The law of Moses was unable to save us because
of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God
did what the law could not do. He sent his own
son in a body like the bodies we sinners have.
And in that body, God declared an end to sin's
control over us by giving his son as a sacrifice
for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement
of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who
no longer follow our sinful nature, but instead
follow the Spirit. Hello, everyone. Welcome to
Bumper Sticker Wisdom. Jason. I'm John. So good
to have you back, brother. What's up, buddy?
How you been? It's been like a month of Sundays,
as my dad would say. It's been a minute, but
we're back in weeks. Three straight weeks, yeah.
But there's been any number of different issues
and things that popped up over the last few weeks.
Last week would have been the end of it, but
it was a holiday. That throws any number of other
obstacles in the pathway. And so it was like,
eh, we'll just do it this way. Might take me
a minute to get in the groove. Yeah, right. Might
take me a minute to get in the groove. It just
might. You never know. May not. I'll say this.
I appreciate Terry coming out, but it's not the
same. Yeah. Anybody who comes out, like it's...
It's cool, and I appreciate it, and we do a good,
I feel like a good show. And it changes the dynamic
a little bit, but it's not bumper sticker wisdom.
No. It's just not the same. It's not the same.
No. So what'd I miss? What'd I miss? Like, fill
me in on some of the stuff y 'all talked about.
Man, we talked about surrender and struggling
with the surrendering. In a lot of different
situations, we talked about, I think last week,
no, it was the week before, we watched this video
from Ben Mathias. You've probably seen him before.
Oh, I know you have because you shared one of
his videos with me. It's a Polynesian guy, and
he plays three different roles, and he's talking
about the guy that came to church, the druggie
that came to church or whatever. Anyway, we talked
about that and just our comfort. Who is it? Ben?
Matthias, M -E -T -I -A -S or something like
that. You shared it with me on TikTok. He's actually
not doing full videos on TikTok right now because
of some creator crap he voiced his concerns about.
Now all of his full content is on YouTube only.
But anyway, we talked a lot about like... Taking
with us what we learn outside of this dude passed
away. Who? This dude, Ben Matthias. He's still
posting. Yeah. Ben Matthias funeral. No way,
bro. Don't. Are you serious? Dude. Yeah. Like
every video he has, it says details about Ben
Matthias funeral. Okay, click. Ben Mattias funeral.
Ben Mattias funeral. What happened to Ben Mattias?
Dude, and then here's the rest in peace thing.
That's probably why he's not. That's not the
same guy. Huh? That's not who I'm thinking of.
Scroll down. Let me see his videos. Let me see
it. That is him. He's dead? Dude, don't do that
to me. Come on, man. Fake news, please. Really?
I mean. What a way to. What a way to find out,
huh? Yeah, this one says details about Ben Mateus'
funeral. Maybe it's just a bunch of crap, but
I mean. He died on the 1st of October, he was
17. That's not the same person. Let's just see
what this is. This is what happened to Ben. Maybe
it's, maybe, I don't know. I wish I could see
a date. Okay. Goodness gracious. Okay. This is
IMDB. Yeah. It's pretty popular. Yeah. It's going
to throw my whole vibe off. Well, Is it? I can't
tell, man. Is the dude still with us or not?
He's Filipino. It says death in the family. That's
going to be a video of him, isn't it? I don't
know. Dude, that's crazy. We'll have to do some...
We'll have to do some... Research here. I think
maybe. Oh, man, I don't know. Dude, that sure
does. Born in the Philippines. Oh, no, he was
59. That's not the same guy, right? There's no
way, dude. Anyway. I feel bad now because I don't
want to be spreading. I don't want to spread
false news or whatever, and I don't want to be
the guy that's like, oh, man, this dude's dead.
But I thought I really, I mean, let's do this.
Let's go to TikTok because he's still releasing
content on TikTok. Check it out. But I don't
know if all this stuff was. Mulan, Mulan. What?
Mulan, Mulan started falling on you. Mulan, Mulan.
Let's see. You see like the most recent. 511,
519. 5 -21? That's last week. Or is that last
year? This one? Surely it's last week. Why do
you think you're a mess up? Yeah, 5 -21. It would
say 5 -21 -25 if it was last year's. I think
he's not gone. Wait, wait, wait. Go back, go
back, go back. Darn it. Dude, it had the thing
talking about the creator thing. Oh, I just saw
this earlier. We're not showing all that. Dude,
that's funny, though. She flips that chicken
nugget in her mouth and dips it in another sauce.
Look, she's holding the sauces. Okay, hold on.
You've got to see this. You've got to see this.
That is some world -class fatty stuff right there.
Rewind it. You've got to watch it from the beginning.
Just watch how she does this. Barbecue sauce
and honey. And did you see the smile on her face?
She's like, ah, yeah. Play past this one. I think
I've watched this whole thing. What, this? Yeah.
The one after this, I think, is a good one. Pepsi
in a Coke box. To go catch -ups. Okay. Oh, that
one is good. Pizza. Watch. Yeah. That's snacking
at its best right there. That's when you know
you got big back tendencies right there. Okay.
Sorry. I don't know where the hell we're at.
All right. You already exited out of that. It
was this. Why do you think you're a mess up?
Due to TikTok, I'm out of the community program
for unoriginal content. All my full -length videos
will be on YouTube. Thank you. I hope you understand.
Okay, so I need to go to YouTube and see what
his most recent posting is. The reason I brought
him up is there was a video where he was talking
about that junkie video where he was talking
about. Anyway, there was a few things that stood
out to me in that video. And one of them being
that, you know, he said that. Three of you went
into that church that day, but only one of you
understood, you know, why those doors were open.
