Speaker 1: Standing up or sitting down during a concert. Now, we
Speaker 1: talked about this. It comes up once in a while
Speaker 1: if you go to a concert and you always stand
Speaker 1: up during the first opening song or two, and then
Speaker 1: you kind of sit down, you know me. Depending on
Speaker 1: the concert. I mean, if you're at the let's say,
Speaker 1: the Blink one eighty two concert or the Usher concert,
Speaker 1: you might stand up a little bit longer because then.
Speaker 2: You're going to sit down.
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit down. Yeah. And artists, you know, they
Speaker 1: One thing that I know about artists is they don't
Speaker 1: like to load the front two rows or the front
Speaker 1: section with rich people because rich people usually are older,
Speaker 1: they're tired, they've been jaded, they don't want to sit,
Speaker 1: they don't want to stand up because you know, Peter
Speaker 1: and Marge have bad knees. They so rich people. The
Speaker 1: artists don't like rich people.
Speaker 2: In the front in the front, yeah, because rich people.
Speaker 1: Are usually the ones who can get the tickets. So
Speaker 1: my favorite story is the Paul McCartney concert. Susan and
Speaker 1: I paid a lot of money to be in the
Speaker 1: front row, and we were not really in the We
Speaker 1: were technically in the front row, but way off to
Speaker 1: the side. We might as well been like forty rows backs, sure,
Speaker 1: because we had to crane our next to see Paul McCartney.
Speaker 1: But in the front of him, we're all empty seats.
Speaker 1: That his people went up into the cheap seats and
Speaker 1: got young, energetic, fun people to sit in the front
Speaker 1: even though they didn't pay for front row tickets. Tina
Speaker 1: was one of those people that we used to work
Speaker 1: on a show and Tina had like third level nosebleed seats,
Speaker 1: but Tina got to sit for her eighty seven dollars tickets,
Speaker 1: got to sit in like row number two.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good life lesson in general, Like
Speaker 2: if you're in public and Europe, maybe at a concert
Speaker 2: or any kind of public attraction, be excited to be
Speaker 2: there because you never know when you're going to get upgraded.
Speaker 3: Seriously, it's so true because I also when I worked
Speaker 3: at the Timberwolves, people would always be like, how can
Speaker 3: I get on the court to do a game? Blah
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, And you're always we were always looking
Speaker 3: for people who were energetic and enthusiastic. You know, if
Speaker 3: you come up to me and be like, hey, can
Speaker 3: I get on the court for something?
Speaker 2: I'm not having you on the court. We're now on
Speaker 2: someone who's super super jazz. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also Tina's the queen of getting upgrades, I think
Speaker 3: because I went with her to justin Timberlake and we
Speaker 3: already had floor seats, but then someone came up to
Speaker 3: us and literally brought us into the side section that
Speaker 3: had like a bar and was.
Speaker 2: Lit right next to the stage. Nice Like.
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, she's got that air about her ash. Yeah, guys,
Speaker 3: you gotta go to concerts with Tina.
Speaker 2: I mean, not as cool for me, but I have
Speaker 2: gone to Harry Potter World in Universal a handful of times,
Speaker 2: and the two times that I was in the wand Shop,
Speaker 2: I got picked both times to have the wand Choosing
Speaker 2: experience just from being an adult person that was excited
Speaker 2: to be there. That's the only reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my one experience I was all. I was at Universal,
Speaker 1: and this was many years ago. We were down there
Speaker 1: and about to go on the Alfred Hitchcock Psycho attraction,
Speaker 1: and they I was screwing around with Patty Eberts and
Speaker 1: we were making jokes and having a good time and laughing,
Speaker 1: and they must have thought that I was like wonderfully energetic.
Speaker 1: So they chose me as the volunteer that I would
Speaker 1: get into the shower with the killer and then I
Speaker 1: would disappear. It was a magic trick that I didn't
Speaker 1: have to do anything except follow their lead, and because
Speaker 1: I was energetic and happy. Well do you think about
Speaker 1: like on Prices right, Yeah, the ones who get called
Speaker 1: up to contestant row, they're always jumping and silly, and
Speaker 1: they have a crazy shirt on and they're happy and
Speaker 1: they're glad to be there. And a lot of the time,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, with radio stations, if you know,
Speaker 1: if we take cold her number ten, we take called
Speaker 1: her number ten, and a lot of the time it's
Speaker 1: Brad from Hopkins who's got no energy whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I win.
