2:52 Is this what you did? Is this what's going on now? The secret little Annette She blew your cover, man I looked at her with the evil eye It wouldn't make any difference It wouldn't matter if we did it once every six weeks I'd still have to drag you in every single time You know, the reason why is because it's so late I mean, it's almost 8.40 now I'm used to no makeup on, slinking on the couch Watching a little TV The life of the housewives of Fredericksburg Fredericksburg, I tell you I'm telling you, it's rough It's rough I had just floated the idea like Maybe I'll ask them if we could go back to every other week No, people What would people do with their lives?

11:11 I had this nervous energy And I think it was because To me it's such a personal moment And it was going to be on public display And I felt that until I walked into the church And when I walked into the church I felt like the Holy Spirit just calmed me down So yes, I feel like I'm definitely I got some messages though tonight I need to work on a few things Okay Yeah, so it was good Like being nice to your husband Or the Holy Spirit said come in And just be curt with him Just checking what the Holy Spirit said to you Oh, it's between me and the Holy Spirit That's right What's between you and me is We are now watching the fourth In the series of Bridget Jones Diary Yes, oh we got to finish that We won't be able to finish it tonight This has been great because We watched it out of order We watched the fourth one And I've never seen any of the Bridget Jones Diary stuff I'm like, you know, it's chick movies Admittedly, it's a chick movie It's totally a chick movie But it has a great soundtrack And so then we went back and watched the first one Then watched the second one And then we found out there's a third one That we didn't even know about Yes, yeah So that's, there you go But more than that We've been watching The House of David Man, that is so good Yes, this is about David in the Bible It's amazing Yeah, basically it starts in the book of Samuel I think Yes, yes, you're right It starts in the book of Samuel And it's interesting because You know, you just And this is like I can see the meeting Because this is an MGM production

It's not a problem Yes, we were invited to go to the gala dinner For the Phoenix Center in Marble Falls And we committed to this with our friend Mark Hall Who went with us to Patriot Academy And we know Mark for a long time And he had asked us to come And we had been asked to sit at the table of one of the board members So, yeah, it was like, okay We had no idea what to expect What we knew is that Pastor Jimmy and Annette At that same moment, that evening Were in Cedar Park with Crowder and Cain And Toby Mack at the concert We knew that And they were sending pictures like It's so awesome here Sorry, geez It only would have been better if you were here Yeah Okay But this was quite the event we went to It was very, very You know, I got the invite for the crawfish boil too I forgot to respond to that So, tell us about it What would you think from your professional opinion?
16:16 What did you think of this event? This is called the Phoenix Center And they're based, I believe, in Marble Falls And what they basically do is They help traumatize children, basically Either through domestic violence or neglect or abuse And the event was very well put together How many people do you think were there? Oh my gosh Hundreds, I don't know 400, maybe 500 people Maybe 500 people, yeah And they kept the program going Which I really liked I looked at the silent auction There was really nothing that we need or that I wanted But we knew we were going to support them in some way Yeah, oh yeah But it was just really well organized And we were invited by Mark But he was really good friends with one of the board of directors, Pasha And she apparently is a big force in this organization And they honored her Yeah, she got an award To her surprise But even the meal was great I mean, lobster and steak Steak and lobster, I mean What was cool is the whole table was filled with Women who Mark had gone to school with High school High school Yeah, I'm like, wow, you're still friends with high school people?
17:25 But they were still friends with him That was amazing Like, really, you still want to hang out with Mark? Yeah It was a fun table, it was interesting people You're right, the program was really tight They had a great testimonial Of course, I love that they start off with a prayer before dinner That showed me I was still in Texas Even though it's Marble Falls Because you drive through Marble Falls, it's like Prosperity bank, even more prosperous bank Rich people bank Marble Falls is pretty affluent I mean, people drop down a lot of cash A lot Yeah, I mean, I stuck my paddle up because I knew that We wanted the cow, the half of the cow I knew that the half of the cow was going to be worth it Because we buy that beef anyway But I got outbid, I'm like, okay I know, what did it go for, $4,000?
18:12 $4,000, $4,000, $5,000? I'm glad I could help raise the price But that's a little out of my league But I was very impressed with the presentation And you know me, I put my non -profit event planning hat on And I look at it from that perspective And I was, I mean, we were both moved by the testimonial Of the family, their son that they adopted Who was basically left with a crackhead boyfriend Couldn't read, couldn't write at 5 years old At 5 years old, anyway, yeah So it was a nice event It was nice to kind of get dressed up too We got you in your suit This is so funny Let's talk about your suit Yeah, my suit only works now because it has a vest And we were able to let the vest out on the back It was one of those little resizer ribbons And it was great because it basically functioned as a corset And kept my stomach inside the rest of my suit Yeah, we need to find me a new suit, I'm afraid Yes, yes, we could do that Now that was my, when did I wear that one?