And the other two of you felt comfortable enough
when you left there to judge him. You know what
I mean? Like, this man was in there for help.
You know, so I don't care how clean he was or
how clean he wasn't. You know what I'm saying?
And, like, I feel like. It's like you don't go
to the doctor when you're healthy. You go to
the doctor because you're sick. Exactly. 100%.
The same reason you go to God. You go to God
because you're trying to get better. You're trying
to. And every single day, I go back to him after
every single day that I make massive mistakes.
You know what I'm saying? Every single day. And
so I feel like that's three hours ago. Five days
ago. This is three hours ago. Play that. Play
that. Play it. Okay. What's wrong with you? It's
my friends, man. Like, I'm sober now, but all
they want to do is go party, drink, and go do
other things. Like, they're the only friends
I have, but it's just hard being around them
because they just keep pressuring me. Your plant's
dying. Yeah, I know. I don't know what's wrong
with it. Probably just going to change it out.
Give it water? Every day? Sunlight? No. You know,
it's probably because it's an outside plant.
An outside plant? I didn't even think of that.
Yeah. Same with everything else. The answer isn't
changing the plant. It's changing where it grows
in. Some things they can't heal in the same environment
that's hurting them. Are we still talking about
the plant? That dude's a gangster. He's solid.
He is a gangster. That dude is a beast, man.
What we'd like to be as creators. But yeah, so
he brings up a lot of compelling thoughts. And
my thing is what I love about him is that thought,
man. It's not our right to judge people, man.
It's our right to guide people. When we see them
going in wrong places, right, it's our right
to gently nudge and to love and, hey, man, come
over here. You don't have to go over there. You
don't have to do that. But you've got to remember,
like, we are the creatures of that. Yeah. You
know what I mean? Yeah. When we get to heaven,
we're going to be judged accordingly to how we
judged other people too. Yeah. All the little
details that we're judging, I don't judge people.
I just question them. I'm like, are you sure
about that? You are a douche. Well, and I actually
brought that up. I said, you know, it says, judge
not lest you be judged. How you judge others
is how you will be judged. And I said, you know,
I want to judge others with the biggest amount
of grace that I can possibly give. It's hard,
though. It's very hard. Very hard. Why is that?
Think about it in a big picture. Like, why is
it so hard? Think about how many things that
you judge people on, though. Their appearance,
their hygiene, their attitude, their driving
abilities. Are they fat? Yeah, they're dietary
habits. Do they have zits? Are they hairy? Are
they bald? Are they gray? Are they brown? Are
they white? Oh, why is he trying to hold on?
Dude, your hairline's like it's in the Army.
It's falling back, bro. Why are you trying to
hang on to it? You know what I'm saying? Yeah,
like mine? Screw you. That's not what I was going
after, but it worked. But you get what I'm saying.
Like, there's a million different things that
we judge people for. Their driving ability, that's
one. You know what I mean? And we don't know
what they're going through. I mean, I'm not sitting
in the passenger seat. There's 100 ,000 different
things. No. I do not remember where I've seen
this, but it was a video, and it was a guy talking
about angels testing us. And he was talking about,
be careful who you're mean to, because it may
be an angel testing your character. The reason
I bring this up is, you know, the panhandlers
that always sit right there on Lakeside and I
-40. There was one sitting there one day, and
I mean, just like, just, I mean, he just, he
wasn't even sitting over there asking. He was
just sitting there. Yeah. Like, I pulled up,
and he just kind of waved, and then he just put
his head down. He looked defeated. I mean, totally
defeated. Not going to describe his physical.
or anything because I feel like that's really
inappropriate. But I don't know what came over
me, but I was just like, man, this one I think
I need to give some money to. So I roll the window
down, and I kind of – he come over there, you
know, and I handed him a 20. I really hate talking
about this because this is one of those things,
like you're not supposed to brag. I'm not bragging.
I'm just kind of trying to explain the story.
I handed him a 20 and he immediately grabbed
my hand and shook my hand. And he's like, thank
you. He's all, what's your name? I said, Jason.
And I think he said his name was Wade. And I
was like, I said, man, get something to eat,
take care of yourself. And he's like, thank you.
And he didn't even like go and sit back down.
He just took off walking. Like he was going to
toot and totem, get something to eat. So I was
like, damn, maybe this was like, maybe that was
legit. But I'd seen that video. yeah before that
and i was like man you know like that's based
on scripture man there is there there has there
is scripture i would have to look it up and but
he says something about you you some of you have
entertained angels and didn't even know it that's
what it's talking about it's the same idea right
like but we don't know we don't know look god
put himself in a human flesh Brought himself
out of heaven and brought himself down to earth
to be among us and then took the worst possible
punishment that anybody has ever taken to save
us. You think that angelic beings can't look
like something else? I mean, seriously? Come
on, man. And look, if you really think about
it, that is the moment that all hellstorm brimfire,
like everything. basically opening hell's gates
when they were trying to crucify Jesus. It could
have been that. He could have showed off and
been like, okay, hell yeah, watch this. If he
was any one of us, he would have. If he was any
one of us, he'd have been like, take them all.
But what did he say instead? Father, forgive
them. They don't know what they're doing. God
dang it, man. So this is the part that took me
so long to understand the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit. That whole trifecta was because
when he looks up and he says, he's like, Father,
why have you forsaken me? And then that, Father,
please forgive them. They know not what they
do or whatever. He's talking about himself in
the third person. That's why always, but that's
kind of his way. That was always like his way
of doing it. Yeah. He didn't hesitate to say,
I am the way, the truth, and the light. Right.
