Um , so yeah , so do that , and with that , that's it on announcements . So let's get in . Oh , no , we have a big one . Do you want to share what we're doing ?
Speaker 1Wow , you almost forgot about it . I almost forgot , dude . So we talked about this last week and we're going to talk about it this week . Yep , and and no , it's tomorrow and tomorrow . Yeah , I was going to say tomorrow . So today is the November 4th , right , mm-hmm ? Yeah , november 4th . So this episode , episode four , november 4th . Jeez , episode eight , november 4th . Tomorrow , november 5th , you get to see our faces live , live 5th . You get to see our faces live , live . So , because we are doing our election episode on what is that ?
Speaker 2On November 5th . No , no , we're doing our election episode Today , today , november 4th , and we're doing our live stream on November 5th .
Speaker 1And what we're doing is we're just hanging out . I know that this time , you know we're all we're halfway jokes . We're serious half the time , but you know this is a stressful time . So what we're going to do , we're just going to hang out . We're just going to hang out and just spend time playing games , just making our jokes , and , as the night progresses , we're gonna you'll be monitoring the election stats and , um , just be wow .
Speaker 2I mean yeah , pretty sus yeah , uh , no , but yeah , we're just gonna be hanging out playing board games , playing around soundboard , doing all kinds of fun stuff , and then we're going to be praying over the night and checking in on yeah , checking in on on how the election is going be , praying over the candidates as the night goes on and really we'll be live from like eight to what do we say ?
Speaker 1eight to eleven um , I think that we let's plan on eight to 11 , but if the night carries us on , we will carry on .
Speaker 2Carry on my wayward son .
Speaker 1Easy . You don't want to speak ? Copy strike because of how good that sounded . Oh yeah , thanks , so yeah . So that live stream is going to be on YouTube and Twitch On the Saints that Serve podcast on YouTube and the Saints that Serve on Twitch . Do you know what ?
Speaker 2we should do . What's that ? This is like , not , this is me just in the moment thinking something up , so I guess this is Hit me with it . We should do a show prep live on Twitch so that every night that we come to record , we just turn the Twitch live stream on , and it's just until we're about to start recording , and when we start actually recording , then we turn it off . That way you can't get the actual episode Until later .
Speaker 1But but you get to see us and hang out with us while we're . That'd be cool if it was kind of like a corner camera . That kind of just gives the idea . So there's not really any sound , it's just music playing and it's like an hour of just hey , you hang out yeah watch us prep , and then I think we could even do it during the episode , if there's no audio on what is going on well , but I think part of the entertainment is like hearing us joking around while we're prepping .
Speaker 2True , you know , yeah , I know what you mean . But then it's like , hey , we're going to actually do the episode now , so you don't get it until it's released .
Speaker 1See you later . Hey , listeners , if you want to see us prep for the podcast , let us know , we'll do that .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , let us know if that's something you'd put on in the background as a live stream while you're doing whatever you're doing , and we'll make it happen . That's right , alright ? Well , let's go ahead and get into it . Are you ready ?
Speaker 1Hold on , let me make sure .
Wendy's Krabby Patty Review
Speaker 1So we talked about the live stream . So , yeah , just be out watching on the socials for any more details of anything we might have forgot .
Speaker 2Yeah , but we'll get it out there . But , yeah , just be ready for when this comes out tomorrow for our live stream . Uh , if you just are fed up with actual politics and political jargon but you want to keep up to date with the election , come join us . We'll keep you up to date , but we'll , we'll have fun doing it .
Speaker 1So I know I just said , hey , be out on the socials for that , but it's going to be too late at this point .
Speaker 2Yeah , but yeah , all right , are you ready ? Yes , okay , so we , tyler , we are moving into our first segment , which is what we are reviewing the Hold on . Oh , sorry , sorry , sorry .
Speaker 1Let's lead up to it . Wait , don't play it yet . Don't play it yet , okay . So we talked about it a little bit and we're like what could we do ? That's a little different than what we've done already . And so we decided to review some food . Yep , so our local fast food dinery is doing a special promotion on a very special burger off of a beloved children's cartoon what's this ?
Speaker 2Whoa , wow , I'm so excited . What could it be ? This is amazing . Wow , jeez .
Speaker 1This is long .
Speaker 2This video says five hours . How long is he going to keep doing this ? Five hours , oh my gosh .
Speaker 1Preparing the Krabby Patty . Yeah , we ate the Krabby Patty at Wendy's . Yeah .
Speaker 2So I'm not a big SpongeBob guy . I've seen some of it . I'm kind of in the loop for some of the humor , but Juras is the SpongeBob guy .
Speaker 1I watched SpongeBob the very first time they ever aired it . It was like a late night . They aired it after the Kids' choice awards . Yeah , it's like check out this new cartoon when I was like eight years old . Wow , like this is a sneak preview of it . And they showed the first episode . And I've watched spongebob my whole life . But and a quick little thing about spongebob is um , they made three seasons of spon . Yeah , the creator of the show left the show and then it kind of lost the magic that SpongeBob was .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1So , even though there's like 20 something seasons of SpongeBob , the only really good seasons are like the first three seasons and the first movie . So they're just saying that out right now . So any SpongeBob references are going to be from more than likely the first three seasons . Got it so . But yeah , we went well . I went just not too long ago . I stopped by Wendy's and we're going to start there with that whole experience . Okay , rewind real quick , though I have ate this before . Um , a couple weeks ago , when it first came out , with my wife gotcha yes .
Speaker 1So , with that being said , about that , um , I'm I am comparing the two uh experiences side by side . Okay , because my first experience with the krabby patty was oh sorry , yeah , yeah , it wasn't cued , sorry that exactly it was doo-doo . I'm gonna take away your soundboard privileges all right , okay , I'm done .
Speaker 1No , I'm kidding so uh , so um , I left . Work went by the wendy's , the drive-thru was not that long , yeah . Um got up to the ? Um got up to the speaker and the . Immediately there's like hey , we're out of all drinks . Well , all we have is lemonade . Are you okay with that ? Yeah , I'm fine , I'm not getting lemonade , yeah . So I ordered um two krabby patty meals , pulled up to the window and waited 20 minutes oh my gosh and I'm just watching them the whole time standing around doing nothing like what is going on with this ridiculous .
Speaker 1So , uh , finally got it , got back here and and starting with this now and I think you saw the look on my face when I unwrapped this burger yeah , it was two times larger than the first time I got the sandwich , oh , really , yeah . So not only was this a double patty sandwich , yeah , the first time it was like that dave's single , like dollar sandwich . The first time it's super small . Uh , they forgot the tomatoes and the onions and all that stuff that like was supposed to come with it the first time , yeah , and then this time it's like double the size . With it came with everything it was supposed to be . It was a double cheeseburger with , um , tomatoes , lettuce , uh , onions , and it's supposed to have , like this special sauce on it , um .
Speaker 1So I guess , getting into the thoughts on it , it was tremendously better this time than the first time . Okay , but the sandwich was just a windy sandwich with some sauce on it , with a very close McDouble sauce . It did taste kind of like a Big Mac sauce on it , yeah , so I will say that the sandwich was good , but nothing special about the sandwich that made me say , oh , wow , this is SpongeBob . Wow , I had the Krabby Patty , whoa yeah . So I think honestly , looking at the promotional material , it was not supposed to be a double . I think they just gave us doubles . That's beautiful . It was not supposed to be a double , I think they just gave us doubles . That's beautiful . So , and then with it too came a special edition frosty pineapple frosty because Spongebob lives in a pineapple , yep .
Speaker 2Wait , who lives ?
Speaker 1in a pineapple Spongebob under the sea . Oh , got it .
Speaker 2Yeah , so it wasn't that flavor was was not pineapple , that was not even remotely .
