00:01:25.840 than being near an Asian woman driving?
00:01:29.040 Welcome to Yes or No.
00:01:45.120 The fabulous battle to discover who knows whom better.
00:01:47.920 My guest today is Reed Joy.
00:01:49.200 How do we play?
00:01:50.000 I will ask Reed a yes or no question.
00:01:51.920 He will select his answer away from my prying eyes.
00:01:54.960 Then I will guess how he answered.
00:01:57.440 If I guess correctly, I get a point.
00:01:59.520 If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point.
00:02:01.680 No matter what, I will drink.
00:02:03.840 Then it's Reed's turn.
00:02:05.440 Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand.
00:02:07.920 Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
00:02:10.240 The stakes could be higher.
00:02:13.040 Let's get started.
00:02:14.160 Reed, thank you for being here.
00:02:16.320 We can smoke.
00:02:17.280 Yes, sir.
00:02:17.840 Because you're a real cigar man.
00:02:19.040 You're an actual cigar man.
00:02:20.320 Just like you.
00:02:21.200 That's right.
00:02:21.520 That's why I said yes to this show.
00:02:23.120 I was like, first thing I want to know,
00:02:24.720 can I smoke a cigar?
00:02:25.280 You get in the Mayflowers.
00:02:26.480 How did you sneak that lighter onto your airplane?
00:02:29.600 I don't know what you're talking about.
00:02:32.880 Okay, so what you're smoking right now is the Mayflower Dusk,
00:02:36.160 a magnificent cigar for Thanksgiving and Christmas,
00:02:39.040 if I do say so myself.
00:02:40.080 And we're smoking the same thing.
00:02:41.200 We're smoking the same cigar.
00:02:43.360 And I want your honest opinion.
00:02:50.880 You got the retro hail.
00:02:52.080 You're breathing a little out the nose.
00:02:54.080 So it's a Nicaraguan wrapper.
00:02:56.720 Close.
00:02:57.840 Filler?
00:02:58.320 Ecuador Habano Nicaraguan filler.
00:03:00.160 So you're right on the filler.
00:03:01.280 Because I was like, it's strong, but it's not so strong.
00:03:03.760 So I had to choose a guest wrapper, but it's a filler, huh?
00:03:06.800 Yes.
00:03:07.200 So you got the red.
00:03:08.400 It's a Nicaraguan blend on the filler.
00:03:10.160 The wrapper is Ecuador Habano.
00:03:12.000 And the binder, which throws people off, is Sumatra.
00:03:14.560 Sumatra.
00:03:15.120 Sumatra.
00:03:15.680 Yes.
00:03:16.080 Very weird.
00:03:16.640 I know.
00:03:17.040 Since you are a man of great taste, what's the wager?
00:03:21.040 If I lose, what do I have to do?
00:03:23.440 50 push-ups.
00:03:24.320 50 push-ups.
00:03:25.200 50 push-ups.
00:03:25.440 In like a week?
00:03:27.120 Today.
00:03:28.000 In a day.
00:03:29.120 All at once?
00:03:29.840 All at once?
00:03:30.320 Or do I get like, is it like I do one, take a smoke break, go back, do my second, push-up?
00:03:37.920 In two sets.
00:03:39.200 In two sets.
00:03:40.160 Okay.
00:03:40.320 Wow.
00:03:40.640 Wow.
00:03:41.600 I got to do 50.
00:03:43.040 Then you, because you're like a big fit guy.
00:03:45.280 How about you have to do 100?
00:03:47.440 Okay.
00:03:48.160 All right, yeah, all right, now we're talking.
00:03:50.080 Okay.
00:03:50.640 I go first.
00:03:51.840 This is actually a very good cigar.
00:03:53.680 Thank you.
00:03:54.480 Yeah, it's not plugged at all.
00:03:55.760 Thank you.
00:03:56.240 Yeah, I try, we try for great consistency in the actual rolling of them, on the thighs
00:04:02.240 of virgins, obviously, and he's trying to pick up.
00:04:05.600 She really liked that joke.
00:04:07.840 Who's the virgin here?
00:04:09.040 That fellow over there.
00:04:09.920 No, no, no, it's not.
00:04:10.720 Okay.
00:04:11.520 First question.
00:04:12.160 Is insulting an Italian woman's cooking still less dangerous than being near an Asian woman
00:04:19.600 driving?
00:04:23.360 Now, I have to guess how you would answer.
00:04:27.200 Is an Italian woman's cooking less dangerous than being near an Asian woman driving?
00:04:31.360 Okay, you have to put your answer there on the...
00:04:33.200 I already did.
00:04:33.600 You already did?
00:04:35.280 Just instant.
00:04:35.920 Because I know you.
00:04:37.120 You're good at reading people, so I have to time it while you're reading it.
00:04:39.920 Okay.
00:04:40.320 While you're not looking at it.
00:04:41.280 Hmm.
00:04:41.840 Wow.
00:04:42.560 The funny thing is, I don't know you at all.
00:04:45.520 I got it right.
00:04:46.160 Oh!
00:04:47.440 Why?
00:04:48.320 Because a spatula is less dangerous than a car.
00:04:50.000 I drive with my aunt pretty consistently, and I can't think of a more dangerous thing
00:04:55.680 to do, because she's got road rage, and my aunt's going to wash this.
00:05:01.440 I'm not going to hear the end of it, but yeah, there should be like a public warning when
00:05:06.640 my aunt drives, just like, hey, just, you know, keep it paid.
00:05:09.840 Clear the roads.
00:05:10.640 Like a presidential motorcade.
00:05:11.840 Okay, you're up.
00:05:14.880 Should there be a weight limit to be eligible for SNAP benefits?
00:05:20.400 You have to guess how I would answer.
00:05:21.680 Is that a boomerang?
00:05:26.080 That was pretty cool.
00:05:29.120 You know how much I had to practice to do that?
00:05:33.280 Okay, what do you think I would say?
00:05:35.520 I already put it.
00:05:36.400 I didn't even guess it yet.
00:05:38.640 Okay, was he right or wrong?
00:05:40.240 I got it wrong.
00:05:41.280 No, there shouldn't be a weight limit.
00:05:42.400 Ah, dang it.
00:05:43.040 There shouldn't be a weight limit.
00:05:43.600 I don't want to sound like a huge lib here or anything like that, but you know what the
00:05:48.240 libs would say?
00:05:48.800 No.
00:05:49.200 No.
00:05:49.440 What the libs would say is, no, actually poor people are fatter because they don't have
00:05:53.600 access to like all the healthy foods and stuff and they just eat McDonald's all day, whatever.
00:05:58.480 And in fairness, I would have held that opinion five years ago, but now it's flipped and all the
00:06:03.280 crunchy people are on the right and all the like pro-GMO, like corporate food people are on the left.
