I love teaching my students, Brad. I really do. 00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:58.199 I've got great students at Union. They love the 00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:05.480 Lord. They love each other. And I love getting 00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:10.099 to see them start to fully understand. you know, 00:58:10.099 --> 00:58:13.000 the career path that they're moving into. So, 00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:17.900 yeah. Here's the good and the bad, DJ. The good 00:58:17.900 --> 00:58:22.539 news is they're listening to you. And the bad 00:58:22.539 --> 00:58:25.320 news is they're listening to you. They're listening 00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:31.000 to me. Yeah. All right. Well, we got to wrap 00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:33.719 this show up. And I guess since I started it, 00:58:33.780 --> 00:58:35.940 I should get into it. Yeah, go ahead, man. So, 00:58:36.059 --> 00:58:39.079 hey, everybody, you know, like us and subscribe 00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:42.239 to us and all that good jazz.

I think DJ says it's like 00:58:47.900 --> 00:58:50.039 right here somewhere, but it could be over here. 00:58:50.139 --> 00:58:53.489 I don't know. Somewhere. I mean, you should be 00:58:53.489 --> 00:58:55.929 able to see it. There's like a like and subscribe 00:58:55.929 --> 00:58:58.550 button or ring a bell or something. I don't know. 00:58:59.070 --> 00:59:02.469 I'm not YouTube savvy. Ring a bell. Go ring a 00:59:02.469 --> 00:59:06.550 bell. Say some good stuff about us. Ask ChatGTP 00:59:06.550 --> 00:59:11.150 how awesome we are. Oh, yes. All that stuff. 00:59:11.409 --> 00:59:14.849 But we want you to know that we love you.
