Curry and the keeper. And hello, my queen, with grace so keen, you light my world, my heart so serene. nice I'm out of words total AI chat GPT if you say that every single time I'm not going to do it anymore it's so hard to come up I'm going to do something I'm not doing it anymore I'm done I'm done I'm just done you can say hello my queen it is so hard to rhyme with queen after you've had all the words in the dictionary hello my queen you are so supreme Okay.

0:57 Hello, my queen. Cheers me. Hello, my love. Cheers me quick. Wow. Sounds almost like you're drinking. Yeah. Can we do one of these days? Can we do a show where you drink wine with me again? Yes. Next show, I will do it. Next show, okay. Next show, we'll drink a whole bottle of wine on the show. No, I don't want to do that at all. I want to drink one of Michael Anastasio's bottles. Oh, okay. He sends them to us. This is, I'm just drinking Drek, man. Drek? Vel Uveira. This is from, this comes from Vaudeville. Okay. It's been open for a week because I'm the only one that drinks it. It's vinegar. It's just vinegar now. I'm drinking vinegar, people. Maybe it'll help that steak we had tonight.

1:39 That was not a great steak. No, it was not a great cut. What was that cut called? I don't know. It was from KNC Cattle, which we typically like a lot. There was no fat in it at all, so it wasn't really juicy. It was very dense. It was kind of like a, it was a bit like a boot sole. i mean we ate it of course we ate it no of course you know we're such beef snobs now hey before we begin okay two things okay two happy birthdays yes first it's dame christina pearl's birthday happy birthday christina and then yesterday was my friend brandy's birthday so happy birthday brandy all right now they can now they can stop the podcast and do whatever they once. Yes, carry on. You should do that at the end during the donation segment.

2:25 That's when you do the birthdays. Listen, this isn't no agenda. We do it at the top of the show. And I can see from the donations this indeed is not no agenda. Because you're not making people wait for the birthdays until the donation segment. Oh, sorry. I'm just saying. That's alright. Wow, another whirlwind week. You know what, they've slowed down a bit. Really? I think the world, everything's accelerating for me, man. Yeah, for you, you're busy. You're always in the studio. You're working, working, working. Am I? Yes, you work a lot. You work a lot. I mean, thank goodness you took a day off on Monday to go with me to get a new phone. I took a day off for seven. I had to twist your arm behind your back.

3:06 Okay. Because I go, will you go with me? And you go, I'll give you the passwords. Okay. You're really mean. Borderline dishonest. No. We had this whole conversation. I saw you struggling and I said would you like me to go with you and you went oh yes please and then lady said I just want to set you straight and I said then I said man I'm really sorry if I didn't didn't pick up on that because you said I'll give you the passwords you could do it is that how I said it is that exactly how I'm sick and tired of you making me sound like a douche bag you were nice about it but you were like I'm a great husband And I was like, oh, do I have to go to San Antonio?

3:52 No. And then I said, oh, I could go to Kerrville. Yeah. We went to lunch. We had a nice lunch. You drove and my life flashed before my eyes. You know, I read your newsletter. That's right, buddy. We're putting it out here. I read your newsletter, your hyperbole, your... Let's talk about this, okay? Okay, let's talk about it. By the way, don't forget to mention the times you almost ran off the road three times on the way home oh that no no what are those wait so we're driving to Kerrville and Adam's driving my my car our car but really it's not our car don't even pretend it's our car it's your car I'm only driving because I don't even know why I was driving why was I driving because you wanted to and I wanted you to but the difference is your car tells you your car keeps you in the lane I don't have that on my car yes my car keeps me in the lane yes I don't have me very very safe yes And like paying half attention.

4:49 Yes. Continue. What's your point? This is, by the way, it's the last Curry in the Keeper episode ever, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. So. Wait a minute. So you're driving my car thinking you're in your car. And I'm looking down at my phone. All of a sudden you're over the center line. There was a car coming toward us. There was no car coming towards us. Stop. Swore there was. There was no car coming towards us. It was a double center line with double dots. I only hit the first line of dots and corrected. And what were you doing? What were you doing? Looking at whatever was on the screen. Exactly.

