Deireadh ag breandán Ó Grifín le Dáil Éireann agus é sásta go ndein sé dhícheal le linn a thréimhse mar Theachta Dála. Díomá air nár eirigh leis breis leapacha a oscailt in Oispidéal Pobail Chorca Dhuibhne, agus go bhfuil fadhb fós le cúrsaí pleanála sa Ghaeltacht.

This week in the news: Sea of Thieves' latest update has been semi-rolled back as a few of the new features had to be disabled. Overwatch 2 is leaning into what people liked about the original Overwatch. Sony canned the studio responsible for Concord. The "devs" behind The Day Before just scrapped one Kickstarter and announced a new game at the same time. And of course people have leaked details of the Nintendo MMO playtest. Chicken and Grif just returned from vacation but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of gaming sessions to talk about! Lethal Company silliness, Silent Hill combat discussions, & scary school staff all get fun stories! All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Bloober Team has announced a new game hot on the heels of their Silent Hill 2 launch. Nintendo is testing out *something* for the Switch in an online capacity, but they don't want their testers to say what. 343 Studios has changed their name to Halo Studios and dropped their Slipstream Engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5 for the next Halo game(s). And a former Playstation exec argues that there's a lack of creativity in the industry. Is he right? And yes, Grif will indeed talk A LOT about Silent Hill, but she'll keep it pretty spoiler free. Chicken's adding his own difficulty modifier to his playthrough. And Baka is back on his GTA V addiction.

We're back! After an unintentional month hiatus, it's time to get back to it! In the news: Was Bobby Kotick actually right about something? Does it negate all of his absolutely terrible decisions? (Spoiler: it does not. At all.) Unity had a change of heart (after a swift change of CEO). Concord's downfall was being too positive? And Nintendo is finally getting around to suing the creators of Palworld. Will their suit hold up in court? It's been four weeks, has anyone found anything new to play? Grif's all hyped up about Silent Hill 2. Oak is making waves with Valheim mods. Is Deadlock the next new thing? All this and much more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Baka survived the circus. The Borderlands movie is doing about as well as everyone with a connection to reality assumed it would. Tango Gameworks has a new home after being cut loose by Microsoft. Steam might be getting a better review system. Castlevania is coming to Dead by Daylight. Two games based around John Carpenter's Halloween are on the way (and one about Ash vs Evil Dead!). And good lort, get the popcorn and a comfy blanket, someone let Grif talk about Dragon Age. As for what everyone's been playing: Oak enjoyed Thank Goodness You're Here this week. And everyone's still full tilt into 7 Days to Die.

This week in the news: Chicken's faith in another Darksiders game has finally paid off! While it was just a teaser, there was an announcement and he feels SO vindicated. Blizzard is moving some of their King staff over to make AA games based on existing franchises. Big layoffs hit Bungie but the CEO seems to be just fine. And Steam tweaked it's demo settings. On the gaming front: Chicken, Grif, & Baka (who is away at a Circus for this show) are really getting into 7 Days to Die now that it's hit full release. And the group can not get enough of Lethal Company as well! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: SGDQ started and Chicken failed to remind everyone! Exoprimal is nearing extinction. Capcom shares more RE info. Ubisoft is being extra slow on movies and extra fast on AI usage. Also slow on announcing/working on some much requested remakes. Nintendo's not jumping on the AI train so quickly, though. And the new Dragon Age is offering a death-free difficulty which sparks conversation on what constitutes a difficulty curve in a game. As for what everyone has been playing, well it's all over the place! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week in the news: Nintendo Direct had quite a few titles to discuss. Elden Ring's new DLC is getting some heavy criticisms. And Paradox canceled their upcoming Sims-like then immediately closed the studio. Grif, Baka, & Chicken started up a group run of Baldur's Gate 3. The whole team checked out a new (to them) ghost game. And Grif is baffled by some of the things in Immortals of Aveum. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Oak's out and sometimes Baka's mic gets weird. Sorry in advance for that last one. In the news: The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is off to a rough start. WB's MultiVersus fighter is back and launching in May. Capcom is giving everyone a raise. Tim Sweeny was a jerk in an email and someone replied with the classic "U Mad Bro". The next Mario Bros movie will be out in 2026. And SAG-AFTRA is considering a strike due to lack of protections when it comes to AI voice work. In non-news fun times, the N64 is all the rage at Grif & Chicken's house lately. Game funks all around lead to playing lots of smaller games. Sometimes breaks are good!

In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we spotlight the life and work of poet and writer, Joy Har­jo. She is the 23rd Poet Lau­re­ate of the Unit­ed States and a mem­ber of the Mvskoke Nation and belongs to Oce Vpofv (Hick­o­ry Ground). She is only the sec­ond poet to be appoint­ed a third term as U.S. Poet Laureate. Har­jo began writ­ing poet­ry as a mem­ber of the Uni­ver­si­ty of New Mexico's Native stu­dent orga­ni­za­tion, the Kiva Club, in response to Native empow­er­ment move­ments. Har­jo is the author of nine books of poet­ry, includ­ing her most recent, the high­ly acclaimed An Amer­i­can Sun­rise (2019), which was a 2020 Okla­homa Book Award Win­ner; Con­flict Res­o­lu­tion for Holy Beings (2015), which was short­list­ed for the Grif­fin Prize and named a Notable Book of the Year by the Amer­i­can Library Asso­ci­a­tion; and In Mad Love and War (1990), which received an Amer­i­can Book Award and the Del­more Schwartz Memo­r­i­al Award.  Har­jo per­forms with her sax­o­phone and flutes, solo and with her band, the Arrow Dynam­ics Band, and pre­vi­ous­ly with Joy Har­jo and Poet­ic Jus­tice.  Har­jo has pro­duced sev­en award-win­ning music albums includ­ing Wind­ing Through the Milky Way, for which she was award­ed a NAM­MY for Best Female Artist of the year.  SourceThis episode includes a reading of her poem, “Perhaps the World Ends Here”  featured in our 2024 Get Lit Anthology.“Perhaps the World Ends Here”The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live.The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, and it will go on.We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their knees under it.It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. We make men at it, we make women.At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers.Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms around our children. They laugh with us at our poor falling-down selves and as we put ourselves back together once again at the table.This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun.Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terror. A place to celebrate the terrible victory.We have given birth on this table, and have prepared our parents for burial here.At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks.Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite.Support the showSupport the show

