This episode is a re-post of our Facebook LIVE 2-year celebration. Mark, Justin, and the How I See It community celebrate two years of the show. We get to engage with YOU, our audience through comments, discuss naming Justin's new truck with suggestions like Duke, Bergford, and Honey Do, and share dad jokes. We reflect on favorite topics, and the impact of our conversations. The episode is informal, filled with laughter, and appreciates the community that's been built. Plans for a season break and future episodes are mentioned, along with gratitude for our listeners' support and engagement.

2:36
it thank you for joining us Jason no doubt and all of y'all o and Cindy Bliss

2:41
as Kelly May Perry well there you go how

2:46
what's that how do we believe her well I'll believe her I believe her by

2:52
all means Cindy is one of the few people that I would just believe based on just what they say at the moment that's true

2:58
not a problem there at all ooh I see a Chris schoolly Pratt oh look at that I

3:04
think that's your lovely bride that is my lovely Bride for which uh she was a guest as well at one time year over not

3:11
this year but last year that's right so yeah and we're forever trying to get our wives back on his K yes I didn't even

3:18
think it was that traumatic but evidently there it was a little maybe as dramatic more than traumatic but either

3:26
way I don't know not a desire to come back so can position this to where my face

3:32
is it's doing the thing again so here here's here's part of our here's part of our agenda for the evening so as you

3:40
posted you have a new truck yeah and this was something as we as see if I can

3:47
post a picture to sure but you keep going there I'll keep doing what I do but either way in this process Justin

3:54
says hey I'm looking for a new truck can you recommend somebody to look at it I recommend somebody and sure enough he

4:01
ends up getting the truck well my first question to Justin was well of course

4:08
what's the question what did you name it right because from my perspective a

4:14
vehicle deserves a name especially a work truck Justin I don't think comes

4:19
from that same perspective yeah I mean I agree now that I've heard

4:25
it okay so in the Moment Justin had a truck and didn't have a name right for

4:32
his truck that's right so we are not doing giveaways tonight unless you're in

4:38
the live studio audience and last time I checked nobody was here so that being

4:43
said we are offering an opportunity to name Justin's truck you

4:50
could say we're giving away the opportunity well I wanted to allow you the room to deny the opportunity but at

4:59
this at the same time we are offering the opportunity to name Justin's truck

5:06
and so at that point do you care to I can't a picture of the comments so

5:12
that's okay all right do you care to do a gender reveal on your truck

5:19
or let me let me at least link to the picture of the truck okay there we go

5:25
you got that it feels very boyish to me okay

5:30
oh Michelle said my ya'all was on point oh nice so I said it right yes you

5:37
did uh yeah so I I definitely think it has a masculine vibe to it

5:42
um yeah so I'm gonna go with it's a boy okay so that being said you get the

5:48
opportunity but I'm not opposed to girl names like if you see a girl in that truck oh okay you want to give it a girl

5:55
name I fair enough have you go ahead have you heard of the um contest like I I posted

6:03
about this in Facebook but um there's contests in Minnesota to name plows snow plows I did not know that and before

6:11
that they had a contest in England somewhere in England to name uh like a barge or something oh wow and uh see

6:18
it's a real thing so B mcboat face was the one that won the barge contest sure

6:23
so then you know Minnesota took on the snow plow naming contest in uh uh plowey

6:28
M plow face was one of the uh contenders so yeah and so I said

6:34
in the future that's right that's right you're trck name I don't want trucky MC truck face okay but if that's what wins

6:42
it's too long it is too long it's too long it's did you hear that everyone I could not name a vehicle that long trck

6:50
you need something that you can say right in the midst of getting stuck that basically says mine would be come on

6:57
girl you know yeah as trying to lean back in your truck to put more weight to

7:02
the back of the wheels to get it going you know you need something we don't have snow to deal with that but yeah but

7:08
you got mud you're you're going to go drive through mud I I count on you taking me to the I can PL I can provide

7:14
plenty of opportunities for a month so that being said we're giving you the opportunity yes and the other part of

7:21
the the dynamic is we need to keep track of some questions that that's right I already saw some trickling in yeah oh

tonight yes welcome thanks for Jo us this is the studio office it is yes yeah this is where we do all our recording

10:46
yep and Gatorade ruining the shot and oh sorry but that being said um what is one

10:53
of your favorite things from the past year as you think about it uh since you asked that that is

11:00
actually close to Jason's question what has been your favorite topic to discuss these last two

11:06
years she pick your wives episode okay two years that would that year yep that

11:11
would be wives would be number one as but I know you can't so like you said

11:16
that would be my number one so my one B would be oh in two years in two years I think

11:25
he said favorite topic too so yeah it could br if you care to go first the

11:32
stick Justin's favorite topic is always the stick if anybody mentions the stick

11:39
Justin just beams from ear to ear speaking of dad joke what's brown and sticky Mark it's a stick it's a stick

11:47
yes all right did you have another dad joke you want to follow up that way uh yeah where does a general keep his

11:52
armies in his sleevies you got it you got

11:57
it you uh what did the policeman say look at

12:03
look at the crow when you tell this what did the policeman say to his belly

12:08
button you're under a vet yes that's what the policeman said

12:14
to his belly button you know what you call a bear with no teeth I don't you call it a gummy

12:21
bear I like that that is good yes what about the classic you know Dad joke the

12:29
classic dad joke oh when does a joke become a dad joke Justin

12:38
when you know you know it when it becomes apparent that's right that's

12:43
right well done so back to your favorite topic yeah uh I mean the stick is kind

12:49
of a joke but it is kind of a a pet topic of mine yes it is

12:55
um I like several of the topics we covered uh well I like all the topics we

13:01
covered uh but there are some that kind of stand out as meaning a lot so like when we talk about depression that one

13:07
that one stood out a lot to me we've talked about in various ways it's a topic that's covered um just because I

13:14
think it's important to talk about and um so that I think and it's very you

13:20
know real to me so I think that stands out um I don't know if I like talking

13:26
like I don't know but I like to have talked like that we have conversation

13:31
that has been said sure does that make sense sure that there are no topics that we can't talk about yeah yeah yeah no

13:38
what about you um in the past two years I'm trying to scroll real quick

13:45
through all that well I would I would say my favorites if I may are the ones

13:52
that we have had um guests on you know

13:58
those those definitely tend to be my favorites you know we definitely had Jason we've

14:04
had Troy we've had Lizzy we've had Sarah Jeff you know and I apologize if I'm

14:10
missing some but even you know I think as we go forward that is part of our

14:17
desire is to offer that opportunity to more and more people because I just I

14:23
just realize how influential that is to actually hear

14:28
somebody else's story and be able to recognize that that has purpose and

14:34
meaning in the in the Kingdom if you will and I said we were going to pray before we started and we got uh so

14:40
excited about going live that we forgot but so Lord we do thank you for this

14:45
time we thank you for what uh how you have used how I see it and Lord we just

14:50
ask you to continue to do so uh we thank you for all those who uh who have chosen

14:55
to listen and Lord we just thank you for your faithfulness we thank you for your this happy birthday moment that two

15:01
years is offering and Lord we uh we commit the the future and what it holds to you uh or how I see it is concerned

15:08
and Lord we just uh as as we typically try to do we just commit this uh this

15:14
opportunity to you and may you be glorified in it and may you use this as you see fit and we just thank you for

15:20
your love in Jesus name amen amen thank so yeah that's uh that's probably been

15:25
another favorite part of mine is is not necessarily episode but having that

15:32
opportunity to talk with people talk talking to people I does it

15:38
seem rud rude that I'm not talking to you I'm so used to talking to you so either way that being I'll get over

15:45
it Justin does get his feelings hurt sometimes but that's true um coming back

15:51
to it being able to recognize how important um guests are um definitely

15:58
having um Lizzy Juan was fun when we were able to talk about brains that kind of thing um that was probably a favorite

16:07
and I was uh along the lines probably more recently um I know Chris and I

16:14
entered into more discussion probably on uh Dark Knight um because there was some