Speaker 1It was the artificial pineapple , even if that , even that like it tasted like mango syrup or something . So I watched them make it . So they took they like pumped like the sauce into the bottom of the cup and then just some dispensed um vanilla frosty into it . So they didn't even mix it up . It's just vanilla frosty on top of some syrup . Yep , and that's how it is . When you eat it , I don't know if you're supposed to mix it up . I ate it . How they handed it to me ? Yeah , same and so , uh , well , how they handed it to you that's how .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , so , um . So you were just sitting there and then , like they did a couple squirts of something in your cup and you're like what's that ? And they're like oh , it's pineapple . And then you were like seems suspicious .
Speaker 1so , yeah , like you get to , like it's vanilla the whole way through until you get to the bottom . And you get like this really sweet syrup yeah , the bottom and your last few bites . By the time , you're already tired of this frosty After eating a double pattied hamburger .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1And it also came with regular old fries Regular old fries . So that's my opinion on it . Like it's it's a regular sandwich . Yeah , you know it . Like it's it's a regular sandwich . Yeah , you know what I mean it's a regular burger . There's nothing special about it it's truly a promotional .
Speaker 1It's nothing in every way , like you go . And what's so crazy is they did they went really extra on the promotional material like , yeah , instead of taking pictures of this burger , they actually like drew it in kind of like an art style that's shown in spongebob . Yeah , they sometimes have like this weird , like painting hyper detailed cartoony images sometimes in spongebob . Yeah , and that's the style . They had the all the promotional material for this . So all the pictures is not even like even what a real sandwich would look like well for social .
Speaker 2Wendy's actually put out a video and it was that video that we just had play and the only difference was they added now at wendy's at the very end of it oh , we should have played that and that was it but yeah , because I remember seeing it , I was like oh , that's pretty cool .
Speaker 1So um what do you think of the ?
Speaker 2sandwich . I think I'm in the same box as you Like . There's nothing that screams like this is a special sandwich . Mm-hmm , it wasn't bad .
Speaker 1No , but I will say my first one was bad yeah .
Speaker 2So I will say that it did taste a little different than the normal patties at .
Speaker 1Wendy's Do you think it's because they had that sauce on it ?
Speaker 2No , it wasn't the sauce , because there was a lot of bites that had no sauce for me .
Speaker 1I feel like they went really light on the sauce . They could have gone more with the sauce . If they would have gone more with the sauce and it would have added that distinct taste that would have made this unique . I feel like that's . What killed the sandwich is the lack of any unique flavoring to this sandwich . I'm pretty sure it was like Thousand Island dressing on it or something .
Speaker 2Yeah , probably so , and yeah , so it didn't taste like crab , like the theory . That's what it's actually made out of and it's not a problem .
Speaker 1You're telling me that the Krabby Patty is made out of crabs .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's why Mr Krabs is the only crab in Bikini Bottom . That's not true .
Speaker 1Is there another one ? Yeah , his mother , mr Krabs' mom . Oh yeah , there is an episode .
Speaker 2There's another one . There's another one that it's made out of a dead whale .
Speaker 1Oh , that theory . Yeah , the only reason he's raising his daughter , because his daughter is a whale daughter's way , because he adopted her when he killed her parents . Yep , uh , the . In the show they make a joke that it's made out of plankton . Like oh , yeah , yeah , because like um , I think that they kind of like debunk that in the episode and like that they said like oh , it's made out of plankton , to scare away mr k's um competition plankton . Yeah , so like he gets the formula , opens up the book and it's just like the secret ingredient is it's just a picture of him . So I was seriously spongebob's really funny . Yeah , it's very . It was , in all intents and purposes , a family show . There was jokes in it that were really funny . Yeah , and even to this day , if I do watch it , I still laugh .
Speaker 2Yeah , because it's really cleverly written Fun lore for the JJCU . Oh , that's right , jjcu . Janelle was in the SpongeBob the Musical in one of her performances .
Speaker 1She was the computer Karen , the computer wife to Plankton .
Speaker 2Yep .
Speaker 1Yep . So moral of the story next time we do this segment , uh , we'll find some better food , yeah we'll do something crazy like the uh heart attack burger .
Speaker 1Yes , what is ? What is that place where , like vortex , is it the board ? No , what's the place that I think it's literally called heart attack burger , where you have to wear like a patient's gown , a hospital gown , and they have this burger . That's massive and like you don't have to pay for it if you finish it , but it's like like 20 burgers in one burger kind of thing . Like the amount of food in it , jeez , and like if you weigh a certain amount , you get to eat your food for free , and it's like over 500 pounds or something like that . If you weigh over 500 ? Yeah , they have a scale outside the restaurant and if you weigh over 500 pounds , then you get to eat for free .
Speaker 2No one that weighs over 500 pounds is traveling . There's no way .
Speaker 1They are traveling to this restaurant to eat for free Every day . That's how they keep their physique . They take three steps , lose a hundred pounds , like I got to build it back up . So I go to Heart Attack Burger .
Speaker 2Oh my gosh dude , that's crazy , yeah . So yeah , krabby Patty subpar , but does it bring ?
Speaker 1back any kind of childhood nostalgia . I did not bite into that burger and go Got it . My heart did not laugh like SpongeBob . I'm sorry .
Speaker 2Got it All right . Well , that's pretty much it for that review
Burger Reviews and Election Chatter
Speaker 220 .
Speaker 1It's okay , what do you give it out of 10 ? I will say the price between the two of us $24 for two people two people to eat some burger . Yeah , fast food burger . Fast food burger $24 . Not worth the price .
Speaker 2Yeah , not worth the price , I'm going to give it . As far as burgers go , I'm going to give it like a three . Really , it's not that it tastes disgusting , but it does not stand out in any way to any kind of burger . What is your favorite fast food burger to have ? My favorite fast food burger is a Dairy Queen Flamethrower .
Speaker 1That boy is good . I like me a double quarter pounder Okay At McDonald's .
Speaker 2Yeah , I like the Flamethrower because it's like you can do , you know , either a single or like up to a triple . I think they . I think it's because they charboil their patties they're not like smash patties or anything like that and and they've got their flame sauce and pepper jack cheese on it .
Speaker 1So it just makes it a really spicy burger , but it's good , uh , second option , really , if we're talking about a normal hamburger double quarter pounder , which , by the way , is uh currently , uh got like some disease in them right now . The meat , yeah , mcdonald's like everything for that burger is being recalled right now do .
Speaker 2Do you remember that online Zelda game ? It was like someone did a mock of Zelda . I mean , it was everything Zelda , like the names and everything , but it was kind of making fun of Zelda . Do you remember playing that ? Well , in it you can go into this restaurant to get food . I think they even made it at McDonald's Maybe not , but the joke was you go and harvest meat like rotten flesh from somewhere and you take it to the restaurant and they buy it from you to make their burgers .
Speaker 1Oh my Sorry . E coli outbreak linked to McDonald's quarter pounders . One dead and 49 sickened . Whoa Yep , so , that's crazy . Whoa Yep so that's crazy .
Speaker 2All right , Tyler , we're moving on . No , we're not .
Speaker 1You're not done . I was going to say I like a good double quarter pounder but my actual favorite sandwich .
Speaker 2Oh sorry .
Speaker 1Real quick is a Crystal's Burger . Crystal's Burger Yep . If you're talking about wanting to get really unhealthy Crystal's Burger , crystals burger yeah . If you're talking about wanting to get really unhealthy crystals burger . My wife , um , and anytime I um eat crystals , she's like you have to gargle and brush your teeth three times before you kiss me because your breath , yeah , she gets so up like not I wouldn't say upset , but she's very like I can taste that stupid burger every time I kiss you after you eat it . That's funny . So , uh , by the way , just so you know , uh , when you're married , you can kiss your wife yeah , so uh , you can kiss them enough to where , apparently , you can taste , taste them .
Speaker 2So all right , tyler moving on all right , so we're gonna get into our candidates for the presidential election . We're in Georgia , so , on the Georgia ballot , you already know this because you already . No , no , you don't , never mind , I'm thinking of somebody else . So , anyways , dude , I can't believe I did that . I just mixed you up with Patrick . Shout out to Patrick . What's up , patrick , we love you .