This week Oak's out of town AGAIN. Too bad he'll miss a lot of fun stuff! In the news: Microsoft sent out a wave of layoffs across the company includes many from the newly acquired ActiBlizz. MS also might be behind with their next console launch. Will it hurt them to lag behind Sony? Speaking of Sony, Playstation State of Play was this week. Death Stranding 2 got a new trailer, more Silent Hill sneak peaks and debate, and Chicken is still very interested in Rise of the Ronin. Capcom might have up to five different Resident Evil games in the works at the moment. How many of them will we see this year? And for Chicken, Grif, and Baka, it's the end of an era as their World of Warcraft raiding days have come to an end. Luckily they also just started PalWorld to help them during this tough time.

This week Grif finally finished the Saints Row Reboot. Was there anything she liked about it? Oak is wading through the Mistlands in Valhiem and it has been an interesting go at things. Baka can't get enough of the Half Sword demo and all of its flailing weirdness. And Chicken has been playing his new mobile game passively. He's been busy! In the news: Half-Life is 25 years old and it's getting a free update! Nintendo is a hard place to work at for some people. Shocking. Embracer Group is in the news for it's massive layoffs and also for not saying more about the Knights of the Old Republic remake. It's... a weird headline.

This week Baka is out but everyone else has plenty to chat about! Chicken and Grif (and Baka but he's not here) have started their journey in Conan Exiles. Is playing dress up part of the core gameplay? Grif's still working on Baldur's Gate 3 but everyone else needs to catch up! And Oak is trying out the newest Mario game. In the news: Epic is apparently adverse to making money. Is the good guy play just an act or is it bad business? Microsoft finally bought ActiBlizz and Bobby Kotick will be around till at least the end of the year. Will the buy out benefit everyone?

It was impossible to check out the entire spacecraft; that could only be done on the ground. In the short time available, Griffin's team ran a pre-maneuver check list, re-aligned the CSM platform, and discussed proceeding with the mission with the crew. Homepage with Pics.

This week Grif fell into Dragon's Dogma. Chicken wanted everyone to try out a dino shooter demo but the time ran out. And Oak is doin' Oak things. In the news: The FTC hearings for the Microsoft-Acti/Blizz merger have started! What bombshells are being dropping in court this week? Will MS actually get to buy the company? There was also a nice Nintendo Direct. Oh and E3 was canceled. It shocked all of maybe three people who live under a rock. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week Grif unintentionally starts a LONG convo about what games would best benefit from a remake or a reboot. Lots of fun to think about what everyone would like to see get the makeover treatment. In the news: The UK doesn't like the ActiBlizz/Microsoft deal. People don't think the Switch can run CoD. Is that really the point though? Steam's beta testers are seeing a rework of the UI. And the new Star Wars game is struggling with several issues.

This week Chicken and Grif are trying out Valheim, Baka seems interested. Chicken also finished Resident Evil 4 and he is PUMPED to talk about it. Speaking of RE4, there are now microtransactions. People are kind of divided on how to feel about it. Oak is checking out Loop Hero. Is it everything he wanted? In the news: ARK 2 is delayed. Shocking, right? And Wildcard had some really out there ideas on how to sell it while also making old school fans angry. Perfect! Dark & Darker is still available... sort of. Will that hurt the devs when their case goes to court? And the Super Mario Bros movie is making tons of cash proving it's not impossible to make a successful video game movie!

This week's guest, Vinesh Ghadia, CEO and co-founder of BlackCap Equity's fertility vertical in India, talks about the exponential growth and consolidation happening right now in India in the fertility space. How is it possible to have 60 to 70 new fertility centers per year opening, with no shortage of fertility doctors? Tune in to the latest episode of Inside Reproductive Health to find out. Listen to hear: About the five to six biggest fertility chains in India, and the four to five that are on their way up now. How India is averaging more than one new fertility clinic per week in the country. What the US can learn from India in terms of consolidation, comparatively, where a network with 35-40 clinics is considered a midsize chain. Grif press Vinesh to explain why he believes India to be the biggest market for growth in the ART space in the next decade. What Indian fertility companies did to solve their fertility doctor shortage problem, and what they may do regarding the embryologist shortage. What Vinesh thinks about the falling price of PGT-A.

This week Chicken and Baka have been trying out the Diablo 4 beta. Is it worth the hype? Chicken is IN LOVE with the Resident Evil 4 remake. Turns out it's good! Oak and Grif have been playing, well not a lot really. Good thing Chicken and Baka can carry this week's show! In the news: RE4 is off to a great start on Steam. Valve announced Counter Strike 2 and a cool anti-cheat system to go with it. Dark and Darker is taken down after Ironmace got a cease and desist letter. The CMA says Microsoft's acquisition of ActiBliz isn't going to kneecap Sony. And then MS had to assure folks they weren't pulling games from PS5 after a recent detail about Bethesda's Redfall came out. And can turtles also be, well, ninjas? How about Ronin? A God of War style Ninja Turtles game? Is Baka dreaming?! All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

This week everyone had fun while deceiving each other in First Class Trouble. Well, most everyone had fun. One person did not. At all. And then Baka, Chicken, & Grif tried out the new free to play Puppet Master game! Turns out it was a lot of fun. Free on Steam if you're interested. Also, no we do not talk TLoU spoilers so don't worry about where to skip at. In the news: Sony is just getting weird and wild with their arguments against Microsoft. And is Dark and Darker a stolen game? Nexon seems to think so. All this and more on this week's Infinite Respawn Podcast!

