00:00:15
BTM
Headphones.
00:00:15
Logan Howard
um Let's just say today has been a very ah poor tech day. Things are not working the way they should. um Audio is not working the way it should. um Video is not working the way it should, and it's one of those days where the best laid plans of mice and men are just completely ah burning in the middle of the river.
00:00:28
BTM
Headphones.
00:00:39
Logan Howard
So ah with that being said, hopefully you'll enjoy what we have today. It's going to be back to more of our older content.

00:01:21
BTM
I'm losing the will to live.
00:01:22
Logan Howard
Yep.
00:01:25
BTM

00:01:26
Logan Howard
Across three different apps.
00:01:29
BTM

00:01:31
Logan Howard
Yep. Three different apps. Let's see. It's been so ah you you've been trying to get your Mac to work. You are on your computer and then you're on your phone.

00:01:52
Logan Howard
Well, anyway, other than the crazy technology, how are you doing, Brendan?
00:01:56
BTM
amazing, amazing. well the irish revial was amazing amazing And we, my team and I were up at 5.30 every morning praying for somewhere between one and three hours a day and for three weeks in the run up to us.
00:02:17
Logan Howard
a lot.
00:02:17
BTM
And am looking at my screen and whenever you speak, there are sound marks. Whenever I speak, it's flatlining. Can you see that too?
00:02:30
Logan Howard
Um, no, yeah I can see your your audio, so you're good. You're good. and my
00:02:33
BTM

Logan Howard
Nope, this is it.

Irish Revival Impact and Spiritual Experiences
00:03:21
Logan Howard
yeah.
00:03:21
BTM
her
00:03:22
Logan Howard
Well, anyway, anyway, how many people did you have for your revival? was it ah Was it bigger than some of your previous ones?
00:03:29
BTM
It's interesting, actually. We had fewer people than we had the last one. The last one we had about 150.
00:03:34
Logan Howard
okay
00:03:34
BTM
But things were breaking off the congregation. I'll be honest. I don't even really use that word. i normally call them our guests.
00:03:42
Logan Howard
yeah
00:03:42
BTM
And things were breaking off at far greater speed. And it was am amazing. I mean... Deliverances upon deliverances upon deliverances. and Praying for people and do they just you know drop down under the anointing of God and under the power of Holy Spirit. a
00:04:06
BTM
Decades old trauma and issues just coming out of people. i um We have these like flower pots with they little little bags in them. And sometimes there will be a physical reaction to what's happening in the supernatural.
00:04:23
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:04:24
BTM
Holy Spirit might just say you trauma, and next thing is like they're vomiting up a spirit of trauma, you know? um But it's just... It was just it was it was fabulous.
00:04:34
BTM
Really, really amazing. um I think at our first revival, people came suspicious. They were very blessed and loved it, but came suspicious.
00:04:45
BTM
I think at our second revival, people came... ready Pretty chilled out overall. They came in with their teacups and their coffee mugs from downstairs.
00:04:57
BTM
But it took them two or three worship songs to really get into the flow.
00:05:02
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:05:02
BTM
And this time people came desperate. Desperate from having been bribed and worn down by the enemy and desperate for a touch from Jesus knowing he was the only one who was going to save them.
00:05:16
BTM
i And it showed. Yeah, the teachings were great.
00:05:20
Logan Howard
Wow.
00:05:23
BTM
i always give the communion sermon, so this time, don't know, I probably kept it at under 10 minutes, maybe 7 minutes, 8 minutes max.
00:05:25
Logan Howard
Hmm.
00:05:35
BTM
um And sometimes you teach something and you just know it's landing. You just know, okay, this this was a God thing. Holy Spirit really gave this to me to preach.
00:05:46
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:05:46
BTM
So yeah, the sermons were great. Testaments were great. The deliverances, physical healings, and deep soul healings, mental and emotional healings. It was just fabulous to see.
00:06:04
BTM
So in May, and we're going to go back to our and's venue from revival number one.
Future Revival Events and Expansion Plans
00:06:11
BTM
which is 1700s mansion with a massive big property and and a forest and lake and everything.
00:06:18
BTM
And that's just going to be for men. so we'll do, you know, worship by the campfire. You know, we'll guy talk. um Wild at Heart style teachings and discussions more than likely.
00:06:34
Logan Howard
nice
00:06:34
BTM
I know John Eldridge is a, you're probably is a number one fan. I've only read that one book, but have say it was very good. I did enjoy it. um Sometimes just know someone has struck gold. We're going to do kayaking. We'll be sports. So it'll be real, real, real, real manly stuff. You know, lots of testosterone. It's all about stamina and likes. am And then in September, going have another revival open to everybody.
00:07:04
BTM
And what we're hoping to do actually is to have a fully fledged kids church program running simultaneously. So of the kids currently, they have, they've got kids corner, but actually want to create a room just for them with them godly leaders who have a particular heart for children and and can demystify
00:07:17
Logan Howard
No. Yeah.
00:07:31
BTM
big concepts and made them very digestible for the kids in a way that's that's fun, in a way that shows the fun the love of Jesus. In November, we're going an event just for the ladies, called Radiant, a which is going to be amazing as well. It'll be revival style, a bit more conference style, but kind of have a revival element as well, and a particularly helping women to find their voice.
00:08:01
BTM
step into everything God has for them, because he loves his daughters. He really does. And considering the majority of the body of Christ has always been women, and the first European to ever get saved was a woman, and God has a very particular plan for his daughters to step up and take their place in the body of Christ and the world these days. So we're going be creating a space for that.
00:08:29
Logan Howard
Awesome.
00:08:29
BTM
And we are more than likely going to start doing house meetings or maybe even sports hall meetings or community center meetings. um Maybe beginning from April or May here in Ireland. We're doing them every month in the UK.
00:08:47
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:08:47
BTM
But I think the zeal and the fervor in Ireland is such that we can actually start doing them one Saturday a month as well.
00:08:58
BTM
And then we have a lot of interest from Corkonians. Cork is our biggest county. It's as south in Ireland as you can go, while still being in mainland Ireland.
00:09:10
BTM
And we've had about five Corkonians asking, when are you coming down here? I'll be honest, they were not on our to-do list. i But i we're probably going to look into and having a revival down there, down south.
00:09:26
Logan Howard
nice
00:09:26
BTM
And then also in imaginary Ireland, because, again, Ireland does not exist.
00:09:30
Logan Howard
yeah
00:09:31
BTM
There's one Ireland, a United Ireland, but there's ah there are parts of the country which are very confused at present. And we've got people who've been coming down from them the last couple of revivals as well.
00:09:43
BTM
And several hours, actually. So we're thinking of maybe treating them... he to maybe a revival or a house meeting as well.
00:09:54
BTM
And they're very close to the Giant's Causeway, which is our second most famous tourist attraction on the island. So it's all happened. It's all going down.
00:10:06
Logan Howard
yeah
00:10:06
BTM
But um it's stepping out that one time in June just to be obedient to God. And... Then he just opened the door and said, come back in November. Different venue, but I will send the people.
00:10:21
BTM
And this year, we thought we would have our work cut out for us with four events, but say it's looking very likely that he's going to be multiplying that by two, three, or four. And that's, mean, to one side, everything we're doing in the UK and Germany and roman Romania and Australia are all looking very likely between and found January as well.
00:10:49
Logan Howard
Hmm.
00:10:52
BTM
So it's all going down. It's all happening. But the world needs revival. The world just needs that touch from Jesus. The world is upside down. Only Jesus can put it the right side up. And and the days of playing church...
00:11:10
BTM
And pretending that the same old, same old is working. It's over. It's time for Christians to stop lying to themselves. um where You can lie to yourself and convince yourself.
00:11:24
BTM
You cannot lie to God and convince him of your lie. That's the reality of it. And so it's a new day, new era, new strategies.
00:11:36
BTM
And all the new strategies are are the old ones, the biblical ones. And kind of you know, going back to basics.
00:11:41
Logan Howard
yeah
00:11:44
BTM
But I'm... No, very, very exciting. And then today I met up with some people who were guests at our revival. They were 30 minutes down the road from me. So I went to support what they're doing too.
00:11:57
BTM
And it's so beautiful just to see how God is moving in the nation and moving in the lives of unexpected people, people all whose names I had not known before, people who don't have big titles and massive platforms and yeah yada, yadda yada, yada, yakity, shmackity.
00:12:18
BTM
But they do have the heart for Jesus and a heart for people, a heart for his body and a heart for the lost. That's a winning combination.
00:12:29
Logan Howard
Yeah, that's awesome. It's awesome. I was thinking, ah and Brandon doesn't know this brendon doesn't know this, because I have been working, ah i was trying to figure out how could I make it to the men's thing.
00:12:43
Logan Howard
um I did try.
00:12:44
BTM
Thanks.
00:12:45
Logan Howard
it was not going to be possible because of... um a specific event that's happening the same weekend that i've already given my word that i would be there but it was very close to happening because i was doing the math and finding all the plane tickets and looking at all the things to see if it would if i could have feasibly afford to do it but it is not because i i my schedule is booked so but it was close what was that
00:12:57
BTM
hey
00:13:14
BTM
Ah, pity. i looked confess Join in September for the... That's
00:13:21
Logan Howard
For the women's thing? ni
00:13:23
BTM
November. I was going to say the all-gender, all-age revival, all-gender sounds a bit woke. I do mean men and women only.
00:13:32
Logan Howard
Yes, yes.
00:13:34
BTM
And children. Okay.