Election Candidates and Local Politics
Speaker 2Um , so , anyways , the candidates on the ballot are donald trump , kamala harris . We all know those two no , you shouldn't .
Speaker 1You need to do like the full , like really professional , like their whole full name , like they do . Oh , but make it up , make up the middle name for each I don't know what kamala's middle and I don't know .
Speaker 2Just make something up , okay , all right , donald tobias , trump kamala what's a girl middle name ? It's funny if you uh tiffany kamala tiffany , it's got to be two Marianne Kamala , Tiffany Kamala Tiffany , Marianne Harris . And then there's four more candidates For Georgia that are on the Georgia ballot . There's Chase Oliver he's running Libertarian . There's Jill Stein she's running on the Green Ticket . And then there's two independents Claudia De La Cruz and Cornel West .
Speaker 1So no Bob Barr , no Bob Barr .
Speaker 2There is a write-in option , so if anyone wants to write in Joe Rogan or Harambe , that is an option as well .
Speaker 1Also Johnny , right . Here is also an option you can write in yeah , just do . Or just write Saints that Serve , just both of us , just Saints that Serve . We can co-lead , we can co-lead .
Speaker 2That's fine .
Speaker 1That's what I'm going to do . I'm going to write in the Saints that Serve Perfect .
Speaker 2So both of us , just we're both president and vice president , co-leaders . I love it , we're both .
Speaker 1We're both simultaneously the president and the vice president . That's right . Do you hold on ? I'm gonna get us off track a little bit , but just because it's still um , irrelevant to a jury , do you remember when we were going to run for the water commissioner and we never ended up doing that ? I wanted to so bad to do that , and the reason why I bring it up is that I saw , uh , that when looking at the list of possible candidates , like on the on the um voting ticket for Georgia , that that person is um . So the first time I saw it four years ago , there was just it was only write-in only yeah , and me and Johnny were going to do a live stream where we were going to debate each other to who would need to would be the water commissioner for our local area . Yeah and so , and that would have been hilarious . I would have loved to have done that , but then I saw that that actual role is now filled and uncontested yeah .
Speaker 2There's several of those on our ballot specifically for Cobb County . There's like so for State Senate , district 33 , there's only one guy on the ballot .
Speaker 1It's the guy who's already in the seat .
Speaker 2Yeah , for the tax commissioner for Cobb County . It's Carla Jackson and there's nobody else on the ticket . Are there any other ones ? For State House of the Representatives , district 38 , david Wilkerson . No one else .
Speaker 1So on any of those . When you go to vote , if you don't know who this person is , keep in mind . Write in Saints that Serve Yep For District .
Speaker 2Attorney Cobb , judicial Circuit Sonia F Allen . So it's like , there's like six , there's several positions Several positions that they're just going to get it because nobody , there's nobody else competing for it .
Speaker 1And that's another point to kind of prove that , like I think it kind of gets muddled in the whole larger presidential election , there is other things to be voting on . Yeah , there's so many positions that you could have a say so locally .
Speaker 2Yeah , that you could have a say-so locally . Yeah , and there's a couple of constitutional amendments that nobody knows about , and it's like you do . You need to know about this because some of these amendments are like no , we don't need that , that's just going to come up I'm sure Isn't there one that's like raise taxes for something or another .
Speaker 2So one provides for a statewide Georgia tax court , so it's another court that focuses on taxes for Georgia . Yeah , we need less taxes , we need less government . We don't need more government . That's where I stand . I hope that didn't give me away where I stand but I don't think we need more government , I mean , and your opinion is valid in that sense .
Speaker 1That's true . You know what ? Yeah , what you want is valid . Yeah , so those are the people . Do you have anybody else that you want to shout out on the ballot ?
Speaker 2No , no , I was just naming all the for our county specifically not to dox us or anything , but on our ballot there's several guys that are just they're incumbent and they're running uncontested .
Speaker 1So keep in mind we want to run the water and the taxes for our local county , so write us in .
Speaker 2And there is only one person on the ballot for Cobb County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor .
Speaker 1That's the one I was talking about . Yeah , so he's . Yeah , there's an incumbent there . So when we're around in four years or the next time we have a local election in four years or the next time we have a local election , whatever role is open , me and John are going to have a debate live stream on who , between the two of us , we think you should vote for in the write-in . I can't wait . I was so excited the last time we had that idea and it just never panned out where we had time to do a professional looking stage for a debate .
Speaker 2Yeah , so All right . So getting into the kind of the main two runners is like nobody knows any no one , really . I know that I personally didn't really know anything about the other , like like the libertarian and green party and the independents , you know , because , like the only independent that I knew about was Kennedy and he pulled out . Yeah so he's not on the Georgia door . He endorsed Trump , right ? I believe so . Yeah , he endorsed Donald Trump , but he didn't take his name off all the ballots , so it's like he stopped running .
Speaker 1Oh , he stopped . But what was it too late to remove himself from the ballot is what it was . I don't know .
Speaker 2I don't want to say what it was , because I really don't know why his name is still on the ballots .
Speaker 1Without any information . Our guess is that could not remove himself from the ballot , so he stopped endorsing himself . But he's still there .
Speaker 2I think hearsay he kept his name on the ballot as a way to combat the Democrats , because he's very much so against the Democratic Party . So I think that was his mindset behind it . Like let's reduce them getting votes Because there's a lot of people that they just will not vote for Donald Trump . It has nothing to do with parties or politics or anything .
Speaker 1They just strictly . I don't like the man , so I'm voting against him .
Speaker 2They don't want to vote for Donald Trump , but I've got the two main , kamala Harris and Donald Trump , their websites pulled up .
Speaker 1Kamala , marianne Tiffany Harris , marianne Tiffany Harris , sorry .
Speaker 2And then Donald , donald , tobias , tobias , trump . So I've got their websites pulled up and on the websites they have links to a PDF file that kind of talks over their plans . So we're going to link that in the show notes for people to look over if you want to look at what their official what they say is their official platform that they're running on for this election . So Donald Trump has 20 core promises and it's on his website . Like you go , you click on his website and it's on the main page , first thing you see . So I'm not going to read through them , but they're there and they're very Republican , their focus his focus .
Speaker 2If I had to summarize , it is getting the border under control , getting the economy in a positive out of the negative .
Speaker 1Negative out of the debt .
Speaker 2Yeah , try to bring more jobs back to America and give more money to working Americans . Um , and then , um , you know kind of the more conservative moral stances . One thing I do want to point out um , because they said this in the debate and and it's on not to like , I'm not pro Trump and I'm not pro kamala either way . Okay , but me as a third party individual who's just trying to figure out who to vote for , kamala harris's campaign has put it out there , she said it in the debate and it's on her website , that Trump is his agenda is what's called Project 2025 . Right , and nowhere on his website does it have anything to do with that . And he has . They have said his campaign is vocally outspoken , said that they're not doing that , but he's actually against .
Speaker 1Project 2025 .
Speaker 2Yeah and so . But Kamala's saying that he is and it's on our website . So anyone who goes to look her up , they're going to see Trump's Project 2025 agenda . And to me it's like okay , wait a minute . Is Trump lying to the public and behind closed doors , he's got this plan or he's on board with this plan ? Or is the Kamala , mary Ann , tiffany Harris campaign lying to the American people about her opponent ?
Speaker 2What I'm hearing is somebody's lying , somebody's lying , so that's all I have to say . What I'm hearing is somebody's lying , somebody's lying , so that's all I have to say . But , like when I pulled her website up to look over kind of what she has to say that she's for , she's got a list of things on here and the very bottom of her list is in . So all of that's in blue and then in red it says Trump's Project 2025 agenda . So she's pro Trump's 2025 agenda . Yeah , it's a drop , like . All her different things are drop down menus . It's a bottom of it's a drop down menu and then , okay , so it goes uh , build an opportunity economy and lower cost for families . And then it has a bunch of drop down menus and then trump's project 2025 agenda okay , and then safeguard our fundamental freedoms couple of drop down menus .