Same in spirit, different in being, right? And
I listened to an intellectual talk about that,
about how, like, okay, me and... My uncle worked
in the same business. He's the CEO. I'm down
at the bottom. We're both human beings. We're
equal in that, right? But he's higher on the
totem pole than me, right? And I know it gets
a little convoluted and confusing, and we can
punch holes in anything we want to, but you've
got to think about it in a manner of God, Jesus,
Spirit, all the same. Spirit, all different beings.
Does that make sense? And the way I can, the
only way that I can complete it in my mind is
like they're the same thing in different bodies.
You know what I mean? And two of them don't even
have bodies. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
So they're the same thing in a different presence,
in a different manifestation, in a different,
you know what I mean? God can inhabit anything.
God can be in the wind. He can be in the trees.
He can be in the clouds. He can be wherever,
right? He can be a whisper in your ear, a thought
in your head, which is what I think the Spirit
does too. The Spirit is within you, though. The
Spirit's here. It's usually in your presence.
That's what I think. Again, this is just me speculating.
I don't know the truth about all this. I'm just
kind of telling you kind of where it comes from
for me. Jesus is our physical representation,
what we can actually see. how much God truly
loves us. How else could God possibly prove his
love? Okay, read the Old Testament from front
to back, from Genesis to Micah, Malachi. Malachi,
I think Malachi is the last one. From Genesis
to Malachi, read the whole thing. God showed
his people how much he loved him over and over
and over and over and over and over again, and
they still rejected him. Okay, so this is like
a major change of subject, but it just hit me.
It's all right. Pull up TikTok. Okay. He said,
okay, down shit. Yeah. We're dropping gears here.
All right, so go to the customizable Coke cans.
I want you to see this video. And we may have
to edit this out because you may watch this and
you may be like, nah, dude, they're going to
ban us. Okay, right there. Very personal. This
one's in Spanish. Try it anyways. Who cares?
It may just be that that's in Spanish. So at
the Coke store, you can personalize a message.
You can put a la. Yeah, this is the video. Loves
you. Let you do it. Or you could even put, let
me see. Buddha loves you. Let me see. Let's just
try it out. Buddha. Watch. Loves you. But you
cannot even type in the word Jesus. As soon as
you hit that second S. We cannot allow this text
in the can. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this.
It gets even better. Let's go. Everything else
is good, though. Yeah, watch it. Even if I put
Satan loves you. Oh, no, bro. Hold on. Satan
loves you? Let you finish it. But then you go
back and just try to type in Jesus. Allah loves
you. Buddha loves you. But when you type in this
word, you can't even type the word in. Okay,
all right. That's crazy. That's ridiculous. All
right. So basically what I'm getting at is piss
on coke. Yeah, well, let me say this, too. At
the end of the day, I don't care. They can ban
us if they want to. I'm going to keep doing what
we do because nobody's putting it out for us
anyway. We're doing it on our own. At the end
of the day, F all that. You know what I'm saying?
Like, F all that. That's crazy, huh? Okay. So
I scrolled through the comments and there's like
multiple people like, I tried this. This is legit.
I've tried this. I've tried this on their website.
This is legit. And then there's people are saying
like, well, what about God? I don't have, I don't
know where to go to do that, but I would like
to know what happens if, I mean. Yeah, but the
problem is, okay, Jesus is very specific because
Allah is a God. Buddha is... Allah's not a god.
Well, I'm just saying in their perspective. I'm
not saying he is a god. I'm just saying... He
was a freaking demon. Right. In their perspective,
Allah's a god. Buddha's a god. There's a whole
bunch of Hindu gods. There's a whole bunch...
Who the hell was it? Travels off in the forest
and has this haunting experience and comes up
with... Now we have Islam. Was it Muhammad? Muhammad.
Yeah. But you see what I'm saying? So in their
perspective, okay, look, again, you want to know
what they kept doing in the Old Testament? Over
and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over again, worshiping
other gods. That's what they did over and over
again. Dude, it is mind -boggling. I mean, seriously,
it is mind -boggling. How? Bro, you just said
bottling. I said boggling. No, just now. Dude,
what made me laugh is because when you were talking
about that, I can't remember what movie that
is. All I can think about is like mind -boggling,
you know, because it's like bottling up all your
thoughts. What movie is that? I have no idea.
Dude, oh, my God. It sounds like freaking a hangover
or something. No, it may be a Will Ferrell movie.
Golly. I'm all over the place right now, bro.
I am everywhere. Yeah, I am everywhere right
now. I'm sorry. I'm all over the place. All I
can say is, like, it's mind -boggling to me because,
like, okay, let's just go to Moses. The people
of Israel have been enslaved to Egypt for 200
years. Moses comes in, and, like, he becomes
this great leader. He pulls them out of Egypt,
gets to the Red Sea. They're trapped. They're
like, oh, my God, we're going to die. Parts the
Red Sea, right? This is God that does this, not
Moses. It's through Moses God does it, right?
Boom, parts of the Red Sea. They walk through
on dry land, right? Not wet -ass land that's
been underwater for a century. We talked about
this, too, because we talked about the winds
drying out. Right, right. They're overnight,
right? In my head, I was like it was instant,
but it wasn't. It was like overnight. But the
winds were so strong and all that, it kept the
water up all that time. It dried out. overnight,
right? They walk through on dry land. Then their
pursuers are chasing them through that water
and it takes them all out. They almost instantly
start worshiping other gods. Almost instantly.
