00:00:00.700 1,000 episodes of Relatable. We've got a really fun episode for you today. We are going to talk

00:00:09.380 to the Relatable team. We're going to take a trip down memory lane. We are also going to listen to

00:00:14.240 some amazing voicemails. You've got to stick around for that. They're so encouraging, just

00:00:19.780 incredible. But also we've got some fun would-you-rathers and a few more questions about

00:00:26.000 dinosaurs on today's 1,000th episode of Relatable.

00:00:40.240 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday. Today is the 1,000th episode of Relatable. You

00:00:48.480 see our cute balloons? You got to watch this one on YouTube. If you're typically a person who

00:00:53.320 listens to it, then watch it because we've got a lot of things that we are going to be showing

00:00:58.140 to our audience today. We're going to take a trip down memory lane. This is going to be a fun episode.

00:01:05.000 We're not going to talk about any of the serious stuff that we typically talk about. We are going

00:01:11.620 to just show our gratitude to you. I'm going to show my gratitude to not just the team that works

00:01:18.140 on Relatable now, but the different team members that we've had over the years. And most of all,

00:01:24.400 I'm just grateful to God. I am so grateful to the Lord for giving me this opportunity and this

00:01:30.320 privilege to be able to host and help produce 1,000 Relatable episodes. So before we go back to

00:01:39.760 how this all started, a lot of you have heard that story before. Those of you who have been here since

00:01:44.140 the beginning, thank you, by the way. But many of you don't. You have no idea why I started Relatable,

00:01:49.740 how this all began. And so I'm going to give you at least a synopsis of that. I won't go into every

00:01:55.860 detail since it's a little monotonous for those of you who have heard it multiple times. And then

00:02:01.360 we'll just look at how the show has grown and changed over the years. Before we get into it,

00:02:06.680 let me tell you a really fun announcement. We've got limited edition merchandise for the 1,000

00:02:14.120 episode. So we'll put that up on the screen. We've got the t-shirt on the back. It says 1,000

00:02:20.560 episodes. And we've got a few different designs that we've had over the years on our t-shirts,

00:02:25.860 on our merch. We've got our most common phrases, raise a respectful ruckus. We've got our little

00:02:31.560 dinosaur there, our question everything dinosaur who is placing his American flag on the moon. If you

00:02:37.200 know, you know. Do everything in faith or do the next right thing. I just got my motto wrong.

00:02:44.120 Do the next right thing. And faith with excellence and for the glory of God. You can put it back up,

00:02:48.060 George. And then you're not enough, but Jesus is. Be a salmon, which means swim upstream. Self-love

00:05:19.520 You guys would not be getting free episodes without our sponsors. Our sponsors, the advertisements that

00:05:26.000 I read every episode, that is how we have a show, that we're able to pay a team to produce the show.

00:05:34.660 That's how we are able to afford to give you all of these episodes for free. And so without our

00:05:41.020 sponsors, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. So I'm so thankful, especially to the sponsors that

00:06:46.980 All right, we're gonna take a little stroll down memory lane.

00:07:02.600 Okay, so let me introduce the team. That's something I'm going to do real quickly before we

00:07:09.140 look back at where we've been since 2018. So most of you already know producer Brie.

00:07:17.680 She has been on the show several times. And you guys always give me such great feedback about my

00:07:25.300 episodes with Brie. And you love her commentary and her soothing voice. And you guys,

00:07:32.400 may not know this, but she has been in her past, a musical theater extraordinaire,

00:07:39.480 which has contributed to her ability to perform well on this show. It contributes to her camera

00:07:46.120 and stage presence. Chief Related Bro, aka my husband, always says that he loves when Brie comes

00:07:52.520 on the show. My dad also says that and they can, you know, my dad, he can be a tough critic.

00:07:57.780 And so he says that he loves the segments with Brie. And Brie has been, you don't have to keep Brie

00:08:05.680 up there for this because she might feel awkward. But so Brie came on the show. Let's see. Wait,

00:08:12.020 Brie, was it 2022? Everything has been so blurry. It was 2022. And it was right. Okay. Yes. I was

00:08:22.000 trying to remember what it was like, what years have I had babies over the past few years? That's why

00:08:25.900 everything is blurry. But so Brie came on the scene 2022. And my previous producer told me that she

00:08:34.900 was leaving and she was giving us like three weeks. And I was like, oh my goodness, it's so difficult

00:08:39.960 to find the right person who has the right personality, the right experience, the right

00:08:45.480 attitude, is able to be here locally, who can be trained quickly. I didn't even really know what I

00:08:52.100 was looking for in a producer because I really hadn't had, I hadn't had much experience with a

00:09:01.280 producer. When I started this show in 2018, it was just me. I didn't have a producer. I didn't have a

00:09:07.100 producer really at all until, gosh, I guess it was 2021, maybe like the fall of 2021. Before that,

00:09:15.420 I just had editors. So I had people who helped me with the technical side of things. Although when I

00:09:20.360 first started this and it was just audio, I was doing, I was doing a lot of that too. But I didn't

00:09:25.760 have a producer of the show for the first several years. And so I really didn't know what exactly I

00:09:34.040 needed. And we were getting all of these resumes when we posted and I just didn't find the right

00:09:39.820 person. But then my assistant at the time found Brie's email in my inbox and she had emailed,

00:09:48.780 reached out about something else. I had put like another job I'd posted. Do you remember what I

00:09:55.780 reached out about? Yeah. I actually didn't even see that you posted something. Oh, I just emailed

00:10:00.780 saying any chance you're looking for a producer. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yes. And I guess I hadn't seen the

00:10:08.040 email because yeah, my assistant sent it to me and was like, Hey, you know, I know y'all are hiring.

00:10:15.040 And I looked at it and I was like, okay, okay. She's in the area. She has some relevant experience.

00:10:24.520 I think that she's worth interviewing. And then as soon as we interviewed her, I was like, yeah,

00:10:30.380 that's it. I just totally, I just knew because she exuded competence and confidence. And the amazing

00:10:37.040 thing is, is that she didn't really, she didn't have producing experience, at least not for something

00:10:43.560 like this, at least not for a podcast. Like this was pretty new to her. She had experience that helped

00:10:49.720 her, but it's not like she had been working at the daily wire or something like that. That's kind of

00:10:54.120 typically what happens in this world. She was pretty fresh. And yet, as soon as she came in, I was like,

00:11:00.420 Oh, this is what it's supposed to be like. Oh, this is what it's like to have someone who took charge

00:11:08.120 and immediately understood what was going on and became a leader of our team. And she has just

00:11:13.860 brought so much order, so much peace of mind to the show and has helped so much in giving me the

00:11:20.320 margin to be more creative and strategic. Because what y'all don't know is there's so much that goes

00:11:27.940 into every single episode. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes. There's so much organization,

00:11:33.980 so much preparation, so much management, so many details that have to be put in order for every

00:11:40.480 episode. Some episodes are easier than the other than the others before the episode, during the

00:11:45.600 episode. And after the episode, there's so much work that has to be done, not to mention all the extra

00:11:50.160 stuff like organizing a giveaway, corresponding with all of the sponsors, talking to the ad team,

00:11:55.740 the people who manage the sponsors. Like there's just so much that goes into it. And Brie makes sure