Speaker 2Trump's 2025 agenda drop down menu . Ensure safety and justice for all . Couple of drop downs at the bottom trump's project 20 wait , so each section has , at the bottom of it , trump's Project 2025 agenda , okay . So , yeah , I'm like , wait a minute . Why does she keep on not she why does her campaign keep on putting out there at the end of everything that they're saying , they're going to do ? They put out this rhetoric that and this is what Trump's going to do . When you go because we have the ability to just Google search when you go to Trump's website , it's not on there at all . Nowhere does it have a Project 2025 . In fact , he's got all of his core platform issues listed , just like her , and none of them have to do with that .
Speaker 1So which website ? I guess in your opinion ? I haven't been able to see it . You've got the computer , not me . No , which website is more clear on what the candidate has a stance on ?
Speaker 2Donald Trump's website is very clear on what he wants to do when he gets elected .
Speaker 1Okay .
Speaker 2Kamala Harris's website's better , like it's put together better , but and she's got a lot of things on her website that say , like we're going to do this and we're going to do that , but it's not really like this is what we want to do , but there's not really like a like a clear cut . This is how you do it like . I read a couple of things on the pdf file and basically what it was was like this is the issue and we're gonna solve it , and how we're gonna solve it is by getting more government involved in whatever the thing is . So I was , once again , not a big Trump guy , not a big Kamala Marianne Tiffany Harris guy , either way .
Speaker 2But there's one thing I do not want more of , and that's the government , right , um ? So you know I'm I'm not trying to dog anybody or anything . I'm just trying to live in peace and share my faith and just love people , like Christ tells me to love them . So that's what my goal is . But if I have to work like a dog every second of every day to be able to pay taxes , pay taxes , then you know it . It can . It can be hard to just live life when you're spending all your money that you need to feed your family with , on taxes . And so in my mind and this might just be me being ignorant and simple-minded , but in my mind the more government that there is , then that means the more taxes I have to pay to help fund , jack , fund all these government things . So to me , anytime that I hear anything about more government , I'm like I don't want that .
Speaker 1Uh , no , thank you . Click no on that vote box .
Speaker 2So that's my big thing , um , if I had to give a con for donald trump um he's a right nasty man .
Speaker 2I would say , yeah , his delivery he can get kind of um , not kind of he can . The way that he chooses to talk about people not great , not what you really look for in a leader . So I am very like that's one of the reasons I'm not a big Trump guys , because it's like , listen , like you know , when I look at leadership in the Bible , like I look at it's people I want to look up to , I don't really look up to him , no , so that's my big thing with him . However , when it comes to policy , I would say that I am more aligned with the Republican Party , not on everything , but I swing more that way . And the biggest thing and everyone's going to call me a one-issue voter on this but the Democratic Party is very pro-choice and I am 100% anti-abortion .
Speaker 2As most Christians should be Are supposed to be Correct . God has— Not most . All . All Christians should be against terminating the life of a human being .
Controversy Over Abortion and Political Rhetoric
Speaker 2So you know people like to get into the minutia of like well , what if it's ?
Speaker 1Yeah , very specific details and specific situations . As a whole , as Christians , we should be anti-abortion .
Speaker 2Correct and all those details or all those scenarios . They actually account for a very small minority of documented abortions that are happening now in the United States . So to me , you don't get to bring those things up if they're not relevant .
Speaker 1And they're not relevant because most abortions that are happening are happening out of preference to the mother and has nothing to do , not out of health and safety , not out of health and safety , not out of an attack of some kind , it's just I slipped up , I messed up , I did something I shouldn't have done , I wasn't prepared for , and this is my choice , my body , my choice , and I am out here taking the life of something , of a person because I'm not prepared for the consequences of my actions .
Speaker 2Yeah , in their defense , most of them do not consider they're taking the life of a person . They have bought into the ideology of the secularism of our country , saying that it is not human until it has been born and it's viable on its own . Even though a baby's not viable on its own , it needs its mother for years . Um , but until until it has been birthed . Um , it is just , they say , clump of cells , it's just something inside you . Some people like to get really graphic and say it's a parasite and it's like what the heck ?
Speaker 1Right , you can be fined up to $50,000 if you crush a turtle egg or a bird egg of some like a rare bird egg .
Speaker 2Yeah , Most states if you kill A pregnant woman and the baby dies as well , you will get charged with a double homicide . But yet , you know , when they did the Roe v Wade thing , it was like , well , now you got to make all abortions legal for people .
Speaker 1And again , and that's , if I'm not mistaken , when they put the choice of abortion back to the states , undoing Roe v Wade right . Correct , that's all that was was allowing the states to decide , not , not the federal government , not the federal government . We want less government .
Speaker 2Correct Less government and overturning Roe v Wade . All it did was made it 100% . The states . The states get to decide what they're going to do on this particular issue . So I watched the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and if I didn't know anything about anything , it would be , and I just took what she said at face value . Kamala Harris , donald Trump wants to take all , wants to get into the clinical examination room with these pregnant women and their doctors and take away their fundamental rights of healthcare is the way that it's worded .
Speaker 1What about the fundamental right to life ? For an unborn human .
Speaker 2Exactly , it is a human being that is in there and at the moment of conception it is a human being . People like to argue about whatever , whatever , whatever the reality is , there's an all-powerful God who creates life and when he puts life inside of the womb of a mother , it is his image , because he says that in Genesis , chapter one , he has created man in his own image . So all human life is the image bearer of God . And killing a baby inside the womb because of because it's inconvenient for you to have them , is a mockery and an insult to God . And it is and this is me getting .
Speaker 2You're gonna be like , oh , you're just super conspiratorial Christian nut . And the reality is our society is fully engaged in the baby sacrificing worship of these old Eastern God deities that , in order for you to worship them , to get their blessings , you had to offer your children up to them and pass their , your children , through the fire . Um . So you know , when we talk about things like um , kemosh and balak and these different deities and people are like what the heck is that ? I don't even know what that is .
Speaker 2I was like yeah well , that's because they go by a different name now , and in america it's plain parenth . That's really what it is People who take the lives of babies . They're doing it as a ritualistic worship to whatever they claim is their God , and they may be in denial of it , they may deny it to your face , but truly , truly , truly , truly . We are worshiping um baby eating demons . That's what we're doing , and not what I'm personally doing . Not what I'm personally doing , but as a , as a society , right ? If we condone abortion , we are condoning the worship of demonic forces that like slaughtering the image of God in baby form , and so I am 100% against that . And I got very graphic about it because I needed to be emphatically clear . I do not agree with abortion of human life whatsoever . I think it is demonic .
Speaker 2So Kamala Harris has decided to make that a key platform that she's running on . So just to make it clear for everyone , if you weren't sure , I'm not voting for Kamala Harris because of that . So whether or not I vote for Donald Trump or one of these other um libertarian or third party options , you know , uh , I'll decide that . But because the democratic party has decided to make pro abortion a top issue , it has , um , made it clear to me that I cannot vote for them . So , um , but , but yeah , all the rest of her stuff , like that's one of the few things that's clear , like that's what she wants to do , everything else is pretty vague like it's kind of like a word salad like she does when she gets up .
Speaker 2Yeah , like I do I when I was reading her website . Either I'm just really simple and I just don't understand . When I was reading her website , either I'm just really simple and I just don't understand the way that they're wording it . The problem with that ?
Speaker 1is if you are appealing to the population as a whole , why make it difficult to read If you actually have something in there that means something ?
Speaker 2Well , and here's the other thing anything that she says or posts on her website automatically brings her under the spotlight for scrutiny . To say so , why haven't you ?
Speaker 2because she's your vice president you've been in office and you have been silent and you haven't been doing anything that we know of . I mean , I could be could be wrong , maybe I'm wrong . I'm willing to be corrected on that , but I haven't heard anything that she's done . I heard that she was supposed to be in charge of the southern border and that's kind of gotten out of control .