5:30 Very distracting. But that's what the dots are for. The dots are there. Okay. And I correct. You're like. There was no car coming from the opposite direction at all. It's a little different to do it on the passenger side versus crossing the line into the next lane. You were almost in the ditch. That's not true. Listen. That's not true. Anyway, my life just flashed before my eyes. I relived every moment from the time I was born. Oh, okay. Well, boo-hoo. From now on, drive yourself to the T-Mobile store and wait for two hours while they transfer your iPhone to iPhone.

6:13 and then have someone else set it up with your car play. I am the dude named Ben named Adam around here, and I'm taking care of you. What do I get? You must kill me. What happens? Just a small thing. What happens? Thank you, babe. Thank you so much. Thank you. What did I say to you? I said many times, thank you so much for coming with me. Thank you. No, you said, this is going in the newsletter. That's all I remember. I said, thank you so much for going with me, even though I had to beg you, but thank you. i mean you need to tell everybody that's not true no i'm of course it's hyperbole of course i'm embellishing this story a little bit but you did initially say i'll give you the password you could go and then i then i was like oh i'm like okay i could do this i'm like oh i don't really want to go by myself but i will and then you said do you really want me to go with you and i said yes i would love for you to go with me and i'm glad that you did so thank you you're welcome i'd love doing that for you that's the way you tell the story you don't you don't show business baby no no no You tell me that all the time.

7:13 Yeah, but you do this all the time with me. People, people, I literally, I walk on the street and go, that's that guy. That's that horrible man. I can't believe how he treats his wife. He's the worst ever. But anyway, yes, I got a new phone and that is akin to buying a new car. That's ridiculous how long it takes. It takes the same amount of time almost. It's ridiculous. But before that, we had a nice lunch. We went to Hitch and Post. Yeah, that was good to go there again. It was like we used to do that when we first moved here. We would go all the time. When's the last time we went to Hitch and Post? We used to recommend it to people. And I still would.

7:53 I had a wedge salad with some beef on the side. Probably two and a half years ago, I bet. And we still have loyalty points because I pay with my credit card. Yeah. Boom, I got a text message. Thanks. You got a free something or something or other. Yeah. So that was nice. We had a nice day on Monday. It was nice. It was nice. Yeah, it was. And then we, you know, while the phone was being transferred, which takes forever. It went to McDonald's. We went and got your chocolate shake. Got a chocolate shake and you got a decaf coffee. So that was nice. But before that, we had some new friends over for dinner on Friday night. Yes, we did. Brent and Mindy. Yes, we did. Yes. And we just, they go to our church. They do. And we met them. We initially met them at church and then we went and did, they went to the 80s thing.

8:34 Right, the 80s. They invited us to the 80s thing. And then we had dinner with them at Andrea and David's house. And then I had lunch with her and I'm like, I really want you guys. I had lunch with him. Yeah. Yeah. And so it was really, really nice. So he's, he sells, he's a sales guy, like a, like has a huge account for an AI data center or something. I know what it is, but I don't want to dox him. Yeah. Don't dox him. It's not like, he's not like a, he doesn't wear brown shoes. So he's executive sales guy. Okay. That's good. And they just moved here. They moved to election day. But he's also an outstanding musician. Yes. And he's been mixing at the church and he's been resetting everything.

9:15 And oh, man, he's got it down. He's really figuring it out. The worship team sounded like, what? Yeah. What? This is like Phil Spector's wall of sound. Oh, geez. Yeah. No, they're just delightful. And I really, really like Mindy a lot. And I find it very easy to talk to her. And what's really, she's a therapist. She's, yeah. Oh, yeah. She's a therapist. We were having dinner. I could see her switch into therapist mode and ask a question. And I'd be like, okay, I see what you're doing. I love that she asks questions because I rarely get that. I rarely get people asking me questions because I'm usually the one that's always doing all the talking.

9:57 So I love that. But what I loved is when they walked in the door, Brent had on a hoodie in solidarity with you. And I thought that was hilarious. And I had a nice shirt on. I know. I know. I'm not going to get away with that. And he said, I put a hoodie on because I thought Adam wears hoodies all the time. Like, bro, like, no, I'm not allowed to do that here. And by the way, did I tell you about how I almost killed my wife? No, that was Monday. That was Monday. That was Monday. I'm sure I did something else that I could have brought up. So the picture in the newsletter was the hostess gifts that they brought us. That was very funny. Which was corn dogs and white Zinfandel. And it goes back to a joke that he made at Andrea's house about how Mindy likes corn dogs and white Zinfandel.

