Topics covered

Segments

  • Pre-show audio snippet 5:07–5:28
    An unattributed spoken snippet, possibly a song or station voice, plays before the show begins: lyrics about something going on and a 3 AM phone call. It sits minutes before the actual show open.
  • Show open and first introductions 15:50–16:25
    Ben Foust, naming himself on air, opens the show live from the REMAX Studios in Downtown Des Moines at 6 AM on a Saturday. He introduces the crew by name: his brother Mike Foust, pastor Dan Hudson, and Zach Hao.
  • Hotel pool talk 16:26–18:00
    Arrival banter about sneaking through the Marriott and the skywalk at 6 AM. A host tells the story of offering eight hotels $10 to let him swim with his two-year-old daughter the previous spring and being rejected by every one.
  • Full host introductions and loose banter 18:02–23:46
    The four introduce themselves properly. Ben works downtown at an insurance company; Mike, his brother, is an electrician with a wife, a two-year-old daughter, and another baby due in about two weeks; Zach works at an insurance company, DJs weddings part-time, and has a two-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter; Dan is the pastor of Pathway Church in Johnston, married 25 years, with a 20-year-old daughter at Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky and a 13-year-old daughter. Loose banter follows about Wendy's and Subway breakfasts and the cost of eating out with a family.
  • Ben's Clint Howard comparison 23:48–28:25
    Ben recounts how, at the station training the night before, 'grandpa Doug' said he looks like actor Clint Howard. He pulls up side-by-side photos and the hosts roast the comparison, riffing on Howard's tooth gap as a career asset and the economics of being cast as 'underbelly society types.'
  • Swim trunks and mesh underwear 28:25–30:23
    A long comic debate about swim-trunk mesh linings: nobody understands their purpose, older board shorts had nothing in them, and teenagers are 'perverted by society' into needing the mesh. Includes a running gag about Dan in a Speedo and a joke about needing an FCC photo regulation.
  • Paper swimsuits 30:24–32:18
    Dan recalls that motels used to sell cheap paper swimsuits at the front desk for guests who forgot theirs, which the hosts greet with disbelief. The riff spins into origami-underwear manufacturing: a man named Steve whose whole resume is folding underwear without staples.
  • Kids' TV and the PCP tangent 32:18–34:21
    A host describes modern kids' shows like Yo Gabba Gabba on Nickelodeon as psychedelic cartoons you could watch instead of drugs. That sets off an extended comic tangent in which none of the hosts can figure out how PCP is actually ingested.
  • Paper swimsuits for the baptistry 34:21–35:23
    Dan jokes that the church should stock paper swimsuits for the baptistry. The hosts discuss how the church keeps a closet of spare shorts and shirts for unprepared baptism candidates, then riff on hiding condemned clothing from their wives (the car trunk, the oven).
  • Lucky poker boxers 35:25–37:42
    Zach describes his favorite pair of poker-themed boxers, calling them his literal 'lucky boxers,' and admits his wife wants them gone. The hosts riff on the idea of putting one's favorite things on underwear and the multi-level meaning of poker-chip boxers.
  • The gambling question 37:44–43:52
    A host asks whether gambling is okay in moderation or entirely frowned upon, and Dan, addressed as Daniel, answers: it is fine as an entertainment-budget expense once the tithe is out, bills are paid, and the family is not hindered — like buying a movie ticket or a vacation. The hosts trade gambling stories: cheap Vegas nickel poker, getting no free soda, and a grandma's trip where her friend Aunt Verline hit a ~$100 jackpot off a dollar.
  • Ad break and network promos 44:08–47:55
    The show takes a break for station IDs (desmoineslocallive.com, Hub Tower) and network spots: a FAST SIGNS ad naming Steve Smith in Clive, plus promos for fellow shows — Sean McClanahan's 'Firearms Weekly' (Mondays 9-10 PM, Second Amendment), Mike Sanzoni's 'I don't know. Let's find out' (weekdays 6-7 AM), Jeff Brotzen's 'Your Money, Your Future' (Tuesdays 5-6 PM) — and a J. Michael McCoy real-estate ad for Coldwell Banker Mid America Group.
  • Recap and the Ben Vereen joke 48:41–49:48
    Back from break, the hosts recap the first twenty minutes (underwear, paper undies, gambling with old people) and argue over the grandma's friend's name — Anne Verline, 'Aunt Verline' — before joking that she is really Ben Vereen from the TV show Benson.
  • Celebrity comparisons, part 1 49:48–52:56
    The hosts trade celebrity-lookalike stories. Ben says a gas-station customer once told him he looked like Matthew Broderick at 18. Dan recalls being told in college that he looked like Rambo while watching Rambo. The hosts also mix up the bands Slipknot and Striper and wonder who auditions to be an ugly extra in a music video.
  • Celebrity comparisons, part 2 52:56–57:51
    The lookalike game continues with a live side-by-side of Dan and NSYNC's Joey Fatone ('better from far away'). Zach says multiple people have compared him to Ryan Reynolds from his spiky-haired, dyed-tips days, and adds that his wife has been compared to Scarlett Johansson — the celebrity who married Ryan Reynolds.
  • Mike's missing lookalike and the saint head-tilt 57:51–1:01:04
    Mike says no one has ever told him he resembles a celebrity, so the hosts audition comparisons for him: Scott Hamilton, Florence Nightingale, and Mother Teresa, complete with a too-small side-by-side photo. A riff follows on the tilted-head pose in Catholic saint portraits, and Dan rules that Mike would make a terrible church greeter.
  • The daylight-savings church mishap 1:01:05–1:03:02
    Zach tells how the spring-forward time change wrecked his family's Sunday: his phone auto-adjusted, he misread 9:30 as 8:30, and they walked into church just in time to hear 'let's close in prayer,' with the whole congregation smiling at them.
  • Megachurches and hologram pastors 1:03:03–1:06:14
    Dan describes visiting Southeast Christian Church in Louisville: roughly 30,000 attendees, an $800,000 weekly offering, a 9,000-seat auditorium, and six Easter services. The hosts riff on the logistics of communion for 30,000, then debate multi-campus video and hologram pastors — with a host pushing back that video and holograms lose the person-to-person fellowship of church.
  • Sign-off 1:06:14–1:07:28
    The hosts close the first show: pastor Dan Hudson of Pathway Church in Johnston, services Sundays at 10:00, back next Saturday with the livestream chat. A station promo from 'Mac' at desmoineslocallive.com follows.