Speaker 1: But if we have a choice, we're gonna play like
Speaker 1: a game on the show, like the match game, or
Speaker 1: we're gonna play password or something. We'll go through the
Speaker 1: phone calls and we'll try to find somebody who's good
Speaker 1: on the radio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or who's excited to be here and who really
Speaker 2: wants technical right.
Speaker 1: Who really wants tickets. Because the best thing ever is
Speaker 1: like when they're like, oh my god, I won pink
Speaker 1: tickets or whatever, and the worst thing is like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want one thousand dollars. I remember years ago, when
Speaker 1: I was new in radio, we would go out randomly
Speaker 1: and it was like the ninety six Rock money Man
Speaker 1: or something like that, and you'd go with one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars bill and you would find somebody who is, you know,
Speaker 1: happy looking, and you would say Hi. It's something like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite radio station? And if you said ninety
Speaker 1: six rock or whatever, you would get one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: So I found this woman and her daughter walking around
Speaker 1: at the Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs, and they seemed
Speaker 1: happy and joyful. So I stopped and I said, Hi,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite radio station? Ninety six Rock? And I'm like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: you in one hundred dollars and I'm recording them to
Speaker 1: play on the radio. So I got the reporter out
Speaker 1: and I'm like, god, you got one hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: they're like thanks, and I'm like, my good.
Speaker 2: God, truly you just won money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and back back then, especially, one hundred dollars was
Speaker 1: like four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, iiez probably the worst winner when I won
Speaker 3: the grand prize of the big Halloween contest on our
Speaker 3: radio station, which was to Disney World. Because I was
Speaker 3: so nervous, like they called me, because you'd enter in
Speaker 3: you put like a slip in a bucket whenever, yeah,
Speaker 3: told you. And I was just so nervous the night
Speaker 3: even hung up accidentally because it was all it was
Speaker 3: on a landline phone, and I hung up and they
Speaker 3: luckily they had my number, so so they.
Speaker 2: Called me back, and I was like, I just lost
Speaker 2: my trip because I hung my house like an idiot.
Speaker 3: But I was probably the worst winner because I was
Speaker 3: just as shy. I was eight years old, so I
Speaker 3: was a shy young kid. And yeah, I remember being excited,
Speaker 3: but I also remember being like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And you had to talk on the phone to adults.
Speaker 1: Terrifying quick stories. Not really, it's a little bit about
Speaker 1: radio station contest. But so here's what happened. When I
Speaker 1: was a kid. My brother and I used to listen
Speaker 1: every morning to the radio while we got ready for school.
Speaker 1: And I was probably five and he was probably ten,
Speaker 1: and we used to listen to they called it the
Speaker 1: minute Mystery, where it'd be like, okay, mister Smith was
Speaker 1: murdered in his office and the suspects are blah blah
Speaker 1: and blah blah, and here's the evidence. And it was
Speaker 1: like a minute long. Yeah, and you would call in
Speaker 1: if you knew the answer. My brother would try. He
Speaker 1: was very smart. He would try every morning to call in.
Speaker 1: He never got through. He finally got through. They put
Speaker 1: him on the radio and they're like, Okay, who's solved them?
Speaker 1: What's the solution And he's like, mister Johnson did it
Speaker 1: with an X or whatever. And they go how old
Speaker 1: are you? And he's like ten and they said, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you got to be at least twelve to
Speaker 1: win this contest. And I remember him and it really
Speaker 1: it really upset my brother because he'd been playing this
Speaker 1: for so long. Nobody ever said you had to be
Speaker 1: at least twelve years old.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I remember as a family, we were pissed at
Speaker 1: that radio station because they put him on the air
Speaker 1: live only to tell a ten year old.
Speaker 2: Boy, yeah that you know can't win.