Dr. Norbert Gleicher breaks down why he believes PGT- A is overused, over-funded, and over-aggrandized on the latest episode of Inside Reproductive Health with Griffin Jones. Is the genetics testing industry the new “big pharma”? Could PGT-A be harming pregnancy chances instead of improving them? And if so, why isn't anyone talking about it? Tune in to see where you land on this week's topic. Listen to hear: Grif and Dr. Gleicher talk about IVF “add-ons”. Discussion on the huge differences in practice patterns. The failures at the early attempts of rolling up IVF centers in the 1990s. Talking points on the efficacy, or lack thereof, of PGT. Gleicher's stance on scientific literature's inability to support the use of PGT to the level it is being used. Gleicher explain why he believes Big Pharma has been replaced by the genetic testing companies, who also happen to be the biggest benefactors of PGT.

Everyone's hyped up about being murderous in Gary's Mod Murder and TTT. Grif, Chicken, & Baka tried out a new ghost game that might give Phasmophobia a run for its money. In the news: Mostly Activision Blizzard acquisition drama. Still. The group speculates about Nintendo's next console. And Sony had a kind of lackluster State of Play.

Of course 2023 starts with tech issues! The podcast is audio only this week since Grif's PC ate the video. The audio's also a little low for reasons we do not understand. Anyway, this week everyone's playing First Class Trouble and there's lots of mishaps to be told! Oak found a new addiction on the Steam Winter Sale. And of course news! Not a lot, but some! The Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is still a HUGE topic of discussion. Are lawsuits aiming to protect consumers or other companies now? Kojima might be working with Microsoft to make use of the Cloud services in different ways. And Bloober Team says they're remaining very faithful to the original Silent Hill 2 with their remake.