00:06:08.000 And so to be consistent, I need to completely change my view.
00:06:11.120 And that's why I will let the fatties have snap.
00:06:13.680 I respect that.
00:06:14.320 Thank you.
00:06:14.720 Yes, sir.
00:06:15.200 Thank you.
00:06:15.760 Okay, you're up.
00:06:16.800 I just...
00:06:17.760 No, you're right.
00:06:18.960 Hold on.
00:06:19.520 I'll do the boomerang.
00:06:20.320 Okay.
00:06:20.880 Okay, let's see.
00:06:22.240 Is surviving an overbearing religious upbringing harder than surviving UC Berkeley as a conservative?
00:06:30.160 Oh, that's a great question because I had both.
00:06:32.000 Both.
00:06:33.200 Okay.
00:06:33.840 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:06:35.920 Exactly.
00:06:36.960 So?
00:06:38.720 Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:06:42.000 Ah!
00:06:43.760 Murdered and surviving UC Berkeley as...
00:06:45.360 It didn't come back around.
00:06:51.200 I got it wrong again?
00:06:53.840 Who are you talking to, bro?
00:06:55.840 Nobody.
00:06:57.520 Nobody.
00:06:58.000 um you say no you say surviving a religious upbringing is harder than surviving well why
00:07:04.480 how's that the libs now on campus like antifa will come and throw explosives at you so i went
00:07:10.080 to berkeley during the um uh trump became president and the milo riots yeah yeah at berkeley
00:07:16.540 right so that was probably like the most like dangerous time to be at berkeley but i didn't
00:07:21.220 get hurt but like growing up at in a religious household i got hurt a lot just like spankings
00:07:29.700 but it was good for you or no are you anti anti what corporal punishment yes no but that was like
00:07:37.320 it was more abusive you know yeah okay you want to talk about that yeah okay kind of let's do it
00:07:42.160 because i wondered about i'm like kind of a squish on it i don't you know i'm trad i'm i'm right wing
00:07:47.520 um what was your upbringing like it was uh you know kind of a little bit cafeteria catholic not
00:07:53.080 too not too tough but with a religious foundation okay but still my father was a vicar really yes
00:07:59.400 sir it was a little more and korean you know then a lot did that repel you at all from religion oh
00:08:06.060 absolutely it did like christians today i think what most christians deal with is they're able to
00:08:13.000 understand the love of god but the reverence or the fear of god they struggle with i have it
00:08:17.380 switched around reverence and fear i got it down to a t i understand that but love of god that
00:08:22.920 that's that's you know that's the crux of it for me that's it's also very interesting that way
00:08:27.700 because it's a reminder that no matter what you do no matter like you can plan it perfectly and you
00:08:33.400 you're still your kids are gonna get a little screwed up you're gonna relax you're gonna be
00:08:36.860 missing it's gonna be off balance a little bit because it's a fallen world yeah wow and then so
00:08:41.720 you you rebelled against religion no yes i did i did so up until i was 15 i always thought when i
00:08:48.800 got hit it was my fault it wasn't until i thought for myself at 15 i was like maybe they got something
00:08:54.940 that they haven't dealt with maybe it's not every beating you get maybe it's not because it's something
00:08:59.240 you did maybe it's something they haven't dealt with and then once i made that realization that
00:09:03.200 really ticked me off yeah and then fell away from religion and then i fell back into it
00:09:09.380 within the last four years how old are you 29 yeah i was kind of like that i was kind of i didn't get
00:09:16.800 smacked i probably spanked like twice as a kid but so i didn't really have that but i did rebel like 13
00:09:22.260 came back about 23 so would you so you would you would raise your kids religious oh yeah yeah would
00:09:28.040 you give your kid a spanking or no i would but you would not not what i went through yeah you know
00:09:33.220 there's i think there's a fine line and a very fine line but my parents didn't tread it that well
00:09:39.080 yeah i got some stories man you got you've got yes you you've converted from the korean style of
00:09:46.220 corporal punishment not to make light of it to the american it's a little looser yeah yeah yeah you know
00:09:51.200 take your licks yeah okay all right that's right all right is the best way to know if you've
00:09:55.760 entertain an angel is if they look like a black guy
00:09:58.260 that was meant for you they might come back around they might boomerang
00:10:06.380 yes oh i meant to click yes he meant to listen to this listen to this oh oopsie redo no
00:10:17.760 don't he goes in my ear he says did he actually no he doesn't get the point i get the point for
00:10:21.840 that uh yes well so you agree though angels often appear as black guys you want to hear the story or
00:10:28.000 do you already know the story no i have i have stories about this though what's your you have
00:10:32.120 stories about this yes do you do you have black guy angel story you have black guy angel stories yes
00:10:37.720 multiple for me one time i was on the subway i'll keep them short one time i'm on the subway in new
00:10:43.000 york in new york i'm going from uh i don't know call it 42nd street to no it wasn't that it was
00:10:48.740 gosh it was like 33rd on the 6th train it was like 33rd to 28th queen in okay so i was a lot of a lot
00:10:56.240 of asians in queens i so i'm anyway i'm on 33rd to 28th but i'm on the 6th line going from further up
00:11:01.840 to further down guy gets on at 33rd with a woman both black sits down next to me i'm kind of returning
00:11:08.420 to religion i'm having kind of numinous experience it's all weird he strikes up a conversation i'm just
00:11:13.080 trying to read my book that's exactly wow yeah go ahead he goes hey uh what do you do and i was
00:11:18.640 like at the time i was an actor in new york i said i'm an actor but what does that mean you know i don't
00:11:22.100 know it's like it means i'm unemployed most of the time was it gabriel you no it was actually it was
00:11:27.280 odd he he says to me he goes what's your name and i said uh michael he goes oh i'm michael too
00:11:33.100 we're angels i said what yeah and then he goes well yeah don't worry about that don't worry about
00:11:38.820 that acting thing you're going to be great 28th street comes he gets up doesn't look at the woman
00:11:44.200 he came on with gets off the train and if you're not a new yorker you might not appreciate nobody
00:11:49.060 gets on the train to go from 33rd to 28th or 28th to 33rd it's a very short you would just walk you
00:11:54.660 would so it didn't make any sense another time i'm walking also in midtown east actually and this guy
00:11:59.920 comes up to me i had this i won't go into the whole story but i had this thought on my mind
00:12:02.760 this guy walks up to me and i walk fast walks up starts talking to me about the thing i was thinking
00:12:08.480 about and then just walks away both black guys what is your black guy angel story wait wait what
00:12:14.060 were you thinking about i was like so i'm what i guess a short version of it is i'm like in my early
00:12:18.600 20s i'm returning to the church i'm thinking about all these sins and i'm thinking about lust in
00:12:23.620 particular this guy comes up he goes he doesn't even ask me a question he just goes women they'll
00:12:30.340 get you in trouble walks away no again it's like a it's like a funny line that a guy in new york i guess
00:12:35.980 could say it was general enough it was but i was thinking about that at the moment yeah that's so
00:12:41.500 cool man what so anyway what's yours sure four years ago i was going i was probably in the lowest
