Speaker: Air Force One can fly, but why? Only God knows for sure. Air Force One can fly, but why?
Speaker: Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Growing Up Christian. I'm Sam. And I'm Casey. And Casey, if it's cool with you, um and feel free to speak your mind. I don't want to pressure you into something you're not comfortable with. I was wondering if you would be cool with taking a quick moment of silence for Ed Sheeran.
Speaker: Absolutely. All right.
Speaker: And we're good. All right. ah It is... That has been one of my favorite... ah This has been one of my favorite stories. ah Probably because it's so near and dear to my heart. I'm not an Ed Sheeran fan.
Speaker: um Per se. I think he had and a good album a long time ago. I think it was the one that was just plus. Some good hits on that. a Good album. um i don't listen...
Speaker: to him much, but back when this tour went on sale, my wife was in an Ed Sheeran phase. I mean, she's never been like a huge fan, but she was more into it at the time, and...
Speaker: We got tickets. So I'm about to go support genocide and in Palestine at Gillette stadium all places. Thank you. Thank you. Zionist Robert Kraft for creating this opportunity. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, there was a lot of cheers in the audience. Like, I'm sure he thought he was facing ah like a lynch mob at that point when he heard those people cheering for Macklemore. He was fearing for his own life. And that's not fair because, look, ah we're all free speech guys here. But you know once someone starts fearing for their life, then we need to cancel free speech. And I believe that.
Speaker: It is kind of like... a you know there There is like an excitement in imagining danger under every rock. It's kind of like the people who think there's a demon. and like Their car takes too long to turn over in the morning, and they're like, cast you out!
Speaker: ah Alternator demon. Yeah, they're praying against the spirit of your car constantly turning over but never starting. And you're like you just walking along.
Speaker: you just walk around every day as if you're John Constantine. And you're just blasting away those, you know, like small electronics demons with a shotgun. i imagine that it's like that. need to watch that. I started it a long time ago and never finished it.
Speaker: I feel like it's kind of fun, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Yeah, but I felt hokey when I started it. But then, you know, some of the best movies are, you know, I'm not I'm not trying to be too serious these days.
Speaker: I like the, it's there's that one black guy that was in everything back in the day. He was in like Gladiator. he was in that. He was like, his name was like Papa Midnight in Constantine.
Speaker: But yeah I love that dude. I don't know. i don't know what his name is, but old Shia LaBeouf too. Oh, ah the LaBoufster. Yeah. But yeah, Robert Kraft, he must walk around every day thinking he's in like Inglorious Bastards. Like,
Speaker: know there's just there's just a mob of anti-semites ready to to to throttle him and hang him up you know yeah scary time return i mean bb called them uh one of the what he say did he say was like one of the greatest friends of israel and he gave him this massive donation or some like that oh that's amazing i know that's really cool doing the lord's work the old testament lord but the lord nonetheless Dude, him and Malcolm Gladwell and Jerry Seinfeld, like all on a ah PJ just crashing into the Atlantic.
Speaker: I don't know you've noticed. Malaysian Flight 93 or whatever. but Michael Rappaport said some really interesting things to say about this. i don't know if you've been following that. Yeah, I'll follow up his Facebook right now.
Speaker: He's up there on the list of like my least favorite people in the universe. I know. you know, it's so disappointing that once I click on this, I'm going to see his stuff for the next three weeks. But aside from that, the other really disappointing thing is the first thing I really remember him in as like a real like I i i know I had seen him in stuff before, but I was a big fan of the show Prison Break.
Speaker: And he was a main character in that for a while. He was like the FBI agent or something. played a toilet. yeah And I liked him in that.
Speaker: um ah I liked him in stuff around that time. And then he came out like, you know, full Zionist hack and... Now it's just now my favorite things to see him in are ah when he's filming social media posts and people whip snowballs at his head. That's that's that's now such a great video. um Oh, he's got some live shows coming up. Oh, he's going to be in Boston on ah November 4th. Maybe I should go and just heckle the fucking shit out of him.
Speaker: Yeah, it's like, oh, it's Michael Rappaport. It's kind of like if Bill Burr wasn't funny or rich. Yeah. He's got some that he's got some stuff to say about the bat shit crazy Miss Rachel. Yeah. Well, you talk about dangerous personalities. I know people are not happy with her.
Speaker: I don't. That's like with the most insane one. I know. That's the one where like when people start going off on it, you're just like, dude, you have lost the plot. So hard like there is there is no.
Speaker: Sometimes you you like I look through the comments on posts about like, you know, Zionist trigger issues or whatever, and you just see the things that people post.
Speaker: And you're like, you you have to know you're not going to be able to sell this anymore, right? Like, you have to know yeah that normal people aren't buying this nonsense anymore. That's him in a cute little tiny hat.
Speaker: That's cute. You like that? That's fun. Yeah, he says that every time is a blessing, except for when people are cursing Israel. No, he says every time is a blessing, every time is a mitzvah.
Speaker: Oh, so cute. Easy Ed Sheeran has reportedly lost over 200,000 Instagram followers. Okay, shut up, Michael. Dude, this guy doesn't stop posting. Holy shit. I thought I'd be able to go to it real quick. He posts this really, really ah terrible picture of Miss Rachel.
Speaker: And it's breaking. Rapper report breaking news. So he's ah he's a news guy now. Ed Sheeran's just announced that crazy Miss Rachel. Dude, he's... Okay.
Speaker: the fastest way to know someone's just a Republican hack is just bad nicknames right out the gate. But crazy. Miss Rachel. Silly this person. It's like, all right, dude, come up with something actually garbage Trump isms. Yeah. It's like, you're just taking, you're just taking a page out of your favorite person's book and doing it worse.
Speaker: It's a real Marjorie Taylor, Trader Brown sort of nickname. That one's, that one's embarrassing. And that's his worst work. And he keeps going for it too. He won't let that one go. I mean that in Democrats. He goes, I made that up. you're like, no, you didn't. My Republican household has been saying that since I was three years old.
Speaker: I coined the term feminazis back in 2002. Look it up. um Then he posts a picture of, so back in 2014, most people have probably seen this, ah but Macklemore did...
Speaker: this thing where he put on some like Jew, like it was supposed to be like, I'm a Jew. ha ha ha. And he had like a giant nose and shit and came out doing his song and dance dressed up like a caricature of a Jewish person. Oh no. And look, 2014. And so now what you're seeing online is everyone being like, he has a long, he's been doing this kind of stuff for a long time. He's got a long history of being an anti-Semite. It's like, he doesn't have a long history of it. He did something that I would probably be comfortable classifying as anti-Semitic back in 2014. And if
Speaker: and ah yeah if it was going to be a long history, you would have to find at least one other example of which there is none. And He's like, yeah, that was a big mistake prior to this national conversation that he's entered himself into.
Speaker: And Michael Rappaport posts that picture of him next to a white dude from like the 40s or some shit doing blackface. And he goes, this is crazy. All he did was say free Palestine. Why the uproar? LOL. Like, all right. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. It's all that was 2014.
Speaker: you know I know Michael's trying to make light of the situation, but I think you really... Because comedian. and You really do have to slow down and ask yourself how many Jewish people died as a result of that costume in the 12 years following.
Speaker: Right. That's what I wonder. I mean, but the hard thing is it's impossible to quantify. So you have to just assume it was a lot. You know, when you can't know for sure. It was a bunch. You just assume the worst and you use that.
Speaker: In your editorial and in maybe even on CNN and in NBC. Realistically, if we lived in a world where Macklemore had more respect for his Jewish brethren and in 2014, like.
Speaker: I don't know, I mean, this is hypothetical, but in that reality, does October 7th even happen? It's a great way you're talking like, you know, enter the spider verse kind of shit now.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. I don't know. A boy can wonder. ah Michael Rappaport wants to let everyone know yesterday that apparently Macklemore Nelson Mandela now.
Speaker: People are quitting Easy Ed Sheeran. Dude, the nicknames are... How is this guy a comedian? People are quitting Easy Ed Sheeran's tour in solidarity. Artists are lining up to praise Macklemore like this motherfucker just got out of...
Speaker: got out of robin island he also he censors all of his swear words with asterisks some comedian oh that's that's cool then he all caps stop it macklemore made his choice he used somebody else's stadium tour to push his politics now venues promote promoters and everybody involved get to make their choices too this is that's not censorship that's not oppression that's called consequences yeah notice how he didn't say fans yeah Fans don't make that decision, but a a small group of billionaires who own everything in the in like one of the most convoluted, twisted industries, like you know live event sales and tickets and stuff like that. like
Speaker: Three billionaires, including a guy who got caught getting jerked off by like a trafficking victim. And don't forget, he's in the Epstein files. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, it's just so ridiculous. I was in a, I had to drop my truck off at a body shop yesterday and I, they gave me a ride to, uh, to the the local Robin tug. Yep.
Speaker: Yeah. Robert. To the Hertz place to get a car. And I jumped in the truck with this lady and there's a young kid in the back and nobody's saying anything. The radio is like playing at low volume. And I'm like, Hey, what you listening to? And she's like, oh it's like the alternative station. That's like their morning show. They do like entertainment news and stuff. I'm like, Oh, okay.
Speaker: She goes, have you ever heard about this Ed Sheeran thing? And I said, yeah, I just heard a little bit about it. I'm just like, where is this going to go? Yeah, yeah. You know, because she's like probably late 50s, this lady.
Speaker: Yeah. And she's like, ah you know, if people spend a lot of money on these tickets and they got to sit through a 30 minute political rant by this guy, like some people just don't want to do that. And I'm like, well, I've heard the whole thing about 30 times at this point. I mean, it was like a 30 second political rant. But I said, hey you know,
Speaker: That's what artists do, though. I mean, they're they're using their platform to talk about things that are important to them. And I said, you know, I think it's I just said the thing about like fans, you know, aren't the ones making that choice that it's like billionaire promoters and stuff. And it's so funny how like people that age, it's like whoever talked to them last is is what their viewpoint is.
Speaker: Yeah. She just like jumped on board with what I was saying at that point. like, I don't, do you even exist? Like, are you even an NPC? You're not real world around us. You know, it's a nice lady. is' nothing wrong with her, but like, it just, it just had the distinct feel of like, Oh, you haven't thought about this. you like, you have an attitude about this and you haven't thought about it. Like one iota. Right. you And that's, that's essentially what our,
Speaker: I we don't even really have a real media, like legit. We have very few legit media apparatuses left. It's our apparati apparatus. i don't know. um It's just like it's just for people like that.
Speaker: It's like and they know that it's just it's entertainment like skinned as news and it's Ellison ad copy. yeah it's It's annoying. But so now I'm so like I said, I have.
Speaker: Oh, the other thing I think is so funny about this before I jump into my personal involvement with this scandal. um Is all these people like Ben Shapiro went on Fox News and did his whole like song and dance about how.
Speaker: ah the the Yeah, I mean, obviously he thinks Macklemore is a total putt. He doesn't care. He's a Zionist himself. So like an irrelevant man on an even more relevant platform than his own.
Speaker: Oh, funny is like listening to people like that who like two years ago were like. Talking about how anyone like. They were talking about the problems with like people of someone from the right one to speak at a college campus.
Speaker: um like that they would have like this big problem with it, right? Like, oh, they didn't let this person come speak. Like, and they call that cancel culture and had huge problem with it. And now that the tart like the, and this is, it's kind of similar in ah in a way, um but not because, ah you know, ah a private college is legitimately a private institution versus,
Speaker: the state, like someone like Robert Kraft, who's like, you know, deeply embedded with the Israel lobby and shit like that too. like Like it, it changes the dynamics a little bit, but it's like, you're like, they did the right thing by, by not allowing this person to speak. And it's like your whole thing for the past few years has been,
Speaker: that that was wrong. Like that yeah you shouldn't be able to tell someone they're not allowed to speak because they have a different viewpoint when it's your viewpoint. And now listening to them just go off on it is like, you guys aren't, you're not even real people. Like you, you don't, you don't have values. You don't have standards. You don't have any of that. Like it just, it's so infuriating to listen to these people. But anyway, I, so I have tickets to this. um I'm sure the show would, would,
Speaker: have been fine i don't really know what i want to do um i mean i can't you can't resell the tickets now anyway like who's a lot of tickets up for what who's opening for him now they don't know they have dude guitar center has ads now that people can enter to win the chance to open for ed sheeran because nobody wants to open for him So he's getting cooked for that. I kind of just hope they cancel the show.