It's like, how would you do it? What are the elements? What would it look like? What would you need? So first off, Andrew, what is, uh, what's going on in your wallet? What's. Oh man. So I playing or I played around Alene. [00:01:10] Oh, I think it minted a couple. One in my main wallet of this. Uh, well, I don't know, I should get into the maybe next project, next episode. Um, we've talked, look, there's this cool project from Deca. Deca has been doing some cool stuff. Um, they have one from, um, that's. Matt Cain, cool artist called Etch. I've been playing around with it. [00:01:32] You can MIT these. They're like, I dunno, they're very cheap to mit, but they, you can combine them with, um, with NFTs that you already own and then add words to them. Um, deck has done a, done some interesting projects they definitely work with, with impressive artists. And they come back to these projects to eventually close these things. [00:01:53] And, um, so I take a look at them. If you're, uh, , you know, I dunno. Maybe I can get into it more another time, but that's something I've been playing with anyway. New in my wallet. . Yeah. Spoiler alert. We may feature it in our next, uh, next episode a bit more. Uh, Daven and Daven have to buy something new. Yeah, they're, they're cool, they're cheap. [00:02:13] They're, I think they're like oh, oh eight. Nice. All right. I'm happy to say I've, uh, I foamed in, uh, I missed my reserve price because I just fell asleep at the wheel. But I, I foamed in, I got myself one of the, uh, one of the cock punch, uh, little roosters. Uh, after seeing that, uh, Tim Ferris was like legit starting that podcast, launched actual episodes is creating content around it. [00:02:39] And also, uh, I kind of like was pulled in after I saw that even on his main podcast, he's using his ad. To promote it, uh, which is, you know, is pretty sizable. So if he continues to do that, that ad space just has value in and of itself as an attention. and you know, he's talking to Steven Presfield, the guy wrote that. [00:03:00] You gonna have to skip six minutes now before I start listening. . Hell. Yep. 17 minutes in, you get 30 seconds of content. Uh, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's valuable. It's because people listen to themed into it. Yeah. IED into it. Um, yeah, I just took a look. Those, those, uh, etch pieces are 0.008, which as we, as we look at this right now is about $10. [00:03:24] Um, so, you know, don't, they're not going to go up a lot in value immediately. This is something that, you know, you can get them for that price. Obviously people are going to just keep getting, uh, new ones. Um, I think the idea would be for what you could potentially do with these, what they might make you eligible for later on, especially if you have a collection. [00:03:43] Um, so. Cool. Wanted to mention that after, since we had already spoken about them a bit. All right. What news we have? What's that? The news. Let's get her some headlines if we ready. Yeah. Let's you have you have more top line on, uh, on Deca or No? No, I, I think that's, that's it. I think we're. Looking at, uh, we're gonna talk more about, about NFT marketplaces because that's, that's the biggest thing that's going on right now. [00:04:10] Different marketplaces trying to, you know, whether you're, whether they're adding. Royalties back in, taking away open seat. Can't seem to make up their mind. But Magic Eden has been doing some, some impressive work and they have, uh, now launched, uh, polygon support, um, that's big. They have also introduced a discount and reward system for, for users. [00:04:32] I mean, I think this is maybe one of the more authentic ways to, to go about it is actually just saying what it is. You know, what they really want to do is, is create a loyalty program for users. We've seen how, uh, how different marketplaces have gone about trying to reward with the different tokens and. [00:04:53] It's been, it has, you know, the jury's still out on how that's working for Blur. Uh, it's hard to say that it's been super successful for rare in terms of, of staying power in Mar uh, uh, in the, the N F G marketplace, uh, landscape. But, you know, magic, heat, and I think they're, they've got, they've done some things right? [00:05:15] I can't say. You know, use the, the marketplace much. Um, just looked around and, you know, I have been impressed and I like what, what they're doing here. Well, I think one thing that when we were playing with Magic Eden, I was really impressed with were the analytics and the breakdown of projects and distributions. [00:05:31] And, you know what, Hmm. I think without Magic Eden, without them in the game open, Would not have that new beta functionality of analytics wouldn't be there. It, it's not, you know, like a monopoly by itself is not about to increase or improve the, the service without, uh, competition. So I am absolutely rooting for Magic Eden to keep pushing the quality of what these platforms should be able to produce. [00:05:56] All right. And speaking. Marketplaces and, uh, man, we've got flow. The, the, the, the, uh, blockchain that powers the, uh, the top shop marketplace. Um, you know, which has been relatively quiet. We've talked about how that has, they've really failed to make much of a, a comeback after, um, after seeing a lot of attention. [00:06:19] And now flow is down to about 90 cents. It's the all time low. Um, and I wouldn't , they're also saying the dapper has downsized further, doesn't seem good for this alternative blockchain. And you know, it makes you think like what happens to these. You know, to these assets, do they sort of get lost over time? [00:06:37] How do you know if it makes you think a little bit more about the underlying asset? You know, if, if people don't care that much about that, what does the, what does the N F T really mean and how much value can it hold? Yeah. Is the N F T value, uh, retained outside of the network or? only as far as it's built on that platform. [00:07:00] When it comes to something like an N F T on Tezos or Solana, for some reason, it's my feel that like if it's a legit, especially more on Tezos, that like it will have life after as opposed to it's only good in the context of its micro marketplace. Put another way, if I take my LeBron James card out of flow, transfer it somehow, cuz there's a bridge at some. [00:07:26] it really actually is kind of pointless because it can't be comparatively priced and traded in and amongst its peers in the same way. Does that make sense? Yeah. I think it's maybe a matter of art versus a collectible. Um, when we're talking about a, a piece that's collect, that's created by the artist and, and put on the block that blockchain, I mean, that. [00:07:49] The, the card, the, the top shot card of LeBron James wasn't created by him. I think if, if there was some something that, you know, was more directly tied, maybe it would have more value. And I think maybe that, I'm not saying that it, it completely, um, holds value, but I think there is something more to it than the collectible that. [00:08:10] Sort of becomes when the, when the collection becomes less relevant, it's hard for, for any single piece to hold value. And I, I tend to agree with you that there's a, it's a greater chance for the art to, to hold through when, when Tezos has been such a, um, such, such a common place for. For artists to, to go explore, especially explore, especially early artists to jump on because like the fees were low, easy to mint, like, you know, and it seems like it has, it feels like a grunge, it's almost like, it's almost, yeah, it's almost a, you know, the, yeah, the, the, you know, garage, the garage kind of place to go do your work. [00:08:51] The, I don't know, like a, yeah, grungy kind of, you know, the. , the minor leagues, you know, like the, the place to kind of work it out. And sometimes you like, there's some really incredible work and you, I mean, I'm not saying that everyone's looking to go to e there's some artists that have stuck there and a lot of them, a lot of the artists that have produced great work on Tezos then go on to also do work on, on e Man, you get me excited. [00:09:15] I wanna go tezo shopping again. I liked the, when we were doing, I liked that string of stuff that we were doing. I, I was. You know, looking back, I'm like rarely embarrassed about the random stuff I pick up on Tezos as opposed to like the random PFPs. When I like look back at our past projects, I'm like, do I really still hold a stupid raccoon? [00:09:30] Yeah, I do. I like, I'm gonna go burn it somewhere. Right. Yeah. Like I'm not super proud of that. I really like. , you know, some of those artists we picked up. But hold on, here's a, there's like another narrative here on this. Like, I just was curious in your mind, like, what do you think the, uh, like the peak price that flow hit was? [00:09:47] I wanna like, kind of like test your soft and a, uh, stupid market cap memory. I, you know, I, I don't know, but let's see if, I'm gonna just guess we're probably, uh, I don't know. Did it get $12? Playing at home. Guess a number? Uh, it is higher than $12. Do you wanna guess again? 