00:12:47.540 point of my life right thinking about self-deletion and all that type of stuff and um lost a lot of
00:12:54.500 people my career was on the line and i was taking care of this homeless lady i mean every every aspect
00:13:00.080 of my life it seemed like god was taken away and i was praying to god like why how much more do you
00:13:04.920 need to take away from me and then god replied how much more do i have to take away from you before
00:13:08.400 you realize i'm the only thing that you had to begin with and i was like okay i got that all right
00:13:13.280 sounds good and i was at a jacuzzi and la fitness just trying to unwind as one does and there's a
00:13:19.680 black guy in there that's it i'm just kidding
00:13:22.700 he's a good looking dude you look angelic yeah yeah i was beyond anti-social at this point i did not
00:13:31.580 want to talk to anybody but this guy comes up to me and the first thing he says to me is you know
00:13:36.500 i have the voice of an angel i was like okay he was like you know what i think you should do i
00:13:44.160 haven't told him anything about what i'm going through yeah just tells me i think you should
00:13:49.140 every morning when you wake up go to a mirror and tell yourself i love you and i'm going to work
00:13:55.920 on loving you better not knowing that in that time i knew that i did not love myself and i did not see
00:14:03.820 myself as god deemed me worthy and so i started doing that right and it actually worked and then
00:14:11.260 years later this this experience totally out of my head i'm not thinking about it at all just i think
00:14:17.340 we're both nerds and so randomly as we do we search google for nerdy stuff and i'm like angelic
00:14:22.760 encounters is there a common theme gabriel comes up and the most common description of gabriel
00:14:27.860 a beautiful black man really yes sir dude that's crazy because i've like brothers over the years
00:14:35.440 like i'll joke about it with my wife we'll like be like oh yeah we were you know i was at this
00:14:39.400 restaurant there were a ton of angels there we're talking about black guys and we're like all these
00:14:42.620 angels at the restaurant wherever and that is so i don't know that i've ever met i have another
00:14:48.220 friend who who i've experienced these things with but i've never met like a separate person
00:14:52.860 this is the first time i've ever experienced that yeah that's crazy i feel like that has to be god
00:14:58.780 there's no there's no way this is a coincidence there are no mere coincidences
00:15:01.620 okay now it's my turn this is a video prompt
00:15:05.940 so the question is thank you for laughing that would have been that would have been painful
00:15:34.220 so the question is the question is if people can be born introverted does that also mean people
00:15:43.820 can be born gay i have to guess how you would answer if people can be born introverted does that
00:15:50.420 mean people can be born gay
00:15:52.040 so you think people can be born gay
00:15:58.120 yeah what do you mean by that so i don't remember ever choosing to be straight
00:16:05.800 i think i've always just liked women and i have a lot of gay friends and the way that they talk about
00:16:14.280 it i i sincerely believe that they have had the same experience i've had just with the same sex
00:16:20.120 but i've also seen people that clearly chose to do it because they told me verbatim that i'm choosing
00:16:25.400 this lifestyle so i think it can be both but i do think at least some of them are actually born that
00:16:31.540 way yeah i you know i not not to sound like a huge lib i mean i look obviously there's a lot of social
00:16:37.080 conditioning here because if you go to prison you know it seems like a lot of people discover they
00:16:41.300 were born gay in prison and they probably would not have otherwise uh and uh yeah nurture versus
00:16:46.960 nature there's some there's a lot of that uh sexual trauma is associated with all of that
00:16:51.560 plenty plenty of it or like going to public school in 2025 is you know severely associated with that
00:16:56.760 but but it would seem totally plausible to me that people can be born with certain inclinations whether
00:17:04.000 that comes from hormones or something like that like you know because then sometimes people say
00:17:07.960 well god wouldn't have made you that way you know you wouldn't you're not born imperfect but i think
00:17:12.340 well i don't know everybody everybody's born a little bit imperfect right you know people are
00:17:16.460 missing everybody's stuff yeah so it so obviously there's the like prison or british boarding school
00:17:23.220 kind of gay which is entirely a matter of nurture but i don't know there are probably some people like
00:17:27.780 it reminds me of the verse you know the the power of the holy spirit is made perfect in our weakness
00:17:32.040 our weaknesses are gift from god gifts from god so that we can rely on him more
00:17:36.200 but i've i've found that the most productive conversations i've had with lgbtq has never been
00:17:44.860 with shoving the bible down their throat but rather this one story and i can't tell you how many times
00:17:50.840 i've had this same conversation and then these people become more interested in christianity because
00:17:56.400 they've been fed a you're going to hell x y and z sin sin sin but the one i always tell them is
00:18:03.780 the pharisees they bring a woman caught in the act of adultery to jesus trying to catch him in the
00:18:10.000 and they bring her before him and they say rabbi we've caught this woman in the act of adultery and
00:18:16.220 by the law of moses we have the right to stone her to death what say you and then jesus writes
00:18:20.740 something on the ground and looks to them and says he who is without sin may cast the first stone
00:18:25.400 and a lot of people think that the moral of that story is that we're all sinners so who are we to
00:18:29.360 judge one another which is true but the one thing that i think a lot of people miss is that the one
00:18:35.220 person who had every right to kill that lady right there right then and there chose not to
00:18:40.680 and instead chose to love on that person and when i tell that story every single person that's lgbtq said
00:18:48.540 i never thought of that way and you can see warmth in their approach to christianity i was never there
00:18:56.160 it's led to beautiful conversations asking me to pray for them i have a crazy story about that i was
00:19:01.740 like god i feel like you want me to pray for this person i don't know so you let me know and as soon
00:19:07.160 as i said that prayer this person that was an lgbtq said i'm gonna ask you something but i'm afraid to
00:19:12.420 ask you i was like what is that can you pray for me yeah what do you think he wrote people sometimes
00:19:19.480 he lied over the fact that he you know they ask him rabbi what should we do and he writes in the
00:19:25.980 ground and then he says let him who is without sin cast the first stone what does he write do you
00:19:30.260 think i've heard that he just wrote the ten commandments but i've never thought about it that deeply
00:19:36.860 you know that's actually a good answer i hadn't thought of it in those terms but one of the popular
00:19:41.560 kind of pious traditions around that is that he wrote he wrote all of their sins
00:19:45.940 oh that must have took a while right well the thing is that would have been the same thing
00:19:51.600 in many ways right you know if you like when i when i go into confession and i do an examination
00:19:56.040 of conscience i'm going through the ten commandments okay did i violate this commandment did i violate
00:19:59.760 this commandment did i buy and all the different whether a thousand different ways you you could and