10:43 And I said, great, that's what we'll serve. We'll serve corn dogs. And so she brought it in, and that was really funny. And we still have it in the box. I'm going to keep it. You know what? It's corn dogs. They last forever. Bug out food. Bug out food. when the chips are down we got a corn dog we got some kind of beef on a stick everybody is beautiful i bet you if elise comes into town she'll eat them she'll eat them for sure yeah if if elise ever comes to town yeah because she said you could throw it away you can i'm like no i'm not throwing this away i'm keeping it and i'm sure we can drink that zinfandel i'm sure that hooch will keep yeah yeah so it was really it was very nice it was a fun fun night and um yeah i just I got to tell some of my MTV stories to new people.

11:26 Yeah, and we heard about them building. She helped build their house. I mean, they learned how to build the house off of YouTube videos. Yes, yes. And it's a beautiful house. Yeah, we're going there next month. It's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. I really like their aesthetic, at least the outside of the house. But yeah, I mean, she showed pictures of her driving this big industrial piece of equipment. Like a rock grinder or something. Yeah, and then they put the roof on. She said there was just a couple things that they outsourced, but for the most part, they built that house by watching YouTube. It's pretty amazing. I got to say, I'm humbled. I'm going to have to take a closer look when we get there. Yeah, let's make sure there's no... Let me look at your baseboards.

12:07 Is this straight? Is this on right? Can I lean against your wall? That's pretty impressive because my sister's like that. I'm very impressed with that. Lisa's very much like that, too. She can handle a drill and a miter saw, and she can do lots of things. So anybody who does that, I'm wildly impressed. And it's nice that they're a little bit younger than we are. Everybody's younger than us. It's so nice to hear about their 20-year-old kids who are like, dude, it's just starting. It's never going to end. No, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Where? What tunnel? Yeah, I know. No, there's not really. I mean, it's still like a headlight of a train coming our way one direction that's going to head us.

12:49 They better remember us when we're old. They better make sure we have good broadband and snacks. Who are we talking about? Who was it that we were just talking about who was taking care of their elder parent? And I said, gee, I hope our kids do that for us. Who was that? I don't know. I have so many people who's taking care of their elderly parents now. I can't remember who it was. Anyway, I hope they do that. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, they're, they're, they're, uh, Mindy's son. Gosh, I want to say he's 19. I don't remember, but they're in school. I think they're in school. I can't remember, but they're young, like 1920.

13:32 They're young. Yeah. Yeah. So they got a little ways to go, but no, it was fun. I really, really, I really, really enjoyed it. Yeah. And then Saturday I went off to a repay, uh, Jill and Mike for, uh, all of, well, I mean, not really, it's not really repayment. It's just like they were having trouble with their Sonos. Yes. Just like we are now. I know. I fixed their Sonos, come back, and ours just says, sorry. Sorry. Come back later. I can't help you right now. I mean, that's the stupidest thing. And so, of course, I went over there with Phoebe. First, I got lost. It's unbelievable how I get lost. I am below 1,000 feet.

14:13 I am hopeless. I'm just hopeless. so it took it should take me like 18 minutes to get there and it took me 40 minutes i drove all the way around the back roads and it was just were you not following your gps i was following my gps steered you wrong oh hey look luther vandros it works now all of a sudden the sonos works it's probably satan it's like you want to put on sexy time music i don't think so i don't think so no luther vandros for you not for you not tonight you figure something else out you better put on that Hello Fred No it didn work either I tried Believe me Like can I do some Hello Fred some sexy time Hello Fred music No. No. Sexy time.

14:55 Yeah, so you went over to Jill's and you took the Fiebmeister. Fiebmeister. And she just bounded out of the car, said hi to Max and Bandit. Bandit. And just right away, hi, Mike, hi, Jill, running around. She loves Mike, too. The cat was there. She looks at the cat. The cat looks at her. Okay, how you doing? A cat. Yes, we're here when she sees it out the window at the back. She's going nuts. I have to say, though, she was really good with Brent and Mindy. Really, really good. Yeah, she's getting there, man. She's getting there. She's a good dog. She's a good dog. And, you know, they all come in, they lay down. It took me two hours, but I figured it out for them.