16:19
awareness that uh she gained through that episode that she didn't have before so that created some uh good discussion

16:27
you know as far as we were concerns about y me yeah yeah yeah yeah I like that in that one usually you're the one

16:35
making me spill my guts and we got to hear Mark spill's guts a little bit if you liked hearing Mark spill's guts

16:41
please put a thumbs up in the comments because uh I know I I'm going to put a thumbs up there you go that's fair

16:47
enough uh yeah I I like that one but also that was uh one of the ones where

16:52
we got to talk uh you know a little bit about depression and defin kind of those impacts so um um yeah I wanted to show

17:01
uh while I was we were looking at episodes I want to show you what two years of episodes looks like when you

17:07
scroll there you

17:13
go like it just keeps going there you go two years two years and a lamp

17:20
reflection like is that fake that can't be real can it it's still going there you go now you're there there you go

17:27
maybe you didn't see ex all glar oh and I forgot scr I forgot Mary Ellen and Mary Beth too yep the Marys yep yep no

17:34
doubt yeah those are good ones I was thinking about that yeah yeah that's

17:40
delayed there but that's cool too yes correct they're both delayed ah by 15 20

17:46
seconds something like that that way if we really mess up I guess we get a bleep yeah get a chance I actually don't know

17:54
why it does that but either way but don't tell them exactly your favorite

17:59
part for you favorite part of favorite episode I

18:05
know talking the depression but if you were to bring it back to a episode yes I'm looking at the episode list and it's

18:12
just too big just is feeling overwhelmed right now I he's uh using his soul words

18:20
yes I agree with you that I really like the guest ones because to me

18:26
um I mean we you and I very much enjoy conversation like that's kind of like

18:31
our MH you know our uh passion right and so you and I get to have conversation

18:36
every Wednesday but when we bring another party and it's like now we're now we're you know getting expand the conversation so no doubt I think for me

18:43
I always enjoy that and like you said each person that we've interviewed has had a very particular you know like they

18:50
exist in the world for their very particular reason and purpose and so being able to hear from their

18:55
perspective and what they have um to share is I don't know just really cool to kind of like you said kind of open up

19:01
that opportunity for others to hear from them and hear what's going on and what they've learned in um I think that's one

19:10
of the premises behind guests in in the beginning from the very beginning for us is like we want to get guests on not

19:17
necessarily people who are you know the President right because we can't get the president but also because we do believe

19:24
that each person has a unique perspective on the world that only that person has to offer

19:29
so it's been kind of cool to to do that yeah I think no and yeah I think we both

19:35
you know wish we would do it more just yeah no doubt and I think it going forward that is our goal that is part of

19:41
our desire as we think about what lies ahead for how I see it that definitely

19:46
becomes one of those things is to be able to invite more people hello just seeing a few thumbs up coming oh okay

19:53
that's all right just to remind you people like that that's there's my brother says you rock brother Michael

that oh for being on the podcast in other words when we had wives maybe in other words when we were talking about

24:05

24:12

24:18
anymore the dad just kidding yeah that's is that what she said it's take them

24:24
that's what she said it does look like I can't take any Mar and I'm the guy with glasses

24:30
on all right we're caught up we're caught up I think yes so back to the

24:37
questions or yep no back to as far as you were just describing

24:43
what was your favorite part as far as having guests on but the other part I wanted to come back to is what would be

24:51
one thing that over the past two years you have learned outside of the

24:56
influence of other people and they're here ing their stories what would you be what would be one thing that you have

25:03
learned I've learned that we can talk for an hour at a time and no

25:08
problem every week it may not always be beneficial but no no

25:16
um I've learned the value of like some of the episodes we talked about

25:22
um like Serenity and White Blank Page and slowing down for in in meditation

25:29
right okay slowing down the value of slowing down I think is kind of um and

25:34
then talking about planting things sure it's a lot of episodes that kind of had a thematic a theme to me that was like

25:42
hey Justin slow down you know and take a look around smell the roses whatever um

25:48
I think for me that's a big aspect that I've been learning over the last two years is through through this right

25:54
through this is the reminder you know how important it is to slow down sure uh and not be looking you know yeah you

26:02
know eight months ahead or whatever tomorrow yeah you know we also Serenity

26:08
oh yeah we did Serenity so about the Serenity Prayer which talks about one day at a time so yeah yep I think that's a pretty one one at a time yeah yeah how

26:15
about you yeah I think uh that I think in a lot of cases most of our topics you

26:23
know come from something I've experienced you know when y

26:29
something that I've experienced in the process of having a conversation with someone um some attribute of that

26:37
conversation or with you or with other people I'm just learning about God more

26:43
in in that you know and how he uses how he redeems our lives in so many ways and

26:49
I'll I'll be even uh it's I believe it or not I look back at some of the um um

26:58
ones we did on social media those kind of things and I've recognized that I'm

27:05
not as anti- uh social media as I once was or anti- you know computer you know

27:12
I just I've just come to Value this time and I think in some ways it's

27:18
interesting as I think about it um I value I've come to appreciate gratitude

27:25
was another good one that um and even Grace um cuz I think about how how I see

27:33
it came to be and I realize you know it came from

27:38
you basically saying I want to do a podcast you know and with you

27:45
well you did say with me and it was interesting because I as I've thought

27:52
about that even you know that's a that's um a Grace type thing for me

27:58
because I realize you know God picks us you know he chooses us chooses

28:04
relationship with us and I realize you know there's a hundred other people you could do a podcast with don't get me

28:10
wrong you know I know that and yet you chose to pick me because we do you know

28:16
at that time we were just having some you know different conversations about

28:22
how divisive you know our culture had become and we recognize we didn't want

28:29
to allow that and we are also able to recognize what it took and I think so

28:35
often even you know in the process of having

28:40
conversations how I see it has taught me even you know how to slow a conversation

28:45
down even more and to be able to reflect on the fact that yes where that person

28:51
comes from makes perfect sense when I completely understand their story when I recognize their story

28:58
yeah so yeah that's that's definitely part of what I've been learning I've been learning about God you know in the

29:04
process of it all and relationship and yeah it's it's been fun that that thing

29:10
you just said is my favorite quote of yours that I can never remember I'm not sure I quite said it I

29:17
tell people that all the time in fact I think what do you tell people all the time I don't even know what I tell them

29:23
it's so can you say it again well what I typically say is there's absolutely

29:29
nothing wrong with you everything you do makes perfect sense based on what you've

29:35
experience and where you've come from I got to write that down that's that's the one Mark it's a little long for a name

29:42
for your truck it's so good though and I I think that's also a big thing I've been

29:48
learning thanks to you and your influence of uh yeah like and Megan

29:54
right now I was reading a book about emotions by Jenny Allen um and she's also talking about uh how like emotions

30:01
aren't a bad thing and that's you've we've had those discussions a lot and um a lot of times I use really negative

30:07
words to describe certain emotions and you you check me on that and um so yeah

30:13
it's kind of a similar theme but a little bit different what you're saying but this idea that um yeah we experience

30:19
emotions and they are not um a summary of who we are and and they're valuable

30:25
no doubt um but they shouldn't also necessarily control us and I think anyway I really like that quote

30:32
and I try and quote it all the time who you are makes perfect sense there's absolutely nothing wrong with you

30:38
absolutely nothing wrong with you because you're normal not weird

30:44
precisely precisely because but you did uh you did in the process we we I did uh

30:51
I another podcast I want to be able to do is how our emotions episode yeah

30:56
you're going going start a new podcast without me no no no no no sorry that was a Mis that was a misnomer that was a a

31:02
faux paw on my part um that being said I do want to recognize in some ways I

31:08
think there's a lot of research that basically how we process emotion or the the the way we deal with emotion how it

31:15
affects our physical bodies oh yeah and there's a lot of research out there on that and I'd love to be able to make

31:22
another episode based on what's the term for that like neurophysical there's like

31:27
a word for that isn't it oh it could be I'm not I mean I I don't have it coming right to the top of my head if you want

31:34
me to make the connection between your yeah thoughts and mind and your bodies