19:17 You bought that the first time we went to Paris Like that was 9 years ago Right, it's my French suit I almost fit in my old clothes A little bit of a sausage and a kissy Okay, didn't need to hear that You're not fat though, you're far from fat Did I look good? You looked very handsome And so you're like, I step in the scale, I'm 197 I'm actually 195.7 Oh brother, and you eat whatever you want You don't eat a lot though, you're not a big eater I mean, you're a volume eater at meal time But you don't eat, you don't graze No, I graze You're not a grazer I'm grazing away, I don't graze, no I don't graze Yeah, so that was Saturday, so that was really nice And then Sunday, while you were doing the show I headed to Austin, I was invited to this mini health summit Yeah, you bolted man, you bolted to Austin I wanted to go because there were some people that I wanted to see Del Bigtree was there, Casey Means I would have wanted to see him Brigham Bueller was there and Dr. Mark Hyman was there And I wanted to hear them speak And this was a really cool concept I guess it's two VC guys who bought this house This is the arena The arena where you're going to be speaking April 8th I think But it's a house, but it's an event space So you walk in, they had nice gift bags for everybody And you and I were invited as VIP guests
20:48 Everybody who was there was a VIP guest And then you walk in and there was a whole spread of They had goody bags, swag bags Yes, they had a full bar I mean it was no cost And they had a full spread of food with cheese Now did you know anybody there? I knew nobody and I went by myself And did people come up to you and say, hey baby? Yeah, I talked to them No Okay, let me get to that So anyway, this spread of food was brisket and smoked salmon And then they had coffee and dessert It was really nice And so then outside they have this pavilion With a stage riser and there were chairs around it And people started to sit down because the presentation was starting And so I'm looking around and I'm like There are so many beautiful people here That's why you were there No, I mean I thought this is really This has never happened before This is really unusual because everybody Everyone was attractive And I'm thinking, what is going on here?
21:50 This is really strange Come to find out many of them were influencers Oh, okay But were they there to influence brands or products or the event? No, to talk about the message I'm sure, the message And so it was And a lot of it I already knew because we're plugged in I mean I listened to No Agenda And I'm plugged into Casey Means And I saw Brigham Bueller on Was he on Joe Rogan or was he on Tucker? I can't remember One or the other So I knew that And then Dr. Mark Hyman got up there And it was kind of strange Because he brought his puppy to this event It was a most adorable bernie doodle A doodle, yes It must have been maybe three or four months old But he brought his dog, which is really strange And it was freezing outside, freezing So yes, that's why I wanted to go But they brought up this guy This Brian Johnson guy Who was talking about longevity Oh I know, yes, I know who you're talking about I know who this guy is And he was this creepy guy To me, he was young, he was like 44 Talking about living forever But he looks like 54 in my opinion His eyes are black To me his eyes were satanic And so he kept talking about He goes go to don'tdiecertified.com And it's basically using AI To have you live forever And on
23:24 one of his social media posts It's called transhumanism On one of his social media posts He put Jesus Christ is my competitor That's what he said Isn't that crazy? That's satanic That's the whole transhumanist movement That's what a lot of AI is about I wanted to raise my hand and say Do you believe in God? Because you're going to hell Wow No, he was creepy He literally has that on his website? Jesus is my competitor? No, he has it It's an Instagram video Where he says Jesus Christ is my competitor Well good luck with that is what I'd say I know Good luck with that How weird It was very strange So then after that I was like I don't know Time to go So I'm sitting there And I see across the room I see this guy waving at me And I'm like who is that?
24:15 Who is this dude hitting on me? Young guy My hair is all windblown There's a young guy waving at you I look next to me and it's Brett It's Brett and Harry from the Meet Mafia podcast And I went oh my gosh hi And he goes When I finally went up to him He goes yeah I thought you totally dissed me I said I just I didn't make the connection I just didn't make the connection Until I saw Brett How are the boys? They're both getting married I know Brett's getting married in June And Harry is getting married But we gotta have them out to the house Yes they did say that But he asked me Brett goes Tina what did you think of that Brian Johnson? I go apparently he doesn't believe in God And he's like yeah that guy is weird So yeah he was like creepy That kind of I was surprised that they invited somebody like that It's kind of a downer But what Yeah it was kind of a downer But what I was also equally surprised at How many people were RFKJ and Trump supporters there In Austin I was very surprised by that Yes like people are like let's get healthy This is crazy We realize this Our medical system Our big ag Our healthcare systems Have all been hijacked and corrupted You know I talked to Texas Lim today He's like this is so cool The things we've been talking about It's finally happening He's you know He's doing stuff with people who are A part of Maha Yeah Make America healthy again Yeah it's really happening Yeah It's the awareness that's really the biggest thing Yeah I'm surprised every single day I see people like Yeah

28:28 Well I saw you on Joe Rogan And thought you'd be great on my podcast I must have 50 podcast requests Oh really? Yeah Which I'd love to do them all But you know They're just going to have to wait for a while I did do Flashpoint Yes last night Which I had no idea really what Flashpoint was But apparently it's a program that a lot of people watch It's on the Victory Channel I think But also streams live And they just said you know can you come on And you know And just talk about your faith I'm like okay And as I was watching YouTube videos in preparation I'm like well they have this panel Am I in a panel? Is it just me alone? Or you know it seems like they do Sometimes they have only one or two people on So I wasn't quite sure what to expect And they had asked me You know is there anything you want to talk about?
