00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.219
Grab your smokes, news and weather, music and

00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:08.640
jokes. See on the porch in my favorite house

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.660
coat, it's the Sarah Beth Terry Show. She's a

00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:14.400
feral Christian out in the wild. The cigarette

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.260
mom with a queen bee style. Talking or singing

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:19.399
about somebody you know. It's the Sarah Beth

00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.920
Terry, the Sarah Beth Terry. It's the Sarah Beth

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.780
Terry Show. I'm Sarah Beth Terry and you're not.

00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.560
True story. Good evening. I just got out of the

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.820
shower. I tried to go to the tanning bed twice

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:37.960
today to no avail. We're going to talk about

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.140
it. So after nine bags of pellets, two bags of

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:44.320
lime, three new chickens, four new chickens,

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:49.100
sorry, and working in this blasted humidity all

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.100
day, I finally said, I'm going to take a shower.

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.280
So my hair is wet. And not doing what I wanted

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:03.219
to do. So. It is Monday night, August the 17th,

00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:06.459
2026. Pull up a chair. Here's the stuff that

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:08.659
people will actually be talking about tomorrow.

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.340
You heard it here first. The biggest story in

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:16.140
America, Hawaii still recovering after Hurricane

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:20.879
Lala. More than 180 ,000 utility customers remain

00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.959
without power after Hurricane Lala swept past

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.659
Hawaii before weakening into a tropical storm

00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:26.909
this week. Utility crews continue restoration

00:01:26.909 --> 00:01:28.930
efforts as residents deal with the aftermath.

00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:32.430
They had a volcano and a hurricane. It's just

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:38.370
bad time on the big island. In world news, Jared

00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:40.530
Kushner reportedly met with Israeli Prime Minister

00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:44.349
Benjamin Netanyahu as part of the renewed efforts

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:48.450
to negotiate a Gaza peace framework. The proposed

00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:52.480
roadmap includes Hamas disarmament. In exchange

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.760
for phased Israeli withdrawal, those significant

00:01:54.760 --> 00:02:00.480
obstacles remain. 60 days after a major Iran

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.420
agreement was signed, negotiations appear stalled

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:04.319
and broader regional tensions continue because

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:10.000
Iran deal has hit rough water. No pun intended.

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.939
In politics and government this evening, the

00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:16.060
FBI headquarters fight continues. If you've not

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:17.400
been keeping up with this, a judge ruled that

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.120
the Trump administration cannot scrap plans to

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.680
move FBI headquarters to Maryland. keeping a

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.500
long -running political battle alive so there

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:32.180
you go defense secretary pete hicks had traveled

00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:34.360
to iowa fueling speculation that he might be

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.919
considering a future presidential run i don't

00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.280
think that he is he's too big of buddies with

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.539
uh with jd anyway There's a House ethics investigation

00:02:45.539 --> 00:02:47.439
going on right now. Representative Jimmy Gomez

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.199
is reportedly under investigation by the House

00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.400
Ethics Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct.

00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.840
All right, and money markets and the things that

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.879
affect your wallet. AI stocks continue driving

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.900
markets with Wall Street entering a busy week

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.939
with AI -related companies helping lift technology

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.439
stocks while investors wait on Federal Reserve

00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.069
minutes and major retail earning reports. There's

00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:17.569
that. Harvard goes all in on the SpaceX. Have

00:03:17.569 --> 00:03:19.969
you seen this? Harvard management company disclosed

00:03:19.969 --> 00:03:23.229
a $2 .2 billion stake in SpaceX, reportedly making

00:03:23.229 --> 00:03:25.150
it the university endowment's largest holding.

00:03:26.050 --> 00:03:28.110
Are we sending Harvard people to space? What

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:30.590
are we doing? You're going to start getting a

00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:32.030
degree in two days or less? I don't know what's

00:03:32.030 --> 00:03:36.750
happening here. Gold climbed about $4 ,400 an

00:03:36.750 --> 00:03:42.180
ounce today. $4 ,400 an ounce. So if you're still

00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:43.560
hanging on to that wedding ring, take it to the

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.000
pawn shop. It's worth more in the gold than it

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.780
is diamonds. Bitcoin traded around $63 ,000 today.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.759
So if you believe in the made -up currency that

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.240
you can farm off of old computers, there's a

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.699
payday today. So there you go. My advice, buy

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:08.879
silver and gold. Cricket, the coffee. Bad luck

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.050
for you. Not today, Satan. Sorry, it's a cricket.

00:04:18.829 --> 00:04:21.269
In entertainment news, as we discussed this morning,

00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:28.550
Hayden Panettiere has passed away at the age

00:04:28.550 --> 00:04:32.110
of 36. The actor is best known for Heroes Nashville,

00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:34.069
and the Scream franchise has died at the age

00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:36.990
of 36. The cause of death has not been publicly

00:04:36.990 --> 00:04:39.610
disclosed yet, but the rumors on our side of

00:04:39.610 --> 00:04:40.949
the mill is that she had a heart attack from

00:04:40.949 --> 00:04:42.689
an overdose. But we don't know that for sure.

00:04:43.009 --> 00:04:45.029
She did give a very revealing interview just

00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:47.110
a few weeks ago, so this kind of feels like a

00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:49.029
Paul Walker, Princess Di, Michael Jackson situation.

00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:51.269
But again, the conspiracy theories will fly.

00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:56.819
God rest her, she was too young. Spider -Man

00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:59.860
is absolutely printing money. Tom Holland's Spider

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:01.980
-Man Brand New Day has crossed the $2 billion

00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:04.060
threshold worldwide and continues dominating

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.439
theaters. So if you've not seen it yet, you're

00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.019
one of the few that haven't. So get out there

00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:10.500
and see it. Emmy season has officially begun

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:12.480
with the final Emmy voting underway, and industry

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.139
insiders are already debating who will take home

00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:16.579
television's biggest awards next month. So if

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:19.360
you're a big TV person, then, you know, that's

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.019
coming up. What everybody else will be streaming

00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:24.500
coming this week is Toy Story 5, Outer Banks

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:26.500
Season 5, which is the last season they've announced,

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.220
DC's Lanterns, Love is Blind UK Season 3, and

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:33.180
the Boeing documentary Freefall. So those will

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:35.399
be streaming later this week if you are going

00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.879
to be on the couch Netflixing and chilling. Science

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.819
is getting weird again, friends. Scientists turned

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:44.160
DNA into a computer memory. Researchers have

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.180
created a bio -hybrid memory device using synthetic

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:49.480
DNA and semiconductors that could dramatically

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.139
reduce power consumption in future computing

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:57.560
systems. La -ti -da. A new type of space object

00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.040
has been discovered. Astronomers say that they've

00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.759
identified what appears to be an entirely new

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:04.600
class of astrophysical objects nicknamed the

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.540
Black Hole Star. I thought that was Marilyn Manson,

00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:11.100
but... I could be wrong. All right. New narcolepsy

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:14.180
drug shows promise. Researchers say a new medication

00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:16.139
targets the root cause of narcolepsy rather than

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:20.680
simply treating the symptoms. Weed helps too.

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.639
But anyway, Kateri and Karen on. An important

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.180
study for us dog people. Scientists continue

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.920
finding evidence that dogs can recognize when

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.300
you're happy, sad, frustrated, or stressed. Some

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:34.800
of the strongest impacts in the animal kingdom,

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.800
meaning that your dog knows you're lying when

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.060
you say we're not going to the vet. They know.

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.920
They know. They know. In the climate and weather,

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.620
Lake Powell has hit another historic low. We

00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:48.759
were talking about this morning. Water levels

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.720
at Lake Powell have dropped to a new low, intensifying

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.240
concerns about the long -term water supplies

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.259
throughout the American West, which they really

00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:55.819
need right now considering all the wildfires.

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.439
Scientists are using sharks to predict hurricanes

00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.189
now. Nope, that's not a Shark Week episode, friends.

00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:03.149
Researchers are actually studying shark behavior

00:07:03.149 --> 00:07:07.310
to improve hurricane forecasting models. Why

00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:08.689
not? They're already out there in it. We might

00:07:08.689 --> 00:07:12.930
as well just strap a GoPro to them. The Appalachian

00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:15.110
observation of the day. If scientists can store

00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:17.910
memories in DNA, discover black hole stars, and

00:07:17.910 --> 00:07:21.629
teach computers to think, why does every weed

00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:23.670
eater still require exactly 17 pools before it

00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:29.110
starts? Inquiring minds want to know. In the

00:07:29.110 --> 00:07:31.269
feral Christian corner for this evening, verse

00:07:31.269 --> 00:07:34.290
of the day is, Cast thy burden upon the Lord,

00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:36.949
and he shall sustain thee. From Psalm 55, verse

00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:39.730
22. The world has given you plenty to worry about

00:07:39.730 --> 00:07:42.069
tonight, friends. God has given you permission

00:07:42.069 --> 00:07:46.209
to sit some of it down. Remember that. There's

00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:48.670
a porch question tonight. If a reporter showed

00:07:48.670 --> 00:07:51.610
up on your porch right now and asked you, What

00:07:51.610 --> 00:07:53.990
is the biggest thing happening in your life?