Speaker: like Dude, it's going to a middle-aged guy with his t-shirt tucked in playing a Purple Haze or what Smoke on the Water. Trey Falwell comes out with his band Get Up Soldier.
Speaker: It might Michael Rappaport. Yeah, we just get a comedy open. Dude, that'd be so funny. Just to balance the scales, you know? What was the guy, um what was that comedian that he and Mike Huckabee were on stage at that like Israel event?
Speaker: Were they saying? Tony Hinchcliffe? Sweet Home Jerusalem. Remember that? my God, yeah, I remember that. That's so dumb, dude. these Republicans do not have a sense of humor. Right-wing comedy is just not, it's right-wing comedy and Christian comedy.
Speaker: it's just by definition can't be funny. Yeah. It's very difficult for it to be like, there are some with an overly political slant is tends to not be funny. It's just sort of echoing agreement, but whatever party is in power right now can't be funny. Very, you know?
Speaker: Yes. I agree. kind of the The rule, but yeah, right wing is at a, at a serious disadvantage no matter what. Yeah. And there, I mean, don't get me wrong. There have been probably right-leaning people. but i mean, you had the whole like Bill Ingvall, Jeff Foxworthy, the blue collar comedy guys.
Speaker: you du They were hilarious. Right where I was going to. So funny, dude. When I was the cable guy is how it's seemed hilarious. That's perfect comedy. I mean, I've never seen something funnier than Larry, the cable guy. Yeah.
Speaker: yeah But ah Ron, what's his name? Ron White was just on Rogan just ah just being like, yeah, fuck these guys. They've had they've had power in Texas, Republicans have had powers for 30 years. And look at where we're at. Like, he's not even like a lefty person, but he's like, it's time to let someone else drive. This is bullshit. Like, i can't even get I can't even buy weed anymore.
Speaker: Ron White is pretty funny. Ron White. remember watching one of his specials, like, I don't know, maybe five years ago and thinking it was hilarious. I think Ron White's genuinely funny and he doesn't. Yeah. but It depends on how much you bring politics into it. And also I think it, like you said, who's in power because there are left, there were left leaning comics who dunked all over the democratic establishment when they were in power. And now it's just like,
Speaker: Like it's it can be funny, like you can make fun of your own side. you can But that's the yeah right wing comics can't do. They legitimately are incapable of criticizing their team when they're in power. And it makes it rules of grift. And as especially nowadays, like you can't.
Speaker: if you If you're a right-wing comic in 2004 and you can't criticize George W. Bush without being like, oh, are you with the terrorists? You don't support the troops, you know? Right. Like, you can't be funny. And and now, like, I mean, you absolutely can't align yourself on that side and make fun of Trump.
Speaker: So... Yeah. I mean, what are you going to do, you know? You you have to go completely apolitical or just... I guess play to the base. And that's what a lot of them do, which is trans people in sports. And it's like, Oh my God. Yeah. The most tired, tired.
Speaker: But while we're on this subject, um, our, our friend in full tattoo and clown garb is getting into standup comedy. Um, yeah, he's really, uh, he's taken the Brandon Shab approach, which is a bold play, but he's kind of completely skipping the whole, you know,
Speaker: open mic, you know, find your sea legs and perform in front of crowds first and going straight to paid events, which I i think it's a great idea.
Speaker: um His name is slipping my brain so bad right now.
Speaker: Who? The clown guy. Oh, Richie the Barber? Thank you. Richie the Barber. I guess we didn't say it. but Yeah, we didn't. And it's because his name was slipping my mind. I knew you'd know who i was talking about immediately, but I wanted to clarify for the listeners. Richie the Barber. We've made fun of him plenty.
Speaker: um Yeah, he's he posted on social media today, yesterday, hire me to do stand-up comedy. And it's like, dude, there isn't a single clip of you doing stand-up.
Speaker: There's never been any mention of you doing stand-up. We know where he is. like you just Like I said to you when we were texting about it, you know it's just going to be like trans jokes. Did you hear that this they're putting litter boxes in high schools now? like You're going to just hear that. It's just going to be like like a, a duller version of Jerry Seinfeld. What's up with litter boxes in high school? like, God damn it, dude. I can't like, who's going to pay for that. It's just going to be, you and you, I mean, I say that, but we know who's going to pay for that. And not many people will, but,
Speaker: There will be some. He because he's a grifter. Grifters know how to grift. ah Someone will hire him. I mean, what did i say? He tried to charge us two thousand dollars to be on the podcast to two hundred to two hundred. s Still still way too much. That's that's like ah that's like a regular times the reasonable budget for a discussion with Richie the barber.
Speaker: No way, dude. I don't know. What? yeah I love like every podcast that he does is the same. Like he talks about how deep within the Hollywood machine he was like prior to turning his life to Christ. And yeah they they offered to put him in movies and make him a star and this and that and the other. But, you know, he wouldn't.
Speaker: the He wouldn't eat the lady's thigh at a, at a, you know, underground sex party, like eyes wide shut towards sort of thing. Yeah. mean, that's his story. Every single time is like, I used to go to these parties, man. And people would invite me in and I was like, Whoa, what's my music plan. It's like, du doo doo doo and I look over and there's like girls in there in cages and they're like having sex and nude and stuff. And people are like, like, come here, come here.
Speaker: You know, you want to be a star? you want to be in You want to be in movies? You want to be in commercials? You want to be somebody? Eat this. And I'm like, what is it? And then I realized it's like a human leg.
Speaker: No joke, dude. I'm not lying. Here's one. Here's a really good one. um It's if him talking about how we saw Taylor Swift at one of these parties, which we know is like, it's so coded. Like people people are grasping at straws to make her demonic. And look, she's a billionaire, so she is. i Once you're, I mean, billionaire status immediately makes, I'm sticking by my principles in this one.
Speaker: You are a bad person at heart. You're inherently evil if you're a billionaire. And I'll die on that hill. Unless someone actually threatens my life with it, then I will recant that immediately and go resort to, like, retreat to a safe space. But here we go.
Speaker: Taylor Swift Scary I've seen her at the parties bro You've seen Taylor Swift Taylor Swift dude Richie you've seen Taylor Swift I've seen Taylor Swift at the parties bro What was she doing? She was dancing Dude even the guy who's interviewing him You've seen her at parties What was she doing? Like this whole thing is fucking ad-libbed for fucking sure This is not even a good lie know the devil she's just like dancing all crazy all over everybody is she on drugs definitely cocaine man can you tell us anything that you've seen her do that made you believe that she is part of a satanic cult that she is in fact she did what now she drank blood bro this is disturbing she was there drinking blood bro she goes i love drinking blood she pretty much like in hell if there's all this fire and stuff she's all seductive and this seductive like you know dress do you think she's attractive richard dude she's satanic bro but that's not that's you didn't answer the question tany bro answer the question i don't see her like that bro you don't i don't live for that dude no not at all nice
Speaker: Yeah, it's just so bad. And then you look at, like, the most disappointing thing is just to look at comments under videos like that, and you're like, who are these people that, like, want this to be true so bad? Yeah, just Russian bots. That's all. It's just Russian bots. They're like, I saw Taylor Swift at that party, too. Dude, I have another time for you. saw her when I glanced up from sucking Richie the Barber's cock. Yeah.
Speaker: And that thing is dirty. He's got that clown tattooed as well.
Speaker: Yeah. I found a, uh, I found a, another type of clown today that I thought was pretty fun. um I'm trying to figure out what the best way to show these are. But this lady's name is... ah Sorry, I had this pulled up in a better way. but Her name is Carolyn Dennis, and she has a ah an organization called Declaring Your Destiny.
Speaker: Okay. real Real manifest destiny style shit. That's nice. Yeah, and she's a prophet. and Who is it? She's been prophet for a while. You can just decide that you are now. There's no limit or reason or...
Speaker: like ah you don't like you don't build up to that. It's not like there's a hierarchy of any sorts. No, and it it is fun like when you find somebody who's a prophet and you just go back like two years and look at their videos and it's all the same stuff.
Speaker: This lady is ah is particularly fun because she you go back or southern accent and she... You find a failed OnlyFans. Yeah. She's got a ah very particular cadence and accent that makes this fun.
Speaker: This one says, their cannibalistic parties are over. Pray for the little ones. Dude, the amount of cannibalistic parties that people are having. And they have courses of food.
Speaker: Some are cooked different ways, different styles, and with different say names four seasonings, parties are happening in different places.
Speaker: secret places around the world where there are dinner parties and the meal is my little ones. Oh, I can't take it.
Speaker: No more. oh i can't The feigned exasperation is really, she's not selling it. No, and she speaks from the perspective of God a lot, I noticed. Okay. Which is a good sign, you know? You want that in a profit.
Speaker: Right. Why does she look like a like so a discount Christina P? Like that's... She looks like she could be the the the girl from Fallout, like her mom.
Speaker: Or maybe her grandma or something like that. She kind of has that sort of ah like facial structure. Take no more of their evil and their venom.
Speaker: m No more. I say no more. So understand. She needs to get to the point. is not a light thing.
Speaker: This is not a drill.
Speaker: Yeah, so she's got, ah she has a lot of, she has a lot of that kind of stuff on her page. A lot of warnings and ah beware, the end is imminent.
Speaker: And they're all kind of in that same cadence and weird accent. It's it's like a southern accent, but then it has like a weird... ah I don't know. There's something else in there. I don't know if that's like a Ozark sort of accent or what, but it's, it's a little different than like your Tennessee, uh, Southern bell sort of thing. Speaking of which.
Speaker: The slow and repetitive nature of it is aggravating. And I don't know if in that video, like you said, she speaks for the Lord a lot. Like it sounded like she might've been there. Like the, she said, I,
Speaker: And I feel like that was like a I as in thus saith the Lord kind of I. Yep. And he's gotten remarkably worse at speaking.
Speaker: I think that's what's notable. Everything that I told. Like the Old Testament was at least like flowery and like commanding. And there was like a kind of like put a fear into the people hearing it. This is not doing that.
Speaker: Yeah, ah her her words from the Lord, they mix in a lot of like, ah you know, um white trash vernacular that I don't.
Speaker: it does It's hard to imagine it coming from the Lord. Yeah. it's like Yeah. The Lord told me he is wheeling and a dealing. Yeah.
Speaker: So, but speaking of Southern Bells, she had a prophecy about Dolly Parton, which thought was fun. Yeah, timely, relevant. But everything that I told you is ready to roll out.
Speaker: The death angel is in the earth. The passing of my Dolly Parton will be a marker. Yes.
Speaker: I love my girl Dolly. I love... And she is coming home to me and her coral very soon. Dolly has exemplified the type of entertainment that I want you all to have. This needs to be on time for speed. entertaining, and wholesome.
Speaker: So is... Are we to take it that in kind in in heaven... It's going to be like, a you know, like 70s country. That's what we're going to be singing. Because I'm more excited about that than what they always told us it was going to be. Yeah, i'll I'll exchange the pearly gates and gold paved roads for a honky tonk any day. They used to always be like, yeah, in heaven we're just going to be praising God and in in singing hymns and stuff. And I'm like, I don't really ah enjoy hymns at all.