29:15 Yeah Godcaster You know to get some promo in there And then You know they call me five minutes beforehand And I'm like Oh there's eight people here Or whatever You didn't watch a show to see what I just said I watched a few But the format was not always Did you hear me? Are you listening to me? Are you thinking about yourself again? Just in your own dream world? I missed that part So I just said In preparation for the show I was looking I confess I was looking at my notes Instagram You were looking at Instagram No You were texting Annette No look This is my notes Okay well you asked me This is how hard it is to be a podcaster You have to like pay attention to your co-hosts I'm thinking ahead I'm sorry This is why sometimes I have to mute you Just to keep you on your toes And so then all of a sudden All these boxes pop up And there's like And I see Rick Green I'm like I know Rick Green This is cool You didn't know that Rick was going to be on Did you?
30:13 I wasn't sure I had no idea Did you hear your sound? My sound sounded crap too I know I was like This is not the Adam Curry sound But I had just my regular sound So I don't know what they were doing on there And then Rick Green who sounded horrible on my end Sounded better than me I thought so too I have no idea Because it sounded horrible coming back from him Yeah I mean there must have been phase issues I don't know Oh okay They're doing it all on Skype See I listened Yeah you did Yeah you were giving me trouble the other night And there was Dutch Sheets Yeah I'm like wow I read his Give Him 15 almost every single day Yeah And it was interesting because All of a sudden you know It was very political They went straight into politics Right And then they came to me Well Adam what do you think about it?

Godcaster Godcaster is like It's just meeting Meeting after meeting After meeting With church I had a great meeting With Alan C.
36:19 Paul Yes You know He wants to usher That Godcaster Into his church Uh-huh Is he a worship leader At his church? I don't know If he's a worship leader But he He's a musician I know that Oh yeah Oh yeah And he has his own show Uh The God and Gig show I think it's called Okay Uh Value for Value And he had his Uh Like the web guy on The web guy's wife Does Actually does the web stuff And he does a lot of the technology And we're seeing more of these We're seeing more of these churches Saying yeah We kind of get it We want By the way When I was on Flashpoint last night And Godcaster.fm was up there And I did a quick explanation I could see Out of the right hand On my right hand screen My email was going Bloop Bloop Bloop Bloop Bloop Bloop Bloop And it was all churches Oh All churches Yeah That's so cool It is It is Yeah I Like I said to you last night I have never seen you So passionate and excited And About Godcaster And the directive Came from God Oh yeah He told you to stop resisting Yep Told you to lift a thousand voices Yeah And said it was not your exit strategy It was your entrance strategy Yes Only 925 to go.
37:27 We're getting there. 925. Voices. Because 75 people listen to Hello Fred? No, no, no. What do you mean? No, no. We have to lift many more churches. Many, many more churches we need to lift. We're on like 250 stations and frequencies, so it's definitely happening. Yes. It's work, you know. I mean, it doesn't feel like work, but there's a meeting, at least a meeting every single day, and we're talking to people, and man, we talked to the people from Live365 who do the Hello Fred stream, and they were like, oh yeah, we want to do that. And it was interesting because they said that, especially during COVID, that a lot of companies that do hosting and live streaming didn't really want churches or other faith-based institutions as customers.
38:19 Wow. And yeah, and they were like, this is so odd. It's a lost opportunity. I mean, the co-founder of the company, she's like, that made no sense. And luckily we have Matt, and Matt is the guy who actually reached out to us, and he's on fire for Jesus. He's like, he manages that whole side of the business. Wow. And he's like, yeah, no, they have a lot of ministries and faith-based stations, and so we're going to do a partnership. Nice. Yeah, I'm very excited about it. You were kind of, not nervous, you had good energy for that meeting. I was very excited about that meeting, because to me, that was providence.
39:00 Like, this is exactly the partner we're looking for, exactly the people. And they've got a big believer in there running the show, so it was good. What's interesting is that our wine heiress friend has invited you to speak on a panel about the media in April, and it's against, not against, but on the panel will be the editor-publisher of the only newspaper we have in Fredericksburg, which is kind of a slanted newspaper. And then also media, I guess they own several radio stations. So this will be really interesting about you talking about calling local content from the community, because I'm sure they both think that they call local content and report it and present it.