00:07:55.410 --> 00:07:59.259
What would the answer be? Because whatever popped

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:02.199
in your head first, that's probably what God's

00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.339
working on. So, just checking in. Samantha, okay,

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:09.420
you're watching Design and Women, which season

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:11.699
are you on? And is Suzanne and Julia Stewart,

00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.939
have they brought in that awful Julia Duffy to

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:17.740
play Allison? I hated those episodes. And it

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:19.480
got worse when they got that rich girl BJ to

00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:20.860
do it. Not that she wasn't a great actress, but

00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.639
she's not Delta Burke. Only one rich bitch on

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.300
the show when she left in third season, fourth

00:08:27.300 --> 00:08:31.220
season. I just want to know which episode you're

00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:34.940
on because I can quote them. Especially the Julia

00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:36.860
gets her head stuck in a fence episode. It's

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:41.379
one of my favorites. If you've never seen that

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:44.179
episode, Julia sticks her head through the railing

00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:45.740
at the governor's mansion as they're trying to

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.940
decorate it for the governor's ball, which Anthony

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:51.220
has been invited to as a rehabilitated prisoner.

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.600
But Suzanne's invitation. She did not get it.

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:58.000
So she thought that the mailman stole it, but

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.500
he didn't. She just didn't get invited. So she

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.539
went with him to help decorate the governor's

00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:04.860
mansion, and that was made fun of Julia because

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.840
she never did anything funny. So she stuck her

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.340
head in the railing and got it stuck. And Mary

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.960
Jo looks at her and she said, Julia, are you

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.779
telling me that there's absolutely positively

00:09:14.779 --> 00:09:17.580
no way that you can get your head out of there?

00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:23.649
And Julia goes, Mary Jo, read my lips. I'm stuck.

00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:28.409
And then they end up having to keep her in the

00:09:28.409 --> 00:09:30.929
staircase, and then Suzanne changes her into

00:09:30.929 --> 00:09:33.690
a formal ball gown and tries to put pantyhose

00:09:33.690 --> 00:09:36.529
on her right there in the front hallway of the

00:09:36.529 --> 00:09:38.490
governor's mansion. And then after she gets her

00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:41.309
dressed, and, you know, Julia's just sprawled

00:09:41.309 --> 00:09:43.990
out on the staircase, and Suzanne said, I don't

00:09:43.990 --> 00:09:45.909
know, and she yanks Julia's foot up. She said,

00:09:46.029 --> 00:09:48.309
I think these pantyhose are too dark for this

00:09:48.309 --> 00:09:53.710
dress. And Julia said, oh, no, we got to do something.

00:09:54.049 --> 00:09:57.210
Tonight, when Georgia's most elite are walking

00:09:57.210 --> 00:10:00.370
down the stairs and the governor steps over my

00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:03.129
body on this staircase, I don't want anybody

00:10:03.129 --> 00:10:05.809
to say, do you see that girl, the girl with her

00:10:05.809 --> 00:10:07.649
head stuck in the staircase? Yes, the one the

00:10:07.649 --> 00:10:09.629
governor just stepped over. Don't you think her

00:10:09.629 --> 00:10:11.389
pantyhose were a little too dark for that dress?

00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:17.179
One of my favorite episodes of all time. Or when

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:19.000
Ms. Bitts came in there and she said, you have

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.860
exactly 15 minutes, 45 minutes, sorry, 45 minutes

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:25.899
to explain to the governor himself exactly why

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:27.720
not. Because they hadn't got her out of the fence

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.600
yet, you know. And Mary Jo's sitting there eating

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.340
a big bowl of fruit and she said, well, what's

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:35.659
so hard to understand? Hey, governor, got our

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:39.379
head stuck in a fence. Can't get it out. Ms.

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.059
Bitts won't give us a saw. It's one of my favorites.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:47.980
Anyway. Season 2, Episode 5. Wait a minute. That's

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.259
when they're starting to get into it. They've

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.539
redone the main thing. Charlene's no longer sitting

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:53.820
in the big wicker chair, and we've moved Suzanne's

00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:57.299
desk over to the couch. Right? Am I right? This

00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:59.659
is after Season 1, where Suzanne dates Mary Jo's

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:01.919
ex -husband, Ted, even though she put him through

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.639
med school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and she had

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.840
to buy a live chicken, and she talks about three

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.759
different episodes. So, don't start with me on

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.600
designing women, friends. I know that almost

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.379
as well as I know the Bible. Anyway. Moving on

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:16.879
tonight in the Music and Entertainment Report

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:25.679
tonight. Ann Hathaway's new film is arriving.

00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.679
I don't know if you know about this. HBO Max

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.879
is rolling out Mother Mary starring Ann Hathaway

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.000
as a troubled pop superstar. Early Buzz says

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.240
it's one of the stranger and potentially award

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.389
-worthy films of the year. Looking at that false

00:11:40.389 --> 00:11:43.389
teeth. Yeah, honey, of course it is. My smile

00:11:43.389 --> 00:11:45.529
is fake, but my tits are real. Keep that. Okay,

00:11:45.629 --> 00:11:48.149
in the music world buzz, Sam Smith returns with

00:11:48.149 --> 00:11:49.990
a new album this week, marking a major return

00:11:49.990 --> 00:11:51.690
after several years away from the spotlight and

00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:53.129
some kind of identity crisis where he started

00:11:53.129 --> 00:11:54.649
wearing pleather on stage. But we won't talk

00:11:54.649 --> 00:11:55.730
about that. We're just going to talk about his

00:11:55.730 --> 00:11:58.970
music. Weezer drops another album. This is number

00:11:58.970 --> 00:12:04.669
20. 20. That's right. Most bands don't survive

00:12:04.669 --> 00:12:07.929
a drummer change, let alone put out 20 studio

00:12:07.929 --> 00:12:11.379
albums. Say it ain't so. Anthony Hopkins has

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:15.779
a classical album out now. So excited. At age

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.779
88, Sir Anthony Hopkins has released a classical

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:19.779
music album featuring compositions that he's

00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:22.240
been writing over the last six decades. Some

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.179
people retire in their older years. Anthony Hopkins

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:28.480
has started a new career. Do I remember the Diana

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:29.940
Ross and the Supreme episode? Are we kidding?

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.879
That was the Rowdy Girls episode, and that was

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.710
one where Suzanne's wearing black pants. Julia

00:12:35.710 --> 00:12:37.870
says, I don't care where you go. You just stay

00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:44.090
the hell away from us. Mary Jo was the best Diana

00:12:44.090 --> 00:12:45.549
Ross ever. She did the mouth and everything.

00:12:46.970 --> 00:12:51.590
No matter where you are. No matter how far. It's

00:12:51.590 --> 00:12:53.149
the best. If you haven't watched it, it's on

00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:56.809
Hulu. Get yourself some Designing Women. I am

00:12:56.809 --> 00:12:59.850
reading the message. Contemporary English version.

00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:06.320
That was compiled by Peterson. I like him. Really,

00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:08.440
one of my favorite biblical scholars. But anyway,

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.220
that's the one that I read. It's on sale on Amazon

00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:11.879
right now, and you can get a pink one for less

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.460
than $30 because that's what I did. So, in national

00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:18.779
music industry news, AI lawsuits are finally

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:21.740
reaching MusicRoute. MusicRoute's company, Roundhill

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:23.379
Music, has filed copyright infringement lawsuits

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:26.580
against AI companies Suno and Anthropic, alleging

00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:28.620
unauthorized use of copyrighted songs for AI

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:30.899
training. This is one of the biggest music business

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:32.980
stories of the year and could shape how AI and

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:35.399
songwriting coexist going forward. Let me give

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.279
you a little heads up. There's only 12 notes.

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:42.100
That's it. And at some point, they're going to

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:43.600
start to repeat. And something's going to sound

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.379
like something else. And Robin Thicke gets sued

00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:48.539
by Al Green. So I'm just saying, it's a very

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:50.720
fine line. You want to keep from getting kicked

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.659
out of college? Quit plagiarizing your work.

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:55.960
Pick up a guitar. Learn a book. Write a song.

00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:01.610
Don't have it create for you. Be someone who

00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:05.049
uses AI as a tool, not a tool that uses AI. But

00:14:05.049 --> 00:14:06.649
everybody's knee -jerking, including Big and

00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:08.129
Rich, over this thing going, well, I don't know

00:14:08.129 --> 00:14:09.490
what we're going to do. Well, this is the same

00:14:09.490 --> 00:14:11.070
knee -jerk reaction y 'all had when Papaw went

00:14:11.070 --> 00:14:13.309
from VHS to DVDs and we went from analog to digital

00:14:13.309 --> 00:14:15.289
with Pro Tools. Either learn how to use it, ride

00:14:15.289 --> 00:14:16.649
the dragon, or get burnt. I don't know what to

00:14:16.649 --> 00:14:18.529
tell you, but it's 2026, and if my house can

00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:19.889
wake me up at 7 o 'clock in the morning by singing

00:14:19.889 --> 00:14:21.850
Happy Birthday to me, we are screwed in the music

00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:24.110
business unless you figure it out. I've already

00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:26.350
figured it out. I wrote 216 songs in the past

00:14:26.350 --> 00:14:30.039
year. None of which... None of which were aided

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:37.100
by any kind of computer. All that college learning.