Something's going on. Someone's on the phone. It's 03:00

in the morning talking about how she can make it right. Well,

happiness Live from the REMAX Studios in Downtown Des Moines. It's 6AM, and you are live from the path. Good morning, everybody. Welcome. Like I said, Saturday, 6AM. You are live from the path. My name is Ben Foust.

We are in studio with Mike Foust, pastor Dan Hudson, and Zach Hao. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Good morning. Made it in. Dan, who kinda lumbered in about, two minutes past time. Welcome. That's a lot of pressure. It's, it's kind of a tough thing getting in here at, at six in the morning. Traffic. Horrible. Yeah. We had to high step it through the Marriott.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Three or four blocks away. Is that the only entrance in here? I mean, is that it? You just have to pretend to be a guest of the Marriott at 6AM and then just you can you can homeless yourself around the skywalk? Yeah. Just just don't make contact with the the desk person. Act like you definitely got some business I stay here. Me and you, we have nothing to talk about desk man. We're on the way. I think you have that, that with hotels though to the extent that, what do they know? I mean, there's there's how many rooms in a hotel you could that's why you get to you know, you can swim for free and now that's definitely not true. I did bring my trunks. I will certainly tell you why that's not true. So I go I go rooting about, spring

last year, and and I got a two year old daughter, and, and we we were looking to go swimming, you know? And I'm like, well, I didn't stay at these hotels and all the pools are closed. So I'm like, well, I'll just go in there. I'll say, look, I got a two year old daughter. You know, we just wanna swim. Can give you $10? I got shot down at at, like, eight hotels. Oh. Like, they were disgusted that I was even considering taking my my fun loving two year old daughter in their pool. I I I I don't know where you can go. Just because you offered them money. Well, I did do it in in a seedy type fashion like saying. Well, right. But you're obviously twisting my beard. You're obviously not from there. You're obviously not in the hotel. You don't stay there if you come up and offer money to use the pool. Well, I wasn't trying to be sneaky about it. You know what I mean? You're hiding a can of, spray paint under Under my trunks. Is that most obvious outline of a spray can in your shorts, sir? I don't know. Or alright.

Well That was topic number one, actually. We wrote that down. Yeah. Spray can in shorts. Check off the list. Well, so we we thought, we kinda kick off today and just give you a a quick introduction to, to everybody in the room here, and then, then we won't bore you with that anymore. My name is Ben Foust. I, I don't do anything special. I

I work downtown at an insurance company. We think that's special. Oh, thanks, Dan. I I appreciate that. I'm I'm obviously devilishly handsome. We will speak of that in a minute. This classic. It's gonna be classic. Ben's made Ben someone's made comparisons of Biz look to a famous movie star, and you will be shocked and amazed on who it is. It's it's not good. Like, it's it doesn't bode well for me, and, frankly, doesn't bode well for my wife either. Or the movie star, frankly. For I've chosen It's not going well.

So, so anyway and then, just to my immediate, right here is, Mike Foost. He is a brother of mine, and, let's go ahead and give us give us a skinny Mike. I I normally work as an electrician. Construction season is a hair slow, so I have available time to be on random radio shows.

I just have I I have a wife and a two year old daughter and another baby coming within the next two weeks or so, and so that ought to be something. And yeah, I I don't really have do anything much of note, either, so, that's what ends me up at this table. I've okay. So so here's what you've done. I've given my basic introduction, and then you've introduced, your wife and children, which makes me look like a total skee. True. Like like, I only talked about myself and the things that are important to me, my my status as an insurance man. Now to be now to be fair, I did the same. I spoke of the things that were important to me and left out the ego maniacal

type information that you included. Humberton. And you look like a really bad movie star. That's yeah. You haven't seen the pic. It's looking worse for your wife every minute. I know it. I'll I'll we'll we'll we'll cut. As soon as you guys are done, I'll I'll give you a hit on on what this is I've been accused of. It's it's not good. It's bad. Directly across from Mike, is Zach Hauk. Welcome, Zach. How's it going, guys? So I also work at insurance company, downtown here. So that's Do you know really exciting. A wife or children that are important to you? I yeah. Absolutely.