00:13:36
Logan Howard
Yes. So, but it is, it's wonderful to hear the ministry going forth in Ireland. Um, my uncle, I know this past week had sent a, uh, an article about revival in England and was like, does your, does your friend know about this? And I'm like, yeah, that's what he does. Um, is he does revival in Ireland. So, um, as well as England too, right? You've, you've done stuff there too. So it's, it's across the globe and, uh, it's really exciting to see, um that people are being willing to listen and willing to go to these kind of things and open their hearts to to Christ. So we definitely need to be on the forefront of preparing for ministry, getting ready to be able to help in those things, because God's Word's still valid and still relevant today.
00:14:23
Logan Howard
So it's still still needed across the globe.
00:14:23
BTM
Amen.
00:14:26
Logan Howard
um So thank you for your update. um It's an encouragement, a blessing, and an honor to have ah heard about it and to be able to hear that God is still working today.
00:14:38
Logan Howard
That is always encouraging for everybody. Yeah.
Power of Intercessory Prayer in Revivals
00:14:41
BTM
Amen. Amen. Absolutely, because we have an intercessory team who pray from beginning to end during it.
00:14:45
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:14:49
BTM
And um i don't want to mind Joshua Generation girls, and Lisa, to pray the intercessory team.
00:14:57
Logan Howard
Mm-hmm.
00:14:58
BTM
And um she's ah a baby doctor. And after she prayed the intercessory team, she had to back to work. And c m she was treating a baby who is comatose.
00:15:13
Logan Howard
Mm-hmm.
00:15:14
BTM
but but And she just asked the parents, can I pray for your baby? And they were like, okay. She prayed for the baby and the baby woke up up there and then.
00:15:27
BTM
but but And then she went into the next room. She wasn't even supposed to, but there was an emergency and someone had to go in. um And they were like, the baby's heart isn't beating. And look at the monitor and it's flatlining, you know, beep.
00:15:43
BTM
So she prayed for the baby and next thing, beep, beep, beep, the baby's heart starts beating. And... What we have been praying for isn't, because I'm not into event Christianity.
00:15:56
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:15:56
BTM
I have hosted event Christianity.
00:15:59
Logan Howard
Yes.
00:16:00
BTM
I've been doing it for 12 years. So I can tell you, I hate it.
00:16:08
BTM
I hate the art artificiality putting so many resources into a day that bears fear.
00:16:11
Logan Howard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:16:18
BTM
Pretty much no fruit, or at least nothing long-lasting. Nothing that lasts a week or a month. Can't stand it. Better things to be at. i But what we were praying this time was that people, the guests, the intercessors, and the workers, the worker bees, would all catch the revival fire and take it with them into their world, into their
00:16:43
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:16:43
BTM
and into their families, their workplace, their sports teams, whatever, their churches, their relationships, that there would be holy spirit sparks and lightning bolts coming out of their feet, holy spirit members and earthquakes, and taking the ground wherever they go, shaking what can be shaken, so that what is of God remains and his will cemented and established.
00:17:13
BTM
And it's wonderful just to see what God's been doing.
00:17:15
Logan Howard
That's awesome.
00:17:18
Logan Howard
That is
Approach to Genuine Spiritual Encounters
00:17:19
Logan Howard
awesome.
00:17:19
BTM
and
00:17:19
Logan Howard
Awesome indeed. Praise the Lord. um So as we transition into a little bit of a sillier time, what we're going to be doing next is we are going to be um playing these Wordle games. And some of you may know what that means. Some of you may not. But if you have any questions or if you want to get in touch with how can you be a part of helping with the revivals, um we'll have a link in the description for Brendan Thomas Merritt where you can get a hold of him. You can send an email to us from du to cleveland at And we will make sure you get connected to Brendan so that you can join in some of these revivals. You can help. you know They always need more volunteers to pray. at
00:18:03
Logan Howard
minimum, and they always need people to help event and run the organization too. So if you have any of those interests, you can send us an email from Dublin to Cleveland at gmail.com and we will get you a hold of Brendan so that he can plug it in um because
00:18:18
BTM
Or if you're a desperado in need of rescuing, if you're a damsel in distress or a dude in distress, the idea still makes sense.
00:18:29
BTM
And the people in your world just don't have faith for your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual healing. come along as one of our guests. a It's a case where we don't promise anything because we are just people.
00:18:45
BTM
What we will do is we will create a space where we show up and show Christ so Holy Spirit can show up and show off.
00:18:46
Logan Howard
Yes.
00:18:56
Logan Howard
yes
00:18:57
BTM
And you'll be in the the safest hands because it's all for His glory, not our own celebrity or prestige.
00:19:08
BTM
And that is one thing which we determined the right beginning we would not be doing is that doing this for our own glory as a other revival ministries have very infamously done and much to the harm and detriment of the body of Christ on the whole.
Invitation to Revival Events
00:19:26
BTM
am But yeah, get in touch and we'd love to see you there.
00:19:32
Logan Howard
There you All right. So we are going to be playing Wordle is going to be our first game. So this is just going to be a word in general. um It is going to be five-letter words.
00:19:44
Logan Howard
And so we're going to be working as a team to get this done. So we'll go back and forth off of guesses. But what an example is...
00:19:50
BTM
Pass that. Pass that.
00:19:53
Logan Howard
um For instance, yeah, pasta.
00:19:55
BTM
pasta
00:19:57
Logan Howard
And let's say the P in pasta is correct and it's in the correct place, then it it will be green. um If it's the right letter but in the wrong place, it would be yellow.
00:20:09
Logan Howard
And then if it's not in there at all, it would be gray. But none of that means anything to any of you because none of you are seeing what I am seeing. So I will try to do my best to explain what we need to figure out this word.
00:20:23
Logan Howard
So...
00:20:24
BTM
Can I just jump in there, please? I need you to say the name of that food again.
00:20:27
Logan Howard
Of course.
00:20:32
Logan Howard
Pasta?
00:20:34
BTM
Okay, this time I need you to say it properly. It's past.
00:20:37
Logan Howard
Pasta!
00:20:41
BTM
What is that? It's past.
00:20:46
Logan Howard
You want some pasta?
00:20:46
BTM
That's an excuse.
00:20:47
Logan Howard
Some Parmigiano Reggaetano pasta?
00:20:50
BTM
I've heard that American food is not even food that it's crap. Well, let me tell you, ever I go to the US of and someone offers pasta, I will get up and I will walk out that door.
00:20:59
Logan Howard
Yeah, it's fake news.
00:21:05
BTM
Pasta. Good one.
00:21:06
Logan Howard
Some pasta. It's past your eyes.
00:21:08
BTM
It's pasta. well Learn how to speak, Americans.
00:21:19
BTM
ah You might be a baby on the world stage at only 200 years old, but it's past. Okay? Sorry, we European countries and British islands, we've been around for quite a while. but we We speak correctly. We know what we're saying.
00:21:38
BTM
It's past.
00:21:39
Logan Howard
got spell a color with an o ah U in it. We can't have a color. We've got to have a color because we're French. Okay.
00:21:58
BTM
I don't think I'm going to respond to that.
00:22:02
BTM
That
Wordle Game Explanation
00:22:05
Logan Howard
All right. Anyway.
00:22:05
BTM
might be like scangery London, but that's not, that's not right.
00:22:10
Logan Howard
Anyway, anyway, with all that being said, we digress, we digress. So, um Brendan, I need a word.
00:22:15
BTM
It's bad. bed
00:22:18
Logan Howard
Give me a five-letter word, and then we'll plug that in and see how many letters we've got correct.
00:22:24
BTM
I want to say pasta, I'll be honest, but I might pick something that doesn't have a the same letter repeated. Hang on. Now
00:22:36
BTM
think of apple, which has two peas. I can do this. I was an English teacher up until two Fridays ago. I know words.
00:22:46
Logan Howard
Yes.
00:22:48
Logan Howard
Yes.
00:22:49
BTM
Is there a number with five letters?
00:22:57
Logan Howard
Eight.
00:22:58
BTM
see Yes, I was getting that. I was on number seven when you spoke.
00:23:07
BTM
It is after eight. Eight.
00:23:08
Logan Howard
And he's over here making me fun, making fun of me. Yeah.
00:23:14
BTM
it is
00:23:17
Logan Howard
Eight. Eight. That's the word we're going with. All right, let's see.
00:23:21
BTM
As in the number, not the past, simple of eat.
00:23:26
Logan Howard
All right. It has been entered, and ah the G is the third letter. So the G is the third letter in this word.
00:23:37
BTM
I need a pen and paper to write all this time.
00:23:38
Logan Howard
Yeah, probably.
00:23:39
BTM
Okay.
00:23:40
Logan Howard
Anyway, the G is the third letter, and the E is in the word, but it is not the first letter.
00:23:44
BTM
Okay.
00:23:48
Logan Howard
So we have G in the middle, and E correct. So, this is an interesting one, because having the letter G in the middle of a word and HT being absolutely incorrect is kind of...
00:24:07
Logan Howard
Kinda crazy. So, for my guess, um let's go if
00:24:27
Logan Howard
Let's go with that, maybe.
00:24:33
Logan Howard
Alright, we have learned nothing from mine, which was a beggar that got us nothing.
00:24:39
BTM
Beggar?
00:24:40
Logan Howard
Yes, beggar.
00:24:44
BTM
How do you think beggar is spelled?
00:24:48
Logan Howard
I was just going for more letters, man. That's all I'm going for. this is not an english This is not an Englishly graded assignment. This is just trying to get something. So we got nothing.