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:43.299
Thank God. Okay. Basically, it's just padding

00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:45.039
the pockets of national lawyers because they're

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.580
making money even though the songwriters aren't.

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:49.340
So it's whatever. It's fine. Zach Topp continues

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.259
his rise. The neo -traditional country singer

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:54.120
continues building momentum with sold -out dates

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.000
and a growing buzz across the country music world.

00:14:56.409 --> 00:14:57.990
Many industry insiders see him as one of the

00:14:57.990 --> 00:14:59.629
strongest traditional country success stories

00:14:59.629 --> 00:15:05.009
in years. Everybody's looking for the next authentic

00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:07.730
voice, I have learned. The biggest trend in country

00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:10.169
right now isn't bigger production, it's authenticity.

00:15:11.070 --> 00:15:12.889
Fans continue gravitating towards artists who

00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:14.289
sound like real people rather than marketing

00:15:14.289 --> 00:15:17.370
plans. Or NASCAR jingles. So, you know, just

00:15:17.370 --> 00:15:19.529
keep that in mind. Which is probably good news

00:15:19.529 --> 00:15:21.330
for porch singers like me because I'm about as

00:15:21.330 --> 00:15:23.129
real as it gets. Like I said, smile is fake,

00:15:23.169 --> 00:15:28.399
tits are real. Here we are. Hollywood's odds

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.480
and ends this evening. Hulu swings the axe. Several

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.379
Hulu shows have been canceled by five major series

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.539
received renewals as streamers continue trimming

00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:39.159
budgets and focusing on proven hits. Fantasy

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.259
fans lose their minds as Sarah J. Moss revealed

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:42.940
titles and cover art for the upcoming A Court

00:15:42.940 --> 00:15:45.019
of Thorns and Roses book, sending the book talking

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:46.919
to a full cardiac arrest, in case you're on that

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.419
side of TikTok. In music trivia, this week's

00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:52.980
wild fact. Bonnie Tyler's funeral was held in

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.299
Wales today, where fans gathered to celebrate

00:15:55.299 --> 00:15:56.879
the voice behind Total Eclipse of the Heart.

00:15:57.299 --> 00:16:00.960
Her career spanned more than five decades. Wow.

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:09.399
God rest Bonnie Tyler. It's the porch opinion

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.299
tonight that the biggest entertainment story

00:16:11.299 --> 00:16:16.480
isn't a movie. It isn't a celebrity. It isn't

00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.480
an award show. It's that people are starving

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.960
for something real. Been fed bullshit so long

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.019
that we're just wanting the real thing. Artists

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:28.600
breaking through right now are the ones who feel

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.379
human, sound human, act human. People want stories.

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:35.120
They want truth. They want somebody who sounds

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.419
like they've actually lived life. But the good

00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:40.100
news for me is that's kind of my whole thing.

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:46.539
So I'm not worried about it. Let's take a porch

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:48.950
poll tonight. What's the bigger accomplishment?

00:16:51.190 --> 00:16:54.490
Releasing your first album? Releasing your 20th

00:16:54.490 --> 00:16:56.389
album like Weezer? Or surviving long enough in

00:16:56.389 --> 00:16:58.509
the music business to have a 20th album? Don't

00:16:58.509 --> 00:17:04.869
answer too fast. In Kentucky and West Virginia,

00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:09.109
front porch news tonight. An 18 -year -old has

00:17:09.109 --> 00:17:10.730
been arrested and charged after the deadly shooting

00:17:10.730 --> 00:17:13.150
at Charles Young Park during Lexington's East

00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:15.480
End Day celebration this weekend. One teenager

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.240
was killed and several others, including children,

00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.140
were injured. It's still one of the biggest stories

00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:21.839
in Kentucky as of this evening. The Kentucky

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.319
State Fair starts this week, opening Thursday

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.539
in Louisville, Kentucky, bringing concerts, livestock

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:29.460
competitions, fried food, giant vegetables, and

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:31.160
enough people watching material to last until

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.500
Christmas. My porch prediction is that somebody

00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:36.980
will deep fry something that absolutely should

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:42.539
have not been deep fried. Just saying. Highway

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:44.819
deaths are climbing again. After several years

00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:46.279
of improvement, Kentucky is seeing a rise in

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.119
traffic fatalities this year. State officials

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.579
say that deaths are up about 6 % compared to

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:53.279
last year and are urging drivers to slow down

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.660
and put your phones away. You would think that

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:58.099
would be common sense. You can wait until you

00:17:58.099 --> 00:17:59.799
get there. Nobody needs to talk on the phone

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.240
that much. Thousands lost power after the storms

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.980
this weekend. Strong storms rolled through portions

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:06.700
of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, knocking

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.359
out power and bringing flooding concerns to several

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:10.900
areas. More rain is in the forecast for this

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:17.609
week. Look alive. Western Kentucky had a measles

00:18:17.609 --> 00:18:19.549
outbreak. Safe health officials have confirmed

00:18:19.549 --> 00:18:21.410
a measles outbreak in Western Kentucky, prompting

00:18:21.410 --> 00:18:23.210
health official alerts and vaccination reminders.

00:18:23.869 --> 00:18:26.049
That's one vaccination that does work. Get your

00:18:26.049 --> 00:18:30.109
measles. So. In West Virginia, deadly flooding

00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:32.029
is across southern West Virginia still to this

00:18:32.029 --> 00:18:33.410
day. Heavy rain caused flash flooding across

00:18:33.410 --> 00:18:35.609
several counties. A woman died after flood water

00:18:35.609 --> 00:18:37.269
swept away her vehicle in Fayette County, while

00:18:37.269 --> 00:18:39.250
emergency crews carried out numerous water rescues

00:18:39.250 --> 00:18:41.450
in Kanaan and surrounding areas. It's been a

00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:47.450
real discovery. Emergency crews spent much of

00:18:47.450 --> 00:18:49.089
the weekend pulling stranded residents from vehicles

00:18:49.089 --> 00:18:50.869
and flooded roads after torrential rainfall hit

00:18:50.869 --> 00:18:53.609
parts of the state. If the roads look like a

00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:56.470
river, it's no longer a road. Turn around, don't

00:18:56.470 --> 00:19:00.329
drown. It's not that the water's flowing, it's

00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:02.029
what the water's flowing. So, you know, just

00:19:02.029 --> 00:19:05.150
maybe just turn around. Go to higher ground.

00:19:06.289 --> 00:19:08.329
North Central West Virginia Airport opens a new

00:19:08.329 --> 00:19:10.509
terminal. Super excited. A brand new $70 million

00:19:10.509 --> 00:19:12.269
terminal officially opens this week at the North

00:19:12.269 --> 00:19:15.869
Central West Virginia Airport. Officials say

00:19:15.869 --> 00:19:18.630
it's roughly four times larger than its previous

00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:24.410
facility. So, congratulations. Mountaineer fans

00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:26.410
are feeling nostalgic this week as West Virginia

00:19:26.410 --> 00:19:28.470
football once again missed the preseason AP Top

00:19:28.470 --> 00:19:31.150
25, leading fans to reminisce about the Dana,

00:19:31.289 --> 00:19:34.529
Holderson, and Will Greer era when rankings were

00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:36.930
a regular occurrence. So, everybody's kind of

00:19:36.930 --> 00:19:40.069
missing the good old days. School is back in

00:19:40.069 --> 00:19:42.509
session. Across West Virginia, students, teachers,

00:19:42.589 --> 00:19:44.150
bus drivers, and exhausted parents are returning

00:19:44.150 --> 00:19:47.210
to classrooms for the 26 -27 school year. So

00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:48.289
remember, if you're trying to get anywhere between

00:19:48.289 --> 00:19:50.009
6 .30 and 8 o 'clock in the morning or anywhere

00:19:50.009 --> 00:19:51.589
between 2 .30 and 4 o 'clock in the afternoon,

00:19:51.750 --> 00:19:52.910
you might as well just slow down and wait and

00:19:52.910 --> 00:19:55.049
get you a book. Especially if you're on 34 coming

00:19:55.049 --> 00:19:56.750
through Toast Valley because it will be gridlocked.

00:19:59.049 --> 00:20:01.450
Things that people around here are talking about.

00:20:02.369 --> 00:20:04.410
In Kentucky, we're talking about the state fair

00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:07.089
and all the food. I really want to go eat a funnel

00:20:07.089 --> 00:20:09.650
cake and just lick the plate. I don't even care.

00:20:10.379 --> 00:20:12.319
Lexington shooting arrests. Thank goodness that

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:13.819
that's finally under wraps. Mitch McConnell's

00:20:13.819 --> 00:20:16.299
continued absence from public life or just life

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:18.660
in general. I think that he might have crossed

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:21.380
on to his great reward by now, but no one's answering

00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:23.859
any questions. Storm damage and football season

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.160
approaching seems to be on everybody's mind as

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.200
we go into the third week of August. Okay, in

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.660
West Virginia, there's flooding, high school

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:31.240
football, Mountaineer football, back to school

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:36.059
season, and we wish it would stop raining. That's

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:44.859
what we know. It's funny that the two headlines

00:20:44.859 --> 00:20:47.299
from the states that I call home, West Virginia's

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:49.799
headline was, you know, floodwaters sweep through

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:54.099
half the state. Kentucky's was, the state fair

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:56.119
opens up with fried everything this Thursday.