Speaker 1: But you can't win. I think if that happened today,
Speaker 1: we'd be like, oh, you know what, I'm sorry, you
Speaker 1: know what, Oh you're only ten. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: you can't really win this contest, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and give it to you anyway, or you know what,
Speaker 1: I get a T shirt and at like something else
Speaker 1: I'm going to send to you. But you know what, really,
Speaker 1: thanks for listening, Carl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But the guy was you know, I figured the guy
Speaker 1: was probably a twenty four year old DJ that didn't
Speaker 1: know how to treat a child.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, sucks to be you, buddy.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 2: Bye.
Speaker 1: So we're going back to the origin of this whole conversation.
Speaker 1: Danielle writes in and says, I won pink tickets from
Speaker 1: you guys. My friend, myself, and some random lady. We're
Speaker 1: standing during her songs and a lady near us tapped
Speaker 1: on my leg, saying sit down because the people behind
Speaker 1: us can't see. We ignored him. She tapped my leg again,
Speaker 1: telling us once again to sit down. I don't think
Speaker 1: we were in the wrong, but I'm curious of others' opinions.
Speaker 1: We had a great time. Nonetheless, I don't know. I say,
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want at a concert, but
Speaker 1: also you get to work in a little courtesy, you know,
Speaker 1: if you really want to stand up. Yes, you paid
Speaker 1: for the tickets. You can stand up, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, if you're the only ones in your sections
Speaker 1: that are standing up, use a little courtesy. You are
Speaker 1: there as a group and there are people behind you.
Speaker 3: It's your favorite song, well.
Speaker 1: Then stand up during your favorite song.
Speaker 2: Sure, sit during a ballot?
Speaker 3: Why do we need a stand during a I feel
Speaker 3: like a Pink concert's pretty energetic throughout most of it.
Speaker 3: I understand she does have some ballads, so there probably
Speaker 3: are a couple times you could sit, but the man
Speaker 3: would I'm standing during a concert type of person like
Speaker 3: Noah CON's not that energetic. We stood almost the entire concert,
Speaker 3: and so did like half our section.
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely different if you're on the floor
Speaker 2: versus if you're on something that's like slanted. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: if you're in slanted you can sit down and still
Speaker 2: see and there's really no reason to stand up, Versus
Speaker 2: if you're on the floor and people are standing around you,
Speaker 2: you have to stand up in order to see.
Speaker 1: Ask yourself and try to think, do you look at
Speaker 1: the artist during the show or do you look at
Speaker 1: the jumbo tron?
Speaker 2: I try see. I always this is like a thing
Speaker 2: I feel because I don't really like concerts in general,
Speaker 2: because I think, Okay, I just listen to this at home,
Speaker 2: especially if I am in nosebleeds, because if I'm just
Speaker 2: looking at a jumbo tron, then I could just be
Speaker 2: looking at footage of this concert versus the actual concert.
Speaker 2: So if I'm going to pay money to go and
Speaker 2: see a concert that like, oh I really love this artist,
Speaker 2: I need to see them in person, I would try
Speaker 2: my best to save up money so that I could
Speaker 2: buy a seat that's closer so I could see them
Speaker 2: in real life versus just look at the jumpo.
Speaker 1: Try I find myself looking at the jumbo tron. I'm
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't dislike concerts. I just don't go
Speaker 1: to that many. And my reason is a lot of
Speaker 1: the time they're on a weeknight. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go on a weeknight. I don't like driving all the
Speaker 1: way to Saint Paul, paying for parking, then parking, then
Speaker 1: walking in, waiting for a shitty opening act, and then
Speaker 1: the regular band comes on late, and then you got
Speaker 1: then you get stuck in traffic, and pretty soon it's
Speaker 1: eleven thirty and I'm just now leaving the venue. So
Speaker 1: I don't really go to a lot of concerts. There
Speaker 1: are some that I would still go to.
Speaker 2: I'm on Wednesday? Are you going to see Lawrence on Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Out last week?
Speaker 1: What are we do again?
Speaker 2: They're kind of like funky sound. They have like a
Speaker 2: new song on the radio.
Speaker 1: RSTI I had them at a band girls n Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's kind of yeah, funky soul but pop.
Speaker 1: I like that for you. Yeah, good to story.
