00:00:55 Isn't that sweet?
00:00:55 Yeah.
00:00:56 Precious.
00:00:57 We're matching most days.
00:00:58 Who are you?
00:00:58 we actually are matching most days you probably know who these guys are my name is haunted and
00:01:03 this is my friend cosmos yeah actually that is now our legal name i'm brian soveh i'm ben garrett
00:01:12 ben garrett my my good friend i pastor a church out in ogden utah called refuge church do a bunch

00:01:30 there and i am the showrunner for haunted cosmos that i co-host with my friend cosmos cosmos
00:01:38 cosmos creamer yeah that's right it's better than sweet psalmist of ogden so here so here's the deal
00:01:43 so if you're new to right responsive ministries this is what i want you to know okay so we have
00:01:47 three main shows every week on monday wednesday friday at 4 p.m central time monday is theology
00:01:51 applied where I have a guest from wherever, and it's just remote. We're piping them in
00:01:56 virtually and handling the topic, and it's just a one-and-done situation. An hour-long episode
00:02:01 on a topic, on a text, on a doctrine. There you go. Wednesday is the same two guys from my church,
00:02:06 Michael and Wesley, and different topics. That's on Wednesday, 4 p.m. each week. We're taking a
00:02:11 break today. Then Fridays, though. That's why they're out here. So Friday is a new thing we
00:02:16 started this year. We're a month into our first season. So it's going to be four seasons in a
00:02:21 year, Q1, 2, 3, and 4. Q1, January through March, is Andrew Isker and A.D. Robles. And so that's
00:02:31 going over Isker's book, The Boniface Option. It's nine episodes long, and that's every Friday
00:02:36 right now. This Friday, upcoming, I think will be episode five in that series. But after that,
00:02:43 q2 so the very first friday in the month of april is going to start um our second season of the
00:02:49 friday special and each season is a different topic but also a different set of guests
00:02:53 and it's these guys so we have 10 episodes so it's nine episodes right now with isker and um
00:02:58 and ad on the boniface option uh chopping down trash world and rebuilding christenem 2.0 and
00:03:05 then q2 starting in april the first friday in april 4 p.m central time is going to be a a haunted
00:03:11 cosmos themed 10 episodes so we've got 10 main episodes and two hour long bonus episodes which
00:03:18 is awesome and what i'd like to do is just give you guys a taste not the content but i i am
00:03:26 comfortable if you guys are as well giving away the titles of all 10 episodes that's so they know
00:03:33 let's do it yep okay and i think as we do it um maybe i do it fast and then we say these are our
00:03:40 favorite ones yeah yeah okay yeah let's do that yeah okay so here we go episode number one hollow
00:03:45 earth episode number two mermaids episode number three giants episode number four giants episode
00:03:53 number five it's a big issue it's a big topic yeah it really is um episode number five that's a pun
00:04:00 episode number five angels episode number six ghosts episode number seven bigfoot episode number
00:04:07 eight fairies spelled f-a-e-r-i-e-s you can spell fairies like seven different ways not the guy who
00:04:18 wrote the song tiny dancers exactly so that's what would be known as theologically as a high
00:04:23 fairy elton john incorrect but the other kind of we're talking about elemental spirits
00:04:29 Why does that offend me so much
00:04:32 It really should
00:04:33 We can't give too much away
00:04:36 But that's episode 8 is fairies
00:04:38 Episode 9
00:04:39 Witches
00:04:41 Episode 10
00:04:43 Atlantis
00:04:46 Atlantis
00:04:47 And then your bonus episodes is a second part
00:04:50 On Hollow Earth
00:04:51 And also a whole thing on
00:04:54 The tools of witches
00:04:56 Exactly to commune with 0.63
00:04:58 the dark art yep um so again hollow earth mermaids giants giants angels ghosts bigfoot fairies
00:05:07 witches and atlantis it's a hard-hitting lineup so that's a productive what did you guys think
00:05:13 we recorded all these in about less than 48 hours yes but with plenty of prep leading into it i mean
00:05:19 so it's serious we worked hard like what counts as prep yeah so but they're they're fantastic but