Speaker: This doesn't sound fun. it dude i just don't like what's the point of this i guess like there's so many people like this on social media now and there's really been a ah real taking off of like this this woman's not charismatic at all um so ah i'm shifting lanes a little bit but like There's been a lot of these type of like online profits butting up anyway, but particularly in that that charismatic lane. like And that's kind of how you know it's a grift.
Speaker: And what's annoying is the people who are in the grift will call it a revival. like Look how many these people are like just like popping up. Dude, they love that term. They use that all the time. Yeah, it's just ah you're just it's just coded language for like more people getting in on the grift. like Back when we were like in college, you would get one of these people every like couple of years, and it was like kind of sensationalized.
Speaker: There was that guy in Florida we talked about a few years ago. I don't remember his name, but I just remember back when I was in that... It's still connected to that charismatic group at Liberty University. There was like there was a couple people there who were like, this guy's the real deal.
Speaker: And he wasn't. He was just like gut-punching people in wheelchairs and telling them they can walk now. Like, it wasn't anything... legit but like and then he ended up getting in some sort of trouble i forget what it was this whole thing went south but it was like a tent revival like classic style tent revival shit he he laid laid hands on some tweenage vagina
Speaker: It was like, ah it's weird how many 14-year-old boys couldn't get hard until he stroked their penises. It was super. I mean, but the Lord works. i You know, the Lord is moving, and that's nice.
Speaker: But it it just, you know, we got one of those characters every couple of years. Someone would pop up. And with the social media, like, just being what it is now,
Speaker: they're every every day i Every single day, I swear to God. i see like Because that's what our Growing Up Christian page is online. It's like just a bunch of grifting accounts that we followed. we All that shit you post on stories. like There's so much. like The entire algorithm now is just catered towards just pushing grifters on us. And I, you just see it every, it's, it's, it never ends. It's a a new one every single day. When I check the stories you post, I'm like, I've never seen that face before. And they're just doing the same fucking shit that everyone else. It's, have you seen the guy that I've posted a couple times that his name's Phoenix and he can see in the spirit realm? Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. i He's like 20 years old with a broccoli cut. Yeah. And ah you could like you can like pay him to do like... ah like life coaching calls with you and stuff. And yeah, he was he was talking to posted one yesterday where he was talking about this this angel that he's seen a bunch of times. And it's like just the worst A.I. art of like ah and a big burly like romance novel body. Yeah. With angel wings and a lion's head.
Speaker: And he just, like, says a bunch of really vague, christian like, nondescript stuff. It's just Christian furries. That's what it looked like, yeah. It looked like the the the tiger head or the Jaguar head guy from Tekken.
Speaker: Yeah, dude. He was a cool character. King. I think his name was King. Dude. That's what it looked like. I want to see him get saved. He's like the angel of bravery and...
Speaker: I don't know, um you know, smart thermostats or something like that. It's always something like that. He he posted one last week that I saw where he was talking about how significant quartz is. And in court, and like anytime he's around courts, it's imbued with like a spirit. It's a spiritual energy. mag wire That shit. Yes. Everywhere in like rocks everywhere.
Speaker: Yeah. and And when he's in areas where there's a lot of courts, he said he can feel like this amplification of spiritual energy. It's like ah it's a really amazing. He's like, it's just a rock.
Speaker: Look, it's just a rock. There's no power in it, but it does seem to amplify the spiritual energy around you like i do It's just this is Christians trying to get on like Wiccan crystal shit.
Speaker: Yes, it's it's so far removed from like the Christianity from that I grew up in where it was like, right we are Bible believing and we only do the Bible and blah, blah, blah, you know, which is what all of them say. But yeah, this is when I was a kid. sir i lived on Cape Cod, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and.
Speaker: lot of courts, and i remember that because my neighbor and I used to we had ah
Speaker: the way my house was built was like, we had a one car, gar where we lived in a Cape with a one car garage on the left side of the house. But we had like this driveway path that went along the left side of the house down to the basement. That part was like an addition. My parents, ah that when they when they bought the house, the addition was already there. But above that garage was a like the the master bedroom, right? So we would,
Speaker: At the garage at the bottom side of the house, it had like the cement landing in front of the, right in front of the garage. And we used to smash rocks on that every day for weeks looking for quartz crystal.
Speaker: We thought it was something cool. And now that you're bringing this up, I'm realizing that we were probably drawn to its power. It is pretty cool. We were drawn to its power in that Christ was trying to to bring us to a place that we never allowed him to lead us to. And I think that's, I'm wondering what I've missed out. Now that you're bringing this up, I'm really wondering what I missed out on as a child.
Speaker: what What blessings of the Lord, um what kind of what kind of glory he could have shown upon me if I recognized why I was drawn to it.
Speaker: Uh, and I haven't thought about courts in a long time, but I'm reevaluating a lot of time looking for rocks, you know, you do say it's never too late. You can start filling your house with rocks of, uh, you know,
Speaker: speculative interest. Yeah, you mostly yeah I know rocks in general are cool for you, but you mostly look for rocks that have like fossilized imprints of various animal cocks. Like that's yeah I know that that's your thing.
Speaker: And you do have a shelf behind you right now with like at least 45 different animal penises. just Yeah. fo Kind of like if RFK was the ah was yeah the guy in the white suit in Jurassic Park. Yes. Yeah. but The ah RFK ah meets Colonel Sanders meets Jurassic Park.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you should jump in on it. You could be the blood-sucking lawyer that gets bit in half.
Speaker: I'd rather be, oh, the lawyer. Oh, yeah, that sniveling lawyer. I forgot about him. I need to watch Jurassic Park. with ah um we're um Now that like and my daughter's turning 11, and she's really interested in watching various movies now. I mentioned her wanting to watch the Marvel movies. We're on the third Spider-Man movie now, the Tobey Maguire ones.
Speaker: Yeah. Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man 2. great film. but That's a good ass movie. And I'll die on that hill. Isn't Sandman the guy who plays Shane Gillis' dad on tires? Yes. That's Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 overextended because they brought in ah Harry as the Green Goblin, Venom, Sandman, and maybe one other. It got a little convoluted. They they screwed the pooch a little bit. They they overshot. But
Speaker: So far, still fun. And I had to look him up. I was like, why do I know this guy's voice? And then when I looked him up, Googled his name, the first picture that came up was Shane Gillis' dad on tires. and i was like, oh, my God, that's so cool. So so good. see That's cool for the guys in tires to be like, yeah, this is the guy from fucking Spider-Man 3.
Speaker: Let's get one more prophetic word here. Okay. This one says your investments will pay off. My heart's yearning. So, oh, and I could really use some investments. Receive your healing as you experience my glory and have mustard seed faith.
Speaker: It will be yours. My son paid the price for your healing. Believe for it and receive it and don't let the enemy steal it from you again. Don't pay your taxes. Why does it sound like speech to text chat? I have great plans for you. It's got that sort of case. Text to speech.
Speaker: I have great plans for each of you. Prosperity and overflow is a part of that plan. i have offered you ways to prosper.
Speaker: Many of you have pursued them. oh Your investments will pay off. i wonder what sort of myth she's offered to her followers. investmentments My hand is on you as well.
Speaker: i will not forget any of my precious children. My methods are not. It's funny how often this really like it always comes back to making money.
Speaker: Yeah. She's selling courts. Christmas in all of this. It's like the doomsday stuff is fun, but in the end you need to tell people that they're going to be rich. Yes. that's the most important thing. Well, and it makes sense in this dire economy. That's right why this shit's taking off. People are hopeless.
Speaker: People are struggling. ah people who heat their homes excuse me People who heat their homes with oil are but to pay an average of two thousand dollars a month more coming into the winter. Like people want to fine.
Speaker: Yeah, they'll be fine. If they, if they, if they hire her to personally bless their oil tank, but see if Republicans win, Trump's going to give us all $5,000.
Speaker: So that'll cover two and a half months. Yeah. And did you see JD Vance recently? He goes, uh, he, he's his, his pitch was basically like begging people to give them a,
Speaker: Another chance. Give me a shot, please. Give me give us a chance. Give us another chance. Give us two more years. Just go vote Republican in the midterms. Give us two more years. It's like you've had two years. He's like you know, we fixed a lot of the problems that were made for us by the Democrats. but ah But we you know, there's still a lot of work to do. So give us two more years. And we promise we promise nuclear annihilation.
Speaker: It is so funny too. Like the way that they have shifted, like what they talk about, like the number one thing they talked about going into this term was immigration.
Speaker: And like they've caused calamity for sure. Like, calamity and heartache with you know the way that they've enforced it with ICE and stuff. But like if you're a person, if you're a conservative and you really believe that that's like a dire issue that you really wanted them to fix, they have brought they have put in place no new legislation whatsoever.
Speaker: There's absolutely not a single piece of legislation that they've passed in regards to immigration. Everything's been executive orders, which will be gone the minute anybody else takes office. well Who needs legislation when you're leading with fear? It's the fear that's keeping people from coming back.
Speaker: It's all optics because we know like the biggest advocates for for like a ah ah blurry. ah ill-defined immigration process are like the the rich, you know, because that's how they staff their plants and their meat processing facilities. And they, you know, they H-1B people in from all over the world to work in their tech firms like Yeah, slave labor, you know, with or else they get sent home like those people do not want a cleaned up immigration system that makes sense. You know, like they so the best that they can offer is just calamity for a few months. It's all going to get reversed as soon as anybody else takes part of power.
Speaker: And like not only that, but like if you're a person who really cared about that. you had like a pretty large amount of public support two years ago for your ideas, right? That this was something that we needed to address.
Speaker: That's shot. Everybody's over it now. It's all out the window. it Like they've basically ensured that like your ideas about immigration are never going to happen. that And they don't matter. It's a relevant. When you, when, when,
Speaker: When people were conned into believing that immigration was the reason for their suffering, where do you go from here? Like, things have gotten objectively worse for people.
Speaker: And they're like, oh, I guess it wasn't the... like ah And look, we know a lot of immigrants worked at meatpacking facilities, and they did solve that problem by just em importing Argentinian beef that was getting recalled. We don't need meatpackers anymore. Fixed.
Speaker: We don't need meat packers of any kind. Look, thank goodness for the right because
Speaker: packing meat, we don't need it. We don't need any extra benefit of salmonella now too, which is cool. Yeah. Salmonella from the meat packing.
Speaker: It's all just like so ridiculous. Like there's just no way to defend anything that the guy has done. And it's it's like the best case scenario. If you wanted like leftist candidates to win, actually, i don't know.
Speaker: I don't know if that's true because it's so bad that now the Democrats can kind of just like hold the status quo and count on pulling out enough of a vote to, to overturn. Sort of.
Speaker: I'll, I'll push back a tiny bit. Cause I hear what you're saying. And I do largely agree that that was their plan the whole time was to just coast until the midterms. That's why no one said fucking boo about the Iraq, ah the Iran war.
Speaker: Like, Hakeem Jeffries as being a total fuck face piece of shit. He gets a lot of money to not say anything about it. Yeah, he takes APAC money, so of course he's not going to say shit. He's a fucking loser.
Speaker: But... like that So their plan this whole time was to just coast. But that's backfiring for establishment Democrats because now their' whole now they're just punching left constantly. Their whole campaign now is to try to keep establish establishment Democrats in power. And it's not working.
Speaker: Everyone's just like, you because because every leftist candidate is just running on the same like three ideas, which is... Like, dude, I mean, the amount of people on the right that I talk to, which is enough, which is ah plenty of family. Like, I know people on the right and they all have the same concern is that how much their health care premiums have gone up every year for the past couple years. It's like 17% in some cases. And like,
Speaker: in some cases and like it's it It's so bad on all angles that they can't, establishment Dems can't even just chill anymore.
