In the Pathway Studios in Johnston proper. You are live from the path. Thanks for being with us here tonight. I'm going to wear your robe. I'm going to wear your robe. I don't even know why we have an opening mic. Because I rock it. That's why. They asked me to be part of the band, but I was busy. I'm too busy. I'm too big in internet radio to be part of your band. I'm sorry, I have live from the path going Monday night, 10 to midnight. Your national tour will have to wait. We parted ways. Was it amicable? Do you have a good repair with them, fellas? No, no. It's rapport, I think. Oh, man. And second of all. It is rapport. But no, no. We're not on speaking terms anymore. Boy, what an embarrassment. Anyway, you're listening to Live from the Path. My name is Ben Foost. Thanks for being with us tonight. I appreciate it. It's a balmy evening here in the Live from the Path studios.

Indeed. I've not dressed for the weather. But hopefully, it does appear that our guests have. We have a couple special guests in the studio tonight. Echo is with us. He will be performing, and we're going to get the world premiere of his latest tune. I'm pretty jazzed for this. Indeed. I'm pretty. I should be jazzed, right? Yes. It's a solid. It's very much a solid. Okay. The last world premiere we had here is when Pants showed his ankles. And, whoa, buddy, there was disappointment. Woo! I'm telling you. I'm glad I wasn't here for that. Yeah. It's the promo art for the world premiere of Pants' Ankles was real tricky. Also, Rebecca's in studio with us. Rebecca, thanks for being here. Thank you. Hello, hello. You'll also be world premiering something? Pretty soon, yes. Okay. See?

Exciting. Stay tuned. I don't have anything. I brought the same old mic with me. Just as disappointing as last week. What would you premiere if you had the ability to? My new poem. Give me a couple lines of it. It's not ready yet. It's not ready for world premiere. It starts out, in a blade of grass, I sit alone. That's it. That's all I got so far. It could turn so many corners, it would blow your mind. I do have a question about that. How can you sit on a blade of grass? Sir, that is impressive. Now see, the end of the poem explains how it's done. I don't want to let it go. It's mystifying. It has to do with Jesus. Okay. It's a Jesus piece. Jesus can make it happen. I guess if he can walk on water, I guess he can sit on a blade of grass. The last line is, Jesus can do what he wants. All I have to do is get myself from alone to whatever rhymes with wants, and I'll be finished. Really, it's not going to be very long. As long as you present it as a Mike-oo.

Hello. Hey, so I thought, speaking of really corny, so Harold Camping had a stroke this week, or today. I think it was over the weekend. Okay. So Harold Camping was the guy that predicted the end of the world, and we talked about this for a long time. Remember, we had Steve Brooks on from Boone Bible Ministries who came on and kind of shared where that perspective those guys were coming from. And so I read in the news report today that he had a stroke on his right side, which means that all he has left is completely wrong. Hell. Hell. It's like sandpaper. It's a bit rough. Oh, man. The end of times. I was really happy with that. I mean, really happy. I don't know if I'd put our flagship on it, but it's somewhere to start. Oh, man. Ben Foost, you genius, you. All right. You're listening to Live from the Path. Let's get to Echo a little bit. So you are a rapper, a hip-hop artist? Yes, sir. Is that the best way to say it? Yes. I'm pretty white, so you're going to have to help me out.

That's okay. Yes, I am a rapper. Okay, good. So how did you get into that? What took you on that route of expression? What got you into that part? I have to say it kind of began when I was younger. My mom just brought us up with a ton of music. She's always been musically inclined. She just brought us up with a lot of jazz, and that's kind of what there was back then. Now I've been listening to a ton of rap, kind of got into that about four years ago, just listening and listening to artists and just hearing what they had to say. It just kind of got me going. I can't really explain it because it's just a passion that all of a sudden burst from me. It wasn't something that I had been practicing over and over for years. It's something that I had been listening to and just thinking about and putting into practice in my life from what I've heard from them and how that went with Scripture and just how those two combined. It was a beautiful thing, I guess I would say. Well, and that's a unique thing. And one of the things that I guess, after listening to some, because I will admit to not being all that familiar with Christian rap, one of the things that I think it really does is it brings out the power of the Scripture because there's… Which actually rap tends to do anyway. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, you can… It's like the cadence of it just has a little bit more of a punch and a push than… We're kind of used to Scripture, hymns, you know, flowing nicely.

God's rowing the boat down the river, whatever he's got going on. And there's something that just is… God's rowing the boat down the river. I thought God was walking on water. Oh, man. What a bummer. God's rowing on the boat and Jesus is walking on the water beside him. How's it coming, Poppy? All right, you young buck. Give me a ride. I won't put up with this much longer. Can I just get in the boat, Dad? I walked, you're walking. Mother, I didn't buy this boat for you to enjoy. So, but it's the… But the cadence of it, like, allows it to be… I don't hit you differently than I think other forms of music may allow you to do so. Right, there's a difference between he keeps me singing as I go and, you know, something with a little bit more rhythm and walking. Are you going to do an example, Mike? Yeah, I thought about it, but then I backed out totally. I didn't do it. I should have, but I wasn't going to do it. We'll leave it to the professionals. I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with Chronicles. Bummer. So, I guess, do you find that you're normally getting inspiration for your tunes from Scripture? Is that where they start or they weave in? How does that work for you?

I would have to say it's kind of more of a weave in kind of thing. For me, whenever I look for inspiration, usually it comes to me, which is a blessing in itself. I mean, I would not expect that. But it just comes to me, or I just listen to secular radio, to be honest. I listen to what people are listening to these days and what really gets them, and the stories that are behind that, and that's just kind of what makes my music, the stories that people have, the pain in their life, and then just what I feel God is echoing to me. That's also kind of how I came up with my name. But yeah, a lot of it is just Scripture coming to me after the fact that I started writing, and just realizing that, whoa, this matches up with this piece of Scripture, which is an awesome thing because, I mean, there's just so much truth in the Bible. I like that because it reinforces the thought that God plays in every arena. Right. You don't say, like, whatever you've got going on, I don't have to say something that's biblical and hope that you kind of squeeze yourself into it. I can say, where are you at? And then, you know, in this way, God can meet you where you're at, whatever you've got going on. Here's something that helps. He doesn't just know where you're at. He invented where you're at. He knows what you're about. It's not an issue. And so, yeah, that's very cool. It crossed a lot more lines and doesn't alienate people who would otherwise be alienated just by almost just simply by music styles, you know? Well, you know, and that is kind of an issue, right? Because if you try to shove somebody in the God box, they don't get to know the personal relational God, right?

You say, like, here's God. Now, you try to fit your life here. And obviously, there's some bending to do in a relationship with God, right? But when we're talking about the one-on-one, the relationship that you're allowed to have with the all-knowing Savior, you know, it's good to meet on that level and to understand that he's playing on that level. Sometimes I think we feel like he's, you know, a million feet in the air without walking with God implies next to, right? Not towing behind, not looking at the binoculars and see what he's up to, not walking next to him as he rose the boat. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I try to convey is we have a mission to be the bridge to God because we aren't God, but we do have him dwelling in us. So they should be able to see that light shine. And that's what I'm hoping with this music, that they be able to see God through the message and I don't have to say God, God, God over and over again. And I don't have to proclaim a verse for them to get the truth that comes from that verse that I found. Which is actually, I mean, that's a goal for just a Christ-following life anyway, right? Like, and we've talked about this before, like when you're attempting to, you know, witness to people and talk about how you have a relationship with Christ, you know, you say Jesus 50 times, they'll shut you down. They don't want to talk to you anymore, you know, but they'll look at a lifestyle from afar and see, man, there's just something about that cat that I dig on. What's the deal? You know, and if it's Jesus coming out of you, then they'll eventually get that point without you having to say thee, thou, and shalt not, and really blow them over the head with it. Yeah. Sandals and put that robe on.

Thou must wear thou breeches. No one walks on the water with breeches. Hike him up. Oh, if he had to do high waters. That's not good. You're listening to Live from the Path. We are in studio with Echo and Rebecca. Rebecca, do you do any rapping? That might be a gift I don't know about. Oh. Oh. So, um. I say the same thing about laundry. I've got to give it a shot. I could be good at it or not. Yeah. I like to think that I have potential. Yeah. But I like to leave it to the professionals at this time. Agreed. Yes. Sorting in that kind of business. Oh, what a disaster. White, red. Go. Oh, you should try it. You should try it, Mike. Yeah. The admonition is from the chat.

Is it you get it picked up? That sounds like it's from my wife. By the way, live from the Path Chat, feel free to jump in at any time. I'll try to keep an eye on it. If you have questions for Echo or Rebecca, please ask them. Or for me. I do answer questions from time to time. Feel free to throw them out there. Also, we do have a pretty cool show tonight. So, we're going to be hearing from Echo. He's going to be performing one for us. We're going to listen to a couple of his tunes as well so you can hear what that's about. And then we're going to do the world premiere. Yes, sir. Boy. It's the world premiere, Mike. Indeed it is. It is the world premiere. I like what Rebecca has done. I'm so excited. Yeah. That's all right. This is the gift that I've been missing. I call it the salt and pepper. That's beautiful. Then you bring her together. Make way for the human maraca. I have a shirt that would go well. Make way for the human maraca.

Also, we're going to be doing a fresh and ever entertaining round of Secular vs. Solomon. This is where I will give you a proverb and you tell me whether that is a secular proverb or it is from the mouth of Senior Solomon. Uh-oh. Or Agar. Oh. We're making no distinction here. If it's in proverb, we're calling it one guy. All right. So, we're going to do Secular vs. Solomon. We're also going to do a rousing segment of Dear Life from the Path. This is where someone has written Dear Abby for some legitimate advice. We're just going to hijack that question and see if we can answer it better. Let's do it. That's Dear Life from the Path. It's going to be awesome. It is going to be good. By the way, if you want to catch us during the week, you can go to livefromthepath.org. Please friend us on Facebook. If we get over 200 hits, I'll just be very happy. I don't have anything to offer you, really. Let's do it. But go ahead and smack that thumbs up button. We'd love to have that from you. Also, you can check out our YouTube channel. We have performances from some of our past artists, including Jesse Anderson, Syndrome of Fire. Kevin Lindgren was in the studio. He's got a gig. He's at the underground tonight with his band. Yeah, no, I almost called him to roast him about having a gig opposite of when the show's going,

but I figured that was a bit much. I don't know what he was thinking. Who's going to be able to go to a show one day night? There'll be so many people. You've got to lock that down. Life from the Path is on. So anyway, you can go check them out. If you're looking for the clips from last week from Ashton Powers, I do apologize. The audio just didn't turn out very well. Ashton did a wonderful job. Bob, we did not represent him correctly with the audio recording, and I didn't want to put it out there kind of tanking the poor guy. So we're going to have him back on. We'll get some fresh cuts from him. We'll throw him out there. It was a pretty good show. You can replay the whole thing off the front of the website. Also, if you missed it, we were on the Praise 940 broadcast was Sunday. I hope you enjoyed that. Let's go ahead and why don't you tell me a little bit about Shut It Down, and then we'll play it for him. Definitely. Shut It Down. The story behind the song is basically anybody having an addiction with pornography and stuff like that. It just really hits home with a lot of people, especially men. I had a friend who's been struggling with that, and I admit even in my own life, I think any guy just really struggles with that at times. And just to have that song that motivates you not to and to just live for more, it just really helps out. And, I mean, I just hope it helps a lot of people. Awesome. Cool. All right.