That's about all I Dan gotta Dan is the pastor of of Pathway Church in Johnston, of which Kind of a quiet man. Yeah. Which we all attend. I don't think, he's ever been accused of being a quiet man. So is there any anything you'd like to like to share? I have an adoring wife who loves me a lot. Yeah. Let's see. We'll be married twenty five years this August, which makes me probably the old guy in the room. I have a daughter. Just just slightly. I mean Just over. Just over.

We have a 20 year old daughter verifying the fact that we did not have to get married. That we just went and visited in Kentucky this past week. She's going to college, Kentucky Christian University, and we have a 13 year old daughter as well. Now is that her spring break too then this week? Her spring break began yesterday.

Ours ended yesterday. So she's going off on her own little party trip. It's not really a party trip. I guess spring break could give you a lot of images. She doesn't do those. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. But, she's gonna do her own thing, has some friends she's hanging out with. And where where does she go to school at? Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Kentucky. It's about as far east as you can go in Kentucky. It's about a twelve hour drive from here. Are there, major tourist attractions down there that you hit? None. Zero. Zero. Nothing is

kind of a hole in the wall place that sells pizza. I think there's a a Wendy's probably. What's that? Denny's probably. Hey. Does that Wendy's Not a Denny's. I mean, it's like a I don't even know Denny's. Does that Wendy's serve breakfast? I have no clue. I've yet to see I've seen one Wendy's that serves breakfast, and I I don't know what's they're struggling with the foray into it. You know, it's that that one down this on the way down to Saint Joe, Missouri sells the breakfast.

Yeah. Have you been, has anybody had the Subway breakfast? I saw Subway Subway breakfast. I haven't had it, but it's reasonably priced. It was, like, $2.50, and, you know, you get, like Is it on the same bun? Like, it's on the big Well, you can either get, like, a flatbread or, like, this the the six inch

deal. What what what makes it breakfast just because ham and cheese or something like that or Now There's few different things You say reasonably priced, and I say they just cut down on the ingredients. Instead of making an array of things for you to do, they're like if you go anywhere for breakfast,

like, we we run up $10 for breakfast at McDonald's because, like, it I don't know. It just gets out of hand. If want orange juice, like three almost out of hand to take your family out to eat anyway, you know, in general. It's the soda. Ben, for for as much as I love myself, you got me on there twice on the screen. Yeah. No doubt. You mean No doubt. You're looking. I mean, that's good stuff. Who have I who have I omitted? It's me. Oh, brother Mike. Okay. Yeah. This is very very a a disturbing celebrity. I don't know. I don't know that deserves me to be cashed out. Unbelievable. I see how this is gonna go. Well, since you get you guys are twins, so, you know, he has himself on there. So, like, that's that's you too then. You know, I got no reference to looking like this fella. True. That's coming up. And I'm I'm fairly happy of it. Not hey. We're gonna well, I should Yeah. Alright. So so here's what happened. So we're in here last night, Mike and I, and we're doing the, the training to to to learn how to run the show here. And

so I'm standing I'm standing in the back behind the the guy who's doing the training, who's really cool, by the way. And we You're listening? You're that's what I'm pulling for. So so anyway and then so, grandpa Doug, who's who's Chad is still out here,

says that the guy behind the guy that's running the thing looks like Clint Howard, and that's me. And I think, well, Clint Howard and so here, hold on. I'm I'm a throw him up here. So this is, this is a look of of Clint Howard, and and and it'll there so this is not good for me. This is not this is not an a good comparison. And I I I really looked. I tried to find some unflattering photos of myself. Now could you could've tried to find a more flattering photo of him. I don't know that it exists. Yeah. Probably There isn't one. And and that's why I think I suffer from the comparison. Isn't he, like, a lot of horror movies and stuff? Or Yeah. He was in, like, Apollo 13, wasn't he? It's kinda one of the wayward was, like, the freaky guy. I mean, he's he's never, the the the normal intelligent

Yeah. He's kinda like he's kinda the weird, you know, guy. Like, that that's also not good. Wasn't he on, like, a a water boy too? Yeah. Yeah. He was hanging out with the with the you can do it guy. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. You can do it. Yeah. Who's gonna do that? Definitely not you. That's for certain. Yeah. That's I'm the old guy. I don't have the energy. I've only recently watched the movie when the grandkids came over.

It was a little foul mouth for me. You didn't even attempt like a like an accent like the guy uses. Like, you you did. Like, the guy and I don't do it well either, but, like so you can do it. Like, if there's at least some sort of, like, a Spanish or Mexican accent, Dan does it in the most pan American accent he has available. Can can you This can be done. A little bit. I'm I'm fairly Caucasian. I'm just saying, like, if you're trying to pull it off, there's some things where you have to do it. Like, what's what's another phrase, like, a popular phrase that has a little bit of a like, an inflection to that if you don't do it, it doesn't it doesn't satisfy back? Yeah. That I'll be back. Yeah. Okay. What time? Friend? What's

the what's the the one from Scarface? Oh. Yeah. Yeah. What what are you You cockroach. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. But say it say it like don't put any effort to it like, you cockroach. Like, everybody does. It's not it's not here to say, say hello to my stinky otherwise foul friend. Like, there's just anything to it. Duly noted.

Well, so so anyway, so I'm looking online because I after I got that Clint Howard reference, I thought I'd go home and and see if I could, you know, find some virtue in it. And so I was looking on, to to check out, other pictures of him that I thought could be flattering for myself. And I come across, this little item right here, which which further sullied, my my particular I see it now. I see it. So That's a dead ringer. The first one, wasn't sure. I was certain it was Clint Howard and a picture of you that I've seen taken recently. Right.