00:25:00
Logan Howard
It was absolutely worthless. That was a waste of time. Anyway.
00:25:03
BTM
Yeah. How did you misspell beggar?
00:25:06
Logan Howard
How did I misspell beggar?
00:25:08
BTM
Yeah.
00:25:10
Logan Howard
Does it have a double G? Is that what I'm missing here?
00:25:14
BTM
Yeah. But tell me exactly how you misspelled beggar.
00:25:15
Logan Howard
Okay. I didn't.
00:25:19
Logan Howard
I did not. I did not put the double G in it.
00:25:22
BTM
No, I need to hear from the very beginning, please.
00:25:26
Logan Howard
No, you don't.
00:25:27
BTM
I assume you made two mistakes. Go on.
00:25:29
Logan Howard
Why do you assume I made two mistakes?
00:25:32
BTM
Because you're beating around the bush and you're avoiding answering my question like it's a plague.
00:25:39
Logan Howard
What would be my other mistake I would make? What what possibly could have done?
00:25:41
BTM
What was your second last letter?
00:25:44
Logan Howard
The second to last what letter? Or I threw an A in there just for fun?
00:25:53
BTM
staank waled
00:25:59
Logan Howard
So I can tell you for sure that B, A, and R are not in the word. So there you go.
00:26:05
BTM
rise
00:26:06
Logan Howard
I can also tell you that E is not the second letter. So E is not the first letter, not the second letter, but it is in the word.
00:26:19
Logan Howard
But G is still the third letter.
00:26:22
BTM
Okay, my second guess was going to be legit, but obviously the T is not correct, nor is the i a So, let me see.
00:26:30
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:26:33
BTM
How many guesses do we have? This
00:26:35
Logan Howard
We have six guesses. We've used two so far.
00:26:38
BTM
is an absolute disgrace.
00:26:40
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:26:42
Logan Howard
Yes. It is a disgrace because I spelled things completely wrong. But that's okay. I was homeschooled, folks, and homeschoolers are not great spellers.
00:26:53
Logan Howard
Just saying. case you are also a homeschooler and you also don't know how to spell. Ferris or Juicy.
00:26:59
BTM
I'm pretty sure if you look back for our catalogue, there's an episode of you insulting people people who went to public school, and I'm just going to have like root that out someday and be like, podcatl black.
00:27:13
Logan Howard
Hey, at least I don't misspell my own child's name like some people in public school do. So, you know.
00:27:22
BTM
I don't think I'm either using your novel.
00:27:23
Logan Howard
LaDasha. Let's spell it with L-A and then a dash A.
00:27:29
BTM
Right, let me see. I have a sneaky suspicion that E is the last letter.
00:27:36
BTM
Could it be a place? Or is it a word? An or something? like re verb? and Not the first letter, it's not the same.
00:27:48
Logan Howard
It could be. just a word. It doesn't really have a category.
00:28:03
BTM
It's not cigar because there's no I, A, or or.
00:28:13
BTM
We said that after our last two episodes, which are very lengthy in Hollywood, this would be a nice, short, easy episode. I think we need to renege on that.
00:28:22
Logan Howard
Yep, we're just going to go as long as it goes, folks.
00:28:23
BTM
We think
00:28:25
Logan Howard
So you're stuck with the dulcet tones of Brandon Thomas Merritt and Logan Howard arguing over spelling.
00:28:27
BTM
yeah
00:28:33
Logan Howard
Yeah,
00:28:34
BTM
I just have to do the one more and wrap this up. It might already be like 65 minutes.
00:28:39
Logan Howard
yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, there's definitely one person out there I can probably think of who it is that is listening to this and going, I've already figured it out. How did these these two guys not figure it out
Wordle Game Rounds and Strategies
00:28:50
Logan Howard
yet?
00:28:50
Logan Howard
So that has already happened.
00:28:53
BTM
Well, it's not right because there's no or I hate your teeth.
00:29:09
Logan Howard
This wouldn't be like D-O-G-G-Y, would it?
00:29:15
Logan Howard
Like, I know it's America. America does this quiz.
00:29:19
BTM
Well, this is what I'm thinking. and i i meant to ask this, actually, and then you misspelled beggar.
00:29:22
Logan Howard
Could it be called Double G?
00:29:29
BTM
The fact that we only put G in once, does that mean there is only one G? Could there potentially be another G?
00:29:37
Logan Howard
There could be another one, yeah. Because we got it on the first go, we got it for sure as the third letter, it won't tell us if there's another one.
00:29:45
BTM
No, but doggy...
00:29:47
Logan Howard
It wouldn't work because of the e We have to fit an E somewhere in there.
00:29:49
BTM
you need to have an E.
00:29:55
BTM
Okay, let's see. And...
00:30:06
Logan Howard
I will say one of the tips and tricks is to just completely just throw out a completely new word just to see what letters actually fit and then will help us down the line. But
00:30:17
BTM
You can do that in your train.
00:30:21
Logan Howard
okay. I already did. It didn't work.
00:30:27
BTM
Guys, if it seems like I'm short-tempered at Logan today, i just have no emotion because we spent an hour and a half on the techno crap, okay?
00:30:33
Logan Howard
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah.
00:30:36
BTM
and My issue is not with him.
00:30:37
Logan Howard
I'm not taking any of it personally. I'm not taking any of personally.
00:30:39
BTM
My issue is with technology. Absolutely.
00:30:41
Logan Howard
Yeah. I'm not taking any of personally, so don't worry, guys. He can yell and shout at me all he likes.
00:30:48
BTM
oh no oh no
00:30:52
BTM

00:30:57
Logan Howard
Yeah, we'll just title this one episode the one where we shout at each other a lot.
00:31:15
BTM
oh no oh no No, it's not the second. e is not the second letter and there's no way. was going to say a vegan.
00:31:25
Logan Howard
Oh, yeah. Yeah, no.
00:31:34
BTM
Is it acceptable just put down five letters even though it doesn't actually make a word? That's acceptable.
00:31:43
Logan Howard
Yes, that is acceptable.
00:31:46
BTM
Okay.
00:31:53
BTM
I think you actually told me to do this a while back and I, for whatever reason, was like, no. Alright, calm yourself down. Nice one.
00:32:07
BTM
My word is about 20 seconds old and it is ucgem. U-C-G-E-M. Ucgem. g e m okjem U-C-G-E-M.
00:32:24
BTM
That's M for money.
00:32:24
Logan Howard
Okay, well, apparently i was wrong. You do have to have an actual word.
00:32:31
BTM
S-S-S-P. Good one.
00:32:42
Logan Howard
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. wait wait Could this be angle?
00:32:50
BTM
No, because a is not in the word.
00:32:53
Logan Howard
Oh, that's right.
00:32:54
BTM
very Yeah.
00:33:00
BTM
Could it be angle? With an Not a word.
00:33:05
Logan Howard
En?
00:33:06
BTM
No, I'm messing.
00:33:07
Logan Howard
No, it can't be an en because e was the can't be the first letter.
00:33:10
BTM
Yeah, yeah. Well, plus it's not a word.
00:33:12
Logan Howard
What's a gl word that...
00:33:12
BTM
of
00:33:16
BTM
Glass.
00:33:17
Logan Howard
Sinjal? No.
00:33:19
BTM
I think the E is at the end. I think E is the fifth letter.
00:33:25
Logan Howard
So is it a G-L-E word then?
00:33:29
BTM
Yeah, why not?
00:33:31
Logan Howard
Okay.
00:33:32
BTM
a
00:33:36
BTM
So, gla.
00:33:42
BTM
I think the first letter is a vowel.
00:33:49
BTM
And it's not I and it's not A. So it has to be O or U.
00:33:54
Logan Howard
Could it be like Okay. like
00:33:57
BTM
No, that's four letters. I thought you. Um.
00:34:11
BTM
G. G.
00:34:16
BTM
G.
00:34:19
BTM
Woggle, ogle,
00:34:32
Logan Howard
Woggle?
00:34:32
BTM
ogle.
00:34:33
Logan Howard
No.
00:34:34
BTM
No, Woggle has two Gs.
00:34:35
Logan Howard
That's too many. Yeah, it's too many.
00:34:40
Logan Howard
This is a pickle.
00:34:41
BTM
Ugle, ogle.
00:34:49
BTM
I wish our listeners were like listening like live right now when they were just screaming the answer at us.
00:34:54
Logan Howard
Yes, you know, this is why we need to do a live version of this. We'll just go live on YouTube and yeah just post this after on whatever.
00:34:57
BTM
Yeah. It
00:35:02
Logan Howard
but
00:35:03
BTM
would save so much time on the upload and the videos and all crap.
00:35:07
Logan Howard
Oh, yeah. Yeah, we just...
00:35:10
BTM
We might have to that some point actually in the near future.
00:35:12
Logan Howard
Yes, we might. We'll have to experiment with that.
00:35:19
BTM
And...
00:35:19
Logan Howard
Sounds like more technology problems, but...
00:35:22
BTM
Yeah. could it be... No, no, it's not a get word. There's no T.
00:35:36
BTM
And... No, there's no R. And that might not even be a word. This is not easy.
00:35:57
Logan Howard
Would it be like a... Is lager a word? Or that have two Gs?
00:36:03
BTM
eues And there's no or.
00:36:09
Logan Howard
Hmm.
00:36:14
BTM
We're not allowed to use our phones so soon.
00:36:15
Logan Howard
Ooh. What about low Logos? L-O-G-O-S.
00:36:22
Logan Howard
I know that doesn't have an E, but...