This is Shut It Down by Echo on Live From The Path. You want to look away, but she coaxes you again. Looking back to the images, losing your identity like a birth certificate. So delicate, your mind can't overcome it. So, so you feel, just want to run from it. But you keep on feeling you're going so weak. And now you're leaning on these feelings to free you and help you feel loved and complete. So, no one seems to love you, no one seems to care. So, you keep on looking, thinking you're the only one aware. Feeling that what you've been, getting bigger and bigger. But she makes you feel good from what she gives and gives you. If only you knew that you're cheating on your future wife like they're players. Do you have any clue what these women go through? But she calls you at the mall hoping you on the explore to see what she has in store. And then she gives you what you want. You hope research because it wasn't enough. Let's have you come. Look at the can again. Stay the true love, man. Shut it down. I don't want no attack and leave. That was Shut It Down by Echo. Shut it down. On Live From The Path. No more. That's the lyrics I've been missing. Sit on a blade of grass alone. Stop that. Sorry.

Sorry. Sometimes you can't stop the rocking. Right. No more. Shut it down. I like that. You can just shut it down. Yeah. I like it. Shut it down. You know, it's a tough thing. It's a tough thing because the presence of that temptation is very strong in our culture. Definitely. It's a very strong deal. You know, either you can go looking for it or it'll come looking for you. But either way, it's going to come across. And the thing is, is if you're not embracing it with a, you know, we're not doing this. This is not happening. It can exist all it wants to, but that doesn't mean it has to exist for me. It's a tough thing. And the thing is, it's something you do behind closed doors. It's something you do behind a curtain. Like, whatever. It's not a sin that you wear on your forehead. Right. You know, so yes, you get away with it. But on the same regards, it eats you up. And it's not something, I mean, it's embarrassing to bring up. It's just a tough deal.

And I think it's important to kind of identify it, grab it by the neck and say, look, this is not going on anymore. I like it. Right. And it's actually one of those, and especially all those secret sins are like that, you know, stuff that's not outwardly visible, stuff that people can't pick out just by looking at you or, you know, as a byproduct of your lifestyle, you know. Look at that eyebrow. Porn. Porn, definitely, definitely. Harold. Come on, man. What? We weren't supposed to look at that tonight. Come on. But it's those kind of sins like that. Like, that's what the put on the armor of God verse is about. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're going to fight this one, and we're going to fight it wholeheartedly, and that's how it has to be done. It's not something that just kind of works itself out. Like, you have to fight that. You know, the stuff that you can't be called to the carpet by other Christians or other people, you know, the stuff that you've got to fight, or you've got to have Jesus fight for you. You know, those are the tough ones. Those are the ones that will get you, and those are the ones that you have to battle, and you have to battle on purpose. Yeah. Well, that's the biggest deceit, right? The middle ground. The biggest deceit is that you can live somewhere shallowly in the middle. You know, I can handle a little bit of this. I can, you know, I can deal with this on my own. Oh, it'll be fine. It'll go away.

Like, that kind of stuff. That, that's the biggest deceit, because then you have, it gives you the impression that things are okay, that you don't have a hole to dig yourself out of, or you don't have a hole to have Christ drag you out of. And that's, and that's tough. Spike and Langer. What's up? Hey, buddy. Hey, Troy. Sir. All right. Troy made it. Can I throw up? Yeah. All right. Troy, this is Echo and Rebecca. Hello. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So, did you bring any no-bakes? No-bake cookies? Yeah. No? Nobody ever brings no-bakes in here. No one ever asked me to bring no-bakes. Mike. Yes, I did. When? You showed me the text. I sent, I sent you a rap battle that I did earlier today that said. A rap battle?

Yeah, me and a guy. Just a, just a regular dude. Hey. Hey, man. Sam Wendell's on the chat. Sam Wendell. Hey, Sam. Yo. What's going on, brother? Yo, Sam. Yo, Sam. What's up, man? Jenna, don't even. Sam's on the chat. Boy, Sam talks in all caps. Jenna, Jenna Carey's on here, too? Oh, man. Wait a second. Is that, is that Sam Wendell and Jenna Carey right now? And is that Sam Elliott, too? Mike, do you do any impressions of Sam Elliott? I don't know, but I really wanted to go, what's up? But I didn't. Shout out to you all, guys. Nice to have you on the show. Yeah, what's up? Thanks for, uh. I can't do it. Thanks for stopping by Live from the Path.

Yeah. Hey, bud. So, I've been taking notes. I had to get a piece of paper to take some notes on. And I accidentally dragged up this, uh, the story of the Old Testament from the Everyman Bible Study Series. Uh-huh. Produced by Sharon Christian Church. And check this out. Uh, here's, uh, how to get the most from this course. Why tape cassettes? Oh. Many experts believe that the invention of the tape cassette is the most significant development in the history of educational communication. In a few short years, the tape cassette has revolutionized the knowledge education industry and the effects have barely begun to be felt. If Jesus were alive, he himself would use the tape cassette. Was it eventually revised for the DVD and then the… What about the iPod? Yeah, exactly. CD, DVD, MP3. I'm pretty sure this thing has not seen an update. That guy, that looks like Moses is given the peace sign holding the Ten Commandments. Does it not? Wait, what? Nope, nope, nope. Now, see, here's the thing. That's ridiculous because the Ten Commandments were written on heavy, heavy burdens of stone. If Moses can lift both tablets with the Ten Commandments and peace sign somebody, I mean,

that's how… Moses is a madman. He is. He's freelancing it. He's got one in the arm and he's just, he's crawling around and pointing out to people. You know, Mike, you know what he looks like? He looks like the hip Jesus. Oh, from the missions pamphlet? From the missions offering, yeah. To this guy? Yeah. Yeah, so there's a… My grandpa, at my grandpa's church, this had to have been five, six years ago, they had a missions pamphlet and kind of a box, the rice bowl, or it was the Andy Moons or whatever. So you're supposed to put the stuff in the rice bowl and there was a Jesus next to it and he was doing this. Give it to missions. Like, he's got his things going down. He was hip. Wow. Hip. It was just like the buddy Christ in that dog movie. You remember that? Yeah. Yeah, that's what he looked like. He looked like that guy. The Catholic reform for the buddy Christ. Yeah, that looked like him.

That's a horrible movie. You know, that's fine talk from a guy that forgot to bring a no-bake cookies. Oh. Like, you have ruined the point. That's even finer talk from a guy who didn't tell the guy to bring a no-bake cookies. No-bake cookies. Don't hip Jesus no-bake cookies. You need no-bake cookies. And Jesus. And Jesus. And Jesus. Anyway. Let's go put that one second. No-bake cookies. He had a stroke and now he's entirely wrong. Hell. You're listening to Live from the Path. We are in studio with Echo and Rebecca. So I'm excited here. Coming up in the next few minutes, we're going to have you actually perform live. You're going to perform the youth live. This song is catchy. It is. I had to reframe myself. I almost gave the chorus away, which is no good because I would have given it a poor record. Shut it down. Yeah. Shut it down. Shut it down.

Shut it down. I don't want no more. If people want to check out more about you, so you're on Reverb Nation. Yes. You're on Facebook. Yes. What's your preference on how they find you? They can go to any of those. I'm on Twitter. You can go to my song on iTunes. You can check out the youth on there. You can go to Napster. You can go to Amazon MP3. IndieCharts.com. All those sites I'm on. You can check me out on there. Yeah. On the Napster? Yeah, I'm on the Napster. The Napster is still around. You. It is. I didn't know Napster. What does that look for? Is it like the tape cassette? It's the greatest invention ever. Jesus would use Napster. The A-track. Speaking of which, I got a record player on the Altoona Trash Day over the weekend.

Yeah. So it's the trash night in Altoona, right? Where you're allowed to take out all your stuff and throw it on the curb. Your appliances and your own crap, otherwise you can't throw away. I gotcha. So that's Saturday. So Friday night, they put everything out. And then, you know. Yeah. Half of our small group went looking through garbage. Is that where you found that board game? Yeah. That's exactly where we found it. Someone threw away the Ten Commandments board game. And I tell you what. It's the Tops. It really is. We're going to play it. Yeah. It's Tucks and Tails. So anyway, so I found a record player. And I had to put a cord on it. And I went to the stop at the Goodwill and bought some records today. There's some pretty good ones. I got Disney's greatest hits. Oh. 20 of those. Yeah. Like, it has a I Want to Be Like You from the Jungle Book.

Yeah. The Louie Priam book. I want to be like you. I want to be like you. Hope the oobie do we. I want to walk like you, talk like you, talk like you, talk like you, that's you. Yeah. That's hip. I feel like a total loser now because I've never seen that movie. Oh. You know what? That's worse than No Big Cookies. I saw that because it was worse. This guy's striking up twice now. I think he's got one more. I'm a horrible person. I can already tell. He's got one more. Speaking of, does it play like full-size records or can you play 45s on there? I don't have the donut that you're supposed to put on there to put the short scale. Well, if you get it, I have a box full of 45s. Sweet. I like old, old stuff. Give me, what are your top five 45s? Top five 45s? I think I have some Frank Sinatra. I've got some Dean Martin. Then I might have some actual, I might have some actual Rat Pack ones too. Like the 45s.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Rat Pack. Yeah, the Rat Pack. Can you name the whole Rat Pack? Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra, then Dean Martin. There's always one guy everybody forgets. Pants. And then. Pants will get me. What about me? Somebody remember me. That's me as a rat. Thank you. What was that? Does he know? Because I can't remember. Oh, Pants will get it. He always knows that guy. And yes, I am wearing a smiley face t-shirt. Yeah. Did you see that? Very nice observation right there. Somebody was going to bed. Yeah. Who's going to bed? Sam. Don't go to bed. It's like 10 o'clock. Who goes to bed?

People are tired. Yeah. Okay, who's going to bed at 10? Anyway, I can't remember the fourth dude. Okay. Huh. Let me know if you get the donut. Okay. Actually, so that reminds me. If any of you people that are on the chat are local, if you want to bring some no-bake cookies down to the studio, we're at 6510 Merle Hay Road, and we could really use some. I failed. Yes. I will give you a free autograph. Yes. Ooh. Why can't I have a free autograph? I'll give you one at home. That was perfect. Best PR person. Ooh. Yes. Ooh. That sounds fantastic. That's pretty fantastic. What is an autograph? You're listening to Live from the Path.

We have Echo and Rebecca. Peter Lawford. Thank you, Pants. Oh, come on. That was the other guy? Yeah. Nobody ever knows him. He's the fourth unknown dude. He's lame. You know, like they always show the posters of them smoking, playing pool, and then there's always one guy in the bathroom. Peter Lawford. Peter Lawford always misses all the pictures. Oh, man. You about ready to fire up a tune here, Ben? Yeah, let's do this. Let's do this. So we're going to have Echo is going to perform the youth with us, and tell us just a little bit about this before we fire it up. The youth. It's all about the youth, all of you out there. Just that verse about do not look down on the youth just because they are young. We can rise up and lead this generation as well. And I just believe in you guys, and I think we should stand up and take our place. So, yeah, it's kind of an anthem for the youth. Sweet. Dig on it. The anthem. This is The Youth by Echo on Live from the Path.

Spend truth. Live in love. Stand up. We the youth. We the youth. Bring your new lyrics raw. And with this cold winter, gotta bring heat to thaw. Even in the summer, we ain't gonna stop. We'll take it to the beaches. Our flavors sweet like peaches. Call us the salt of the earth. Our creepers of a child's birth. Lighting up your taste buds. Showing you a peak girl. Something greater than life, cuz. It takes you higher than the buzz. Be living longer than light years. Tell stalker man not to fear. A life of living has always been here. So I tell my youth. Calling out from the booth. To stand up and step out. Let them know what we're about. Don't be ashamed to bring the truth. Yeah, I see you down. Look at the proof. There's a battle every day. Do not let darkness have its way. So I'm firm on what I say.