It's not instantaneous. It's pretty quickly though.
They're wandering around out there forever. 40
years in the wilderness, right? You need to take
us back. What are we doing out here? Dude, when
Moses comes down with the Ten Commandments, he
goes up and he's up there for, I think it's 40
days. I'm pretty sure it's 40 days and 40 nights.
And they're worshiping this golden calf. Stupid
golden calf. Yeah. And it, dude, this. This sequence
happens over and over and over and over again
in the Old Testament. And it's a couple thousand
years of history. What's crazy, and we've talked
about this a hundred times, but God was so mad
at Moses, he was willing to kill him. He was
ready to kill him. He's like, man, I'm about
to choke the life out of you, bro. How frustrated
do you think he gets with us? Oh, fork. Oh, no.
Moses is like the bee's knees, you know what
I mean? So in my mind, I'm like, bro, I can only
imagine how irritated he's like this month. Oh,
he looks at Jesus like, man, he's lucky. Man,
he's lucky he got you. You know what I mean?
That's how I feel in my mind. But at the end
of the day, the most encouraging part of it is
every single step of the way. God would get so
mad. And he'd be like, fine, I'm just going to
let your enemies have you. I'm just going to
let them have you. And then he'd rescue them.
And then he'd rescue them. Over and over and
over again. And then he finally goes, okay, this
plan that I've been planning this whole time,
I guess I got no other choice because these people
are not redeemable. Yeah. Yeah, he knew he was
going to do that anyways. He did. He was like,
man, I'm just going to see, but I know I'm going
to have to. But what is that a commentary to?
To me, it's a commentary to you have to go through
it, right? We have to go through the struggle.
We have to go through the process. You know what
I mean? And the whole thing about grace is it
gives us time. Every single day we wake up, it
says his mercy is anew every morning, right?
Every single day we wake up, it's another chance,
another opportunity, right? To be better, to
grow further, to get just a step closer. You
know what I mean? That's the opportunity we have
to seize. It's not perfection. It's just better
every single day until finally our flesh gives
up and our spirit can be released and we can
be back with him. I know that's a lot to think
about. It's going to create a new earth. And
a new heaven. Heaven is going to be on earth.
I think it does say new heaven and new earth,
but I think essentially, I don't want to lie,
but I think there is some context that it's combined,
like heaven is earth. Yeah. I think. It's going
to be so cool. It's going to be so cool. It's
going to be so cool. No pain, no struggle. So,
like, a lot of that has got me thinking about
things because, you know, like. He talks about
the things of this world. There's a lot of things
in this world. You know what I mean? There ain't
going to be no damn Harleys. No. You know what
I mean? How do you know? And I put so much passion
into this freaking thing. You know what I'm saying?
Well, don't. I don't think that God frowns upon
us enjoying life. I know that, but that's one
instance where I was just like, man, that just
goes to show you all the things that you are
putting energy into. You know, television. Some
people can't live without television. Some people
can't live without these. More and more people
can't live without that. Some people can't live
without these. You know what I mean? Yeah, and
keep going down the line. You know, we talked
about that some people can't live without money.
Like, they have to have more and more and more
and more. Some people can't live without drugs,
alcohol, sex, porn, you know, shopping, the internet,
TV, movies. I really don't want to live without
sex. I don't either. I really don't want to live
without sex. I don't either. But the problem
is, I don't know, I feel like I'm a teenager
again. It's like I can't get enough. It's weird.
I'm 46. Why is that? TRT. What the hell is TRT?
Aren't you taking testosterone? Yeah. That's
why. It's supposed to help me with my energy.
It doesn't seem to. Oh, no, bro. That's exactly
what it is. Every time I take it, it was. Virile.
Oh, golly, man. It's like I'm mad. You know,
I'm like, take your clothes off. You're going
to have angry sex. Take your freaking clothes
off. Like you're 15. Yeah. Man, this is weird.
I don't know. Again. You start talking about
the flesh and the things of this world, and that's
why I told you I read Romans chapter 8 three
times today. I actually read it four times today.
That's it, dude. Romans chapter 7 leading into
Romans chapter 8 talking about like 7 is like,
dude, I'm battling with my flesh all the time.
I'm battling. I'm battling. It's warring against
me. These two things are warring. Paul says,
I know what I'm supposed to do, but I don't do
it. And I know what I'm not supposed to do. But
that's exactly what I do. You know what I mean?
Bro, that's every single one of us, every single
day. You know what I mean? Yeah. But how do you
get to a point where you finally go, I deserve
Jesus? You don't. I don't think you ever feel
that way. I think you accept it. You don't deserve
it. We don't deserve it. We're not the... creatures
of deserving deservables like that we are not
those people we we are we are a jacked up bunch
of folks yeah with all different kinds of we're
all different races we're all screwed up yeah
we're all going through something and we're all
going through something that people that we probably
don't like are going through And we don't see
it that way. The thing that bothers me about
what that Coca -Cola thing was showing me is
the one thing that can protect us. We're removing
it quicker and quicker now. It's becoming more
and more obvious how much we're trying to remove
him from life. I don't know if you've seen the
video of the guy that says that Allah will be...
America belongs to Islam. Allah will be in every
household, whether you like it or not. Have you
seen that video? Okay, it is a disturbing video,
and it is a polite reminder that when it comes
down to the end times, this is going to be something
that you're going to have to be willing to die
for because they will behead you. They don't
care. Look at how ISIS behead, what, 30 -something
people on a beach? Yeah. Because they would not
denounce their faith? I think it was Joshua.