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: H Okay, let us know what you think about standing
Speaker 1: up at concerts. Send an email to Ryan Show at
Speaker 1: KADWB dot com. Let's do this. One thought I would
Speaker 1: share a story about when Demi Lovado recorded part of
Speaker 1: her Cool for the Summer music video on Lake Minnetaka.
Speaker 1: I remember this so well. The event was held in
Speaker 1: the courtyard connected to Bayside Grill and Excelsior, which is
Speaker 1: still there, but it's not called Bayside Grill. It's an
Speaker 1: event center and it's right next to Maynards. I was
Speaker 1: a waitress there at the time, and my manager asked
Speaker 1: me in another server to go around and sell prime
Speaker 1: viewing passes for ten dollars cash. Myself and the other
Speaker 1: server quickly realized that the manager was planning to pocket
Speaker 1: the money, so we decided to sell them for twenty
Speaker 1: bucks and keep the additional ten dollars for ourselves. I mean,
Speaker 1: a girl got to pay for college any way she can.
Speaker 1: For context, this was fifty teen ish or more years ago,
Speaker 1: when she had cool for the summer. Fast forward a
Speaker 1: few hours later, very impatient crowd as Demi took forever
Speaker 1: to arrive via jet ski. It was the stupidest thing.
Speaker 2: Out for me, a jet ski.
Speaker 1: It was so stupid because they rode her out. First
Speaker 1: of all, she was not very comfortable on a jet ski.
Speaker 1: They had her try to ride one herself, if I
Speaker 1: remember right, She couldn't do it, so they put her
Speaker 1: on the back of like some person's jet ski. Then
Speaker 1: they rowed her out away from the boat the dock,
Speaker 1: and then they had her come back in several times
Speaker 1: so she would jauntily jump off the jet ski and
Speaker 1: run down the dock, run up on the stage and sing. Well,
Speaker 1: it took a few takes to do it, and it
Speaker 1: took for fucking ever. She quickly performed for about fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: then was whisked away for a private meet and greet
Speaker 1: hosted by Katie WB at the events center upstairs. Well,
Speaker 1: I suddenly have a swarm of angry mothers, crying, teeny
Speaker 1: boppers and sad, drunk college girls saying I was promised
Speaker 1: that I would get prime viewing because I paid twenty
Speaker 1: dollars for it. Can't blame them. Come to find out,
Speaker 1: the other waitress was claiming that they were not only
Speaker 1: great viewing spots, but you would also get to go
Speaker 1: to the meet and greet. I had no idea. She
Speaker 1: was saying that, I don't exactly remember what happened at
Speaker 1: the end is it truly was not my fault, but
Speaker 1: I ended up pocketing an additional two hundred bucks or
Speaker 1: so for selling fake prime viewing thep meet and greets. Anyway,
Speaker 1: just another fun memory, and I figured you might enjoy
Speaker 1: hearing another side of that stupid music video filming staff
Speaker 1: writer Nicole I didn't know about that at all.
Speaker 2: I've not yet. I've definitely never heard a story like that.
Speaker 1: But that was I mean, it was kind of a
Speaker 1: cool event. She was kind of like at the top
Speaker 1: of her game back then, and it was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: But she did keep everybody waiting while she wrote up
Speaker 1: on the jet skiing.
Speaker 2: Sure, is Nicole admitting to an ethical crime here? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Apparently so again out Yeah, but as fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: so the statute limitations fired. Yeah, she's just fine, all right?
Speaker 1: Continuing on with the Minnesota goodbye. Let me open up
Speaker 1: my tab again here. This is interesting and they talk
Speaker 1: about a couple of things. Fishing trips in elementary school.
Speaker 1: They went to Rice Lake in Maple Grove, and they
Speaker 1: said that they brought their own rod and gear with
Speaker 1: and on my very first cast, my entire line unraveled
Speaker 1: out of my reel went sailing into the lake, along
Speaker 1: with the lure that I had borrowed from my brother.
Speaker 1: So my fishing trip turned into a day at the lake. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's cute. Another random thing about school that popped into
Speaker 1: my mind. Who else remembers doing the Pledge of allegiance
Speaker 1: every single day at the start of the school day. Yes,
Speaker 1: did you, Bailey? Jenny? Did you? Yeah? We did too.