39:50 And they do, but they don't have Matt Long, they don't have Pastor Jimmy, and Damon Nitt, they don't have Currie and the Keeper. And we're just getting started. Yes. We're just getting started. Hellofred.fm, everybody. You can have a listen from anywhere in the world. You'll love it. Come to Fredericksburg and listen to hellofred.fm. Look at you with your radio voice. I think you should say that in the... Yeah, I'll do it just like that. I think you should. Hi, everybody. I'm Adam Currie. Hellofred.fm is what I'm here to represent. And if you want to really hear what's going on in Fredericksburg, tune in right now to hellofred.fm. Here's the latest hit from Crowder. It's 73 degrees on Main Street in Fred. How about a God shot?
40:31 Okay. It's time for Tina's God shot. Okay. This God shot came to me when I was talking to a really good friend of mine. And she was talking about how she was talking to one of her family members who is not a Jesus freak like we are. Not a believer at all? No, a believer, but not in his word, not transforming.
41:11 And he basically, when they were talking, he basically said, you know, I believe in God. He said that to her. And so she was relaying those conversations to me. And I go, when someone says that, what does that mean? What do they mean when they say, oh, I believe in God, but yet they don't follow, they don't read his word. They don't follow him. They're not obedient. And so I just started thinking, because a lot of people say that, and I know that my own daughters have said that, oh, I believe in God, but they don't have a relationship with him. And so explaining God isn't the same as experiencing God.
41:52 And in my notes here, I put we cannot rest in his presence if we do not spend time in his presence. And we talk about this all the time, we have to actively seek a relationship with him. So the next time somebody says, oh, I believe in God, I'm gonna ask probably a little few more questions. Like, what does that mean? What kind of relationship do you have with God? Are you being churchy when you do that, do you think? I just think that it's a blanket statement. I don't think that it's... Just to say that doesn't necessarily mean you have a relationship with God. Is that churchy? Is that legalistic?
42:33 Is that what you're asking me? I think that's what I'm asking. Yeah, I'm just curious about the depth. So anyway, it led me to Isaiah 29, 13, which says, the Lord says, these people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. So how would you help someone like that? If you feel that they don't have that relationship, what would your follow-up be? I would ask them and then I would share my experience about how to get into the Word every day. And if you don't feel comfortable reading the Bible, start with a little devotional just so that you can kind of understand what He wants us to do and how by being in His Word every day, it transforms you.
43:25 It really does. I can't live without it anymore, but I have to say, I still, to this day, the first devotional I do is the You Version. It's still the same one. There's something about it. It gives you that scripture. And by the way, I don't look at the video. I find it very distracting. Oh, you just listen? I just listen. I find it very distracting if I'm watching someone just like, just listen to what you're saying. But it's really helpful. What I want is I want everybody to experience what I've experienced. That's what I want. And so when somebody says kind of flippantly, oh yeah, I believe in God, I want to probe a little bit so that I can minister to them.
44:08 So I don't think that I'm being churchy. No, I just asked. You accused me of being churchy. Well, I did, yes, because it's the way it sounded. Yeah. And so no, I just want, because it's been so transformative that I just want everybody else to experience that. And that's what He's commissioned us all to do. And I reflect back on, and I think I've talked about this when my sister Angie was dying and we were in her, this was 2018. And I was in her hospital room and a nurse came in and she said, can I pray with you? And Angie said, yes, let's pray. And we were all praying. And I've used this word before.
44:48 I said, I felt like such a poser because I knew I had no relationship with God. Angie had no relationship with God. And she was asking Him to save her life. And that's the thing. If you don't develop that relationship with Him, then He doesn't, I mean, He knows you, but there's no connection there. How are your prayers going to be answered when you only want Him at your convenience? Yes. And I totally understand what you're saying. I think my reaction is because even when I was going to church, people would say, well, what's your relationship with God? I had no answer for it. And I felt really put on the spot.
45:30 And I'm trying to think what approach has worked well for me? Because it's really difficult to approach someone who says something like that. And how do you approach them and get them interested and not make them feel like they're doing it wrong? Yes. And that's happened to you. And I would never do that. I would just be like, I am so, I can't tell you how much it has. And I keep using the word transform, transform my life. And I would love for you to have that. Because those strongholds that you're carrying around, I'm telling you, you can put it at the feet of Jesus. So anyway, a lot of people say that, oh, yeah, I believe in God.
46:13 Well, okay, well, but what does that mean? What does that mean? So anyway, so I don't mean to be legalistic. You are far from legalistic. Before we go into... Into our corksoker moment. So the weighted vest crew is together. My two gal pals have their weighted vests. You are forced to be reckoned with. It's like there's a SWAT team in Fredericksburg. You're causing traffic accidents. People are swerving off the road. Yes. And I'm at 20 pounds now. And it's not easy. I can feel it in my legs. I can feel it in my back, my shoulders. If I may say, you look amazing.