00:36:28
Logan Howard
Legos?
00:36:31
BTM
No.
00:36:32
Logan Howard
No, because the E would be in the wrong place.
00:36:32
BTM
you
00:36:36
BTM
The fact that we know it has an E, do we have to choose a word that has an E?
00:36:42
Logan Howard
No. We can test something else without the E.
00:36:47
BTM
Because... but Logos. Yeah, okay.
00:36:58
BTM
My only concern about logos... oo is that we would be using two O's and knowing that we're not using an E. So...
00:37:08
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:37:10
BTM
name
00:37:14
BTM
You know what, we'll go with it for now because i'm I do think there's an L in there, I really do.
00:37:19
Logan Howard
Okay. So let's do...
00:37:22
BTM
we need There has to be one more vowel, so it's an O or it's a you So let's go with logos just for for the crack.
00:37:23
Logan Howard
Yeah. yeah
00:37:29
Logan Howard
All right. Let's see All right. So here's what we got. So we have... There's not an L.
00:37:38
BTM
Okay.
00:37:39
Logan Howard
There is not an S, but we do the second letter is confirmed to be an O.
00:37:44
BTM
Yeah, okay, that makes things ever so slightly be clearer.
00:37:48
Logan Howard
So for sure it's an OG in the middle.
00:37:52
BTM
And there's an E somewhere.
00:37:53
Logan Howard
And there's an E in the one of the last two is an e
00:37:59
BTM
Yes, of course, yes. I know what it is. no I don't. was gonna say rogue, but we can't use an ore.
00:38:10
BTM
am
00:38:13
BTM
Is loog a word? no there's no L.
00:38:16
Logan Howard
No L. Moog? Mug? Fogger? No.
00:38:31
Logan Howard
Fogger? No, it's no no R. keep forgetting that.
00:38:35
BTM
I have a sneaky suspicion.
00:38:37
Logan Howard
Fogged. What about fogged? Is that two Gs?
00:38:41
BTM
That's two Gs. I have a sneaky suspicion it's something O-G-U-E.
00:38:52
BTM
I think after the G, there's a U. And it's not wrong.
00:38:55
Logan Howard
The only word, it's not rogue.
00:38:57
BTM
I can't
00:39:00
Logan Howard
Dogue.
00:39:03
Logan Howard
Jogue. Cogue. Pogue.
00:39:08
BTM
hold my own.
00:39:09
Logan Howard
Vogue. Vogue. What about Vogue?
00:39:11
BTM
nice That's exactly what it is. 100%
00:39:14
Logan Howard
What about Vogue? All right, let's see.
00:39:17
BTM
guaranteed. There
00:39:18
Logan Howard
We got it. We got it.
00:39:20
BTM
you go.
00:39:20
Logan Howard
It's Vogue. The answer is Vogue.
00:39:21
BTM
Well done. And it took us 22 minutes.
00:39:27
Logan Howard
All right. So folks, that was one.
00:39:30
BTM
I'm curious because all week, because of the trailer that came out for the sequel a week ago, I've been watching The Devil Wears Proud Eclipse. And that scene where Anne Hathaway has her of transformation from size six to fashion icon.
00:39:46
BTM
Madonna's song Vogue plays through that. I've been hearing the word Vogue about 30 times a day, every day, since last Friday. I'm annoyed it took that long.
00:39:58
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:39:59
BTM
Well done, that's that.
00:40:01
Logan Howard
That's it. Yep.
00:40:02
BTM
That's
00:40:02
Logan Howard
um Alright, so our next one is going to be a Lord of the Rings version of this.
Themed Wordle Games: LOTR, Star Wars, Math
00:40:13
Logan Howard
So, we're going it's going to be a word from Lord of the Rings, word from Lord the Rings, that is somewhere written by our dear friend Tolkien.
00:40:19
BTM
that. I love it.
00:40:25
Logan Howard
It's somewhere in one of the books. Hopefully it'll tell us when we get the word. um But the word is for sure five letters again. um so it's a five-letter word.
00:40:36
BTM
Rings.
00:40:37
Logan Howard
Could be names. Could...
00:40:39
BTM
Gimli.
00:40:41
Logan Howard
You want to go Gimli?
00:40:42
BTM
I don't know, do i
00:40:44
Logan Howard
i don't know. Whatever you want to start with. i'll let I'll let you pick the start. What is our first word?
00:40:49
BTM
Well, my first word was rings. The Lord of rings.
00:40:53
Logan Howard
That feels too easy.
00:40:57
BTM
Why does it? Maybe it's so easy that people would overlook out
00:41:02
Logan Howard
Man, if we could get it on the first go, just guess rings right away and just I think we should probably go with rings because it's more letters and it will help eliminate or um help us figure things out quicker.
00:41:07
BTM
It's either rings or it's Gimli.
00:41:15
BTM
More letters.
00:41:22
BTM
That's nice.
00:41:24
Logan Howard
So let's go rings. Let's see what we get. So...
00:41:26
BTM
Oh, it could be Arwen, my favorite character. But let's go Rings.
00:41:31
Logan Howard
Alright, let's guess rings first. We'll see what we got. Absolutely nothing. None of those letters. Burn them all.
00:41:38
BTM
What?
00:41:38
Logan Howard
No rings. No R, no I, no N, no G, or S.
00:41:42
BTM
Okay, well, it's not Arwen then either.
00:41:45
Logan Howard
Nope.
00:41:48
Logan Howard
Or Frodo.
00:41:51
BTM
that what you just typed in?
00:41:53
Logan Howard
No. It can't even be Bilbo.
00:41:56
BTM
Oh, sorry, yeah, because of the ore. Yeah, you're right, yeah.
00:41:58
Logan Howard
Can't even be Bilbo.
00:42:00
BTM
I was just about to say that.
00:42:02
Logan Howard
um
00:42:08
BTM
And it's not Gimli. Two eyes.
00:42:11
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:42:14
Logan Howard
Let's
00:42:20
Logan Howard
see. What would be a good...
00:42:21
BTM
It's not Mary.
00:42:24
Logan Howard
What's that?
00:42:25
BTM
It's not Mary.
00:42:27
Logan Howard
No.
00:42:27
BTM
and me Or why?
00:42:38
BTM
not trees. It's not horse.
00:42:47
BTM
but
00:42:48
Logan Howard
just saying it's not, okay?
00:42:49
BTM
It was never going to be that school, but yeah. Still isn't.
00:42:57
Logan Howard
It can't be yeah horse.
00:43:03
BTM
I hope our audience does kind of hear the squeaking of the chair that I'm sitting in.
00:43:07
Logan Howard
I hope they can't either, but if they can, you know what?
00:43:10
BTM
Yeah.
00:43:11
Logan Howard
It'll cut itself out. It'll be fine. um
00:43:27
Logan Howard
What should I go with? What do you think?
00:43:31
BTM
Something that doesn't have the letters or ingrs.
00:43:38
Logan Howard
Okay. All right. Very helpful. Yep. Yep. Got it.
00:43:43
Logan Howard
um Okay. So
00:43:48
BTM
Well, there is one good thing that we learned.
00:43:53
Logan Howard
what's that?
00:43:55
BTM
The vowels will either be E, e o or u
00:44:05
BTM
And it's not Urux, as in the Uruk-hai. It's
00:44:09
Logan Howard
Yeah. What about um
00:44:12
BTM
not Troll.
00:44:15
Logan Howard
is what about like something like what about tamed?
00:44:18
BTM
No, it's not Goblin. Goblin six letters. It's not...
00:44:24
Logan Howard
Like T-A-M-E-D. Is that would that work to give us enough different letters possibly? Because I i is figuring out a specific word that's entered in there is going to be challenging.
00:44:33
BTM
Yeah, okay.
00:44:36
Logan Howard
But if we can at least get a letter on the board here.
00:44:39
BTM
Yeah, okay, okay, okay.
00:44:40
Logan Howard
That might... ED. So it's an ED word. It ends in ED.
00:44:46
BTM
Excuse me. But it's not TAM. Okay, no TAM.
00:44:50
Logan Howard
It's not not tamed, no. Hmm.
00:44:52
BTM
Okay, well, here's the good thing. There's going to be at least one more vowel in there. I think the second letter is the vowel, and it's going to be...
00:45:06
BTM
Either another E, an O, or
00:45:12
Logan Howard
We know for sure there's no A and there's no i
00:45:30
Logan Howard
Ed, ends in ed.
00:45:45
Logan Howard
This couldn't be the word loved, could it?
00:45:52
BTM
I would have thought it would be more specific to...
00:45:57
BTM
I mean, okay, I get the characters, you know, love the Shire and some of them do fall in love and get married, but I thought it would have been a more specific word to the world.
00:46:02
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:46:05
BTM
But that said,
00:46:09
BTM
it would reveal if the other vowel was an O.
00:46:14
Logan Howard
Yeah. What do you think? Do you want to go with it?
00:46:34
Logan Howard
Pause for station identification. You are still live with Brendan Thomas Merritt and Logan Howard.
00:46:40
BTM
a deep in contemplation all these loitering quotes you know and you know something like they're taking the hobbets to wiseiseizen god toyise and ga goga go they're taking the hobbits to
00:46:45
Logan Howard
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:55
BTM
a balrog of murkoth what did you say balrog of murkoth what did you say
00:47:19
BTM
I don't really want to go loved because v is a funny letter. I know we had Vogue earlier, but V is not a common one.
00:47:28
Logan Howard
It's true.
