5:48 zero and building the whole newsletter And I can write about events that are happening at the church And I pick up a lot of what's said in the announcements So it's easy So I'm like I want to write an opening Christmas message For the newsletter I'm like I got nothing I don't know what is the proper thing to say Howdy y 'all Howdy Bridge Churchers I know Probably not, okay Christ is born And so I went into chat GPT And I said I need a Christmas message For a congregation That's what I put in there And it just spewed out Do you have the original that came out of it? No, of course, because I edited it Was it super flowery? Lots of adjectives And it was really long And so I just looked at it And I used it as a springboard Okay Well, welcome to the club And I said I can't even believe I'm coming clean with you on this That was amazing And here you're calling me out You were not supposed to talk about this on the show What?

8:12 was it Oh wait, here's the effort My credit card I think I can just swipe Here's the last four digits It was good though It was a good side And everything was great Yes But she also had some fantastic hors d'oeuvre And of course She called it the Tower of Power The Tower of Power, right? Yes And David's a wine guy So he starts off with the perfect champagne And then he has two different wines And not a lot But everyone gets a nice little appropriate pour Yes And it's matched perfectly And he's got the temperature right And he was just good from beginning to end Yeah I mean, even despite the fact He had the Jets versus the Cowboys Oh yeah Game on in the corner Yes Which even I looked at for a moment Oh, okay, they're winning All right, well, that's good But it was great Yes And we just had a wonderful, wonderful discussion And we went around the table And told everybody what we were thankful for It was great It was really nice And of course we didn't have our family there It was our spiritual family But not our kids, you know Yeah And we got like an emoji And I was a little upset Yeah, I was upset that I hadn't heard from my girls all day Yeah So I was so upset And I came out to you and I'm like I have not heard from them all day And I said, I'm not taking my phone I'm not taking my phone I didn't even take my phone with me I left it at home Yeah And we came home and you had emojis I had messages, actually Oh, you had messages Oh, you had messages Okay, well, Christina's in Holland And they, of course, don't do a Thanksgiving there So she said, oh, yeah, oh, gee Happy

9:43 belated Thanksgiving, at least Yeah That was nice, at least she acknowledged it Well, after I said, we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner Yeah Oh, yeah, sorry Yeah, because it's not in their mind Not at all Yeah So I titled the newsletter Sloppy Seconds Again I earned that And we got an interesting message from Jay Inventura And I'm going to read what he said Oh, really? Yes, he said Please, please, all caps, don't shoot the messenger I know that the two of you are new believers And it takes time for you to feel at home With your transformed life in Christ It is the job of your older brethren To provide some guardrails While I have debated Rocking your boat over the term corksoker It is more important immediately To urge you to consider abandoning forever The use of the term sloppy seconds Please read the definition of the term At Wikipedia or not for the faint of heart Urban dictionary Please protect yourself by not using that term During your next podcast Well, obviously, I've used it But I want to explain the context In which I used it And I understand I know what it means Well, there's multiple meanings There's multiple meanings Yeah, I mean, you can find double meaning In almost anything these days Exactly And so the reason that I did that Was because you were leaving You were leaving to go to Austin To go get your haircut And Phoebe thought she was going with you Okay And she's running towards the door And she's like, I'm going with you I'm going with you And we're

11:15 like, no, no, no You know, you got to stay with mom You got to stay with mom And she's like, oh And so you leave And she just looks at me like, huh That's why I thought I was sloppy seconds She's like, oh, I'm with her all day Yes However Yes However, I know it flipped on a dime It sure did But that's the context in which I used that And I feel like I earned that Because she's your buddy I mean, you walk her three times a day You let her romp in the weeds That's normal However However Two things One And we are the perfect parents for her I mean, I know I've always wondered about people who Talk about their dog as a child But okay, we're kind of there She was a little mouthy the other night And we were in bed And she started barking And it's not an alarmed bark It's like, hey Yeah, like, I don't want to be in here Let me out And you went into the studio open door Like, hey Hey, Francis Or whatever you said to her And she was quiet after that So you're really good at that But the other day I'm out in front All the way in the front Yes She was frolicking around In the deep grass over there Yes And we can see you coming up the back way She saw you She saw my car She saw your car Well, she sees every car She sees every plastic bag that floats by But she sees airplanes Like, bark at the airplane She saw your car She perks up I said, that's mom She starts

12:48 running All the way And you're pulling into the garage And she's hoofing it And then she decides No, no, no I'm not going to make it So she then veers off to the left To go right in the front door She can barely wait for me to take the leash off She runs around to the back door You were already in Let me tell you This dog never runs for home that quick Ever She's like, let me sniff this Let me eat some poop No, I'm usually pulling her Yes, yes, yes So she loves you, man I know She has it in for you I had already written the newsletter And sent it out When I experienced that That she was like Oh, I'm stuck with you again And for all the love that you have for Phoebe You kind of tried to kill my plant That was in the newsletter too Yeah, you kind of tried to kill my plant And let me Hold on I featured a photo in the newsletter From 2015 We were dating Oh my gosh Maybe five months And you were going on the I Love Laundry No Agenda tour When we still had the Airstream Yes, yes And I remember you were packing up And you were going And then you sent me a picture And you had your plant In the front seat buckled in And I'm like, okay I didn't realize this plant was like so Well, at that point I already had had it for quite a while Tell the history of the plant Well, it was given to be my first And only and last agent Matthew Lesher Who never got me