46:54 You always look amazing. You know me. I think you're beautiful, no matter what you think of yourself. But you are like, you're pretty athletic looking. Thank you, honey. And I told you, though, I said, when I turn 70, it's all over and I'm going to start wearing Chico's. There you go. I don't even know what Chico's is. I don't want to go there. Yes, curryinthekeeper.com is where you can find out how you can support our Value for Value podcast, which we do every week, not every other week, every single week.
47:43 And I think we might as well start off with a brand new Sam and Ye who we have, who has claimed his Sam and Ye ship, which is just phenomenal because we've been asking for people to check because we know they've been supporting us with PayPal. We know they've been supporting us with... What was that? I don't know what that was. That didn't sound good. Are we still recording? I think so. It sounded like Windows was going to update or something. This is from Rob Kirkpatrick. Yes. From Focus on the Family. He is a very, he is like, him and John Fuller together, as far as I'm concerned, no offense to anyone in the organization, they are Focus on the Family.
48:29 And there's no John without Rob and vice versa. And he is a big Currying the Keeper fan. And he says, and of course we had dinner with him and John in Dallas at the... Houston. Oh, you did. In Dallas. No, not you. I did with Gordon. I met them when we were in Houston a year and a half ago. Met them in Houston as well, yes. Dear Adam and Tina, first off, Adam, it was such a pleasure to spend time with you and Gordon at the National Religious Broadcasters Conference. I'm beyond thrilled with Godcastle.fm and everything you're putting into it. As I sat in the audience during your sessions, I could tell that God has placed the right man in the right place at the right time. The audiences were fully engaged with what you had to share about Hyperlocal Radio and Podcasting 2.0. Yay.
49:12 That's Rob. Yay. Okay, time for me to step out of the streaming Satoshi shadows and say thank you to you, Adam, for working with Dave Jones to create this fantastic way to support the shows we love. Thank you to Tina for being a top -notch producer and playing a crucial role in the weekly wine review podcast that God transformed into a wonderful display of his grace and work in your lives. That was such beautiful words. That is. Curry and the Keeper was the first show I set up in the Fountain app to send streams of appreciation to you and Tina as a listen to each episode. Now I am a salmonier, how about that, having sent almost 520,000 Satoshis to your Fountain wallet from my rdk519 at fountain.fm profile.
49:56 Much love to you both from Rob Kirkpatrick. So we have to do it officially here. So Rob, you are welcome into the tasting room for you. We've got a beautiful little cornucopia of things that you can enjoy while you become a salmonier. We've got brie and berries, pate and pecorino, soppressata salami and stilton cheese, jambon and jarlsberg, mortadella and manchego, chorizo and cheddar, guanciale and gouda, blanc de blanc, of course that comes with a 24 ounce rib eye filet mignon, smothered in Kerrygold butter, a cab franc, midnight moon and piave cheese and dark chocolate with sea salt.
50:39 Yes, you are now an official salmonier. Mr. Rob Kirkpatrick, keep your cork soaked and your heart full of love in the tasting room. Very nice. Good to have another salmonier with us. Yes, and Rob, I will get your glasses out to you. Well, they're sippy cups to be quite honest. They're not sippy cups. They are official Curry and the Keeper glasses and we still have some official salmonier coasters. Yes, very good. Thank you, Rob. Thank you, Rob. I love your note too. Fantastic. Yes. Okay, then we have some other super blessings we've received starting off with $100 from Rosalind D.
51:21 I know. And she has a note. I love Rosalind. It's Rosalind, not Rosalind. Why did I say Rosalind? You said Rosalind. Well, you always say Rosalind. No, I say Rosalind because I specifically asked her when I met her over a few years ago. Okay, I'll edit that out. And here we are. Yes, you will. And we start off with $100 from Rosalind. Did you get her note? No, she sent it to you. She did. I have the note. Hi there. I sent a donation through Tina's PayPal account but wanted to have you, Adam, read this. Your amazing, beautiful Proverbs 31 wife has been so incredibly generous to me lately with her time and information. She knows what about. And this donation is the least I can do to say thank you.
52:04 She is thoughtful, patient, kind, and drop-dead gorgeous. You are a blessed man that God brought your keeper into your life, and I count myself also blessed to call her a dear friend. Thank you, Tina. I cannot wait for the next Blonde Squad plus Tricia get-together, which we need to figure out soon. In him, Rosalind. Oh, that makes me cry. No, it's beautiful. Thank you, Rosalind. Rosalind, I love you. You're so sweet. She is indeed my Proverbs 31 wife. What a beautiful note. Thank you so much. Thank you. My heart is really, really touched. Flying in with 77,777 Satoshis, ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Pastor Jimmy Pruitt. Who recorded a podcast today with his wife.