Speaker: So like when when you have leftist candidates, but like and people, people maybe maybe right-leaning independents and they're all just like, when they're listening to leftist candidates, they're like, yeah, there's a few things I disagree with them on, but I don't think those will happen. Like they keep trying to get the, who's the woman running in Florida, Nixon, something Nixon. Is it, uh, but she's like, one of her things is like, um,
Speaker: She wants to, ah she I think she said she wants to abolish prison. So Fox News tries to run with that. Anytime she's interviewed, people want to run with that. But like, we're not abolishing prisons. We know that. And I don't know if that's her actual stance or if that's a characterization of her stance of like abolishing for-profit prisons, which is very reasonable. And most people would probably get behind because that feels like a weird thing to profit on, especially when you're sending people You know, when the people who are imprisoned, there I forget what news outlet was that broke the story on people who are imprisoned were getting paid $2 an hour to make calls to try to.
Speaker: yeah. To try and get people to vote for like your right wing candidates. And ah so the prisoners are making $2 an hour while the prisons were making $13 an hour.
Speaker: on their labor. Like this is, no, no one's okay with any of this shit. So when, when you have people who are right leaning and moderate and people are saying, and these candidates are going, yeah, your healthcare has become unaffordable. Like you can't,
Speaker: no one can pay for this shit anymore. They're like, yeah, that's true. No one should, no one should have to file for bankruptcy because of medical debt. They're like, yeah, that'd be great. Uh, like we, we need to stop all these, all this globalization. Like i like more shit. Like, and they're like, yeah, that sounds good. Like, how about you worry about us? Like every, it, they're, they're, the the points that that they're rallying around are actually salient now for,
Speaker: they're now salient for people across the spectrum yeah yeah they're able to walk in and sell like an actual vision for what things could be like they don't have to dance circles around the idea of like you know uh denouncing the war it's like i can't actually do that so i have to be like well you know we need a you know, we need a better plan and we need to work with our allies in the region. And, you know, it is important that Iran not get a nuclear weapon. So, you know, that needs to be a part of the consideration. You're like, shut up.
Speaker: Yeah. All I want you to say is this is stupid and we're getting this. We're getting these guys out of there the second I hit office. That's yeah what I want to hear from you. i don't want to hear anything else. OK. And now 80 percent of the country wants Iran to get a nuke. So that way they can blow Israel off the map. They're like, yeah, let them. Yeah.
Speaker: Like, it's not even a good talking point. Yes. get Let them have nukes. Give them nukes. I hope someone, I hope North Korea gives them a nuke. I hope they give them a nuke and they settle this tomorrow. yeah it's like People are fucking done, dude. They open the strait. They put the Iranian like surcharges on shipping so that they can you know they become like a super wealthy country. And then they can furnish Hezbollah with like ah the techno drone from the ah Ninja Turtles. They can just burrow holes all under Jerusalem.
Speaker: Iran just restated that they're like, yeah, the strait is indefinitely closed until Trump and Netanyahu are removed from power. End of story. And you go, why am my team I team? It's crazy to be 38 and finally be like, yeah, Iran's kind of based right now.
Speaker: Dude, it it really like... like I feel like we're all going through this wake-up process of just like rethinking. like It's like when people talk about ah you know like internalized homophobia or...
Speaker: internalized like misogyny and things like that. It's like we have like these internalized like, ah you know, like war pig views that we just grew up with. And even when you start to shake the big ones, like you still have these reservations in your mind about, you know, like, well, you know,
Speaker: Iran is the, you know, the number one funder of terrorism. And it's like, OK, but are they terrorism against two? Are they are they helping to fund Hezbollah and, you know, the only few people who are fighting on behalf of, you know, the Gazans and the Lebanese and stuff? Then fine.
Speaker: I'm good with that. I'm good with that level of terrorism. That's fine. you know, like it it just makes you rethink so much of the, I, oh dude, China. I was just talking to my buddy about this yesterday. Cause, uh, you know, he's a pretty right leaning guy.
Speaker: and it's interesting to be in completely different, like media silos than someone and talk about some of these, you know, it has to like, something that you can trust to be reasonable.
Speaker: And like, you know, he says things like, like he said, dude he goes, it makes you wonder what's going on because like, think about it. There's, is there any possible possible way that we couldn't secure the straight of hormones if we wanted to?
Speaker: And I said, Yeah. yeah Yeah. They've said it themselves. They said, J.D. Vance said on Rogan, like you and three buddies with a couple of RPGs could shut down the straight.
Speaker: Like, it's not about this big technologically advanced system of like, ah you know, anti-ship missiles and things like that. It's just you have to create enough of a sense of risk when transiting the straight that these big shipping companies won't insure the vessels.
Speaker: If you do that, shipping's done because nobody's going to sail those things through there under threat of sinking with no insurance on the vessel. It's done. It's over. So it takes a couple of guys with some very low tech drones and and shoulder fire missiles and stuff. And if you can do that,
Speaker: dad You can probably cause some chaos and shut the thing down. So like it's absurd, this idea that like, well, we have the most powerful military in the world. Like if we wanted that straight up, we could put it open. They've literally talked about how like they're out of targets to bomb along the coast of the of the straight up Hormuz.
Speaker: Like they've hit about every missile silo and and launch point and stuff like that that they can in the area. But like you can't shut it down. It's well, how are you policing an entire like if we had to police the entire Atlantic coast for like a drone launch pad?
Speaker: You can't do it. You know, the problem that we're facing now is that because that's true. Trump is floating total annihilation, which is so Hitler.
Speaker: That's the most Hitler shit ever. this But see, this is I think this is where like, This is where we actually see how much public sentiment actually matters.
Speaker: And it's why people have to be like so very firm in their commitment to like, we are not going to be sold another war. We're not going to, I don't care whether it's or it's Ukraine. I don't care whether it's Iran. It is not going to happen, you know? Yeah. Because i think like,
Speaker: the rats are are jumping ship at this point. I mean, and it's good and bad, right? Like it's good in that his, you know, one-time allies are speaking out against him and stuff. It's bad in that like these high-level military commanders are resigning so that they don't have their name on the disaster that that comes out of this, right? Like a lot of his top-level generals and stuff have resigned. That's not good because we know who he's going to put in place, a bunch of yes-men.
Speaker: But like if the entire U.S. is against that kind of a strike and we know that like it's it's global isolation if we're the ones to like launch nuclear weapons or something, it's very hard to get everybody in that administration, no matter how crazy they are, to go along with the idea of just launching a nuke.
Speaker: ah You know, so this guy who's on who's three months from death can like satisfy his ego. not saying it can't happen, but like it gets less and less likely the more public sentiment turns against the war. Does someone else other than Trump have to push the button at the same time?
Speaker: That's like, I don't know. I do i worry about his be level of sanity. Yeah. I worry about his level of sanity where I think he could actually go for total annihilation and and begin that begin the attack But what's wild to me is that when you have Iran being like, yeah, the straits closed until Trump's gone.
Speaker: Like, I'm wondering if, especially after the midterms, Republicans who want to stay in power will change their course because they're like think so oh now because right now the problem is if if anyone floats impeachment the republicans all have if the republicans as a block go no then nothing will happen but when the democrats have enough and they think there's a chance that other republicans will switch then more might because they're like
Speaker: Yeah, let's get this guy out. Let's open the straight. And then in two more years, I'll campaign on how I flipped on Trump and got the straight open. You know, I think there's a I think there's a good case to be made that the midterms can change the whole fucking course of the United States, which is why if it doesn't work out the way I want it to.
Speaker: I'm I really do need to start getting together the proper paperwork to become a Canadian. I have no choice. I'm over this shit. i want to move to Costa Rica.
Speaker: I'll go Canada. I do in Canada's deal right now. well We can move. Let's move off of politics in a second. But like, yes, in in Canada's right now creating this associate deal with the EU, which would be one of the most.
Speaker: like beneficial deals in economic history for a country. Like it is, It would allow just, you you don't even need a visa to travel to the EU if Canada gets this through. you can If you're Canadian, you can go to the EU. like if you're you know You can hop on a train and go to another EU state. like yeah It's just boom, boom, boom, boom. You can go back and forth, opening up new trade deals. like dude that's the The deal that the Canadian government's working on with the EU right now could...
Speaker: And what will happen if that deal goes through is we'll effectively be like kicked out of being a major trade partner with the with the Canadian government. So like it'll put us into like um a more dire economic position and solidify theirs.
Speaker: And people are willing to work with them because they understand how fucking... fucked the United States is right now that nobody cares. Everyone assumes that we're going under completely. And the EU is probably like, well, yeah, the USD isn't going to be the world reserve currency anymore. They're watching this descent under.
Speaker: they And if they can establish this deal, then they're hoping that they... It's a toilet. be It's crazy, dude. I mean, the the world reserve currency is up in the air right now.
Speaker: everyone's everyone has a shot at like being the new world reserve currency it's like it's crazy we live in the fucking most chaos it's crazy to think that like like people during world war ii lived in one of the worst times ever right they're all like this is crazy that we're living through this you go into a depression it's nuts um in modern history second to that chaos and confusion like we're gunning for number one, dude.
Speaker: We'll see lot more people have to die. If we're going we're going to hit those kinds of numbers. Yeah. Well, you know, once we read, once we reenact the draft in a sincere and serious way, like a lot more people will. So that's the best way to get everyone to turn. i don't care if you're right left. I don't care what you are. You could be the hardest right motherfucker on the planet.
Speaker: If your kid gets drafted to a dumb ass war like this, you're cooked. They're done. No one's voted. Okay. Can we, can we, okay. I, this, I don't know if this, i don't know. I've been thinking a lot about that lately.
Speaker: Cause I know a lot of people, you know, I'm in the middle of the country. There's several military bases here and stuff. And I'm, I'm always shocked at like how many times you hear parents and stuff like that, whose kids are in the military.
Speaker: Which there again, it's kind of that internalized thing of like, that's always an honorable calling, you know, to be in the military. And it's not ah me just set there Let me just make my position clear. It's not. It's not.
Speaker: They always say this thing, though, where they're like, you know, when you'll start talking about like world conflict and stuff like that, you're like, yeah, I mean, it's a little scary. You know, so and so could get, you know, if they're getting deployed over there. I mean, that's does that make you nervous?
Speaker: They always say something along the lines of, yeah, you know, um but I'll tell you, like them and their friends. I mean, they, you know, that's that's kind of what they signed up for. I mean, they want to go.
Speaker: They'll always say that sort of thing. And I always think to myself, like. Because they're young and they're not smart and like this is you as a parent, like that's the thing that boggles my mind is like you as an a parent as a parent. And I'm more cynical probably than most, but like.
Speaker: If that's your kid, you've lived long enough to see how futile and ridiculous all of this is. What a waste of life and and energy and resources like the war on terror was basically every military operation of your adult life has been just a total. It's just been flushing lives and money down the drain and has yielded chaos everywhere.
Speaker: Nothing good has come out of it. Right. Like you should have the life experience and the, and the perspective to tell your kid, Hey, I know you feel that way, but like, let me tell you something. This is not ah it's not what you think it is. Okay. Like well yeah the fact that you aren't telling your kid that is crazy to me. It's crazy to me that you would encourage your kid to join the military at this point. And like, I don't know if they're encouraging though.
Speaker: it's like Right now we're dealing with um ah what was I going to say? The people who are enlisting. it's I even think the people are like, yeah, that's what I signed up for. I want to go.
Speaker: Cope. They don't. Nobody wants to do that. think they do. Give romantic ideas about it. there's Because the alternative is what? Dishonorable just discharge?
Speaker: That's like the most shameful thing. We've we've still ingrained it. Right now, at Right now, if if you're an employer and somebody in the past year is applying for a job and has a dishonorable discharge...
Speaker: On their record, you should hire them. It means they have a fucking conscience. Whether they're a drug addict or a thief. it's Well, yeah, maybe that. But so with a little more discretion. But I'm just saying, like, we have it ingrained in our brains in the U.S. society that, like, a dishonorable discharge is because you did something fucked or it's bad. Like, dude, the...