20 . It is higher than $20. Do you want to guess again? [00:10:14] Oh, oh, man. Uh, okay. How we doing? People at home? Where should I go? How are you doing? ? Higher, nowhere 40. Yeah, 39.24 and it did that during the fever pitch of April of 2021. Like right when everybody was jumping on to this, like, what a great way to onboard fiat people into NFTs. Look how easy it is to get your money in. [00:10:43] Come on, everybody. The water's warm. Wow. Ouch. Wow. Yeah. Ouch. Ouch. anyway. . Uh, in other news anyway, you wanna find another way to, uh, depress people? Send your, to use. Well, there's a new way to use your credit card to buy NFTs. You know, you don't have to use dapper or, or flow anymore. Meta mask is now enabling. [00:11:12] Users to buy NFTs to buy ETH using PayPal. So, you know, if you got your PayPal hooked up to a credit card, hey, it's right there. I mean, it is good to have more onboarding options. You know, I think we're gonna just, I, I, I feel like Beta Mask has been trying to add new features. It feels a bit like they, I mean, they hadn't innovated the. [00:11:33] on wallet features in, in quite some time, and it feels a bit like they understand there's a lot of competition coming and it, that's the, the most direct experience that people have, uh, with their, their assets. And there's, uh, uh, a lot of potential for improvements. So, um, you know, interesting, it's, it PayPal's already sort of a digital currency. [00:11:54] We're just linking it to a little bit further, so pretty natural here. Yeah, pretty natural. And I think part of this is being pushed by the fact that Stripe, I think we talked about this in the news, launched its own mm-hmm. Fiat on-Ramp. What is amazing about this is that, well, like right on the heels of us talking about how Flow by Dapper Labs was so good at turning a credit card into flow, like into coins that I would buy the cards with. [00:12:21] Boom. Done. That functionality is now. Three clicks away on Stripe to embed on your site in the same way that you collect credit card payments, you can now turn those payments into crypto. They have an on-ramp, you know, tested and built. So it's like everybody now has that type of on-ramp capability that, you know, dapper had this like unfair advantage and it was like all about flow. [00:12:48] This like beautiful user experience, like that's now being adopted. Everyone. I think that's huge. Yeah, it absolutely is huge. And I, I think the man, the ease of of, of being able to transfer these, I mean, to, to buy and, and move these, uh, from, from, uh, fiat currency to, to crypto, I think is going to become the, you know, the, the easier you can make this in your wallet, I think the better for users. [00:13:14] I think there's just going to be a ton. I a ton of new opportunities to, to go between these two. It has been somewhat of a difficult, uh, process and it's also why I think we've maybe run into problems where we don't really know how much is, is held. You know, how much these, these digital. Dollars, you know, these, these U S D, uh, U S D or denominated currencies. [00:13:38] We don't really know how much is there, but I think this is a much more direct way to see how, how the flow is going when you, uh, have people d just buying it directly and going into their own account, into their own meta mask, holding it directly rather than, uh, Hey, trust us. We bought it for you. Just, uh, you gotta hold it. [00:13:55] Yeah, this is the not your keys, not your crypto argument. And I agree when the on-ramp is pushing people to have their own custody, for better or worse, um, we have a system that is safety built into the decentralized nature rather than centralized systems of trust, which have been, um, eroded to the point of non-existence thanks to ftx as example of how quickly you can just steal customer. [00:14:23] You know, fortunately in other news, he's been arrested finally. Um, but he, um, you know, he is, yeah, actually maybe remembered, hopefully for inoculating the next group of users, uh, that come in, uh, to just frankly not trusting anything with a centralized exchange. A fewer money is in a web two database. It's not. [00:14:47] Yeah, I mean, uh, it's something that we've, we have touched on before, how much NFTs have done to to, to get more people to use their own wallets, to self custody, to their assets, to be. To be accustomed to using their own wallet. And I think that's part of why, you know, you've seen meta mass become so popular because it was, it was kind of the default. [00:15:08] It was what was everybody was using and then there was a huge surge and it was all, there's a lot of NFTs and we've seen some, some attempts at, at NFT wallets, and I think now we're understanding of this is, this is really a, a major touchpoint for customers. Is, you know it, how they're using their wallet, especially if you're, if you're providing on and offboarding, uh, or on and off ramp, uh, channels for or for your users. [00:15:34] And then you start thinking about, you know, if you are the, if you're a bit responsible for, for how the transactions are presented, you know, you need to. You know, you've seen Meta mask improve, how they, uh, present what you're actually signing. Uh, when you sign a transaction. I think we'll start to see some of the, some of the, I don't know, the, the backend features become much less. [00:15:57] Present and have these, uh, these interfaces become mu much more friendly for users. And then, we'll, on top of that, I think we'll start to see more. Um, I don't know if it would necessarily be through token, uh, just giving token rewards or, you know, what it may be. But I think we will start to see, um, see these wallets and, and start competing much like the, uh, the N F T marketplaces. [00:16:21] Uh, Yeah, I'm embarrassed. I'm looking at the buy options in my, like meta mask right now. I don't see it. I see Coinbase pay, uh, transact moon pay wire. I guess they're rolling it out soon. It's an announcement, so I have, I have yet to use it. [00:16:42] I got the same, I've got no secret hidden features yet either, so yeah, I'll have to wait and see when that actually goes live. , oh man. Okay. Oh, wait. Next we've got, we got ANCA Brands. They're launching their own ppf, P N F T Collection Mind Mocha Brands, you, they own a piece of just about every. Gaming, N F T Company, um, seem to be invested in everything and I, I, you know, I guess looking to, to raise , raise some more funds, uh, or I mean, release a P F P N F T collection. [00:17:17] Sure, go for it. Like, I don't know if now is the best time, but Right. Who knows? It's the way, it feels a bit like they're just, I'm trying to raise some more money, but hey, you know, I hope this works from, uh, definitely not something that we are recommending at this, uh, as our feature project because George has a great one for us. [00:17:38] This would've been a gem like last year, cuz each one it says, I'm like reading it. Well open up the utility called realm. Utility realm, huh? Well, yeah. Represent a collection of core pillar. . Um, metaverse. Uh, metaverse. Buzzword. Buzzword. Buzzword. Grow community. Yeah. A year ago. Benefits member benefit. This would've been a