00:12:01.860 that everything that is going on behind the scenes runs smoothly and everyone is doing what they need

00:12:08.680 to do. And she's a very good leader of people. And she has a lot of different talents and skills 0.99

00:12:14.300 that come together to be a really good producer for Relatable. So I'm just thankful. I feel like the

00:12:19.260 Lord brought her exactly at the right time. When I was so stressed that summer, I was like,

00:12:24.620 we're not going to find a producer in three weeks. There's just no way that's going to happen. And it

00:12:28.680 was like just in the nick of time. And so anyway, very thankful for Brie. And she probably doesn't

00:12:36.240 want to hear any of this and probably feels awkward about it, but it is all true. And so

00:12:43.300 none of this, this wouldn't be the same. I'll say that it wouldn't be the same without Brie. So

00:12:47.700 thankful for producer Brie. And then we've also got Lily. I don't, she might not want to be on camera,

00:12:54.460 which is fine, but you can be on camera if you want to. Yes, you can wave. Okay. So this is Lily

00:13:01.360 and she's a newer addition to our show. Very thankful for Lily and her research capabilities

00:13:06.520 and how she has helped Brie so much in the past few weeks. Brie just always tells me how great it's

00:13:14.080 been to have someone else who can handle all of the craziness and the stress and the chaos

00:13:20.920 of preparing for the show. So she's made things a lot easier and a lot smoother around here.

00:13:26.700 And then we have Vince who is our, he, the audio doesn't work back there. So he's just going to

00:13:32.340 have to wave. Vince is our awesome editor. So editing this show is not for the faint of heart

00:13:39.980 because there's, especially on YouTube, there are just a lot of elements and there are a lot of

00:13:46.160 different things that you have to do to make sure that everything looks nice, that everything sounds

00:13:51.020 good. And so he spends a lot of time every day doing that. And he is also a fairly recent addition

00:14:01.100 to our show. And Vince is just like an extremely joyful person. His attitude and his energy, his ability

00:14:08.840 to take and apply feedback is just, you want someone like Vince, um, on your team because he

00:14:15.680 just makes things easier. And then we have George back there. I don't know if you can see George,

00:14:20.600 but George is the one who is running the cameras. There's George back there. He's running the cameras,

00:14:25.780 making sure that everything looks good and all, uh, the shots look good. And I specifically requested

00:14:32.200 that George work on our show because he worked on our show a couple of times when he was kind of

00:14:37.920 substituting. And I was like, Oh, I really like him again, just an amazing attitude, extremely

00:14:44.900 competent, good at his job. And it makes it, that makes a big difference when someone is just

00:14:51.300 confident, they know what they're doing. And again, they just have such a good attitude and I loved his

00:14:56.460 energy. And so I'm so glad that we have George working on our show. And then we've got some people

00:15:00.660 who are working remotely. We've got Debbie. She is our researcher. And Oh my goodness. I know that

00:15:07.700 Brie could also speak to just like what a gift Debbie has been to this show and how she also

00:15:15.180 took a lot off of Brie's plate when she came on, because I mean, she just took the job of researcher 0.83

00:15:21.900 and ran with it. She is so thorough and there's stuff that she has researched that sadly you guys

00:15:28.300 will never even hear or know about because with every subject, she is so detailed and she is so

00:15:34.780 thorough because I've said from the beginning, I want more, not less. And she takes that very

00:15:40.180 seriously. And so there's even work and dedication that she's put into every episode that you guys

00:15:45.740 won't see, but it's still valuable and very appreciated by me. And so I get a lot of compliments

00:15:52.420 from you guys that, you know, the show is well-researched. Well, that's Debbie. Debbie is awesome. 0.60

00:15:58.980 And then we also have Kyra. Kyra has helped us with our social media. She has helped us over the

00:16:04.020 past several months, take our social media to the next level. She has an amazing attitude. As you can

00:16:09.500 tell, that's something that I really care about. I love people's enthusiasm and a great attitude.

00:16:14.520 She has an awesome attitude and she's been super creative in helping us ensure that we are doing all

00:16:22.440 of the most visually aesthetic and most creative things on our Instagram account in particular. So

00:16:29.200 I'm thankful for that. And then we've got a lot of other people who are working behind the scenes.

00:16:34.460 We've got people who have worked for Relatable over the years and I don't have time to go through

00:16:40.820 every single person, but there are so many contributors to the success of this show at Blaze TV and even

00:16:48.240 outside Blaze TV. And, um, I'm just very grateful for that. This is not a one woman show. It started

00:16:54.560 out that way. Um, but it's not a one woman show. We have so many people working together to make this

00:17:01.420 happen four times a week for y'all. And so just wherever you are out there, give it up for the

00:17:07.480 Relatable team. All right. I just wanted to honor them because again, this just wouldn't happen without

00:17:12.220 them. Now we are going to take a look back just a little bit over the years of, um, of Relatable.

00:17:31.440 Okay. Y'all 1000 episodes, 1000 episodes. Do we have a picture of my, like one of my first episodes

00:17:41.860 we can put one up. Um, the first episode you put on YouTube is episode 84. Yes. Um, not episode one,

00:17:50.240 unfortunately. So we don't have a picture of that. No, because, and the reason is, okay, so I'll,

00:17:55.640 I'll give some insider information on that. But if you're watching on YouTube, we can put up

00:18:00.220 like what the first episode looked like that was on YouTube. Um, so when, so I started at the Blaze

00:18:07.420 in 2017 and I can like give the story of that maybe in a little bit after we, uh, show our montage of

00:18:17.940 some shows over the years. But then, um, I left the Blaze in 2000 at the end of 2017. So it wasn't even

00:18:27.560 very long. And I was poached by CRTV, conservative review TV. And I went there. That's actually where I

00:18:35.760 started the podcast. That's first, if it, it was just like, I forget what it was called. It was

00:18:40.920 like Allie on TV or just Allie or something like that. It was a cute little brand. So this was the

00:18:46.260 beginning of 2018 and it was just for CRTV subscribers. There was nothing on YouTube.

00:18:51.740 Didn't have a YouTube presence. Um, again, as I'll get into, I had started kind of doing a lot of this

00:18:58.260 in 2015. And so in 2018, I started this, uh, I started just like behind the scenes stuff. And it

00:19:06.160 was where I had, for example, like that's where I started most misused. Um, I believe I was going

00:19:12.580 through, uh, often used Bible verses like Jeremiah 29, 11, and I was breaking down what they actually

00:19:19.980 mean versus the popular and wrong usage of them. I was going through subjects like the error in the

00:19:26.840 prosperity gospel. But then I would also do like little shorts on, um, like immigration and things

00:19:32.980 like that. And so it was all supposed to be from a millennial perspective because everyone wanted to

00:19:37.880 know if there were any sane millennials back then. Like we were the subject of every like Fox news

00:19:43.160 segment of like, Oh, millennials are awful liberal still living with their parents. And so everyone to

00:19:49.720 see a conservative millennial was kind of shocked back then. And there were a few of us of course doing

00:19:54.480 that, but then CRTV merged with blaze TV. Was that, when was that? Was it the end of 2018 or no, it was

00:20:04.300 the blaze. So CRTV merged with the blaze. I think it was the end of 2018, if I remember correctly. And so

00:20:12.080 then it turned into blaze TV and then, um, yeah. And, and then this continued, I think I need to back up a