Speaker: Lawyers can't even it like whatever agency it is that deals with feeling the questions of, is this legal? Is this right? Should I be doing this? They're overwhelmed. They can't even handle it anymore. People don't want to participate in this. If I look, I'll regret saying this a little bit after I say it, but this floats around my brain a lot. So like I i do seriously consider whether or not at like when we went like going back to your, your point or joke about like,
Speaker: Iran is the greatest purveyor of terrorism across the globe. It's not. It's the United States. It's the United States. And if you're part of the United States military, you are part of a terrorist regime that's fucking destroying the world economy.
Speaker: I get like... I don't care. I don't... like I don't... i It's... yeah Holds no value. Look, if you've been in it for 30 years and you're like, I'm trying to fucking retire. 18 years, you're trying to retire. I understand the conundrum, but if you're signing up now,
Speaker: if you if ah If anything about what's going on is appealing, I'll also add the counterbalance of there's a lot of people in really difficult situations that don't have a lot of options and this is their way out of something fucked.
Speaker: Okay, I understand it. And it's not fair that what you're doing is offering them terrorism over a life of fucking crime. I don't blame kids who are 18 years old for not understanding like the nuances of some of this stuff. like i it It's particularly egregious right now.
Speaker: That's fair. Like, it's hard to it's hard to hide from what it is right now. But like, if you grew up in the time period that we did during the war on terror and stuff like the propaganda got all us, you know, yeah yup so like, yep I get it to an extent. And it's also there's a sense of like.
Speaker: I think part of the appeal of something like military service in a way is it's. it's sort of handing over the reins on your, you know, like uncertain, the uncertainty of your future. It's like, I, so I'm joining this institution and they have a plan for me and it's, it's automatically like an honorable and revered trade, you know, or, or practice that I'm going into. Like I get some of the appeal of it, but see that to me is like where I, the, the thing that I just can't fathom is like,
Speaker: parents that are that are my age or a little bit older or whatever, like, how do you not talk your kid out of doing this? Like, how do you not as a parent say, Hey,
Speaker: Here's what I've watched over the years. I know what you I know what this looks like from the outside at your age, you know, because I felt similar about it. But like, this is what it's been my entire adult life. And it will continue to be that like, this is not something you want to be a part of. But I think that's the other thing is to sometimes is like people have like this disdain for.
Speaker: there are a lot of like red States that, you know, feel a lot of soldiers and stuff like that. But it's, I think it's a lot of minorities now who it is. They have no other real prospect in, you know, the neighborhoods they grew up in and it's, they're out, you know, we've seen plenty of those minorities go to enlist and get detained by ice on the way.
Speaker: Yeah. that's So if you want to weigh your value to the American government, that's it. Like, Dude, anyway, let's move on. Let's get off of this. Yeah, this isn't funny. We just got real sad. This isn't Let me, uh, every time I get too deep into my political shit, what I do, once we start talking about the military, I'm like, I'm going to regret some of the things I say. It's not that I regret it because I think it, but I know how unpopular it can be for people. And I know i have family members and people I really truly care about who are, who are military members and they probably have a problem. What's going on.
Speaker: ah some of them. And I, I don't, if you can be the kind of person in it that can stand up for what's right to whatever degree possible, that's okay. But like, look, if, if you, like we went, we, we know what happened in the Nuremberg trials. Like I don't, I don't, I'm not going to listen to anyone be like, I was following orders. I was told to do it. Like, I don't care. I don't care. If you press the button that bombed the girl's school in Iran,
Speaker: fuck you actually just go fuck yourself and die like you're not a good person you can't just say i was following orders you pressed a button that blew up in elementary school for little girls and that's not okay what if you strangle your little kids yeah then then it's in you you acting like i'm on lindsey clancy's side lindsey clancy that's it right what a minefield i know Hey, the new feminism is supporting Lindsay Clancy. So.
Speaker: don't know. There's certainly a middle ground i like between Lindsay Clancy is a hero and Lindsay Clancy deserves the death penalty. Like somewhere between those two polar opposites. Like, lind you don't believe in that like ah you know, ah ah you know, an institution or something like that rather than prison. We don't live in that world, dude. It's one or the other. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: which is a trap I just fell into. But anyway, moving on. Let me throw a fun ah fun thing at you here. Okay. So this is real quick. slash truth Real quick. I'm going ask you hit pause because when I went down here, none of my kids were sleeping and I need to go make sure that they're not causing chaos. Okay.
Speaker: Everyone's asleep. My house is in order. Not a creature was stirring, except my cat who licked his penis. I sent Casey a video. I sent Casey a video before we got started.
Speaker: I came down to my basement, and my cat was sitting on the couch just going hard. Going hard sucking his own dick. He's just push, tongue-punching that little pink button. Dude, it was nuts. I took a video of it and sent it to you. I was like... was like... Dude, he was...
Speaker: duty he was I don't like everyone's seen a dog's dick before. Like when you pet a dog the right way, they're just dick shoots out. It's normal. You go, Oh, look at that. That's fine. It's, yeah it's weird. Try to push it back in.
Speaker: Yeah, it's weird when your kids are like, what's that? You're like, uh, nothing. I don't know. I don't really know what to do with this right now. But I came down. My cat's cleaning himself. He's just going hard on his dick. like And the thing was shooting straight out.
Speaker: it It was just that little corkscrew weird cat penis. It's like a kernel of corn. It's so goofy. and it's And he just stared up at me.
Speaker: And know it's just like his head right next to his penis looking up, like eyes up looking at me with like almost those upward puppy dog eyes. And I was like, so I immediately took out my phone and start recording it. And he went right back to sucking it. He was going nuts.
Speaker: I said to do a group chat that I'm in with some friends and my wife and she was so mad at me for posting. She was like, why would you post that? Like he's just cleaning himself. I'm like, this cat is fully bricked up right now. He is not just cleaning it. He's polishing that shit.
Speaker: Yeah. This is built in natural comedy. It's so funny. That's like, I always go back to, I mentioned it a while back, but like when you go to the zoo and you just watch like monkeys doing weird shit to each other,
Speaker: And there was one time I was there and that there was this one monkey, like just shooting his tongue straight up another monkey's asshole. It was like the little tiny chimps, like not chimps, the little like lemur type size ones. Like, yeah. And it was just like, boom, boom, tongue punching the shit out of another monkey's asshole. It was so funny. I took a video of that. I'm like, this is so funny. This is why you take kids to the zoo. So you'd be like, oh my God, what is he doing? You're like, this is nature, children.
Speaker: Watch and learn, I guess.
Speaker: Being on the farm. yeah So sticking with the theme of prophecy. Okay. this is This is an r slash true Christian. Has anyone ever seen a prophecy actually come true?
Speaker: I believe in the gift of prophecy, and the Bible even says it's good to desire the gift of prophecy. However, I do see a pattern that there are many false prophecies in the church, especially online.
Speaker: That should tell you something. that idea That should tell you something. I personally have never seen a prophecy come true that I have heard online, and I don't know anyone in my personal life that has the gift of prophecy. So I wonder if you guys have ever seen a prophecy come true.
Speaker: and I love this comment section. Let me tell you something first, though. The reason you've never seen it come true online is because you're lacking the collective effort at effervescence of seeing it in person. That's the only reason.
Speaker: It's the same bullshit. But when you're seeing it, like when you're in person, you allow group think to take over and you're like, wow, God answered that prophecy because of my personal experience.
Speaker: Versus like online, you're like grifter like it's. That's it, that's the only difference, all of its bullshit, no one's prophesying anything. It is funny because it's such a like a um a grandiose.
Speaker: Like ah assertion, you know, that you to to to prophesy about something is like it's really like ah like putting all your chips out there in terms of your credibility.
Speaker: Yeah, so show me a prophet who's not a narcissist. do I don't think you can split the difference. I don't think you can. Well, it's just funny to see how like how granular you have to get to like exhibit a quote-unquote fulfilled prophecy.
Speaker: So there's a bunch of comments in here about it. The gift of prophecy isn't always grandiose. It's not a fortune-telling predicting of your life. Sometimes it's a small nudge given in advance, and you only need it later.
Speaker: Example, yes, I have seen a prophecy come true. Where could this be going? When I was a small nudge, that's also like. Oh, it could be a small nudge pointing in a direction. That's called ah emotional manipulation, my friend. Like yeah you're just you're just declaring to the world that you're a weak willed bitch and that's fine. You know, the world's full of them, but like you don't have to wear it on like ah your fucking chest like that.
Speaker: When I was seven, my pastor's wife came to me and told me that she gets dreams sometimes and that she had a dream where she so had seen me grow up into a pastor.
Speaker: Who's right? Is this a guy writing this? Yeah. and He fucked the pastor's wife. He fucked the pastor's wife. He was seven. Yep. She fucked him. So he was molested into the into the clergy? That's why he thinks it's true. I guess that is how it works.
Speaker: Okay. Not on paper. The pastor's wife came to him when he was seven and explained a prophecy. I think she prophesied that he was going to enter her. i think ah I think maybe he had a dream about this experience. Yeah, this is just his his his first wet dream as a seven-year-old.
Speaker: Yeah, well, I wanted nothing to do with that. At seven, I wanted nothing less than to be in a dusty church, but it stuck with me. Every once in a while, I'd think about it and think, was there something to that or not?
Speaker: Well, fast forward 20 years and life is pretty rough. Long story short, in the span of a year, all my wife and pet and my pets died. All my wife and my pets died. Well, now I feel little bad. Jesus Christ, dude.
Speaker: He totaled all his wife and all his pets and he got molested. This is so dark, dude. I feel so bad now. Firstborn son and wife almost died in childbirth. So did she die or all my wife and my pets died and then firstborn son and wife almost died in childbirth? Does he consider his children his pets? Now I'm curious.
Speaker: That could be. How many wives does he have? Did one die and one almost die? I had stage 3 cancer out of nowhere, doing chemo and radiation, almost died in surgery, an apartment flooded, forcing us to live in a hotel for weeks, running up credit card debt.
Speaker: And on that particular day, I thought about this dream again, and I really, really examined it. I spent a large portion of the day wondering, thinking about my situation and praying, "'Lord, is this really what you want from me? I don't see how when everything else is so tough.'" Well, after praying about it, I opened up my Bible.
Speaker: In the back is an appendix of topics. So I go to look That always works out. So I go to look up calling, since that is what the Bible calls being called to preach.
Speaker: I open to the appendix page, calling, next entry, right below it, my name. yeah I hate this. he he He became a pastor. He saw that... he yeah Dude, he's on his bottom dollar. He's down and out. The Lord's calling into ministry.
Speaker: He's probably doing just fine now. This is so funny, too, like the the way it's explained. This is the the divine circle of events that led to him. His his immense ministry that has impacted you know ah thousands and tens of thousands is I open to the appendix page calling next entry right below it.
Speaker: My name. Seems pretty clear to me. I truly believe I was given a sign. So I'm a pastor in training now. So he's not even a pastor yet. and he's calling this completed and done.
Speaker: i hate this. It's basically like a woman extroked my ego when I was seven. Yep. And told me about my internal significance and importance. And I remember it. here That's, that's so fucking weird to do that. It's very weird. And that woman needs to go to prison.
Speaker: If she isn't already for molesting other children. Find another church, a kid who grew up in church that didn't at some point feel like they were called to go into ministry.
Speaker: Right. Every single one of us thought that that was how everybody had to do it. You know? Yeah. It crossed all of our minds. I'm going to start going. You know what? I feel like it'd be really funny if I started going to churches and prophesying over children and just giving them wild, wild people.
Speaker: Forever feel disappointment when they don't come true. you're You're going to change the world. And then they're like 40. They're like, that never happened. Imagine how much like searching you have to do ah like to find ah something in the memory banks that qualifies as a as a fulfilled prophecy. This one made me laugh. If I did that enough, it might change the world because so few people would...