00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.640
Priorities. That sums up August in Appalachia

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.019
pretty well, actually, if I think about it. One

00:21:03.019 --> 00:21:04.559
state is sandbagging and the other one's eating

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.700
a funnel cake. Sometimes on the same day. Just

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:13.160
the way it is. On this day in history, friends,

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:15.680
in 1807, Robert Fulton's steamboat Claremont

00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.519
began its historic voyage from New York to Albany,

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.240
helping launch the age of commercial steam travel.

00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:27.059
So that's that. In 1859, the first official U

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:29.980
.S. airmail was carried by a balloon. Imagine

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:31.759
trusting the Postal Service to a giant floating

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.740
sack of hot air, and I'm not talking about Mitch

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:36.119
McConnell. I'm talking about, you know, wouldn't

00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:40.440
it be crazy to just be like, airmail. Thank you.

00:21:42.399 --> 00:21:45.380
I can't come down. I don't know how it works.

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.900
Sorry. In 1939, speaking of which, The Wizard

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:51.619
of Oz premiered in New York City on this date,

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:55.660
dazzling audiences with Technicolor. My goodness,

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:58.740
87 years ago, Judy Garland was skipping down

00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:00.420
the real brick road in a pair of shoes that are

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:06.640
worth more than my house. Crazy. In 2008, Michael

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.380
Phelps became the first athlete ever to win eight

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:11.049
gold medals in a single Olympic game. Pretty

00:22:11.049 --> 00:22:15.529
cool. You had to give them back. But, you know,

00:22:15.549 --> 00:22:19.009
it was pretty cool. Born on this day was Davy

00:22:19.009 --> 00:22:21.549
Crockett, king of the wild frontier. Frontiersman

00:22:21.549 --> 00:22:24.309
and Alamo legend, Davy Crockett. Mae West was

00:22:24.309 --> 00:22:26.250
born in 1893, an actress, comedian, and queen

00:22:26.250 --> 00:22:28.690
of the one -liner, if you ask me. I love Mae

00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:30.930
West. Robert De Niro was born on this date in

00:22:30.930 --> 00:22:35.250
1943. Belinda Carlyle was born in 1958. Ooh,

00:22:35.349 --> 00:22:37.690
heaven is a place on earth. Donnie Wahlberg was

00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:41.099
born in 1969. The new kids on the block in Blue

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:43.579
Blood All -Star. And Austin Butler, Elvis himself,

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:48.799
is celebrating birthday number 35 today. So,

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:53.259
happy birthday to y 'all. In the Farmer's Almanac

00:22:53.259 --> 00:23:01.180
corner, talk, don't cook rice. Translation. You

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:03.539
can complain about it. You can talk about it.

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:05.920
You can discuss it. You can form a committee.

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:08.740
But eventually, somebody has to get up and do

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:16.539
the thing. Top don't cook rice. Do you want to

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:20.720
keep raccoons out of your garbage? Run a tight

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.660
bungee cord over the lid. Apparently generations

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:24.440
of country folks have been fighting tiny trash

00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:28.579
bandits with a little bit of elastic. So, just

00:23:28.579 --> 00:23:32.039
so you know. Weather lore this week. Today marks

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.279
the beginning of the old -fashioned cat nights.

00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.299
According to Irish folklore, August 17th is when

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:39.059
witches supposedly lost the ability to transform

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:41.720
back from cats. So that's one explanation for

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.500
why people started saying cats have nine lives.

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:45.759
Just so you know. A little weather lore for you

00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.299
this evening. Ten things that you probably didn't

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:50.799
know, and I'm going to tell you. Cows have best

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.779
friends, and they get stressed when they're separated.

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:54.680
If you've ever seen two heifers duking it out

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.259
on Facebook because one of them's in jail for

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:57.420
the weekend, you know exactly what I'm talking

00:23:57.420 --> 00:24:02.740
about. A shrimp's heart is in its head. Makes

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:05.539
that battle a little easier, I bet. A cloud can

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:07.920
weigh over a million pounds. Don't ask me how

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.839
I know. I didn't measure it, but... That's what

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:13.019
they tell me. The average person spends about

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:14.700
six months of their life waiting for red lights.

00:24:16.380 --> 00:24:20.839
Good to know. Good time to pray. Octopuses have

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.339
three hearts. Did you know that? And they bleed

00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:28.559
blue. A group of crows is called a murder, but

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.559
a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance.

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:39.210
Some things are what they are. It sounds less

00:24:39.210 --> 00:24:41.829
like bird watching and more like watching Dateline.

00:24:47.130 --> 00:24:48.809
What if you could get a group of flamingos and

00:24:48.809 --> 00:24:50.390
a group of crows? Is that a flamboyant murder?

00:24:55.769 --> 00:25:00.170
Wombats produce cube -shaped poop. Nobody knows

00:25:00.170 --> 00:25:01.930
why God felt that while that was necessary, but

00:25:01.930 --> 00:25:07.450
they do. They literally can shit a brick. There's

00:25:07.450 --> 00:25:09.970
that. Your stomach gets a completely new lining

00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:12.170
every couple of days. Otherwise, it would digest

00:25:12.170 --> 00:25:13.829
itself. So there's something to think about.

00:25:16.930 --> 00:25:19.089
Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found

00:25:19.089 --> 00:25:20.589
jars of honey thousands of years old that were

00:25:20.589 --> 00:25:22.250
still edible. And if it's crystallized, just

00:25:22.250 --> 00:25:23.849
throw a little bit of hot water in the jar and

00:25:23.849 --> 00:25:30.849
it should soften right back up. What animal can

00:25:30.849 --> 00:25:33.690
see behind itself without turning its head? A

00:25:33.690 --> 00:25:36.509
horse, a rabbit, a goat, or a cow? Do you know?

00:25:37.710 --> 00:25:40.230
What animal can see behind itself without turning

00:25:40.230 --> 00:25:48.450
its head? Your answer is a rabbit. They have

00:25:48.450 --> 00:25:55.789
nearly 360 degree vision. It's pretty cool. Excuse

00:25:55.789 --> 00:26:02.430
me. Well, I'm trying to see if there's any more

00:26:02.430 --> 00:26:05.799
things that you don't know. Appalachian facts,

00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:07.339
you know, the Appalachian Mountains are older

00:26:07.339 --> 00:26:10.660
than the Rockies, if you didn't know that. In

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:12.980
fact, they're some of the oldest mountains on

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:16.539
Earth. These old hills were already ancient,

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:19.640
long before the first coal miner, before the

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:21.980
moonshiner, before the preacher, before the porch

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:27.619
sitter. They're old. Built on bones and drenched

00:26:27.619 --> 00:26:30.940
in blood. Appalachians are old, old, old. Life

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:33.940
is old. They're older than the trees. Trust me.

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:39.339
If you could sit on the porch for one hour with

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:42.099
anybody in the world, Jesus excluded because

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:43.460
I think that's cheating. He's on the porch all

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:45.880
the time. Who would it be? Would you sit with

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.339
Davy Crockett, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, or

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:53.740
even McIntyre? Why not a joke? Prince. Rod Stewart.

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:57.759
Mae West. Abraham Lincoln. Or your great -great

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.579
-great -great -grandmother with a cast iron skillet

00:26:59.579 --> 00:27:01.220
and all the family secrets. Like, who would you

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:07.539
spend an hour with? That's what I've been thinking

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:10.220
about. I want to say a big thank you to everybody

00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:11.440
that's come over to the Feral Christian Podcast

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.099
page. We just hit 100 ,000 followers. That's

00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:15.640
100 ,000 people getting to hear the Word of God

00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:17.619
every week, and I am very thankful and grateful

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:20.259
to God for it. I do wish that they would focus

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:21.619
more on what I'm saying and less on what I'm

00:27:21.619 --> 00:27:24.539
wearing. I get a lot of hate, not on what I'm

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:26.259
saying and not what I'm preaching, but what I'm

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.859
wearing, why my hair looks like it does, why

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:29.539
I'm wearing nail polish, why I've got on jewelry.

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:32.400
What would God think about you having a platform?

00:27:33.899 --> 00:27:35.920
What would God think about Paul preaching and

00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:37.440
writing letters? What would God think about Moses

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.640
leading through the wilderness? What would God

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.539
think about Jeremiah giving a prophecy? What

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:44.579
would God think about Mary taking the body? I

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:52.319
don't see the point. To me, it's not about me.

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:56.319
It's never been about me. It's about God. And

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:58.630
if you... listening to me on my porch smoking

00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:00.250
a cigarette and talking about the news of the

00:28:00.250 --> 00:28:02.430
day brings you closer to God, makes you get in

00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:04.170
your Bible and dig around a little bit, or maybe

00:28:04.170 --> 00:28:05.849
makes you talk to him for the first time in 15,

00:28:05.890 --> 00:28:09.269
20 years, then my job is accomplished. If you

00:28:09.269 --> 00:28:10.549
happen to listen to a couple of my songs on the

00:28:10.549 --> 00:28:12.289
way out the door, then great. If you don't, it's

00:28:12.289 --> 00:28:20.450
not a big deal. It's not about me. So. But I

00:28:20.450 --> 00:28:22.109
do want to thank all the Judgmental Church of

00:28:22.109 --> 00:28:23.529
Christ people who want to comment on my thing

00:28:23.529 --> 00:28:25.430
and say, I don't like the way you look. I don't

00:28:25.430 --> 00:28:27.210
like the way you dress. What's up with that boob?