Youth, it's time to rise up today. Don't let them look down on you just cause you don't know what they do. Calling on my youth. Let's move. What I do, I move, I move. What it is, special, special. Living love, I know. Stand up, with you, with you. Something deep inside of you, you're dying to know the truth. You think life is chasing guys, chicks, rides, chips. Anything that'll give you a lift. Like an immature, you biff. See life is truly a gift. Though you were given passions, you're consumed in your distractions. What a waste, like copy and paste. I live by words I can never replace. But can you surrender to something better? I know life is rough, but will pain be enough? Do you want to deny love? I know you're not dumb, so stop wasting your life. On temporary pleasure, on what you think is better. Thinking you got it together. But to see to love the dresser, I'm sure you've already met her. Ready to open your heart? Just let it go is the start. I'm not talking about the past, but you knew that wouldn't last. Those relationships, the strips, the intimate loss of innocence. Left you in distress, then they left. But now you know, it's time to begin.

I know it's tempting, but you've learned your lesson. You're free of passive pressure. You don't live by baggage. You have a new carrier who lives with a passion who freed you from bondage. We call that a chain reaction. That's a bit smack. Tell your past to sit back. They tell you you're too young. Put down the mic. You're done. Stop dancing or passing or hitting that practice. You're just not good enough. Hard to ever feel love. But this could change. Not talking about money. There still will be pain. Ain't perfect glass but bunny. But you're human, not a practice dummy. So stop selling short. Don't say mission aboard. I'll be by your side. Not alone against the night. Cause we're together in this fight. Stay through whatever on the grind. It's time to fly. So above or go high. Veering alive with a new life. I'm calling all the youth tonight. Time to light up the sky.

Let's go. Time to fly. I know what it is. It's bad truth. It's bad truth. It's bad truth. Live in love. I know. I know. I know. Stand up. With you. With you. With you. What I do. I know. I know. What it is. It's bad truth. It's bad truth. It's bad truth. Live in love. I know. I know. Stand up. With you. With you. With you. You're listening to Live from the Path.

That was awesome. There you go. Woo. That was awesome. I can't sing it. Man, I wish I wasn't so bad. My blade of grass tootin' really stinks. Man. Your blade of grass. And I know. You didn't miss much. And now. Gosh. A micu. A micu? Yeah, what it is. I got to know. What it is. A blade of grass. A micu. Hiya, dude. Do the hamburger thing again. That was awesome. I was doing the salt and the pepper and then I got it. The hamburger. I'm telling you, if this was a 10-cylinder engine, we were using all of them. I mean, we were a rock. Man, I have to say, what was this thing like? Yeah, he was going.

Was that like the crank that the soldier boy gets? It looked like a guy fighting. Do you want to crank out soldier? It looked like a guy fighting rig-a-mortis. You're not going to get me. It was the one-handed motorbike. The one-handed motorbike? I was some faultiness with this accelerator. He's too cool for two. That's the sly. I think that dance is too cool for you. What it is. I think you and I just go to a club and try that one. Here's what I'm playing. You tell me a guy on a motorcycle doesn't itch? He doesn't have something where he's got to lay back and hold on one and do business with the other. That may be 100% true, but I can't imagine making a dance move out of it. Well, obviously you can't, so I'll stop. I'll stop. Well played. I'm pretty sure they've made a dance move out of everything so far. Check this out. I was on the lawnmower. I was shopping cart. Check this out. I just thought of one, actually. I call this the no-no-bake cookies. Oh. It doesn't rock, I'll tell you that.

Here's the deal. I won't ever forget it. He looks emaciated. Oh, whatever. I don't want to hear it. Next week, I will bring no-bake cookies. Heck yeah. Next time I'm on the show, I'll bring two packs of no-bake cookies. Double it, double it. There's one up in me here. What is this? Echo's coming on next week. Two no-bake cookies and seen Jungle Book. Woo. What can you do about that? Obviously not. We're going to watch the Jungle Book. You want to watch it? What is it? The Jungle Book? It's a cartoon? You've never seen it? No, I wasn't. Isn't it a Disney movie? Wow. Yeah. Okay, don't kill. I've literally seen like four Disney movies in my entire life. Which ones?

I've seen The Lion King. Solid. I've seen Finding Nemo. Ooh. And then I've seen… Little Mermaid? Yeah, I've seen The Little Mermaid. Solid, definitely. That's it? I don't know any of that. Have you seen Fantasia? No. How about The Aristocats? No, but Anne talks about it all the time. Wow, you're in the beast. Cinderella? I think I've seen that one in school. I've never seen Cinderella. Oh. Not kidding. When I was a kid, I used to read books. I used to read books. I did not watch movies. Look where that's gotten you. Yeah. Look where that's gotten me in the top 99th percentile in the United States for standardized test scores. Thank you very much. Yeah.

That's where that got me. I'm king of dorkville. Leave me alone, man. Would you like a cookie? You know what? You know what? Yeah, go over. I may be a dork, but I'm bigger than both of you combined. Man, that's true. Yeah. I wish I had read books. We're going to have to roadblock him on the way out. All right. You're listening to Live from the Path. Hey, if you want to get a hold of Echo, you can find him on Facebook. He's also on Reverb Nation. He's tough to find on the Reverb Nation. Because it is the biggest joke on the name Echo ever. There's 50 of them, one after the other. Yeah. Look up the hip-hop one. Yeah. I would have said, look up the good one. Nice. But you're not me. I'm not saying you couldn't pull it off. I'm just… Well, look up the… Good one.

So, if you want to find him, is there a way for someone to… What's your preference for them to get a hold of you? Let's say they say, you know what? I want to have Echo at my next event. Facebook, is that the way to do it? Yeah. Contact me on Facebook. I also have a manager who is out of town at the moment in Florida. No, not Florida. Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Wisconsin. I just stuck with Florida. So… On a recon mission. Well, you can say that. We're going to say he was Dale. You can contact either of us and let us know if you want to have us out at your event. I would love to be at your event this summer, for sure. Sweet. Yeah. That would be nice. Why are you looking at me? Are you having an event or not? That's my birthday party. I don't know if I'm having one. When I'm just looking at you, I just see no-bake. Oh. Like, neon sign.

Like, right across my head. It's like a neon sign no-bake cookie. It's not one of those secret sins you wear on your clothing. Bummer. I'm sorry, guys. I forgot the no-bakes. I've let everyone know. I'm honestly contemplating just leaving. No, stay. Driving to Hy-Vee real quick and grabbing some no-bake cookies. No, no. That would be only half necessary. Please don't consider doing that for any longer than 30 seconds. Yeah, I wouldn't want you to go out of your way unless you feel like a deep debt of gratitude to me for not breaking any of your legs. Well, plus, I wouldn't want you to miss the Internet's fastest-growing game show. I'm sorry. What was that you said? The Internet's fastest-growing game show. Secular or Solomon. Yeah. Score. Man. So we're supposed to be ready to go. It's not going. It's slowly becoming the… And now, for America's fastest-growing game show, Secular or Solomon. And you are up for Secular or Solomon, the Internet's fastest-growing game show, where we will give you a proverb, and you will decide if it is A, a secular proverb, meaning

not from the Bible, or B, Solomon. A proverb only attributed to Solomon. Or Edgar. The other guy that wrote the proverb. Right. You can be in the proverbs. It's got to be in the proverbs. That's the deal. You can't… If it sounds kind of New Testament-ish, eh, secular. That's not the deal. It's either Solomon or not. That's the game. So. All right. You're listening live from the path. You are part of Secular vs. Solomon chat. You are encouraged to participate. Go ahead and type Secular Solomon in the chat window. I don't want to see one guy dominating. Like, if you see some guy that really rocks and is good, don't wait until he puts one out there. I want you to throw one out on your own. Dang. That was my game plan. I'm terrible at this game. Is it… Yeah. This is the one where I do the exact opposite of what you say.

And I don't really get one. Actually, I think that's every game show. Con. It's very true. Uh-oh. Someone's already answering all your questions. That's not funny. Don't encourage him to do that. You guys. All right. Here we go. Secular vs. Solomon. On Live from the Path. Here we go. So… Hold on. I don't know how you sleep at night. Actually, quite well. With how you treat me. Yeah. Go ahead. I'm not your put-away woman. All right. Let's do this. Here we go. An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. Secular or Solomon? Mike.

Solomon. Secular. Secular. Secular. Secular for Rebecca. Echo. I'm going to have to go with secular. That is Proverbs 24-26. Oh, no. No. Oh. We're already losing. Ooh. I never get them right. If I say… I know. That's why I say the opposite. I normally win. That's right. Solomon. Way to go. Here we go. Number two. When an elephant is in trouble, even a frog will kick him. When an elephant is in trouble, even a frog will kick him. Secular or Solomon. Seriously? Did you have Dan write these? Deuteronomy Dan.

Solomon. No. Secular. All right. Solomon for Mike. Secular. Secular for me. Secular. Rebecca, secular. Secular. That is secular. It is a Hindu proverb. Yeah. Shocking. Congratulations. The Lord rarely uses elephants and frogs in the same chapter. Here's the deal. I want Troy to be successful. All right. He's 99 percentile. Jazz it up. Begin to weave and God will give the thread. Begin to weave and God will give the thread. Secular or Solomon. Starting on Echo's side. Echo. Secular or Solomon. Secular. Secular for Echo.

Rebecca. I'd have to say secular. Rebecca also goes to secular. It has God in it. Troy. He's in a stoop. Can you repeat the question? Oh. I can't take him. Begin to weave and God will give the thread. Solomon. Boy, he says it better than I do. I'm also going with secular. The answer is German proverb. Oh, come on. German proverb. Yes, sir. Caveat. German. As is before, if you are going to guess secular, you must also attach a nationality. Yeah. You got to tell us where we're going to. I forgot about that. Oh, really? Yeah. I did forget about that. I apologize. That is vintage Visigoth, German proverb. Here we go.

For 300. A man with trousers that are too short should wear long suspenders. Seriously. Seriously. Solomon. Excuse me. Excuse me. Okay. A man with trousers that are too short should wear long suspenders. Secular or Solomon. I'm going with secular and English proverb. Pay. Did you just call me pants? Yeah, go ahead. Why are you calling me pants? I wanted to. Pants. Actually, pants is in with secular. Yeah. You talked to pants, not Troy. He's used Ben as the nationality. Used Ben as the nationality. Um, yeah. I agree. I agree with secular. Okay. And I go. Ooh, I go just for the heck of throwing something out. Scandinavian.

Rebecca. Secular and Dutch. Dutch? Secular. Secular and the British. The British. Right on. Wait a minute. I submit that that's a piggyback on my English. He can say the same. Technically, Great Britain is correct. Are we in cahoots or what? Technically, British is different than English these days. Let me tell you that. It doesn't matter. I'll put it that way. You're both wrong. All right. This ain't over, man. A man with trousers that are too short should wear long suspenders. Secular Jamaica. It is a Jamaican proverb. I didn't even know they had proverbs. I didn't know they had suspenders. Jamaicans have trousers? Who's the one wise man down there? I'm going to tell you something, friends. Actually, I'm guessing that he's the guy with shorts that are too short or trousers that are too short and long suspenders and he's just pointing fingers at everybody else.

He's trying to make himself the good guy. You know what people should wear? Backwards hats. That's right. MC Hammer tried the same thing in the 80s. You know what people should do? Wear parachute pants. That's what people should do. Proverb America. I tried that. Everybody laughed at me. Yeah. Parachute pants didn't go well with me. Do the Dutch wear suspenders? Is that what you thought? I don't know. Is that what you thought Dutch? When I heard suspenders, I don't know why. I just thought of Dutch. I just thought of letters. Weirdly. That's two weeks in a row. Sounds delicious. That suspenders have come up on the program. Indeed. Last week. Hey, hey, there's a lady here. Hey, do ladies wear suspenders? Do they ever wear suspenders practically?