Mother's Day last That's year another that's another phrase. Hey, you guys. Yeah. Hey, you guys. Hey. It it works, but it's it's not it's not the same. It's not the same phrase. Solid. Alright. Well

That's terrible. Yeah. That's good. I really did I I really thought I was gonna find a flattering picture. I thought I'll put I'll put oh, wait here. Wait. I didn't let me let me do this. Here's the here's the side by side of, of Clint Howard and I, and we'll see if, see if you get anything out. Now I tried to find a hat to make this a closer comparison. Now hold on. Let me let me get a I'll do, a face. So I kinda look like him. See what you guys know. See if that looks anything better for you. Alright. Yeah.

Yeah. You you need the hat. That would help. It's there. It's You seem to both have possum type characteristics that I can't explain. That's the kind of guy you would not let in the motel swimming pool. Right. So that that's why they're looking at you. They look you you come in with a kid, they're like, that guy that's not even his kid. He's coming in here. He stole a kid. All he's gonna do is burrow in the corner and live there. I know what he's up to. He's got candy in his pockets. It's a spray can.

I don't think those are swimming Rachel, no. Wait. No. So I I is this a is is that a good, indicator of your, of your wealth as a as a as a person growing up? Because I remember, like, we didn't have we never had swimming trucks. Like, we had, like, either something that you cut off or, like, just shorts.

And and you wore the shorts undies combination. You didn't do you didn't have the built in mesh undies that came with the dude swimming trucks. You had to wear the shorts undies. I'm not sure what those mesh unders are about. I'll be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. It's awkward. I mean, I don't know whose ideal that was. That's why I go speedo. Yeah. Yeah. That's I'm work. I'm gonna need to get some sort of sound effect to indicate when Daniel's really put a stop on the conversation. I brought a photo. Would you like to see it? You're two for two on cutting us down. I most certainly I hope the FCC is regulating what type of photos we can put up here of Dan in a Speedo. I'll tell you this. If there's a if there's a photo of Daniel Hudson running around with Speedo in it, certainly don't wanna have anything to do with like Borat. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Nice.

That's terrible. Wait a minute. So so so Zach, when when you were growing up, did you have the did you have the the trunks with the with the mesh undies in Yeah. Yeah. And I just always thought it was just awkward. It did the the mesh looking for underwater? You know what I'm saying? What type of activities are you are you, you know, propagating in underneath the the where you're like, I just don't feel like I'm supported. I know. I think it's the cannonball. Suppose it's true. Yeah. But but now but now once you're like, when you're older, then you just wear, like, the board shorts type of swimming, you know, like Yeah. Like, which has nothing in it. So you're basically wearing shorts that can go in water Yeah. You just no underwear, you know, so like this even revert back to what you started with. So the middle man is is your your teenage years where you've been you've been perverted by society to have to buy these mesh shorts, which for no reason you switch right back as soon as you got the ability to buy your own. So it's it's But I don't what what are they supposed to do for you? Like, they they they I don't know I I don't know if we need a visual. Yeah. It seems to be it's it's kinda Is there a diagram? Yeah. On on how we go about showing exactly what these mesh supports are doing. Maybe some people need more support than others. That's all I really have to say. Oh, man. Like a group session. Yeah. But maybe that's really maybe that's really frowned upon me. I don't require the mesh support. Yeah. Right.

I well, I think we're about done anyway. We used to get paper ones. Did you ever do that? We we go to a motel, and they'd sell paper swimsuits. Oh, no. If you forgot your swimsuit, it's like real cheap. Wait. Hold on a minute. Doctor's office guy. I'm gonna need some more description because I mean, think of it you take you take a wad of paper, you toss it in the water, there's an ill effect. That's what I told my mom. She's like, now, honey. She didn't talk that way, but yeah. Did they come out of vending machine or did they give them to you for free? No. You'd get to buy them from the counter for, I don't know, like $5 or something. Was pretty cheap. $5? I don't know what it was. Mean Was it like was it like stapled together? Like, would think of making a paper hat? They they they it was almost like

I don't think that was outrageous. Chef hats, paper hat things, like, I don't know. Like the bouffant ones with the Yeah. Guess, so that kind of material you need to slide you wouldn't know it as a kid. Was like, oh, whatever. Oh, so it's like it's not like really stiff paper that I'm thinking of that that like comes to a comes to a meeting point, gets stapled together and then there's like five pieces around your Or or the opposite like a doctor's office gown with Yeah. Just like not even there. Well, I I was I was laughing at the thought when you when you asked about the, about the the paper hat. Because I was thinking, like, the origami undies. Like, a guy whose job is to, like, fold underwear

without a staple so that you could sell it to hotels and have people wear Like, that sounds like a what a terrible like a man that can only get one job. Yeah. I'm sure we import it. Of this job. He writes it on his resume everywhere, and they say, I just don't know that we could use your skills here, Steve. How do you how do you get into that line of work? Like, I mean, is it is it a family business? It's like like, you know, Steve and Son and he just passes down the stuff.