14:21 a gig, ever No, he got me Circus of the Stars I'll give him that And he sent it one time He didn't get you the Sam Goody commercial? No, no, no, no It was much later that I got Matthew Lesher And for the Marion Rosenberg agency Oh my God There's a whole bunch of stories right there Anyway And he sends it as a Christmas gift He sent a money tree You know, Matthew, typical Jewish agent guy You know, and he's like I got you a guilt tree And I'm like, okay So that's kind of cute Because, you know, he's sending me a So what year did you get this? This must have been Were you in Texas? I was in Texas So it had to be 2010 Okay Yeah, 2010, I think Yes Yeah, because I was still up at Panorama So 2010 And, you know, and I just watered it And just kept it And it was in this little container In the same container that it had been Same one it came in And, you know, it sprouted And, you know, I got divorced And I got to my plant, man It was my plant I've never had a plant I've never managed a plant And you affectionately named it Plant Plant, it's name is Plant I know, I was very creative And so I just decided I'm going to keep plant alive And plant seemed pretty indestructible Plant just, you know, kept on going And then, you know, plant moved Through our moves And plant came here And plant, you know, plant was not doing so well And you've said throughout the years You know, I really got to repot that And

15:55 it just became one of those things That we never did Not blaming you But at a certain point This thing is, it's like dead It's like, it's got one It's got one shoot coming out Going like, are you going to repot me now? And so I finally did it It's a little crispy I mean, I'm praying for it In the morning, I said Please, Lord, please, let this plant live And I got the dirt And I did it all And I think you were amazed that I did it I don't think you expected me to do it Because I'm like, oh, I have to go buy a bag of dirt I'm like, I don't want to buy a bag of dirt At a certain point Because I was afraid to bring it up I'd be like, you know, plant Are you going to buy the dirt? I'm like, okay, I'm never saying anything again I'm going to get the dirt And I did And I got the dirt And I repotted it A huge bag It's huge I don't know That's all they had 30 pound bag of dirt That's all they had How does Adam open it?

16:46 How does Adam open it? So he lays it flat Like a bag of cocaine And he slits open Right in the middle of the front of the bag I didn't want to spill any I thought it would be easier You cut the corner That's not a cool way to do it, man So then I go You open the bag like that I go, how are you going to store that? I'm just going to throw the rest of it away I'm like, no It's dirt And you're like, no, keep it Okay, so I put it in a plastic bag And it's in the garage And we'll see if it ever gets used It will when I plant flowers next year It'll get used And it's got the miracle grow in there And everything You're rooting for your plant We are rooting for the plant Go plant, go Now, tell the truth What?

17:30 Do you blame me for killing your plant? A little bit Not really Because I could have gotten the dirt I could have repotted it But you did kind of say That you would do it one day I mean, did you say that? I did, yes And I just never got around to it No, but I can't blame you Because it's from before our marriage Before our relationship I always wondered if you had A little bit of an issue with plants Like plant envy? Where is my I forgot my I'll write it down Plant envy, there it is I don't know I didn't want to push it I was like, maybe I just remember when you would water it It was in the same little container And it was in a So it was a little square container It's a Japanese money tree That's what it is, right?

18:14 Yeah And then it was in another container That had all these little rocks And you'd water it The water would overflow And it would go down the wall Because it was on the windowsill I came to despise that plant Yeah, see? So I wasn't envious I'm like, oh, this thing You were just waiting for it to die So you could toss it And I snatch it from the jaws of death And it looks like I mean, we're going to keep track of the progress It's a little crispy Do you think it'll make it? I think it needs a defibrillator I need prayers for plants, everybody Please I brought my spider plant back to life I don't know how I moved it out of the sunlight And it came back to life Well, I don't know I really want plant to work I really do Plant, yeah Plants not looking good Either is penny Our other plant that's out We name our plants Penny the plant She's not looking good either Yeah, but she never really grew very well No, no I was looking at it the other day And I'm like, you know what?