Dropped, yeah. This is a hipster. This is what the kids are saying these days. It dropped. It's a good listen. It's a very good listen. Okay. As always, I loved everything about the show, but more importantly, I love everything about the both of you. Damonette and I are beyond grateful for our friendship. We get to do this. That's a Jimmy-ism right there. K-Y-B-O-K-T-L-D. K-Y-B-O-K-T-L-D. K-Y-B-O-K-T-L-D. What does he say?
53:25 Have a great day on purpose? No. Well, that's the end of his daily grind. This is Pastor Jimmy Pruitt. Have an amazing day on purpose. Yes. You listen to Hello Fred, you know what we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. It was sweet on their podcast. He said, you know, when we were... Because they were gone for a week, more than a week. Yeah. We really missed the Curry's. Yes. I know. It's about time you're ready to come home. We had the same. I felt like, you know, it didn't feel like they were far away. I know. It didn't feel good. I know. I saw Annette today. We went to lunch and then tomorrow I'm going to go hang out with her. Well, Jimmy and I have our bro date. Bro date. Freed Helms. Everyone wants to come and see what the bro date looks like.
54:06 Freed Helms. We'll be at Freed Helms. Associate Executive Producers today, Theodora Doringa Ogniena. Do we know her? That sounds new to me. I think that's a decanting process. Yes, Theodora. You've been decanted. $25. Thank you for the entertainment, Theodora says. Well, you're more than welcome. I'm happy to provide it. Thank you. Daniel Williams, also $25. Thank you very much, Daniel. I think Daniel's got to be closing on the salmon. Yeah. You check it, Daniel. And then we got, I think, a lovely note from Trinity. Did we not get a note? Yes. Okay. I got it. Okay. And a fresh $20 bill, which is beautiful. We love fresh cash. So a couple things. So she sent me an email because we had talked about her baby and we had asked what her baby's name was.
54:52 And so she says, Hi, Tina, it's Trinity again. Just listen to the episode. Okay, go ahead. Where you read my precious email and we're wondering about my baby's name. We are so happy to share our baby with you until your daughters get a move on. Thank you. Oh, we got a baby to share. I know. Oh, okay. Does she send a picture? Yes. She goes, his name is Finn. I think it's pronounced Finnan. F-I-N-N-A-N. Finn for short. Okay. Attach her some pictures for your pleasure. Lots of love, Jonas, Trinity, and Finn. Super, I mean, scrumptious. I just want to just like squeeze them. So adorable. I so appreciate her sending that. And it's just, I don't know, made my heart sing.
55:33 So then today, I checked the, yeah, exactly. You coming to Texas anytime soon? So I went to the P.O. box today. Oh, man. There was a lot of things in there. Oh, man. And she sent a card and it said, I want to read the card to Tina. How blessed these last years have been. The impact you are making in God's kingdom is profound. As a woman about to turn 30, just starting a family, I find myself looking up to you in adoration. Your story is so inspiring and your change in Christ is stunning. I pray that my future daughters will be as beautiful as you, both inside and out. Thank you for sacrificing your time to do the newsletter and podcast.
56:17 We have never met, but you are so dear to my heart, my sister in Christ. May God's hand be with you in all that you do. Hallelujah. Trinity. Isn't that so sweet? Yeah. This is why we have to do the show every week. You cannot go to a 14-day schedule. People like Trinity count on you. It's like this, I needed this message because we were in class today. I really felt like I was, I was not living up to God's expectation. Maybe that's the enemy coming in, but I really felt like, oh, I'm not doing everything he's asking me to do. And I'm faltering and I don't mean to do, that's not my intent.
56:57 But when you get something like this, because then it's outside of myself, it's out of my own logic, my brain. So this is just really, really sweet. Oh, thank you, Trinity. Yes, thank you, Trinity. Baby, you are, you really are doing what God wants you to do. That is the enemy. Yeah. The thief comes in to steal, kill and destroy. So be gone, be gone, flee. Baby, you are my example. Believe me, you're my example. Anyway, but thank you, Trinity. That's really, really sweet. That's beautiful. Rosalind and Trinity are like, oh my gosh. And I love that she's younger than us and that she has an example in you.
57:39 That's fantastic. And she's going to share her baby. Yes, that's the best part. Hand that kid over. Finn, come on, let me show you how to drink beer and drive a truck. Okay, well, I can wait. I have patience. Okay. Oh, that's beautiful. It's really, really sweet. And from that, we go straight to Sir Brian with an eye. 77, 77. And he says, shout out to the OG Sam and Yay. Thank you for coming up with the term Curry and the Keeper Separation Anxiety Disorder. I legit for real, and I mean it, seriously looked into getting it added to the DSM-5. That's the DSM-5. Yes, I do, yes. And even though your study is peer reviewed, I'm guessing the APA probably doesn't take kindly to jokes and I don't want to end up in jail.