00:20:20.200 little bit because, okay. Relatable started at like in March of 2018. So it started on CRTV just

00:20:28.820 behind the scenes, just for subscribers. Then I asked, I was like, can I please put this on YouTube

00:20:33.840 and can it turn into a podcast? And so I did. That's how we came up with a relatable. And I still

00:20:38.100 remember like trying to go through names. I made like the podcast art. We can put that up. The original

00:20:43.680 podcast art too. I made that like, I think on Canva myself and, um, I, I don't think anyone else helped me

00:20:53.140 come up with the name. I think I went through like relevance or I just, yeah. And then I landed on

00:21:00.120 relatable because it's relatable at least to like-minded people like me. And over the years, it's just been

00:21:06.780 affirmed and confirmed that that was in fact the right name. Because for those of us who have these

00:21:12.980 values and live in this fear, it has, thank the Lord helped you feel like you are not alone. And

00:21:19.300 someone is thinking through things the same way that you are, or is coming to the same conclusions

00:21:25.280 that you are, has the same fears and concerns and hopes as you do. Uh, so that was, uh, March,

00:21:32.660 2018. And then it was started as once a week and then it moved to two times a week and then it moved

00:21:38.700 to three. And then of course, eventually it moved to four, which is what it is now. So yeah, merge CRTV,

00:21:45.400 the blaze merged end of 2018 to become blaze TV. And here I am. I think I am the only host. I think

00:21:53.420 I'm the only host that has been in like all three that has been here the longest. So see that,

00:22:01.100 that it was the blaze and then it was CRTV and then it was blaze TV. I think I'm the only one that has

00:22:07.300 been through all three of those iterations. So I'm basically an OG, basically an OG for all of these

00:22:15.920 things. Um, all right, I'll tell you the story of how this all started in a second, but first I want to

00:22:21.780 play this montage that my team put together of just some podcast moments, uh, since 2018. Here it

00:22:31.720 is. Top one. Hey guys, welcome to relatable. Happy Monday. Happy Tuesday. Happy Wednesday. Happy

00:22:39.180 Thursday. You raise a respectful ruckus for the things that matter and you share the arrows with

00:22:44.920 other people who are voicing an unpopular opinion. His eternal plan of redemption is always going off

00:22:51.020 without a hitch. Politics matter because policy matters because people matter. Kids are always

00:22:57.380 the unconsenting subjects of progressive social experiments. My call to share the gospel, to raise

00:23:04.100 my kids, to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God does not change.

00:23:10.880 I learned that God's going to judge me by his standard of goodness and not the world's standard

00:23:14.500 of goodness. I'm on fire for Jesus. Like I, I don't plan on this dimming out. Like it took

00:23:20.880 me so many years to, um, realize that God was a good and loving heavenly father, not waiting to punish

00:23:26.920 me at every turn for some sin. Maybe I forgot to confess. The Jesus of the gospels never demonstrated

00:23:33.860 truth in one place and love in another. It was always love and truth. But it was the red words of

00:23:39.820 Jesus in the new Testament that really hit me. That really started my personal relationship with Jesus.

00:23:46.080 The real question in life is what are you going to do when this life ends? If I ever have a daughter,

00:23:52.120 I want her to have the opportunity to win a world title without competing against males. 0.99

00:23:57.840 Parents feel that they can't send their kid to school because they're worried about the kids

00:24:03.540 coming back with having an agenda shoved down their throat. I don't think any other president's

00:24:09.100 ever gone through anything like this where it was hoaxes and they impeached me twice for no reason.

00:24:14.100 This is, this is a theory. Okay. I'm just going to say this. Dinosaurs never existed. Some of this has

00:24:21.940 been constructed by a bunch of nerds who were like, Oh, Jurassic Park. That would be so cool, man.

00:24:29.700 I started this interview as a man, but will I finish it as a man?

00:24:35.740 The wing dysphoria is... 0.91

00:24:38.100 Everyone in this room is laughing.

00:24:40.920 This is so funny to me. It might not be funny to you. That's all we got for this week. We will be

00:24:51.900 back here on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. We will be back here on Friday and I'll see you then.

00:24:57.800 Okay. What I love to think about most, I think, when it comes to Relatable is the guests that we've

00:25:07.840 had on. I mean, I've, I've had some of the most amazing guests and not just the ones that we played,

00:25:13.860 not even like the big names that, you know, like Kat Von D, Candace Cameron, Bure. We've had Kurt

00:25:19.620 Cameron on. We have had Al Mohler on, John MacArthur on, Ron DeSantis on. I, I do think that my,

00:25:29.940 the one that I was nervous about, the only one that I was nervous about and the one that still

00:25:35.060 kind of blows my mind that it happened is Donald Trump. Um, that was like, I mean, you know, I have

00:25:41.940 my criticisms of Donald Trump and the things that he says, but that really was so cool and such an

00:25:48.000 honor to have him on. That was actually before Bree's time. Um, but I was very grateful. I was

00:25:53.400 very grateful that he took the time to come on my show. He didn't have to, he had much bigger and

00:25:58.480 better things to do, but he did come on my show. And so I'm very thankful of that for that. That's a

00:26:03.300 very like high moment for me, big moment, highlight of, uh, of relatable. Uh, let's see. I've got some

00:26:10.900 questions that my team has asked me to answer. Well, let me go through some of the most watched.

00:26:16.840 You guys might think that this is interesting. Um, episode 902 Kat Von D most watched episode by far,

00:26:25.540 like by a whole lot. And I'm so thankful to Kat for coming on the show. That's like a cool story of

00:26:32.500 how that happened. We didn't even ask her to come on. She asked if she could come on the show,

00:26:37.180 which was also a really big moment to me. It just made me grateful for the platform that we've

00:26:41.840 built and that she was able to trust me, um, to have her on and to share her testimony. And then

00:26:47.180 we've got a ginger Duggar Volo. We did her first like podcast on air interview where she shared her 0.71

00:26:55.860 story. And so that was the second most popular. And then we've got Ross Johnston who doesn't have

00:27:02.220 like this same prominent platform as ginger and Kat, but has such an amazing story. He was donor

00:27:08.880 conceived, raised by lesbians, and then he became a Christian and he got to know his true father,

00:27:14.800 uh, through Christ. And then most listened to Brie and I were just talking about how like random this

00:27:20.560 is to me, at least, um, episode eight 38, Andrew Tate, Margot Robbie, and the danger of the red pill.

00:27:28.340 And Brie and Debbie had been up like all night, uh, putting together research for that episode.

00:27:34.820 And we didn't even get to everything that we were going to. I was out of town, so I was doing it

00:27:38.940 remotely. I just remember being like very stressed about that episode and not feeling like I delivered

00:27:44.380 the information that well. And then somehow it is like our, our most popular episode, at least on

00:27:51.000 the listening side. And then president Donald Trump still comes in second. And then interestingly,

00:27:57.260 an episode about Kyle Rittenhouse with Elijah Schaefer is number three. And then number four,

00:28:04.180 Kat Von D most listened to, um, yep, that's number four. And then I think number five, I don't have it on

00:28:10.900 here. I think it's Ginger Duggar as well. Very first episode on YouTube was episode 84, the privilege

00:28:17.240 of ignorance. I don't remember what I was talking about. It's very painful for me to go back and

00:28:21.400 listen to or watch those first episodes. I don't have a hard time listening to my voice now because

00:28:26.400 I'm so used to it, but going back and listening to those is really tough for me because I just had

00:28:33.360 like a different cadence, a different voice. I'd like to think that I have grown and matured as a

00:28:38.500 host. And so it's better now than it used to be. And I was writing out back then I was writing out

00:28:44.700 all of my episodes, like the entire script verbatim. And I was reading them because I just was so afraid

00:28:51.580 to say something wrong. I didn't want to do anything extemporaneously. And that was before I had kids.