I mean, is it like a paper sack place that just alters a few things or I mean, I don't know. Yeah. Who's the guy that sits in the in the boardroom is like, you know what we're gonna do? We're out of the paper sack business. We're going into the underwear business with our current, our current manufacturing equipment. Yeah. I don't I I you know what? I I was just thinking about, like, like, is this what kids did back in the day? Like, when you had a parents that didn't pay a whole lot of attention to, you know, like, nowadays, you just, you know, you sit in front of a TV, their best friend is the is the the Oogie Oogies or whoever that giant rubber dancing cactus is on the on Nickelodeon. What is it called? I don't I don't get that cactus on my on my TV. Wow. Oh. I'm sorry. Oh, Daniel, do do you have a a giant rubber cactus on your television? He's not a cactus. He's not a cactus. What who am thinking of, Zach? I watched this Nickelodeon.

Do I? We've been watching some of that stuff. It's after the it's after the Dora. Balls. Yeah. We do the old We got bean on the chat says it's Yo Gabba Gabba. Yeah. Yo Gabba Gabba. That's solid. Okay. So so anyway Never heard of it. They sit him down. They watch it's What is it? It's a psychedelic cartoon. I don't know if you watch these kids shows lately, but, I mean, if if you've never done, PCP

or, any type of lucidity drug, you might as well just skip it and and watch some of these shows on the kids TV. But anyway, the Which is better? What are you, eight? A PCP? Well, I now listen, I I I reference PCP

just as much now as I did when I was eight years old. It comes very rarely in the conversation. I like You're talking about pipe. That's p v c p v p what's that? It's p v c. Oh, yeah. Same thing. I don't like It actually could be. I don't know how p c p is ingested. How do you take p c p? I have no idea. That you're very close to three three on conversation stuff when we say p p Go to the go to the chat for that answer. Is anybody sure on how you ingest PCP? No. Is it a is it a pill? I don't know.

Isn't it I don't know. It's terrible. Yeah. It's good that we do should we know the M. O? Well, I mean, how can we be asked to verify world experience with others who have been in the drags if we don't know how to how to how to do anything for I haven't done it. Sorry, Aaron. Yeah. That you're right. So like someone says, you know, I'm I'm I'm looking for I'm looking out for relationship with Jesus, and I'm just coming off a PCP habit, and you go, yeah, that's a stiff drink. Yeah. I mean What you need is Wait. How do you how do you adjust that? Because it it depends on which which chapter I reference. We're gonna have paper swimsuits for the baptistry. Oh, man. Old conversation. Sorry. Oh. I'm catching up.

Bringing it back. You grind it up. Is that wait. So there's a, well, that's awkward. That's awkward to someone. Dan, you ever had that someone come to get, baptized and was not, not that you have to be like there's no adequate dress to it, but, like, someone who didn't wanna get dunked in the clothes they had on, but, Yeah. Like was expecting you to provide extras and you didn't have have anything around? That's why I have extras laying around. Yeah. Two weeks ago, I had you know, we went to the closet. In the music room, there's a whole bunch of shorts and shirts and and

yeah. For that very reason. I thought you were just keeping a closet full of stuff that your wife didn't like you to wear, and you told her you threw out, but instead put in the closet at the church set. This is my favorite paper swimsuit. Because I've done that. You guys ever done that where your wife says, you gotta throw this out? And I act like I threw it out, but, anyway, I hide it in my trunk of my car, and, like, I get it out every couple weeks and I wear it. No. We're we're, we tell the truth to our wives. I'm I'm also too on on wife relation. My wife is wonderful. I'm working out. Amen. Thank you. You did actually throw it out of the house. It depends on how descriptive it See,

always try to hide it in somewhere I like I think I'm very, very suave, you know. But, the wife stays at home, you know, so she knows she knows the house way better than I know the house, so I think I've come up with the best hiding place ever. And then I'll show up the next day, and she'll like, I thought I threw this shirt away. And I said, you should bleach it. I thought that was the bleach pile. And apparently, it's not. It's the oven. That is not the place to put your shirt if you're intimidated from the woman. You never expect your wife to see the oven. That'd be the last place you'd look. That's the last place I would look. That's why I figured it was a good old place. I thought no one goes in here. What does this say? I know. I'll hide it in the toilet. No one ever goes there.

I've got a pair of poker boxers that has, like, cards on them and poker chips and stuff. Sure. And they're my favorite boxers, man. And and my wife just hates them. She wants them out. Are they are they in poor repair? Not really. Like, they're actually like like, they I've had them for quite a while, but they're But you hold up. You baby them a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. They're

only for that, like, special day that you you you got something going on, you know, and you're like today's day. Job interview. Well, so let me like, what about them what about them makes them your, your favorite? Like, what what do you like them? I guess I just because I like poker, I guess, and, you know, I I

like this which sounds terrible because, like, I like to put my favorite things on on my boxers. I also enjoy candy. Do you have any candy boxes? I actually have some PCP. Some spray paint.

See? Now, I don't even know if we were to make PCB boxers. I don't even know what we would put on it. Is it a powder? Have no idea. Are you putting pills on there? This is terrible. I'm joking myself. I like them because it's like they're lucky boxers, and it's like literal because

there's like it's like poker because yeah. There you go. How Hey. Did you burn the Prairie Meadows? You know, I've never ever said, I hope someone looks at a literal interpretation of my underwear and and gets the second level of material that is available on it. Because I think they're my lucky boxes, and they have poker chips on it. That's why my wife doesn't appreciate it. These boxers speak to other people on multiple levels. Yeah. You're way too intellectually invested in your underwear. I look at mine, I go blue. Yes. Solid.