Speaker 1: Did they not do it anymore?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think because I have worked in
Speaker 2: schools in the last like ten years, and I feel
Speaker 2: like they would they do the pledge of allegiance maybe
Speaker 2: on Monday, like they do it one time on Monday
Speaker 2: and then not again. But we see it every single day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did too. Yeah, And it's interesting because if
Speaker 1: you ever sit down and we did this somewhere in school,
Speaker 1: to go line by line through the pledge of allegiance
Speaker 1: to realize what you're doing. I pledge allegiance to the flag.
Speaker 1: So you're pledging allegiance to the flag of the United
Speaker 1: States of America and to the Republic for which it
Speaker 1: stands semi colon, one nation under God, Comma indivisible. So
Speaker 1: in other words, you can't split up states with liberty
Speaker 1: and justice for all. So you say this out of
Speaker 1: wrote memory when you're in third grade, but you don't
Speaker 1: have any idea what you're saying. Really, it just like.
Speaker 2: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States
Speaker 2: of America.
Speaker 1: Like you not put any robotic because you don't understand
Speaker 1: what you're doing anyway, So they say why they always
Speaker 1: said it was felt very culty to have my children
Speaker 1: pledging their allegiance to the country and saying words they
Speaker 1: don't even understand. Okay, not a bad point, but I
Speaker 1: think that's maybe the responsibility of a teacher to, you know,
Speaker 1: to do a lesson like hey, here's what you guys
Speaker 1: are doing. You're not just reciting like the Lord's prayer,
Speaker 1: Our Father, who out and who are in heaven, how
Speaker 1: it would be thy name like Kingdom. Come, I will
Speaker 1: be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give
Speaker 1: us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
Speaker 1: as we forgive our debtors, or forgive us our trespasses,
Speaker 1: as we forgive those who trespass.
Speaker 2: Against us our sins, as and forgive those who against us.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, there's a several different versions. We came from
Speaker 1: an unusual church. Yeah, our church. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: our church was well. We believe that Jesus died in
Speaker 1: an ATV accident, at accident an ATV. Are you wearing
Speaker 1: a helmet? No, he was not wearing a helmet. Went
Speaker 1: over a sand.
Speaker 3: Dune, a sand dune. Did you find that out? Was
Speaker 3: it like petroglyphs or something like that.
Speaker 1: Pet petrock glyph three twenty Yeah. The problem is you
Speaker 1: believe you believe me for a minute, you did believe that.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're setting we're to play a game
Speaker 1: called the Books of the Bible game. Okay, first one
Speaker 1: to drop out loses go around clockwise Genesis, John, Matthew, Mark, Ruth,
Speaker 1: you're out, okay, Jenny is between you and me?
Speaker 3: Collations?
Speaker 1: No, No, that's a good one. That okay, I'll go Proverbs.
Speaker 2: I have Luke. Did you someone say.
Speaker 1: Where you said?
Speaker 2: Luke?
Speaker 1: You're out? Okay?
Speaker 3: I think I'm out.
Speaker 1: Well, you you're already out. I was going to cap
Speaker 1: it off with Ruth.
Speaker 2: I didn't realized we were going to be doing this game.
Speaker 1: Nobody.
Speaker 2: She already said get out of here.
Speaker 1: Okay. Well then I lose.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, no I lost first.
Speaker 1: Okay, you did win.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, you're the most Christian in the group.
Speaker 1: Now your heads, head about your heads. Heavenly Father, please
Speaker 1: forgive these two heathens for not knowing your Holy book,
Speaker 1: the Word of the Lord John three point sixteen. For
Speaker 1: God forgave his only son and send him to earth
Speaker 1: to bless all the people.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's okay?
Speaker 1: Can I get an amen?
Speaker 2: Amen?
Speaker 1: Now here's the funny thing. People will be like, you're
Speaker 1: mocking religion. Not at all. I really, you know, because
Speaker 1: I think if I'm going to fall into any division
Speaker 1: of religion, I'm a Christian, but not a practicing Christian.