plus a year ago. [00:18:00] Oh. Play through games. Good game and game assets. This is buzzword bingo. I think it's. Solid . Uh, anyway, uh, yeah, I have , I have an affordable project for you. Um, so, uh, announced, I think it was, you know, around 12 December 14th, maybe I forget exactly the date, but you two can now own a Donald Trump collectible card. [00:18:28] That's right. Collect trump cards.com. , I, this is not a joke. Uh, this was literally something that, uh, the former president, uh, announced, um, in a press conference as he's wanted to do. And these are limited edition trading cards and they're only $99, 45,000 of 'em, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you two can get one of the rare 45,000 of them. [00:18:54] Um, you know, there's utility here as far as I can see. You can win thousands of prize. , um, Miami Dinner with Donald Trump, a Mar-a-Lago group Cocktail hour, a group se a group zoom session. That's pretty good. Look, so we are mocking this and I think there actually is something to like the idea of being able to release a project that did, you know, if you did this the right way and, and could do something, there's something there. [00:19:21] However, I don't. I, you know, I, I don't think it's, you know, I'd be surprised it's the thing if it, if it really, um, delivered on all those promises, I suppose is , right? So, hold on the floor price right now if you want Trump digital trading cards and we have this link is, uh, currently 0.008. You know, depending on when you're doing that. [00:19:44] Uh, so far, 86 eth in total volume has been done across 25,000. items. So these things are going, and here's the thing, there's a tight-knit community that is very interested in this stuff and there, you know, there might be value here if you wanna like, try to flip something, um, on like one of the like, You know, special prize things, although I, it's on Polygon, right? [00:20:08] I assume this is why you're bringing it up. Cause you gotta pump your polygon bags and score another one for the Polygon Biz Gev team. They are out there working it. And I got, you know what? See, polygon doesn't care if you're on the left to the right or the crazy. They're out there, they're out there making blockchain space and selling it for you affordably. [00:20:29] Uh, absolutely. Hey, there's the, it is the choice. It's the choice for a. Project like this, you know, Starbucks, Nike, Trump. All right. So you get a sweepstakes code. All right? You'll receive an email with sweepstakes code enter shoes. Please enter a valid email address when you purchase. Uh, you'll enter that entry code sweepstakes win trump prizes.com to see if you're a winner. [00:20:55] No purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes technically so you could go enter those sweepstakes without buying this, by the way, cuz they're using sweepstakes. for those of you who are, uh, nerds out there in this sort of, uh, legal nuance of how sweepstakes work. Um, interesting. Yeah. So that's also, I'm assuming there's no on chain, uh, proof of a winner. [00:21:16] No. No, there's no on, so I don't like that Then, so like my angle is gonna be like, oh, is there like, um, a rare one that people don't fully understand, they give you a chance? Like no, it's uh, only on purchase. Do you get a chance? To enter a raffle, which by the way, you can enter for free because how sweepstakes works. [00:21:34] See how that works. Um, and then it's, you know, the price is still holding though on. Um, as you can see, George has, has looked into this . He's, Hey, he spent some time looking into the rules here. Has somebody, what does that stack of handwritten, he play arbitrage on this got behind you there? Huh? Is there [00:21:52] I'm the proud owner of, uh, what was it? Trump for Senate dot eth because I think at some. , they're gonna want that. And I'll be happy to take all of that money and donate to two progressive causes. I may keep some along the way, you know, I mean, I think you should just go sweep some floors. [00:22:11] not that bullish. No, there's no, I It feels like, you know, after you, you tear a, after you tear the top off, there's no continued value on this. Uh, as far as, uh, as far as I can see, right? People are doing it. , you know, I mean, unless they probably get access to events, so, right. There's that, I don't know. Um, anyway, that's, it's affordable. [00:22:36] Um, I don't know though. So , you wanna lead us into our topic now? Unrelated topic. Just so happens that these two things are just right next to each other on this totally unrelated topic of how to run the perfect N F T. , we are gonna just sort of go back and forth of what are the elements. So let's just say, I don't know, we were lacking of moral compass and we were consultants on a project and they're like, well, we wanna maximize how much money we can draw from an audience. [00:23:10] What are the elements? That you would bring to bear? I can kick this off if you want, unless there's something you're like itching to kick us off with. No, go ahead. I have some ideas here. You know, I, I, we've all definitely seen a ton of griffs in the NFT space. Man, it's, I, I don't know that I, the perfect one's tough because there's some stiff competition for grifters and, and crypto and NFTs. [00:23:37] All right, so here's my first one. You have to start off with complete and anonym. or complete celebrity. So you need to take one of these extreme polar tracks. You need it. No one needs to know you or everyone needs to know. Let, but you still, yeah, I'd say you gotta be attention. You gotta be. You've gotta create a, a, a mindset of us versus them is, is part of that. [00:24:04] It builds, plays into that. Because with the small one, it's a, you know, it's the, the David versus Goliath. With the, even with the bigger group, you still feel like it's, you're, you're the, I don't know, maybe the, the marginalized group. . So it is a us versus them mentality that you sort of, you need, I think for running a grift. [00:24:24] Okay. So you're gonna bring in the US versus them or, I'm writing all these down us. Yeah. Well I think it's actually a great pro. It's actually something that it, that goes into a great project, but it's also part of a, if. Buying into the, the graph. So I don't know. , it's, you know, careful here where we say great pr, what's a great project versus what's the, what's the Grift, right? [00:24:45] Lovely. I lovely. End up a love. We end up actually like being like, oh no, that's a good project. I'd buy that. Well, we'll see what we end up. Okay. Can't be in the middle. You're saying ? No, no, no. Uh, I would say you need. A 10,000 or less supply. I think supplies have to be limited so that you can, later when you get to it, manipulate the price, uh, because you need to, when we get later, and I don't wanna spoil, but you need a, uh, less than 10,000 batch of, or 10,000. [00:25:18] Okay. Yeah. For NFTs, yeah, I would say that's generally true. I guess it, what I'm thinking is generally you just need to, the other part is maybe you need to control a, a, a good portion. You, you need to be able to control a good portion of the assets in, whether it's directly or, or, or setting up a, a nice network. [00:25:40] Where you know that there's a, a certain amount of control and, and guaranteed votes or what have you. If, uh, it comes to those things. Yeah. If it's like a Dow or something. Okay. That's, that's mine. So, uh, a controllable 10 K or less batched, what is, what is something you would add? Uh, we'll just, you know, I think. [00:26:01] The, the idea that it, that you can control a high percent of those assets and I think having maybe more, ah, having the network of people to, to do this, um, that can, hmm. That add. So the network of people that, that will be able to control in all that will be able to help control the assets and also add what seems like more credibility to a project. [00:26:27] I think getting people, the, the, the grift almost, you've gotta get some, some credible people in it to make it look good. I think those have been common in many of the, the grifts that, the biggest grifts that we've seen, . Yeah, no, you need um, sort