Look, they're clean. Speaking of speaking of gambling, how much can you is is is gambling Lord wise, is is gambling okay in

moderation? Like, is it's not a detriment? Or is it is it frowned on, like, totally? That's you, Daniel. That's me? You're the you're the Jesus question. That's a heavy one. You know, I'd say that if it's part of your entertainment budget, you're not hindering your family, you're not

stealing from God, you're not, you know Right. The tithe the tithe is out. See, I'll Tithe in right away? That is pathway no. Yeah. WWW Path Online. So the tithe is out, your bills are paid, you're not you're not scraping by, you're lucky undies are in good repair, there's no need to buy a new You know, I can buy a a diet Doctor Pepper like I have in my hand, I could buy a lottery ticket, or I could go to Prairie Meadows and spend $20. Okay. Well, and and that's what I say is like, especially the as expensive as as things are these days, going to a movie,

it costs you at least, you know, $40 if you're gonna get popcorn pop and all that stuff. That's true. And and you flush it down the toilet in two hours, you can flush it down in twenty minutes. Well, no. But the but the thing is is like, a, it's entertainment

either way, right? And with the movie Or it's kinda like similar to taking a vacation, right? You could go take a little vacation to Vegas or whatever you're doing,

or you can go elsewhere. Gaming is the only place that you may get it back. Right? You may not, probably. But like if you go to a movie you no. Listen. Hear me out. So if you go to a movie, your $40 is gone for sure. Right? Right? What? No one No. Right? They

don't return money to the movie theater doing Oh, right. I see what you're saying. They're gonna say, okay. They're just gonna say, you pick the pen. You go with $40. No. Given $40 isn't gonna really go too far probably in casino. But you could enjoy entertainment for for two hours or more or less. I mean, whatever. You could you could win a little bit. Right? Now now the are now the odds are against you, but if you're just going there for entertainment, you're not trying to Oh, yeah. Break the bank here or expect a win. That's true. But but, you know, you go on vacation to Hawaii, you are blowing money. Now it's fun, but you are not gonna come home with money in your pocket. Now you sound like a spokesman for a pyramid scheme. Like, you're already ready. You got this going. No. If you sign up It's not guaranteed, but you could get a bank. You got great friends. Past performance is not indicative on future wins. We went to Vegas. My wife and I, we've gone two or three times, and and we took the first time, we took two rolls of nickels with us. We played nickel poker all week long. We we we went with, like, $4. We came back with $3.60. 40¢ for the week of entertainment was not bad. That's what I'm saying. Did they give you free free soda slots? Yeah. They give you free stuff. They can offer me stuff, and I'm like, oh, no. No. I thought they were trying to sell me stuff. You know, like See, no. I didn't. See, like, at at Prairie Meadows, you have to pay for a beer or whatever.

In Vegas I mean I don't know. Diet Pepsi. Diet Doctor Pepper caffeine free. Oh, of Yeah.

Last time I was I went to Vegas a couple three years ago, and, like, I didn't get anything for free. Nothing. And so I didn't Were playing? Yeah. Yeah. With the high roller When did you like guys I was with the Well, here's thing. It depends on what you're playing because if you're playing like penny slots, they're gonna come around about once an hour. Like I was playing craps,

they're gonna come out every 15 minutes. You know what mean? The cheeseburger machine. Like, there's a cheeseburger slot machine, and then it goes to some kind of rocking tune, and then you win big money. And I'm like, big money. That's what I want. Yeah. Definitely. And, no, I did not win big money. I mean, I won You win little money? Yeah. I think I I won a couple $100, you know, which was enough to to to keep us rolling, you know, for another couple three days. Right. And then I had to get a job there to get home. Mean, I lost it here in the streets. That's not really what happened. But but you know I'm saying? Like like like, I I would always imagine Vegas to be like cheap buffets and and free soda, you know, because I I mean, I drink soda like a mad feed, and and so I'm like, this is gonna be great. I'll just sit around and drink soda all day. And I didn't get offered free soda one time. Really? I didn't Wow. They I was offered all kinds of stuff. And I I don't even know drinks. I'm like, I'm I just I don't know that stuff. You know, I I know pop. And they offered me stuff, I'm like, I don't even know what you're talking about. Know? Just let me play my nipple poker. Alright? Oh, this is so this is a true story. So I I lived out in Vegas for a while about about a year. And, so my my grandma likes to gamble. So she came out with her friend for a a visit, a trip. Did did her friend have an have a what was her name? Was it an old person? Anne Verline. Yep. There it was. There it Solid. And

so so so she came, we we went gambling we went out gambling together for a little bit and, you know, just playing, like, small little, like, penny slots or nickel, you know mean, whatever. And so she gave me, $10 and and I put it I put it in and, you know, gold a couple times, hit the jackpot. Really? Yeah. Now given though,

wasn't like the full extent of the jackpot because I wasn't playing the maximum No, you didn't max credit stars. Well, that's the thing though, if you're doing max credits, you're gonna do a nickel times 18. Yeah. Know what mean? So then like, then then you're you're playing nickel slots, but it it costs you $4.50 a roll. You know I mean? Right. Right. So I'm playing a little bit, but so I so it literally was the jackpot, and and I off the like and I'd only run a dollar through there or something, and I won like a $100. So like, that doesn't sound like a huge, but like, you know, proportionally Oh, was a huge win. It's 10 times your money.