Have you ever known a lady that has worn suspenders in a practical fashion? I have seen fashion where, I don't know, vintage where they'll wear suspenders. But not to keep up the drawers. But not every day. You don't see a lady walking around with suspenders. I mean, you just don't. I knew it. Is there a nickname for suspenders? Sups. Sups. Penders. Pendies. Pendies. You wear your pendies? I don't think I do. You wear your pendies? I couldn't say pendies. I couldn't either. Dude, I'd totally be cool if I could walk up to someone and you wear your pendies today. When I pass them on the road, they're like, sups. I'm like, no, man, belt. Belt. Belt. No worries. That's awesome. Belt. You are incorrect. All right. Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler.

Whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise, secular, or Solomon. I think Mork and Mindy was a show that Robin Williams went on in the 80s. Okay, thank you. Yeah. He was the alien Mork. He wore suspenders. Like rainbow suspenders, didn't he? No, no, no. That's what you got. We have now found a reason for why this man is here. I don't get it. Yay! I'm saying secular. Secular? I say Solomon. Solomon? Rebecca? I haven't said Solomon yet. I'm going to go with Solomon. Solomon? Could you please repeat the proverb? Proverbs repeated as such. Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Secular or Solomon? Since I haven't, well. I'll just go with Solomon.

Secular. The answer is Proverbs 20, verse 1. Put it right there. What now? Solomon. Hold on. What was the translation again? Mike's pulling out his iPod. I'm not allowed to use this during secular film. I'm sorry. I've been banned. Oh. This guy was a problem before. It's probably the NIV. Okay, I'm with you. All right, here we go. What? It's not my fault that you got it incorrect. It's your own fault. Was it the beer part that threw you off? Yeah. Booze. I think they're not booze. No way, man. Wine? There's no booze in the bottle. God never said booze. They say wheat germ. I'm not a cheater.

Blasphemy. Oh, yeah. Moving on. Here we go. So, one who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Secular or Solomon? Starting on Echo's side of the table. Echo. Secular or Solomon? Well played, sir. We'll go with a proverb this time. Solomon for Echo. Rebecca? Secular. Secular. Parts ways. Troy Ungerlinger. You're breaking up my twinage. I'm sorry. I say, uh… Ryan, you are that friend. The chat loves you. You're a great guy. Aww. Listen to this now. Listen to this.

Thanks, Josh Kester. Troy? Solomon. Solomon for Troy. I'm also going to go secular. All right. One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. That friend is Echo, and he is mentioned in Proverbs 18, 24. Oh. I'm what it is. I got a friend. You don't. Solomon has betrayed me for the last time. If you don't feel alone, you should. Fish and guests smell in three days. Oh, come on. Did you say geth? Guests. Oh, I was going to say. Do you have a friend named Geth? Smell in three days. No. That would be unfortunate. That's not funny. Especially if he was a sweaty bitty. Fish and guests smell in three days. Starting with Troy Spengeldinger. Troy?

Secular or Solomon. Spengeldinger? When are we going to completely get rid of that? Please don't avoid the question. Secular or Solomon? Beef and hangar. My apologies. So, I like your hat. No. I'd say secular, and I'm going to go with Indian. Indian big fishers. Rebecca. And smelly. Secular and Japanese. Ooh, Japanese. Rebecca. Swimming outside the Pacific. Echo. I'm going to go with secular and Indonesian. Mike. Not a true people. They're certainly not indigenous. I'm going with secular and Pakistani. Fish and guests smell in three days. It is secular, and it is said by a Indonesian Ben Franklin. Indonesian Ben Franklin. So, Ben Franklin is the answer? Ben Franklin is the answer. I was going to say.

Oh, I was going to say. Boy, that really would have been something, wouldn't it? I was like, I'm king of the world. It's like, wait a minute. What? I know everything. One of our forefathers was Indonesian. I remember him living on an archipelago. Oh, man. Here we go. So, the opportunity that God sends does not wake up him who sleeps. The opportunity that God sends does not wake up him who sleeps. That sounds like a perfect one to start with. Rebecca. Definitely a proverb. Proverb. Definitely a proverb. Echo. Mike. Back to Mike. Back to Mike. Mike to Flex. Troy. Hey. Beef and Hanger, you're up. Oh, come on. I'm saying Solomon. It's Angledinger. It's not that ridiculous.

Angledinger. Come on. I say secular Buddhist. I will go with Solomon. Echo, you're up. You know, this man over here has never answered. He's king of the answers. He wrote the quiz. Just kidding. I would have to go with secular and English. The opportunity that God sends does not wake up him who sleeps. It is secular. Said by a Sengali. A Sengali? Are you serious? Sengali. Sengali. You're welcome. Man, disaster. Oh, golly. This came in very good. I was close. In, like, the region, at least. What did you say? Buddhist. I could map quest it. Technically, most of the… Mike, have you been to Buddha? Okay.

Did you get your passport sent by the Buddha airport? The plane tickets are outrageous. Fine. Nepalese. They're from Himalayas. Okay? Leave me alone. Sengali. Here we go. How many more? Two? Yes, two. Two. Fear not the man who fears God. Fear not the man who fears God. Secular or Solomon. Definitely not Solomon. Hey, keep your side chatter to yourself. Your prickling can be heard around the world. That sounds so unsolven that I'm going to say Solomon. Oh. Got a mistake. Secular. Secular. Put me back on for secular. I don't want to be in the Solomon camp. I'm such a sucker. My mom is so embarrassed of me. Fear not the man who fears God.

Secular or Solomon. Echo. I beg of you to say Solomon. Come with me, friend. Don't leave me here. Don't lead the sheep astray. What it is. I'm going to go with secular. Secular. Secular. Nationality. Nationality. French. The French. That's a lot of wise people coming in. Rebecca. Secular and… Botswana? Hey. You're done. I said Solomon. You're done over here. Country in Africa. Oh. I'm in the mire. Ooh. African. That's a continent. African.

Asian. You've been listening to Troy. Africanese? You're European. Africanese. All right. All right. Say African. Rousting jobber. What? You know who you are. Fine. I say secular. Africanese? No. South American. Ecuadorian. Oh. Fear not the man who fears God if you're from Saudi Arabia. Really? Yes. She's the closest. Saudi Arabia. I also had no idea they had proverbs. Secular. Here we go. Final one. You, so far, have been listening to the internet's fastest growing game show, Secular vs. Solomon. Final proverb.

Doodle-oo. Blows. Blows. Excuse me. Are you okay over there? Mm-hmm. Rousting hammer. He's texting people. I'm not texting anybody. He's texting. I think he's looking something up. Blows and wounds scrub away evil and beatings purge the inmost being. Blows and wounds scrub away evil and beatings purge the inmost being. Secular or Solomon. You're worth every dime. Every dime. Good thing you don't pay me. I tell you, I was just saying to Mike. I'm sorry, I had to run through that. I was like, come on. I was just saying to Mike the other day, I said, you know what, we wouldn't be anywhere without Kootenlouster. I love this. Kootenlouster? Kootenlouster? This is getting ridiculous. Let's go back to Spanglinger or something. Who runs Frey Lawn Care? Is it Fry?

How is it said? Elliot Frey? Is it Frey? Hey, hey. Yo, is that Elliot Frey who's mentoring at Freedom for Youth? Yo, dude. Hey, that's awesome that you're doing that tomorrow, by the way. I know where that's at. That's really cool. And I will be calling you for free lawn care so I don't have to do it tomorrow. Sorry, Dad. Here's the deal. If I had, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. My lawn is looking a little gamey. And I was thinking about sometime today that if I didn't insist on doing it myself, I might call Frey Lawn Care. Oh, this is a free advertisement. Mike, who would you call? Well, I didn't even know there was anyone else in the phone book, to be honest with you. When I opened up my phone book, that's all I see. Because I looked under quality and responsibility and fair pricing. And under that one heading, there was only one lawn care company to find. He has a slogan, all day, every day. All day, every day. The choice, the only choice, Frey Lawn Care. That's the end of it. Okay. Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.

Solomon. Solomon. Hit the kids. That's what they're saying. Sounds like he had a personal experience. Mark and Scheister. My dad used to say that to me before he got out the suspenders. Hey, the sups. Hey, man, you got on them sups? Go get the sups. Come on, Dad. Sup, son. What? That sounds so much cooler than, hey, you got your pendies? That's what Mama would say. Sweetie, do you have on your pendies? Mom. No. Sups, Mom. Sups. That just sounds like I got a list. I don't know what sups are. I say secular, and I say also, let's go Scandinavian for 300. Scandinavian. That's 300 Jiraji in the Scandinavian currency. It's okay. They'll pillage for it. Solomon. Solomon.

Solomon. Solomon. I will have to say secular and Iraqi. Secular Iraqi. Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. Proverbs 20. You have been listening to the internet's fastest growing game show. You owe me 300 to watch a year, whatever it's been said. Secular or Solomon. I'll take a check. I've got shekels. That's all. For America's fastest growing game show. Secular or Solomon. That's all it is. That's all it is. We're really not going to. Nope, that's it. You've been listening to Live from the Path on livefromthepath.org. We are here each and every Monday night from 10 to midnight. Put the kids to bed. Put the dog to sleep. Tell grandma it's time. Well, not permanently. Wait, is this grandma? Just feed him. Put the dog to sleep. It's just like, you don't say that about a dog. That means killing it.

Just feed him water. The part that got me was telling grandma it's time. Is this grandpa speaking? It's time. It's time. Listen. You do what you want at your place. Come, child. How do I want of mine? Two things. Stay away from my grandma. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what my grandma would say if you came up to her. It's time. It's like, okay. It's not creepy at all. My mom finally caught on. So, like, the running joke with my mom is that we're going to put her in a home. And she finally, she sent me a text message last night and said, okay, you know, your brother said I have to go in a home. Which one of you wants me? So, she finally got me on the nursing home to I'm coming to stay with you, which is a good way to temper that joke. Indeed. She hit me back with, that's great. I'll be there as soon as you have my room finished. I'm like, dang. Mom's getting wily in her old age. Now she really is going at home.

I got to get a second job. You can catch us during the week at livefromthepath.org. Please check it out. You can also like us on Facebook. Please do so. That thumbs up is there for a reason. All you got to do is give it one little clicksy, and it makes me feel very important. Clicksy? Clicksy. There are links to on the livefromthepath.org. You can get to previous performances. The performances from tonight will be posted there within the next 24 to 48 hours. You can catch some of the other bands that we've had on, including Jesse Anderson, Syndrome of Fire, the guys from On This Rock, Certainty. A lot of folks coming up at the Spirit Midwest Music. Saved on Sunday. Yep. Saved on Sunday. The Spirit Midwest Music Festival is coming up. That's the first week, weekend in August. And you'll see a lot of those folks that have been on the show at that festival. Hey, clear your calendar. This is going to be a pretty slick event. They've got a bouncy house. There's a bouncy castle there. Whoa. No way. Yeah. Yeah.

Solomon. I am horrified of those things. Really? Like, not for my own safety, but for the safety of everyone else in those things. Like, I keep picturing, like, the summer camp blob thing that you go flying off. Oh, yeah. I would feel so horrible if, like, 37 three-year-old children just came flying out of the side of it. It's just like… I tried to eat my lunch in there. That was a mistake. They might actually enjoy that. They might be like, Mom, this guy shot me out of this thing. Can I do that again? I'm flying. Timmy. Now, something to keep in mind is we will be doing Olympic-style coverage of that event. Life in the Path will be on site, interviewing bands, showing live performances, you know, plaid jackets, and a cheesy fireplace, the whole shebang. Yeah. We're going to town with it. And so probably a one to two handy cam operation, probably low rent. But it's going to be solid. And so we're going to try to broadcast that over our streaming channel so you can have it that. So that would be very cool. Please stop down. If you don't have anything planned for that weekend, block it off and say, that's where I'm going to be. Yeah. Do I seriously have to wear a plaid jacket? I purposely bought it two sizes too small.