00:20:03.200 likely do violate them but just you know if you because it it seems implausible if he just says
00:20:08.840 well let him who is without sin cast the first stone if that's all that he said you wonder if the
00:20:15.660 guys would say huh what yeah yeah sure i'm without sin he throws those first stone yeah whatever
00:20:19.620 but once you start seeing wrath lust pride what seven deadly sins or the ten commandments or what
00:20:26.900 then always you see oh yikes maybe and there are people i remember there's one time in college
00:20:31.080 there was one of these like evangelical like you know has the board on his chest you know screaming
00:20:37.260 about fire and brimstone kind of guys but i do think he had a spiritual gift because he's he
00:20:42.480 we're all walking through is after class had let us there oh no god bless him he was there's a place
00:20:47.200 for that too yeah totally because he it was amazing he was just standing there the cops were protecting
00:20:51.220 him from the students and he's just pointing at each of them and calling out their sins and at yale
00:20:57.620 uh 97 of the students are gay you know but he wasn't calling everywhere there you say look it's just
00:21:03.420 the odds are in your favor if you just say i went to berkeley so i'm very similar yeah 96 but it wasn't he
00:21:09.380 he was he was pointing and and he was right he was actually precise about hitting and i thought
00:21:18.260 gay gay gay gay gay fat gay gay are you serious no no no it was kind of it was like it was like
00:21:26.000 sodomy uh fornication gluttony whatever you know whatever it was and and he was right in the for the
00:21:32.360 people that he was pointing to that i saw that i was around he was right and i remember thinking this
00:21:37.260 guy's a little he's clearly a little unhinged or you know he's maybe he's super hinged and but he's
00:21:41.860 you know he's more of a john the baptist figure yes and i said but he might have a spiritual gift and
00:21:46.100 i went back i talked to my my roommate and i said he was raised kind of mega church evangelical cradle
00:21:51.180 catholic actually later returned to the catholic church but he you know the evangelicals are a little
00:21:55.360 more open to talking about these things and a lot of you think me as a protestant you'll see me in
00:21:59.200 heaven i hope so no but like honestly well i think uh you are valid if you're validly baptized
00:22:05.480 then you're christian in a in the broad sense of it but do i have to be baptized by someone from the
00:22:10.300 catholic church or can't just be baptized no as long as you're baptized in the trinitarian formula
00:22:14.100 with the okay with the proper matter you know like water it can't be in root beer say but if it's in
00:22:18.420 water uh that's a valid baptism there is a fear though this is my fear for my protestant friends
00:22:24.180 is that uh i do think you have to be in a state of grace and i think our lord gives us the sacraments
00:22:31.440 to uh to remind us that the flesh matters and historicity matters and you know he's incarnate
00:22:36.560 in a particular time in history he gives the apostles the power to forgive and to retain sins
00:22:41.420 he institutes the eucharist in my reading uh and the traditional reading of the last supper and uh
00:22:47.360 you know he institutes the sacraments and he says in john six you know whoever eats the flesh of
00:22:53.840 the son of man who drinks his blood has life in him if you do not eat the flesh of the son of man
00:22:57.500 and drink his blood you have no life in you and you know my flesh is real food and my blood is real
00:23:01.420 drink and everyone goes away except for peter and he says to whom shall we go and the disciples
00:23:05.020 and the apostles rather and so i do have this fear i'm not saying that you know protestants are going
00:23:10.500 to hell or something like that i'm not i'm not going that far but i i am saying i think our lord
00:23:14.280 gives us sacraments for a reason and i do think in our incarnate bodies what is a sacrament but the
00:23:19.460 meaning of the physical and the metaphysical and i think it's very helpful for us and i think he does
00:23:24.360 it for a reason and i do that this is my thought of the spiritual danger of a of religion that is
00:23:31.180 absent authority and sacraments is that it it that it puts us in spiritual danger that's my real
00:23:36.780 concern no doubt yeah there's a there's a delicate balance that i think you kind of pointed to where
00:23:42.740 like in god blessing everything with imperfection that i found so people call me a closeted catholic
00:23:48.440 which means i'm anglican yeah and um correct me if i'm wrong but i believe you and i would agree
00:23:54.620 that protestants if there's one thing we lack it's uh reverence yeah i mean japan it's a broad brush
00:24:02.500 but yes there is less a sense of reverence awe and wonder in in the liturgy where there is
00:24:07.520 but there's also that delicate balance of like making sure that the sacraments or the liturgy doesn't
00:24:13.260 become your god like the pharisees where like it's just too workspace and there has to be a healthy
00:24:18.340 balance certainly with the liturgy i agree in catholics i'm a trad you know kind of tradty
00:24:22.500 so i go to latin mass and i love the smells and bells and i think it's all actually very important
00:24:25.920 but yes you don't want to make an idol of the liturgy with the sacrament well it's very clear
00:24:29.380 that you do it because it makes you feel closer to god yes it lifts your eyes up to heaven i think
00:24:34.260 but it's sacramental sometimes people could do you don't want to make an idol out of that
00:24:37.840 with the sacrament though especially the blessed sacrament the eucharist
00:24:42.020 i do treat the the blessed sacrament as god because i i really believe that's god yeah
00:24:47.640 and as you should it's yes it's that's one of those where i think are we having like a
00:24:52.780 transubstantiation yeah i believe obviously transubstantiation and i think it's one of
00:24:57.820 these where you know some many of my protestant friends i say well why do i need all that and i
00:25:01.280 think well i wouldn't approach it that way i would just think you know if it is plausible that the
00:25:06.900 bread really is like his flesh in a meaningful way and there are all sorts of good philosophical
00:25:11.420 arguments for this and theological arguments but if that's true then i would think of it less as like
00:25:15.660 i have to go do this you get to yeah maybe this is an amazing grace that that christ has given us
00:25:21.380 and like again like maybe it's worth trying it out right you know intellectually and maybe considering
00:25:27.940 you know yeah all right you're up yes sir oh it's a video prompt do we watch the video first yes okay
00:25:35.260 oh this is just regular shorts this is how i walk through the airport this is how i walk through
00:25:40.720 the airport with these shorts on i have my robe on we were getting ready to board the plane and uh
00:25:49.220 the lady at the front desk she stopped me and said you're not getting on a plane like that
00:25:53.740 so i looked at her and i said like what she said with those shorts i said everybody here has
00:25:59.900 on shorts what's the what's the problem with my shorts should anything less than business casual
00:26:04.920 be kicked off an airplane in a tire like this woman should carry jail time
00:26:09.140 well are you answering this seriously or to be funny let's grant to the author of the question
00:26:16.140 mild hyperbole but only mild hyperbole
00:26:19.760 got it wrong got it wrong yes i'm offended actually when well by that obviously and that