So that was cool. That was the story? That was it? Yeah. So see that that's I thought like you were gonna have a security guy who's gonna come in and give you the business or your grandma tried to steal the money or so so what did the what did the grandma's friend have to do with anything? I just I thought for some reason, I I inquiring more I think it was a the name of the Yeah. But he was wondering why you include him in the story. Did she say anything to you? No. I guess it was, you know, just just extra little extra little bits, you know? Story. Yeah. In what way? Maybe the grandma's friend is a jerk. I don't know. Who name drops Are you calling Anne Verlene a jerk? I don't know. I've never met her. She sounds funny. Anne Verlene. Come on. She's probably beautiful. What do I know? There you go. I know I'm just Ron Howard's brother, he's disgusting. I'm gonna appreciate if everyone will not look at me. You you said Ron Howard. See, you're it's Clint Howard. Clint Howard is the guy's name. It's Ron Howard's brother. I said it correctly. Hey. Oh, okay. Zach, if if you're gonna be slow to the uptake, I wouldn't do it on the radio.

Well, I I know. Hold on. I'm not sure this redeems me at all, but when I was and this is this is a while back, but when I was, I know, 18 or so, worked in at a a gas station, and, there was a lady that used to come in, and then she said, I look like, Matthew Broderick. The guy from Project X that kills the monkeys?

Well, he tries to save the monkeys. Yeah. He's right. He's a virtuous character. They die nonetheless. He's done a poor job. He lets him have smokes. Remember that remember that monkey in there that's smoking on the flight simulator? You guys seen that one? I do.

Better than, Clint Howard. I don't know. See, Clint Howard could be, like, a virtuous guy. He hasn't touched a smoker, gambled, or True. He just looks funny. Straightened himself around. He just looks like a dentist. Now now let me put it this way. Like, look at it. Like, hold on. Let see if I let me get him back up on the screen here. He, so he's not he's not really a fine specimen of a looker. Right? But I mean, he's gotta be making millions of dollars. Way more than we're making. Right. At least a million. Alright? Let's put him down for at least 1,000,000 in all these movies he's in. Now, he could have paid to get some of this fixed. His teeth, for example.

So it was a big there's a big gap in his teeth. I mean It's working for him. Right. Well, yeah. For to get in the to get these roles. Yeah. Right. But who gets like, so you're saying, like, legitimately, he he made a million dollars, and he doesn't wanna, fix his appearance because he wants more roles as, the scummy perv janitor or the

I I would say, yeah. Yeah. Maybe Maybe those are Maybe he Maybe he looks think about that. When they cast, like, a fat guy, like, a guy has to go apply or or, you know, audition for fat guy You know, I or ugly guy. I was wondering that if they if they if they say, you know, we're posting for parts, we're looking for for for underbelly society types, you know? And some guys like, that's me. I'm exactly that scumbag. I'm going down. Hey, whatever fits. Who mean was it? MTV came out and did a video. Who was it?

You you know, I mean, they they were looking for whatever the maggots or I think they called them. You know? I'm a maggot. I mean but but they were lined up. The people were dying to be on that thing. Well, that's probably volunteer basis, Like Oh, yeah. You know? Well, would you rather be in their video. Yeah. But what not maggot? Would you rather be a paid maggot than a than a a bum maggot? You know what mean? Same thing with the underbelly society types, you know, as long as as long as Be a paid? No. As long as I'm gonna be that way, might as well give me a couple bucks. I was embarrassed and

Daniel, have you ever been compared to a celebrity of any kind? Absolutely. Yes. When I was in in college, and and it's very I thought it was very accurate at the time. We were watching Rambo, and one of the gals in the movie theater said, look just like Rambo, which I thought was pretty funny,

which I really don't. Did you style your hair differently at that time? Yes. Did you have a completely different build and facial structure? Yes. Let's just say it was twenty five years ago. Were were the black tight skin tank tops on sale at the time? Let's just say she noticed I was sewing my arm together during the movie. Did you I I would say I would go with maybe a Joy Fotone.

Nice to see on the public radio. I don't know. Maybe you'd, like, throw out a little blessing. What if I what I put my head slight? You don't understand. You ever see these pictures of saints and stuff in the Catholic, you know, in the Cath and they're always they're always just slightly this way. Like like like someone's like putting pressure on their right ear, and they're just trying to let the water out, you know, from when they got out of the pool. I don't understand. Like, every single one of them, when they get a picture taken, they're never sitting straight up. They're always just kinda a tilty. I I I I don't understand exactly what kinda, you know, what kinda pose that is. No one sits naturally like that. That's because they're saints. What do you mean? I don't know. They're different. Yeah. Are you saying that that their life as a saint is is incomprehendable to me on why your head would be slightly tilted one direction? I'm saying you walk around with your head like that, you'll be called a saint soon.