You're going to look ridiculous. Are you kidding me? I'm going to go Chris Farley on this? Hello. What was that? That's him. Hello. Was it a canary? Hello. He acts so funny in the jacket. All right. So you've been listening to Live from the Path. We are in studio with Rebecca and Echo. Rebecca, how are you doing tonight? I am quite solid. Are you? Oh. You're solid. That's good. That's good. Yeah. I'm solid. I'm solid. Show enough. So you're in the middle of working on a project as well, correct? I am. Cool. Why don't you tell us a little bit about it? I have a few covers on Facebook.

My artist's name is Becca. And I actually went in the studio with Ryan Buck and a fantastic rapper named Emily Carver to work on my new single. It's called Front Door. And yeah. Is that out and about yet? Can we hear it anywhere? It's being worked on. Okay. It's taking a little bit more time. Okay. Than I thought. But I will let you guys know when it's gonna be out. Yeah. Yeah. We'd love to throw it on the show. That'd be all right. That'd be awesome. Most definitely. Cool. I like it. I like it. How about you? Any studio work, Echo? Other than the world premiere song coming on tonight. Gets you every time, doesn't it? Boy, oh boy. My left leg is shaking. Mine fell off.

That's really. I don't even have one. Can I go so I can go catch mine? Yeah. Solomon took it. I think secular took it. Secular? Cantonese? Right off of it. Also still coming up yet tonight, we are going to dole out some advice. It'll be nice to have a lady's perspective. Usually it's just a bunch of dudes. You know how us dudes get. Cackling and chatting, clucking around like a bunch of roosters. Grabbing our subs, going, what's happening? You know what you ought to do there. You know what? Don't share everything on the Twitter. Or the Facebook. I hear there's a thing called Tumblr. Yeah, so we'll be doing the premiere, the world premiere of the tune. Let's do 11-12, just like the end of the favorite Sesame Street tune. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 11-12. 11-12. You've got to do the end. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 11-12. That's it.

11-12. We're going to do the word premiere. There you go. Woo. So, and… What? What? You want in on this, Spangle Langer? In on what? Somebody looked at this and said, I'll marry that guy. What do you think of that? How does that rock you? Someone proposed marriage. I'm 19. I'm sorry, and I'm not married yet. Jeez. You don't have to rub it in. They looked at you and said, I wish that guy had some cookies. No, they look at me and say, hey, man, I got like a box on my top shelf. That guy can help me out a lot. I need to move. He looks kind of like an ox. You need some help from that man. Dude, I'm pretty sure my parents bred me to help the snuffins move like 19 times. You hear that, snuffin'? If you're watching, Ed, I've moved so many of your computers, it's ridiculous. Roustin' Holster is keeping track of how many times. Roustin' Holster now? Is that good there, Elliot?

He loves it. There we go. All right. He's very easily amused. He is. I love that. He said, Ryan, bust out a beat. And I'm like, okay. Somebody give me the P-side. It's the P-side! He's talking to me! Look at him! Like 29 current users saw me. Yes. It's hot in here. So anyway, we're doing a Dear Life in the Path where we abscond with perfectly legitimate attempts for advice on Dear Abby. And we will jump in and tell you what our advice would be. So get ready for that. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to listen to everything. We'll get another taste of Echo before we get his world premiere. Tell us a little bit about everything. Everything I did with Becca right here. We actually just remixed this song. So this is fresh for anybody who heard everything before. We just did that this past weekend. So this is very, very fresh. Thank you.

Yeah. This is also another premiere. Makes up kind of a hot DJ topic about it being very fresh. No, let Troy do that. He's a DJ. Troy? What do you want me to do? Here we go. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to introduce the cut. Okay? And then I want you to give me some sort of like radio hot track DJ something. All right. You got five seconds and I'm going to do it. All right. Next up on Live from the Path, everything with Echo featuring Becca. Eerie, eerie, eerie. Fresh. She's my pretty thing. She's a number, not a brain. Don't you see a number white? I ain't talking about her body. I'm talking about her heart. She's truly a gift for God. Want to be a man at what we all win as planned. Everything she demands will be a winner. I cater to her every need, every desire. I acquire the responsibility of treating her white. I'll spy to be a Superman and give her dreams flight.

When we have a dinner, I don't need candlelight. Cause the sparkle in her eyes, smiles and shines so bright, so bright. The way she carries herself, I gotta fall back. Cause the diamond I found is better than any treasure chest. Well, I've got the best. Boy, you were too late. This lady's mine. And I won't let anyone take her way. Cause like Vic, I gotta say she's my good thing. No need for thanks. She loves who she is. Better than a guest. And her beauty is drop dead gorgeous. I need a heart check. Cause baby, you got my heart dripping out of step. Girl, you something special. And I must confess that my composure is unstable. Cause you're leaving me in a mess. You're always so beautiful. No need to repress. Every day. I always take the Lord every day for my Wonder Woman who helps me along the way. You really get me. You fascinate my mind. You and my heart. And I'm sure you're the reason that the sun shines. Baby, don't think you're not good enough. Cause you better. You're mine.

And that's the best thing ever. You take the world's right out of me. I swear I don't even know how to speak. But I ask you to meet me at your favorite place down by the lake. You ask me why. And I can only reply that it's a secret. I know you don't like surprises, but this one is the best yet. We'll be filled with memories. Cause I made you there and dropped to a knee. I look you in the eyes and give up my everything. Baby, will you marry me? Will you be the beauty to this ugly beast? Baby, you are, you are, you are. And you are listening to Live from the Past. That was everything with Echo featuring Becca Hayden. That was great. Thank you. I dig on that one. Thank you very much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mike, what did you think about that? I went to the bathroom. You missed everything? I was singing my own tune in the bathroom. You missed everything, man. Everything. Going to the toilet. My tune was all right. It probably wasn't as good as that one, though.

You have a going to the toilet song, too? Sure. You really need to stop writing like this. Sitting on the toilet. Sitting on the toilet. Sitting on the toilet. And a flush. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's got it. I'm sorry. It's like 60 seconds of your life you will never get back. I feel like a total jackrabbit here. I have not heard this song. Watch Where's the Chapstick, too. That's hilarious. I don't know how to work the flashing box with the keyboard. Is that where you watch these things? On the computer? Oh, don't even try that. You have an iPod right there. iPod Touch. I'm sorry. I'm reading about Abihu in the Old Testament. And Nadab? I can't be bothered with whatever you're saying. Excuse me. All right. My apologies. If your name is anybody on the chat or Travis Manderfield, you are listening to Live from

the Path, broadcasting on livefromthepath.org. We are in studio with Echo and Becca. Look, great things are happening on the chat. Whoa. They love it. They're riled up. I love them. Shout out to Daniel Gibson, who remembered only hope. That was a blast from the past, man. Only hope. Oh, wow. Wow. Oh, wow. Good one, man. That was a church talent show. That's crazy. No idea. I don't know how else to get in on this thing, you know? Oh, yeah. There's like, they're reminiscing. Like, it's a family reunion, and I'm dating one of the cousins. So, like, I'm like, yeah, only hope. Oh, yeah. Definitely. That was a good time. Trying to get yourself into this guy. We went to the movies, and she paid, and that's all I do. She paid for the extra money, too. Where's the potato salad?

Who's this guy? That's not his chicken. Is that your grandma? That's your grandma. I thought I told you to put her to sleep. I thought that was a dog. It's time. Misinformed. No one tells me anything. I can just imagine me in a big cloak walking up. It's time. You said we were going to the casino. Horrifying my grandmother. She's just like, oh, my gosh. I bet he could get a box down from the refrigerator for me. He could really help me. I forgot my suspenders. Grandma, where's my pendies? This has gone downhill quickly. Do you guys like rhubarb? Sure. Yes. No. Rhubarb is terrible. A million times, though. I have rhubarb soda in my car. I don't. I'm not sure if I've ever had rhubarb. Like strawberry rhubarb.

I have rhubarb. It is fantastic. I've had rhubarb yogurt. If that. That's not. I'm going to say that. Just throwing it out here. Not really. I have spring grove soda that's rhubarb out there. In your wheels? In my wheels. Dude. I saw my Uncle Brad. Here's the deal. We're going to talk about this rhubarb thing. But first, Mike, do you know what time it is? It's 11.12. It's 11.12. Oh, snap. Which means it is time for the world premiere of Free. Yes. Featuring Chris Weaver. Featuring Chris Weaver. Is Chris Weaver around? He is not around, but I hope he's watching and listening. All right. Well, let's do it. This is the world premiere of Free by Echo. Featuring Chris Weaver on Live from the Path.

We're listening to Live from the Path. That was Echo featuring Chris Weaver. Sweet. That was sick, dude. I'm not going to lie. That was awesome. Thank you, sir. I can't keep a hold of stuff. It's coming back. I can't keep a hold of stuff. That was the whole time. That's at least a bit. It's man true. It's man true. It's man true. Live in love. I just want to buy cotton candy. But in a very forceful manner. Give me my cotton candy. Blue raspberry. Now. I just saw an eight-year-old kid with strawberry. What do you mean you're out? Thank you, Frey, sir. Oh, good morning. It's a lie from the path. Thanks for listening. Oh, man. Sweet.

I like it. That was the world premiere of Free. Yeah. The world's shocked. I'm shocked. My phone lines are blowing up. People calling me. What's that? Mine actually are. See? Actually, I don't give up my phone line. Ironically, I might not. Because I don't like when people get excited about Echo's music and then they call me. Because I don't know what to say. It's awkward. Hey, man. That guy is sweet. I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Hey, it's like 4 a.m., Ben. Echo was awesome. You didn't have any cookies. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. I was going to say, it's like, yeah. Yeah. Great publicity. Hey, can I ask you?

Do you have no-baked cookies? Do you by chance have, like, no-baked cookies? No, it's like 4 o'clock in the morning. Go to bed, Troy. Sorry. I'm just really hungry. I don't want to put you out, but you don't even have to bake or anything. You just, like, mix it. Hey, so what do you do recording at? I do them at Ryan Buck's studio. He is a fantastic producer. Does a great job on just mixing everything, making a sound right. And he also just gives really great advice on what you need to change, on what you should do better. It's a really good duo right there. Do you have a beat, man, or do you do your own beats? Um, for free and the youth, um, I had a producer named Tony Stone from Nashville, uh, do those beats, and I bought them from him. And, uh, shut it down and everything I made myself. Cool. That's awesome. Yeah. That's, I'm hoping to either get more into it myself or find, uh, local producers and beat makers who want to. Mike, Mike is an experienced beat man. Indeed. I spin the beats. Yeah. You totally use Skittles, don't you?

Huh? What's the deal? Skittles, Mike. Didn't you do that for somebody, though? Didn't you create some… Oh, this was a disaster. So I play the piano. Uh-huh. And, uh, this cat asked me, he goes, uh, uh, listen, uh, I'm a beat man, he says. And I say, okay. He goes, I want you to lay down some piano tracks for me. Uh, and then I'm gonna, I'm gonna beat-ize him or whatever he does, you know. Beat-ize. I said, okay, dude, whatever, you know. So, so he wants me to lay down, like, Beethoven something or other, and so I kind of half threw it together and put it on there, and he comes back and he, and he goes, yeah, this ain't, this ain't gonna work. And I said, well, what about it's not gonna work, you know? He goes, it's not, uh, I don't know, it's, I can't make it, I can't make it jam. I said, well, you picked the wrong song then, you know? I don't know what to tell you. I just did what you told me to do. And he goes, I'm the beat man. I spin beats. You don't know beats. And I said, I don't know beats. You don't know beats. Uh-oh. And then we weren't friends anymore.