Speaker 1What was it in her interview where it's like have you been to the border ? No and I've never been to Europe . What's your point ? Like border no and I've never been to europe , what's your ? What's your point like ? What your point is is you're the border czar . Why haven't you gone down to the border ?
Speaker 2yeah , I don't get . I'm not too crazy into this stuff , um , so I just wanted to make it clear , like my biggest thing is I don't , I don't know what she's doing , because I haven't really what little bit of stuff I've looked into for her . I don't , it's not clear what she's doing .
Speaker 1Right and you've made up your mind because of the abortions already , because of the abortion stance .
Speaker 2I really don't want . I really am not going to vote for the Democratic nominee because it's I don't want to make it like it's just Kamala Harris it is the Democratic party , specifically , has decided to be pro-abortion Right , so that's my main reason why I'm not voting Democrat . A thing that was concerning that I saw the other day .
Speaker 1I don't know if it's edited or whatever , so I know what you're bringing up .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1We have another angle on it . For all intents and purposes , I believe this is real . Yeah , so she was at a rally , and I want to bring this up too , because I watched something today about it . But continue .
Speaker 2Well , I think she was talking about that . She was talking about abortion . And someone in the crowd says Christ is Lord or Jesus is Lord and the kingdom is now , yeah , something along those lines . It was us , it was us no . But they point out Christ is Lord and then her response is you're at the wrong alley or you're at the wrong rally . I was like , why would you even say that ? Right , a Christian's not allowed to be at your .
Speaker 1Essentially , if what she said is pretty easy to interpret this the way , because it was very blatant , it wasn't a mumble she very directly said after they said in the crowd Jesus is Lord . Yeah , she said you're at the wrong rally . Yeah , Essentially saying Christians are not welcome at my rallies .
Speaker 2Yeah yeah , essentially saying Christians are not welcome at my rallies . Yeah yeah , not necessarily saying that , but like implying , like if you're a Christian you should be at the Donald .
Speaker 1Trump Sure Next words were you need to be at that other smaller rally down the street ?
Speaker 1Yeah , insulting and saying you don't belong here , yeah you don't belong here , yeah , and you need to go down to the other rally , which the video I was watching essentially said yeah , you like , as you said , you don't have to specifically support Donald Trump . Yeah , but as Christians , with the things that the democratic party supports and what they want to vote in , we should not , as Christians , be voting for the Democratic Party . We are not welcome . It's apparent we are not welcome , and they support the views and ideology of things that oppose us as Christians . Yeah , so as Christians , we , if she doesn't support us , doesn't represent us . We don't need to support her . Now , like you said , there are other options besides Donald Trump If you don't like him . Yeah , but I implore you , if you are only not voting for Trump because you don't like the man , because he's a nasty man , to look into what he actually is going to do . Yeah , don't vote .
Speaker 2If you are looking at other options , look at what he is going to do for you , not the mean things he said yeah , yeah , look what he's gonna do for you and look at what he's gonna do for gondola , for gondola no , uh , but yeah to okay , and conspiracy side of me , right , who looks into all this stuff and doesn't really know how much of its actual like solid meaty substance , kamala harris , is linked into this whole hurricane targeting oh yeah , what we talked about a couple weeks ago yeah we talked about which .
Speaker 2I apologize everybody that I haven't put my notes out about that . I'm still they'll be there . I work , I work full time and do the podcast on the side . So give me some some grace and I'll try to get together those notes about the different things with the whole mining lithium and the grants and all that stuff
Government Corruption and Natural Disasters
Speaker 2. But allegedly her husband , kamala Marianne Tiffany Harris's husband .
Speaker 1Which name is ? Bob Tiffany , marianne Harrisne , harris ? Yeah , I , yeah , I don't know anything about him .
Speaker 2It's crazy they share very similar names . He has he has um financial investment in this company . Oh , the company that that's not gonna that's mine mm-hmm .
Speaker 2so to me it's like okay , if her federal government approved the mining of lithium in Western North Carolina and then the government moved a storm to hit the exact area where they want to mine that lithium to clear people out , um then it to me and this is just me being very biased about it , not not that I'm pro , not saying like I'm pro trump , I'm just saying this is me saying I do not like her and her campaign and her government , if she's the one who is directly responsible for the killing of hundreds of Americans , because that storm killed hundreds of Americans . Oh for profit .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , Solely in a company that she has some form stake in and you know you could say like , well , they didn't mean to kill anybody , they just wanted to , you know , clear them out . It's like what ?
Speaker 1Well , whether okay .
Speaker 2If you destroy properties by flooding , there will be casualties .
Speaker 1The question is Making the decision to move that storm this is true allegedly , allegedly is condemning people , no matter what , whether they oh , I didn't intentionally kill them . I gave them an opportunity to leave . All that . No , you directed a storm .
Speaker 2Well , but that's the thing . The people in north carolina did not have time to leave . Oh , that , that's right , because it got redirected . It redirected and there wasn't a heads up like , hey , the storm's coming , your way , you might want to move , and it's the mountains of North Carolina . They don't have flood insurance because they don't have floods , because they're in the mountains . They're in the mountains , and so it's like , even if there was a hurricane that blew in from the East Coast and hit the Carolinas , so it's like even if there was a hurricane that blew in from the East Coast and hit the Carolinas , the people in Western North Carolina are not going to pack up their homes and leave , because it just doesn't happen .
Speaker 1I think the last time that they had a flood in that area was 100 years ago . I was about to ask how many times have they in recent history , been hit by a hurricane in general ?
Speaker 2Well , and that's not just that it was a hurricane , it just a flood that , like , caused a lot of damage in that area , was a hundred years , a hundred years ago . So , um , but this one was , they already had a lot of water going on and then they got hit with the hurricane and it just decimated . Yeah , I mean , ashville is in shambles and there's still here we are . What are we on ? Week three now after the hurricane ? Three or four , and they're still looking for people . Jeez , we still don't have a tally of how many people have actually , like , died from the storm , because they're still trying to find people . So , um , yeah , yeah , it is very painful as an American to see that and then just see all the coincidences revolving around it with the approval of mining lithium and trying to get that ball rolling and it's like , okay , are they already up there trying to mine the lithium Not that I know of ?
Speaker 1I don't know . I was gonna say it'd be real crazy if they're up there like people are missing , and they're up there like all right , get your pickaxes .
Speaker 2Yeah yeah , I don't know , um , if they've started it . I just know that the process has begun to like get a mine up and running . Um , so this is all hearsay , it's allegedly . Maybe we have no idea how to control storms , maybe the federal government is not involved in any way , um , but there's just a lot of coincidences revolving around the desolation , sorry , the decimation , of American communities , plural communities , and deaths of Americans on American soil . And if the federal government steered that storm for the sole intention of clearing an area out of population For profit ?
Speaker 2an area out of population for profit , for profit , to mine for their , their green deal agenda , to make a greener earth using electric vehicles and batteries and stuff make the earth more green by clearing out the meat bags yeah , um , but you know we're under I mean , if , if it's true we're under a tyrannical government because they don't care about the lives of their citizens , if they're willing to kill them to set up a mine for the 1% .
Speaker 1Well , we'll say this now , like even if , let's say , you know we have more like evidential evidence showing that it seems like they don't care as a government , like why would you allow just wide open borders bringing in so many people when we're already struggling and you're letting more people in adding to the stress on the country ?
Speaker 2And it's not being talked about at all Wildfires in Wyoming , totally destroying that area that it's in . I don't even know anything about it because I can't find anything about it , but I know that it's happening and the government is not talking about it or dealing with it . Social media is not talking about it and the news , traditional media , is not talking about it , but it's happening , so we come back around
Government Leadership and Servant Leadership
Speaker 2to it . It's like why are americans being left out to dry and dying in droves and their lives being upended and and destroyed ? Uh , and our who's , in the middle of an election cycle , has an opportunity . I mean , this is an opportunity for our current vice president to shine in office and she's not taking it . And the question is why ? Why isn't she taking it ?