15:36 I got it to work. I got it to work. Yeah. Oh my goodness. And then Jill showed me all her guns. Yeah. Cause she was going on a trip. She's going with her. Was she taking all her guns with her? A couple of them. Yeah. Taking her, taking her trailer to see your mom in Colorado. She hooked that trailer up to her pickup and drove it to Colorado by herself. And she got some nice handguns. She got a cool revolver. I got to find me one of those. She got some good stuff. She's a Renaissance woman for sure. She is. And so we had initially, I think, already booked to go to dinner with them on Tuesday. Yes. And so Mike would be home alone. I'm like, Mike, we'll just take you. Yeah. You know? And I said, we'll be here at 520, so be ready by 515.

16:16 And then we couldn't reach him for two days. No. Mike, what's happening? Are you okay, Mike? I sent him a text and it didn't look like he read it. And I knew, I thought, he's not going to recognize my number. Well, he literally loses his phone all the time. Oh, does he? Oh, that's what Jill told us. Oh, okay. Like he drops it in the water when he's fishing. He drives over it with his truck. He's always breaking or losing his phone. But we picked him up last night. We finally got a hold of him. We picked him up last night and took him out to dinner. And it was really, really a delightful evening. It was wonderful because, you know, he's a little bit older than us. Yes. And he's from West Texas and had quite a career as an attorney. and even in San Francisco.

16:58 He worked with incredibly interesting people. He lived in San Francisco? He would go there every quarter because he was the real estate guy. I think it was like the Hearst Foundation or something. Oh, wow. He was talking with a whole store. I was sitting in the front. I was driving. Notice they didn't kill us on the way to the restaurant. I wasn't watching, so I wasn't watching. But he knows so much about the history of Texas, all the corruption, all the bag men who were just buying off politicians. I'm talking like 1960s, 1970s. It was fascinating. We were in Johnson City, so you had a lot to say about LBJ. I can listen to that for just days.

17:40 Keep telling me stories about that. And I'm like, do you think that corruption ended? Do you think that just ended all of a sudden? No, probably not. Probably not. Well, we missed Jill, so we'll have to do it again when she comes back. He had never been to Brian's on 290. That's the restaurant. It is. It is a gem of a restaurant. Yes. I mean, it is so not Johnson City, but it's always packed. I mean, especially on the weekends, it's completely packed. But if you're ever in Johnson City or in Austin, you want to drive out 45 minutes, man, it's well worth it. Yeah, it's definitely worth it. So that was a lovely evening. Yeah. And Phoebe loves Mike. Loves, loves him.

18:20 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean. And he nailed it. He said she's not an aggressive dog. He said she watches. What did he say? She's a watchdog. Watchdog, yeah. Guard dog. Guard dog, that's what he said. She's never sleeping. She always has one eye half open. Yes, always looking. Always, always. But the dog definitely is kind of a little wimpy. A little wimpy? With the storms. Yeah. Let's see. We had, when was the- We've had a couple big storms. When was the thunderstorm? We had a thunderstorm. It's been raining and a bit of thunder throughout the week. This morning, I don't know what happened.

19:02 I think you're right. I think I had like a sugar overload or something because I had a tiramisu. I had a coffee, which I don't really drink at night anymore. I had wine and we all had a cocktail before. And so at 1.30, boom, I'm awake. I'm like, what is going on? And I'm like, okay, Lord's Prayer. I didn't get to Daily Bread. Oh, good. And I was gone. Good. And then 4.30, I'm awake. Like, what is going on? And then I hear the rain, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to get up. And then Phoebe, she's always like, Daddy, I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. Can I sit by you? And she'd rub up, and she'd stand there.