00:26:30.280 woman probably should go to jail for many other reasons really yeah i'm sure i i want to i'm not
00:26:36.460 saying stoning i'm not saying stoning i know we were talking about that earlier but maybe some jail
00:26:41.100 time fashion jail fashion jail uh in in a literal prison but i travel a lot by plane i'm sure you travel
00:26:47.780 a lot by plane and it used to be the case that you get on an airplane and people really dressed this
00:26:52.940 was before i was born and then even when i was a kid people still dressed and you know maybe not suit
00:26:57.740 and tie but they still dressed semi-decently and now where does that come from where does dressing
00:27:03.020 properly come for you where you're always well dressed i try to because to dress well it doesn't
00:27:10.620 you don't need to be a fop you don't need to be like a dandy or something like that but just to wear
00:27:14.180 like a shirt that's not totally rumbled and like a jacket if you go to dinner or something a fop a fop
00:27:18.880 a dandy it's a yeah a wop is a racial slender and when a wop wears a silly like top hat then he
00:27:25.580 would be a foppy wop but uh i think to to dress decently conveys respect for yourself and for other
00:27:34.000 people yeah and so i don't one like women should not be allowed outside in the lululemon tiny you
00:27:40.740 know like really tight leggings and stuff because that is bad for me that's really bad like i'm not
00:27:46.340 saying you have to wear a burka but like come on ladies it's tough for guys enough maintaining
00:27:49.780 custody of the eyes don't wear like underwear in public and that's the first part but then the
00:27:54.420 second part even beyond you know arousing someone what kind of society do we want to live in do we
00:27:59.820 all want to be in our pajamas all day do we all want to wear like gray drab clothing in some dystopian
00:28:03.980 novel or do we want to just dress in a way that's respectful you don't have to wear coat and tails
00:28:08.900 all you know all the time but i think standards are good and makes and actually make everyone
00:28:14.960 happier i would agree it's just when i when i think about that i think i think of when jesus said
00:28:22.180 it's better to enter heaven blind than to burn it you know so to pluck your eye carve out your eye
00:28:27.980 yeah my interpretation of that was that it's a lot harder to ask the world to change
00:28:33.880 than for you to change yourself yeah you know and so instead of asking that woman to dress properly
00:28:40.440 maybe just don't look but it's not hard to ask that woman to dress properly in the sense that
00:28:44.780 well they literally kicked her off the flight and i don't think they should have done that
00:28:48.140 why not it was easy to do it to your point it was easy enough to do it and since we have had
00:28:53.300 unless she smelled that's unforgivable she might have that as well i mean these these vices go hand
00:28:58.000 in hand but she was in a bathrobe so she probably bathed maybe when did she launder that bathrobe i don't
00:29:03.100 know i how does she all i have is the evidence that you have for that she is not a meticulous
00:29:06.960 person generally i'm not sure have you seen the shades have i seen the what the shades the shades
00:29:11.320 if anything that was a meticulous decision the shades oh you didn't see your shades was she
00:29:15.820 where i actually didn't get so what were you looking at i i just looked right out of her eyes
00:29:22.580 well this is it's sort of like it's kind of like being like hey don't michael don't think about
00:29:26.000 zebras don't think about zebras don't think about zebras this is a free country i'll think about
00:29:31.000 what are you thinking about right and i i just think like to bring it back to religion i'm with
00:29:35.700 thomas aquinas in as much as thomas oh on everything yeah really yeah but but aquinas fascinating
00:29:41.780 aquinas is asked in a in an ideal regime should should we um eliminate prostitution should we
00:29:47.880 outlaw prostitution and he very curiously he confounds the really hard rigid people and puritans
00:29:54.200 because he says well not necessarily because you should certainly circumscribe it you should
00:29:59.200 endeavor to get rid of prostitution but not everyone in a polity is of equal virtue yeah and
00:30:05.440 so if you if you push he was a neoliberal he was yeah yeah that might be the first time
00:30:10.140 thomas aquinas has been called a neolib but if you try to push people too hard you might snap them you
00:30:14.660 might make the problem worse they might be convulsed with lust and so in there might be a world in which
00:30:18.960 a small red light district is actually better at a certain period of time than trying to get rid of
00:30:24.000 prostitution overnight and that's kind of how i feel about these standards like we have had many
00:30:28.760 times for the majority of air travel people have not worn pajamas on airplanes and now people do
00:30:34.080 wear pajamas and that lady like very literally wore pajamas because it was the clothing you wear in your
00:30:38.640 bedroom in your bathroom i think it was also depends on which airline she chose like feel spirit
00:30:42.720 that was spirit absolutely that was spirit then why kick her off that was yeah right that doesn't
00:30:48.860 fly on delta it's our brand that doesn't yeah that come on now listen i what we're talking about is
00:30:55.820 restoring some balance and i think very good we need to restore some balance of nature we all know
00:31:01.840 that we should be eating more fruits and vegetables who's actually doing it that's the hard part

00:33:52.340 for the rapid fire round three questions 30 seconds no time to outthink each other let's take it away
00:34:00.720 wait i go first okay is it morally acceptable for christian actors to perform romantic relationships
00:34:07.920 on camera you would say yes i would we talk about that later this rapid fire in your opinion is it
00:34:15.000 more likely that tiktok is simply built to maximize profit by feeding users the most compelling content
00:34:18.900 possible rather than being an intentionally designed weapon used by the chinese government
00:34:22.160 the cia or the deep state for spying and mind control propaganda so tiktok's just about making
00:34:26.780 money it's not about pushing propaganda from bad actors
00:34:29.680 ah you're so shoot all right you said yeah i think it's i think it's propaganda
00:34:34.680 many critics accuse michael of being a hypocrite and it's got nothing to do with his politics
00:34:44.820 it's because he's out here preaching discipline while being a butter soft guinea who writes this
00:34:49.020 this is so offensive a butter soft i meant it to be this is complimentary yeah yeah hold on
00:34:54.620 it's because he's a butter soft guinea who hasn't cared about lifting any large weight since he stopped
00:35:00.340 pushing chris christie in the primaries you're gonna say yes i got it wrong ah man shoot i might be
00:35:10.320 i'm like might be losing now okay they also call me you know why they call me a hypocrite
00:35:14.520 the chief criticism i get on this is because i i promote cigars and i have smoked cigars for 20
00:35:20.120 years and i have a cigar company and i don't like the old sin spinach you know i'm talking about
00:35:25.400 left-handed cigarettes you know what i mean talking about the peruvian parsley the old california cumin
00:35:31.020 you know what i mean the devil's lettuce i'm talking about pot
00:35:33.940 they call me a hypocrite i don't think it's hypocritical they're different things have you
00:35:40.700 ever played the devil i have played the devil actually i did i feel like you'd make a good