And the whole time those guys are just sitting
there praying? Yeah. I think it was Joshua that
said, as for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord. That's where we're going to be. The first
thing they'll do is they'll remove all the digital
copies of the Bible. That'll be the first thing
that gets attacked because they can do that.
That's pretty easy, actually. I think you could
whittle that away pretty quickly. Physical copies,
what they will do is... They'll start catching
people trying to travel with one, and they will
take those. No, you ain't taking mine. But the
people that have them at their home, that's going
to be something. That's another scary thing,
too. I think it'll be some kind of forced inspection.
Like you said before, they'll come to take your
guns, and they'll find your Bible. They'll find
your Bible. It'll be some kind of forced inspection,
some kind of forced. They're going to do something.
It'll be mandatory. At that point, though, I'm
going to be hiding behind my room or I'm going
to be hiding behind the door. I know I'm going
to die anyways. I mean, I will be hiding behind
the door and just be like, I'm going to get a
few with my pew -pew before you get me, fool.
I mean, I'd hate to bring that kind of pressure.
tension on myself, but it's at the end of the
day, like we're not trying to speak anything
to into existence, but we also know that there's
a time, right? Look, it's, it's God's word stated
about it over and over again. Yeah. This is something
that's, it's going to happen. It is going to
happen. If you think this will, that's why they
tell you to like learn it. Yeah. Because you
may not have, you may not have a physical copy
anymore. You may not, you may have to, everything
that you try to teach people or, You know, you're
trying to teach, like, can you imagine in, let's
just say it happens in 25 years. Okay. My son
having a son and they don't have a Bible and
you gotta, you've got to, you gotta be able to
say like, Hey, no, because this is what it says.
We've got to stay the course. Otherwise it's
a, it's a, an entire generation of lost souls.
Yeah. Like in the book of Eli. Right, you've
seen that movie, I'm sure. It doesn't even have
to be a post -apocalyptic type of thing, but
they take away everything. You don't have free
access to electricity, and you don't have free
access to water, and free access to food anymore,
all that kind of stuff. Can you imagine how much
more you and I would dive into God's Word if
we didn't have the rest of life going on? How
much more time we would spend dealt? absorbing
that word. And I'm not good at it at all. I think
I've had peaks in my life. I've had times in
my life where I've been pretty committed to God's
word and I've had other times in my life where
I'm just not. And that actually, it bothers me
because I think about it a lot. I think about
all of the distractions of life and what's the
quickest way to get you away from God's word.
Distractions. Distractions. You know, and they're,
The world's got to figure it out, man. They know
exactly what they're doing. Yeah. You know, those,
these little devices that we're using to record
our podcast right now, like, well, it's not,
it's not even just that. I mean, if you go back
to TV, why do you think I have to call it the
boob tube? Well, because it turns you into a
boob. Okay. Well, dude, check, check this out.
You talk about channels and like, your channels
and stuff like that, and you talk about the things
that you see on your TV, it kind of makes you
wonder why they call them channels, because they
can channel thoughts. They can feed you with
enough stuff that they can change your thought
on things. Dude, I mean, look at how that's,
it's, as a kid growing up, you're taught blah,
blah, blah, ABCD, these things, right? Continuously.
Continuously. Feed it in your brain continuously.
And then you get out of school and you don't
use none of that. Math. English writing. But
there's a lot of that stuff that you don't ever
use. Like, they're changing history in schools.
Like, they're changing the things they teach.
There's like certain parts of it. That's how
they can control exactly what you want. This
sounds like such a tinfoil hat moment. Hate it.
I'm going to change the subject. Well, hold on.
You can't because I'm with you, though. I'm in
that same page because the policymakers and the
people that put the books in front of the students
are the ones who are creating the content for
them to absorb, right? I remember what we learned
about Christopher Columbus when we were kids.
Turns out Christopher Columbus was kind of a
piece of shit. You know what I mean? He didn't
show up on the... The Mayflower and the Nina
and the Pinta. Hey, you guys, let's have dinner.
Yeah. No. He did a lot of crazy, nasty things,
right? And, like, I'm not saying that the truth
shouldn't win out. It should, actually. But at
the end of the day, they can manipulate it however
they want. They tried to coerce us into believing
he was, like, a modern -day hero. Right. The
other part of that is that thought process right
there is why people don't trust the Bible. And
that's what bothers me. Because the only thing
about the Bible that's different is it has been
meticulously translated over and over again.
It's, dude, there are... And again, maybe the
people that are talking about it are in on it.
I don't know. But I just have to believe that
God still works. You know what I'm saying? So
this is the one thing about us at this time frame.
You know, we're not the Peters, the Pauls, the
Andrews, the Johns, the James. We didn't get
to walk with him. We didn't get to see him. We
didn't get to touch him. We didn't get to hug
him. We're not even close. Not even close. We
didn't get to talk with him. We didn't get to
do none of those things. Yeah. We, what we're...
Like, what we're basing everything off of is
1 ,000 % just faith -based. So something within
us clicked, and it's like, ooh, man, I know this
is the right way now. If I'm wrong, eh, whatever.
But if I'm right, whoa. Y 'all all in trouble.
Yahtzee. You know what I mean? Yahtzee. That's
all I'm going to say. Proverbs 3, 5 says, To
trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean
not on your own understanding and all your ways
submit to him and he will make your paths straight.
Submitting is the hardest part. It is so hard.
But the truth of it is, is like, you don't even
realize, you don't even think about it like this,
but your brain is your flesh too. Oh yeah. But
you don't think about it like that. It's just
something that floats up in the top of your head.