I've never had someone call me not the beat man. Expect one less friend on your Facebook after this. I'll tell you something. Deleted. Beatmeister. You and your beats. Mike, I can just imagine you looking at this guy, why I ought to. How dare you say that to me? I don't know beats. You're a secular. My mom told me I'd run into seculars, and you're a secular. Hey, speaking of which, if you're interested at all in some Life from the Path gear, you can go to the website and click on Life from the Path gear. You can buy a Secular or Solomon t-shirt. Or just a Solomon. I'm working on it. Did you throw the sizes up there for me? No. I'm working on it. I feel like you're weightist, bro. Weightist. I know I'm a big guy. You're against the weight. It's not my fault. I'm a Sasquatch. There is some awesomeness in that weight right there. You've got to let him. I need to flourish. I'm a peacock.

You've got to let me fly. I've got a shirt for Kugelfoster. What? You've got it. Kugelfoster? Is that what you just called me? I've got it. You need to start writing these down so I know what to respond to. So anyway, you can hit Life from the Path gear on the front of lifefromthepath.org and pick up a t-shirt. There's a secular Solomon. There's a plain Solomon wife beater. You can pick up the less-haired, more Jared shirt. Yeah, I saw it. There's a lot. Then there's the donkey. The donkey. Jared's our worship pastor. Less-haired, more Jared. We thought we'd get a less-haired, more Jared shirt. He really did. And it glows in the dark. That's hip. We haven't sold any. No, no one's bought any. It glows in the dark. Oh, yeah. They're on sale for whatever it is they have them out there. Actually, I don't really need to make any money off them.

They're as low as I can get them. I just want to see people have them on. Agreed. All right, so let's do it, Mike. Someone's like begging for us to answer their advice questions. It just so turns out. So it says, Dear Live from the Path, My husband and I have been married eight years and have two children. Our marriage has had its share of ups and downs, but we always manage to survive the bad times. My problem is my husband sleeps on the couch 95% of the time instead of in our bed. He makes excuses such as, He fell asleep watching TV, or the kids were sleeping in our bed, even when they weren't. He even goes to sleep on the couch after we've had relations. I don't feel like, I edited that. I don't feel like sleeping by myself every night, and I have tried to explain how upsetting this is to me. My little girl has even asked why daddy sleeps on the couch. Any suggestions? Musseldorfer? Relations? Question mark. Relations? Would you like us to really describe it more? It's when a man and a woman hold hands.

And then they pray. That's it. And then a stoop comes. And then there's blackout. We don't know what happened after that. Where are you at on this, Troy? Where am I at? What's your advice to this lady? Put the couch in the bedroom. That's awesome. Put the couch in the bedroom. That is a great idea. And then a TV there, too. I agree with that 100%. That is a great idea. You just give him an Xbox and a couch in the bedroom, he'll be sleeping right next to you. You know, you kind of got me into when you said that he would say that the kids were sleeping in the bed when they weren't. At first, I was like, oh, that's understandable. He fell asleep watching TV, and then the kids were in the bed, and then they weren't in the bed. That's when it kind of just went like, oh, I had great advice to nope. So I'm going to say, hey, Mike, what do you think about this? This situation for this woman, how would you? A classic deflection. That's me completely passing the buck on that. Just throwing that out there. On questions like this, I should be the last guy to come to because I always give a fiery retort on what I think of this guy. Yeah, yeah. He's going to be in trouble.

Echo, what do you got? What is your recommendation here? Echo, help me, they say. Hey, my man's on the couch. Here's what I've learned. If you have problems with someone and you're trying to deal with them, always what I suggest is go to them and talk about these problems. Meet face-to-face with them. Just go talk to them. I like his style. Talk to them and be honest with them. You're on the couch. I'm in the bed. What's going on? The kids are not in the bed. No monkeys in the bed. Not anymore. That's awesome. They were there. They fell off one by one. There were six. No, there's none. Roll over. Yes. Okay. Anyways. But yeah, be honest with them. See what he says. See if he's trying to go on to a different subject or if he's really, he didn't realize it and he's just made a blunder. So, that's the advice I got.

He's a coward. Here comes Mike with the fiery fist. Well, hold on a minute. Becca, did you have any? Oh yeah, let's get the one there. Don't avoid the situation, I guess. Don't push it under the rug. And maybe she snores. Yeah. That's an extremely odd point. Maybe she snores and she doesn't know it. One of the questions on the chat was, how does she look and smell? So, you know. The answer is just the same as when you married her. Yeah. You coward. All right, Mike. Go ahead. This irritates me here. Now, listen. There's probably extenuating circumstances that I could really care less about. Frankly, the man married a woman and he fathered two children. Here's the thing. I know and love my kids enough that if they're sleeping in my bed and I don't want them there, I wake them up, move them, say I love you, sweetie, and put them in their own bed. And then I sleep next to my wife who I love. That's it. That's the deal. He's a coward. And whatever he's hiding from, there's no excuse for the way he's acting.

Because to the extent that he's sleeping on the couch and she's wondering what's going on, that means he's a coward. That's right. Because if there had been a legitimate reason, like he could have said, look, honey, I love you, but you snore like a Kodiak bear. I got to be at work at 530. I'm going to go sleep in the kid's room or I'll sleep here until like 3 and then I'll get up and move to the living room or something. Then, you know, here's the reason. Here's why I'm on the couch. If he wasn't a coward, his wife would know the answer to this already. He's a coward. He may need to shut it down. He's embarrassing. This table just took a lot of damage from that package. Just throwing that out there. Maybe she's a nag. Okay, once again, as head of the marriage covenant, he needs to do something about that too. Coward number two. If there's a problem in your marriage that you're not working on fixing, then you're a coward there too. It's your job to run this ship, friend, and if you're going to hide in the living room away from your wife and kids, then you're not doing your job. That's pretty lame. Here's the deal. If she said, look, we've had our problems and we've discussed it and we can't work it out and he sleeps on the couch as a reprieve for me, that's different than her not knowing what's going on and he's sleeping on the couch. Right. Unless she's completely lying and has no idea and knows the exact reason. Marriage counseling. We are the marriage counseling. No, that's it. We are the answers to all questions. If people are willing to ask questions of some 2D woman in the newspaper, then we're just as good. We're live and in person.

She's just a picture. A picture and letters. All right, so what was her response? Okay, hold on. Dear Abby, Abby said, yes, have you asked your husband why he's not in bed with you anymore? Your statement that he leaves for the couch after you've had relations could indeed indicate that one or both of you may have a sleeping disorder that prevents him from getting enough rest. But you'll never find out unless you can get him to level with you about what the problem is. That's a joke. That's an absolute joke. That is not the answer. You're on fire. Yeah, he is on fire. He's ready to explode. Hey, I'm sitting here listening. Vent, my friend. I'm just saying, if either one of them have a sleeping disorder, if his wife has a sleeping disorder, then he needs to talk to his wife about it. If he has a sleeping disorder, then his wife wouldn't wonder why he's on the couch. He just said, I have a sleeping disorder. That's it. If there was truth to be told there, it would have been told already. He's a jerk. He's a coward. He's a coward. He might not be a jerk. He might just be a coward. So are you wanting to go up to this guy? Why are you order? Why are you order? I'm just telling you.

He needs help. I can't stop thinking about it. Sleeping disorder does seem lame. See, I'm just saying. Supportive wife. I don't know. Like, if she sounded like Chewbacca, just throwing that out there, we talked about that, and he made the noise even. I don't know. Who did? I don't know. Echo did. All right, Mike, what else we got? Who else is beckoning at the door for our insightful advice? Okay. Dear Life on the Path, my darling wife died not long ago. I'm still grieving. Please tell me what to do when women show up as if I'm available to date. They're not shy. I'm not interested in anyone, especially since my wife just passed away. I'm still emotionally attached to her, and I don't want that feeling to fade. Abby, these women are forward and aggressive. I can't believe how some of them dress. I miss my wife. I truly loved her and continue to do so. I know in time I'll meet someone, but I'm not ready to jump out there because my heart still belongs to my wife. I welcome your advice, Abby. Oh. That's sad, isn't it? Oh, yeah.

Isn't it? That's really sad. I wonder how long he's been married. I'm sure they were sleeping in the same bed, too. I'm sure they were, too. Yeah. You don't see him chicken-heartening out on the couch for 30 years. He says, I love my wife. I don't want to be attacked by these crazy, aggressive hooch-parlor women. I don't understand why they're coming out of the woodwork here. So let me ask you this. Is he saying he's worried about offending these women or how he just stops it entirely? I think he's worried about offending them. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. In that way, let me jump on this one, considering the fact that it's his feelings that he needs to worry about. It's his emotional duress that he needs to worry about because he's the one who just lost someone. Yeah. Whether or not you're offending someone or not, you're the one in emotional duress who should not be worried about the other person. Listen, this coming from, like, I understand, I obviously didn't lose my wife, but you guys know what's going on. Yeah. You know, it's something to the point that he needs to take care of, number one, first. And then worry about all these women who are just throwing themselves at him. And unless he's like, this is like the only dude they talk to, I don't think they're really going to be that offended. If he just says, hey. That's true. It's not his job to counsel them through whatever midlife crisis they're going to. Echo. I just got to say this, whether you're female or male, the male should be pursuing the girl in any case anyway. So I'd have to say right now that he should just, like, someone said, I can't remember who on there said, show them the front door.

Show them the door. Kick them out because if they're pursuing you already, they're not going to be worth it in the end. Yeah. They're going to be waiting. That's extremely true. The person who's supposed to be for you is going to wait in the end. And I'm really sorry that this person lost their wife, though. Yeah. Yeah, that's rough, isn't it? I like that. Stop being a coward and tell them to go away. I'm with that as well. I kind of dig on that advice. I don't know if I'd go as far as saying stop being a coward. Why? Grab it for what it is. Okay, obviously the guy's under emotional duress, like I just said. He's distraught. You don't want to tell them, hey, man, you're a coward. Just tell these women leave you alone. No, you don't. Now's not the time to lie to him. What? If he's a coward, you best say so. No, I'm not going to say he's a coward. Word of the night, coward. Here's the thing. If you remain on the show, you're a coward. That's it.

That's how it goes. If I remain on the show, I'm a coward? No, if there's a man that writes into Life from the Path, if it's either about a man or from a man, you're a coward. He's a coward. That's how it ends up being. It doesn't matter what the question is. That'll be my answer. You guys. I'm just saying. I can almost guarantee that's how it's going to go. PC, you guys are 100% sexist then. What do you mean? All dudes that write to the show are cowards? No, all dudes that can't carry their own responsibility are cowards. AKA writing the show? Not, yeah. Yeah, probably. Yes, I would agree. Which is what you're saying. So every dude who writes this show is a coward. I'm on this show and I'm a coward. I fit the bill. I'm the exact same as the rest of these guys. If we're going to talk like that, to some degree, every person on this planet is a coward. There you go. Oh, the show has been figured out. We can get the airwaves. Okay, here's the answer to every single person who ever tries to write into this.

From now on, we just say, you're a coward. Get over it and be done. Yep, you're a coward. Love your wife. Love your kids. Do what God tells you to do. That's it. Those are the only three things you need to know. Oh, so you've got it 100% together. That's it. That's all there is. I think there's definitely different dimensions to everything. Yeah, exactly. Not every dude is going to be a coward. We're going to have to talk about it. Maybe he's not here because he guessed, but he's pretty wishy-washy. I see that. He might be a coward. Did you guys say that about me last week? I'm pretty sure y'all called me a coward last week. If I didn't, I meant to. I know you did. Sorry, Becca, what do you think? Oh, what does the girl think? Oh, here we go. Well, first of all, I want to say I sympathize for this man. I feel really bad for him. But there is a time when you need to step up and be firm and say no. And I think that's when you need to do this.