00:28:56.680 And so I guess I had time to do that, to sit down. It literally took me like five hours to write

00:29:01.820 out every episode and I was doing it and I was reading it and I was putting together and I was doing my

00:29:07.460 like audio with everything on my own. And so if I messed up, I would like stop as literally garage

00:29:13.060 band on my computer. And I was doing all of that on my own. So we've come a long way. That was March

00:29:19.820 19th. It says March 19th, 2024. I don't think that was correct. I think it's 2018. Was it 2018?

00:29:28.420 2019? Yeah. No, no. Or 2019. It started in 2019. Yeah, it was 2019. 2019 that it started on YouTube.

00:29:35.260 Okay, guys, I had to really ask for the show to like to go on YouTube and not just be

00:29:41.300 behind the paywall. And I'm glad that worked out. It's such a different landscape back then.

00:29:46.380 And then we've got an in memoriam, RIPIP to episode 630 on YouTube for getting us a strike.

00:29:55.920 We have a strike on YouTube because of the episode with Julie Kelly titled January 6th,

00:30:01.640 What They're Not Telling Us. So that is the one strike that we have. What does that tell you?

00:30:06.500 I don't know. Something to think about. Something to think about. All right. I guess I should,

00:30:12.760 before we get into the voicemails and the would you rathers, which are going to be super fun,

00:30:16.100 I guess I can just give like a brief summary of how this all started. Okay. So back in 20,

00:30:26.400 let's see, how far do I go back? I could go back to birth in some ways, but I'll go back to 2015.

00:30:31.840 So I had just gotten married. It was a year after I graduated from college. My husband and I lived in

00:30:36.340 Athens, Georgia. That's where we met in 2014. That's where we got married in 2015. And I was working a

00:30:43.060 full-time job in PR and social media. It was a great first job out of college. And I met some of

00:30:49.260 my lifelong friends there. And one of those friends is named Mary Ashley. We still send each other

00:30:54.280 podcast-long voice messages every week. And as I was working at this PR and social media firm

00:31:03.280 in Athens, I just had this desire to do something else. I had always loved public speaking. I'd always

00:31:11.960 loved communicating. Really, that's like the only thing that I am good at is writing and speaking and

00:31:20.420 talking and communicating and explaining things. And that has been my entire life. Both my mom and

00:31:26.200 grandmother were teachers. And so from a very early age, like toddlers, they were toddler age. They

00:31:31.820 were teaching me phonics and how to read. And so all of that stuff came naturally to me. And I also

00:31:37.220 loved it. And when I was graduating from college, I delivered the commencement speech, not because I

00:31:43.600 was valedictorian, but because we all got to submit a speech and then anonymously. And then a group of

00:31:51.220 teachers picked the final speeches. And then we got to perform our speeches in front of a portion of

00:31:58.580 the student body. And then they voted on who won and who was going to deliver the speech. And the other

00:32:05.260 people who were the finalists for delivering the speech, they had way better grades than me. They were

00:32:10.260 way more involved than I was. But for whatever reason, I was selected. And so I got to deliver the

00:32:18.360 commencement speech at our college graduation. And I just remember there was this moment, it almost

00:32:23.440 felt like an out-of-body experience, where I was looking out into the crowd. And I just had this,

00:32:28.180 it was almost a physical feeling in my heart that I want to do this. This is what I want to do.

00:32:34.440 This is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I've never felt this energized. I've never felt this

00:32:38.980 shirt. I've never felt this just like fire in me that, yes, this right here is what I want to do.

00:32:46.280 And so I didn't know what that was going to look like. And so I took the job, NPR. But then 2015

00:32:55.800 rolls around. It's that crazy election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton that's starting

00:33:01.540 up. It's still the primary season. And I lived in this fairly conservative, what was kind of seen

00:33:07.000 as conservative, at least back then, it's not now, college town. And I realized that all of these

00:33:12.240 young women around me, these college students, they didn't know what was going on. They didn't

00:33:17.740 really care. And what really concerned me, because I was leading this precious Bible study at the time,

00:33:22.020 still keep in touch with a lot of these women, I almost said girls. And one of the girls in the 1.00

00:33:29.080 Bible study, so she was a freshman, I was one year out of college. She is this sweet Christian girl,

00:33:34.260 so smart. She tells me that she loves Bernie Sanders. And I'm like, I'm sorry? What? And so

00:33:42.480 we start like going through the issues. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, this is a problem. This is

00:33:47.340 a problem. And by the way, she is extremely conservative now. But that kind of like inspired 0.75

00:33:54.220 me. Okay, I need to be talking to young women about these issues. They're not thinking through it 1.00

00:33:58.680 and the way that I think that they should as Christians. And so I actually started speaking

00:34:03.180 at sorority chapter meetings, I would reach out to sororities and say, can I come give a

00:34:09.820 presentation at your chapter meeting? And some said yes, some said no. And I did that a few times.

00:34:15.000 And it was really kind of a nonpartisan presentation, just like, here are the issues.

00:34:19.200 Here's why you should vote. It wasn't necessarily from a Christian conservative perspective yet,

00:34:23.200 because I knew that they probably wouldn't let me give my presentation if that was the case.

00:34:27.100 But as I was doing this, like, chief related bro, my husband was like in the back, like videoing

00:34:32.680 with my phone. And it was just like a really fun hobby that gave me so much energy. And I,

00:34:40.500 so I kept doing that. And I kept looking for opportunities to speak. I started a blog called

00:34:46.180 the conservative millennial. It was really more of like a Facebook page where I was trying to give

00:34:50.400 commentary on things. I started making videos. And back in that day, there wasn't really a lot of

00:34:55.720 censorship. Like you could post a video and if people liked it, it could go viral. And so at

00:35:00.680 first, it wasn't like that at all. I was only getting a few views on my videos. But then eventually,

00:35:04.800 I started making videos that just took off, that were getting hundreds of thousands and millions

00:35:10.280 of views, whether it was about Trump or how Christians should vote or about feminism, the

00:35:15.100 Women's March, abortion, things like that. Again, a lot of them weren't doing well at all. But some of them

00:35:20.180 were doing super well. And that's, that was the end by, at this point, it was like the end of 2016.

00:35:26.640 And I was like, yeah, I really want to find a way to do this. And then my husband got a job

00:35:32.060 somewhere else that, that moved us. And I was like, okay, I really want to try to do this full

00:35:38.280 time. I know zero people in media. So I didn't have any connections. I don't have like any funders.

00:35:44.140 I didn't have anyone that discovered me and was like, I'm going to make you famous and give you a

00:35:49.480 brand. I've never had a branding strategist. I only recently, for the first time, like hired a

00:35:54.640 publicist to help me navigate things. I've never had a social media strategist. I've never had a

00:35:58.660 brand strategist, never had like some kind of advanced marketing team or anything like that.