Speaker 1Even better , we have a current president as well .
Speaker 2We have a current president and yeah , it's like why isn't it ? I mean , we have a current president as well . We have a current president and yeah , it's like why isn't it ?
Speaker 2I mean , you know we've heard things about him helping out or talking with Ron DeSantis in Florida about their you know , hurricane relief efforts and stuff , but why isn't the government putting resources and time and effort into finding lost Americans in North Carolina ? Why aren't they doing that ? Why is FEMA out of money ? Why is FEMA out of money ? Yeah , and why ? Here's another thing they send a bunch of FEMA people to North Carolina to help with the effort . They're not really helping , but they're all in the hotels that are in that area . And so now these people that have lost their houses , they have nowhere to go because the hotels are already booked up with people there to help FEMA people .
Speaker 2Yeah , and so Point on call help , yeah . So we kind of left the candidates there for a minute to talk about that .
Speaker 1Yeah , sorry , but I mean that's kind of part of it , right . That's where my heart is right now .
Speaker 2Yeah , sorry , but I mean that's kind of part of it , right no-transcript doing .
Speaker 1they're doing minimal if anything , I mean going on both sides . I mean trump is out there flipping literally flipping burgers to promote himself .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , you know , and he did go before . You know , he did go and check it out and talked about it and tried to promote like , hey , this is what's happening , or whatever . But yeah , you're right , he's moved on , he's whatever the next news cycle is , he's doing that and he's not . He's not talking like he has an opportunity to bring it up in his campaign , like , hey , you know , his moment to shine is , hey , I'm not president right now and here I , but if I was , we'd be , we'd be done with the rescue efforts in north carolina . He should , honestly , but he's not saying anything .
Speaker 2No , he should stop , stopped everything he was doing and gone and helped and still been there helping um , I don't know if I agree with that , that like he should be on on the ground , like doing stuff , but you know he does have to go around and campaign . But while he's campaigning , why isn't he checking in , why isn't he bringing it up ? And and you know he could be , um , like what we did , he could share how people can help , you know , because if the government's not helping them , we need to band together as citizens to help . So he could be promoting that end of it Like hey , since our government tax dollars aren't going to it , here's where you can go to help these people out , um , and I to it , here's where you can go to help these people out . And I'm not seeing a whole lot of that . So I would like to see more of that from him . And I'm not seeing any of that from Kamala Harris . So she needs to step up if she wants to be president .
Speaker 1She needs to step up and help prove that she is what she's claiming she's going to do for this country . Yeah , Yep . Because she's there she's going to do for this country .
Speaker 2Yeah , yep , because she's there now , what is she doing Exactly ? So we're going to go into the second half of this . We've talked about the candidates We've given you know . This is they've listed what their platforms are running for and we will link the PDF files in the show notes for this episode . So if you want to go and read through them and review them before you go on election day to vote , they'll be in the show notes and you can pull them up and check them out and see what their plans are , both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump . But getting into the Bible , what does the Bible say about leadership ?
Speaker 1What do you think , not the stuff either candidate is currently doing .
Speaker 2Yeah , so I am going to pull up in my King James Version Bible .
Speaker 2What does it say ? What doeth it say to thee ? Yeah , so I'm going to go to Mark 10 . And I'm not going to read the full story I encourage you to if you have the opportunity to but it's Mark , chapter 10 , 35 through 45 . And basically what's happening is two of Jesus's disciples , brother , the sons of Zebedee , john and James , are coming to Christ and asking can we be set at your right hand and at your left ? And you know , jesus is like can you take the cup that I'm going to drink from ? Can you be baptized under my baptism ? And basically like can you handle what I have to handle ? And they're like yeah , we can . And Jesus is like you say you can and in fact you will for my name's sake . But it is not for me to decide who sits at my right and who sits at my left , but the Lord , like the father .
Speaker 2And then the other disciples get upset that the two disciples asked Jesus to be set above them . And Jesus goes into this spill , starting in verse 42 . But Jesus called them to him and saith unto them . Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them and their great ones exercise authority upon them . But so shall it not be among you . But whosoever would be great among you shall be your minister , and whosoever of you would be the chiefest shall be servant of all . For even the son of man came not to be ministered unto , but to minister and to give his life a ransom . For many now , that word minister can also be translated as servant or serve . So you could say , for the son of man did not come to be served but to serve um . So that is a direct example of biblical leadership .
Speaker 2You do not set yourself up over people and lord over them and demand of them and force upon them your will . That's what the world does , but Christ calls us to live as he lives , and Christ is the king . He is the king over all creation . Christ is Lord , christ is Lord and the kingdom is now . But he makes the point like I'm God , like I'm over all of this , but I'm down here on earth humbly serving the least of humanity because of my love for you . And so when you believe in me , you are called to that standard , not to elevate yourself and set yourself above others . You are called to set yourself beneath and humbly serve others and potentially be willing to lay down your life for the sake of others , and you do this in love , and that's what you're called to do , because Christ did all these things , for because of his love , for his creation , because we all I mean you and I both agree we're sinners .
Speaker 2Everybody is All have fallen short of the glory of God . No one is righteous , no , not one . And so we need someone to save us . We can't save ourselves , and Jesus makes it clear he someone to save us . We can't save ourselves , and Jesus makes it clear . He came to save us . He came to deliver us from our sins and rescue us from the final judgment . That is , for everyone who does not believe . And Jesus says believe in me , follow me , love me as I have loved you , and you will be with me in heaven and you will be in the throne room of God and you will live forever with us in total , perfect unity and love . And so all we have to do is believe . We don't . There's not 10 steps , there's not different levels of attaining , it's just believing in Christ and trusting in that salvation . So that's kind of the big takeaway for servant leadership , for leadership . Biblical leadership is a servant to all , in humility , for the sake of loving others as Christ has loved us of loving others as Christ has loved us .
Speaker 1And the question is in all our options for a leader in this country , do we see those traits in them ? Correct ?
Speaker 2Yeah , so I did want to bring that up . Who do you see that in ? Who do you see a humble servant as a leader ?
Speaker 1Honestly , it's neither Like full traits and I guess look for those traits as best you can at this point in stage and these options .
Speaker 2It is important to bring that . It is important to bring that up . As Christians , we can't . We can't vote on . It sounds awful . If you have the ability to vote on somebody for their character , do so .
Speaker 2If they have good character , vote for them . But unfortunately , we're really kind of stuck in voting for policy what are the policies that we want ? That's really what we're voting for of stuck in voting for policy Like , what are the policies that we want ? That's really what we're voting for now , because the corruption of our country has become so rampant and so bad that it's not about picking the best person , it's about picking the lesser of two evils . And really that's how it's always been , because , you know , every president that's been in the United States is human . They're not perfect , they're not righteous , they're not holy . They are sinners who are in need of a savior , and I think some of them , throughout history , have embraced the righteousness of Christ in their life and are believers and seek the Lord .
Speaker 2I can't , I can't tell you if either of the main candidates that are running are devout . I don't really know , because the fruit well one . I don't know them . So that's . That is another big thing I wanted to bring up . I can't tell you by their character . From what I've seen , I could not tell you if they are a believer .
Speaker 2Um , you know , the biggest sign for me is if you believe , uh , if you condone abortion , that tells me you do not have Christ in your life , because Christ makes it clear that it is better for someone to have a millstone tied around their neck and thrown into the sea than to lead astray these little ones . He's talking about children to his disciples . He's like hey , children are valued and they are loved , and it's not going to go well for anyone who leads astray or discards kids , because God has a place in his heart for children . And so if you abuse and attack children , then there's some serious problems coming your way , unless you repent . So that's my big thing . Democratic party .