00:28:29.329 --> 00:28:32.849
I don't know. I got two of them. Too old to show

00:28:32.849 --> 00:28:34.890
them. Just hike them up and hope they don't hit

00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:38.309
my knees when I sit down. But the people that

00:28:38.309 --> 00:28:39.710
always have the most to say are the people with

00:28:39.710 --> 00:28:41.670
the least amount of friends and an AI -generated

00:28:41.670 --> 00:28:43.289
profile picture which makes me think that they're

00:28:43.289 --> 00:28:44.890
either a bot or 80 years old and don't know how

00:28:44.890 --> 00:28:47.150
to use their phone. Either way, keep your opinions

00:28:47.150 --> 00:28:49.440
to yourself. You can't say something nice. If

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:50.660
you like me, share me with your friends. If you

00:28:50.660 --> 00:28:52.799
don't, keep it to yourself. I got things to do.

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.500
I don't have time to defend myself all the time

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:56.359
against every single person online who don't

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.559
like the way I look. It ain't about what I look

00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:02.279
like. If it was, John the Baptist would have

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.839
been in for a what not to wear episode. John,

00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:07.039
what are we doing? What are we doing with this

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:09.140
camel hair and this leather belt? It's so drab.

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:10.640
You wear it every single day. Let's put some

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:16.890
color in it. I'm not going to talk about what

00:29:16.890 --> 00:29:18.329
a hypocrite that you are, but that's all right.

00:29:18.369 --> 00:29:22.650
You probably don't know. Why spoil it for you?

00:29:26.769 --> 00:29:28.630
How do you start a relationship with God? Just

00:29:28.630 --> 00:29:32.549
like this, Ray. Say, God, I'm right here. My

00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:37.470
name's Ray. I'd like to get to know you. Read

00:29:37.470 --> 00:29:40.109
his book. It's a bestseller. Talk to him. He's

00:29:40.109 --> 00:29:45.039
right here. Right here. And if at any moment

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:46.660
that you want to sit and talk to somebody about

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:48.000
it, talk to me about it, talk to somebody on

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.400
the porch about it, talk to a clergyman about

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.519
it, it really is as simple as making the proclamation

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.660
of faith and getting baptized. I believe that

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:57.339
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God,

00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.980
and I've accepted him as my Lord and Savior.

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.579
Then you find the nearest body of water and somebody

00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:03.440
that's ordained, go down to the water, come back

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.680
new in the creation of God, and go and send them

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:08.660
over. We're doing our best every single day,

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:10.420
and we all fall short, sisters. Don't think that

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:13.009
you're the only one in this boat. But the good

00:30:13.009 --> 00:30:14.789
news is that the guy that's running the boat

00:30:14.789 --> 00:30:18.250
can also walk on water. So, we're good. Don't

00:30:18.250 --> 00:30:19.890
worry about it. But if you want to start a relationship

00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:23.009
with God, it's literally that simple. What would

00:30:23.009 --> 00:30:24.869
God think about their criticism? Probably judge

00:30:24.869 --> 00:30:28.829
not lest you be judged. Maybe pay attention to

00:30:28.829 --> 00:30:30.190
the plank in your own eye before you start picking

00:30:30.190 --> 00:30:32.029
out the sawdust in mine. That's all I'm saying.

00:30:33.829 --> 00:30:35.450
That's what I'm saying when I'm on my porch.

00:30:37.369 --> 00:30:39.349
I'll look better out in public this week. I'll

00:30:39.349 --> 00:30:40.630
have my hair done and my lashes done. Don't worry

00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:42.880
about it. But right now, I'm home. And God knows

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:44.579
what I look like. God knows what I sound like.

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.259
God knows what I'm doing when I'm not on camera.

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:50.119
We talk all the time. All the time. Matter of

00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:52.200
fact, I was in the tractor supply tonight. Everything

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:54.500
went wrong. Everything went wrong for me to get

00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:56.059
all my stuff done tonight before it got dark.

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:58.680
Everything. People standing crossways in the

00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.220
Goodwill, I couldn't get through. I did get a

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.559
fur coat for 17 bucks. I'm not going to talk

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:03.660
about it. I'm working on jackets to put out for

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:05.440
the Ruffled Feathers collection this week. I've

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.160
got two new fringers that I finished today, and

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:09.259
I've got three more to make tomorrow. And then

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:11.180
I went to the GNC, which closed early because

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:12.559
of the power outage, and I went to the Planet

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.559
Fitness to get in the tanning bed, but there

00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:14.940
was a 35 -minute wait, and the marshals wanted

00:31:14.940 --> 00:31:16.400
me to sign them stupid tanning forms again, so

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:17.359
I just turned around and got back in my Jeep

00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.660
and left. And then I went to Tractor Supply,

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.920
and I went round and round and round with every

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:22.420
single red coat that was in there like it was

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:24.420
the British War. And finally I got in the five

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:27.819
-bag appellate, my two rose bushes, and my metal,

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:30.960
what is that stuff, strapping, stripping, whatever

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.640
it is that Sean needs. And then I met a man named

00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:40.579
Warren. walked me out to my car, helped me load

00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:43.880
up from Texas, now works at Tractor Supply. I

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.099
live in West Virginia. And he talked to me like

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:50.759
we've been old friends since Moses was a boy.

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.119
And before we ended up leaving the parking lot,

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:58.079
he asked me if I'd pray with him. And I prayed

00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.200
over him right there in the parking lot for some

00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.940
stuff that he was worried about. I think that

00:32:01.940 --> 00:32:03.279
was the whole reason that God kept forwarding

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:04.319
my plans is because I was supposed to be in the

00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:05.819
Tractor Supply parking lot to talk to that man

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:10.880
tonight. And when I feel like I haven't got anything

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:13.259
accomplished, I have to keep in my mind. I got

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:15.000
two jackets done today. I wrote a song today

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:18.339
with Dave Fowler. Let's see what else did I get

00:32:18.339 --> 00:32:20.299
done. Nine bags of pellets in the feed, two bags

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:22.839
of lime, a thing of horse stall refresher, which

00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.359
works really well in chicken coops, three new

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.740
baby silkies, one new baby aracana, a mother

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:29.059
hen who's finally brooding off of the nesting

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:32.579
box. We've got one little baby with Ruth. We've

00:32:32.579 --> 00:32:34.420
got four little babies with the other Ruth, and

00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:35.980
we've got four babies that are finally teenagers

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:37.700
and out on their own now, including a phoenix

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:39.339
silky mix, which I'm super excited because she's

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:43.099
super fuzzy but has a really long tail. I also

00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:44.720
got coneflowers, black -eyed Susans, two rose

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.140
bushes, and a gardenia that I've got to put in

00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:51.779
the ground this week. But I also feel like I

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:55.279
didn't get anything accomplished. I know I did.

00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:58.240
I want instant validation. I'd be like, done,

00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.720
but instead I just got like 20 % closer to like

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:07.940
10 more goals. Thursday night is the live Pharaoh

00:33:07.940 --> 00:33:10.180
Christian Bible study at Seven Loaves Cafe in

00:33:10.180 --> 00:33:12.180
Greenham, Kentucky. If you haven't got your tickets

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:13.619
for that, they're on the website. And they're

00:33:13.619 --> 00:33:15.160
going to go fast because we only have a few left.

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.319
Then the 22nd, which is this Saturday, we're

00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:18.980
in Sapphire, North Carolina at The Fix. And I

00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:20.440
have big news. My friend Erica Nicole is going

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.079
to open up for me at 6 o 'clock. Super excited

00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.400
to have her back on the stage with me. And we'll

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.259
be kicking off the show at 6 o 'clock there in

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:27.599
Sapphire. So if you haven't got your tickets

00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.240
for that, you can get them on my website, SarahBethTerry

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:33.390
.com. Also coming up in the next couple months,

00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:35.170
we're going to Perry, Florida for two events.

00:33:35.329 --> 00:33:36.809
We're going to be in Hurricane, West Virginia.

00:33:36.910 --> 00:33:38.029
We're going to be in Huntington, West Virginia.

00:33:38.109 --> 00:33:40.769
We're going to be in Camden, Tennessee, and Camden,

00:33:40.890 --> 00:33:44.589
Kentucky. Anywhere else that the good Lord sends

00:33:44.589 --> 00:33:46.210
us, or you call and book us between now and then,

00:33:46.210 --> 00:33:47.369
because we only have six states left between

00:33:47.369 --> 00:33:48.890
now and the end of the year, including New Year's

00:33:48.890 --> 00:33:50.329
and Labor Day. So if you want anything for a

00:33:50.329 --> 00:33:52.849
bar mitzvah, baptism, burial, or a barbecue,

00:33:53.029 --> 00:33:59.970
holler. Holler at your girl. I need money for

00:33:59.970 --> 00:34:05.859
feed and weed. No, my neighbor did not give me

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:07.700
money for rose bushes, even though he killed

00:34:07.700 --> 00:34:13.099
them. But the good news is that Tractor Supply

00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:14.840
has a 90 % off sale on everything but shrubs

00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.480
and hedges this week, so I'm going to get all

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.280
of my rose bushes for $2 .25 apiece. I know.