00:36:04.440 I was just saying what I feel and hoping that it works. But anyway, back to the friend that I,

00:36:10.260 Mary Ashley, I think I forgot about her for a second, that worked with me at the PR firm, 0.99

00:36:15.620 she was the only person I knew in media. And you know what she did? She read traffic and weather for

00:36:22.240 the, like a local radio station in Athens, Georgia, that was the media connection that I had. And I was

00:36:28.980 like, do you know anyone? And she introduced me to her boss at this local radio station, Pete. And Pete,

00:36:36.380 I met with him. And he really was like, I don't know anyone in like large scale conservative media.

00:36:44.240 The only conservative woman that I can think of in radio is, is Dana Lash. And at that point, I was so

00:36:52.380 fresh, I didn't really know anything about conservative media. So I didn't, I didn't even know who that was

00:36:57.640 at the time. But he was like, but I do have a friend in Nashville, his name is Steve, and he's better

00:37:03.100 connected to like national radio stations, I'll connect you to Steve. And we were I remember we

00:37:08.860 were like moving out of our apartment about to move cities. And I'm in like our empty apartment.

00:37:15.640 And I have this conversation with Steve, who was still I think of him and I'm like, you were like

00:37:19.700 the sweetest, just nicest person who had no reason to talk to me at all. No reason to spend an hour of

00:37:25.720 his time just encouraging me and helping me. He was like, you know, I don't really know very many

00:37:31.200 people specifically in conservative media. But I do know Dana Lash's executive producer and his name

00:37:38.180 is Kane. And I can introduce you to him. And he can give you a tour maybe, maybe of Blaze Studios.

00:37:45.840 And so I was just excited about that to like take a tour. That's going to be so exciting. I can see,

00:37:51.240 you know, some, you know, Glenn Beck and some of the people and conservative media. And so he was

00:37:57.540 kind enough. Kane was kind enough to meet me and to give me a tour. But then when I was there,

00:38:02.860 one of the producers that worked at the Blaze at the time was like, hey, I've seen your videos.

00:38:07.420 Do you want to come here and do like some Facebook lives with us or something or like do some social

00:38:13.620 media videos? And so I did. And that's basically what started it. And I continued to speak at

00:38:18.940 different places. And then Fox News asked me to come on and be a guest several times. And then it just

00:38:24.960 kind of grew and grew. The videos that I was doing for the Blaze really worked. They performed really

00:38:30.220 well. And then so it just kind of grew. And then, like I said, I went to CRTV where I started my own

00:38:35.780 thing, where I started Relatable, merged, became Blaze TV. And here I am today. So, so many different

00:38:42.140 points that I didn't even list, but so much evidence, at least to me, of God's providence and how

00:38:47.260 he works all things together according to his goodwill. And there are so many moments and

00:38:55.160 connections and things and even feelings of failure and rejection when things didn't seem to be going

00:39:02.720 well or didn't seem to be succeeding or I didn't get the opportunity that I wanted to get. For example,

00:39:09.980 I filmed in 2018, I filmed a pilot with CNN. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, 2018, I filmed a pilot with CNN. It was

00:39:18.580 going to be like, kind of like The View. It was with Anna Navarro and Mary Catherine Hamm and then Dana Bash.

00:39:28.360 I forget who all it was. It was an interesting group. But MK and I were the only conservatives. And yeah, we filmed

00:39:35.200 a pilot and it didn't take off. It didn't get picked up. And I was disappointed in that. I thought

00:39:40.240 it'd be so cool to like live in DC or to travel to DC and to like have this TV job. This is going to be

00:39:47.320 my really big break. But then it didn't work out. And just a few weeks later, we got pregnant with my

00:39:55.520 first. And that was so obviously God's plan. And it was so much better. It was so much better. And I was

00:40:02.860 just telling someone this this morning. This is something that I remember hearing from author

00:40:06.640 Mary and Jordan a long time ago is that man's rejection is God's protection. And when I look

00:40:12.380 over the past few years of my life, I see that that is absolutely true. And of course, most of all,

00:40:18.440 in addition to the Lord, I could not do any of this without my husband, who is such a hard worker,

00:40:24.600 does so much that you guys don't know and don't see. None of this would be possible without him.

00:40:29.880 And we work together so well. He has been such a loving encouragement to me, such a supporter of

00:40:36.940 me, has believed in me from the time that we were dating. And I him, but also believed in him and

00:40:44.380 supported anything that he wants to do. And we just work together so well. My parents, huge fans and

00:40:50.100 supporters of what I do. It helps to just have so many amazing, godly, prayerful people in my corner,

00:40:57.080 including my in-laws, so many people and so many friends that just help make all of this happen.

00:41:03.460 So anyway, so there we go. I hope that you draw some lessons from that. I know that our lives look

00:41:10.080 different, that you are on a different journey than I am and the opportunities and spaces and

00:41:15.260 sphere of influence that God has for you is going to be different. But all of us are placed on these

00:41:20.220 tiny, tiny spots of eternity, these tiny specks of the universe, and all of us are called to the

00:41:26.000 same thing. Yes, to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God,

00:41:30.440 but just to maximize and beautify and to cultivate and to make better the people around us through

00:41:36.660 the power of the Holy Spirit, but also the spaces where we work and where we interact with others.

00:41:44.500 All of us are called to do that. All of us are called to use and steward our talents to their fullest.

00:41:51.960 And I would say if there has been a fear in my life, it is that I would have skills or talents

00:41:58.940 or abilities or resources that are left unused. That is a very scary prospect for me, and I don't

00:42:07.800 want that. I want to use everything that God has given me as best as I can for His glory and to help

00:42:14.840 other people. All right. I think that's enough of a trip down memory lane. Now let's get to some

00:42:20.080 voicemails that you guys sent me that I'm so excited to listen to. I have not listened to

00:42:23.940 these voicemails, by the way. My team picked them out, and so they will be a surprise to me that I'm

00:42:28.600 very thankful for so many of you who took the time to send those. We obviously can't play all of them

00:42:34.000 because we got hundreds, but we will play a few, and I will respond to them. But thank you to everyone

00:42:40.640 who sent. Okay. Let's listen to some voicemails. I don't know how many I'm going to get through.

00:42:59.440 Let me go through the ones that the bolded ones, and then I'll see if I have time to go through the

00:43:06.520 guys. Okay. Let's listen to voicemail one. Hi, Allie Beth. My name is Molly, and I live in

00:43:14.800 Napa, California, and I wanted to say thank you because your podcast changed my life, and I'm not

00:43:22.120 even exaggerating. Back in 2020, my friend from college turned me on to your podcast. While we were

00:43:30.620 suffering through the injustices of the COVID response, I was a biology major in college,

00:43:36.420 and all of those scientific theories that I was learning had become my religion. But your

00:43:44.500 consistent and truthful commentary on everything that was going on in the world and is going on in

00:43:52.860 the world helped me let go of that false hope and turn towards something so much greater. Back this

00:44:01.860 last September, right around my 32nd birthday, I gave my life to Christ. And I have to say thank you

00:44:11.380 because I feel like your podcast was the catalyst for my salvation.