Speaker: believe christianity and then we'd just be in a better spot
Speaker: uh this person says all the time but that comes with being in charismatic slash pentecostal circles that comes with uh you know juvenile onset schizophrenia yeah A notable one was when my mentor was praying and she told me that the next day i would have the opportunity to pray for someone and they would be healed.
Speaker: The next day came and went and my mentor was in the process of apologizing for giving a false word when my little brother texted me something like, hey, I really messed up. Can you pray for me? I immediately called him and said, probably too enthusiastically, dude, I've been waiting for this all day I prayed for him, and he was completely healed of all anger issues.
Speaker: Oh, my God.
Speaker: It's been close to a year since that happened, and he's a completely different person now. Praise the Lord. i ah
Speaker: It's so self-aggrandized. I've been waiting for this all day. Like, dude, this is just, it this is so unhealthy. your Your brother got a little more emotional control over himself, but it's because of you.
Speaker: You healed him. Through the grace and glory of God. I, dude I don't, like, and and that woman was apologizing. And this is another woman who's just giving weird prophecy advice to a child.
Speaker: Like, this is child, ah like, this is I don't want to be that guy that goes that's child abuse, but you've, you've fucked this person up for years.
Speaker: It's in, it's like such a, it's, it's such an egotistical like yeah concept, you know, like giving prophecy, like I'm important enough. I'm special enough. I'm clean and pure enough that God is speaking directly to me. He's using me as the vessel to tell other people about their potential and their futures. And if you're the one on the receiving end, it's like,
Speaker: I'm so special that God saw fit to talk directly to this person about my eternal significance. The irony being when there's someone absolutely deranged in a position of power, that's an awful person, but got one thing right at one time. They're like,
Speaker: Well, you know, when you look back at the Bible, God used the most broken people to do the most important things. Yeah. And you're like, so, oh, so none of this means anything. That's all I hear. All I hear is all of this is meaningless and worthless and that it's actually not, none of this is true. Because if, dude, that's what the Bible, this is what drives me nuts about Christians is they go,
Speaker: The Bible is, they they do this they do all the gymnastics to make to be like the Bible's univocal. And then all they do is talk out of both sides of their mouth when it's convenient about why God used this or that. It's like, well, God can use broken people. Well, I'm so spiritually mature that God used me. It's like everything works. It's a fucking plug and play. You can do whatever you want with it. And then yeah and still have the audacity to be like, all of this is actually...
Speaker: one voice saying the same thing. It's like, you're the least consistent motherfucker I've ever talked to. It's a really like, it's not a surprise that like this idea, this prophecy idea is so rampant here because it fits so well with like, just like American culture, this like, egoistical self-centered, like self-worship.
Speaker: Yeah. Like, which is the problem with evangelicalism. Like it's not, um, Evangelical Christianity is distinctly American. And that's why when you go to like other countries and you see people who are practicing Christians, you're like, well, that's actually seems nice. I get behind some of that.
Speaker: it's catching on Catherine on a world tour her right now. And it's very, it's so depressing. I posted about it last night on the page, but like she was in, but in France and like people were doing the, ah the jitter falls, you know, yeah like when she touched them or whatever. and I was thinking of like, God, this is so much more depressing to see people in Europe doing this. Cause like, I want so bad to think that they're better than us.
Speaker: And they're not. Yeah. Like, oh, no, we're all Here's another one. Small stuff can be prophetic also.
Speaker: Whoa, don't the small stuff is important, too. How do I grasp on the meaning and make my what life meaningful? ah Dude, I love the really ambiguous ones that are yeah' like, oh, there you go. The first gift of the baptism of Holy Spirit flowing through me, then I noticed, was prophetic. I was talking to a colleague who has just moved into town and is looking for a house to rent, and his family is moving over in a couple weeks' time.
Speaker: So we were discussing neighborhoods, and it just seemed good to me to tell him to look for house in XYZ area. There were no houses offered in that area, though. We didn't think much of it, and he continued looking where the offers are. All the two, three houses that he looked at were over the week was all unsuitable. This is almost unreadable. Yeah, that's bad.
Speaker: Throughout the week, I kept repeating All the houses looked at. xyz is where he should look eventually he even found it odd as to why it was such a fixation on xyz location and i told him i haven't got a clue why but it just seemed good practically two days before his family was to get on a plane and fly over to where i caught that too like so what how many days dude It's either two days or practically what? It was right around the corner. It right around corner.
Speaker: It might have been like seven weeks. couldve but I mean, who knows? Family comes soon. Very soon. Practically two days.
Speaker: Uh, practically two days before his family was to get on a plane and fly over to where he is. The agent called and said, there is a house that's just got its keys returned today available at XYZ. Would you like to look at it?
Speaker: He collect the keys immediately, went to look at the house video, call his wife who immediately fell in love with it. And he signed for the house the same day. Prophecy. Praise be to God.
Speaker: I like real estate prophecies the best, baby.
Speaker: Dude, the the real estate market is such a crapshoot. Like, for every story like that, there's 10 stories where people were led astray and overpaid for a house. I overpaid for a house last year. I mean, I overpaid for the shit that I live in.
Speaker: And you know why? Because i was a month away from having a baby At my in-laws. Practically two days. All my shit in storage. Like, it got to a point where like, this is a good house. this is the This feels like a great house for us. But at the same time, like, i don't want to pay that much.
Speaker: But I didn't want to have a baby in my my in-laws' in-law apartment. Like, I didn't. That would have been a nightmare. so you Sam can't explain why. But every time close eyes, he just kept thinking financial ruin, financial ruin. But I could reframe that. I told you that the way I wanted, it like the way that it feels to me, but I could reframe it and be like, we we were in this situation. Things were getting tight. It was really hard.
Speaker: We were about to have a baby. We looked at seven, eight, nine, 10 houses. Nothing was working out. Then this house came up and it was in the a great area with a great,
Speaker: it's like oh all the it checked almost every single box we wanted blah blah blah and then it fell into our lap and we we bid we bid for the house and there was a whole bunch of people at the open house a bunch of people were gonna bid we're bidding for it and uh we just squeaked in the highest bid so we got the house and it's like that's another way to reframe it and i could be like prophecy i didn't tell you like but i actually like i had a vision of that before it happened Yeah, actually, and in that vision was you bid on the house, so that way I had to go up.
Speaker: you were just You were just like faking it. You're like, no, I'm going to bid an extra $5,000, and then it comes back to me. I'm like, I'll go $10,000. I tried to eBay snipe you. Yeah, you fucked me financially as a bit. Yeah.
Speaker: And so you can make a comment. You can just comment on this Reddit thread. Also, that way, like, a year later, you can be like, how funny was that bit, dude? ah Yeah, I ah had this vision that Sam should raise my kid, so I got him taken away by CPS.
Speaker: But he's in his dude you could even Dude, you can make anything a prophetic vision like that, though. You're right, because... As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I'm a new foster parent again, and I'm like, I could i could easily spin that. It's like, you know, ah the Lord thought that this was the right place, and it's working out great. And like, yeah, but meanwhile, some mom had their child stolen from her, and she's desperate to get them back.
Speaker: So I was like, you know, I prayed and prayed, and I tried to purchase several children, but then this one just fell into my lap. yeah and it did. It was like... Just an email out of the blue.
Speaker: I'm like, yeah, i could use an extra $900 a month for fostering a child. You should just start putting like a little bowl of Laffy Taffy out on your porch and see if you can just bring them in like stray cats.
Speaker: Dude, the the kind of egregious person you have to be to be a foster parent for the money. Like the money's like, it's helpful. It really does go a long way. It's it, it allows you to take care of a kid.
Speaker: Like, very very well like so i but then you could think of like i like dude i not to drift this into something over emotional but i've probably cried almost every day for the past three weeks like this is a challenge there's challenge it's a challenging experience and you're it I think about a lot of different angles of it.
Speaker: I think about its impact on my kids. I think about, and thankfully my kids are great. Like I spend a lot of time, ah my son's chill. Like he's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah. Like he just goes with the flow. Like he's not thinking so much about a lot of this, but my daughter She's more like, here are the challenges about this situation for me. And her and I will sit up at night and we'll talk about these things.
Speaker: I'll try to address them in a way that's reasonable. Like, but it's very, it's the challenging and an emotionally challenging experience to do this. and
Speaker: I know people who grew up in foster care. Like some my good friends grew up in foster care and they grew up in homes. They they spent time in homes that had like four or five foster kids and they were not treated well.
Speaker: um And so like when you think of the situation that some kids are in, you're like, if you have four or five foster kids, you're, you're, That's a that's a line item, dude like that. You're OK. You're you're making money off those kids.
Speaker: And so like. To be the kind of like. Person who's just like an emotional black hole where you can just fill your house with children and not give a fuck is so insane to me. Just make them strip copper wire in your junkyard like that Mary Kate and Ashley movie.
Speaker: ah it's so dark. I'm like, I got one new kid in my house and I'm like, this is nuts. Like I'm having a hard time. Like and it it hits me from different angles. Sometimes it's like, like there are, you know, it it adds a new dynamic to the family that you have to address on a regular basis. That's hard. He's in sports. So like now almost every single night of my week is taken up. Like I don't have any free time anymore.
Speaker: And then it's like, You know, his, his, his track is reunification. So I'm like, I'm getting, I'm growing. I'm, ah I'm attached to this kid. Like I'm building an attachment and it's like one day he's going to leave and that's going to, that's going to crush me. That's going to hurt.
Speaker: And then he's having conflicts about whether or not he wants to go back to stay with his mom. because he hasn't had a real relationship with her in two years. He's never lived with her. He sees her once or twice a week.
Speaker: And now they're like, you're going to move back in with her someday. And it's dude, it there's so. And then I think about me as a parent, if someone else had my kid and how devastating it would be, like there's so many like ah aspects of it that I think about on a regular basis that like actually fuck with my head that I'm like,
Speaker: It's insane to think that anyone's like, I'll take five of them so I can pay my bills. Nuts. Not I would probably do something a little more like 21st century and maybe foster like 30 bird scooters.
Speaker: Be the guy with the truck that picks him up. Give him nice home. Grease the wheels. Charge him up. I can see that for you. ah Ginger McSpikey Bang says, oh, OK, well, yes, i can't wait to hear from him.
Speaker: It could be a long story, but the setup in Punchline is I was made to warn a new age friend that they were in danger and needed to pray in Jesus name. I preached the gospel for an hour, which I'd never done. And the next morning he had a spontaneous double lung collapse and nearly died. Yeah, because you preach the gospel for an hour and he was just in his brain. He was like, how do like I? He was so stressed out he didn't breathe the whole time. How do I stop my body from functioning so I don't have to deal with this bitch anymore?
Speaker: ah He was in the hospital for a week. I was there consoling him over the death of his cat. my God. And he kept whispering something under his breath, and it sounded like pinch the oxygen line.
Speaker: Pinch the oxygen line. But I think he was actually asking me to pray with him that that God would enter his heart. Yeah. Yeah. There was no hint of any trouble, and I actually did not at all want to tell him. In fact, I tried not to. This was the most volatile testimony, but not the only one. Prophecy happens with purpose, not by performing a a gifting.
Speaker: Not by performing a gifting. I think he meant grifting. The Lord put my friend to the test that day as a testimony, and it proved to him He still denies Christ.
Speaker: I think it proved to the guy writing this. I don't think it proved. i I think he was looking for his own personal validation, but go ahead. I guess because he gave this guy like some sort of vague, ominous warning that served as proof to him that God spoke to him and gave him warning about his yeah lung collapse, his double lung collapse, which seems like medically impossible.
Speaker: Yeah. Nothing's more fair than preaching the gospel to somebody on their deathbed. Yeah. what That's the highest level of emotional manipulation possible in the human experience.