00:47:28
BTM
If we do go at loved, I think the vowel in particular
00:47:37
BTM
i Just for the clarity we need, go with love, Diéguan.
00:47:42
Logan Howard
loved it is. Here we go. Okay, so what we learned here is o is in the correct spot.
00:47:52
BTM
Okay.
00:47:52
Logan Howard
We also learned that L is in the word. but it's not the first letter. That must mean it's the third letter.
00:48:01
BTM
There is no V.
00:48:02
Logan Howard
So it ends with O-L-E-D.
00:48:08
BTM
Owl, bold, cold, colored, doled, gold, fold, gold, hold.
00:48:14
Logan Howard
BOLID? No, it wouldn't be BOLID.
00:48:22
BTM
know, the hobbits live in holds. Jold, lold, cold. Am I forgetting letters? Mold, nold, pold.
00:48:29
Logan Howard
hold
00:48:33
BTM
cold
00:48:36
BTM
Sold.
00:48:39
BTM
So I need to write out the alphabet. I'm skipping letters here.
00:48:43
Logan Howard
hold hold
00:48:45
BTM
Yold.
00:48:46
Logan Howard
old rule cold du fold no that wouldn't even work hold jold cold
00:49:01
Logan Howard
Sold.
00:49:08
Logan Howard
Hold is probably the best option out of those.
00:49:13
BTM
You see, the thing is, they do live in hobbit holes, though it's possible that maybe somewhere it has been used in the book as a verb.
00:49:19
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:49:27
Logan Howard
Could be.
00:49:30
BTM
And plus, the number of other words doesn't...
00:49:33
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:49:34
BTM
Well, they're very...
00:49:34
Logan Howard
we still We still have three guesses. So if we guess hold here, it's not hold. Maybe we try to make a word out of the letters that we haven't used yet to see if we hit something.
00:49:48
BTM
young Yeah, go with hold.
00:49:51
Logan Howard
yes And then our sixth guess will be the one to try and get it. All
00:49:54
BTM
yeah go Yeah, let's go with hold.
00:49:57
Logan Howard
right.
00:50:00
Logan Howard
Oh, it says that it's not a word, so we can't even use it.
00:50:07
BTM
Oh, okay.
00:50:07
Logan Howard
H-O-L-E-D is not a word, so.
00:50:10
BTM
Well listen, it's not it it doesn't start with an a that's not a word.
00:50:16
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:50:16
BTM
B-O-L-E-T? I don't think that's a word.
00:50:21
BTM
With a C, not a word. Doled, I think, is a word.
00:50:29
Logan Howard
Dold?
00:50:29
BTM
don't know. I think... I think so.
00:50:33
Logan Howard
D-O-L-E-D.
00:50:35
BTM
i think it is a word. I think it exists.
00:50:38
Logan Howard
You want me to try it?
00:50:40
BTM
Um...
00:50:44
BTM
Mould, Nould, Pould, Rould, Sold, Old, Would.
00:50:55
BTM
Would it be cheating if I googled this to see it is a word?
00:50:59
Logan Howard
No, i think I think we could enter it, and then it will tell us whether it's a word or not.
00:51:03
BTM
yeah Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
00:51:07
Logan Howard
Dold is the correct word.
00:51:10
BTM
I need to know what it means. I think it's part of the phrasal verb doled out.
00:51:14
Logan Howard
Dold is the correct word.
00:51:17
BTM
think that's the context which people use it.
00:51:21
Logan Howard
All right.
00:51:21
BTM
wonder you the same meaning as to meat out. and
00:51:25
Logan Howard
Dold. Dold.
00:51:26
BTM
Doled meaning.
00:51:30
BTM
Yes, doled out. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, to distribute shares of something. The scarce, thes sorry, the scanty portions of food doled out to them. Yeah, it's a phrasal verb.
00:51:42
BTM
Yeah. Yes.
00:51:44
Logan Howard
Gotcha.
00:51:45
BTM
There you go. Still got it.
00:51:47
Logan Howard
All right. So two more to get through. The next one is Star Wars Wordle. So this is going to be words from Star Wars. um It's the same format again. So we have five letters um and we have six guesses to get the five-letter word in.
00:52:06
Logan Howard
So what word would do you think we should start with first that would be a Star Wars word? Here's the problem with Star Wars. Here's the problem with Star Wars, right? Star Wars doesn't follow English spelling.
00:52:20
Logan Howard
That could cause a problem like Alderaan.
00:52:25
BTM
Sure, which thankfully not going to be because they're too long, but I know you knew to me they're very world-specific words, yeah, war-specific.
00:52:26
Logan Howard
Or Tatooine.
00:52:29
Logan Howard
No. No. Yes.
00:52:32
Logan Howard
Yes. Yes.
00:52:35
BTM
Well, listen, let's go with the most commonly used five-letter word in all the Star Wars, Darth.
00:52:46
Logan Howard
Alright, I like it. I like it.
00:52:51
Logan Howard
Oops.
00:52:55
Logan Howard
Alright, so with Darth, D is the first letter.
00:52:59
BTM
OK. OK,
00:53:00
Logan Howard
um a is not in there. R is is correct, but in the wrong spot. wrong spot T and H are not in the word. So D is the only one for sure that we keep in the same spot.
00:53:16
Logan Howard
And r we need to move around.
00:53:19
BTM
so it's on the third word. OK.
00:53:28
Logan Howard
Should we start with like a DR word? That feels like the most logical place to go.
00:53:36
BTM
does
00:53:38
Logan Howard
Because DR is a valid
00:53:43
Logan Howard
Like, I'm thinking, i know drain is not necessarily a Star Wars word, but... Drawn, D-R-A-W-N?
00:53:56
BTM
Because Anakin was drawn to the dark side?
00:53:59
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:54:00
BTM
No, because a isn't a letter. A is wrong.
00:54:05
Logan Howard
Oh, that's right.
00:54:11
Logan Howard
Dream? Because Anakin has dreams.
00:54:16
BTM
A.
00:54:17
Logan Howard
And it's still A again. Yeah.
00:54:19
BTM
answerla
00:54:24
Logan Howard
Drops.
00:54:28
BTM
Because Luke drops his hand and then drops into the big drain.
00:54:34
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:54:36
BTM
Or whatever that button-shaped thing was.
00:54:37
Logan Howard
Never. Yeah.
00:54:40
BTM
drive back and Actually, when he falls down that slide, that does look like a lot of fun. He's like, whee! Mm-hmm.
00:54:48
Logan Howard
Yeah.
00:54:52
Logan Howard
I feel like drops might be a good one to try here because S is a normal is a letter that's in a lot of words. um So it might be good to rule out or make sure it's in there.
00:55:05
Logan Howard
So I don't think drops is going to be the answer, but it might help us.
00:55:06
BTM
Okay, I guess it's not hero.
00:55:11
BTM
Yeah, okay, okay.
00:55:13
Logan Howard
All right, let's see what we got. Oh, we have a D-R-O, are all in the correct spot.
00:55:20
BTM
wow.
00:55:21
Logan Howard
So the word starts with D-R-O.
00:55:24
BTM
know what it is.
00:55:24
Logan Howard
Droid! It's Droid!
00:55:27
BTM
course it It's about to be.
00:55:27
Logan Howard
Let's go. All
00:55:33
Logan Howard
right, and your focus determines your reality. You are absolutely correct.
00:55:40
BTM
La Breida is nice one. If only the last two rounds have been this easy.
00:55:41
Logan Howard
Three guesses. That was pretty good.
00:55:46
Logan Howard
If only, yeah.
00:55:48
BTM
How
00:55:49
Logan Howard
Goodness. All right. um So this one. We're going to play a math version of this.
00:56:02
BTM
are we?
00:56:02
Logan Howard
We are. And I have a feeling this is the one that will probably break us.
00:56:08
BTM
as an ad feature. Okay. Okay.
00:56:10
Logan Howard
So this this, what we're about to do, is an eight-digit calculation. Okay? We have six guesses.
00:56:19
BTM
man
00:56:21
Logan Howard
It's eight digits. So an example would be five times six minus three equals 27.
00:56:29
Logan Howard
Okay? So it's most likely going to have, it could be three digits plus three digits. It could be multiplication, then subtraction or addition.
00:56:44
Logan Howard
We're going to type in numbers and multiplication, subtraction, division, and try and figure out what is the clue.
00:56:51
BTM
Okay.
00:56:52
Logan Howard
Hopefully they'll give us clues. So, um
00:56:58
Logan Howard
i I will go first this time. So I'm going to do let's say, um
00:57:14
Logan Howard
17 times 2 minus... I don't know. That's not going to work, is it?
00:57:25
BTM
I don't know. What are you doing? And why are you doing this?
00:57:29
Logan Howard
I don't know what I'm doing either. All right, let's do 2 4.
00:57:36
BTM
I don't know what's happening.
00:57:42
Logan Howard
plus 9, so equals 17.
00:57:45
BTM
What?
00:57:51
Logan Howard
Okay, enter. Alright, so what we have learned from my starting this is that...
00:57:59
BTM
Are you just yeah numbers at random?
00:58:03
Logan Howard
What's that?
00:58:04
BTM
Are you just plucking numbers at random?
00:58:06
Logan Howard
No, i I tried to make an equation that actually fit the 8 slots. So I did 2 times 4 plus 9 equals 17.
00:58:15
BTM
So it's you blank and and blank blank and and and blank clickling and you just pluck random number they had
00:58:23
Logan Howard
Did I put random numbers from my head?