of a credible whale, right? A credible N F T whale. Mm-hmm. or someone basically not you to vouch to vouch for it cuz what you're trading on is trust. [00:26:53] Yeah. Whether it's, yeah, I think it's generally, you know, influencers or Yeah, I mean the N F T influencers, you know, we see different levels of those and pH man there's some you need pay so off for that. Okay. So I think you need a tight initial white list that is oversubscribed. , you cannot leave things on the shelf. [00:27:14] I think people have to have felt like they missed out. And if you are meeting the entire demand, the entirety of the demand, um, You're gonna have a problem because there's gonna be no one to FOMO into secondary and tertiary markets. Yeah. You gotta guarantee that sells out right over even if you are in there yourself. [00:27:33] I know. Yeah. Well, I think that that goes back buying. Can we control own books a lot? Buying your own books with, let's say an RMC war chest of money? Hypothetically speaking, if I wanted a book to go to, number one, I would use a war chest of campaign funds to buy my own book in mass. So drove it up hypothetically. [00:27:50] I would do that with NFTs. Just literally, no, I'm literally saying that it's not even hypothetically. So oversubscribe whitelist, and it must sell out. [00:27:58] What's the next step in our grift? [00:27:59] All right. What do we got here? Um, I I can keep going. Oh, go for it. You what? Hit us with the next one, George. , this is very important. You need to have a very high creator fee. Oh. Because you're gonna be taking advantage of secondaries, right? You need to get a taste. Yep. Yep. Uh, so I don't know, let's say around, hmm, 10% or more. [00:28:27] Totally unrelated fact, I'll give you and the listeners at home, one guess at what the creator fee is for Trump Digital trading cards. Hmm. [00:28:39] All right. I think another one would be an example of, of winners. You gotta show the, the people that have won from your project that have done really well. You gotta have some people that. That, uh, can, can vouch that have sold something for a high price, um, that have, that make it look like a successful good project to be in and whew, I wanna be like that. [00:29:02] I'm gonna call that. Like, that's such the Ponzi round one, right? Ponzi round one has to be people that have flipped these four a win and then you make sure those people get pressed. It is critical because that's what starts that greed. where it's like, oh my gosh, people are buying these things up. I bought mine for a hundred dollars. [00:29:21] I flipped it online for $300. You don't believe it. So perhaps you're thinking about with that sort of, uh, arsenal money. Now you're gambling a little bit, but let's be honest, you're, you're a grifter. Uh, you need to be sweeping that floor at some point, but also pushing it up for certain people to then talk about it. [00:29:39] So maybe what you do is, I would say, put a finer point on this, the proof of. , uh, I would pump the rarity. I would look at the rarity and then like make a game on that. But I would even go more, uh, sinister than that. Uh, I would have somebody buy something that is like technically rare and then have another account pay and overpay for it between those two accounts to show that people are overvalued. [00:30:03] Good old wash trading. Huh? Strong wash trading on high. , uh oh Yeah. Show that demand. Cuz people aren't just, they're not just buying the floor. They're, you know, they're, they're big fans of this thing. They believe in it, right? Well, the rare ones, maybe if you get a rare one, if you mint another one. Oh my gosh. [00:30:21] You know? So that's, um, just a, I feel like I kind of, I did a plus one on yours there. So here's my next thing. I think we've done that with a couple of these. . , you. All right, so here's my next thing. You need a future hyped event that has potential utility, but is not entirely clear Utility. Yeah. You gotta have, you gotta have promise of utility. [00:30:42] Something's coming. Something. You're gonna get free something. You're gonna get access to something, a big thing will be announced and you're gonna wanna hold this thing when that thing happens. I need, you need a hype moment When a holder's only event. On Fire Island or Fyre Festival? . Is it ? I forget where Fyre Festival is. [00:31:07] It was, I don't remember. I got something, I got that wrong. You know what I was talking about? ? Um, here what I'm saying, a hypes moment in the future that is, uh, both exciting and unclear. not, not specific. You need a non-specific, exciting thing in the. I don't know. I feel like people should hire us for this stuff. [00:31:27] We're given all the way gold here, man. I know, but you know, when you look at this, it's like this is, if you change a few words here, it's actually what you need to do, . It's like it's a lot of the effort. . No, but like the wash trading is a bit like that's over the top. Right. Obviously. Yeah, I, I understand that. [00:31:48] But no, there's, there's obviously things you would take out and there are things like, hey, if you actually, you shouldn't be super specific about saying like, Hey, we're going to have a token that launches in mid-December of this at this time and it's gonna drive you this much value. That's definitely not promise, date, and a token. [00:32:05] Oh yeah. Never promised dates. Again, I said hyped moment in the future. I didn't say date. Uh, that is exciting and non-specific. Um, alright. My, my next one is, and this may take a little more technical investment, but you need, you need to get staking and yield involved. You need to have people holding actually, so you need Oh yeah, yeah. [00:32:28] A certain amount of volume flipping, but you need people like staking that thing so that they are not constantly dumping on the floor. Cause the danger here is. , um, people dumping to the floor. Um, and that's the thing that you're artificially trying to boost up. Yeah. You wanna, yeah. You want 'em to hold that You wanna maybe reward them by, with maybe tokens for, for holding that I would even say, yeah. [00:32:50] I mean, I think the tokens get a little scary to me cuz that's how you piss off the s e c, but. If you're really grifting, you probably want tokens. So I'm gonna say token. I mean, if you're Grif. If you're grifting, you are absolutely adding a token in here. It's what I think best. Best the best. Yeah. I mean, it's easiest way, it's actually, it's, I think it's easier to lock up supply of, of tokens without people generally noticing. [00:33:18] Compared to NFTs , it's yes. Um, alright. Tokens and staking. You know, I haven't mentioned, I think the art has to be passable or unrevealed, [00:33:29] but the problem is on the reel. I think there's a, you can be unrevealed, I think. Yeah. There it has to be passable. It has to be, yeah. It has to be somewhat legit. There needs to be something. There's gotta be some belief that, hey, look, this is, there is real effort that went into this. It's not complete junk. [00:33:47] They've clearly spent time on this and, and, and, um, at least gotten the right artist to work on it. So they're taking it seriously. Yeah. I would actually go an AI generated route here. So it's like you can claim something nuanced, but you didn't have to pay anybody for it. And, you know, train the ai Well, if you, I mean, if you train a chat g p t to start spitting. [00:34:10] New ideas for the AI that, Ooh, yeah, there you go. Bun, boom. Done. I mean, boom. Done. It just passable, art passable. It can't just be a copy paste of board ape, like I think we're even on a grift level. Like we're kind of pa, we're above that . We're above that. There's stuff in here. There is, and I think, you know, if I was gonna add something, maybe we spoke to this a little bit before about getting, you know, credible influence involved, but I think getting big, getting a big investment of some sort in, in the project that's even outside of the N F T, you know, essentially we believe in this so much, you know, that looks really good, right? [00:34:49] The Andreessen writes a check for the, the underlying platform tech. You're like, What could go