19:13 You know what we are not? We are not plant people We are not good at plants I find it too much responsibility, actually And I'm thinking to myself When I saw Penny out there I'm like, you know You're going to be a plastic pretty soon Just like our grass We've got astroturf in the back The plant I have on the porch is plastic, too And you want chickens I know You want chickens I can't even take care of plants No way I can't even No way can we have chickens Well, you know what? I have reference in the newsletter And I know this is on the best of show About how I watered my plastic plant for two years So, I, you know I don't know I guess maybe that kind of tainted me a little bit Well, anyway Anyway I don't blame you Yes I'm not happy But I don't blame you I'm sorry But you saw how much I have affection I finally wound up doing it Yes After almost 15 years Yes I'm finally going to try and make this plant work Yes Because what happened was And this is really nice Tina is And this is for the listeners Hello, listeners Tina is a picture hoarder But in a very specific way She will delete pictures over time that are no good That don't pass the mustard She just She prunes everything She is an archivist in the truest sense of the word Anything that is double or not great goes But what she keeps is I mean Archives back to your childhood Yes For some reason They had iPhones I'm sentimental They

There's no HOV lane? No, no I can't explain it Well, then why did you say it? Because it just came up Bergelijk It's cute It's common It's togetherness It's like It's a very Dutch term It just came up I don't know Oh Sorry Okay So that Willow could laugh I got one listener, Willow She's like, oh yeah, that's right Bergelijk Okay Anyway, I just wanted to point that out That I love how we sit down So I was telling you yesterday how Because of being in God's word And also just being Just gaining wisdom and knowledge And practicing the fruit of the spirit Not practicing, living the fruit of the spirit And just embodying to be like Christ That the story of my childhood has changed The way that I view it has changed completely And I don't view it or speak about it Like I once did Which was really in kind of negative terms I have Because I'm in God's word every

51:39 day He has flipped the narrative To where it's peaceful and positive And so I was looking today Usually God will present the scripture to me But I was looking today And I came up with this scripture That I think really embodies That feeling that I have That feeling of peacefulness And just feeling I'm so calm about it I don't feel like I'm harboring any strife or animosity No, it's gone So anyway The scripture is Philippians 4, verse 19 Whatever you have learned or received Or heard from me Or seen in me Put it into practice And the God of peace will be with you And that perfectly sums That perfectly sums up where I am With respect to my childhood And another interesting thing that has happened to me Is I don't live really in the past anymore Where I used to live in the past all the time And now I just live very much in the present So I don't really think a lot about past childhood things But when I just think about my family in general My mom and my dad And being around my sisters I just have such a peaceful I'm so happy for you That's beautiful And that only came because I'm in his word every day I'm in his word And reading it, practicing it Embodying it, living it

Oh, piece of advice or guidance Guidance Yeah Wow Oh, man I'm trying to No, I would love to be on the other side of thinking So next week you're doing it Yeah, I'll do it next week for sure Yeah Um, piece of advice or guidance That has stuck with you today I gotta be honest I can't think of a single thing of wisdom that someone has said to me that has stuck with me to today Even like when you think about Lex?

1:00:02 He's, that's not advice that's shareable on the show Why don't you go first and I'll see if something pops up for me So when I was 20 years old and I started working downtown at Boulevard Bank And I worked for a man named Jack Starkey Okay Jack Starkey Jack Starkey Cool And he was very pivotal in my career And I came from, you know, blue collar, northwest Indiana, you know Rough around the edges And I remember I had said something and I said, yeah, I don't know nothing And he goes, let me tell you That's a double negative You actually said that?

1:00:46 Yes, because I didn't know that's how I spoke Now I understand why you always hate it when I say that So that I didn't realize Yes Because I say it as a joke Yes, and so I said it and he corrected me And I was like, oh, okay And I never, ever made that mistake again, ever Well I will not speak like that, a double, I don't know nothing I always wondered why you, I said, do you really think I don't understand how to speak best English? Because I always say, they don't know nothing Yeah And you're like, that's a double negative I know, I know, they don't know anything Because it had such an impact on me Oh, interesting I didn't even know that that was an issue I remembered my things, by the way Okay This actually came at a little later stage in my life My first business partner, Ron Bloom When I was out of MTV and started OnRamp It's the three rules of business Would you like to hear the three rules of business?

1:01:48 Because these have, there are other things, but this is the one that pops to mind Okay Rule number one Never negotiate against yourself Yes, that's good Number two, if you don't want to do the job, raise the price Yes And number three, don't run out of money Oh Those are the three rules of business Yeah, it stuck with me Okay It stuck with me Can you practice those today? I mean, you've always said to me when I was negotiating salary You always said, don't negotiate against yourself Negotiate against yourself, yeah And I was like, what does that exactly mean? By saying, well, they'll never pay this Or they'll never want to give me that Yes That's negotiating against yourself Oh, yeah And if you don't want to do something, raise the price That's an easy one And don't run out of money Actually, there's a second part to that is Don't try and raise money when you're out of money Oh You want to raise money from investors when you have money Yes That's like you want to find a job when you have a job That's exactly right Yeah Yeah So take that wisdom I think that is in Proverbs 6 somewhere Oh, are you?

1:02:52 No Like you are really showing off now Not even close Oh my gosh Not even close No, in that case, it's all Ecclesiastes It's all just grasping at the wind Yes All of it is just vanity All of it Yes, yes And then with that, Mrs. Curry Yes I would like to thank you very much for being here And thank you for going on the date with me And I'm very excited about tomorrow night Yeah, pizza Pizza Here we come baby Rock and Roll I love you security I love you so much We'll see you next Wednesday everybody Yup Alright, bye-bye