31:39
yep metaphysical no no that sounds a little mystical but yeah but neuro

31:45
neurophysiological is good by me yeah maybe that that's it that's definitely it how about that for a truck but or

31:51
emotional neural phys what was the word you said the other last week or the week

31:56
before uh C CB t no uh it was uh you got

32:02
me THC oh yeah

32:08
Tri floral cannabinol yeah that yeah TC TR me

32:16
trihydro Chlor cannabol all right yeah good

32:21
job well I can't say that's exactly that's got be CL would be close enough yes all right should we check in with AI

32:28
again yeah by all means let's see what we got uh oh uh so um while Justin's checking

32:37
in there too uh I'd be curious if anybody had any episode that kind of

32:43
stood out to them as far as you know just just something meaningful and I

32:48
think um coming back to you um can you remember some conversations that people

32:55
have come up to you been able to share either via text via face to face yeah um

33:03
let's come back to that let me let's catch up on the chat oh sure by all means and then I'll pick up on that

33:08
answer and then like he said while we're discussing or whatever enter your your

33:13
thoughts right as far as your favorite yeah favorite episodes favorite moments favorite topics whatever favorite guest

33:20
uh I also asked in one of our social media post put your least favorite

33:25
episode I'd love we'd love to know yeah yeah you got you got a guess on that

33:30
one uh we did I did we we got some

33:35
answers to that I'm thinking I'm thinking beards and Tattoos may be one you think so I do I do you think that's

33:40
a least favorite I think that's going to be on a least favorite list all right put put them in there we

33:46
let to know yeah so this is how I see it so there's no wrong there's no wrong answer that's right yep I mean it might

33:53
hurt my feelings but that's okay well you might hurt Justin's feelings regardless of what put so that's you

34:00

38:11
yes no doubt maybe the best Jimmy lik the episode missing

38:17
statements uh mission statements oh okay yeah I like that one too that that is a good one yeah I got another topic coming

38:24
up too I've been uh been thinking about um you know greig uh Craig grelle has a

38:32
new new book out on discipleship and disciplines and it's kind of it was uh

38:38
it's very much to the point of kind of when uh Generations did the

38:44
episode um thinking ahead what was the name of that episode pre pred deciding

38:51
pred yeah he did a um you know the um what's that he did the

38:58
and my gotcha and it gave a thumbs up on the screen like that oh wow look at that

39:04
so that being said yeah he uh what's the other one Jonathan Puda

39:10
yes becoming something yep he was on their podcast did a did a phenomenal I mean 20 Minute

39:16
Podcast just was really phenomenal so we'll we we're going to come back to that one that's some new new material

39:22
for for people in the future sweet so if I may speaking of the future

39:27
what are your what are your thoughts for how I see it as we're at this point two

39:33
years thinking I might need need a new might you might we're low budget

39:39
here but we're proud of it I mean I'm pretty happy of our with our setup it's

39:45
pretty good I am too I think it's excellent we are low budget but but that wasn't an insult back to what you think

39:52
about what the the days ahead look like for how I see it uh yeah so I think our

39:58
plan correct me if I'm wrong Mark correct me if I'm wrong is uh call this season one so we've reached two years

40:06
which is an incredible Milestone and we're going to call this season one we're going to take a season break we are going to take a season break yeah

40:13
and we we're not we we're not we don't say that with excitement right yet there

40:19
is a point where we're willing to say okay we recognize that maybe towards I'm I'm willing to say recognize that maybe

40:26
towards the end we weren't necessarily as diligent as we could have been and we just want to take some effort and you

40:33
know kind of rep prioritize reorganize and kind of come back even

40:38
better yeah you know once we just kind of take take a break we'll still be kind

40:45
of recording you know as necessary but we

40:50
will not have you know uh the live like

40:55
we have been having you know immediate future yeah and so like I say much some

41:01
of this is still in the process of being discussed one of the things we talk I

41:07
mean we've already talked about it uh several timesday or gu yes and I think

41:12
uh also part of the goal is uh yeah I'm trying to focus mode so it doesn't ding

41:17
when I get hexed okay uh but yeah to to be able to kind of line those up better because um our

41:23
schedule such that our time is kind of Zoom by the aspect and what we're doing

41:29
to make it happen so that there's not a lot of time left over for um

41:35
administrative type getting interviews lined up and all

41:42
that U so we we want to make that a little bit more of a

41:49
priority so we're going to figure out how we can yeah plan that out and do it no

41:55
doubt yeah you know list you know we're gonna we're gonna up with some people I've spoken with some

42:02
more people about you know just just new episodes based on their their Journey

42:08
yeah as far as that goes but yeah we will you know just kind of be are you

42:14
thinking about reposting anything thought about it till that point but

42:19
we're we're going to just take a complete break at that point that's yeah

42:24
okay so yeah we're we're work in this right now we

42:30
are we are but

42:37
that's that's part of uh how we see

42:43
it move back discussions people have come yeah people who' come you to talk

42:50
about different episodes in the past yeah

42:58
and we've talked about this in other emotional intelligence and homeschool homeschooling right yeah homeschooling

43:05
episode yeah I remember getting some feedback on that like or

43:13
actually I don't know that I don't think it actually came from kind self-inflicted yeah I was

43:21
like cuz I was homeschooled doesn't matter uh so that

43:27
was one but we with that about with people about

43:33
uh what was the one Megan just

43:39
the oh yeah the Primal question questions

43:47
yeah that weren't lesser than gram texted me and said I'm a three you

43:53
turkey and maybe I'm uhing him there maybe he didn't want youall know that

43:59
but that was pretty funny yes was that was funny thank you somebody else somebody I'm

44:08
not okay

44:13
yeah I'm just gonna because now we're telling I had that was the goal call in

44:20
the episode I said to hear from you because I want to put faces to these num

44:25
I because those numbers sounded what I I don't recall

44:34
weak no but yes we played frisbee that week and week

44:43
yeah exactly that was a that was a yeah too it was fun it it was fun uh by the

44:49
way I'm drinking quiet time Kucha well Justin is making his own

44:54
quiet at this point I don't it's quiet time kombucha's trademark

45:11
so Phil gave that good dad joke said the meditation one was encouraging I was

45:17
wondering if you guys would share different ways to meditate oh yeah that's good what are

45:22
your thoughts Mark different ways to meditate as far as what my thoughts are

45:27
on that I mean that's that's all I got for well I'm think I I guess

46:08
linear we better off than if we and for me personally I think even um writing my

46:15
prayers down for me is a form of meditation see because what it does is

46:21
it allows me to maintain a focus on what

46:26
I'm seeing and stay focused in that because I find you know like if I'm I'm

46:33
just kind of laying down in bed I might say thank you God for this day and oh

46:39
the dogs need to be fed you know that thing and I don't for me personally I think it's that's a almost a form of

46:46
meditation for me is when I'm able to stay single-minded in that aspect of

46:52
prayer and actually move on you know kind of pray something through to its

46:58
fullness yeah and then move on to the next topic whereas if I'm trying do it in my mind I'm not it's jumping in yeah

47:06
yeah I know what you yeah I mean I feel like I'm going to just steal that answer straight out because I feel the same way

47:13
like when I sit in that corner right there there's my Bible and my journal there you go and there's where I sit

47:20
right there that's uh that's typically we Justin praise when we wrap up he'll move out of that chair and move

47:27
the end of the couch put his feet up on the uh the the uh the bench that's right there the chest that's right yeah and

47:35
Mark just slides back a little bit yep I just kind of spin my chair on around and we discuss uh what needs to be prayed

47:41
for that's right yeah yeah but I agree with you so the the pen the point of the

47:47
pen uh I've said this to a lot of people but like forces all of my brain into one single point on a piece of paper Y and

47:54
that is meditative for me in the sense that like you said it channels all of those thoughts into one single point and

48:00
that's really healthy for me and for all the reasons you said and um also there's

48:06
you know many mornings where I'm right before I decide to before I Journal that I'm just meditating like what what do I