Everything that's going on in here. It's flesh.
it's flesh and your flesh has control of it if
you let it bro you like i think i made some ridiculous
comment one day about praying out loud i really
i know it was on the show about praying out loud
because that's how you keep the enemy because
the enemy can't hear your thoughts i know i did
this on here i'm almost positive i made this
ridiculous claim If he can't. Dude, he's in your
thoughts, too. Dude, he is. Like, what's crazy
about it is, like, I'll be just, like, I'll be
having a good day. Things will be going great.
Like, everything's awesome. Everything's perfect.
And, like, it's like something is just, like,
click, click. And I'm like, yeah. Mm -hmm. And
I was like, whoa, where did this come from? Yeah.
Like, why? Yeah. I had two, two outrageous anger
outbursts this weekend. Two. I mean, look, I
get frustrated sometimes pretty quick. I've been
known, like you, I've been known to throw in
a hammer. You know, I've been known to do those
things. Twice this happened. And I'm like, what
is wrong with me? This wasn't even that big a
deal. Like, things are good right now. What am
I pissed off about? You know what I'm saying?
Same thing yesterday. It happened again. Partly
I think I was pissed off because my hand was
on fire, felt like. But what happened was I had
just made gravy in an iron skillet, and I poured
it into a big cup. And I'm putting the cup over
here, and I'm putting the skillet over here,
and somehow or another, this cup of gravy just
poured all over my hand. Hot, hot, hot. What
did you make for dinner? Chicken fried steak.
I love chicken fried steak. I need to make you
chicken fried steak. Anyway, that's another thing
that I'm pretty good at. Anyway. With corn? I
didn't make corn because I didn't. Come on, man.
Yeah. Come on. You got to do chicken, fries,
steak, corn, and mashed potatoes. It was mashed
potatoes and we did. No, we didn't. Don't put
your dreams on me. No, we did fried squash yesterday,
actually. So, but anyway, in my haste, I'm like,
okay, I'm trying not to lose the entire thing
of gravy. And my hand's on fire at the same time.
So I'm, like, trying to put this down. And I
turn this water on. It's hot. Stupid. It's hot
water. Yeah. So I'm, like, turn the freaking
cold water on, too. And I get that shit off.
And I'm, like, I'm just mad. And I'm, like, okay,
yeah, it sucked. And, like, there was, like,
definitely going to be a reaction. But, like,
I went way south. Like, breaking stuff south.
almost you know what i'm saying like and my wife's
standing there like she's right there you know
what i mean like this reaction there was gonna
be a reaction clearly but the reaction i had
was like 1000 instead of 100 you know what i'm
saying homemade gravy yes sir are you getting
hungry now i'm just wanting to know the details
on this I got to know. Yes, I made scratch chicken
fried steak with scratch gravy, scratch mashed
potatoes, and scratch fried squash. Yeah. Should
have come to our house. Those discs. Yeah. Oh,
man. He said, are those discs? Yeah. The little
discs. Oh, yeah. But it goes into that thing,
though. Like, something up here has been, like.
I've been talking about it a lot. My focus is
off. I'm off. My thoughts are off. We've talked
about it. And even though we haven't been in
one of these kind of conversations in a minute,
the last conversation we had before that was
that exact topic. I don't know what it is. I
can't seem to dial it in. I can't seem to readjust.
The only thing I know to do is go to God's Word.
That's the only thing I know else to do that
I haven't been doing. I haven't been as committed
to my time in his word and reading his word and
checking in with you and like, hey, bro, here's
what I saw or here's what I read or whatever.
We still check in pretty much every day, but
it's like I didn't get nothing. I didn't get
either. You know what I mean? It's been a lot
of that lately. For whatever reason, we're both
busy. I understand. I know we are. I know you
are. I know I am. Are you looking for your? Words
of wisdom. Looking while we were doing our thing.
You know something even funnier? I got the second
joke in the old memory bank, too. You locked
that in? Two? Two in a row. Okay. Two in a row,
because they're easy to remember. I was going
to say, you know what we didn't do? Pray. dude,
it's been so long. I was going to pray too. Like,
and then we just kind of went, the whole Ben
Matthias thing through everything. We were gone.
I would like to, I would like to just, just as
a disclaimer, pretty sure from what I can tell,
he's not dead. Somebody may have died in his
family, but different Ben Matthias, maybe. Yeah.
And I don't, it just, the, what got me was I've
seen one of his videos and I saw that at the
bottom and said, ben matthias funeral i was like
what yeah so i clicked on it and it was like
video after video it like none of them saying
that it happened but every video you clicked
on after that was like what happened to ben matthias
what you know and so i was like dude dude really
died yeah i'm like wow you know he looks pretty
healthy i mean so okay that was exactly like
the moment i heard that kobe died I was like,
no freaking way. That's bull crap, dude. That
was me with Kyle Busch, too. Exactly. I was going
to bring that up, too. I was like, there is no
way, dude. Dude, he's our age. I know. He's younger
than us. He was younger than us. He's four years
younger than us. And he died from complications
of freaking. This is how much of a savage he
was, though, bro. He was sicker than a dog, and
you didn't even know it. You said it backed his
car out and all that stuff. Dude, did you watch
the next race? Uh -uh. Oh, dude. They had his
wife and his son out there. Brexton, dude, he's
my next driver. He's only 11 now, but he's going
to drive. He's going to be a driver. He's 11
now. Kyle Larson's son came out there. Kyle Larson's
son looked just like Kyle Larson. He got the
ears like that and everything. He looked just
like Kyle Larson. He came out there and he was
hugging on him and stuff. It was such a NASCAR
is family moment that it made me more of a NASCAR
person. Okay, so I've always, not always watched
NASCAR, but I'd gone to a couple races before
I went with you. Right. I kind of understood
about it. It wasn't until I started like really,
you know, once I kind of started my walk with
Christ, it wasn't until then that I really understood
how impactful NASCAR was. They pray before every
race. Yes, they do. You know what I'm saying?