00:44:17.540 I found a local church that focuses on biblical teaching, and I'm planning to get baptized at the

00:44:26.840 end of the summer. My goodness, the big ones that are going to make me cry. Thank you so much. Thank

00:44:36.780 you for taking the time to share that. I really hope we get to meet one day, and if we don't get to meet

00:44:44.180 in this life, I praise God that we will get to meet each other in heaven. And I'm so thankful that the

00:44:49.880 Holy Spirit used this podcast just as a part of your salvation testimony. I mean, praise God. And I

00:44:56.480 just give him all the glory and all the credit for that because we can help plant seeds, but it's God who

00:45:03.300 gives growth, and it is his word that never returns void. And we are just privileged to be used as vessels

00:45:11.520 of his power. So thank you so much. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord for your testimony, and may he use you to

00:45:19.060 advance his kingdom and to multiply. Thank you so much. All right, let's do the relationship advice voicemail.

00:45:29.220 Hi, Allie. This is Elise. I've been listening since the days you first went on YouTube, the house couch days.

00:45:37.300 I don't have a favorite episode, but the most impactful episode was definitely should a Christian 1.00

00:45:45.340 date a non-Christian, which helped me open my eyes to see that I was in denial about the

00:45:51.760 dead-end relationship I was in with an agnostic. And I ended it and learned to trust God in that area

00:45:59.260 of my life. Something you have said a few times now has just been so true for me. A lot can change in a

00:46:06.620 year. I connected with my future husband last June, and we met in person in July, got engaged on

00:46:13.540 September 4th, and got married on October 3rd. I moved two states away from where I'd lived for 32

00:46:19.860 years, and in January, I started a new job at the local pregnancy resource center, which incidentally

00:46:26.740 changed my mind on abortion in the case of rape. It hasn't even been a full year yet, which is crazy,

00:46:34.660 but I'm so thankful for my incredible, amazing, godly husband.

00:46:40.460 Praise God. Praise the Lord. That is awesome. Thank you so much. And I'm so grateful and excited for

00:46:46.980 your marriage, but also what you're doing at the pregnancy resource center. Those women need your 1.00

00:46:52.620 love, and they need your testimony, and they need your grace and your wisdom and your help. And so I'm

00:47:00.680 so glad to hear that you are doing that. I hope everyone follows that example. Everyone needs

00:47:05.860 to connect to their local pregnancy center. Thank you so much for sharing that. All right, let's listen

00:47:11.120 to voicemail five.

00:47:16.280 Hey, Allie. Congratulations on your 1,000th episode. My name is Amanda. I live in Portland, Oregon.

00:47:23.480 I've been listening to you since 2020. Long story short, you have changed my mind on abortion and

00:47:30.860 helping mothers and their babies. I used to lobby for Planned Parenthood with my mom, who's atheist, back

00:47:40.080 when I was a 20-year-old. But now, thanks to you, I volunteer at my local pregnancy resource center. So thank

00:47:47.160 you so much for just how you've changed my life and how you stand on biblical truth. I just appreciate

00:47:54.920 you so much and look forward to all your episodes. So congratulations on number 1,000. Okay, bye.

00:48:02.380 I'm really trying not to, like, sob and ruin the episode. I'm just so thankful to the Lord. And I

00:48:08.700 hope that this is encouraging to all of you, because it just goes to show, like, we always hear people's

00:48:15.080 hearts and minds can't change, or unless you have, like, the perfect thing to say, the perfect

00:48:20.060 argument, or the perfect tone, or the perfect approach. Or if you don't, like, skirt around

00:48:25.240 the truth, and if you don't soften the truth to the point of basically not saying anything, then no

00:48:30.380 one's going to listen to you. Or if you don't compromise with the world, then you're not going

00:48:33.960 to win anyone over. And I get these kinds of messages so often from people whose minds and hearts

00:48:40.980 have been changed. And again, I don't take credit for it. It's just, it just goes to show that, as we

00:48:46.520 always say, the Lord's eternal plan of redemption is always going off without a hitch. Like, you hear

00:48:51.940 these voicemails, they don't make headlines. They're not going viral. And yet, this is what the Lord is

00:48:58.520 doing. This is what the Lord has always done through believers. By the way, I am just a common

00:49:03.460 believer. You're just a common believer. This is what God has done since the beginning of the church. He has

00:49:09.020 used his people to change hearts and minds, for him to change hearts and minds, the heart of stone to

00:49:15.520 the heart of flesh. So take that, Planned Parenthood. Okay, let's do voicemail seven.

00:49:25.260 Hey, Allie Beth. This is Andrew from beautiful North Georgia. Been listening and following you since

00:49:33.100 before you even started your podcast, back when it was the conservative millennial. I, too, am an

00:49:39.440 elder millennial. And I appreciate the segments that you have specifically with your father as

00:49:47.100 myself and a father of a young daughter. I appreciate hearing that interaction and wisdom from him

00:49:55.460 and hearing you listen and interact with him on all those things. Would you rather listen to Donald

00:50:06.800 Trump read the message for the rest of your life or Joe Biden read the ESV? Oh, that's good.

00:50:18.840 That's the only versions that you can listen to for the rest of your life. Which one would you rather

00:50:25.800 listen to? Thank you for all you do and God bless. Thank you, Related Bro. Thank you so much. And my

00:50:32.580 dad will love to hear that, too. Okay, first, I'm not an elder millennial. If you were born in 1992,

00:50:40.420 then you were not an elder millennial either. I was born in 92. Now, if you were born in the early 80s,

00:50:45.220 y'all are, it's called geriatric millennial. That's the medical term. And if you're born before 1990,

00:50:51.940 you're geriatric. Do not include me. Do not include me in your late 30s, early 40s era that you are in. 0.86

00:51:02.280 But I will give you credit for your, for your would you rather. Okay, so the question was,

00:51:08.540 would you rather listen to Donald Trump read? So I'm picturing this in my Bible app,

00:51:14.640 the only, by the only way that I can read the Bible is to hear Donald Trump read the message

00:51:19.180 version, which the message version is like, instead of, you know, I don't know, I'm trying

00:51:25.740 to think of a verse, of course, like, I can't think of a verse off the top of my head. It's like,

00:51:30.180 by grace, you have been saved through faith, it would be like, it's all good vibes and nothing

00:51:37.220 you can do, man. That's basically what the message is. Or the ESV, which is what I listen to or what I

00:51:46.340 read, the English Standard Version, Joe Biden reading that. Oh, I have to go with Joe Biden

00:51:54.040 reading the ESV. And you know what? If Joe Biden read the whole Bible, I would be thankful for that.

00:52:00.880 I'd be thankful for that. And I will say, I'm not completely trashing on the message. Like,

00:52:05.740 okay, if someone really needs that as like their gateway, that's okay. But it can't end there. You

00:52:12.120 need to got to graduate to the ESV or NASB or the KJV, NKJV, I would say. Okay, let's listen to voicemail 10.

00:52:21.460 Hey, this is the Chief Related Bro. I just wanted to call in and say congratulations on a thousand

00:52:31.160 episodes to Allie and the Relatable team. I know the work that goes into the show, and it is so

00:52:38.200 amazing to see how the Lord has blessed the show and Allie and just the talent that you have. I'm so

00:52:44.240 proud of you. And I cannot wait for the next 1,000 episodes and to see how the Lord just uses you

00:52:52.360 and the great talents and abilities that you have. Congratulations again. Love you.