48:13
want to say what do I want to talk to God about today you know what I mean yeah and it is a like depending on what

48:19
I read that morning or what's go you know what song's playing through my head or whatever like that's so I think in

48:27
some ways just having those moments available to you and if you don't like that that would be a good suggestion in

48:33
terms of ways to meditate is carve out time yep alone time in your closet the Bible you know uses that metaphor um

48:41
yeah another thing that um I consider meditative is uh you know when we talked about the episode planting things oh

48:48
sure well like for me walking around the yard and looking at the different things growing and the the status and just well

48:56
to it is medit meditative in the sense of thinking God thinking through the

49:02
seasons and you know what's happening now and like and that it it is

49:08
meditative for me it kind of broadens my thoughts from just this Bud on this one tree to sure the bigger picture and how

49:14
you know what I mean yeah you kind of you kind of almost shift from the creation to the Creator yeah in those

49:20
moments when you look at the intricacies of the plants and how they develop and

49:26
yeah yeah that I mean that's how I'm what I'm hearing in that process no doubt also

49:34
yeah I think I think it's a person very personal thing how you know meditating

49:39
and I think there might be a bajillion answers to it right no I hear you those

49:44
are some ideas do that does that answer your question should we move on to the next sure all right uh Nora says timbuck

49:53
two for truck that's also a good name you know we're going to have to start um

49:59
Michelle said that's a winner um we're going to have to start we're going to have to write all these I'm have to

50:05
figure this out write it all down and then get votes how we write it all down it's all

50:10
written down people people can see that all right you gotta I don't know how to get him to vote

50:15
though whatever next well if you put in your so in other words people can

50:22
tribute a name so if other people want to vote then it's not their name then

50:27
that's considered a vote right if they just resay one you mean yeah oh yeah do that if you like one

50:34
that you want to vot on just resay it so we have you know the number of mentions yeah we have timb two and Piney and D

50:41
can also look at thumb like the likes on the submissions okay because you can

50:47
like like it like this oh you can like it like that like it

50:54
like all right uh a magician was walking down the street then he turned into a

50:59
store oh that's right I like it nice job Meg I don't know where you're getting

51:05
all these but I'm impressed it's very daddy dadish of you there was another one that I read about Philip said love

51:11
you so that that was very nice oh that was very nice thank you Phil love you too yeah you know why you know why

51:18
vampires why vampires don't typically feel well CU they're always

51:25
coughing always coffin get it yeah in a coffin coffin yeah nice yeah uh you know

51:32
what you call you know what you call this is one of my favorites you know what you call a smart

51:39
dinosaur a thesaurus a thesaurus well done that's a good one that's a good one

51:47
as evidenced by my groaning yes but that that is one of my favorites yeah that's so so Tim Buck two is back in again all

51:54
right all right so yeah that's how said she already said this but I liked oh no this is a different one I liked apology

52:00
styles that one was good too um [Music]

52:07
Megan Graham said you are a turkey he's not wrong Tim Buck to Tim Buck to I

52:14
think we're caught up on the comments I miss them dad make me a sandwich please Walla you're a

52:22
sandwich oh voila you're a sandwich ah there you go there you go I messed that

52:29
up said Walla that's the magician one that's still the magician at work right there yeah waa you're a sandwich that's

52:35
right so back to the other part of that was for Megan by the way yes thanks

52:42
Megan they must have pulled out the joke book over there they must have they might have might have Googled yeah Googled I think Joseph's got a few joke

52:49
books probably May most most young boys do yes what were we going to say sorry

52:54
you were we were talking about interactions yeah yeah some of your f

53:00
um well typically in all honesty um it's it this has been a fun journey in the

53:07
process of um being mindful of what I say I know

53:12
we started out with a lot of Marxism you know in the very beginning and um like I

53:18
say like I said or uh the one the one recent one that uh Chris brought to my

53:24
attention was you know you know and uh so yeah I think that has that has been

53:30
good interaction between Chris and I you know in that process she uh definitely listens some of the you know most of the

53:37
time and uh I think you know I've appreciated that value and I think I've been able to recognize that years ago in

53:45
our relationship I would have heard her critique as saying you don't like me and

53:52
I'm not there anymore you know that's kind of a neat thing to be able to look back back and say okay yep you know who

53:59
she is she has you know these expectations for a reason and they're valuable to me now whereas years ago

54:07
they probably wouldn't have been you know so that that interaction with her has been good if you know Chris you know

54:13
she's an iron sharpener oh no doubt right no doubt which is a amazing character like yeah if you she sees you

54:22
you can you you know you can you know grow things to her in your life which is really cool yeah

54:29
yeah no doubt yeah and then uh like you say I've had some um Linda my

54:34
mother-in-law she's you know been uh lot of good text messages back and forth

54:40
Linda if you're listening I've really enjoyed hearing what you have to say through Mark I don't know how much of

54:45
that is his translation and he messed it up but I really enjoy what he says you're saying sure no so that that's uh

54:53
that's been good conversation it's been neat you even you know

54:59
interact with people at church you know um well um we did um pre-marriage

55:05
counseling yeah and you know and then to have that couple marry that couple and that kind of thing is you know that's

55:11
kind of been a a neat part of that Journey that was a how I see it marriage can we claim that you guys is that okay

55:18
Megan and I had the honor of doing marriage counseling with them and then you had the honor of marrying them yeah

55:24
but it wasn't all in the same time no and we didn't as an episode so I guess not really how I see it exactly but yes

55:32
that was very much an honor uh it was cool to be able to yeah talk about marriage counseling with you oh sure in

55:39
that episode that was a cool spinoff yeah no doubt so yeah that's like to

55:44
your point cool to see how the podcast is kind of folded into different aspects of our lives and oh sure that's cool and

55:51
uh I will say this I don't know how many are listening right now or watch this but there's a few in our uh small group

55:58
we we host a 20s and something small group sure age group uh 20s and 30 whatever it's anyway every once in a

56:06
while they'll talk about an episode they listen to or what they and it's just that's always really cool uh to hear

56:12
that from them and just to hear that it is making an impact of any kind so sure that that that's definitely one of my

56:18
favorite to kind of hear in that context typically a a 20s something if you will

56:23
20 30 something yeah yeah yeah no and that and that being said know that uh by

56:30
all means speaking on behalf of Justin it has been our honor to be able

56:36
to have this time to have you choose to spend this time with us because we

56:41

56:48
ton of other podcasts out there so just know that you know we value your input we value those opportunities we get to

56:55

about Duke Duke was one of the primary oh I did like the bergford yeah that

1:01:43
one that one might be my favorite really because it's just funny yeah and it did

1:01:49
it took me a minute to figure out it was my name in the trucks yeah no that's good I was just curious that's where I

1:01:55
was at I'm not saying it wins I'm just saying us I just I was just one the ones that came out of the top so yeah I love

1:02:03
Mark's beard Phil said and Megan said it's a good beard oh well thank you you need to show them your beard this is my

1:02:09
beard give them the whole yeah mhm yep it's it's far more gray than it used to be it used to be this this part here

1:02:17
wasn't quite so gray but it's all yeah I like the gray it's a good look not much

1:02:23
I can do about it no other than color I could but yeah so I mean naturally there's not much I can do about it so it

1:02:30
is what it is there are some coloring things that are natural so crayons blueberries blueberries yes I

1:02:37
don't know but I'm afraid it would be a different color that I'm looking for blue yeah not much into the blue you

1:02:43
could try it I'm not into the blue I'll be honest how do you know have you I'm pretty I'm pretty kind of out natural

1:02:50
kind of guy yeah so I know well then you're going to have to like that gray it's natural I like it it used and I

1:02:57
know my great to I know people know the story behind the beard but now it's like

1:03:02
what it used to be red so that's how people people would say where did Lizzy

1:03:07
get her red hair from and that was so you grew that's why he grew his beard that's why I had a beard so yeah at that

1:03:14
she is my daughter now stop it see quit picking on her but now you're kind of out of Lu yeah but now yeah it's like