Yes, they do. Like it is. And so as a, not going
to say godly man, but as a self -proclaimed.
godly man or I try to be a godly man, whatever.
I can respect that. And so it's like NASCAR has,
it has gravitated to a much bigger thing for
me to watch. They still today in 2026 unashamedly
broadcast the opening prayer. Yeah. Unashamedly
still. Yeah. And it's like, it's not, it's, it's
like, this is it. Deal with it. Take it or leave
it. Deal with it. Take it or leave it. You're
going to take it or you're going to leave it,
right? And I appreciate the fact that, hey, look,
dude, you don't realize how easily lives can
be lost on that racetrack, dude. I remember watching
Dale Earnhardt. I mean. It didn't even look that
bad of a wreck. Well, he was. He didn't like
the new safety protocols, and so he didn't like
to wear the extra harness thing. I know, I know.
But it didn't look like it was that bad of a
wreck. It didn't. And when they started, they
were like, he's, you know, they. When I found,
like. Yeah. That he, like, he died. Like, I'm
like, what? What? No way. His son was on the
track with him. Oh, I know. Dude, like, that's
crazy. That's when I started liking Dale Jr.
You know, everybody talks about Dale Jr. like
he's a legend, and he never even won a championship.
I know he didn't. He still was a great racer.
I know he didn't. Denny Hamlin hasn't won a championship
either. But I loved Dale Earnhardt. As a kid,
just the intimidator, man. Like, that's the dude.
He was the man, bro. He didn't take no. There
was a generation of kids that grew up, and Jeff
Gordon was the guy. Yeah. You know what I mean?
And Jimmy Johnson. Dude, Dale Sr. was the man.
And so when all that happened, it was just Dale
Jr. Yeah. For me, it was just Dale Jr. Okay,
and I've said this to Kevin, but he won't agree
with me, but he hated Kyle Busch, but he loved
Dale Earnhardt. I was like, same guy. They're
both super aggressive, take no crap off of nobody.
Dale Earnhardt was not humble. No, he's like,
no, I'm going to put your ass in the wall. You
know what I'm saying? Kyle Busch, same guy. Yeah.
So all these people that were haters of Kyle
Busch were once Dale Earnhardt fans. Yeah. If
you love Dale Earnhardt, you should have loved
Kyle Busch. And you know what? Now they're going
to look back on it, and they're going to appreciate
what he was to the sport, right? You know who
I'm – you know, Ross Chastain is my driver. Yeah.
The number one? Number one car, yeah. The Busch
-like car. But you know who I'm really starting
to like? Say it. Kyle Larson. I like Larson,
too. Dude, he's a driver of anything. You can
put that dude behind the wheel of anything, and
he can go win you some races. Larson's a beast,
dude. Chase Elliott used to be that cat, man.
Put him in an 87. or 86 Monte Carlo and send
him out on a sprint car track and watch that
dude win. You know what I mean? Like, he's a
sprint car driver. He's a Formula One driver.
He's just a driver. It's like you appreciate
the – Yeah. You appreciate it a little more once
you know the backdrop. Like, yeah, of course
I am. I'm tired of him winning. But then you
start to understand, like, why he is so good.
He drives everything. Yeah. My guy's Ben Hamlin.
For a while. Denny? Denny Hamlin. And JGR Racing,
not really a team guy. I'm more of a driver guy.
Who's the one that's on like a freaking, opened
the season up on a tear? Tyler Reddick. Guess
who he drives for? Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan
on 23 -11, right? Tyler Reddick. He won the first
four races, right? He's been in every race. And
that's the thing about Denny Hamlin, bro. Other
than the road courses, he's in every single race.
Every race. I don't like the road courses. I
hate it. It's not. When they do that one in Chicago,
it's trash. No. I'm not saying it's racing, but
it's not NASCAR. Those cars aren't designed for
that. Indy cars are designed for that. Hey, but
how about the NASCAR going out for the 24 hours
of Le Mans? Who? What? You didn't see the freaking
Camaro, the NASCAR Camaro go out for the Le Mans?
No. Dude. It went and raced it? Yes. Oh, no.
Dude, no. Do this. This was like two years ago.
I'd never even heard this. Yes. I watched the
Indy 500. It was like Car 56 or something is
what they called it. I watched the Indy 500,
actually watched the Indy 500 for the first time
in my life. Right? And my dad watches it every
year. Because it's right around his birthday.
It's the only Indy race he ever watches. Yeah.
And it's always on Memorial Weekend. And that.
Yeah, maybe it's the 2023 one. Chevy Camaro NASCAR.
Look. Okay. There you go. That's the one. Wait
till you hear this thing. Look at this thing.
This one? That thing raced the 24 Hours of Le
Mans. Look at how big it is, too. Look at how
big this car is. Turn the volume up, because
this thing sounds like you have all these...
We have started the 91st edition of the 24 hours
of Le Mans, 100 years since the first race took
place. So part of it was they couldn't, the Garage
56 Camaro, they couldn't, it couldn't place because
it didn't meet the requirements or whatever.
But this thing tore it up. Look at this, dude.
There is no replacement for displacement, baby.
Listen, sounds like a freaking NASCAR, dude.