Speaker: He still denies who Christ is, but I fully believe he would not be alive today if he had not. So it worked! still didt God gave him like an extra... 72 hours to change his mind. Dude, he still denies who Christ is, but I fully believe he would not be alive today if he had not, at least in his heart, called out in his name.
Speaker: That's the fun thing about beliefs, is they can be whatever you want them to be. The next person just comments, yes. Yes. That person felt the need to do that, which is incredible.
Speaker: um This person says, many. Our pastor gives prophetic words for people weekly. Many words he's given me have come true. Example, a family member would receive the gospel in a particular month, several months ahead when they had been resistant.
Speaker: Oh, my God, dude. It didn't happen. I don't believe that that happened.
Speaker: A true prophet speaks for God, telling the future isn't prophecy. We are living in a prophetic time period where the future is unfolding. I see no reason for a prophet the future telling the future. is there time in history where the future isn't unfolding? Fuck this guy.
Speaker: No, that is a great point. That's really stupid. ah What is this person? Okay. is Does this make sense? I don't even know if it does. There is prophecy and the and prophecy.
Speaker: And he says prophecy with an S and prophecy with a C. with an e oh I was thinking prophecy with like the right way and then prophecy with an S-E-E at the end.
Speaker: A prophecy, C-Y, is a divine message from God. We have the apostles. God speaks through Jesus in these last days. We have scripture. There is no more new revelations. So anyone claiming to be a prophet today or claims to have the gift of prophecy, we can usually count as a false prophet.
Speaker: Okay, and the prophecy, would the C as a proficunt?
Speaker: Maybe. there is prophey Is it prophesy? Is that what he's saying? a speaking forth to boldly proclaim. Paul says to desire this gift because it builds up, encourage, and strengthens the church.
Speaker: He says desire this gift more than the gift of tongues. As far as seeing a prophecy come true from someone who claimed to be a prophet, no, I haven't. I was in a few Pentecostal churches about over four years. I haven't actually seen any of this happen, but I did read it in a book that's 3,000 years old.
Speaker: I've heard many make prophecies and claimed they to have the gift of prophecy, but none of them passed. Like one guy said in 2008 that Hillary Clinton was going to be president in 2012 as part of God's judgment.
Speaker: and leaves this is that's if you If you've only heard prophecies that haven't come true and you still believe in prophecy, you're a nutcase. He got a prophetic word from Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Speaker: it It's just no like, dude, that that this all this is, is it all this entire thread is a testament to confirmation bias. That's all it is. Yes. Another lady prophesied I was going to be a CEO of a major Christian organization. Ten years later. Nah, I'm giving this guy. Oh, I can't even give him a like. What the heck?
Speaker: Yeah. You're banned from responding to anything in that group. Oh, I think he. Oh, he deleted his profile. Maybe because of the blasphemy. Yeah. God deleted his profile.
Speaker: Someone gave me a word that I would go to Russia. And in about a year I got invited on a mission trip to Russia. So yes, means nothing happens. There's like, there's eight places in the globe where missions trips are occurring on a regular basis. And one of them is Russia. You pick the worst one.
Speaker: Why didn't you go to the Caribbean? Brazil, but brazil ah Also known as gay Mecca to save the ah to save the gays. Yeah.
Speaker: how would you automatically so Like businessmen who go to China or to ta like Cambodia on business trips and and ah suspiciously maybe gay Christians that go on missions trips to Brazil.
Speaker: Yeah. How many missions trips to Brazil happen where someone ends up being a bottom and realizing who they really are? That's a gift in and of itself that a lot of people don't regard. you know It's a spiritual gift, too. it It doesn't align with their understanding of prophecy.
Speaker: I love when people reference Paul, too. you like, well, Paul says. it's like Paul also said that the only reason you should come in a woman is if you can't hack celibacy, so you have to get married.
Speaker: His ideas weren't all good. like Can't we just recognize that now?
Speaker: ah This guy says, yes, on several different levels, such as personal, local community, etc. But if you mean a prophecy on a national slash world level about foretelling an event that make headlines to someone foretelling an event.
Speaker: ah yeah and A video on YouTube was posted in 2017 or 2018 warning NBA Lakers star player Kobe Bryant about his death. The prophecy came to pass in 2020 when Kobe Bryant sadly passed away, oh my god which is the only reason you pay any attention to this shit is because it came true. How many people have prophesied bullshit? Like you're going to stop clock shit, dude. You're going to be right sometime. Like so dumb. These people are hacks.
Speaker: If you would like to see it, do a YouTube search for A Dream About Kobe Bryant. The ministry is Keep It Moving Ministries, x Inc. There are a couple of other divine men messages on the ministry YouTube channel also. Look in the divine messages playlist.
Speaker: i Can that be our next episode? Is that video? I was just thinking to have to look that up. The next national world slash world level prophecy that the ministry keep it moving ministries has mentioned in several of the YouTube videos is Air Force One Can't Fly.
Speaker: There's also a song the ministry recently released titled Air Force One Can't Fly. What? That's insane. They released a song about it. Why is this person doing it?
Speaker: This is why you don't do PCP while writing Reddit posts.
Speaker: This is also stupid.
Speaker: Not one that is better than any stage magician, hot or cold greeter or psychic can do. My wife years ago used to to do cold readings on people. She wasn't pretending to be psychic, magic or spiritual. It was just fun to amaze people at how she could know so many things about them in their personal lives. It was just a trick that anyone could do if they know the techniques and practice.
Speaker: Yeah, I bet prophecy has the same correctness rate that like tarot card reading does. ah Yeah, maybe even worse. Dude, we got, okay, keep it moving ministries. We got to see if we can find this.
Speaker: Keep it moving.
Speaker: The gospel, the spirit, keep the spirit moving. I bet it's really, I bet it i bet it comes from trying to keep the Holy Spirit. Let's see, air force.
Speaker: Air Force Air Force Ones. Oh, OK. Air Force One Can't Fly, a prophetic song.
Speaker: I moved already. That piano dude. hmm. Inspired by the Holy Spirit. Air Force One Can't Fly. This is so good.
Speaker: Only God knows.
Speaker: This is the opening to the episode. What does this mean? Holy they God knows. What? Yeah.
Speaker: I guess it's not worth asking the question.
Speaker: Is this AI, you think? Is it a solid gold Qatar Air Force One? It's definitely AI if you look at the video. The video looks AI as fuck.
Speaker: Was that Idris Elba? It kind of looks like him.
Speaker: Okay, good AI song. like Let me see if there's a...
Speaker: Pull up the lyrics. Oh, it gives you a link so you can play it on, on a you can load it into your Spotify. Yeah, that's nice. You can play it at your church. You could put it in the the the call to worship, the response time maybe. They they don't have the lyrics listed.
Speaker: Well. That seems insane. That's weird. Is it, um does it say a year? What year did it come out? ah This year, March 2nd. It's definitely. Sung by Charles Wiggins Jr. Oh.
Speaker: Remember in life, all sorts of things come our way to slow us down or to make us lose faith. Don't give up. Stay with God. And remember to keep it moving. Only stop to rest yourself and then get up and keep it moving. Let go. Let God.
Speaker: Yeah. Don't stop, but unless you need to for a second, but then you, then you keep moving. like Everybody moves eventually. Oh, um I would like to close. Is this, is this the theme song for my 300 pound, my so like 600 pound sisters or whatever that that my 300 pound life was like when we were kids and like a 900 pound person would watch Richard Simmons videos and clap and they lost like 400 pounds just doing that.
Speaker: Did they, was this an ode to Ralphie May?
Speaker: Um, I have one thing I would like to close on uh, unless you got, uh, something else that you wanted to touch on. No, I'll, I'll allow it. Um, you remember our, our friend, friend of the show, pastor Steven Anderson.
Speaker: yeah. Which one was he? He's one that beats his kids with a belt and yup yeah and his wife and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah. Great guy. There's some cool ah like old clips of him that have been popping up recently. Nice.
Speaker: I saw a bunch of channels make videos about this one, and I thought it might be enjoyable for for everybody to hear. impossible because she belongs to you. Amen?
Speaker: you know Oops. And it's impossible to rape your... Oh, my God. It's impossible to rape your wife. Yep. And it's impossible to rape your wife.
Speaker: Idiots out there online. Idiots. Idiots. That's not even possible. Because she belongs to you. Amen? You know? And and here's the thing. If somebody does something worthy of death. Who said amen?
Speaker: You know, if somebody is kidnapping. murder most of his congregation hey if the cops kill him so be it that's life you shouldn't be committing capital crimes that are worthy of death but if your husband slaps you down and you call the cops you're evil period oh you're the one who's evil great closer bothering you anyone anyone am i bothering you because you know what i don't want to pastor a church of idiots I think that pastor church of evil feminist broads who call the cops on their husband.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: You know, I'll give you an example. Pastor Salvador, also known as pastor who? also those also Also known known as Pastor Me. And priest's sermon.
Speaker: And he literally saying in that sermon, you know, that that just, you know, if you if you even so much as pinch your wife, it is illegal is the way he says it oh not Pastor And he's talking about just if you're, you know, if you get physical with your wife in any way, you know, it's illegal.
Speaker: And then not only that, he goes on to say that, you know, if you are coercing or bullying your wife, into getting physical with you, you know, because you're a husband and you actually want your wife to get physical with you. Imagine that.
Speaker: We're saying that that's illegal and, you know, you could go to prison for life. And, you know, the guy's crazy. I think that he's literally mentally ill. I'm not using hyperbole when I say that.
Speaker: Yeah, no. But he literally says this. He said, well, you know, you've got to catch your husband forcing you to do this and turn him over to the police. And so he said, you know, obviously you're not going to want to film anything like this because that'd be a pretty weird video.
Speaker: But he said, yeah you've got, and I know, don't get mad at me. I'm not the one who said this crazy crap. I'm preaching against it. He literally said you do is you get a voice recording and he's literally telling women, record your husband just verbally telling you, hey, tonight it's going to be on in Taiwan, you know, tonight. And it's like, it sos funny get him like telling you that shit yeah and coercing you and demanding that and get a recording and take it to the police. It's mind blowing. It's madness. Then you have Cassandra McMurtry.
Speaker: He's still going. Right? Pastor's wife. I never shut Cassandra McMurtry getting up and saying, and like I always say abuse is never an option. And so if you are experiencing any kind of physical abuse whatsoever, you need to get help. And I recommend that you go to the authorities.
Speaker: She's literally saying, you know, let me translate that for you. If your husband, quote unquote, abuses you physically in any way, and remember, to these people, everything is abuse. That's translation.
Speaker: To these people. Oh, everything is abuse. You need to call the cops on your husband. Okay? Any, that's physically abusive in any way, you go to the cops your house. Folks, that is unbiblical trash.
Speaker: You say, don't like this sermon. Okay. Well, then you know what? Why don't you hit the road, Jack or Jackie? And don't you come back no more because i will never back down on this issue and i will die on this hill.
Speaker: Yeah, you will die on this hill. And it just keeps going from there. But like... That was pleasant. hate that man. I love how he's like, and so don't get mad at me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't abuse your spouse. Don't get mad at me.
Speaker: I'm the one saying you should do it. Dude, these guys are so lame. It's the same like Greg Locke thing where he says something insane and then he's like, oh, oh, oh, does that make you uncomfortable?
Speaker: Yeah, I don't care. Hey, newsflash, buddy. I don't care. Hit the bricks, pal. Don't let the door hit you. The gospel is uncomfortable. How crazy is it that people are like chalking what he set up like that, that he is chalking what he set up to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I mean, ah yeah, just imagine his kids who he beats with a paddle or his fists or a belt or whatever object is in within reach. Imagine you're you're his kids sitting in that congregation listening to your lunatic father. Some people are laughing. They're like, that's funny. This is why there are women's voices laughing like, yeah, yes, I ah yeah, that's I love when my husband rapes me, dude, but that's that there. It's Stockholm syndrome. That's what that shit is.