1:03:20
she she's out of luck at that point cuz she's not gray anymore but or at all yet

1:03:26
so anymore you grew out of it exactly well done Lizzy you're reverse aging

1:03:31
you're Benjamin Button there you go the girl version but yeah Lizzy button thank you folks for the beard comment yeah for the

1:03:38
beard comment nice yeah all right what else we got oh favorite

1:03:46
episodes oh and what have we learned what does uh this was supposed to be the

1:03:51
first question okay it doesn't matter what does what does the fact that we've achieved years what does it mean to You

1:03:58
Ah that's a good question in all honesty um

1:04:04
and I think part of it is um when we take that into consideration that is

1:04:14
104 opportunities to sit down and have a conversation with you in that process

1:04:23
and be able to step away and think about things

1:04:28
differently than I did before yeah I mean to and and when I think about that

1:04:34
is a you know 104 times um in some ways

1:04:39
that doesn't seem like much you know in comparison to how many

1:04:45
times you brush your teeth in a lifetime you know but at the same time in in two

1:04:53
years um to stop and think about how many times we've had deliberate

1:05:00
conversations with someone that's pretty high number yeah you know when you really stop and think about it you know

1:05:08
um if I may that's I mean you I'm I'm just thinking

1:05:14
about comparisons but you would probably attend give or take

1:05:20
104 sermons in the process of two years give or take could

1:05:26
you know and as I'm as I'm thinking about that it's like yeah I find because

1:05:31
and and in some ways it's similar because as I step away um and and this is the another fun

1:05:39
part for me is there is a lot of the conversation in some cases doesn't even

1:05:46
always get recorded you know some of ours probably some of our best stuff has

1:05:52
has been we we got to the point where we just had to start recording when we started having a conversation cuz when

1:05:58
we were pre-thinking it we'd have some really good conversations and it's like we couldn't ever really duplicate that

1:06:06
yeah you couldn't just go back yeah and I think we've had some post conversations because we've been able to

1:06:13
say oh shucks yeah I wish I would have thought about I thought about it a little later and I wish I would have

1:06:19
said this you know those kind of things so that's kind of what it's mean it's means to me is that ability and then we

1:06:25
have the ability to come back together you know the next week and say what were your thoughts on this did you think

1:06:31
anything more about that and you know in some ways it's kind of like being able

1:06:37
to interact with each other in a follow-up way when I think about it from a sermon point of view you know not that

1:06:44
we're either one of us are you know pastors for se you know but it's

1:06:49
kind of like that ability to interact with each other and follow up on those same thoughts yeah and what what God's

1:06:56
saying to you yeah or what has God said to you further about that topic since

1:07:03
then yeah so if you could summarize all of

1:07:08
that in two sentences what would it be summarize what I what it what it means to me yeah maybe you can't that's okay

1:07:15
too just curious my uh it would mean I've had the ability to have

1:07:22
104 good meaningful convers ations that include followup with you about what God

1:07:29
is telling us MH yeah I like that that's good thank you Mar hey happy to do

1:07:37
it yeah I think for me um just 100 it's like it's interesting

1:07:46
because 104 like you said in some context doesn't seem like sure a big number exactly uh but when I hold up my

1:07:53
phone and I scroll mhm through sure to me that's a that's a big number

1:07:58
like sure it took you know yeah some effort to scroll through that list and think if you had the font that's on my

1:08:04
phone it would just go for days we should have done your phone it been really

1:08:10
impressive no but I mean we look at the spreadsheet I have a spreadsheet of every episode sure um it's like

1:08:18
scrolling through that thing and trying to get a an idea of what all we've covered is not simple like it's not it's

1:08:25
not straightforward it requires yeah you know some intention um all that to say

1:08:32
um I don't I feel very um thankful to have kind of that body of work so to

1:08:39
speak between us and to be able to have that kind of um done and out and in the

1:08:45
world so to speak and um the accomplishment of it feels very

1:08:51
rewarding to me to be able to say these are4 topics that we felt very you know

1:08:57
were meaningful and we had meaningful conversation and I believe it's um at least like you said if no one else of a

1:09:05
lot of value to me at that conversation and um so for me it's it the

1:09:10
accomplishment side of it uh Rings you know significant makes sense

1:09:16
sure yeah yeah yeah a work if you will yeah yeah that's good yeah y That's a

1:09:22
good word for it yep and it t it takes a lot to talk about

1:09:28
doing a thing you know what I mean I mean sorry does take a lot to talk about it doing thing and I've talked about

1:09:35
kind of the idea of podcasting for many years um off and on um or not just

1:09:41
podcasting but writing a blog or YouTube or whatever just something to have a

1:09:47
like you said a body of work or whatever uh but to actually do a thing um is

1:09:53
significant to me and so thankful to have been able to say that you know to be able to look back and say that that's

1:10:00
a you know like you said I can I can remember some of our initial conversations you know it's like you

1:10:06
know it the topic would come up and you know there would be this you know banter well when are we going to do it you know

1:10:13
and along the way somebody basically said you know okay first of the year you know and then we started out putting

1:10:20
some in the bank we we recorded a bunch that's why I mean that's actually why our

1:10:25
our our anniversary if you will our read our yeah I'll call it our podcast year

1:10:32
our birthday someone said yeah is in February because we started at the beginning of the the actual the calendar

1:10:40
year and recorded probably was it six weeks give or take us have been pretty

1:10:45
close to six weeks so that we'd have a a bank y to be able to release from

1:10:50
because we didn't want that pressure of uh having to do it on a weekly basis but

1:10:56
now we're back to that point where we're basically we worked our way out of that b thing that pressure's on yeah which is

1:11:05
another good helpful reason to have a break and kind of get caught up and again when we come back to be able to

1:11:11
have some bank and some plans in place and some schedule scheduled interviews

1:11:16
and that kind of thing no doubt it's all good stuff so yeah yeah so that being

1:11:23
said have any of your conversations about these polarizing topics changed

1:11:29
your mind H uh I think I think for me

1:11:37
um I have to look at the list again well I'm still going to go back to how my

1:11:44
views of social media not the not the maybe

1:11:50
not I still have the same views regarding how much time is spent in social media

1:11:59
and it's influence you know especially in kids lives but I will say I

1:12:06
value uh social media's influence far more than you know I did

1:12:15
initially I guess I I would it would be fair to say I saw almost more as you

1:12:21
know kind of strictly bad more so from the beginning as far as and and I think

1:12:28
I saw it so much from how much time you know it captures from people um or how

1:12:35
much time people offer social media and you know it's kind of like a void you

1:12:41
know because it it will it will give it will take all the time you want to give it and I think that was kind of that's

1:12:48
that's definitely something that's changed a little more in my uh in my thoughts what about you Justin

1:12:55
yeah I mean I think I feel similarly in the sense that most of these

1:13:00
conversations shifted my position at least some I hear you um and I think

1:13:06
that's one of the reasons we do this and we like the doing this the idea of polarizing topics is

1:13:14
to kind of release your version of the truth and try and find more of the

1:13:20
actual truth right like so sure um and and I feel like you know almost every

1:13:26
one of these conversations has provided that opportunity um to kind of rethink things and so I'm thankful for that um

1:13:33
as far as actually changing

1:13:39
directions um I mean I'm just looking through them and

1:13:49
sure what about you as far as what actually changing your mind I mean that

1:13:54
you're social media one was good but oh actually changing my mind no I I mean yeah I think that was the biggest one

1:14:00
for me and um have they all had a certain level of influence sure you know

1:14:10
and I think that's that's where you know if I may in that Continuum if you will

1:14:15
they're probably social media was probably the largest shift for me in

1:14:21
that process as I'm as I'm thinking about it um

1:14:27
yeah I think from one that said out to me I lost it already yeah crap it's all

1:14:34
right oh Pride uh we talked about pride and I feel like that one shipped my

1:14:40
perspective a little bit in the sense of oh I remember yeah yeah that was that

1:14:45
was another one we had some really good conversation about and lost do you remember that it was either a glitch no