The Chevrolet Camaro. This car is so loud. This
car is so loud. These Europeans are like, no.
They're losing their minds, dude. We cannot allow
this. That's why they can't play. What's funny
is there was a moment that he had passed a Lamborghini.
I think it was a McLaren. Yeah, I think maybe.
No. Yeah. Anyways, whatever it was. But there
was a moment that he passed one, right? And you
look at, it looks like a VCR racing a freaking
Walkman. You know what I mean? It's just like,
you have this big, you have this gigantic car.
It looks like a suitcase out there. You know,
it's like. But this thing just sounds like an
absolute hog. And then you have this little petite
freaking guard that's trying to weave through
it, and you just have this massive thing. This
thing is like the literal definition of let the
big dog eat. You know what I mean? That's pure
American muscle, right? That's what we miss about
it. Everybody's losing their minds over it, too.
But he's getting, I don't know. It was pretty
cool to see. several of the updates when that
was going on. Yeah. And I'm guessing that was
probably, when was that? I think it was 23. Okay,
so that was three years ago. Yeah. That's crazy,
though. Oh, it was wild. But I watched the Indy,
and, like, that's some crazy racing, too. Now,
they don't connect like you do in NASCAR, right?
They don't touch. They don't bump. They don't
rub. Because if you do, you're losing the wheel.
Yeah. Right. Or you're losing the fit. Yeah,
because it's an open wheel car. Yeah. Or you're
catapulting yourself into space. Hell, the top's
open, dude. Yeah. It's that way. But it was really
wild to watch those things. Like, it was crazy
watching them, like, passing each other. And,
like, it was wild. Watching hummingbirds. It's
funny because you say it like that and you made
that noise because that's exactly what it sounds
like. NASCAR is like... It's like... It's like
22s against freaking 50 cals. You know what I
mean? The top speed on the Indy was like 197
or something like that. That's getting it, dude.
I think it's a mile -and -a -half track oval,
but the straights are like three -quarters of
a mile on both sides. And the turns are sharp,
but they're short. You know what I mean? Those
straights are, you know what I mean? They're
getting it, dude. It's crazy to watch. I would
love to see a NASCAR car. But the thing about
them is their corners are flat. There's no bankment.
Yeah, no bank. Yeah. No bank. Those cars are
meant to handle, right, at those high speeds
and stay low to the ground. They're this far
off the ground, bro, like literally less than
a millimeter. Half inch off the ground. Yeah,
just tiny, tiny bit off the ground. You know,
those things are sucked to the ground. But when
one gets going off the ground, it's scary. It
turns into a kite. Yeah. What do you call a guy?
With no shins. Why should I know this? What do
you call a guy with no shins? What do you call
a man with no shins? Tony. Tony. Tony. Tony.
Tony. Ching out. Father, I apologize. Pray for
the spark. Yeah, who was that? That's Ron. Or
not Ron. It's Larry the Cable Guy. That is. Lord,
I apologize. Man, I remember the first time I
heard the Here's Your Sign guy. Billing Ball.
That was Billing Ball. I remember that, dude.
Actually, my buddy Chris, we were riding in his
truck to a job. I want to say in like Borger.
And we're sitting there and he's like, hey, you
got to hear this. He pops this CD in. And it
was freaking Bill Ingvall. It was like the Redneck
Kings of Comedy. It was Bill Ingvall. Larry the
Cable Guy. Shoot. Ron White. Oh, you're talking
about the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Yes. It was
that one. Oh, dude. Ron White opens up with the...
He talks about how he got his nickname. Tater
Salad. This is my son, Tater Tot. Oh, man. Do
you have any aliases? They call me Tater Salad.
It's from Fritch, Texas. Fritch, Texas. Sure
enough. Fritch, Texas, dude. Of all freaking
places. Hutchinson County. That's crazy, too.
And, dude, Fritch ain't nothing. Never mind.
I'm not going to say what I was fixing to say.
I mean, Lake Meredith is there, but the town
itself, dude. Methville. It's a pretty, pretty,
pretty rough place. Yes. I mean, it's not. I
don't even think there's a school there, is there?
Yeah. Rich High School. Is there? Yeah. Yeah.
The Eagles? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. No, several people
that graduated from there. This is going to be
a punch in the labels. Testiculars. Khalil Gibson.
And God said, love your enemy. I obeyed him and
loved myself. No. He said no. Not that. Food.
Truckers. What the heck? I don't know why. That
one just jumped off the page today. Yeah, that's
pretty deep, though. That's a good one. It really
is. I mean, it kind of speaks into a lot of what
we talked about with just the process and all
the stuff going on, man, and the flesh. Golly.
All I know is Christ saved my spirit, not my
flesh. Right? This flesh is going to betray me
to the end. Right? I'm going to lose some battles,
and I'm going to win some battles. The goal is
to win more battles than you lose every day,
right? That's the goal, I think. And if I'm wrong,
I'm wrong. But I think at the end of the day,
my relationship with Christ, and I hope your
relationship with Christ, is that we rely on
him and not on ourselves. And that's what I want
people to learn. Look, you're not dependent upon
yourself. You're dependent upon what Christ did.
And we can go through all the theological stuff
and what's the Trinity and what's the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They're not three
different. We can do all of that. Now you're
starting to turn it into the human aspect of
it. You're using your flesh to walk through it.
You're overthinking it. Bro, at some point you
just have to have faith. Amen. You have to have
a feet, the feet, the feet. Yeah, I got it. Listen,
if you like what you hear, come listen to us,
please. Thank you. Love you. Bye.