And I think it's good that you're taking the time to get over your wife instead of just saying, oh, I'm okay, you know, putting on that face. I think it's good that you're internally, like, searching for help with this. So, yeah. It's cool that he opened up. So are you going to the extent of calling him a coward, though? That's basically what she said. Maybe. It's pretty much the same thing. Be firm and do not be a coward are two different levels, I think. Pretty much, yeah. Yeah. Obviously not. Never mind. Yes. I'll shut up from now on. Yes. All right, Mike, what was the other advice that was given? Okay. Don't be a coward. I'm sure Abby's advice is going to be a little less. Softer. Rough. Here. Hold on a second. I moved it. I was checking something else. Let's see. Who's this gang of estrogen ladies who are, like, pounding down the door?

What? Do you think they know? Do you think they already know, these ladies? Oh, that'd be even more messed up, man. Do you think these old ladies already, like, they have to be on the prowl. Ladies live longer than dudes, right? So do you think ladies, old ladies, are searching the obituaries looking for an open dude? No. Dang. Is sure? There might be some. There might be a couple. Is there, like, a sociological conspiracy theory? That was a lot of big words. Don't admit. Is that a social conspiracy theory? I'm not saying that I do this. Old women search the obituaries looking for younger men that have just lost a wife. It's possible. It's not possible. There's some crazy stuff going on out there. June to the third degree. I'm just saying that. How did he describe it? Do you still have his description of the ladies that come to his place? Actually, here's the answer. Okay. It says, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved wife. Because you wrote to me in longhand, rather than via the internet, he wrote out a solid letter.

I love this man. That is awesome. He loves his wife. He writes it with a regular pen and paper. I love this guy. I'm assuming you're an older gentleman. That was kind of mean. Available men in your demographic are hard to find, which is probably why you're under siege by the casserole brigade. Hello! Actually, it's a compliment that they're lining up. However, because you're not ready to move in that direction, politely tell the women you prefer to be left alone right now to sort out your feelings. And if anything changes, you will let them know. P.S. Put on your big boy pants and send them ladies packing, you coward. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Yep. Ah. Abby. Abby says what you want. Abby. Dang. Actually, let me see that. Okay, her quote ended at, and if anything changes, you will let them know. Period. I knew it. Oh. Which one, though? What?

All of them? All of them at once. Tell all the ladies. Ladies gather. I'm just standing at his front floor. Bring your no big cookies. No big cookies. Let's take the casseroles. All right, now you all leave. I'm not going to lie. The casserole brigade made my night. What is it? Like, that he called it, or that she called it the casserole brigade. Let me ask you this. Is it wrong to accept a casserole from a woman that you don't have any romantic interest in? No. Well. Well. No? Can you please repeat the question? That's a good question. What's? Is it? Hold on now. Now, are you having me repeat it just so you can come back with some kind of fierceness at me? I saw you. You said, yeah, repeat it, and then you're like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He was the one who said repeat it.

You're just jumping on the bandwagon. Sure. Here's the deal. Go on. Is it okay to accept a casserole from a woman that you have no romantic attraction to? Maybe with an exclamation point. I love it. Maybe. No, not wrong? I don't know. Everyone brings casseroles. What's the intention of the casserole? Well, first of all, let me ask the casserole. What are your intentions? What are you about? What is the woman's intention with the casserole? Can I see the ingredients? I can't imagine someone handing a casserole like, hello. I baked this casserole for you. Because you can't imagine. These are the same women that are at his door in high heels and an evening coat because his wife had just passed away. An evening coat. I'm just going off the generality of what's the tendency, what is the intention of giving the casserole? Is it like, hey, you know what? You're probably in a bad emotional state. You probably don't want to cook. So here's a casserole.

Here's a meal suited for 50? That's not a one-man meal. You're not. They're trying to get invited in to have some of this casserole. Wait, wait, wait. Isn't a way to a man's heart through food, too? Don't they say that? Uh-oh. Solomon. Okay. Solomon. Okay. So maybe she has intentions. Maybe her intentions are bad. I guess for me, honestly, I would accept a casserole if I were only eating it with myself. Now, if she wanted to come in, I would be like, you gave me this casserole. Goodbye, bye, bye. No. That's the truth. If you're attracted to the woman, no. If the woman's attracted to you, no. If you have a problem being attracted to strange women, no. If you can answer no to all, if you can answer that, none of those three situations apply to you, take the casserole. Yeah. I agree. If any of those three situations apply to you, you better not answer it. Can we write out a rule book of accepting casseroles now? I feel like this should be typed out.

Okay. I guess, I'm sorry. I should rescind what I said earlier. When it comes to casseroles, you're okay to cower it in your house and not answer the door. What if it's a really good casserole and you're hungry? What if she can see you? Close your blinds, you creeper. You got a creeper in your own place. You can look out your own window. Now, if she is creeping on you eating that casserole, then I would say throw the casserole out. Yeah, that's true. She wants to watch. She's just like, I'd love to see you eat it. Eat the casserole. If she calls two minutes later, did you take a bite of it yet? She like brings out an extra fork. I can imagine her just grabbing another dish like, this is what you do. Okay. This is how you eat with a broken heart. Here's where I'm going to put the line right here. If she gives it to you in a permanent dish, you have to turn it down because she's setting up a second meeting. If she gives it to you on a paper plate or some Tupperware that you know that you get to keep, then you can take it because you don't have to meet with her again. She's a sly boots. Huh? She plays dirty pool and you don't want anything to do with it.

I agree with it. Okay. Okay. So rule number four. I didn't type fast enough. Permanent container. No way. Tupperware like Chinette. We're good. Can you hold the casserole that's in this dish while I examine this Tupperware? I can just tear it down. Hello. I brought you a casserole. What's it in? Just cut the subtle trees. Stoneware? Be gone, woman. Be gone with you. Can I do evil temptress? Can I ask the casserole some questions? Before I accept it. So, what are your intentions with my stomach? Leave the casserole. See, I think rule number five should be if she describes what's in the casserole in a weird way. No way. She's like, she's just weird anyway. It's got green beans. For you.

And… Because they're like your eyes. Yes. Green. Hello. You revving a shroom. Tater tots go great with a broken heart. If she brought dessert. Oh. Oh, now we're getting tricky. We're getting into like bylaws now. This is… Amendments and everything. This is ridiculous. That is the glass dish on your front porch. I like that. That is… Oh, that's so horribly like heartbreaking to the woman though. And then she brings it with a six pack of what? I think it's booze. It's Aunt Jemima. It's Aunt Jemima syrup. Here you go. It's a pancake casserole. It's got eggs and sausage. It's a smiley pancake. Dude, if it's got the smiley and like a heart in it, it's like no. Boy, you women are the devil. It's like…

Thank you. The bacon heart. Okay, personally, if I ever saw like a breakfast casserole with like a bacon heart, I would love that woman forever. Just throwing it out there. I truly believe that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. As you can tell, my mama loved me a lot. Troy, get that box of pancakes out of the fridge. Yes, mama. Yes, mama. We having good cheese today. Uh-oh, someone's thinking about it. Pancake casserole. Oh, dessert me up a dish and some plastic. If you want the recipe. That's man. Whoever this is, if you want the recipe, I can get it for you. My dad made it for church once. Whoa. Yep, my dad made a breakfast casserole. Then you give me the recipe since we're men. Done. Yeah. We're men. On a piece of paper. And then I will give it to my sister. And I'm going to leave it. I am not a man. I'm going to long hand it so I can just give it straight to the recipe.

What about that? What if they give you a recipe with a heart at the bottom? What if it's written in glitter? You don't know that they wrote that. That's true. It looks like it's written by a 12-year-old girl for Valentine's Day in her elementary school. He said they're aggressive. They don't seem to be underhanded. French toast with Krispy Kreme donuts. That sounds amazing. Actually get a donut with maple cream on it with bacon bits. I'm pretty sure that Chad is ignoring us and just talking about their own favorite foods now. Well, if they are, I don't care. I was going to say, now it's become food court. Now, hold on. Talk to Shelly Carson about anything bacon. I think that's totally fair, though. Like, breakfast is a pretty entertaining meal. It is. It really is. I like this Krispy Kreme donuts and French toast. Can you bring some into the studio? You ever had Toad and Holes? What is it? Toad and Holes. Toad and Holes. Yeah, Toad and Holes. It's one of my mom's favorite thing to cook. Bacon cookies.

Bacon cookies are delicious and bacon chocolate is amazing. Bacon chocolate? Bacon chocolate. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. My dad was bacon alike. Miles is drooling. I know, right? I'm hungry. It's bacon. Bacon brownies. Bacon? Okay, that's something I've never heard of. That's a little different. But maple donuts, like maple long johns with bacon bits on them are delicious. Oh, I did have one of those. Somebody brought some into work. Well, think about it. It's sweet and salty. Yeah. I like it. Your palate's just like, wow. It's from the state fair. Yep, can try it. You've been listening to the Food Network's Breakfast. I'm Guy Fieri. Breakfast with babes that are trying to come to your door. Do not accept glassware. You didn't let me finish. I'm sorry.

Breakfast with babes that are bringing casserole to your door after your wife has unfortunately passed away. We only have one episode. I was going to say. On the Food Network. The demographic is extremely small. Three dudes that are just like, are going to watch the show. You've been listening to Live from the Path. Thanks for being with us here tonight. We really appreciate it. We've got another 15 minutes. So don't go anywhere. The best is yet to come. Mike, do we have more advice? No, that's it. No, that's it. I didn't read ahead to see what the other ones were. Oh. I got two. Okay. That's a bum diggity. I got fired up on that coward thing. So I used everything I had. Then we got fired up. Thank you. We have some special guests in the studio tonight. We've been talking with Echo and Rebecca. If you missed it, it was the world premiere of Echo's brand new cut, Free. It was excellent.

Thank you. Thank you. It was well received by a very hyped up chat. It was indeed. Which, by the way, should be on iTunes tomorrow. If not, by tonight. So yeah. That's also another. On iTunes, they just search for Free. Free. By Echo. By Echo. And it'll be out there. Yeah. Do you know what it's going to cost? Do you put a big price on it? $0.99. That's going to be $8? $0.99. You can send $7 to me. $7 to us. I knew that was coming. I'm not predictable. Okay. Good. Cool. So you can go to iTunes. You can pick that up for $0.99. Or Amazon MP3.

It's a summer classic. Indeed. It's going to rock the airwaves. It's going to be sweet. Yeah. We're actually planning a music video to that as well, hopefully. Do you have any ideas on what you're going to do? Yes, I do. Oh, man. It's cool. The first four lines of the song are, things have been rough today, so you pull out a cigarette. We're going to have someone who's dealing with nicotine addictions. Can I be in the video? Yeah, I was going to say. Sure. Can I be the smoker? Yeah. Hey, dude. Whoa. Whoa. Why are you jumping in my zone? Can me and Troy smoke together? No. That's horrible. Go on. I want to hear the rest. And you wish you could look away. Okay, but you hunger for the rest, porn addictions. Standing in front of the mirror, wishing those cuts would disappear.

Someone who's dealing with cutting. And then the last one, broken with tears, now relationships are one of your fears. Someone who's been dealing with broken relationships and not finding godly lust. I definitely want to be the smoker. Those four people will be in this music video. Wow. Like, not even kidding. Those are really, really sick lyrics. Those are awesome. You can be one of the other guys. I'll be the smoker. The broken relationship guy in the form and the cutter. Those don't sound… So they're all 3D, is that what you're saying? I'll be the smoker. It's just like, oh my gosh. This guy really needs to get his life together. He needs Jesus. He's like, so weird. He really needs to be free. This is the worst day. Yeah, this guy needs a lot of freedom here. It's like, wow. Oh, man. You're making me look horrible, Mike. I'm sorry. I'm just saying you could be one of those three guys. I just… I don't want to…

I'll just be the smoker. Well, hey, and that picture was pretty cool. Like, that was taken… Where was that picture taken of you? That was downtown. By me. Right. Did you take that? Yeah, by her, yes. That's cool looking. Yeah, she did a good job. That was downtown, overlooking the city from the capital. Nice. He's wearing some nice shorts. Mike, tell us about the shorts that you have on. That's so creepy. He's wearing some nice shorts. At least he didn't say pendies. He's wearing his pendies and his shorts. There's nothing I can do about how you heard that. Just because your ears have some kind of creep filter in them, so when something comes in, it sounds creepy. I'm sorry, Ben. I can't help it. You just sound creepy. You look hip. Hey, man. Oh, man. The chat's decided you look hip.