1:14:52
I erased those from my m just like the actual recording I gotta I

1:14:58
I don't remember that specific one but yeah it's happened a few times unfortunately um it's all good you know

1:15:05
what our last our our second year that has happened far less than our first

1:15:12
year yes true something to be said for experience yes no

1:15:18
doubt but yes I the Aging one didn't

1:15:23
change my mind what it that did was open my mind to the concept and the thought of it and sure and I didn't necessarily

1:15:32
like that right I call is like kind of uncomfortable and yeah you know so we work through that um yeah I mean I can't

1:15:40
a quick glance I don't see any that um you know drastically changed my mind

1:15:46
but I think that's that's because we're probably still stubborn more stubborn than we want to I know we need to redo

1:15:51
changing our minds I guess there's some more good questions there are there any episodes you wish you could do over

1:16:03
oh is it going to sound prod full if I say no no I I didn't think so either but

1:16:10
I mean I mean it could if you're yeah I guess I mean would there be would there be you could make it prideful if you

1:16:17
want here's here's what I here's how I'll answer that question um are there

1:16:23
some h that might have seemed redundant uh

1:16:30
possibly um and yet I think that's how our lives are you know it's like CU I

1:16:37
mean there's been a number of times when we've come together and you know I've

1:16:44
we' I'll say you know either you or I have had an idea and we POS put it out

1:16:50
there and we kind of come back and well that kind of sounds like

1:16:55
the one we already did on or that already sounds like the one we did on listening yeah you know that kind of

1:17:01
thing yeah we've kind of as we've re re we reach 104 you kind of recognize well

1:17:08
it's going you know that's the nature of it it's going to happen so yeah I've uh

1:17:13
come to realize that yeah there's going to be some overlap that's uh that's a part of life I you know it was far

1:17:20
easier at the very beginning and I think um some of those first ones like holy spirit that was uh definitely you know

1:17:28
one of my favorite you know ones you know early on talking about God and and

1:17:33
even humor levity um I even like the you know the first

1:17:38
one we did so much I'll edit that out you got a 15-second delay there well

1:17:44
I don't know what you're supposed to do with it but either way what' you say your the beginning one something uh as

1:17:52
far as Holy Spirit was one of the first ones humor levity um and how I see it our intro I thought was real good

1:18:01
um and then you did you kind of had the Integrity one yeah as far as you know

1:18:07
our lives being a whole and how we you know live our lives yeah so yeah and I think uh yeah thank you Megan she said

1:18:14
bless you oh cool I apologize if I forgot but um my feelings are hurt

1:18:21
again it just happens it just happens but um and mission statement that was

1:18:28
another chesterson fence you know I'm kind of fond of the first ones like you're mentioning that first span I feel

1:18:37
like you know we I don't know I just feel like those were the ones we are like the most excited don't get me wrong

1:18:44
we're excited about and some of them like come out of nowhere we're like man what a good you know what I mean right

1:18:50
but those first I want to say 20 I don't know within those first 20 are probably

1:18:55
my favorites um the wives are in there but yeah uh the chesteron f I really

1:19:00
like that one we we have reference that one often sure yeah so I don't know I'm

1:19:06
and I and I think that's another reason that I'm excited about you know the upcoming interviews yeah to be able to

1:19:13
have you know if if you will even it's almost kind of a testimony type

1:19:19
Dynamic excuse me to be able to ex Megan I'll say excuse you in 15 seconds

1:19:25
and to be able to you know talk that through yeah that's that's another part of it because you just yeah I do have

1:19:33
one I'd like to do over do you yeah which one would that be the Elias Dumber one really yes because the recording got

1:19:42
jacked up yeah yeah but that but that would be the

1:19:47
audio only yeah yeah pretty much just because of the yeah I mean it's pretty

1:19:53
rare you get someone who's national recording artist on your podcast yeah

1:19:58
and so it just felt like a really bummer of a missed opportunity I hear you which

1:20:04
we definitely we definit we definitely didn't get the bump off that we were hoping we would we didn't and I if yeah

1:20:11
I don't yeah don't want to talk about it all right next question uh what was a

1:20:18
topic that was difficult to discuss oh wow there's a few for me to be honest I

1:20:24
mean I already mentioned aging that was that was kind of a tough one cuz uh so

1:20:30
if you haven't realized it Market makes me get vulnerable in almost every episode so there are a good chunk of

1:20:38
them that that I don't necessarily enjoy like

1:20:44
what was the question difficult yeah they're difficult they're difficult um but I I don't regret it and I'm thankful

1:20:51
to have the opportunity and um you know sure but they are difficult um I know

1:20:57
every time I talk about depression that's always difficult I don't you know what I mean mhm

1:21:03
um yeah yeah yeah how about you uh yeah definitely um it would have been and and

1:21:10
granted the probably more so the vulnerability one like you're mentioned um not not we did one on vulnerability

1:21:18
we did yeah that wasn't the one but I think Dark Knight of the Soul Dark Knight of the Soul was definitely a

1:21:24
little more you know difficult in that process and then I believe I wasn't sure whether it was uh transgender where I

1:21:32
shared a little more of my my past experience and you know the abuse and

1:21:38
that kind of thing that was definitely a little more difficult but at the same time it was also something that you know

1:21:44
I believe offers hope to somebody else so yeah I think you know that was

1:21:50
definitely a still a good yeah I guess I just come

1:21:57
away with a greater sense of hope for what God can do in anybody's circumstance you know when we recognize

1:22:04
and you know even uh well I shouldn't say even but especially um Sarah Halls

1:22:10
um you know yeah abortion yeah on abortion that was

1:22:15
um when you think of difficult you know to I think you know to that one was a

1:22:21
difficult one like I don't but no but because of that level of

1:22:27
vulnerability and you know asking someone to share to that degree you know

1:22:33
we it it was difficult in the sense of not taking the topic lightly yeah and

1:22:39
yet I think you know it was it was so beneficial because there's a lot of

1:22:46
these topics that we really we knew we had to have somebody else address order

1:22:54
to do it justice cuz we couldn't just sit in here and talk about some of these topics yeah and and actually one of

1:23:02
those that's been on the docket since the very beginning is racism and we've said from it just like abortion those

1:23:07
were two that were on the list for a long time that we said well we're not willing to just sit here and chat about

1:23:13
those we want to get someone who had you know who can answer from that side of the picture um and have that

1:23:19
conversation so that one's still you know on the docket but abortion thankfully Sarah I'm just so thankful

1:23:25
she was willing to come share her story a little bit and chat with us and um that one was hard I'm so thankful she

1:23:32
was there and to do it I think along those lines the ones where we stretch a

1:23:39
little bit into territory that and we we try and be very how I see it very transparent

1:23:45
about like we're not necessarily the most qualified to talk about this but it's an important topic so here we go I

1:23:51
mean even last week we did a conversation about marijana it's like I said I don't know anything about

1:23:57
marijuana I don't you know I just know what's happening in culture around me that kind of thing and so there's a few times where we talk about stuff them

1:24:03
like just like we're just talking about it from how I see it perspective so just make sure you understand that like we're

1:24:09
not trying to right so those can be difficult just in the sense of trying to balance it properly sure to where yeah

1:24:17
to where we're not just offering our biases to somebody else to reaffirm

1:24:24
right but yet we're actually talking about things in a way that is a little bit polarizing to where we're able to

1:24:32
have or accept influence from one another yeah yeah yeah and there's so

1:24:38
many topics that are very faux right a lot of topics that we've covered we tried to cover because they're kind of f

1:24:45
or you know polar you know they're a topic that can be polarizing and therefore they can be f it can be faon

1:24:51
so those you know they can always be challenging you thinking about that Dad

1:24:56
joke I'm thinking I'm thinking about the use of the word FAA in that it can be FAA but that's okay it's true it can be

1:25:05
uh might that you asked me what I was they can be

1:25:11
challenging so as far as difficulty goes those are difficult to try and yeah say

1:25:17
what you think should be said but in a way that says but also take it with a grain of salt it's just me saying it and