00:05:27 some are more they're not equally fantastic all fantastic but not equally fantastic what are your
00:05:31 favorites you go first what's your top three top three that we've done i would say our ghosts
00:05:37 episode hit really hard yeah because it's such an important topic when you're looking at this
00:05:42 rising interest in paranormal phenomenon and and just you know i think it's some of the foundations
00:05:48 of the demonic deception there so i'm gonna put ghosts up there in the top three fair i'm gonna
00:05:53 to put our episode on hollow earth primary water because it's so far out of what anybody's probably
00:05:59 thought of and people have heard a bigfoot you guys brought i'll be honest i have nothing to
00:06:04 be ashamed of you guys in terms of topics you brought a good 60 to 70 percent of the idea
00:06:10 yeah of the horsepower right because you're already doing a whole show that's themed on
00:06:13 this that's why i invited you in the first place uh but if there was one idea that i that i brought
00:06:19 to that was you it was hollow earth and under hollow earth it's not the title but it is packed
00:06:25 into that episode with plenty of attention yeah is primary water theory joel and if you're not 1.00
00:06:30 primary water theory max i'm telling you're an idiot you're an idiot get yourself a spouse that 0.99
00:06:35 talks about about the way joel talks about primary water joel loves you just to put this in perspective 1.00
00:06:40 you have no joel webbin wanted haunted cosmos to fly out to texas and do the first 17 episodes
00:06:47 on hollow earth and primary water we had to talk him down to just doing like a mega multiple times
00:06:53 this week joel has said and i quote we got number one gospel of jesus christ number two primary
00:06:59 in terms of certainty in terms of importance that's also the correct order i was gonna say
00:07:05 you know just a wider gap you know but in terms of certainty i am absolutely certain that we're
00:07:09 saved by grace alone through faith alone and christ alone um i'm almost that certain though
00:07:14 yeah that primary water is a thing gotta gotta listen third favorite gotta be atlantis
00:07:21 oh can't beat atlantis yeah because it was our first episode of haunted cosmos high strangeness
00:07:26 on the high seas which is so cool and it's our last episode and it was the first thing ben and
00:07:30 i were traveling for conference and we were researching for this first episode and atlantis
00:07:36 was discovering where the real atlantis is which we know for a fact uh discovering that was like
00:07:42 one of those moments where we went from just good friends to like people are going to be
00:07:47 uncomfortable to be around us yeah because of how much we enjoy one another's company yeah and it
00:07:52 was atlantis there and i want everyone to know right now if you if you're watching and you have
00:07:56 happened to listen to the first episode of haunted cosmos high strangeness on the high seas and you
00:08:01 got to the atlantis section of that episode and thought wow this is really cool i want you to
00:08:06 know there's more that it almost didn't happen well yeah it was about a five minutes worth of
00:08:10 research afterthought that we shoehorned in at the very end and then also there's more there's
00:08:15 more a lot more the way joel we talked about even more you guys talked about it because i'm still to
00:08:21 date that's probably my favorite episode that you guys have done on haunted costumes because i love
00:08:25 this because it's deeply spiritual but but it's not just spiritual it's like no this was real
00:08:31 it's physical it's in nature it's his history if there's a historical net i i like that i like
00:08:37 Ghosts are relevant.
00:08:39 It matters.
00:08:39 You need to have, so that you don't fall for deception, you need to have a firm biblical
00:08:45 framework for understanding something like a ghost.
00:08:50 So I'm not saying that doesn't matter.
00:08:51 It matters.
00:08:51 If it didn't matter, we wouldn't do it.
00:08:54 But there's a whole, it's just a whole different category to say, you know, ghosts versus Atlantis,
00:09:01 a city that really did exist.
00:09:03 And because of primary water theory, it's coming back.