Speaker: If you're in a place like that and you're a woman, you're, you're probably, it's probably Stockholm syndrome. You're like, I guess mean, always open. I'm always open.
Speaker: it is he fell in love with your captor? yeah i mean, he said it himself. Your husband owns you. Stockholm Syndrome, dude. Dude, this is the kind of stuff, though, that like... Because at the end of the day, okay, there's coercion, there's all that. But like, at some point...
Speaker: you're an adult and you're responsible for your own decisions and the way that you see things and the way that the things that you do you know and so when you watch like a documentary about a cult like if you watch a jonestown documentary and they they interview all these people who were like in the cult there's like this there's this constant effort to like peddle this notion that like they're not actually responsible for for participating in any of the things that the the group did that was bad. You know, even if you were if you weren't in Guyana and you were just in like, you know, in their church on the in San Francisco or wherever it was, but they're they're doing like ah like these struggle sessions where they beat people into submission and stuff like that on ah on a a weekly basis.
Speaker: You sat in the congregation, you're just like these people who are sitting there listening to this guy who's a wife beater and a child abuser. He is absolutely that. Okay. There's no question about it now. You sit in that congregation and you giggle at his little jokes and you continue to go back week after week after week when he eventually gets busted. Right. for like nearly killing a kid or beating them, you know, until they're bloody and then getting caught and stuff like that. Like, and there's a, there's a Netflix documentary or something like, I don't want to hear about just like how duped and hoodwinked you were. Like you are a participant and you could say like, I was wrong. And I, I had a really bad like thought pattern going there, but like, they never do. They're always like,
Speaker: There's always like I'm not really talking so much about the women in this situation. Yeah. More than men. But I clarify that because as a woman, you might be like, I'm I I enter into this now. um Now I am. you You might be. Yeah, you might be.
Speaker: But you also might be a fully you might fully endorse this worldview, even though it's people endorse worldviews that are against their interests all the time. yeah You know, yeah no, sometimes there's situations where you're coerced into supporting this kind of stuff. But then there's other situations where, like, no, you're just a willing participant in it, you know?
Speaker: I don't know. I just... This kind of stuff, like, boggles my mind because this takes a group of people to, like, keep this yeah going for years. Yeah, it's like the group thing takes over. Yeah, of course. But also what this guy's doing is he's trying to muddy the waters and split the difference between...
Speaker: um Like, there there is If you're looking at the polar opposites in this discussion, it's it's his side, which is you can't rape your wife. You're the man. If you if you're horny, you get to fuck. like though that's That's his line. And then there's the the other end, which is no no woman should ever, ever have a sexual encounter with their spouse, even if they're if they're not that into it. that That's tantamount to rape.
Speaker: Um, and so when you're, when you're, and this is what people do, this is what, you know, you see it in politics. You see this a lot, which is people pick the two opposite ends of the spectrum and be like, now we're stuck in this paradigm.
Speaker: Right. And they, they, they, then they try to bolster their end of the paradigm and they, they paint the other side as like insane trash, whatever. And so.
Speaker: but there is a middle, there is like middle ground, you know, there's, there's, that's a whole spectrum of belief, uh, which is like, there are plenty of healthy, well-functioning couples where it's like, it's,
Speaker: it's like a
Speaker: It's just known that like there is a that in most situations, men are more likely to want to come every day than a woman. Like if if I'm going to just like break it down to something just that simple. Right.
Speaker: And then they're like so when you're married there, it's it's very difficult. it's normal for a woman to be like, I'm not super into it, but like, I know this is important to him. So I'll do it. And so like the extreme side, I'd be like, no, if you're not into it, you need to say no, because now that's sexual coercion. And it's like, no, it's not sexual coercion.
Speaker: It's just like, I recognize that this is important to him and it's been a few days. It's been a week. Like maybe we should just do it. Like in that, that that's an important part of having a healthy relationship is, is the sexual component of that. Like, and what this is, what he does is he just, he says the alternative to what he thinks is that,
Speaker: any woman who decides that it's advantageous to their relationship to sexually satisfy their husband, even if it's not their, their main prerogative is, is actually like this feminist evil, like feminazi type shit. And it's like, dude, she get the fuck out of your own way. Like this is insane shit.
Speaker: Yeah. yeah I feel like it's, it
Speaker: I don't know. i There's definitely like one side of that is dangerous and the other isn't, you know? Yeah. yeah But, and I feel like if you, if you love your partner,
Speaker: then nobody really needs to spell that out to you. You know, like that's, a yes, you you figure it out. yeah Like it's not, yeah figure you figure out your own sexual rhythm. It's it's the, the cartoonish like caricature of that yeah is what he, you know, erects as a straw man ah to bolster. Yeah. Quite literally. but I don't know, man. It's just, it's so crazy. It is like,
Speaker: It's depressing to listen to videos of like Greg Locke's church or because, I mean, you know, Greg Locke's insane. You know, Steven Anderson's insane. But to listen to people in their voice, that's what is like the most alarming is like how angry they are about it. It's like, dude, you can't say those things and be that angry and not be raping all day long.
Speaker: You just rape constantly. Yeah. Like. ah And you can't sit in that congregation and giggle at that stuff unless. you're also a very angry person.
Speaker: Yeah. You're a vindictive, vengeful, like stunted, angry prick. Like that's why you, you have a real hatred for people, you know, for other people.
Speaker: And like, that's, that's how you stomach that just poison every Sunday. you Yeah. And to, to espouse that is wild too. When you're like,
Speaker: Why can't other, why this is that important to you? Like, this isn't like quote unquote gospel shit. This is you telling other people what to think about irrelevant things. Like, why don't you let married couples figure out their sexual patterns and their rhythm? Like, what are you doing? He's setting the table for his own thing.
Speaker: it'ss Yes, that's what it is. it's it's It's him. He's talking about himself entirely here. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's just like when Greg Locke started preaching about like how your marriage could be a false idol, you know, and stuff. And then pretty soon he like divorces his wife and yeah, they're all telling or whatever. all It's like, just start building a case for when the, uh, you know, when the arrests, um,
Speaker: Yeah. When the and you also think about like his kids had to wear long sleeve shirts and stuff at all times, you you know, like to church and everything to cover their bruises and scars and whatnot. Like you also makes you think about I mean, they probably weren't the only ones in that church getting that kind of treatment at home. And how many people had to just overlook that? Like maybe not everybody in the church did that kind of thing to their kids. But they definitely noticed kids coming to church with like, yeah you know, bruises and cuts and scrapes that didn't look right. And you overlook it for years.
Speaker: Yeah. Kind of knowing deep down that like those kids are just getting beat to a pulp at home. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're entirely right about that. But at some level, if you're a participant in that you're overlooking shit. So when he eventually steps on your toes and you decide like, it's time to leave and you go on the Christian podcast circuit, or it gets really crazy and there's a documentary or something like that, like you don't get credit for being like, you know, it just, uh, it just didn't sit right with me.
Speaker: And I knew I had to get out of there. It's like, Yeah. I think you're right to an extent. I, the only caveat I'd make is I bet there are a handful of people, a handful of people in that environment that felt trapped and unsafe to speak up and do something. So I'll, I'll, I'll allow some grace for some people, but I do agree with you to the, yeah. And I think, yeah. And I can tell you think the same, like there are people who were trapped in that, but like,
Speaker: They're at large like you are right. you know That's the majority of the the people in that situation. I think it's like the the Jonestown thing, especially like that's what that's what always is in the back of my mind with that stuff, because like it's weird. Christian Nuremberg. That's what that's what we we talked about that. earlier It's like it's that's.
Speaker: Oh, I was just, i was kind of stuck in it. I didn't mean for it to go that far. Like there's a degree of culpability for being involved regardless. And I, I, yeah. And you can get, and you can leave and be like a respectable, you know, voice in that discussion. If you own what you did.
Speaker: But you got to own your part in it and not paint yourself as some sort of victim in the whole thing. Unless you couldn't leave. Because there are these, like, you know, there are plenty of situations in the world where women can't leave because, like, you know, the finances are entirely held up by a man. They don't have family. in there like There's a lot. Yeah. There are there are people who can't leave.
Speaker: And I just, I, that's the only thing I want to state is that there are people who can't and that those people are absolved. But... In my mind, but overall, i I hear what you're saying, and I think that yeah for the most part, the people involved in that little No, up with that. I think I went a little aggressive. I'm mostly thinking about his wife because she's an awful, horrible person that is a victim in this situation, but like she...
Speaker: she doesn't, she doesn't get to play the like, woe is me. I'm the, you know, she beat those kids herself and treated them awful and told them she hated them and didn't love them and wish they were dead. Like, I don't, you know, At some point, I don't really care what what her deal is. No, of course not. The only reason I'm painting this picture a little like broader is because i I do know that you would agree with that. And I'm just adding that clarification. Yeah, I don't think I explained my thought process very well, but.
Speaker: But we should close out. But before we do, um I am going to promote the Sin on a Sunday Kickstarter. You'll see me promoting that on Instagram for the next 18 days, something like that. I forget how many days are are left on it. But last week we had Josh Carley on to talk about the independent film he's trying to make ah called Sin on a Sunday, produced...
Speaker: by ah Tyler Eaton, who's been on the podcast a couple of times. And ah it seems like a great film. They're only trying to raise $35,000, which for a film to to make an independent film, that's pennies. And it's incredible what they're able to do with such a small amount of money, given the industry. And I, yeah, ah right now they have somebody who's pledging to If they can get 100 backers, I think they're up to, i forget how many they're up to at this point, but even if 100 backers give up $1, if they get 100 backers from the time that that person made their pledge, ah they're gonna donate $5,000, substantial amount of,
Speaker: the the overall amount. I mean, $35,000, get an extra five is huge. So like, go, just give a dollar, do something, whatever it is, one, two, three, four, five, whatever you can. it Plant a seed.
Speaker: Yeah, plant a seed. And i yeah, it's just, i I love seeing people try to, you know, make their own films. I really liked, I loved having Josh on. I thought he was ah such a great guest. Yeah, he's fun.
Speaker: He was able to roll their humor. um he He really fit right in. i This is a guy who understands the whole growing up Christian concept. And I don't think we get enough of...
Speaker: our angle, our experience of growing up Christian in in film and media. It's usually like Catholic or some sort of high church shit. ah So when people are able to incorporate our particular experience into what he's doing, which is like a pulp horror film, I think that's really neat. And I think You know, when he was on, we talked about how much how far money can go in that genre ah because you're not super dependent on like CGI. It's you're not super dependent on what you can do in post.
Speaker: ah One of the the appeals of like the horror genre is what you can do with a smaller amount of money. So ah he's working on that. getting that film made and I would ah I'd love to be able to see it come to fruition and then have him back on to talk about it after it's out and after we get to watch it and after you get to watch it so donate to his Kickstarter ah whether it's $1 you know two three four five uh, I like that, you know, Casey and I have never once tried to raise or make any money on this podcast. And we spend our time trying to get other people money at this point. So like, but if you've even just, even if you've enjoyed this podcast for a while and you want to, you' you've thought about ways you could contribute to it, contribute to that.
Speaker: We're not, we've, Maybe to our own detriment, we've lacked any interest in trying to monetize this thing because we have a lot going on our own lives. And for us, the just don't get to anything.
Speaker: The value is ah just actually having human, even though it's digital, having contact with each other and creating something that we think is fun.
Speaker: ah So if you thought about, oh, I wish I could donate to it or i you know I've listened for years. i mean, we've been doing this since 2020. um Yeah, fuck us. And i just donate a few bucks to a fucking Kickstarter.
Speaker: That's all. That's the end of my pitch. All right, everybody. Well, thanks for listening, and we will see next time.