19:44 She does not like the strong storms. She doesn't like gunshots and doesn't like thunder. Doesn't like even rolling thunder. She's like, oh, no. She goes right into the laundry room. The safest room in the house. Yes, she goes in the laundry room. Let me go in here. I'll sit in here. This is the best place, okay? There's no windows, okay? Nothing can happen to me. Right, right, right, right? Poor little thing. Well, the other night when it was really, really bad, the storms, you came in and she was almost hyperventilating, right? No, she was. No, she was. Okay, I think we got it. I'm pretty good impression. Okay, okay. Wait a minute. I'm lightheaded. Okay. Give me a second. take a drink yeah okay yeah so oh man and then what else has been going on yeah what have you been doing well uh godcaster stuff honestly no agenda and god i mean no agenda it's things are just crazy in the world you put more time into godcaster now than you do no agenda because you got no agenda down like you can you know well as long as i the most important thing is i get the boots on the ground as long as i can fish those out and then you know and i sometimes have to investigate i have asked people to send me more podcasts and they're doing that oh good with some time codes and that's where a lot of the better information is coming from yeah but yeah i mean um there's a lot of time goes into godcaster yeah yeah but it we're in beta i know the app is in I know.

21:14 I'm very excited about that. Yeah. Yeah. I'll have to look at it to go through it. Only a few select people have the app. I'm going to send it to Brent, though. I promise. Oh, you would? Okay, good. Pastor Jimmy has it. He's like, oh, it worked right away. Thank you, Lord. You know what I've been doing? I've been doing praise breaks. Have you? Yeah. Was it Pastor Jimmy who wrote that in a daily grind, I think, about a praise break? I don't remember. Probably. I think so. And so just whenever something really works or when I finish something like praise break and I just sit and I just reflect and say, praise God. Thank you so much. Oh, that's cool. I do it a lot these days. Yeah. That's good. That's a good show title, praise break.

21:54 It's just good to just stop and remember, I'm not doing any of this. I know where all this is coming from. Exactly. Exactly. And then I tell you, and then right away, things just keep going better. When you do a praise break, you think about it. Lord, thank you. Thank you so much. I know who's in charge of this. It's not me. And it works really well. It works really, really well for me. I'm very happy. I'm pretty sure it was a daily grind, the praise break. He needs to steal a lot of stuff from Pastor Jimmy. Steal? Yeah. Borrow. What do you mean? He's just pouring wisdom into you from God.

22:34 Yes. It's open source. Yeah. Open source. God is the OG open source. Oh, I've got to write that one. OG open source. He is. No doubt. Well, I've just been lunching a lot. You are a lady who lunches. I'm not kidding you. I know. And every afternoon, you're dressed cute as a button. Yes. And then by the time I'm done with work, you're in your jammies. I know. Where'd that girl go? As soon as I get home from lunch, all the clothes come off. Like my big baggy jeans and my big t-shirt goes on. But yeah, we went to the Albert Hotel today with about five other women. You should know better.

23:16 Well, we went there for dinner, but you know, they just started serving lunch. And the service, there was one guy in the whole restaurant. There were not that many people in the restaurant, but it was one guy. It was his third week. And he was, I mean, he was doing the best. Another new person? Yes. What was he, the maitre d' or the waiter? He was the server. He was a waiter and there was one bartender who wasn't helping with anything. He would just leave. So we placed our drink order and they did not, I mean, they could not find the bottle of wine that was ordered. So they went and so we're like, whoa, are we going to get the wine? We're down in the basement looking for the wine. We're like, what? That is a big tell right there. If your wine cellar is in such disarray that you, I can just hear OG Salmonier going, rolling his eyes like that can't be right.

24:04 If you can't put your hand, if you don't, of course the guy's not the sommelier, or as we say, salmon yay. But they should know. I have five bottles of this, I got a crate of that, whatever it is. They couldn't even find it. We had early reservations. We had an early lunch at 11. Was it busy with a lot of people there? No, by noon, we didn't even have our drinks yet. And so I said to the guy, I go, hey, can I get my club soda? He goes, yeah, I have to go find the bartender. I'm not sure where he went. I'm like, oh my gosh. That's a mess. Yes. That's a mess. So despite the horrible, horrible service, the food was actually pretty decent. So the food was good. That's a plus. What did you have?