00:09:06 what guy doesn't want to go out in the ocean and you know heed the call of the wind and the waves
00:09:12 and jump on a ship and go quest for new lands yeah i'm with you that first episode is magic
00:09:17 much like tuor son of huor that's what i'm saying and it's deep in us son of tuor yeah it was a
00:09:23 mariner that tarried an arvernian he built a boat of timberfeld and nimbrithel the journey in that's
00:09:27 right okay and he made it to the undying lands and he pleaded the cause of the of the two kindreds
00:09:32 before the gods so i actually what do you think yours were ghosts yeah what are your top three i
00:09:36 was ghosts uh atlantis and um is that like one two three or just it hard to say the top three
00:09:44 yours my middle one yours were ghosts man hollow earth hollow water okay so this is good so we're
00:09:50 we're mostly different okay cool yeah so mine uh in no particular witches was so good too i'm sorry
00:09:55 go ahead i can tell you this was really good yeah what what do you think and you're right uh you're 0.90
00:09:59 right at least on one of them fairies has to be in the top okay yeah fairies is for sure was insane 0.97
00:10:04 i feel like i have a vested interest in that episode because of how sincerely i believe that
00:10:08 topic and i and you swayed me i i sincerely believe not primary water theory level you know
00:10:13 sure sure no me too what can reach that except the gospel of jesus christ you did i think by
00:10:20 the time we were done talking through rough and tumble through fairies my fundamental perspective
00:10:26 had at least changed yeah i got to give a defense of my my real view on fairies so fairies is in
00:10:32 there ghosts is in there okay because i feel like we were so locked in we were so locked in it was
00:10:38 amazing and then this might be a dark horse for you guys mermaids oh really i love that you said
00:10:44 it's on joel's list i was hoping now look now look don't not if joel ever tries to tell you
00:10:49 Let's not get carried away.
00:10:50 Mermaids, because it was the most hinged and valid.
00:10:54 No, no, absolutely not.
00:10:56 Mermaids, not because I'm convinced of all the ideas that were discussed.
00:11:00 100%.
00:11:01 I'm actually less convinced today, maybe.
00:11:03 Yeah, less.
00:11:04 No, I'm kidding.
00:11:04 The mother of all mermaids, what's her name again?
00:11:07 Didn't you begin the episode by singing loudly Under the Sea?
00:11:11 Under the Sea.
00:11:11 After I gave a riveting cold open, by the way.
00:11:14 Great cold open.
00:11:15 It was like amazing.
00:11:16 From memory.
00:11:17 Under the Sea.
00:11:17 And you guys didn't even recognize it
00:11:19 because I started actually with just the music.
00:11:22 We were lost.
00:11:24 And you were like, what is he doing?
00:11:25 Ben and I thought that we had accidentally
00:11:26 been laced with DMT.
00:11:28 Like, what's happening?
00:11:29 I was like, what is the first Joelle doing?
00:11:31 Yeah. 0.95
00:11:32 So yeah, I loved fairies, loved ghosts, loved mermaids. 1.00
00:11:37 I would say, though, that if I had to rank them, 0.97
00:11:40 it would be fairies, mermaids, ghosts. 0.99
00:11:43 OK. 0.99
00:11:43 Yep, that's fair.
00:11:45 That's what I'd say.
00:11:46 I would say mermaids is in my top three.
00:11:48 Fairies is in my top three. 1.00
00:11:50 So I'm the first one to not put ghosts in there. 0.99
00:11:54 I think it was good, but not top three.
00:11:57 And then I can't do three.
00:12:00 I have to do four.
00:12:01 I knew that.
00:12:02 I knew it.
00:12:02 I know what they're going to do.
00:12:04 It's Atlantis and Hollow Earth.
00:12:05 Yeah, I knew it.
00:12:06 Atlantis and Hollow Earth have to be in there.
00:12:07 Those are so good.
00:12:08 But fairies and mermaids also have to be in there.
00:12:12 I think those, would you guys agree those four?