Speaker 2If you're pro-abortion , I'm gonna question the
Seeking God's Presence for Leadership
Speaker 2uh . If , if you are serving christ as lord um solely because of that , because you're okay with killing the image of god um in the womb , so , and that doesn't really line up with the morality of Christ , and that goes for a lot of things . I mean , if you're okay with sex out of marriage , if you're okay with it , you don't think it's wrong , then there's a heart issue in your life and you need to get that corrected , because God makes it clear that that practice is set apart for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman . So if you condone that and you're okay with that , then you're distorting the covenant that God has set down and you have a problem with God being the authority in your life and you know what there's grace . You can repent of that and you can be forgiven of that and God will love you and embrace you , for you know , even though you've been a sinner , he will still love and embrace you .
Speaker 1We are sinners but we are also under that grace that we are allowed to come back from anything we have done .
Speaker 2There is no amount of sin that locks you out of heaven . There's only the yeah .
Speaker 1I was going to say your choice to reject God .
Speaker 2Exactly , exactly . If you're a sinner , god's waiting for you . He wants you to come to him and he wants to forgive you of all your sins and he wants to lift you up in perfect love and be in his presence . He wants to set you and establish you with a group of God-fearing brothers and sisters who love you and want to lead you closer to God and want to help you rise up above that sin . Don't believe the lie of the enemy that I'm too dirty to come to the Father . That's not true . That's a lie . There's no such thing as someone who is too dirty or too sinful to be forgiven .
Speaker 1What's even better is yes , you are too dirty , but he still accepts you .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , yeah , okay .
Speaker 1Another verse that I really liked um not to contradict you on that no , you're right there .
Speaker 2If we're really gonna be honest about it , we are all awful , but god still loves us and his grace is still there for us . So 1 Chronicles , 16 , 11 , seek the Lord and his strength , seek his presence continually . To me that's a powerful verse , especially if you're a leader , who better to take leadership , direction and advice from that the creator of the universe , who is over all things ? Um ? So , seeking the lord and seeking god's strength and his presence continually , you will succeed as a leader . Um , I don't really know if , if our candidate , candidate options , are doing that , um , solely because of the lack of god's presence in their rhetoric . So that's just . I mean , I know for me and the day-to-day , like when I'm walking around talking to people or interacting with people , christ is brought up . Eventually , like at some point in the conversation , I make the point to say , or I make it clear hey , I don't live for the world , I live for the kingdom , because I love Jesus and he loves me . I just got a big old yawn , yawn .
Speaker 1Oh , somebody's a tired boy .
Speaker 2Somebody's a sleepy boy . But yeah , I've got a couple other verses . They'll be posted in the show notes . Kind of look at a good one's Joshua 118 . This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth , but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it , for then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success . So talking about the context of that verse is Joshua is the leader of Israel .
Speaker 2They're about to go into the promised land and God has closed out the books of Moses , or the law of Moses , or the law of Moses , and said to Joshua this is the law of God , take this and be in it continually so that things will go well for you . So what we can take from that today , in our time and age , we've got the word of God , we've got the words of life . They're in the Bible , they are the Bible . We've got that If we take this advice and we apply it to God's word , things will go well for us .
Speaker 2I'm not preaching prosperity , gospel , I'm just saying our mind will be fixed on that eternal glory and everything else that's going on in our lives . It won't be that big . It'll be very small in comparison to eternity and we'll be able to focus and we'll be able to have that joy and we'll be able to live in that love because we know who God is , because of his perfect word . So , as a leader , you need to be in God's word regularly , you need to be meditating on God's word , you need to understand what it is to love one another and you're not going to be able to get that unless you are in God's word . Then you'll start to understand the love of God . So , yeah , that's what I've got . That's kind of the end of that segment for leadership Talked about the candidates kind of talked about , kind of where we're at right now .
Native American Legend
Speaker 1And we talked about what the candidate , what we should look for in a candidate , going forward .
Speaker 2Correct , moving forward . Look for somebody who is going to be humble , who's going to be seeking the Lord first and making it clear that they are seeking the Lord , and who's all about love , the love of Christ . So , whoever that candidate is , go for that guy . Mm-hmm , you know .
Speaker 1Or girl I was about to say not to be sexist or gal as long as they have those traits , there's nothing wrong with having a female leader .
Speaker 2Yeah , yep , yep , yep , yep , yep . All right , we're coming , we're winding down now .
Speaker 1So we're going down now , so we're gonna come back . We uh , we left . We left it for a little while . By the way , this is our tyler transition tyler we are transitioning .
Speaker 2We are moving out of that topic and into this topic don't want to get right strike Singing over the song , anyways .
Speaker 1So we , you know , we left a certain part of the room , we left a corner of the room for a couple of weeks .
Speaker 2Why do I sound ?
Speaker 1weird . Why do you sound weird Testing ? Okay , I'm back to normal I sounded weird . To normal , that sounded weird , hmm , oh so , anyways . So you know , we left the corner to go to our internet corner , our internet corner , yep , our , you know , our creepy pasta corner . But we're going to head back to our cryptic corner . Cryptic corner as we were out of the spooky season , because we are out of the spooky season .
Speaker 2We're out of the spooky season . We're back to the day to day .
Speaker 1Is this it right here ? I'm pointing at this corner right here . Is this the cryptic corner ? Yep , if that's what I thought .
Speaker 2And you guys will find out about that .
Speaker 1Tomorrow For the first time , seeing the set , that's right .
Speaker 2And it will be more complete than it is right now .
Speaker 1You better get on that . Yeah , yeah , for real . Anyways , what do you know about dinosaurs ? Well , nothing , nothing at all .
Speaker 2What do you know about First nations peoples ? First nations peoples otherwise known as native americans or indigenous people or indians . What do you know about them ?
Speaker 1I know that they are the subject of this week's cryptid corner and I'm going to guess , based off of what you're saying we are going to be talking about a creature that is dinosaur-like with the indigenous people . We're talking about the Thunderbird .
Speaker 2The Thunderbird , that's right . So a lot of Okay , historically speaking . It looks like on the totem poles and on the rocks that they ride on and stuff . It looks like a giant bird . It's got a beak , it's got the wings like feathery looking wings . That's how it's depicted . So it's like , okay , it's just a massive bird . So is it a pterodactyl ? So it's like , okay , it's just a massive bird . So is it a pterodactyl ? Not a pterodactyl , it's the other one , the pterodon , something like that . It looks like a pterodactyl but it's bigger .
Speaker 1Get your son . He loves dinosaurs . Yeah , for real .
Speaker 2Now we got to look it up Um , but anyways . So that that's allegedly what people think Um is . It's this , it's this prehistoric creature from um the past that somehow survived in the survived in North America .
Speaker 1Not necessarily the Jurassic era , no , or the crustaceous period , but dinosaur times , correct .
Speaker 2Yeah , the Pterodon Pteranodon .
Speaker 1I love how we're pronouncing the P's .
Speaker 2A pterodon , anyways . So anyways , giant flying dinosaur . Indians said it was their giant bird , they called it the Thunderbird and they looked at it almost in a deifying way , a deifying way Making it godlike they worship it as their deity .
Speaker 2In the 1800s , in the same town where the OK Corral happened , the shootout right Tombstone . Tombstone is a group of cowboys who claim to have shot down a giant bird and it made it into the tombstone . I think it's called the Gazette is what it is Um , but they uh , yeah , shot down a giant bird . They said it was kind of like leathery wings , um , super long , wingspan , massive , uh , and so that kind of dinosaur , like a dinosaur . So it was never verified . They could not verify
Thunderbird Sightings and UFO Encounters
Speaker 2it . Allegedly there was a picture that they took of it in the 1800s . You know , like that's a really old . It takes like five minutes to take one picture , um , and even longer to get it developed , yeah , months .
Speaker 1The picture was never found and so it's just more word of mouth .
Speaker 2Oh , we had a picture yeah , we've got a picture , but it never got , it never got published in the paper and no one has found it , so so it's kind of just allegedly , they shot down a giant bird that looks like a pterodon . Now , that's then .