58:23 So that's it. In the evening, brother. In the evening. So Brian, you know, he has a lot of talents and like- He sure does. He does. And so he did a- Which he squanders them. Well, he did a video for his church and I said, send it to the church and volunteer. I said, you have, they would love your talent. He loves this church. You haven't shown it to me. I'd love to see that video. Oh, I'll show it to you. And I keep asking him, did you send it to the church? Did you send it to the church? And I said, God is prompting you to do this and you better be obedient or else he's not going to, he's not going to bestow any blessings on you. You better be obedient. Now that's churchy. Yes. I could be like that with Brian. That's okay. I love how you are with Brian.
59:04 So I don't have to do it. It's perfect. Hey, coming in with 6463, it's Comics for Blogger. Howdy lovebirds, Tina and Adam. Howdy. Imagine if you were doing a podcast with your daughters, how grand would that be? Well, let's be real. It will never happen. Because your Christina, Adam and Tina's daughters are not interested. No. It would be too awkward for them. Yes. Hashtag truth. However, Layla and her dad, David, meet us, have a new podcast. It's their second one. Oh, yes. We met them in South Carolina. It's the ArgumentPod. ArgumentPod.com. Tell your audience to subscribe to it. They are an adorable father son.
59:46 Are they? Yeah, it's fantastic. They have a great relationship. So that's www.argumentpod.com. And yes, we're telling our audience to subscribe to it. Yo, CSB. And Short Rove Ducks, 2222 from David Larson. He says, welcome back. Thank you, David. Good to listen to the two of you again. We missed one show. People are freaking out. And there will be more shows missed in the next few weeks as we're traveling, sadly. Yes. Sadly. And then 1321 from Randy Black. Oh, Randy. And he says, CKSAD has been very hard. Separation Anxiety Disorder. CKSAD. CKSAD. CKSAD. So glad that my second favorite couple got back to recording this week.

That's from, it's noagendafudge.com. It's the. Zach. It's from, come on, man. It's the Minnesota fudge people. Yes, but that's not their name. No, the Michigan fudge people. Zach and Mac. Okay, so they sent us this beautiful box. Wait, do I have it here? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You have the note. But they're no agenda people, but because I partake.

And then a bar. Yes. I mean, huge. Yeah. So Adam's going to be eating all that. So they had noagendafudge.com. This was noagendachocolates.com. They're registering domain names now. That's fantastic. Yeah, that was great. Then we got several books. Pastor Jimmy, I've got, I saved some for you. Yeah, we have, yeah, we still have those caramel color. Those caramel cover marshmallows. Yes, those are Pastor Jimmy's.
1:01:53 And Donna sent us, Donna Crawford, who she caught up, she was behind on the shows and she caught up and she sent us the archaeology study Bible. And Donna, we got a second one today. Which is fine because we both can use one. Yes. I just wanted to make sure that that was. And then she sent a number of other books. Now, it wasn't this one though, right? No, this came from somebody else. I think that was, was that not in the package with hers? There was, no, there were several. So I can't remember. But she sent these two cool Bibles. The Bible knowledge commentary of the New Testament, which is cool. And the Bible knowledge commentary of the Old Testament.
1:02:35 Yeah. So she said, she has several notes here. I have read, I read this novel shortly after becoming a Christian. That is the novel. That is the book. Oh, this, this, oh, Randy Alcorn. Yes. Deadline. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I think I have another Randy Alcorn. She said, I read this novel shortly after becoming a Christian and loved it. I know you have tons of books to read. Hopefully you'll find it enjoyable and enlightening. Well, we have lots of travel coming up, which is good. I do. Because you can read stuff on the plane. And then she says, I have found this set. Oh, the set with the Bible knowledge commentary. I have found this set so helpful in Bible study. Prefer not to go online when I'm in the midst of study, so don't get distracted. I hope you find it useful.
1:03:16 So Donna, thank you. I really, really appreciate that. Those are really great. Yes. I love those. Is this no agenda? No. No, this is from, yeah, Brian Wetzel himself sent this to me. He wrote this. Brian Wetzel, A Path to Faith. I see he's actually inscribed it here. He wrote a whole, he's, I've written this book to share 57 years of experiences, observation, and insights learned from extensive study. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh, man, we have a lot to read. Thank you. I love that. There's nothing better than receiving books. It is a great gift. I know. Was there anything else?
1:03:56 Was that the only stuff? Well, no, there was no agenda stuff. A hot sauce and coffee. That's my no agenda people. Hot sauce and coffee. Yes, that chocolate. Please feel free to do that often. We love it. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. No agenda. I mean, Noah, you confused me now. curryinthekeeper.com. That's where you can find out our P .O. box and how to support the show. And also subscribe to the newsletter. It is well worth reading. It always includes crappy pictures of me. It's always funny. No, it doesn't. There's always some slight towards me. Is this not true? It keeps it entertaining. Let me go. Let me just read from the most recent one. Let me see. I don't think I don't think that I said anything.