00:52:57.380 Aw, sweet, sweet Related Bro. I didn't know. I had no idea that that was going to be played. That's

00:53:04.160 so sweet. Okay, let's listen to voicemail 9.

00:53:07.240 Hi, Allie. I have been listening to you since early 2020. And the first episode I ever listened

00:53:16.460 to was three myths that a lot of Christian women believe. And I was so offended by it. But I had 0.99

00:53:27.220 an eating disorder and just had been fed a lot of self-love therapy. And your episode just helped me

00:53:32.880 come face-to-face with really how unbiblical a lot of it is. And I've been listening to you ever

00:53:38.260 since and just really appreciate what you do and how you hold firm to the Word and just pray that you

00:53:42.820 continue to do so. Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. That was like

00:53:48.600 my first favorite episode. I think it was the most popular episode for a really long time. And it also

00:53:55.140 inspired the book that I wrote, You're Not Enough and That's Okay, where I also talk about how I

00:53:59.840 struggled with an eating disorder and what I really needed to hear to help me get out of that.

00:54:05.520 Okay, let's play voicemail 2.

00:54:11.360 Hey, Allie. Congrats on a thousand episodes. You have changed my mind on multiple things.

00:54:17.960 Pitbulls. Oh my gosh. Also surrogacy and IDF. And this one's going to sound kind of weird, but like

00:54:24.880 I used to vote for Democrats in elections. And I don't do that anymore. You changed my mind about

00:54:33.380 conservative viewpoints most closely aligning with the biblical worldview. So thank you for that. And

00:54:39.200 thank you for keeping me well informed on the issues that really matter. Okay, would you rather?

00:54:45.000 Would you rather be every single time for the rest of your life that you are stuck in line anywhere,

00:54:51.200 you are stuck in line next to AOC and she's like, taking selfies and talking on the phone and

00:54:56.280 complaining? Or every single time you get off the flight and go to get your baggage, you have to

00:55:02.700 race to baggage claim to beat Sam Brinton, who is also racing to steal your luggage. All right.

00:55:09.520 Thank you again. Oh my goodness. Good question. Good question. I hate running. So probably AOC.

00:55:18.300 Probably AOC. And I've always wanted to talk to her because I feel like I could, I feel like I could

00:55:25.640 get through to her. Probably not. That's probably a, uh, just a dream that's too far off, but I think

00:55:34.380 it would, it would be AOC for sure. Okay. Let's play voicemail eight. I wanted to say that I found you

00:55:43.380 on YouTube shorts. In May of 2023, I was a Democrat. I was not married. I was living with my long term,

00:55:54.180 long term boyfriend. Um, and now I can probably say I am married. I am a Christian and I'm a conservative.

00:56:05.600 Um, within the whole year of 2023, so much changed. My husband, um, turned from being a Democrat to

00:56:19.460 being conservative. We got baptized and devoted our lives to Christ in August of 2023. I have a

00:56:29.460 stepbrother then also is a Christ believer now too. And he got baptized a month ago and it wouldn't

00:56:37.920 have happened if I didn't come across your shorts on YouTube. So you have changed my life and everyone

00:56:44.960 around me. So I am so glad I found you. Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. Again, just praise God

00:56:53.460 for what he does and how he works. Thank you so much for sharing that. That's so meaningful. Praise

00:57:00.020 the Lord y'all praise the Lord, how he uses imperfect fallible people to accomplish his purposes. All

00:57:07.020 right. We're going to move on to, um, our next segment. Thank you so much again to everyone who

00:57:11.660 left a, who left a voicemail. We're going to move on to some, would you rather's? We can't go through

00:57:17.780 all of them and I'm going to make people respond. Even if they're not on camera, I'm going to make

00:57:22.300 people in this room respond. Um, and you'll, you can respond in your own home as well. You can comment

00:57:27.140 on YouTube and tell us, uh, what your, what your answer is. Okay. First question. I, again, I have

00:57:37.020 not read these. I didn't want to ruin it. And so I just skimmed this last night and I didn't, I didn't,

00:57:42.900 uh, read them thoroughly. Would I rather always laugh like Kamala Harris or always walk like Joe Biden?

00:57:49.960 Okay. Um, okay. So how does Kamala Harris laugh? Brie, do you have an impersonation? 1.00

00:57:57.500 No, I don't have an impersonation. I wish I did.

00:58:00.900 Is it that?

00:58:01.700 Yeah, kind of.

00:58:05.440 Every time you laugh.

00:58:06.520 So every time, even when it's not funny, even it's just like slightly awkward or she says

00:58:12.180 something wrong. What did she say recently? Um, I, I don't even, who, who knows that who

00:58:20.480 doesn't like a bus? Everyone loves a yellow school bus. Remember when she said that a couple 1.00

00:58:23.960 of years ago?

00:58:26.540 Okay. Um, or always walk like Joe Biden who, uh, walks like a toddler who pooped in their

00:58:32.620 diaper. Um, sorry, that rude. It's just true. Uh, I think I would, I think, I think, I think I would 0.64

00:58:43.840 rather laugh like Kamala. I think I would. Would you rather laugh like Kamala? Yeah. Lily? You'd

00:58:54.160 rather laugh like Kamala? George and Vince?

00:58:56.580 Oh, no one wants to walk like Joe. No one likes to, no one wants to walk like Joe Biden. Okay. Okay.

00:59:06.840 Okay. Would I rather have to finance all of Stephen Furtick's designer clothes or join the

00:59:12.260 Church of Scientology for a year? Okay. I definitely would rather finance Furtick's designer clothes. I

00:59:18.540 would go bankrupt extremely quickly. And then I would just be like, I don't have any money. I don't have

00:59:23.940 any money. Um, so I can't, I can't join this Church of Scientology for a year. That's so scary.

00:59:29.480 Unless I like go in and I like share the gospel with everyone and everyone is like, oh my gosh,

00:59:35.800 this is wrong. And I break apart the cult, but I don't think that would happen. I think that would

00:59:39.900 kill me. Ah, um, let's see. So many Sam Britton ones. Cause he's so scary. Would I rather have Don

00:59:48.660 Limon be the permanent co-host of Relatable or Sam Britton produced Relatable? Um, well,

00:59:55.240 I'm genuinely scared of Sam Britton. Like I'm scared of him. Don Limon, I would just turn his mic off and

01:00:03.020 he wouldn't know. And he would just be talking and he thinks he's making really good points, but like

01:00:10.120 the camera would just be on me and I would just keep talking. And you know what? It would be kind

01:00:14.900 be fun a little bit to, you know, just like slap him around because I don't think that he is the

01:00:23.300 most skilled debater in the world. Um, would I rather own a pit bull or only the parts that only the

01:00:34.380 pants I'm allowed to wear are low rise jeans? Oh, I would rather wear low rise jeans. I mean,

01:00:40.600 I would wear a really long shirt, but I would rather do that than own a pit bull. I can't

01:00:46.900 put my children in danger. I just will have to put all of your eyes in danger by wearing low rise

01:00:53.880 jeans. Um, let's see. Would you rather always speak in Bible verses or always sing in Christian hymns?

01:01:03.720 So does that mean that I am not talking, that I'm only singing? Or does it mean that when I sing,

01:01:11.920 it has to be a Christian hymn? Um, well, if I only spoke in Bible verses, then I would never be wrong.