1:25:23
like kind of trying to treat those topics with respect and balance and properly is and

1:25:29
I don't there's a lot of times you know to PHS question about ones you wish you could redo there are a lot of times

1:25:35
where I feel like I just don't know if I we said it right if that sense it's more

1:25:40
than me but I no no no I would I would dare say there you know as far as a redo

1:25:46
I'd still say no right and yeah agree are are there are there edits that I would make or times when I would have

1:25:53
thought about I wish I would said it I think I think we even took one episode I forget which one it was um or there was

1:26:00
one where we definitely maybe it was a year in review last year uh I think what do we well I think

1:26:07
we identified some things that we would do differently you know and I think there cuz I I knew there was

1:26:14
one at least one area that I I wish I would have I would have I wish I would

1:26:19
have stated it differently but yeah yeah yeah do you know this person do I know this person oh sure Aaliyah by all means

1:26:26
that's that's Chris's niece my niece you say it Aaliyah Aaliyah Snider Aaliyah

1:26:33
Snider yep thank you Aaliyah Snider good to have you Aaliyah thanks for uh

1:26:38
stopping by yeah awesome no doubt well comments are drying up you guys got any

1:26:45
other thoughts what what did you ask him to say earlier I guess that's that was the questions that are coming in is that

1:26:51
correct yeah we were answering questions that came in is that what you you asked them earlier I can't remember the

1:26:56
question you asked oh when I put it out there as far as yeah any uh favorite episodes faor that's that's what I put

1:27:02
it out there yeah are there any episod what was your least favorite episode Andor you answered the question is there

1:27:10
a topic that was difficult to hear or one that you wish we would do

1:27:15
over I'd love to hear have them answer if there was like no the question for them oh sure topic they wish we would do

1:27:22
over or it was difficult to hear painful I know yeah there's probably been more than one that's been painful for our

1:27:28
wives to listen to there's no doubt there they've mentioned that a few times but yeah and also there were some boring

1:27:35
ones I know that yeah so what would what would your least favorite be uh least

1:27:41
favorite yep your least favorite I got to go back to the list

1:27:51
here thinking of least favorite seriously was taking ourselves too

1:27:57
serious right yeah yeah and yeah probably probably I'll

1:28:03
I'll be honest probably one of mine might be beards and Tattoos because I would have thought if somebody said what

1:28:08
was their least favorite I would have thought maybe that would have came up and that's probably because that might

1:28:14
be mine that's funny yeah I don't feel that way well that's okay I have fond

1:28:21
memories of that one do you really I well I do not mean to to diminish your fond memories you just hurt my feelings

1:28:27
again that's fine I'm used to it at least you're getting used to

1:28:34
it yeah I have f m to that one okay but it was it was fun don't get me wrong

1:28:39
there's a difference between you and me which is as everybody knows I like talking about

1:28:45
myself and Mark does not

1:28:50
so yes sorry everyone no oh Sarah's here yay she said thank you oh cool cuz

1:28:57
Michelle said I'm still so proud of Sarah for that she will continue to touch people with her story which agree

1:29:02
a th% no doubt y thank you all what was the topic this so what was your least

1:29:10
favorite philli said philli Phil my brother said no other show was more

1:29:15
thought-provoking and challenging he's referring to the Sarah episode yeah that

1:29:20
was I yeah very much feel the same way about that so was very um yeah it's good

1:29:28
I challenge anyone if you feel super strongly and judgy about a certain

1:29:33
particular topic which I didn't feel that way about abortion just a we clear but like putting someone across from you

1:29:38
and letting them tell you their story will change your perspective it's it's a

1:29:45
in a good way you will loosen some of that you know that yeah that's you know

1:29:51
we' talked about this before too but um part of celebrate covery they get testimony we hear testimony every other

1:29:57
week and sure that over the last years we've been doing CR has really changed

1:30:04
my heart on a lot of the polarized topics oh no doubt right you hear about people what's the quote of marks people

1:30:11
who are like that are normal because can you say it the right way CU

1:30:17
it's very you're getting B no weirdos aren't weird if they grew up you knew their

1:30:24
parents were weird they're not if you knew how weird their parents were you'd realize that they're not that

1:30:32
weird that nailed it bumper sticker [Laughter]

1:30:38
worthy yes you're trying still you're not I can never I can't there's

1:30:45
absolutely nothing nothing wrong with you yes everything you do do makes

1:30:51
perfect sense based on who you are and where you've come from nice

1:30:58
job so hard I don't know why cannot cannot I

1:31:04
need to write it down that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the

1:31:10
next amen well done is that a tough one for you but it's similar yeah all right

1:31:17
couple other comments uh oh I like that one from there's another one from Aaliyah too that was uh sorry go ahead

1:31:24
read down youum go ahead I did I jumped down too but if it was something else oh that's a good question yeah uh I like

1:31:30
the ones on conflict I didn't like the AI one okay yep aiod we we notice with

1:31:37
our wives like when we talk about relational type things it's better and when we talk about some of the

1:31:42
relational stuff we get from our wives I mean let's be honest like AI you know doesn't really impact Megan so I get

1:31:50
that yeah the other one uh I think Chris groaned out was h ISM or was that Megan

1:31:55
could have been both yeah could have been both that was not a favorite of theirs I I thought it was super

1:32:00
interesting but whatever um Sarah said Pride was my favorite and also the most

1:32:07
difficult to listen to that's good yep uh yeah so you want to read is

1:32:13
she your nie yeah n did your co-host opinion ever surprise you in

1:32:19
any any episode there we go couldn't quite fill out that last did did my opinion surprise you in any

1:32:29
episode I have one in my mind all right go ahead I'm gon to look through the list I'll I'll be honest with you um gun

1:32:38
control was one that I was what was my opinion first well to be honest with you

1:32:44
I gave you a little more I think I extended that our lives

1:32:50
were a little more similar from a background okay you know that you

1:32:55
basically grew up with guns in high school the same way I did right you know I extended that to you based on the fact

1:33:03
you came from you know Minot yeah you know that kind of thing I said yeah which there was a lot of hunters sure

1:33:09
around me but it just wasn't my life yeah so that that was probably one that probably surprised me the most as far as

1:33:17
that goes and then even just the ability that uh you know not I wouldn't say you

1:33:22
were uh more I I wouldn't say we were far away

1:33:28
but yeah just on that Continuum yeah no did I think that was one where we

1:33:33
because and I remember sending uh that one that one actually came about um as

1:33:39
we were talking about Australia's gun control and so on and so forth and we were sending some articles back and

1:33:44
forth um yeah that was that was definitely so we were we were definitely doing some factchecking on that one yeah

1:33:51
that was a fun one as far as uh just our differences actually being able to be

1:33:57
talked through I think that was definitely a fun one you know as far as

1:34:02
our our our actual ability to be polarized on that topic was kind of fun

1:34:08
in that yeah I agree I like I like when we have a bigger Gap I agree I enjoy

1:34:14
that but it's pretty rare I mean yeah you know no I hear yeah but would you was there any other

1:34:20
time that was surprising I'm still looking you got any other well I was thinking about you with pride

1:34:26
I think Pride was one of those ones that as when you think about changing a

1:34:31
perspective I think it was just kind of how different we were yeah um yeah I've

1:34:37
thought about it too in the context of I think we both uh think about Legacy

1:34:42
maybe now a little differently than we did when we first started it when you bought brought up the word um a work I

1:34:51
think that's kind of what you a work when you talk about the two years being a work I think that's a great example of

1:34:59
what that Legacy means to you to have something of value that you are leaving

1:35:04
behind yeah that goes to the pride episode I think yes so that that is a good example of where it was I was

1:35:11
surprised that we were as different as we were right sure in just in the sense

1:35:17
that you we talked a lot at length about it but like for me to be able to

1:35:22
accomplish something that's you know that that's of worth and to be able to hold it show it yeah is like mean

1:35:29
something and for you it just didn't have that kind of meaning um yeah so I

1:35:34
think I was surprised by that and like to me I just kind of came into the like