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:21.860
I know. I'm going to go clean them out. I'm going

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:23.340
to take $50 and just buy every one of them that

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:24.780
I can. I'm going to have a whole hedge of roses

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:27.079
at my new place up in Kentucky. Hide and watch.

00:34:31.629 --> 00:34:33.590
Well, honestly, I keep telling myself that every

00:34:33.590 --> 00:34:35.230
single month when I go and buy more fade, more

00:34:35.230 --> 00:34:36.769
pellets, and more shit. And I'm like, I don't

00:34:36.769 --> 00:34:38.809
even sell the eggs. And, you know, they get on

00:34:38.809 --> 00:34:41.130
my nerves. But I realize every single morning

00:34:41.130 --> 00:34:43.469
that it gives me a reason to get up before the

00:34:43.469 --> 00:34:45.650
sun, to talk to God, to read my Bible, to be

00:34:45.650 --> 00:34:48.130
at one with nature, to hold my little baby chickens.

00:34:48.190 --> 00:34:50.050
And they do give me joy even if I don't sell

00:34:50.050 --> 00:34:52.110
the eggs because the West Virginia FDA is through

00:34:52.110 --> 00:34:56.679
the roof on their taxes. I have to look at it

00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.300
as I'm carrying on a family tradition. My Aunt

00:34:59.300 --> 00:35:00.820
Shirley raised chickens, my Great Granny raised

00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:02.440
chickens, my Great Great Granny raised chickens,

00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:05.460
and I feel like that's part of my, like, lineage

00:35:05.460 --> 00:35:10.619
at this point. We're not crazy cat ladders, we're

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:15.199
batshit chicken ladies. If you think that they'll

00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:18.880
flog you, wait till later. Hi! Lisa, Lisa, I

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.940
got my light today. That was awesome. Sean's

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:24.179
in there tinkering with it right now. He's going

00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:25.300
to put it on the porch tonight, but he's tinkering

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:27.900
with it. He's trying to figure out how we can

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:29.679
use it in the closet and on the stage and in

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.579
the car and on the porch. I think he's just going

00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:33.539
to attach it to my head by one of those big lights.

00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:41.119
You know? I just feel like if I could get one

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.400
thing like completely done, I would be happy

00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:44.679
with myself. But I always feel like I'm just

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.300
piddling around with a bunch of little projects.

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:47.780
Like I get a little bit done here and I get a

00:35:47.780 --> 00:35:49.139
little bit done there and a little bit done there.

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.239
And I've got until Thursday to get my stuff done.

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.159
Because Thursday night is the Fair Christian

00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:56.760
Life Bible Study and then Friday morning we leave

00:35:56.760 --> 00:36:07.730
out for North Carolina. So, working on it. Denomination

00:36:07.730 --> 00:36:19.389
is irrelevant, Kim. It's just something that

00:36:19.389 --> 00:36:22.849
you want to walk a different path, answer to

00:36:22.849 --> 00:36:25.809
a different boss, clock in to a different clock.

00:36:31.050 --> 00:36:33.889
But the cool thing about salvation is that it's

00:36:33.889 --> 00:36:37.639
there for everybody. You just have to accept

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:45.340
it. In West Virginia, I'm between Huntington

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:47.260
and Charleston. That's where I'm playing. I'm

00:36:47.260 --> 00:36:48.800
playing in Huntington and in Hurricane within

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.300
the next couple months. If you want me up towards

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:52.679
the other side, towards Pennsylvania, then book

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:56.980
me. We're in North Carolina, Sapphire, North

00:36:56.980 --> 00:37:00.079
Carolina, just outside of Cashers. So we'll be

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:03.840
there on Saturday. I will do a lot with my chickens

00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.349
this week. Am I moving back to Kentucky eventually?

00:37:07.210 --> 00:37:08.769
I have a place in Kentucky. I have a place in

00:37:08.769 --> 00:37:10.429
West Virginia. I'm looking at a place in Nashville.

00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:13.809
The world is my home. It's like Maya Angelou

00:37:13.809 --> 00:37:15.329
said, once you figure out that you don't belong

00:37:15.329 --> 00:37:18.130
anywhere, you belong everywhere. So wherever

00:37:18.130 --> 00:37:20.969
Sean is, that's home. Wherever me and Sean and

00:37:20.969 --> 00:37:23.550
God are, that's home. I don't care what state

00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:25.730
it's in. I don't care what country it's in. I

00:37:25.730 --> 00:37:27.190
don't care if we're in a boat, in a train, in

00:37:27.190 --> 00:37:29.809
a plane, in a caboose. I don't care. Wherever

00:37:29.809 --> 00:37:31.190
me and him are in the same place, we're home.

00:37:34.409 --> 00:37:36.329
I have so many projects. I think I'm going to

00:37:36.329 --> 00:37:38.469
start interviewing. I need best friends. I just

00:37:38.469 --> 00:37:41.510
need accountability buddies. I don't really need

00:37:41.510 --> 00:37:43.510
to do anything. I don't want to rob a bank. I

00:37:43.510 --> 00:37:46.489
just want you to run to Walgreens with me. Keep

00:37:46.489 --> 00:37:58.730
me on task. April, yes, I'll get on there and

00:37:58.730 --> 00:38:00.210
do that. Maybe Sean's watching. He can add it

00:38:00.210 --> 00:38:02.469
on there. It's just the Feral Christian Podcast.

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:05.460
And it's linked right on the page, so just think.

00:38:07.139 --> 00:38:10.119
Y 'all talking off loud? Oh, they're riding their

00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:15.360
bicycles. So I don't claim to have it all together.

00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:18.440
I don't claim to know everything. I do have enough

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:22.619
resources and connections and faith in my abilities

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:25.980
that I can find the answer if we don't got it.

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:28.079
I was on the phone this morning with my friend

00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:29.800
Leah over in Bali, and I was like, Listen, are

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:31.059
y 'all okay? Because I had that big old earthquake

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:34.309
over in Indonesia this week. And I called her

00:38:34.309 --> 00:38:36.309
and I was like, are you okay? She answered the

00:38:36.309 --> 00:38:39.690
phone and she was sitting in the living room.

00:38:39.869 --> 00:38:41.489
And I was like, oh, thank God. She goes, what?

00:38:41.590 --> 00:38:42.909
I said, I kind of have expected you and Sean

00:38:42.909 --> 00:38:44.949
and them babies to be outside roasting a hot

00:38:44.949 --> 00:38:46.690
dog over a gas fire on a stick or something.

00:38:46.949 --> 00:38:48.969
She goes, it was the next I went over, okay.

00:38:49.269 --> 00:38:51.989
I was like, I was worried. I don't know my geography

00:38:51.989 --> 00:38:53.829
enough in Indonesia to know if you're safe in

00:38:53.829 --> 00:38:58.510
Bali or not, but I'm glad that she was. Moved

00:38:58.510 --> 00:39:00.409
to Snore, Kentucky. Tracy, I done lived in Munterville

00:39:00.409 --> 00:39:06.519
and that was near close enough for me. I wish

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.019
you'd eat your mouse. She caught, or Mittens

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:12.659
caught, it's time for the Mittens update. Hi.

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:18.099
Mittens killed a great big huge rat. And hasn't

00:39:18.099 --> 00:39:20.360
ate it yet. And it's just over here staring at

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:27.360
me. Yes, Stephanie, let me know. I know how to

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:28.360
get to Pennsylvania. I've been there before.

00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.360
Like it. I've been to Our Lady of Cheshitacova,

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.610
Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, and Enterprise. I'd

00:39:34.610 --> 00:39:36.510
like to come back. Not necessarily to those places,

00:39:36.570 --> 00:39:41.769
but I know how to get to Pennsylvania. Bonnie,

00:39:41.789 --> 00:39:47.269
welcome to the porch. Glad to have you. Trace,

00:39:47.269 --> 00:39:48.730
you tell that son of yours that if you don't

00:39:48.730 --> 00:39:49.989
call me soon, I'm going to take him right out

00:39:49.989 --> 00:39:51.409
of my phone book because we ain't wrote together

00:39:51.409 --> 00:39:56.329
in forever. I like to give this the hard time.

00:40:02.829 --> 00:40:05.469
Stephanie, I hadn't checked it yet, but I will.

00:40:05.550 --> 00:40:07.929
My husband checks my email because I don't understand

00:40:07.929 --> 00:40:09.250
that I ain't deleting stuff that I don't maintain,

00:40:09.349 --> 00:40:10.929
so he just forwards the stuff to me that I need

00:40:10.929 --> 00:40:14.449
to see. Come to Winston -Salem, North Carolina.

00:40:14.530 --> 00:40:16.130
We'll find me a gig, Margaret, and I'll be right

00:40:16.130 --> 00:40:18.349
there. Margaret. I love that name. That was the

00:40:18.349 --> 00:40:19.670
name of my baby doll when I was growing up, Margaret.