01:01:20.920 So that would be cool. I would just always be saying something that's true, which is great.

01:01:27.160 Um, but I do love Christian hymns. I would not mind every time I sing singing Christian hymns. And so

01:01:34.200 I guess, but if that means that I can't talk, I don't know. So I'm going to say singing Christian

01:01:40.080 hymns and I'm going to go with like what I want it to be. Uh, would you rather paint your house all

01:01:45.700 black or replace all your carpets with Toy Story ruggable rugs? Good question. Definitely Toy Story

01:01:51.280 ruggable rugs. Because some of them are kind of cute. I, if you know what I'm talking about,

01:01:58.580 you know that you might buy a ruggable Toy Story rug and not even know that Jane and Woody are on

01:02:03.440 them lassoing the designs on there. You might not know. So I'm going to go with Toy Story ruggable

01:02:10.880 rugs. It would look fine. Would I rather walk barefoot through an airport or have Kamala as my mom?

01:02:16.620 Um, definitely barefoot through an airport for sure. It's fine. You can just take a shower.

01:02:26.920 Um, would I rather swim in my snow clothes, which I don't own or play in the snow in a swimsuit? Oh,

01:02:36.160 swim in my snow clothes for sure. Definitely not in the ocean, but like in a pool. Um, okay.

01:02:42.680 Let's listen to voicemail 15.

01:02:46.620 Hi, Allie Beth. This is Christina from Atlanta. One of your biggest fans. I've listened to every

01:02:53.300 single episode. Um, I have the world's hardest. Would you rather question? Okay, here it goes.

01:02:58.780 I'm ready. Would you rather go on a romantic getaway weekend with Joe Biden or a girl's trip to Vegas 0.75

01:03:07.260 with AOC? Have fun with that one. Love you so much. Bye.

01:03:11.660 Okay. Love you too. But that's not difficult. That's not difficult at all. One means a romantic

01:03:21.080 trip with Joe Biden. Like, let's think about that for a second. No, in zero circumstances would I be

01:03:28.640 going on a romantic trip with anyone except for Chief Related Bro, but Joe Biden. I mean, maybe you go and

01:03:36.360 he falls asleep at four o'clock every day and you can just enjoy the vacation without him, but romantic

01:03:43.860 getaway? No, no, no. Um, now all of you, no, no, no. I was trying to think like who would answer this

01:03:52.800 question with that one, but no, in zero circumstances ever. It would definitely be a girl's trip with AOC.

01:03:58.040 See, and again, I'm always going to pick the AOC option because I think that I could get through to 1.00

01:04:04.040 her. I think that I could change her mind by just asking a few pointed strategic questions that would

01:04:11.780 make her worldview crumble. So yeah, I don't hate AOC. I feel bad for her and I think that she, her,

01:04:20.240 she weaponizes her stupidity for the destruction of the United States, but I think that I could help her 1.00

01:04:26.360 out. All right. That's it for the Would You Rathers. I think we had some TikToks to react to. We don't 1.00

01:04:31.940 have time for that. Let's go to, gosh, we got, we have some cute good news stories. Um, I want to go

01:04:41.020 through though the, um, the paleo artist drawings of some animals and that's how we're going to end today's

01:04:49.580 episode. Okay. So I want to go through, I want to, I want to go through some of these pictures

01:05:08.620 of animals that have been, uh, drawn by a paleo artist who named CM Kosman. He drew common animals

01:05:19.120 the way that dinosaurs have been depicted, uh, with no layers of fat and an emphasis on teeth.

01:05:25.960 So if we were to have the fossils of these animals or the bones of these animals that I'm about to

01:05:30.760 read and an artist who has traditionally depicted, uh, dinosaurs drew them based on these bones,

01:05:40.520 this is what they would look like, which tells us that how dinosaurs have been depicted

01:05:46.020 is probably not what they've actually looked like. And the reason that we're talking about this,

01:05:50.840 of course, you know, that we have a theory that it's not that dinosaurs didn't exist. I know I

01:05:55.860 kind of said that in my montage, it's that they looked and sounded completely different than what

01:06:01.700 we are told they look and sound like now. And it really is just a bunch of people having a good time

01:06:06.120 and having some kind of fantasy of Jurassic Park. So, okay, can we go through this? This is BuzzFeed news.

01:06:10.440 This is a baboon. So again, this is what a baboon would be depicted as if you didn't draw them with

01:06:19.720 their layers of fat or the right teeth or their fur. Like we are just guessing because we can't know

01:06:29.640 what kind of skin, what kind of hair, and even fully what kind of teeth dinosaurs so-called had.

01:06:35.840 And so these artists that are depicting them are just kind of making things up, assuming

01:06:40.520 there wasn't fat, assuming there wasn't hair, assuming that there wasn't fur. And so this is

01:06:47.640 what a baboon would look like if it were depicted as dinosaurs are depicted. And yet the bones are

01:06:54.200 just a baboon. Okay, here's a zebra. Zebra, guys. Zebra. Like this is what a zebra would look like

01:07:03.020 without fat and without its hair. And so you could see, oh, that looks like a dinosaur.

01:07:08.700 No, that's literally just a zebra. A cow. A cow. Okay. A cow. A cat.

01:07:20.800 If you put a cat and you put spikes on its head, again, things that are being totally made up by these

01:07:28.460 paleontologists artists. The, like, spikes and stuff that are on some, like, the spikes on the

01:07:36.340 triceratops and stuff. I don't think you can see it actually in the shot. That's okay. I'll grab it.

01:07:43.820 See? Made up. No one knows that these spikes existed. And so this cat, if it were drawn as the

01:07:52.000 artists draw dinosaurs, yeah, it would look like that. But it doesn't. It looks like a cat.

01:07:56.240 Swans. Very scary. And yet that's not what they look like. An elephant. If it didn't have, like,

01:08:05.740 it's big head. There are many like this. If you look up the skeleton of an owl, the skeleton of a

01:08:13.680 hippo, you could see how someone would think that looks like a dinosaur. And yet we know what they

01:08:19.640 look like. I'm just saying we don't actually know what these so-called dinosaurs looked like or sounded

01:08:28.240 like. And we are made to believe that this is science. And yes, there are some conspiratorial

01:08:35.260 theories about why. Like, why when you question what dinosaurs looked like or if they existed in the

01:08:41.980 way that they say that they exist as. Like, why people get so angry about this? Why people push back

01:08:48.240 about this? Is it about the age of the earth? Is it about just trusting the science and the

01:08:53.000 scientific institutions that once you start to, like, poke holes in it, you really start to question

01:08:58.260 their authority altogether? I don't know. I'm just saying that the whole thing is pretty sketchy.

01:09:08.700 All right. That's all we got time for today, y'all. We have a few other things to talk about,

01:09:13.980 but maybe we'll save that for a future episode. We've got some good news stories. We can definitely

01:09:18.660 talk about some of those next week because you know what? The world just feels weighty sometimes,

01:09:23.980 but good things are always happening. And remember, in Jesus's presence is fullness of joy. That's what

01:09:30.940 Psalm 16 tells us. And that is always made available to us in Christ. Thank the Lord for that. All right.

01:09:37.920 Thank you guys so much, Relatable Family. We will be back here on Monday.