00:58:26
BTM
so it's Blank, blank, blank, blank. Blank, blank, blind blank, blank. And you just pick random numbers.
00:58:34
Logan Howard
Yeah, youre pick numbers, pick multiplications and subtractions, addition, yes.
00:58:41
BTM
Okay.
00:58:42
Logan Howard
Yes, yes.
00:58:42
BTM
Right.
00:58:43
Logan Howard
um So what we learned from my just messing around, okay?
00:58:50
BTM
Okay.
00:58:50
Logan Howard
We learned that the first the first thing is a two, okay?
00:58:50
BTM
Okay. Right.
00:58:56
Logan Howard
It's for sure a two. We also learned that the next one is a times.
00:59:06
BTM
Okay.
00:59:07
Logan Howard
So it's for sure two times something.
00:59:11
BTM
Okay.
00:59:12
Logan Howard
And then we learned that the the third to the last one, so this would be the sixth one, is an equal sign.
00:59:17
BTM
Is equal. Rise.
00:59:20
BTM
Rise.
00:59:21
Logan Howard
So that's what we've learned so far. So it's two times something. We know it's for sure four. There's no plus sign. There's no nine. There's no one. There's no seven.
00:59:31
Logan Howard
So we can mess around off of that.
00:59:32
BTM
Okay. No four, no nine, no one, no three.
00:59:36
Logan Howard
And no plus.
00:59:37
BTM
Okay.
00:59:38
Logan Howard
So it must be ah subtraction, possibly.
00:59:45
BTM
Yeah, why not?
00:59:45
Logan Howard
Alright, so let's see if we did something like 2 times 8, that would be 16.
00:59:59
Logan Howard
And then we subtract...
01:00:12
Logan Howard
Subtract what? That's the thing. We need to be more.
01:00:15
BTM
But hold on. Where are you getting...
01:00:24
Logan Howard
What's that?
01:00:28
BTM
confused myself now. just calm down.
01:00:37
BTM
I'm sorry. I was done with this episode before before you hit record. Oh, yeah.
01:00:44
Logan Howard
yeah And we are now an hour in working on math, and everybody's brain is going to be fried real quick here. All right. um
01:00:59
Logan Howard
So i I'm just going to take make an executive action here. um And... Oh, wait. Nope. Nope. That's not...
01:01:14
Logan Howard
It's not going to work.
01:01:16
BTM
Is the answer equals 36?
01:01:25
Logan Howard
i don't I don't know. what What kind of thing did you figure out?
01:01:33
BTM
Well, I had it all worked out. But what confused me was I had drawn seven lines, not eight. And that's what when you started throwing in minuses.
01:01:42
Logan Howard
Oh.
01:01:43
BTM
And I was like... Now, you can't have 2 times 1, 3 minus equals 36. thirty six But yeah, not yeah i'm i'm I'm okay.
01:01:56
BTM
<unk>'ll We'll get there.
01:01:56
Logan Howard
Okay. Okay.
01:01:58
BTM
well be well We'll be okay. We will survive this.
01:02:10
BTM
I think the answer is 36. 36.
01:02:15
Logan Howard
Okay.
01:02:22
Logan Howard
Oh, man.
01:02:26
BTM
but No, listen, theres i but there's i think there could be a three and a six in there somewhere.
01:02:32
Logan Howard
I think you might be right.
01:02:32
BTM
Two times.
01:02:33
Logan Howard
So what I'm trying to do is, if I can see if this is going to get me an answer that's acceptable. So...
01:02:44
Logan Howard
It's not. But is it worth testing to see if the 6 and 3 are correct? That's the question.
01:02:53
BTM
see.
01:02:54
Logan Howard
So...
01:02:54
BTM
Two times nine.
01:02:55
Logan Howard
I don't know.
01:02:57
BTM
So
01:02:58
Logan Howard
So let's see, 2 times 8 is 16. 16 is not divisible by anything else, and it can't be a 1 because we know for sure there's no 1 in this solution.
01:03:11
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:03:12
BTM
yes, that is correct. Yes. And two times.
01:03:22
BTM
Okay, so that it has to be two times and then a small number.
01:03:27
Logan Howard
yes
01:03:29
BTM
it's It's not... and Put this way. It's not 2 times 5 or above.
01:03:38
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:03:38
BTM
Because then you're in the 10 of the teens.
01:03:42
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:03:42
BTM
So let's go 2 times 3.
01:03:46
Logan Howard
Okay. 2 times 3. That would be is one that's not in the problem, so it must be 2 times 5.
01:03:54
BTM
No, that that's too small. It has to be 2 times 4.
01:04:01
Logan Howard
2 times 5 10. two times five is ten um
01:04:07
BTM
Yeah.
01:04:08
Logan Howard
minus...
01:04:12
Logan Howard
this is hard, goodness.
01:04:16
Logan Howard
minus 8 is 2?
01:04:20
Logan Howard
That is technically legible.
01:04:24
BTM
What about two times?
01:04:25
Logan Howard
Let's see.
01:04:26
BTM
What about two times six?
01:04:29
Logan Howard
Okay. Yep, six is feasible. All right. Two times six and then subtract or divide.
01:04:34
BTM
Yeah, okay.
01:04:39
BTM
I forgot dividing existed. and Okay, 2 times be 12, And 2 times 6 12.
01:04:42
Logan Howard
We'll just do subtraction.
01:04:44
BTM
Minus... We need something that gives us...
01:04:46
Logan Howard
Yep.
01:04:48
BTM
No. No.
01:04:51
BTM
is twelve
01:04:58
BTM
minus we need something that gives us no
01:05:08
Logan Howard
Yeah, none of those work.
01:05:11
BTM
yeah
01:05:12
Logan Howard
It's not six for sure. I think think we try five, right? We do two times five and then we subtract eight and that will equal two.
01:05:26
Logan Howard
So zero two for the last two digits. I think I'm going to try it and we're going to see if we...
01:05:31
BTM
is Is that okay?
01:05:33
Logan Howard
Oh!
01:05:36
Logan Howard
Hey.
01:05:38
BTM
Hey.
01:05:39
Logan Howard
We did learn something.
01:05:41
BTM
Oh.
01:05:43
Logan Howard
um we have we We have basically all of the letters.
01:05:44
BTM
Tell me what you put in and then tell me what you found.
01:05:48
Logan Howard
They're just in the wrong place.
01:05:51
BTM
Okay, tell me what you put in.
01:05:51
Logan Howard
I thought the right...
01:05:52
BTM
Okay. Okay.
01:05:54
Logan Howard
Sure, sure, sure. Okay, so... um I got confused on the coloring. I thought when it was red, that meant that it was where it needed to be. It's not. um Apparently, it's the green function again. They changed the colors on me. So um for sure, the answer ends with a two.
01:06:13
Logan Howard
Okay. So the last thing is for sure two.
01:06:14
BTM
Okay.
01:06:16
Logan Howard
um And we have all of the pieces except one we're missing. So um the times 5, the minus, the 8, equals, and the 0 are all in the formula, but they're in the wrong spot.
01:06:40
BTM
So you typed in 2 times 5 minus 8 equals 0, 2.
01:06:44
Logan Howard
Yep. Mm-hmm.
01:06:46
BTM
That's what you said.
01:06:47
Logan Howard
Yes. That is what I did. Yes.
01:06:50
BTM
Okay, and what is correct is 2 times equals...
01:06:53
Logan Howard
It's just the two. just Just the two at the end. Two at the end is correct.
01:07:00
BTM
and the 2 at the start.
01:07:02
Logan Howard
No, not the two at the start. I was wrong.
01:07:07
Logan Howard
I have made this more confusing than it needed to be.
01:07:08
BTM
So...
01:07:10
BTM
You have. So blank times blank, blank, blank equals blank two.
01:07:20
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:07:27
Logan Howard
Alright, so let's rethink this.
01:07:28
BTM
okay.
01:07:30
Logan Howard
What if the answer equals 2 at the end? So what if it's like... um
01:07:43
Logan Howard
Let's do, I don't know, 80...
01:07:47
Logan Howard
eighty
01:07:52
Logan Howard
Minus...
01:08:00
BTM
Did you not say the multiplication sign was in the correct place? That's the second way.
01:08:03
Logan Howard
It is, it is, yeah.
01:08:08
BTM
Okay.
01:08:14
BTM
Then where do you have space for 80 minus anything?
01:08:17
Logan Howard
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
01:08:23
Logan Howard
All
01:08:27
Logan Howard
right, so what if we put five first?
01:08:35
Logan Howard
Five, don't know.
01:08:42
BTM
Okay.
01:08:42
Logan Howard
Five minus three.
01:08:47
BTM
But it's it's five times something.
01:08:48
Logan Howard
Yeah, that won't work.
01:08:52
Logan Howard
No, that So but let me correct what i I stated earlier, okay? The only thing that's for sure in the correct spot.
01:09:00
BTM
Viewers are cracking up, as am I.
01:09:03
Logan Howard
What's that?
01:09:04
BTM
The viewers are cracking up. They're tuning out.
01:09:06
Logan Howard
Yes, yes, yes.
01:09:06
BTM
I don't know what's going on.
01:09:08
Logan Howard
What's going on?
01:09:08
BTM
You've lied to one time too many this round.
01:09:11
Logan Howard
I've done what too many times this time? What is going
01:09:13
BTM
We've lied to our viewers one time too too often. they're They're like, this guy is full of crap.
01:09:20
Logan Howard
on? Okay, okay.
01:09:21
BTM
This guy gets paid to teach kids mathematics.
01:09:24
Logan Howard
Okay.