Speaker 1: But definitely a respectful Christian. But I really believe God
Speaker 1: gifted us with a couple of wonderful things. Sex, horniness,
Speaker 1: and a sense of humor. Don't you think that those
Speaker 1: were gifts from gods? Because sex doesn't you know, in
Speaker 1: the terms of biological recreation, we don't have to have orgasms.
Speaker 1: But God gave us orgasms to make it a whole
Speaker 1: lot more fun. God's like, damn, these people need a
Speaker 1: good orgasm.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I also chicken nachos. I love chicken all.
Speaker 3: No, No, that's actually a sin that God made chicken nachos.
Speaker 1: It should only be pork beef.
Speaker 3: Or yes, porker beef.
Speaker 2: Okay, the devil made chicken nachos.
Speaker 1: The devil made That's the name of the episode, The
Speaker 1: Devil made chicken nachos.
Speaker 2: Petro.
Speaker 1: So, no, when when we make jokes about religion, like
Speaker 1: Jesus died in an ATV accident, some people get mad because,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're really hardcore, you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a little bit disrespectful. But I truly believe
Speaker 1: that God gave us a rich sense of humor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know that Jesus didn't die in
Speaker 2: an atv accident.
Speaker 1: He died and when he slipped in the tub.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, lifelink wasn't around back then.
Speaker 1: No, he didn't have one of those life at.
Speaker 2: Lifeinth something too.
Speaker 1: Do you know the baseball is mentioned in the Bible
Speaker 1: in the Book of Genesis really? Yeah, in the big inning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the big inning.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jenny. Don't you know the first of the Bible?
Speaker 1: Do you know the first line of the Bible? You
Speaker 1: fucking heathen? In the beginning, God created the heavens and
Speaker 1: the earth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like. So anyway, don't get mad at us for,
Speaker 1: you know, for jokes that are about religion, because I
Speaker 1: think that I've made my point.
Speaker 2: We all have our favorites, you know. Scripture what Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you have your favorite scripture? David?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the twenty third Psalm?
Speaker 2: What is that one?
Speaker 1: The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want And
Speaker 1: basically it's reassuring that you know, no matter what kind
Speaker 1: of awful things you're going through, you God has got you.
Speaker 1: He's right there. He's your shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd.
Speaker 1: The only thing is it's like, it's not true if
Speaker 1: I'm dying out of heat exhaustion in the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 1: The Lord is not there to bring me, you know,
Speaker 1: an aquafina. Okay, you know what I mean. So the
Speaker 1: Lord might be my shepherd, and it's very reassuring, but
Speaker 1: I think at the same time, the Lord's like, get
Speaker 1: off your ass. There's a parable. Do you want to
Speaker 1: hear a parable?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: So a guy is it's in a flood. He's in
Speaker 1: a flood. He's on the roof of his house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's floodwaters all around him. A guy comes up
Speaker 1: in canoe and he says, I want to save you.
Speaker 1: Get in the canoe and the guy's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: the Lord will save me. So the guy in the
Speaker 1: canoe paddles away. Guy still on the roof. Floodwaters are rising.
Speaker 1: A guy comes by in a rowboat. He's like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm here. I'm gonna save you. Get in
Speaker 1: the rowboat and the guy said, no, no, no, I'm going
Speaker 1: to wait for the Lord to save me. The guy's like, okay, fuck.
Speaker 1: He paddles off. Helicopter comes by, hovers by the roof,
Speaker 1: says hey, we want to save you. Climb up the ladder,
Speaker 1: get in the helicopter, and the guy said, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for the Lord to save me, and so the helicopter
Speaker 1: flies off. The guy waters rise, he drowns, he dies,
Speaker 1: He goes up to the pearly gates and he's like, God,
Speaker 1: I thought that you said that you would, you know,
Speaker 1: save me. You're always with me, And God's like, you're
Speaker 1: a dumb ass. I sent a canoe, I sent a
Speaker 1: row bo I send a helicopter, you stupid fuck WHOA.
Speaker 1: Now that's not a biblical quote because there's no paraphrasing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but my point is, you know, as I walk through
Speaker 1: this valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