Speaker 1And now ? So they shot it down . So what we're saying now is there's multiple and we have one today .
Speaker 2So there are several videos that have come out kind of more in the 2000, . Between 2013 , 2016 timeframe . There's like two to three videos that people took while they were hiking in you know out West , kind of like , uh , colorado , utah , that area Um , they're hiking in the mountains and they see something flying and they take a video and you know the thing turns its head just the right way and you see that it's got a beak , but it's also got something shooting out the backside of its head and this thing's massive . I mean , when you look at it on you know camera , like the way it looks on a camera , and the way it looks in real life . The sizes are two different things , right , but this is very clearly a very large bird from the shot that they're getting , how large is large ? How large is large ? I'm trying to think of what scale I could give .
Speaker 1How many pennies stacked on each other ?
Speaker 2One trillion pennies . To me , when I watched the videos , it was the equivalent of like two bald eagles Okay , a bald eagle's wingspan and body . Like slap two of those bad boys together and you get whatever this was .
Speaker 2So not really quite the size of like an actual large dinosaur , but a very large bird All the same dinosaur , not by a very large bird , a all the same larger than any bird that we've got today documented documented . So it was . It was large and it did have that protrusion coming out of the backside of its head and so the question is is it , are the videos staged or are they real ? So that's really the big thing . But people have been seeing these Thunderbirds in more recent years in Western North America and there's historical legends that they existed and we've got documentation that they were in North America at some point , because we've got bones and we've got we've got documentation that they were in north america at some point , because we've got bones and we've got fossils . So they were here at one point , um , and apparently they're here again . So that's kind of thunderbird , nothing too crazy .
Speaker 1There's not like abductions and spooky so it's just this like unobtainable creature that past people have seen but we don't see . But there might be evidence that it exists .
Speaker 2If the videos are real , then there's at least one that is flying around in North America Out .
Speaker 1West . What I find like kind of funny in this and this isn't me like judging one way or another on it , it's just funny to me it's like , yeah , we saw them all the time in ancient times and now we see something , but it's always just it's tail or a quick little feather and you know that kind of thing , or it's very blurry images .
Speaker 2Yeah yeah , um , you know that kind of thing . Or it's very blurry images , yeah yeah . So , yeah , I don't know what to make of it . You know , the videos are very short and , of course , they're iPhone videos , so they're not like super stable . What are you trying to say ? I'm trying to say it's like when I was trying to take a picture of that laser . They're shooting through the sky .
Speaker 1Oh yeah .
Speaker 2That thing , that didn't actually happen .
Speaker 1Oh , my god , dude , that , truly , truly , truly that experience . Tell that story , because I am messing with you .
Speaker 2I will in a second , but that experience is the sole reason that I am open to extraterrestrial life . I think they're demonic , but I'm still saying it's still the idea of what we call aliens . I'm open to it now solely because of that experience that I had .
Speaker 1And also with you trying to take a quick photo of it , is also why you are saying you believe that these images could be shaky and blurry with today's technology .
Speaker 2I'm more skeptical of clear images and clear videos than I am of the shaky stuff . To me , if it's really shaky and you barely make out whatever it is and it's kind of blurry , that's a real reaction because you , you're , you're panicking or you're super excited and you're just trying to make something happen . Um , but you're not doing that great . If it's a really clear shot , to me it's like okay , that's staged . No one's that calm when something this crazy happens . So , um , so , tell your story . So my wife and I were putting we were my family has property and we were doing a celebration and we were winding down for the night . So it was dark outside . I think it was like , probably around like nine or 10 o'clock at night . Stars are out , it's beautiful Clear sky , clear sky . Stars are out . It's beautiful Clear sky , clear sky . Stars are out .
Speaker 2We are walking to the car to put kids in the car and she says , wow , look at that green light in the sky . And to me I'm Lincoln , like , oh , like you know , it's a plane or it's a reflection of something , or whatever . I look up and it is too , and it is too like the way I explain it is , if you ever watch Star Wars , whenever there's a space battle and there's two big cruisers that are shooting at each other , it's those lines , beams of lights that are the shots from their canons or whatever . That's what it looked like . It was two beams of green light that were just shooting through the sky . They it wasn't a continuous , continuous thing , it had a front and a back and it was just a beam like a green pole look like , and it was just shooting through the sky . It was far off , way higher than any plane would be flying . Um , but it was just . I'm sorry , sorry , let me back up a little bit . It was not just two beams , it was streams of beams .
Speaker 1So it's like , you know , like , uh , five rounds of shots okay , so like a pulsating laser across a bar , yeah , yeah , and two of them side by side , moving very quickly across the sky very quickly across the sky , um , and so it looks like something like shot , like you know what I mean .
Speaker 2So it was like several shots side by side going shooting across the sky , and we were like my wife and I were like freaking out in the moment . We're like what ?
Speaker 1the you . You whipped out your phone . You tried to get video .
Speaker 2Yeah , I was holding a kid and trying to get my phone out to take a picture , and the stupid iphone was trying to get the flash going and it was like sitting in one spot for a long time to capture whatever . But by that moment the the light had already passed , and so I was trying to move it to follow the light . It was just , it wasn't a good . It wasn't a good , it wasn't a good picture . That's what I'm trying to get at .
Speaker 1What's funny is what I remember is I was there that night and everybody was still chilling in the living room and y'all bust back in like y'all need to come see this , yeah , and we all went outside and there was nothing there and it was gone .
Speaker 2It was gone by the time that we got unquote gone , by the time that we got back inside and told everybody and everyone came outside there was nothing , it had moved on , whatever it was . So you know , we kind of looked into it a little bit and my wife's convinced that it's Starlink . I'm not . So people have said , like you can see Starlink from Earth . Sometimes it passes by and you can see it , and this is what it looks like . And I looked at all the videos , I looked at all the pictures from earth . Sometimes it passes by and you can see it , and this is what it looks like and I look at , I looked at all the videos , I looked at all the pictures . Dude , it looked nothing like what I saw , looked nothing like what I saw . My wife , I guess because I don't know to her that convinced her like , okay , we saw starlink , but to me I'm not convinced .
Speaker 1I don't think I saw star , like I saw something else so this is the invitation to our listeners um , bring uh proof . Uh , bring us proof and prove john wrong .
Speaker 1Yeah , this is starlink I don't even know if I still have the picture I'm now I'm gonna did that picture magically get deleted from your phone that would be funny if it did yeah , that's something I've seen in a lot of the conspiracy videos is like , if somebody does have proof , uh , the picture , like , let's say , bigfoot , just magically gets deleted from their phone . I had proof , but the government hacked my phone and deleted my one image did that happen this year , or was that ?
Speaker 1last year . I remember listening to it on that podcast . This year I don't know if it actually happened this year , but they talked about it on the podcast me and you listened to . Uh , talked about what ? Uh , bigfoot and the picture . The guy had a picture of bigfoot , oh , and then he , but magically back in the day before smartphones , the picture on , like his flip phone , disappeared oh the government hacked his non-smartphone and deleted the picture , I think it was last because it was around 4th of July .
Speaker 2I think it was last year .
Speaker 1Oh , you're sorry , You're talking about your thing . Yeah , yeah , it was this year . Yeah , cause you weren't married , yet that's right .
Speaker 2All right , let me see if I can see , if I can find this thing we need Really , actually we need to wind down . No , no , find this picture . Let me find this picture so that everyone who's listening and not watching .
Speaker 1Listening . We can show them this picture . Yeah yeah , we'll just find it later We'll post it . Okay , we got to move on though .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , I'll try and find it . If I can find it , I will post it and let everyone see the chaos that we saw .

And so we were leaving the library and they had a poster up for , um , it was for a book club . Yep , and my wife looks at that picture and says , oh , do you think the author is going to be there ? And looking at the picture , I look at the . I look back at her and I say baby , that's all I say . I said , looking at the picture , baby , she's like what .