01:09:24
BTM
Who hired this man?
01:09:26
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:09:26
BTM
That's what they're thinking.
01:09:26
Logan Howard
Yes. this This is the question. I fake it.
01:09:28
BTM
We're going to get hate now.
01:09:29
Logan Howard
fake it every day. Yes. All right. So the only thing that we know for sure of exactly where it's supposed to be is the number two right at the end. So the eighth number is the only one we know for sure.
01:09:45
BTM
So when I said the only thing we know for sure is blank times blank blank blank equals blank two, and you said yes, you lied.
01:09:45
Logan Howard
That is...
01:09:55
Logan Howard
I did lie because my brain checked out in that moment.
01:10:04
BTM
Is the equals in the right place?
01:10:07
Logan Howard
no
01:10:10
BTM
So the only thing we know for sure is blank blank by Blank blank. Blank blank. Blank two.
01:10:21
Logan Howard
We know that, yes. We also know that the numbers and so what we what we need is we know we need the number 5, the number 8, the number 0, and we need the multiplication, subtraction, and equal sign in the equation.
01:10:39
Logan Howard
That's what we know.
01:10:41
BTM
Do we know that we need another two?
01:10:44
Logan Howard
We do not need another 2.
01:10:49
BTM
Oh my goodness.
01:10:51
Logan Howard
Yeah, this is a brain frying one.
01:10:52
BTM
Alright.
01:10:53
Logan Howard
We should have done this one first.
01:10:58
BTM
gonna be honest with you, when you went through all the titles, the geography one sounded preferable to this.
01:11:05
Logan Howard
i don't I don't know. I don't know. Without the visual aid part of it, I'm the only one who can see it. I don't know if it would be better. I don't know.
01:11:12
BTM
Dude, you're the only one who can see this math equation and you've screwed it up at least five times.
01:11:22
Logan Howard
That's fair. That's fair. Yes, that is a fair statement.
01:11:25
BTM
husband mad my I want to go to bed.
01:11:28
Logan Howard
That's all right. i I am going to just start plugging things in because I am i am at that point of the evening as well.
01:11:36
BTM
blank No, no.
01:11:39
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:11:39
BTM
We've eaten the last three.
01:11:40
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:11:41
BTM
We can do this.
01:11:48
BTM
Okay. We know the last numbers are two.
01:12:04
Logan Howard
And it doesn't start with a multiplication. That that makes it hard. ah
01:12:10
BTM
What is the BEMDAS rule? B is for brackets. E is for something. M is multiplication.
01:12:18
Logan Howard
Yes. yeah So it's and MDOS.
01:12:20
BTM
D is addition. A is addition. addition.
01:12:23
Logan Howard
It's multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
01:12:27
BTM
What's the E for? BEMDAS.
01:12:30
Logan Howard
E?
01:12:33
BTM
B is for brackets. E is for...
01:12:39
BTM
Or is he just there to make it a word?
01:12:41
Logan Howard
It must be there to make it a word. I don't i thought that there was parentheses as well. Brackets, parentheses.
01:12:48
BTM
Yeah, that's the B, yeah.
01:12:50
Logan Howard
Okay. And then mdos.
01:12:52
BTM
Okay.
01:12:58
Logan Howard
i am I'm very close to just start throwing numbers at this and saying, yeah, it's good enough, and then they yell at me because it's not a valid equation. That's what's about to happen.
01:13:14
BTM
Let's try 80. 80. Yeah, why not?
01:13:18
Logan Howard
Try what?
01:13:20
BTM
eighty eight to zero
01:13:24
Logan Howard
okay, at the beginning.
01:13:28
BTM
yeah why not
01:13:30
Logan Howard
Okay, then what?
01:13:56
Logan Howard
Okay, so what if
01:14:25
BTM
Maybe it doesn't start with 80.
01:14:30
Logan Howard
Okay, maybe it doesn't.
01:14:32
BTM
Maybe it does.
01:14:33
Logan Howard
Maybe it does. Maybe it starts with 30.
01:14:45
BTM
i did suggest a three quite some time ago.
01:14:48
Logan Howard
Whoa. did yes thirty minus
01:14:58
BTM
If your students should find this on the internet and watch this, would they not be absolutely mortified that are their teacher?
01:15:02
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:15:07
Logan Howard
No, they will they would not have figured this out. So I'm i'm good.
01:15:10
BTM
Okay. Okay.
01:15:12
Logan Howard
This is above my pay grade.
01:15:15
BTM
How about 30 minus 8? hi have i th thirtyty minus eight
01:15:25
Logan Howard
OK, 30 minus 8. Yep. and it say yep
01:15:35
BTM
Blank, blank, blank, too.
01:15:39
Logan Howard
30 minus 8 equals 28, which would be something times My brain went home for the day.
01:15:48
BTM
I need you to say that again slowly. 30 minus 8 is 22.
01:15:55
BTM
is twenty two
01:15:57
Logan Howard
30 minus 8 is 22. I was trying to do the other end of the equation, which was I need a multiple to get it, and that's not going to work.
01:16:08
BTM
No, it's not.
01:16:10
Logan Howard
So that doesn't fit.
01:16:12
BTM
No, it does not.
01:16:13
Logan Howard
So it can't be 30 minus 8.
01:16:16
BTM
Okay, not.
01:16:20
Logan Howard
So
01:16:22
BTM
Let's put the equals before the two.
01:16:26
Logan Howard
so it equals 2? Okay, we can do that.
01:16:30
BTM
Yeah.
01:16:30
Logan Howard
i'm I'm cool with that. All right.
01:16:32
BTM
Okay.
01:16:33
Logan Howard
So...
01:16:38
Logan Howard
it's just hard I think the hard part here is getting something to equal 2 because of the multiple element that's in here. We we need to do a multiplication equation. So maybe it's something like 82. Or maybe it's even bigger than that. maybe it No, it can't be.
01:16:58
Logan Howard
That can't be it because the equal sign can't go in that third to last spot. Man.
01:17:08
BTM
Is the color coordination for this one different than all the other ones?
01:17:13
Logan Howard
What do mean?
01:17:15
BTM
The red and the green.
01:17:20
BTM
Because you were so sure of yourself until you weren't.
01:17:22
Logan Howard
Well, there was a, it was yellow in the other one. And so then I thought because I saw the logo of this place, it was like red was the logo. And i was like, oh, so that means red's the one that is good this time.
01:17:34
Logan Howard
And I was wrong.
01:17:41
BTM
It takes a brave man to admit when he was wrong.
01:17:46
Logan Howard
Indeed.
01:17:53
BTM
Well, I think it will start with a multiplication. But maybe not single-digit multiplication. Probably double-digit multiplication.
01:18:06
Logan Howard
Maybe.
01:18:10
BTM
I'm convinced.
01:18:13
Logan Howard
i am I'm thinking that the end part, so one of the things that they like to do in math is they set two numbers. So like, oh, ah this number is 21 minus 5 equals 16 on this side, and 2 times 8 is 16 on the other side, and they equal each other.
01:18:35
Logan Howard
I'm thinking that's what we're what they're running into here. But I don't think that it's 8 times 2. think it might be 5 times 2 10. So if we put 10 on that side, and then I need for sure something...
01:18:53
Logan Howard
um
01:18:57
Logan Howard
Something minus... No. What if I try 6 times 2 is 12?
01:19:11
Logan Howard
No, can't be 20. All
01:19:30
Logan Howard
right, I'm just going to do it because I'm going insane. we're going to try that.
01:19:38
BTM
Yeah, explain
01:19:39
Logan Howard
Okay, all right, good. So now we learned that the second thing is for sure a zero, the third is a subtraction, and that's it.
01:19:53
Logan Howard
So you might be right, it could be 80 minus something.
01:19:59
BTM
that to me again. Just give me a second. Hold on.
01:20:13
BTM
Okay, it says say that one more time.
01:20:17
Logan Howard
Okay, so zero so what what I entered was I entered 20 minus 8 equals 6 times 2.
01:20:18
BTM
It's something...
01:20:27
Logan Howard
Okay, because I was just throwing something at the wall.
01:20:29
BTM
Six times Yes, I was beginning to wonder if it was an equate, if it was...
01:20:35
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:20:35
BTM
Yeah, I was beginning to think that too. Yeah, okay.
01:20:38
Logan Howard
It is not that though.
01:20:38
BTM
Right, go on.
01:20:39
Logan Howard
So that we learned that that's off the table.
01:20:40
BTM
Okay.
01:20:42
Logan Howard
And we learned that there is for sure the second
01:20:43
BTM
Okay.
01:20:47
Logan Howard
digit is a zero, and the third is a subtraction sign.
01:20:49
BTM
so Okay.
01:20:51
Logan Howard
So we did at least gain a couple things that we can that are for sure now.
01:20:58
BTM
Yeah, okay.
01:21:01
Logan Howard
What about 50 minus something?
01:21:29
Logan Howard
I also think this means that at the at the end, answer is for sure it equals 2. I'm almost 100% sure now.
01:21:43
BTM
Okay.
01:21:48
BTM
What did you type in something else there?
01:21:52
Logan Howard
i'm I'm just typing in what I know for sure, that's all.
01:22:04
BTM
Okay, calm yourself down now.
01:22:07
Logan Howard
Okay. All right. I'm calming down.
01:22:08
BTM
Last week, 20 minus 8 equals 6 times 2. I know you're playing around the figures and just one balance the other It was a good idea.
01:22:15
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:22:18
BTM
But we know that we know that we know we have the number 5.