24:45 Steak frites. Steak frites. How can you mess up a steak frites? I can do that with my eyes closed. Well, Annette and I went to, this was a couple months ago, we went to Cypress Grill and we got, I think we got the ribeye special. Oh yeah. I remember you said it was really disappointing. And it was horrible. So yeah, you can mess it up for sure. so but yes i've been yes i have lunch plans uh tomorrow and friday and next and monday yes wow i know and then saturday i don't even eat lunch anymore i know you don't i just barrel through it so uh on saturday one of my very first friends that i ever made in austin when i worked at ronald mcdonald house charities is coming over to spend the day with us i know her too yeah my friend What time is she coming?

25:26 I don't know. I got to confirm with her. So she's going to, I haven't seen her. Oh my gosh. At least three years. She was here in the first you were here, I think. Remember when Phoebe was just new and a little jumpy? Yeah. So it's probably been about three years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, which leads me back to my Ronald McDonald House charity story. Oh, okay. You have a story. So we, they're doing a capital campaign and we're supposed to- Explain that. Well, they're building onto their existing house in Austin. They have to because there's been so many specialty doctors that have come to Austin. And people need to know that you used to be the chief communications officer. You worked there for- I used to do all the marketing strategy.

26:07 How many years? Seven years you worked there? Yeah, five and a half. And I did all- You ran that place, girl. Well, hardly, but thank you, honey. All right. But I did all the marketing and communication strategies. So I was very much on point, kept things very consistent. So, of course, when we get stuff in the mail, I look at it with an eagle eye. You know, I do because they haven't changed their mission. And so we get an update on their capital campaign where they're trying to raise, I don't know how much money to add on to the house. And so they said that they haven't quite raised the money yet, but they're adding rooms to the hospital, inside the hospital. So they've branded the campaign house in the hospital.

26:51 Oh, no. Well, I was like, are you kidding me? So of course I, I emailed the development director and I asked her like, you know, what, what's up with the naming opportunities now that there's not going to be a building yet. And I said, and I have to tell you, by the way, as a marketing professional, I have to tell you that the branding house in the hospital is appalling. I said, nobody wants to be housed in a hospital. I said, home, the word home would have been much warmer. So, of course, she sent the obligatory. Thank you so much for your feedback. She's probably rolling her eyes at me.

27:31 Well, you tried. But I was just so invested in. I know you were. Yeah, so maybe I probably shouldn't have done that, but oh well. I did it anyway. Well, you have a big mouth. Can I say? It's what you do. It's what you do. It's the marketing professional in me. It comes out. So no sooner had we received travel tips from Donna. Yes. Did you get the email from Donna? Yes, I did. I have not responded to her. She sent us a beautiful email, I think from Donna and Kirk, really. She's like, my husband, who is Commodore Kirk of the South Bay, and I took a year off and backpacked around the world. Yeah, not going to happen. You need some context. I said last. Yes.

28:11 I said I wanted to go to Singapore on the last show. It was, I had to guess, and I guessed it, because I knew exactly where you wanted to go. He's like, well, we backpacked around the world. We went to South. We went to Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, and went back to Thailand. And she actually said, if you really want to have a great time, go to Thailand. I've been to Thailand, and it's been 35 years. I'm sure it's changed a little bit. But if you want beautiful beaches, Thailand is definitely the place to go. Phuket, et cetera. and she gave us some stuff about Vietnam. And then no sooner have I accepted my fate, then we're in the car and you're like, oh yeah, by the way, Singapore's off.

28:55 We're going to Israel. What? What? When was this executive decision made, marketing professional? That's not planned, but Annette and Pastor Coney. That's pretty much how it came across.

We've talked about this and you've always been like, how many years? About two years at least since I've been doing the podcast. They just did episode 100. I know. I'm very proud of them. It was a good show. Listen to it. It's a very good show. They talk about when life throws you a curveball. Yeah. No. What was the title of it? Hold on. It was a good title too. The title was- When Bad Things Happen to Good People.

33:08 When Bad News Knocks on Your Door. Yes. That's what it was. Yeah. It's a good show. And it's only, what, 37 minutes? It's not long. But it's just a good show in general. Yes, it's very good. And, yeah, I even sent them a text message about it because I liked it that much. Yes, I think we should do that. Plan it, Mr. Curry. Oh, okay. It's up to me now. Yep. Well, we're all screwed. Exactly. It's like, do I have to give you the password? So the blonde squad's getting back together. Woo-hoo! I heard that you're going to Michigan? We're going to Holland, Michigan. Wow. Yeah.