00:40:22.170 --> 00:40:24.489
So, come to Arkansas. Love to. Stephanie, get

00:40:24.489 --> 00:40:28.190
me a gig. And then a place to play, stay, and

00:40:28.190 --> 00:40:33.719
smoke. And we'll be on the way. So today is Monday.

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:46.619
August 17th. So, which means tomorrow is the

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:51.239
18th. Which means I will get up super early and

00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:54.400
try again. I would have friends over, but I don't

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.219
have any friends hardly that live around here.

00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:58.340
Like all my friends are far, far away. And every

00:40:58.340 --> 00:40:59.699
time I try to make friends around here, they

00:40:59.699 --> 00:41:01.159
get real weird for a couple of days. And then,

00:41:01.219 --> 00:41:11.489
you know. I like people to be my friends because

00:41:11.489 --> 00:41:13.309
they like to be my friend, not because of who

00:41:13.309 --> 00:41:15.150
I know or what I've done or what my resume says

00:41:15.150 --> 00:41:17.190
or, you know, that you might be on TV one day.

00:41:17.289 --> 00:41:23.949
Like, I just go to a junk store with me. So that's

00:41:23.949 --> 00:41:27.329
my thing. That's what I think. That's what I

00:41:27.329 --> 00:41:32.869
say. Oh, Lord. But in the meantime, friends,

00:41:32.989 --> 00:41:35.329
I'm really glad to see you. I'm glad that you're

00:41:35.329 --> 00:41:36.590
on the porch this evening. I'm glad that we're

00:41:36.590 --> 00:41:39.159
all hanging out and visiting. Three more days,

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.679
Christy, you're going to be there. I'm so excited.

00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:42.460
We get to meet in real life. And I always feel

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:44.019
like a TSA agent when people come up to me at

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:45.460
shows. I'm like, I watch you on Facebook. I'm

00:41:45.460 --> 00:41:49.699
like, yes, that's you. Because you're this big.

00:41:51.420 --> 00:41:55.440
So, I can just about bet you that that rat didn't

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:57.699
eat poison. She caught it, or he caught it in

00:41:57.699 --> 00:42:00.579
the chicken coop. There's just a corn -fed rat.

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:05.420
Samantha, I'm the same way. I don't really ascribe

00:42:05.420 --> 00:42:07.420
to religion. Religion is man -made, and they're

00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:09.840
stuck more in rigid tradition than they are in

00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:15.659
Scripture reading. So, you know, I'm not a Pauline

00:42:15.659 --> 00:42:17.940
Christian. I'm not a wayward Christian. I'm a

00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:22.239
feral Christian. I talk to God. He talks back.

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.079
I read his book, and I'll continue to read it

00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:28.380
until he puts out another one. I know you love

00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:30.280
to jump, Tracy. We'll have to go together. We'll

00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:31.659
have to go to the one in E -Town. That's a really

00:42:31.659 --> 00:42:33.199
good one. And we'll have to go to Glendale. I

00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:34.300
haven't been to Glendale in forever, and that's

00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:37.019
like the greatest antique in the world. Today

00:42:37.019 --> 00:42:46.920
was National Thrift Shop Day. So. Rita, get us

00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:48.820
to Arkansas. Listen, Rita, thank you so much

00:42:48.820 --> 00:42:52.260
for sending me well wishes, and I just can't

00:42:52.260 --> 00:42:55.980
wait to meet y 'all in real life. Mindy, you

00:42:55.980 --> 00:42:59.829
are my friend. Got tomorrow's smoky roll over

00:42:59.829 --> 00:43:01.369
on my porch. Well, you know, Leona, so you're

00:43:01.369 --> 00:43:04.530
playing ahead. So, hey, hey, hey from southwest

00:43:04.530 --> 00:43:06.889
Missouri. What's going on? I had a bug up my

00:43:06.889 --> 00:43:09.610
dress right there. I could feel it. Sorry, I

00:43:09.610 --> 00:43:11.369
was like, is that some call on my leg? Is that

00:43:11.369 --> 00:43:16.130
a damn cricket? Lori just found me gigs. We'll

00:43:16.130 --> 00:43:19.190
come. I've been to Arizona. I like it. A little

00:43:19.190 --> 00:43:23.929
hot, but I like it. So, I don't know, friends.

00:43:23.969 --> 00:43:25.409
That's really all I know. I just try to keep

00:43:25.409 --> 00:43:28.059
you abreast. abreast of the situation in the

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:29.619
news and you know i might be the only person

00:43:29.619 --> 00:43:30.760
that's telling you what's actually going on in

00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.900
the world because i know that cnn and fox and

00:43:32.900 --> 00:43:36.199
abc and nbc and cbs is like no we're not going

00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:37.659
to play the president's address today we're going

00:43:37.659 --> 00:43:44.780
to do something different whatever well hello

00:43:44.780 --> 00:43:47.519
stephanie thank you for saying that hello heather

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:52.519
thank you just doing the best that i can with

00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:56.119
what i got I think that's what we're all doing.

00:43:56.739 --> 00:44:05.880
Hello from Montana. Hello. What's going on? Your

00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.760
thrifting only included big ladders at Walgreens

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.519
for 79 cents a piece? That's cheap. Good job.

00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:16.199
So if you see somebody, oh, I love the Whistle

00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:18.900
Stop Cafe. The pie has meringue on it this tall.

00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:23.500
It's fantastic. If you see somebody from your

00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:25.199
neck of the woods, then y 'all team up and find

00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:32.739
me a gig. Your dad was kicked off SBC for preaching

00:44:32.739 --> 00:44:34.219
the same study you did on women's role in the

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:35.760
church. Well, there's a reason why I'm not with

00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:37.739
the Southern Baptist, uh, Baptist kid anymore.

00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:40.420
They said I was a spiritual liability years ago

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:41.880
because I played the Demi Brothers for ovatory

00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:43.639
instead of the Gaithers one Sunday and they lost

00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.940
their ever loving mind. And I thought, Oh, this

00:44:45.940 --> 00:44:47.420
ain't even the worst that's going on in this

00:44:47.420 --> 00:44:51.260
church behind the pulpit, but that's okay. I

00:44:51.260 --> 00:44:53.239
don't subscribe to a deity that takes attendance

00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:54.920
and makes you be baptized into a congregation.

00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:02.760
I think that that's blasphemy. Don't be a part

00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.039
-time Christian and expect a full -time God.

00:45:14.549 --> 00:45:16.250
Everybody wants to get all high and mighty and

00:45:16.250 --> 00:45:18.230
talk about whose version is right and whose translation

00:45:18.230 --> 00:45:20.090
is right and whose doctrine is right and whose

00:45:20.090 --> 00:45:22.929
religion is right. None of it. Jesus. That's

00:45:22.929 --> 00:45:25.650
it. That's the only answer. Jesus. Jesus. Dude,

00:45:25.809 --> 00:45:31.989
hanging on this piece of paper. Jesus. Talk to

00:45:31.989 --> 00:45:38.710
him. He's not far away. Hello from Hurricane

00:45:38.710 --> 00:45:40.050
West, Virginia. Well, what do you say, Richard

00:45:40.050 --> 00:45:46.610
Atkins? I know where that is. See Amanda, another

00:45:46.610 --> 00:45:48.530
one from Montana. Get me a gig. Now, there's

00:45:48.530 --> 00:45:50.829
two of you. Make friends. This is the power of

00:45:50.829 --> 00:45:52.230
the porch. If you see somebody and you're like,

00:45:52.289 --> 00:45:54.050
hey, I'm in Michigan. I'm also Michigan. Let's

00:45:54.050 --> 00:45:55.650
get Sarah Beth up here at Mackinac. All right.

00:46:03.889 --> 00:46:05.829
It's pretty easy. My number's on the website.

00:46:09.489 --> 00:46:12.960
But in the meantime... I'm going to spend the

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:14.559
rest of this week trying to get my house in order,

00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:16.519
get my bed made, get my sheets changed, get my

00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:19.760
dogs put away, get all my laundry folded and

00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:27.159
hung up. So somebody just check on me in the

00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:28.400
next couple days and make sure that I'm still

00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.400
breathing. If you don't see me on here, it's

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:34.039
because I've completely expired under the avalanche

00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:39.239
of things on my to -do list. And my hair's not

00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:41.940
drying like I want it to. Because I didn't put

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:48.579
nothing in it. I'm just letting it dry. So. That's

00:46:48.579 --> 00:46:49.960
awesome, Shannon. I like that. I try to hold

00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:51.639
Jesus so tight I can hear his heartbeat. I get

00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.519
that. No matter how tightly I hang on to Jesus,

00:46:54.659 --> 00:46:56.860
he's got a lot tighter hold on me. His grip's

00:46:56.860 --> 00:47:00.780
a lot stronger than mine is. Sherry's asking

00:47:00.780 --> 00:47:06.059
if there's anybody from O -H -I -O. Oh, hi. Lisa.

00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:10.300
Lisa and Amanda's in Montana. Get it together.

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:16.260
I'm so excited. This is how connections happen

00:47:16.260 --> 00:47:21.099
on the porch. See, right? There's some Arkansas

00:47:21.099 --> 00:47:24.460
in there. We should start like Arkansas SBT porch.