01:22:21
Logan Howard
Mm-hmm.
01:22:24
BTM
So don't write 20, write 50.
01:22:24
Logan Howard
Yes.
01:22:25
BTM
8.
01:22:27
Logan Howard
Okay. We got 50. 50 minus... fifty minus
01:22:32
BTM
eight
01:22:35
Logan Howard
We also learned that for sure 6 is in this, so our numbers that we need here is um we have 5, 8, and 6, and 0, and a multiplication to fit.
01:22:48
BTM
Right.
01:22:49
Logan Howard
So 8 times...
01:22:49
BTM
Okay.
01:22:51
Logan Howard
Wait, here it is.
01:22:51
BTM
I'd have read it.
01:22:52
Logan Howard
I got it. I got it.
01:22:54
BTM
50 minus 8 is 42.
01:22:55
Logan Howard
Oh, sure you did. What do you have?
01:22:59
BTM
fifty minus ace
01:23:01
Logan Howard
Mm-hmm.
01:23:03
BTM
is forty two
01:23:06
Logan Howard
Yep.
01:23:11
Logan Howard
That's not what I got.
01:23:14
Logan Howard
I have 50. So the the equation is set up like this, but you always have to do the multiplication before you do the subtraction. So even though the the multiplication is set after, 8 times 6 is
01:23:27
BTM
Yes, yes, p x equal yes, Yes, yes, yes.
01:23:30
Logan Howard
forty eight
01:23:33
Logan Howard
and 50 minus 48 equals 2. So that should solve it for us.
01:23:37
BTM
Because it would go into brackets. So yeah, it's 50 minus 8 times 6 equals 2.
01:23:40
Logan Howard
Bam!
01:23:43
BTM
Because the VEMDAS, your 5 times 8 would be in brackets. Sorry, 8 times 6 would be in brackets.
01:23:51
BTM
And then it's 15 minus 48 equals 2.
01:23:51
Logan Howard
Yep.
01:23:54
Logan Howard
Yep, we got it.
01:23:55
BTM
Never again.
01:23:56
Logan Howard
We're at the end.
01:23:57
BTM
Never again.
01:23:57
Logan Howard
That's it. Never again.
01:24:01
Logan Howard
Well, folks, we said this going to be a short one. It is coming up on an hour 30. yeah. So,
Reflection on Bible Verses and Forgiveness
01:24:10
BTM
as long as the last one.
01:24:22
Logan Howard
and's see. I guess what I'm thinking is We come up with one verse that has been important to you this week, and we'll do our quick shout-outs, and then we'll be done. So um what was your verse of the week, Brendan?
01:24:40
BTM
Oh, I heard a nice one today. Romans 2.4. Romans 2.4. I'm just
01:24:58
BTM
going to get up in a translation that's not 500 years old. five hundred years old
01:25:07
BTM
a Or do you think lightly of the riches of God's kindness and restraint from inflicting punishment and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
01:25:29
Logan Howard
Mm-hmm.
01:25:30
BTM
Romans 2, 4. Or do you think lightly of the riches of his kindness and restraint from inflicting punishment and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance.
01:25:47
BTM
Just how often and how regularly and how thoughtlessly we can often put out of our minds God's forbearance with us.
01:26:03
BTM
God's kindness to us, God's patience to us, God's perseverance to us.
01:26:07
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:26:10
BTM
Especially when someone has hurt us, legitimately, genuinely hurt us or wronged us or upset us.
01:26:15
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:26:18
BTM
And we blow a gasket and we get super frustrated.
01:26:24
BTM
Like I've been today because of the technology.
01:26:29
BTM
I have just caught myself saying it out now.
01:26:36
BTM
Case in point. Again, I'm not ticked off at Logan, just the technology was wrecking my head.
01:26:40
Logan Howard
wow
01:26:45
BTM
and And the mats. ah
01:26:47
Logan Howard
On the maps, yeah.
01:26:49
BTM
But, um yeah, we just, we can be very quick to forget, can't we?
01:26:55
Logan Howard
Indeed.
01:26:56
BTM
um And sometimes God's probably just sitting there like, yo, dog, I've forgiven you.
01:27:07
BTM
And you won't forgive this person. You're squashing in your offense. And your bitterness.
01:27:14
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:27:15
BTM
Really? That way Jesus died? Really? um So yeah, we need to be a lot more alert.
01:27:24
Logan Howard
Yeah.
01:27:24
BTM
that When people upset us. And I'm not saying let people walk all over you. I'm not saying let people wrong you. I'm not saying let people do evil things and get away with it. I'm not. um But there are a lot of things that we let totally consume us.
01:27:40
Logan Howard
Hmm.
01:27:41
BTM
And they do not deserve that place in our lives, that place in our heart. a And you have no excuse whatsoever, no matter what the cause or the offense is, to walk around in in bitterness and offense and unforgiveness when Jesus has already for forgiven you for all of your sins.
01:28:02
BTM
Not just the ones who have committed, but all your sins. and So yeah, we keep our eyes fixed on the cross, fixed forgiveness that we have received, and get a lot better, a lot faster, at extending it to others.
01:28:10
Logan Howard
Indeed.
01:28:18
Logan Howard
Yeah, indeed. um That's good. My verse this week is, the Lord led me to Luke 24, and in a funny verse twenty five stuck out to me in ah in a funny way he's um Jesus has on the road to Emmaus, and he's speaking with these people, and they're like, well, Jesus just died, and this is horrible, and we're walking home.
01:28:33
BTM
Thank you.
01:28:43
Logan Howard
And ah in verse 25, he looks at them and says, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things to enter into glory?
01:28:56
Logan Howard
This had to happen. And then it says he went through all of the prophets from Moses and explained to them why it had to be this way.
01:29:05
BTM
Man.
01:29:05
Logan Howard
And it was just, it it was, it caught me as a little bit funny that he's just like, why don't you guys believe what was literally right there, guys? Like, open your eyes, open your hearts.
01:29:17
Logan Howard
um And I was thinking in my own life how sometimes we we struggle to believe that what God says is true and that we can obey him and trust his words. And sometimes we're like, you know, i know better, Lord.
01:29:30
Logan Howard
i don't i don't need to do that, you know?
01:29:31
BTM
Come on.
01:29:32
Logan Howard
I know what's best for me. This is better. And every single time he's probably has said this to us without even us even knowing. Oh, foolish ones, and slow to believe.
01:29:44
Logan Howard
Did you not know what the prophets have said? Did you not remember what the Bible says? um So it was ah it was a comical moment, but it's ah it's a convicting one, too, that sometimes our hearts are slow to believe what God says is true.
01:29:59
Logan Howard
And even about ourselves, sometimes we're slow to believe the things that we know that God loves us and he cares for us, that he...
01:30:05
BTM
No.
01:30:06
Logan Howard
has a future for us and a hope. And sometimes we don't believe it because it looks pretty bleak in front of us. So if you are in that position, if you are struggling, um, feel free to reach out to us to get ahold of us. Cause we are always willing to listen and be an encouragement to you. Hopefully this has been, know, uh, the math thing just, it took a dark turn there for a while. Um,
01:30:30
Logan Howard
And you might be wondering, this is the last but episode that we ever do.
01:30:32
BTM
I like that dark place again.
01:30:34
Logan Howard
um I don't think that's the case. But you might be right. um It might be the last one we ever do that's like this.
01:30:46
Logan Howard
But... ah
01:30:47
BTM
looked into the heart of darkness today and I did not like what I saw.
01:30:55
Logan Howard
ah Anyway, anyway...
01:30:56
BTM
done things about myself that were not pleasant to see.
01:31:02
Logan Howard
um But I think we can both close out with our shoutouts this week, and it'll probably be our From Dublin to Cleveland Extras. ah Wealth of information, a wealth of catalog of things that you can check out.
01:31:15
Logan Howard
um I know there's also for Brendan, he has ah books he's working on and has completed two of them, so please check those out, purchase them. We'll have links in the description below. As well as our merch. We have...
01:31:29
Logan Howard
merch. You can buy shirts. We have our brand new logo that looks really awesome. um So yeah we'd love if you'd support us in that way. ah And yeah, I think that's all I have. So again, if you need to contact us, reach us at fromdumbentocleveland at gmail.com. Hopefully you made it through this podcast and because we barely did.
01:31:48
Logan Howard
But
01:31:48
BTM
I'm hanging out with your life, I'm telling you
01:31:53
Logan Howard
yep. Yep. I think it's time for bed. So thank you all.
01:31:55
BTM
you. At one point, my arms just got interlocked in my sleep.
01:32:05
Logan Howard
So thank you all for listening. Thank you for putting up with our best laid intentions of having a short
Lessons Not Learned and Math Dislike
01:32:10
Logan Howard
episode. And then things happened. So lessons learned as always.
01:32:17
Logan Howard
Well, maybe learned, but not necessarily applied because we've learned that this is not what we want to do.
01:32:19
BTM
I hope they'll never replay that match game again.
01:32:26
Logan Howard
Yep. Yeah. The math one's going to just burn.
01:32:28
BTM
battle was fine, and that's when that was of demonic.
01:32:29
Logan Howard
the math is going to burn in hell. So just, just so you know.
01:32:34
BTM
he admit that The bottom was pit to Tartarus, honestly.
01:32:36
Logan Howard
Yep. Yep. but Yeah, definitely.
Episode Closure and Future Review Plans
01:32:41
Logan Howard
So thank you all for listening. Anything you want to close us out with Brendan, we'll, we'll send them on their way.