00:12:14 now you would have to you'd have to throw in ghosts both of you would say ghosts
00:12:17 here's the thing since you said ghosts i'll say another one that i was like i i i really might
00:12:23 say and that's uh so we we have fairies mermaids i really liked the angels episode yeah i really
00:12:30 really liked it and i don't want the viewers to get the wrong idea like all of these are elite
00:12:35 they're all great they're all so good they're all great but we're just trying to whet your appetite
00:12:39 some they're all great but they're not all equally great some are greater than others

00:15:11 Friday at 4 PM central time, which is hollow earth and hollow earth. I know you don't care
00:15:18 because you just, you don't know enough to even care the way you should be caring right now,
00:15:22 but here's the deal hollow earth um this is everything that's in there it's hollow earth
00:15:26 moving from hollow earth to shield yeah as a as a spiritual but also literal and a mystical motif
00:15:33 yes then from shield getting into uh nephilim and demons and these kinds of things and then moving
00:15:40 to uh from shield to uh bism we talked about the land of bism take you on just a just a pleasant
00:15:48 journey to the meet gold our friend gold you know and and gold that you can eat and diamond juice
00:15:53 you know and then and then moving from that to primary water and then three applications of
00:15:58 primary water uh the re-beautification of this world um the uh the the possible beautification
00:16:07 and making it um a hospitable place for human life of of other planets like mars and a kind of a space
00:16:14 trilogy c.s lewis reverse kind of situation and then joel's patented yeah and that's my idea
00:16:21 that is what nobody's talked about and this last one's joel's patented fountain of youth
00:16:25 except in this case it's the underground ocean of youth that doesn't have a specific geographic
00:16:32 locale but is actually everywhere if only we could get deep enough to access it and it's not just
00:16:38 going to re-beautify the world and eradicate deserts but it's it's not um finite water but
00:16:44 more water renewed water and it's not old water picking up certain minerals that are harmful but
00:16:50 it's new water and it's the secret to fulfilling isaiah 65 that the youth should die at 100 he was
00:16:56 just a kid elongating lengthening human lifespans and a great post-millennial hope i'm i'm really
00:17:03 promising a lot and i think we actually deliver that much i think so i think i make at least
00:17:07 i make a strong enough case to where it's like that's possible it sure feels like we did yeah
00:17:12 yep so that's it anything else uh any sign off or final thoughts you guys want to throw out there
00:17:17 i was gonna say guys like support support this stuff because one day hana cosmos would love to
00:17:22 build a studio as elite as the one we're sitting in right now if you guys could only see what we're
00:17:28 seeing right now it is amazing in terms of joel and nathan and what they're doing here it's
00:17:31 absolutely marvelous so good job excellency love it yeah keep it up it's pretty inspiring to be
00:17:37 here and to see how you guys work because you're just two oxen it's amazing the level of output
00:17:42 uh and horsepower that's contained in the two of you so two dudes yeah because you guys are doing
00:17:48 excellence also you're doing excellence at a higher degree and i'll just completely own it
00:17:53 when it comes to audio your audio is phenomenal your music brian but then your podcast and what
00:17:58 you're doing with haunted cosmos and it's like music and then it's like you can just picture
00:18:02 you don't see it on video but it's like did ben did ben go over there and and like grab some
00:18:07 plastic you know and go to get that noise like did he make it himself with a microphone it's
00:18:12 like the energy that the effort the love that's put in with the audio and of course the content
00:18:17 but but by god's grace i think what we're doing well is also content um but on the videos like
00:18:23 we're really and but the one thing that i'm jealous of is that you you guys your excellence
00:18:27 is through the roof but you do have a little bit of a bigger team yeah praise god we do praise god
00:18:31 for yeah so me and nathan you guys you've heard you hear me reference nathan um fairly fairly often
00:18:37 but that's it that's the team you know one thing you should mention new your conference is coming
00:18:40 up that's right you guys are gonna be yeah and new christian press we're putting on a conference

00:20:35 conference. Okay. Yeah.
00:20:37 And any of our Haunted Cosmos episodes have that link.
00:20:39 Do you think? We're not sure yet. We've never
00:20:41 gotten that live stream video thing. Right now you need to sell some tickets.
00:20:43 So we're hoping, we have
00:20:45 an enormous venue, bigger than we've ever
00:20:47 had in our one conference we've ever done.
00:20:49 But true.
00:20:50 Technically, that was true.
00:20:51 It's going to be a really great venue, a historic building in our city, very close to our church.
00:20:57 And we're really hoping to pack it out.
00:20:59 So we've made it the most family-friendly conference in terms of pricing.
00:21:02 We've got really approachable tickets there for whole families to come, which we're really excited about this year to see more kids in the audience.
00:21:11 Singles mixer, too.
00:21:12 Singles mixer. 1.00
00:21:13 Ladies, if you're single and you want a husband, it's a dollar ticket. 1.00
00:21:18 The men pay like $50. 1.00
00:21:19 Please, consider.
00:21:21 And you know what's amazing?
00:21:22 Last I checked, we had exactly the same number of men and women.
00:21:25 Seriously.
00:21:25 That is a shock to me.
00:21:27 Praise God.
00:21:27 So BrightHearth-sponsored Singles Mixer as well going on there.