The chat said that your shirt looks like something that Dan would wear. They're talking about my shirt. Yeah, they're talking about your shirt. Yeah. Yeah. Did you get that from Dan? No, I bought this on… We were trying to mock Jared, Dan. Dan, that's it. Call it. Everybody looked like the worship guy, so we all went and bought clothes and stuff to try to dress like Jared, and this was my Jared shirt. He's not going to be happy that it was unfavorably compared to Dan. The toilet store? Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Seriously, Anchorman? That's awesome. That's a magic toilet. Yeah, I got to say my shirt was from an awesome friend, so I have no idea where it's from. All right. You stole it from somebody? No, someone gave it to me for my birthday. Oh. They gave you a used shirt? No. Not a used shirt? Who are these friends? Happy birthday.

Now we need to start talking about giving shirts. You know what, dude? I would give you the shirt off my back. As a matter of fact, I'm going to do it. Happy birthday. There you go. I just thought of it right now. I forgot your birthday. I forgot to give you a gift. It's like… It's like… I forgot. All right, come on. I threw a little Old Spice. There's Old Spice on there. Like that one, guys? Look at your man. Now look at me. Oh, man. That's awesome. You are listening to Live from the Path. We are broadcasting tonight and every Monday night from 10 to midnight on livefromthepath.org. You can catch us during the week at that channel. You can get clips on the YouTube, including the clips from tonight's performances. So we're going to get the live performance from the youth as well as… Well, we'll do the live performance from the youth. And we'll talk about this free business because I really don't want to be giving you the tune for free. I want you to go buy it. Agreed.

Yeah. Agreed. Well, you could go listen to it. You could go listen to it. So it's going to cost you $8. You're going to send me $7. $7. $7.01 coming to us. $7.01 to Live from the Path. As a matter of fact, if you go buy the More Herod, Less Jared shirt, or Less Herod, More Jared shirt from Live from the Path, or the Solomon beater, I think you'll do it. The sleeveless Solomon. You can still get me one of the smaller sizes. I'm going to work on it. Maybe we'll hook that up. Maybe we'll do like a get a free song if you buy. Yeah. We should hook that up. That would be hip. In fact, yeah, I'll go in there and just overcharge by a buck. Well, there you go. And I'll just shoot you a dollar. This is a good idea. This is a good idea. I love when we're talking about our marketing skills and strategies on air. It's like, you know what we can really do to get these people's money. Oh, wait. Oh, sorry. So just a heads up.

I will be gouging you for an extra dollar. If you see the price increase, you know why. By the way, if you want to learn more about Echo, there's a ton of the place you can check him out. You can sign up for his. He's on the Twitter. You can get him on Twitter. You can find him on Facebook. You can also get a hold of him through Weaver Nation. There's a lot of actors out there, so make sure you find the right guy. How do you know which one he is? Describe yourself for everyone. He's the one with a hip-hop picture and hip-hop genre, and apparently the cool one. So. Love it. Love it. Yeah. Just people being people. Mike, let me ask. Have you seen the picture, Mike? I haven't. Okay, I'm going to see if I can find it, and then you tell me, based upon the picture, what you think he is saying, or thinking in his mind. Okay, I'm ready. Well, it's going to take a minute. Talk amongst yourself. Okay. So, about this marketing strategy. When you said talk amongst yourselves, I can't stop thinking about coffee talk.

Coffee talk with my bed, boy. Coffee talk. Barbara, she's like, butter. I'm sorry. Old Saturday Night Live skit. I can't help it. Oh, Saturday Night Live. Now that's awesome. Indeed. So, Mike, how was work today? What? Are you serious? You want me to follow up after that Saturday Night Live ripoff? Just imagine you done? Just imagine Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, and full-on… Ooh, Mario. I can't do it. Hey, speaking of Mario, have you seen that game where they have all the old school Nintendo characters playing Super Mario? So, like, you could pick to be the guy from Metroid or from Zelda, and then you play the Mario levels? So, it's like Super Smash Bros, but Mario? I don't even know what that is. I was going to say. I was thinking Super Smash Bros. Yeah, I was thinking Super Smash Bros. What is that? What? Although…

Yeah, Jungle Book, Jungle Book, whatever. Super Smash Bros. is all the old Nintendo characters in a big, like, Mortal Kombat-type fight. No, it's nothing like that. Okay, all right, here we go. Oh, here's a couple pictures. Okay, that's him right there. Mike, what is he thinking? Uh, I wonder if that guy's driving my boat. Is that my boat? Dude, I think that's my boat. Okay, all right, hold on. Hold on a second. How about this one? Uh, hang on a minute. This may be the casserole question. Actually, I thought it was… What kind of wall is he standing out there against? And then he's going, you know what, dude, that is definitely my boat. As soon as his picture's over, I'm going to go talk to that guy. I'm going to meet that boat. Seriously. That boat is so mine. It was freaking cold out. Hold on, hold on. Oh, here we go. What about that one? That's what I get. I told you. It was coming out.

Mike. What? What is he thinking? Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hangin' tough. Dude, was that really what you were thinking? Are you sitting on a roof of a house? Yes. Okay. That's actually on top of the boat. That's actually on top of my house. It's a boat with gutters. It's so big it needs its own gutters. That's a boat. Subcleaning. Rebecca, did you take that picture? I actually didn't. Who did take that picture, Mike? Brie did, and I think she's actually watching right now. Yeah, she's been on. Brie, that was an awesome picture. Good job. Yeah, she's my older sister. I love it. All right. Anyway, so you can find him on ReverbNation.com. You can check him out. What's going on, fellas? We were doing a… We were doing a silent…

Yeah, sign language conversation real quick. It's a radio show. What's up? What do you know about life? Well, it's a board game. And a PlayStation 2 game. Oh, and a computer game. It's so many games. Life is one big game. Go to the serpent. Go to the serpent. That game has got to be terrible. It's actually kind of funny. They're like bobbleheads. Their head's like five times their body size. They're like this the whole entire time. Yeah. Oh, man. The head is bigger than the car. They're cruising to good music. Mike, you got… What are you talking about? Some kind of Old Testament business? Oh, right. We were going to talk about this. So, here's the deal. As I was in Leviticus this week, you'll notice this if you pattern, if you watch the show from week to week, which is very unlikely, but if you do, I'm in an LTG where we go through like 20 chapters of the Bible every week, 30 chapters, supposed to, and anyway, about

every week I read the chapters I'm supposed to, and I come up with like some new crazy thing that I think is the be-all end-all. And so, we happen to have started, gotten through the New Testament, and now we've made our way to Leviticus. So, we're just going to hit Leviticus real quick. There's something that I thought was really interesting. It said, it was just after the Lord had got done, the Egyptians got out, the Egyptians, the Israelites got out of Egypt, and the Lord, freedom, walked through the desert, got them to where they needed to be, and then he spent 40 days and 40 nights telling Moses how things were going to happen, how the sacrifice is going to work for atonement, how they're going to live life, what's allowed, what you can eat, what you can't eat, all this jazz, okay? So, God says, here's the deal. I want you to do sacrifices like this. Aaron, who would be Moses' brother, has a couple boys, and they go through the sacrifice thing and kind of get them fired up, and Aaron's boys thought they would help, and they did it wrong. They didn't do what God had asked them to do, and they didn't do it in the exact way that God had laid out for them, and God killed them, smoked them, set fire down, burn them up, that was it, and it's a huge deal, and the line in, the verse that I really liked about it was in Leviticus 10.10, it's because you see God do something like this, and you go, man, that's a bit strong, isn't it, you know, that you've got to kill somebody, you know, just because they started a fire, you didn't tell them to start or whatever, and the thing is, is the verse that applies to it is at Leviticus 10.10, and it says, you must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean, and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given you through Moses, and what this reminded me of is that when you're going to follow Christ, you're going to do it on purpose. It's not something that's going to come on accident. Just by you attending church, showing up at youth group, or showing up at your midweek

class, and, you know, being around people who love Christ, it's not going to change for you. You have to be able to discern between the common and the holy, because that's how you know the difference, and that's how God knows the difference between you and everybody else, is because the holy is the set apart, and that's you. And I was thinking about it on my way here today, is the, it amazes me the agreement that the Lord has entered us into, you know, like, for some reason I likened it to go and buy a new car, like, I show up to buy a new car, and I say, I'd like to buy this car, and they say, well, we're going to have to pull your credit, and we're going to have to look at your finances, and we're going to look at your driving record, and it's terrible. They have no business giving me a car, and they say, you know what, you're qualified. We're going to give you a brand new car. All the bells and whistles, everything. I'm like, oh, great. You know, how much is that going to cost? And he says, nothing. It's free. I said, no financing or nothing? He says, no, it's yours. He says, but I got some rules. I want you to keep it clean, and I want you to drive it nice. I want people to look at it and say, where'd you get that car from? I want to know. And I say, well, you know, what if someone runs into me, you know? And he says, well, we'll fix that. No problem. I said, what if I break it on purpose? What if I crash it? And he says, well, I tell you what, don't try to fix it yourself.

Don't take it to someone else to fix. Bring it back to me, and I'll fix it. But that car stays here, and that car will run forever because I gave it to you, and it's my gift to you. The car is salvation. The car is your relationship with Christ. It's free, and all you have to do is remember that he wants you to keep it clean so people look at you and say, where'd you get that life from? I got it from Jesus. That's where I got it. And it's free to you, and you can use it, and it'll run forever for you even when you wreck it or someone tries to take it from you. I'll fix it. Just bring it back to me. As long as you don't bring it somewhere else, don't take it to your mom. Don't take it to your dad. Don't take it to your buddy. Don't take it to Oprah. Don't take it to Abby. Bring it back to me. I'll fix it because it's my car. And it just seems to be a huge deal to me when you're really trying to figure out where your brass tacks are of where your walk with Christ is. Can you look at your life and say, I am the difference between common and holy because Jesus is the difference between common and holy, and I'm walking with God, and that's it. And that's what I got out of our reading this week, and it was in Leviticus 10. Dude. That was awesome.

That was great. Solid. Are we going to fist bump? If you want to. Let's put it all around. Boom. Are we doing like cross table fist bumping and everything? Yeah. This is really cool. I generally don't touch people. Ben's like, oh, no. No. What happens? Squirts out some of the chair backs. Yeah. I like it. I like the thought of, I'm going to give this to you. You keep it clean. And then if you don't, I'm going to kill you. And if you don't, I'm going to take the car and I'll kill you. You can't, I call the loan due when it's my turn to call the loan due. Oh, I had another example there about the maintenance, and I forgot to, dang, I had it in there. I was going to say, look, what if I have maintenance troubles with it? And Jesus, aka the salesman, says, you won't. It runs fine. There's nothing wrong. I love it. Dang.

Anyway, I thought that was a solid example. I think it relates easier, because sometimes you've got to put God's stuff in a box that you can handle. It doesn't make God's stuff any less holy. It makes you an idiot. And you've got to put it in your own idiot box so you can get it. And I have to do that a lot. I have to take what God has said and put it in my little viewing box so I can understand it, because then I can expound on it. I can't grasp half the stuff that he says outright. I've got to break it down to my level. I agree. Indeed. You have a listen to Live from the Path on livefromthepath.org.