1:04:37 Oh, no, you don't think so? No. You don't even know what you're writing about. Here it goes. Uh-huh. Let me see. Yeah, tell me, Adam. I knew there was something in. I know there was something in. I guess not. Oh, yeah, there it is. I have a lot on my list. Let's hope Adam has something to say. See, I knew it. There's always something in there. Always like a little like a little dig at Adam. Just dig at Adam. All right, everybody. It's time for the question of the week.
1:05:17 Who makes the question? Which means she already has her answer. And I am ready to go. Okay, you're going to have to think broad about this. You got to think over the span of your life. I can't even think past three days ago. All right, we got trouble then. All right. Tell me about one of your best work moments. One of my best work moments. Yes. One of my best work moments. I mean, best is such a hard. Oh, you always do this. What do you constitute as best? What is a work moment?
1:06:00 It's not that hard. You go first. Oh, okay. Probably the thing that I, oh, it was a lot. There was a lot. Okay. Okay. When I was working at Ronald McDonald House Charities, one thing that they, when I first joined them, they were very, very heavy in raising money from events. Which is dangerous. Because if you have a bad event, like we did at Bandana Ball, if it rains and you don't raise your $300,000, $400 ,000. Then you're screwed for the year. Yes, you're screwed for the year. And so we were trying to get rid of, we were planning to lose this one event called something lights.
1:06:48 Oh, I can't even remember. It was a holiday event. And it was just a lot of work. And we weren't really making that much money. And the board kind of fought us on it. Was that the thing in College Station? The sparkling lights? No, no, no, no. No, it was called Lights of Love. It was called Lights of Love. And it was just a lot of work. And so we, and we didn't make that much money. And it just kept dwindling. The event just kept dwindling. And so we had to convince the board, like, let's get rid of this. Let's get rid of this event. And we're going to turn around and we're going to raise the money that we would normally raise at this event in our end of year appeal.
1:07:28 And so I remember designing the whole end of the year appeal. And it had a lot of like naming rights. They bought, people bought holiday wreaths to put on the door and they would sponsor that. Or they would sponsor like decorating the outside of the house. And we ended up successfully exceeding the goal. So we raised enough money and didn't do the event. So we replaced that. I remember this. I remember this story. We replaced that event income with our end of the year appeal, where actual donors just supported the program. And I essentially designed the whole strategy on what to name the amounts and everything.
1:08:09 Of course, it was a team effort. The development team came in. I took great pride in that because the board pushed us on it and we exceeded it. And that was one of my best accomplishments that I had there. Well, thank you for giving me some time to think about it. It's kind of a long story. I would say my biggest work moment or accomplishment has been podcastindex.org. And the reason why is because when podcasting was invented, I now know... At the time, I didn't know where that came from.
1:08:49 Of course, God used me to do that. But podcastindex, I realized that this was something bigger. I wasn't even saved at the time. But Dave and I just said, this has to be done for podcasting. This is something that we need to do. We have no financial interest in this, but we know that if we build it, they will come. And they did. Yeah, big time. And of all the things I've done and all the interviews and all the shows I've done, that I think is the thing I'm most happy about, how it turned out, because it'll be around for a long, long time. And it will serve free speech, freedom of speech for many, many decades to come.
1:09:32 So that's why I'm most proud of that. And through that, I mean, you got bullied when you were... Oh, yeah. Oh, you got bullied through that and you had the full armor of God on to get through that. I still get bullied every single day. Yes, you do. But it doesn't matter. These are just people. I write down their screen names. Okay, you're on the list for prayer. You're on the list for prayer. You're on the list for prayer. God, please bless them. Please bless them. And then the one thing I'd like to say that we haven't discussed... Yes. Saturday day date. Day date. And who planned it? I know. Isn't it great I did that? Wait, no, you did not do it.
1:10:13 I look forward to wine and dining. You have fallen down on the job. And I made the reservation. I can't even believe you're playing the closing music. What do you mean? Because we should talk about that. Listen, listen, you've been falling down on the job with that. And you tried to... You just slipped it in there and tried to end the show. I see you. I see what you're doing here. You've been falling down on the job of dating your wife. Sorry, I've been working for Jesus.
1:10:53 I love you. I can't wait to date you on Saturday. Will you date me? Will you please go out with me, please? Because even though you arrange for everything, you're the best wife. Proverbs said to one wife, you're the best ever. You're the best ever. Okay, can I hit the tune now? I love you though, Adam. You back me up. Despite everything, you love me. You back me up. I love you. I love you too, baby. We'll see you next week, everybody. Not in 14 days as Tina would have it. Next week, we'll be here. Curry and the Keeper.