00:35:44.980 devil that might is that a compliment you got charm all right i'll take that you know what i mean
00:35:51.780 yeah i have played the devil it was actually one of my favorite roles i ever played yeah i want to
00:35:55.380 play the devil so bad yeah it's pretty it's pretty fun you don't want to be too strong i've never met
00:36:02.060 the devil i did interview or a demon has met the devil uh i i think i've because when we say double
00:36:08.080 we mean the big guy right yeah okay have you met one of the smaller guys i definitely have gotten
00:36:14.520 glimpses of the demonic and i may have heard a demon one time but i'm not sure i i a couple times
00:36:21.220 have had sleep paralysis which could be a a purely physical uh phenomenon there was one occasion in
00:36:28.140 which i think it might have been more than just physical and i heard i think i heard a demon but
00:36:33.220 i'm not totally confident so i don't want to want to talk about it well no it was just one i mean
00:36:37.580 that's the story i woke i woke up one time i was in my bed in la la which is gomorrah by the sea as
00:36:41.700 you well know babylon babylon sleep paralysis for those who haven't experienced it is when you're
00:36:46.480 you're awake but you can't move but you're conscious and you're away and you're you're not exactly
00:36:50.380 dreaming but sometimes you can hear things or see things or and i and i've heard harrowing stories
00:36:55.740 of this you rarely have good sleep paralysis i noticed no one ever has sleep paralysis and it's
00:37:00.020 like the ice cream man giving you a popsicle uh and i heard ice cream man giving him a popsicle
00:37:05.600 yeah which is out of his nature handsome dude holy yeah
00:37:08.780 wait is that handsome is he you are too yeah that is that are you auditioning to play the devil
00:37:18.700 is that what this is is this uh have you have you met the devil the devil no but i've i've seen
00:37:25.260 some demons i've seen a demon once how i was uh with my friend group and there was one that was
00:37:32.540 clearly going through a really tough time and my friends uh decided to leave in the living room and
00:37:37.660 so it was just me and this person and i was just like washing some dishes right and then they go read
00:37:41.840 yeah and i look up right and for about one to two seconds it wasn't that person's face it was just
00:37:48.740 like like a goat like an evil goat just for about two seconds and then went right back to her face
00:37:54.620 and i was like whoa so do you because you know the kind of traditional view of these things is that
00:38:01.200 there are different ways that demons try to mess with us and the most the clearest way is they just
00:38:05.540 try to tempt us and then sometimes they you know vex us and they obsess us and other and then the i think
00:38:11.400 the most common way that the devil approaches the individual is through sympathy they understand
00:38:16.700 what you're going through like michael that's hard i'm sorry about it yeah let me pour you a drink man
00:38:22.100 yeah tell me about it yeah man exactly to make you laugh a little bit you want to have some fun
00:38:29.560 you know just let off some steam brother like that i interviewed an exorcist uh father rehill
00:38:35.320 and he mentioned that he's met the devil twice and one time the devil did exactly that he was he was
00:38:41.280 going out too much he was working in wall street and he was he said his father is upsetting his life
00:38:46.000 and so he has he's reverting to the church and he was talking to a priest in a confession priest
00:38:51.340 basically gave him a way to stop drinking even as he continued to have to do these business deals
00:38:56.080 and uh as he walks out of the church there's a guy in new york and it's right down actually where i
00:39:00.960 used to live in new york in the financial district and a church where i've confessed and he walks out
00:39:05.880 and this handsome looking dude is there and he walks right it was him it was him actually it was
00:39:10.820 him yeah and he no he walks over to him and in new york people don't really like look stop and look at
00:39:15.480 each other all that much this guy's looking right out and walks over grabs him by the arm and says hey
00:39:19.160 buddy let's go get a drink and father rehill not yet a priest it's like terrified bolts goes a block
00:39:28.200 or two up to his apartment right in the area looks down the guy's staring up looking right at him
00:39:32.860 laughing you think well that's pretty persuasive you know i'm pretty sure yeah so do you think
00:39:37.060 your friend was was possessed well funny enough in the catholic literature there's levels of
00:39:41.700 possession yes right that's why i was kind of minor complete i think she was just being tormented
00:39:46.460 yeah spooky uh you're up
00:39:52.000 solving depression isn't that complicated
00:39:58.640 correct ah yeah i'm not saying it's easy but it's simple
00:40:06.040 yeah yeah yeah and you got to make sure like a lot of other things are just online first
00:40:11.440 is legalism online slowing the spread of christianity more than antinomianism oh
00:40:18.320 hmm so do you think legalism is that prominent online i don't right i think what my very evangelical
00:40:26.820 producer means is you know any kind of i i think he means any focus on like the rules or sin at all
00:40:37.260 basically as the you know because legalism and antinomianism would be two opposite errors
00:40:41.300 i think he means maybe a focus on rules and sin versus kind of brushing aside and saying oh it's
00:40:47.220 all good it's all fine there's no sin don't worry about it no no yeah that's no and i properly
00:40:52.780 interpreted my confused producer okay oh boy japan deserved to be nuked
00:40:58.220 nuked
00:40:59.060 it's still falling
00:41:02.520 okay if you're trying to be humorous you'd say yes but i think if you were
00:41:08.180 deserved who are we to say
00:41:12.980 they did deserve it though i'm not saying i support it the reason i would say they deserve to be nuked is
00:41:19.180 because we all deserve to be nuked because we we all deserve death that's what we get and it's only
00:41:23.780 through god's grace that's actually pretty good how you like that that was yeah that was no we
00:41:28.840 have to look at the count that's an inside joke good that was good yeah because i don't i i have
00:41:35.080 i have kind of complex feelings on the nuking of of hiroshima and nagasaki and i i kind of think
00:41:41.000 it's not morally justified correct however in the grand scheme of things we all deserve death
00:41:45.280 bit of a cop-out but it's a little bit of a cop-out but i got my point uh okay it's time
00:41:48.780 for the final round the prompt will be read we will both lock in our answers then move our glasses
00:41:56.080 to yes or no good looking guys see if we can why are there so many good looking guys
00:42:00.260 if we can read each other's minds this round is worth double points it could change everything wow
00:42:07.060 so the score it's tightened up michael zero and read negative two this is a this is the kind of game
00:42:13.940 where you may basically just want to break even okay uh so then is the book of james
00:42:19.860 a solid defense of protestantism in what way my thoughts exactly is the book of james a solid
00:42:28.580 defense of protestantism is james your favorite book too i don't know if i'd say my favorite but
00:42:34.360 it's up there it's definitely up there i love i love the book of james i love it you too really
00:42:38.460 i memorized it really yeah no way you're shocked okay hold on i'm not saying anything else until
00:42:44.160 we lock in our answers okay
00:42:46.760 no yeah obviously yeah you love the book why do you love the book of james i think it is the handbook