I think I'm going to fly into Chicago and drive. I think it's a two-hour drive from Chicago. So that way I can stop in Indiana on the way back and see my sisters. so yeah don't don't get a car from budget no i will not get that's what renee on the text thread said no budget rental car and i'm like you don't have to worry about that so yeah so we're planning that so um first weekend in october we're gonna do it yeah we we don't have a vacation plan this year no no beach for me yeah you're going to the bahamas oh that's right we do have a is that thanksgiving thanksgiving thanksgiving yeah you're going to the bahamas and you're going to florida at the end of July, but you're not going to the beach.

In fact, I think they're doing it, maybe they're doing it in his church. Oh, that's right, because Annette said it's at a church. Yeah, and he's also the mayor. Oh, yes, yes, I remember them saying that about him. And he's a nice guy. Yeah. Nice guy. I think it was his wife, Bonnie, and they're setting up a- Their church is a little bigger than Bridge. But they're in a similar 17,000 people in their town. Okay. And they're really. What's the town? Do you know? Yeah, I should know. That's okay. It's okay.

And I'm going to have to go to Indiana either August or early September to help move my mom. So, yeah, I'm fine. I did a lot of traveling the first part of this year. So I'm happy to just chill out. That was our couple's devotional today. That ties into my God Shot.

36:43 Let me hit it. It's time for Tina's God Shot. We like that song. What's that? We didn't even plan that. No, no. This is just how in tune we are, babe. This is why we have a great podcast. Awesome. Awesome together. Okay. Oh, shoot. Uh-oh. You lost your God shot. I didn't write down what verse it was. I have the verse, but I don't have the name of the book. Oh, I can find it for you. It's Honor Your Father and Mother, right? No, no, no, no. If you hold on a second, I'll go grab it. Okay. Hold on one second.

37:24 No one ever noticed it. That was you rushing out, coming back. It was like a flash. It was like a flash. It's amazing how that works. Okay. So my God shot today is Luke chapter 16, verse 13. Okay. You know this one. I sure do. No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. That's right. This spoke volumes to me. And you had something earlier in the week, I believe. Well, okay. So, oh gosh, how am I going to set this up? Okay. It spoke to me because in my Bible study, we are studying the seven mountains.

38:05 The mountain of economy. And we are on the mountain of economy. So when I read this, I was like, oh my goodness, this is so good. Because a little backstory, and Annette was the one that told me this, that I have a poverty mindset. And we talked about it in a different show. And it was, it's based on how I was raised because I was raised basically poor. We didn't have a lot. And so I, I'm always, it's not that I'm a hoarder. I just, I guess I worry, I worry about the future. And so when I read that and I started thinking about it in, in, in conjunction with the seven mountains, the mountain of the economy, I I'm learning, I'm not, not quite there yet. I'm learning that God will take care of me and that through him, there is no lack.

38:50 And it helps me to remember that material things are temporary and that I need to keep my eye on the eternal just because like you just can't take your earthly treasures to heaven, right? So I loved that verse because like I said, it tied into the Bible study because in the Bible study, it talks about how Satan wants to perpetuate the lie that it's pointless to trust God for our riches. He wants to keep us. He wants to be our source. Oh, yes. And he wants to enslave us to a fear of losing everything, provoking us to hoard in dread of a disaster. And that's kind of how I, that's resonated with me so much. Yes. In case of a disaster.

39:30 Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But the truth is that God cares about everything and he provides for everything. And that's the thing. I just have to keep my eyes on that. And so when they're talking about the mountain of economy, God's love is experienced as riches. And so when we keep our eyes on him and he does provide us, it comes to us as peace and trust. And I remember when Tommy Hayes was working with me and he was telling me that, that our joy comes from the Lord and that when you give without reluctance, it's joyful. It should be, yes. Which comes from the Lord. And I love this line also in the Rise Bible study that we're doing.