00:47:25.539 --> 00:47:27.960
Missouri porch. Mississippi porch. Michigan porch.

00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:37.099
Montana porch. There's no Trump porch. There's

00:47:37.099 --> 00:47:41.079
not like a membership day. Start a porch. Invite

00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:46.920
people to it. See? People are meeting. I love

00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.099
it. Sherry and Madison are talking in Ohio. Power

00:47:50.099 --> 00:47:55.280
of the porch. Completely lost your shit. Natasha's

00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:56.800
in Chattanooga, which is right beside Cleveland,

00:47:56.940 --> 00:47:59.659
which is where my grandparents are from. It's

00:47:59.659 --> 00:48:05.380
a pretty place. Do you have time to tell the

00:48:05.380 --> 00:48:07.019
pick and valley of your day, the best and worst

00:48:07.019 --> 00:48:10.559
part? The best part of my day? I was getting

00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:14.059
three silkies. You know how much I love my little

00:48:14.059 --> 00:48:17.320
silkies. And I don't know. I had a good day.

00:48:17.380 --> 00:48:20.280
It was just a busy day, and I got too hot. Worst

00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:22.719
part of my day is I didn't get to go to the tanning

00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:24.579
bed, and I haven't eaten yet. But I haven't had

00:48:24.579 --> 00:48:26.260
an appetite. It's because I'm working so hard,

00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:28.940
and I got hot. So all in all, it was kind of

00:48:28.940 --> 00:48:32.179
a pretty even calibrated day. Nothing major,

00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:35.280
nothing minor. You know, just kind of rolling

00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.139
with the homies. This is a dress, and it's got

00:48:38.139 --> 00:48:42.599
a... sensed waste which makes it like pool sorry

00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:48.300
thank you tracy last time on thursday i used

00:48:48.300 --> 00:48:50.159
the curl cream i used the coconut curl cream

00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.559
and i think i'll use that again it's just kind

00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.820
of it's humid and i'm just letting it dry natural

00:48:54.820 --> 00:48:56.380
because i don't like to put heat on it all the

00:48:56.380 --> 00:48:58.559
time but i am happy to say that my hair's not

00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.340
looking as brassy as i thought it would considering

00:49:00.340 --> 00:49:02.420
that i've washed it so many times still keeping

00:49:02.420 --> 00:49:10.460
its its color loving it we have a porch chat

00:49:10.460 --> 00:49:14.360
group so it's on the it's on the messenger so

00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:19.820
you can subscribe you know i should do that samantha

00:49:19.820 --> 00:49:21.599
i also have two or three of them turbines that

00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.739
are hanging there on the back of the door that

00:49:22.739 --> 00:49:24.340
i haven't even used yet but you know it's just

00:49:24.340 --> 00:49:25.900
it's whatever i just thought i'd just sit out

00:49:25.900 --> 00:49:27.239
here in the night air tonight just let it just

00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.400
continue to get wetter not getting any dryer

00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:35.900
i love this virginia check in sandy is looking

00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:39.000
for you Lori's going to go back to the casinos

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:40.739
and the bars tomorrow. We might as well. If that's

00:49:40.739 --> 00:49:41.860
the reason you have to go, it's the reason you

00:49:41.860 --> 00:49:46.719
have to go. Tracy, I'm trying to create a silky

00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:50.780
phoenix mix, which I know is probably not of

00:49:50.780 --> 00:49:51.860
God. It's going to look like a chicken with a

00:49:51.860 --> 00:49:53.559
mullet. It's just going to be all fuzzy on top

00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:57.780
and then have long tail feathers. Billy Ray chicken.

00:50:01.579 --> 00:50:07.989
Anyway. I love this. Look at you. What days do

00:50:07.989 --> 00:50:10.250
I have available? If it's not booked on the website,

00:50:10.429 --> 00:50:13.309
then it's available. And if it's not on that

00:50:13.309 --> 00:50:16.969
big poster above my name on my Facebook, then

00:50:16.969 --> 00:50:21.530
the date's available. So, if you see... Oh, at

00:50:21.530 --> 00:50:23.050
least I use the purple shampoo all the time.

00:50:23.090 --> 00:50:25.510
Hello. Shimmer Lights. It's my favorite. My granny's

00:50:25.510 --> 00:50:30.130
been using it for years. So, if you get on my

00:50:30.130 --> 00:50:32.150
website and you're like, what does she have on

00:50:32.150 --> 00:50:34.900
September the 12th? Nothing. That's the day I'll

00:50:34.900 --> 00:50:38.139
book her. It's that simple. Everything I have

00:50:38.139 --> 00:50:42.000
is listed. I didn't get lowlights. I just got

00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.900
highlights. My friend Monica Brimmer up at the

00:50:44.900 --> 00:50:47.460
parlor in Northern Kentucky in Burlington did

00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:50.840
that two weeks ago. So, and she put them, like,

00:50:50.980 --> 00:50:53.519
all the way into my hairline so when I wear my

00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:57.239
hair up, it doesn't show. It doesn't have, like,

00:50:57.300 --> 00:50:58.960
a demarcation line. So she did a really good

00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:04.070
job. Don't judge her on the cut right now. The

00:51:04.070 --> 00:51:05.610
color is what I'm looking at because I'm letting

00:51:05.610 --> 00:51:11.110
it dry naturally. So, y 'all have your mission

00:51:11.110 --> 00:51:15.050
porch. Get together. Visit with each other. Follow

00:51:15.050 --> 00:51:17.210
each other. Make friends. Find me a gig. And

00:51:17.210 --> 00:51:18.769
then I'll come and visit both of you, three of

00:51:18.769 --> 00:51:20.269
you, four of you, five of you, however many there

00:51:20.269 --> 00:51:25.829
are on your porch. We'll all go together. So

00:51:25.829 --> 00:51:35.099
there you are. It's good to know. I've got a

00:51:35.099 --> 00:51:39.800
hair in my face. There it is. There it is. There

00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:41.219
it is. There it is. I can see it in the reflection.

00:51:44.420 --> 00:51:50.500
So, I love that you all are connecting. Tracy,

00:51:50.500 --> 00:51:51.900
I'll check that. Thank you so much for telling

00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:57.340
me. So, tomorrow is Tuesday, which means that

00:51:57.340 --> 00:52:04.119
the restore is open. Samantha, before I forget,

00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:06.320
Sean sent you the stuff for November the 7th.

00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:08.340
We're so excited about it. So just let me know

00:52:08.340 --> 00:52:09.559
if you have any questions, comments, concerns,

00:52:09.579 --> 00:52:10.980
requests, anything that we need to do between

00:52:10.980 --> 00:52:13.139
now and then. Besides, you know, contracts and

00:52:13.139 --> 00:52:15.280
posters and stuff like that. But anyway, just

00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:16.380
wanted to tell you to look out for your email

00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:18.139
because he sent that out today. And I hadn't

00:52:18.139 --> 00:52:20.519
had a chance to talk to you. This is how we catch

00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:27.679
up. This is how we catch up. I just pretend I'm

00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:29.440
on the phone with you. I know there's 200 people

00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:31.659
watching. But I'm specifically talking to you,

00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:34.260
Samantha. And have you put them plants in the

00:52:34.260 --> 00:52:35.559
ground yet? Because you need to get them in the

00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.019
ground before the first frost hits in September.

00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:45.039
So, just saying. All right, friends, well, that's

00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:47.119
all I know besides having two rose bushes, coneflowers,

00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:48.800
black -eyed seasons, and a gardenia on the porch

00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:50.059
that I have to plant tomorrow, including two

00:52:50.059 --> 00:52:51.699
hostas and a lily that I just found out there

00:52:51.699 --> 00:52:53.780
today that I forgot to plant two weeks ago. I'm

00:52:53.780 --> 00:52:56.519
telling you, I'm just not with it. This backyard

00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:58.579
is looking like the Viet Cong at this point.

00:52:58.599 --> 00:52:59.920
My fence is falling down. I'm going to have to

00:52:59.920 --> 00:53:01.380
get the Amish to come help me put it back up.

00:53:01.420 --> 00:53:02.980
It's too wet and it's too heavy to put it by

00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:08.539
myself. Just need some friends. Just need some

00:53:08.539 --> 00:53:10.159
local friends that can just be like, please come

00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:17.489
over and help me. So that's all I know. All right,

00:53:17.489 --> 00:53:18.949
friends. Well, that's it from this side of the

00:53:18.949 --> 00:53:20.389
porch to Sydney. Keep your Bibles up and your

00:53:20.389 --> 00:53:21.650
powder down your head on a swivel because people

00:53:21.650 --> 00:53:24.010
are acting crazy. Be nice to other people, animals,

00:53:24.070 --> 00:53:25.269
and children. Try to love your neighbor if you

00:53:25.269 --> 00:53:26.289
can't give it to God because he loves you and

00:53:26.289 --> 00:53:27.670
I do too. And until I see you again tomorrow,

00:53:27.889 --> 00:53:30.869
remember, friends, I'm Sarah Beth Terry. You're

00:53:30.869 --> 00:53:31.630
not. Bye.