1:35:39
you with gun control came into the conversation with an assumption that we would kind of be in line with the same

1:35:45
idea and then it wasn't sure again I enjoy that and I enjoyed uh kind of

1:35:51
rethinking Pride from that perspective you know sure um so yeah that's good answer oh

1:35:58
for me yep hypnosis was Michelle's least favorite she's right up there with Chris

1:36:05
and uh Megan y That's funny exactly uh thank you I'm glad you guys are being

1:36:10
honest please keep them coming uh let's see Jimmy said the AI probably changed

1:36:15
his perspective the most interesting oh wow I'd like to know more more about that what that means but yeah I think if

1:36:23
I had to guess I think Jimmy's similar to you in his kind of frustration with

1:36:29
technology I gotcha um so I could see how it could be a little enlightening to

1:36:34
hear about how it's being used in a lot of good ways maybe yeah yeah yeah sure maybe and that it's not this uh fancy

1:36:41
robot in a room it's like you know yep um maybe I don't know different

1:36:47
viewpoints that's for sure yep um any other my opinion surpris

1:36:54
any of your other opinions surprise you um no not really I mean I thought

1:37:02
capitalism socialism was good you you definitely you definitely had a a

1:37:09
more I I I give you credit for being more enlightened where in in a positive

1:37:16
sense okay about you know a um I forget the word you a socialistic

1:37:22
perspective yeah uh you you had a word for it moderated

1:37:29
Democrat Democratic view something Democratic Socialist yeah something like

1:37:34
that that's not yeah but there was some other Viewpoint that I thought you did a nice job

1:37:40
of it was a good awareness for me yeah based on hearing that from you yep cool

1:37:49
yep um yeah that's good I just had one

1:37:54
shoot least favorites is that what you had or no where it changed oh um shoot I

1:38:03
just Li stop talking oh Excellence I I think that was one where I was a little surprised that we

1:38:10
weren't maybe I I might be fzy but for me I had this idea that you and I were

1:38:16
like Excellence really matters and you surprised me with like maybe not so much

1:38:22
MH and I thought just based on the Excellence I see from Mark and the work that he does and the effort he puts into

1:38:30
the things he does that of course he thinks Excellence is of utmost importance like I do you know and I

1:38:36
think I think you helped moderate my view a little bit on that too you know the sense of like oh yeah so you can

1:38:42
still be excellent but not care so much about it sure which is you know yeah

1:38:47
yeah no doubt nice Ernie's Linda scho there she is

1:38:53
sure enough nice nice to have you Linda yep good to have you what was your least

1:38:58
favorite episode Linda be honest please there you go we've already heard some so

1:39:05
you won't hurt her feelings more than mine already is that's an ongoing theme so yes indeed

1:39:12
no doubt I see Michelle put a Target I don't know what that is but I mean what it's for spot on laugh out loud that's

1:39:19
what your wife said to the hypnosis was my least favorite oh okay yeah I think I

1:39:25
think she's laughing that we were saying yeah everyone yeah that's probably everyone's least favorite that would be

1:39:32
my guess you think I don't know I don't know that's okay three out of I AI might

1:39:39
have been one of the closer to the bottom for me yeah yeah yeah that's funny now let's just thinking about but

1:39:46
I did not mean to hurt your feelings by saying that that's right I'm just keeping them steady at the same hurt

1:39:52
level okay so yes just keep it there and we we're fine

1:39:58
beautiful uh yeah what do you guys think of the studio this oh go ahead you're gonna so I that being said I realize

1:40:06
we're coming down on a uh yeah we're heading towards two hours on this oh wow

1:40:11
yeah so that being said would there be anything else that you would want to say

1:40:19
based on getting close to being able to wrap up this

1:40:24
session this episode I think mainly just a big fat thank you sure to all you guys

1:40:30
for being a part of this journey and contributing your commentary your your jokes your your feedback uh mentioning

1:40:38
the episodes uh that your least favorite helping me name my truck that's just

1:40:43
from tonight oh sure you know but like the whole journey has been really enjoyable because of you guys and um

1:40:49
being able to have those conversations I think you and I are in the same boat where if there was never any conversations

1:40:56
from any of y'all during this period of time the purpose wouldn't have been there and we wouldn't have been able to

1:41:01
sustain it but it's felt for purposeful because of those sure conversations we've had yeah so just thankful I think

1:41:08
that's the main thing I'd like to leave with and I think uh what was it um just

1:41:14
a little was it a little more little more be all right yeah we talked about

1:41:20
kind of what um that was one of the first ones or earlier ones look at our

1:41:25
studio audience oh sorry well I've been looking at you most of the evening so um

1:41:31
as as you're closing up and you're okay am I closing up am I am I hunkering in

1:41:37
no just joking now either way um as I thought as we talked about a

1:41:43
little more be right um I was able to think about it in the context

1:41:48
of or we talked about it in the context of what this would be

1:41:53
and I think I give you credit because you had a uh a view of what a podcast

1:42:01
could be in terms of how many people and you know being able to grow a podcast to

1:42:09
you know so many you know listeners that kind of thing and we didn't go there you

1:42:16
know but still as we've done this by God's Grace

1:42:23
you know with your help with your your listenership um I'm just I'm just

1:42:30
thankful for each one that's out there you know each one of you that listens

1:42:36
and to that degree that makes it worthwh as far as we're concerned I don't know

1:42:41
where were we 20 40 40s you know the numbers ranged but it really hasn't

1:42:48
necessarily mattered as much the process of just being able to hear from one or

1:42:53
two people be able to say Hey you know this meant something I appreciate you

1:42:59
sharing that it was uh it was just it was just really good it's been really fun yeah

1:43:07
yeah uh Linda said better late than never like every pod I like every

1:43:13
podcast just hearing your voice is my favorite thing I just listen there you go that is so nice thank you no doubt no

1:43:20
doubt they're all laughing at Mark's bedtime oh yeah when uh you said we're

1:43:25
wrapping up uh Megan said it's Mark's bedtime got Michelle's laughing Al is

1:43:32
laughing I hear you I'm no I'm actually fine but uh I am uh now Mark's feelings

1:43:37
are hurt finally no I'm I'm Keep It Coming guys I'm actually good you look Bri eyed

1:43:45
and bushy tail bushy bearded yeah I'm just I'm just Mindful and I think that's

1:43:50
the the thing I think if yes truth be told he's like they're bored out of their minds no truth truth

1:43:57
be told I tend to be the moderating limiter on our on our times when we do

1:44:03
we do a podcast it's like okay this is going to be about how long and you guys would be so bored if it wasn't for

1:44:10
Mark's moderation uh or calculation okay yeah

1:44:16
yeah but no so yeah by all means if you guys have more questions he's getting gray yes

1:44:23
we already discussed that but I'm glad this isn't the attempt to make you feel bad again so hurt your feelings oh okay

1:44:30
maybe yeah I don't know but I'm okay with that too man I tell you I'm not

1:44:35
easily offended anymore I'm I'm you're not you're not I'm gonna have to work I don't think I've ever seen Mark offended

1:44:41
just so you know so you're going to have to try a lot harder oh Michelle said we need a truck name I guess we got to pick

1:44:47

1:51:03
question I like honeydew I like bumper sticker good choices and I like bergford okay I mean

1:51:11
I like them all but those are probably my top three okay so said Piney is my

1:51:17
final vote oh I like honey do aim to please they're on the edge of our seats

1:51:31
yes to do her honeydew list so you're you're you're right we're on the edge of

1:51:36
our seats yep all right I think I like bergford

1:51:42
okay bergford it is my last name is Sternberg yeah and it sounds like the opposite of Sternberg bergford but also

1:51:49
it's a Ford yeah bergford Berg for yeah that's where he's at I like it and

1:51:56
it's kind of like a I don't know yeah it it actually has a

1:52:03
name appeal to it but yet there's also a meaning behind it that's right it has a connection I feel bad to all the other

1:52:10
names though CU I like them all do you I do really yeah okay I like

1:52:17
them all because I know who contributed them so it's like when I hear you know