00:42:55.980 for christians like straight to the point if you want to be a christian a lot of your questions will
00:43:03.040 be answered in this book great yeah that's a great view of it because i i do like it's funny
00:43:08.140 it's a question hand too and it show it's like it's like hemiway wrote it you know there's there's
00:43:13.020 no it's pretty blunt it's very direct yes i you know it's funny because i sometimes i i figured the
00:43:18.900 question would be is the book of james a defense of catholicism because it mentions the importance
00:43:23.140 of works as you know following from faith and all that but so the way it was written it was an
00:43:28.280 easier answer yeah but yes i and i you're right there is a kind of maybe maybe it's a kind of
00:43:33.920 jewish bluntness that you're getting out of james you know it's just like hey guys here's how it is
00:43:38.640 i'm not ink you know you read the gospel of john and you know this is the most high-minded theology you
00:43:44.320 can imagine is john your favorite gospel yes so you like a high christianism yes yeah um i love john
00:43:50.880 i do yes of course of course this is we're so close we can actually almost finish each other's
00:43:56.160 sandwiches all right we'll try it again in the next episode that but i love but it's like you
00:44:00.120 read these books uh luke you know you get these beautiful images these very vivid pictures you
00:44:04.920 know and all but yeah with james it's just like hey hey this is it uh-uh yeah that's good yeah i
00:44:12.820 once a great priest friend of mine pointed out he said michael uh i think you might have written this
00:44:17.820 in a book or something he said if anyone ever tells you that they understand the book of the
00:44:23.400 apocalypse you know the book of revelations uh you can be certain that is a crazy person
00:44:28.320 it's like quantum physics it's like quantum physics it's a little less rules like nobody
00:44:34.180 knows what they're talking about all right what's your favorite passage from james
00:44:38.560 uh well probably faith without works is dead uh followed by man is justified by works and not by
00:44:46.820 faith alone which is a very now you know just the meaning of justification there is very important
00:44:52.480 and there are like disagreements i think there's misunderstanding about what is meant by
00:44:56.900 justification you know between various sort of sects and religious views talk about it well
00:45:01.640 meaning where would you land because the because the general protestant uh interpretation of that
00:45:07.180 is taking sola fide as you know a doctrinal matter of faith um you know the catholic rejoinder to
00:45:13.920 that is luther added the word faith alone or added the word alone to the bible um and the only time
00:45:19.680 that the phrase faith alone appears is actually in james and in and there it says just a man is
00:45:24.360 justified by works and not by faith alone but this is not to say that man saves himself this is not to
00:45:29.720 say that we have a pelagian religion the proof of our faith the proof of our pudding is in our works
00:45:34.240 yes and god you know god's grace is entirely what comes down the mountain and reaches out to you
00:45:39.760 but there's a recognition that you do have the free will to cooperate with that grace or or not to
00:45:45.420 you know you have that freedom as our first ancestors did yeah okay your last one last one
00:45:50.600 you read it okay this could change everything hold on before we get to that i wanted to since
00:45:55.600 you loved what's what is your favorite passage from james my brothers and sisters whenever you
00:46:00.460 face trials and tribulations of any kind consider it pure joy for you know that the testing of your
00:46:04.760 faith produces endurance and let endurance have its full effect on you making mature and complete
00:46:09.420 but if any of you like anything this is why i love james because i can just say it
00:46:14.100 and it's you wouldn't you wouldn't know it's like a conversation i was coding it but if you'd like
00:46:17.520 anything ask the lord for he gives to all ungrudgingly and graciously and it will be given
00:46:22.240 to you but ask in faith never in doubt for the one who doubts it's like a wave of the sea being
00:46:28.160 driven and tossed by the ocean for the doubter is unstable minded and must not expect to receive
00:46:34.860 anything from the lord it's so great it's it's it's so beautiful yeah yes you're right and there
00:46:42.960 there there is this feeling that you're asking advice from a wise friend or mentor who knows he's
00:46:48.600 like yeah here's how it is but don't misunderstand me and but you know actually hold on let me clarify
00:46:54.060 i already know what you're thinking and let me yes it's so that's beautiful yeah it also touches on
00:46:59.940 the fact that hey when you choose a christian life and it's kind of like when i evangelize people
00:47:06.040 when they say they want to be christian i'm like are you sure because you're asking for a lot right now
00:47:10.880 because you're part of the world right now and it's cushy but when you join this side you're on
00:47:16.920 the enemy's radar and things are going to get tough and you should expect it and then you get
00:47:21.920 like psalm 22 when you're allowed to lament to the lord you know that's that's the beautiful part
00:47:27.180 and james same thing yeah good image too it's kind of like it's like putting your head up above the
00:47:32.380 trenches like are you sure because you got your head below the trenches right now and the bullets are
00:47:36.280 just whizzing by and you're going to die eventually by the way when the enemy troops come and just
00:47:40.140 come in and like pike you with a bayonet and it's a little manipulative too because people want what
00:47:43.680 they can't have yes are you sure you want this buddy you want this it's a lot it's a lot it's
00:47:48.880 really hard it will make you feel heroic yeah yeah but do you want it it's the calm in the storm but
00:47:53.960 there is that storm okay you're up here we go this could change everything ben said to expect the k-pop
00:48:00.120 demon hunters question so this is the last one this has it better be it
00:48:03.560 is k-pop demon hunters okay are you a prophet you know i have an interesting theory
00:48:10.520 it coincides with intelligence and you're intelligent man i have this theory i feel like that god's
00:48:18.540 purpose for gifting not everyone to be intelligent but just some people to be more intelligent than
00:48:24.100 others is that we're given intelligence so that we can go out into the esoteric understand the
00:48:30.300 esoteric but then be able to filter that down for the common it's a full relationship too many
00:48:36.380 intelligent people can understand the esoteric but they're not able to filter it down the example
00:48:41.360 that i would give would be like very like virtuoso music like jacob collier clearly a music savant
00:48:48.280 clearly a music genius but his music isn't for everybody but like someone like um prince yeah you
00:48:55.180 know clearly understood everything there was to be about music but his music anybody can listen to
00:49:01.220 and you come across it and you think i'm feeling something i don't know why that's that filtering
00:49:05.960 down yeah or even even thinking within like traditional orchestration like a john williams
00:49:11.360 you know john williams who's the most important classical-ish musician of our age
00:49:15.800 of our day yeah every everybody can come a john williams tune you know and it's very popular and
00:49:22.440 it and it is quite simple and simple yes he loves that two two factor beat yeah well how how do you