40:12 That's what it's called, Rise. It says, we cannot find security in our bank account because we're making our trust fund rather than making God the provider we trust. I love that. You have come such a long way, babe, though. I'll tell you. I did have the buyer's remorse about the car, remember? Like it creeped in. I mean, it's a lifetime of trauma with me with this poverty mindset. but I have come a long way. And it's not consistent because I will buy a really fancy pair of jeans, but yet I won't pull the trigger and buy a new kitchen faucet. It's kind of weird. That thing is janky, babe. We need a new faucet. And that knows it too. It's all crooked and it's like hanging off.

40:54 It's weird, isn't it? I just don't know. It's so weird. And that's always like, you just can't come at it. And it's true. I have with certain things. But anyway, it all ties back to that fear of losing everything. And I'm working on it diligently to know that trusting God, I mean, he will provide for everything. And it doesn't necessarily mean financial abundance. It means that peace and that trust in my heart. And you have a completely opposite different perspective about it. Yeah. Yeah. I remind myself every morning. I do the Lord's Prayer all the time, like several times a day. When I wake up, it's the first thing I do.

41:35 When we say goodnight and then you finally stop talking, it takes a little while. And I can put my mouth guard in. Wait a minute, you put your mouth guard in and then you say the Lord's Prayer? No, well, when I put my mouth guard in, 10 out of 15 times you say something. What? Take my mouth guard in. You can't talk with it in your mouth? It sounds like what? So then I go, Lord's Prayer. And then, I mean, sometimes I'm asleep before I finish it. But in the morning when I walk with Phoebe and I have, so this is what Jesus told everyone to pray when you pray, say. Right. So here's how I do it. I'll give you mine. Okay. So first I start with our Father who is in heaven.

42:17 I think this is heaven. It's all here. And the cloud of witnesses is all around us. It's right here. It's right next to us. There are people cheering us on all the time. You are holy, Lord. You are above all. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. And I know that because Jesus promised. This is how I'm literally doing the prayer. Your will be done right here, right now, through me, through us, on earth, as it is in heaven. Here's my favorite part. Give us this day our daily bread, provision and guidance. He gives us provision and guidance. The provision and the guide, you can't define it, but I know it's going to be there. Here's the hardest one.

42:58 Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lord, I work on it every day. I try to give up the right to be offended. I really try. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. And I go forever and ever and evermore. In Jesus' name, amen. I love you, God. Amen. Aw, that's lovely, Dave. I have to do my whole thing. That's lovely. And I do that with my eyes closed going down the driveway with Phoebe. What if you trip over a rock? This is the provision and guidance. I don't have to worry about it. I'm walking down the driveway and Phoebe always goes slow. She goes slow. Okay, we're good. And then she'll go. But that's, so that's how I remind myself.

43:39 Daily bread, provision and guidance. He will give us provision. He will guide us. And it just, I trust in that. That's how I start my day off every single day. And when you're working on Godcaster, you always say, I'm working, I'm working for the kingdom. Oh yeah. We say that all the time. I'm working for the kingdom. That's the whole point of it. Yes. That's the whole point of it. Yeah. Then that's, that's the way we all feel. We're all working on it. Absolutely. Yeah. We started off, I love when we do a Godcaster meeting and right off with with pastor Jack can we just pray pastor Jack and just pray And she like oh yeah And I mean what business meetings start with prayer This is the best ever I love it so much. I know. It's a whole different ballgame.

44:21 Well, the ladies who lunch, we always pray. Always. Well, of course you do. Yes, we always do. Before you start drinking the vino. Yeah, I didn't drink the vino today. No vino for me. No vino for you. Okay. Well, speaking of vino. Now it's time to hear from the coke suckers. We will let Vineyard Nation speak to us. We got to hear from those coke suckers now. What did you say?

Birds are pretty awesome. I love birds.

50:39 I only like the cardinals because they're far away and they remind me of God.

I say, Lord, please forgive Tina for hating on your beautiful song creatures. Forgive her, Lord, for she knows not what she does. Stop hating on that. So the birds are starting to perch underneath this hang, like this piece of wood, this vertical or horizontal piece of wood under our roof outside. And I'm like, oh, so I get up there. I gank out the ladder. You're putting up aluminum foil. And the birds are going. The birds are sitting right next to the aluminum foil.