I think they would put me in jail. Don't worry. Think about it. I'm a try to When you asked to get in the pool for $10, were you kinda like, hey. That's what you gotta cock your head I a little was told to come to this pool. I've got a tent spot for you. I've heard saints tilt like this. Let me in, please. Hello, sister. We're gonna make you a greeter at church. A that's

a terrible idea. That's a good thing to get. They show up, they go, I don't know about this, and they turn right around. Out they go. Yeah. I can't find a a solid picture of mother Teresa. Because there isn't one. You prepared me to. She kinda hid in the background. No. I'm gonna get one. I mean, I think it's I think it's pretty dead on. I just I'm gonna find it. I'm gonna bring I'm gonna bring some up that's pretty awesome. Dan, you were you were gone last week at church. Right? That is pretty awesome. So yeah. And that's it. That's you guys. That's that's the story. Yeah. Chat about that. No. So so you know, we have the old the old time change, right? You spring forward. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got we got it good. We so so we got up and

we we got we woke up later than normal. Like, usually I set an alarm, but but usually our son gets up about the same time, 07:30 or so every day. So, you know, that's kinda like the backup alarm is and and I I messed up the alarm somehow, and he didn't wake up till, 08:30. Nice. So I figured, but but it I I do my alarm on cell phone, and a lot of cell phones, like, automatically adjust the time. Right? Sure. So I saw it. I was like, it's 08:30. I assumed it already adjusted, so it was, like, the new 08:30.

Well, I was not only did we wake up late, but you had to add an hour onto that, so we woke up at 09:30, church is at ten. Nice. But we had no idea. No, no. No, he thought it was eight We show so we show up and and the clock in the hallway says like 11:10, right? And and obviously, I'm not thinking right. I'm like, well, says 11:10,

but that probably means 10:10, so we're a little late. But that would be going backwards in time. Oh, yeah. So, like, that still didn't make sense. He comes rocking in like, it is five after. Yeah. And and and so we sit down, and and and Matt's Matt's, you know, talks for a minute and then goes, okay. Let's close in prayer. And we just look at each other like, what? What did we do? And then we realized, like, like, we didn't notice it at the time, but as we're walking in, we noticed lots of people kinda like and everyone, like, saw us come in. Right? And we noticed like every like like a lot of the people kinda like smiling at us. We just thought we were like cool people, you know, like, hey. Good to see you, everybody, Now you you know how to do church. Come in five minutes. Lord bless me. I'm out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Best can show up with everyone. Strolling in with donuts and juice in our hand, like Like they're in it for the long haul. Yeah.

We're here, everybody. We got some donuts in there. Don't worry. Serve it is I'm ready. We were so, you know, five minutes. That's all we needed. That's awesome. But, yeah, if we got Well, I had that story off and people were actually in the outer corner. Because we're I'm like, man, they they got started right on early. Maybe because Dan's not here. They, you know, they they said, let's let's I'm over there always trying to push them. Come on. Church started five minutes ago. What? You talk for us? What? Okay. I'm like, no. No. Really. It started five minutes ago. Take take me serious. No one no one likes to have restrictive rules on their god time. Like, oh, we're having a good time with our with our Christian family. We love all these people. I'm having a donut. Alright. Get down to business. This is fellowship. Exactly. They can start without us. Fellowship equals I'm not doing any work.

Killer. Oh, no. That's funny. So were you driving on Sunday then? You were driving down to Kentucky on Sunday? No. We left Friday. We were in Louisville, Kentucky. We went to Southeast Christian Church. They have, like, I think it's 30,000 who attend that church. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's a little church. It started, oh, in the sixties in the basement of some guy's house,

and now they run, like, $30. Do they run communion Yes. Every did. Like, the the I wonder what it cost to run communion on a church side side. And a guy with paper underwear. Putting hours there.

And it'll tilt, though. It really works. If yeah. Well, there's too much to go in there, but do you man, how much how much communion would you have to order? Like, how much juice do you have to have for 30,000 feet? Their weekly offering's, like, $800,000.

Jeez. Not that I pay attention to that kind of stuff. I mean, I think they seat I think the auditorium seats, like, in the 9,000 ish. And they have, like, three services or four or something. They're gonna have six services, I think, for Easter. Wow. That'll just blow that thing out. How many services are we having? Two.

Well, right now, one. Right. One. Yeah. We're starting to soon Soon as this radio show kicks off. And the flood gates over. You think with, like, the the the fifth and sixth, you know, session, they're just, kinda phoning it in. Yeah. Yada yada yada. Yeah. You say, the lord, you know what he did? You know what he did? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Yeah. You know what he did? You know what you did? You're done. You can download less less less services

sermon. You get it. Yeah. They're just playing the podcast over the over the first sermon too. Get this. I just read this, like, a week ago. One of the big things in churches now, like, especially these bigger churches and they have multiple campuses, they're going with holograms. No. That is the thing in the future. Holograms. We're

just gonna have a hologram, be a three d hologram of me going, no. That freaks me out. Why is that why would you have to do that? And they're saying when Job goes, know, we'll just keep the hologram going. Yeah. Now that's just because you missed a week doesn't mean that we need a picture of you going, woah. I think we do. I think we do. Okay, give an actual sermon. You've taken a legitimate technology because and cheapened they have a lot of they'll they'll they'll do a lot of churches now will do it like, you'll have a live campus and then like cross town, you'll do like a satellite link up or something. So, it's just a video anyway, so it's like a step up from the video. I don't like that. Well, do do a hologram? To give the appearance that really there. I think it's a little hip. A lot churches just try to be cool. See, think I think I would really be endorsing it. You're losing the fellowship, man. The video is cool as a small group tool or whatever. As long as you have someone to discuss it with after the video is over.

If that's how you're getting spiritually fed, think the person to person relationship because then you can go back up and ask them a question, that kind of jazz. So Sure. Sure. Very good, guys. Well, we're gonna get get ready to head out of here. You've been listening to live from the Path. Again, we had pastor Dan Hudson from Pathway Church in Johnson.