00:49:29.820 because one do you know that you're intelligent that you're smarter than the average i think i have
00:49:34.980 reasonable intelligence but i i i think i'm intelligent enough to know that there are many many
00:49:39.840 many more intelligent people than i but i yeah i agree it's one of a false modesty i think i'm probably
00:49:44.700 reasonably intelligent okay but not but i remember where would you put yourself uh if it was first
00:49:51.120 percentile to 99th percentile use your drink yeah that's okay this is this is first percentile this
00:49:57.740 99th percentile and here's right here on on the count of the yard line on the count of three yeah
00:50:02.240 of how intelligent and you're gonna say how intelligent you think you are i think you are
00:50:06.620 okay i would say i'm okay one one two three right about here i'd say about 75 that's it you're
00:50:14.480 putting me you're putting me at like 95 you're off really stop it go on take an iq test how handsome
00:50:20.120 am i no that's what you're on it all right well that's very kind i appreciate that's very that's
00:50:25.980 very kind but don't think you're gonna butter me up so that i lose the last question because that's
00:50:30.120 that might happen that actually might have happened already okay it's k-pop demon hunters though
00:50:36.140 obviously a crowning achievement of cinema a net negative because it will only feed into the growing
00:50:42.120 ai animate porn that's destroying the minds of young men a crowning achievement of cinema
00:50:48.380 i actually talked to a pastor yesterday that said that it's a very christian story
00:50:52.900 you agree i've only seen half of it i've only seen half of it and there is mary is insisting
00:50:59.440 that okay you saw the whole thing it is good you know who you hold on before oh before let's do
00:51:06.600 the answer before so i don't give away my answer
00:51:09.860 you've got a mr rogers vibe going on yeah well yeah i you know there's i love mr rogers something
00:51:18.300 really i do i honestly do really it's a great great figure i'm gonna make my kids watch him
00:51:22.000 yeah that when i have him is there a new is there a new mr rogers kirk cameron's close
00:51:26.740 no iggy and mr kirk maybe i don't okay mr rogers is a singular figure okay
00:51:30.940 a net net net negative because he says lock in my answer i don't know my i don't know my own
00:51:36.060 answer oh i'm gonna pretend it's like a chess tournament i'm waiting for you to move yeah
00:51:40.320 net negative because it will only feed
00:51:45.040 three two one correct i don't think it's a crowning achievement of cinema though i've only seen half of
00:51:54.860 it it i don't think it's a net negative i don't think it's a net negative i feel like there was like
00:52:00.020 a race thing okay i'll tell you what happened this is if it was italian pop demon hunters it'd be
00:52:04.440 different there there so the issue is i went in i thought it was just some like fluffy cartoon movie
00:52:11.820 and then a buddy of mine who i to my own detriment respect he came in and he said you have to watch it
00:52:17.620 it's actually very good it has a very interesting thesis and it's very and so then i went from no
00:52:24.140 expectations to very high expectations and in the half that i watched it actually i was over so
00:52:30.000 yeah yeah and i heard that it gets much better in the second half okay i went into a super low
00:52:34.920 expectation yes that's the better way to do it yeah are you a singer i uh in the shower and with
00:52:40.560 ukulele but not a very good singer do you play any instruments i do i do i play i play like every
00:52:45.600 instrument at the level of a pretty good 13 year old so i'm not i'm your journey good yeah i'm a
00:52:51.880 journeyman yeah i thought it was i mean i did come into it with low expectations um but then
00:52:59.660 like the songwriting itself i mean it's like you can just listen to the soundtrack it's impressive
00:53:05.960 pop music right yeah yeah yeah exactly why is it christian there's the devil there's the you know
00:53:12.380 yeah so um this isn't my thesis so i wouldn't say 100 agree with it but what the pastor said was
00:53:17.520 basically modern cinema there's a placating to the fact that there isn't an absolute evil
00:53:23.640 that they try to say that like well kind of catering towards the anti-hero and all that type of stuff
00:53:30.780 whereas in this story there's an obvious bad and then there's an obvious good and there's someone
00:53:34.580 that struggles with being in between the lines but then ultimately choosing good and then at the
00:53:39.340 end there's a oh wow that that scared the crap out of me the oh elizabeth warren in the corner
00:53:46.040 yeah yeah it's our folk honest yeah that's the second time that happened she scares a lot of
00:53:51.640 people um there's a christ-like sacrifice of like giving my life for you that happens at the end
00:53:59.320 and so once he told me that i was like i can see your point spoiler alert oh crap my bad well i
00:54:06.040 it's okay i wasn't gonna finish it but now i'm actually maybe i will you sort of persuaded me that
00:54:09.940 maybe i should okay so this means oh thank goodness thank goodness this means the final score
00:54:15.880 is four to two which means that i do not need to do more push-ups than i have done
00:54:23.640 cumulatively in the last five years today and that means that my giga chad friend over here will have
00:54:29.600 to do a hundred push-ups which he's probably already done today go check out reed on all social media
00:54:35.220 platforms that is at reed choy r-e-a-d like you do to a book reed choy so that you can enjoy content
00:54:41.380 like this jesus christ oh my god wow okay i see how it is oh come on jesus it's not like that it's a
00:54:50.340 minute long oh no i'm sorry you can't take a minute out of your day to spend time with me i get it i
00:54:54.700 mean i died for you for three days what do i know except for everything come on don't be like that
00:54:58.880 it's a minute long the other videos are like 15 seconds so it's like four videos long hey choose
00:55:04.080 me or the world right go ahead let the devil win me not watching one video about you is not the same
00:55:09.440 thing as letting the devil win yes it is oh come on you're on his side now oh wow shocker i'm right
00:55:16.800 again see how much easier it'd be if you just listen to me video's not even that good half of it is like
00:55:22.060 heresy i think it is written that i shall give you a spirit of discernment if you watch the video you
00:55:26.780 would have known that already okay okay i'll watch this stupid video is everybody happy now i honestly
00:55:32.900 don't know why you bother with him he gets tempted and manipulated so easily bro why are you even here
00:55:38.020 oh i i quite like your kimchi so i'm gonna go get that
00:55:43.320 ah yes yes here we go all right see you later lucy has always been so strange
00:55:57.140 74 75 he got 75 during the video he got 75 during the video no 78 79 80 81 81 81 during the video
00:56:14.160 all right well i guess a 3 a 4 a 5 a 6 86 86 quick up
00:56:23.460 86 push-ups is he gonna a 7 a 9 90
00:56:31.960 that was legitimately it was very impressive not only was it a hundred push-ups just back to back
00:56:59.480 right away during the show it was also after a bunch of whiskey oh yeah reed an immense pleasure
00:57:07.620 thank you i'm i'm shocked i i laughed i cried i will see all of you next time let's do it again
00:57:15.900 on yes or no more cigars and after two cigars
00:57:19.500 i'm so you know what about the show it's there so it's there so it's there so it's met
00:57:28.800 four cigars and paul