wrong? Yeah. I mean, if they're valuing just the tech it that much, imagine what the, the N F T is gonna be worth in the future. I mean, that's the real asset here. I used to say like you needed that discord community running nonstop and pieces like that. [00:35:12] I feel like there's a little discord overload. However, I, I think there might be a value for like a rarity play of like, if you own this type of. you get access to like the Trump disc or the, sorry, oops, I'm some exclusive thing. Let's say you hypothetically had a social media asset, uh, some exclusive room in, in where you could only enter if you had a thing. [00:35:37] Yeah, uh, yeah, I think there is a, maybe the discord number isn't as big or the activity, but yeah, you better have a, a ridiculously large social media account, even if you are getting, you know, 32 likes from your 38,000 fans or whatever it might be. Um, I also have another one non redeemable. Right. This is the, this is the golden, this is the golden utility. [00:36:05] And this is the, this is one of the things that like, not to throw shade at Nike, but you know, they offered up the boxes, right? And then after the fact said, only if you're in the United States, like, I mean, okay. Ish. , but what if it were even tighter than that? Let, like say there's like a traveling, you know, hotdog stand or major speaking event that you happen to be doing around, and only if you're there at that time can you get access to it. [00:36:33] But that's, that's for the fine print. You get access to backstage at a thing if you're wearing certain things in certain places at certain times. And you can do a fine print, but it could look like access on the top. You know, I think Gary V did this like pretty honorably I would say, with regard to conference events and access. [00:36:52] But you know, he's not meeting and greeting the like 40,000 plus holders of his, his pieces. But there are a lot of promises out there. [00:37:04] So I guess, uh, you had mentioned something about 10 K or less. Uh, you know, I, I'd say that's how you start. But if you're really a top-notch grifter, you don't end with one collection. There's more because it's so, you know it, you've got to grow it because. , there's, there was so much value. I mean, you know, we know this, you know, these projects are a bit of Ponzi, so if you got some winners, you know, you need some more money to keep pumping in and let's get new buyers in here. [00:37:33] We're expanding the ecosystem. We're taking in more money and delivering maybe even less than we were before. . Yeah. A second, a second and third round. Yeah. I mean, of. Of that NFT drops. Yeah. Th this is a lot of golden here. I think, you know, if, if we hadn't given away all the secret sauce here, we could have been dynamite consultants for this [00:38:02] Yeah. Uh, So for the record, this is not financial advice. We don't recommend you do this. We are speaking on behalf of ourselves, not any of the companies that either of us work for , just in case. No, definitely not that we've seen in the space at all. Um, this isn't based on, I mean, oh man. Could, uh, Felix, like we need someone to just do a mashup of all of the worst things that have happened in. [00:38:30] I don't think we need that. . Yes, I, it's sort of the Silicon Valley H B O show of just the N F T crypto space. Man, that could be very entertaining. I would watch it. I would watch it. It deserves to be done. It deserves, I mean, we're gonna get a sandbank and free documentary, but I think we need something bigger. [00:38:46] Oh man. That's gonna be painful for some people. I mean, hum. Luckily, not one of them, but I mean, you know, other than the contagion, you know, we're all part of that. Oh, yeah. No, I guess I am a, a indirect victim of that bs. All right, so here's what we have just to run it down so you can hear it all together. [00:39:03] How to run the perfect N F T Grift Extreme and Anonymity or Extreme Celebrity with a. Foster the US versus them in the narrative 10 K or less in your badge so you can control a high percentage of those assets and bleed it off. Credible, N F t, whale or influencer being publicly involved, oversubscribed whitelist. [00:39:25] You must sell out even if you're buying your own book. High creator fee, we recommend 10% or more proof of winners, right? Ponzi initial round of wash trading would be it cuz it's even better if you're wash trading, picking up a piece that you know is valuable and then reselling it to yourself and another anonymized wallet making a big deal about how rarity is spiking. [00:39:46] Then you need a hyped moment in the future. That is a both exciting and non-specific. Something big it is coming. You'll be surprised. You may know the people. Say words that inspire people, don't put a date on it. Tokens and staking. That's just functionality you need to, to hold the floor. Uh, unrevealed art for a period of time. [00:40:08] And then it has to be passable Art that is not a complete copy that people can narratively tell themselves like, all right, this is close enough to art, or something I like and. Some sort of outside investment news to the company. Uh, exclusive social entry that elite pieces give you. Unredeemable utility events, i r l or what have you, and a second and third or as many rounds as you can possibly make to really milk the heck out of your audience until they are, uh, completely broke, until you cannot get any more money out of them. [00:40:44] And then you find a new audience and need the same thing, you probably need to go. Probably with a NA anonymity and then go to Extreme Celebrity because after you burn down your name, it's hard to do it again. It's the top level. I feel like that's, uh, pretty solid. Good advice out there for ripping people off. [00:41:03] Yeah, this is solid. I mean, man, we've seen some hyper success using these tactics. Uh, I feel like if we just, you know, we can put a book together or something, you know, get a few, get a few nice quotes from different people in the space, they'll, oh man, this will be a hit. Oh gosh. . Here's the . I have nothing else to add. [00:41:25] This is a perfect, sometimes you have a perfect episode. This, this is a perfect episode. I think everyone learns something and I'm very disturbed. All right, see you out there. All right, good one.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.De'Vannon: Stewart Delony is a fun and beautiful man. He is the host of the Snarky Faith Radio podcast. Stewart has himself a master of global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. And he worked for over 20 years in ministry. Now, in this episode, we about to shred modern day Christianity and read them for all the filth they damn well deserve.And as always, I will be throwing all the shade at [00:01:00] Lakewood Church because they deserve it more than most. I hope y'all enjoy.Hello, all my beautiful souls out there and welcome back to the Sex Drugs in Jesus podcast. I'm super excited as I always am. Everyone says that before every fucking show. So anyway, I hope this one is like super badass and we're gonna talk a lot about Jesus and, and those damn Christian people who seem to have attached to themselves, to him for some bizarre, unbeknownst reason today.Have Stewart Dani with me. He's the host of the Snarky Faith Podcast, Lion Ash Radio Show. And it is pretty snarky, . I do have to say something myself, Stewart, how you are? How, how are you today? Stuart: I'm great, Danna and I, I'm excited to be here hanging out with you and talking about all sorts of stuff today.De'Vannon: All sorts [00:02:00] of things. And so I remember whether the I had discovered as you add or how, I don't know, I'd just be on the internet digging up shit. And somehow I came across, maybe I did like a religious search on Apple or something. And then I came across your podcast, Snarky Faith. And then I looked at some of the show, show titles and everything like that.And I was just, just as fascinated as I could be. So just to read, we're gonna actually talk about your podcast towards the end of the show because we wanna talk about a couple of documentaries first. But I do wanna read the description you have for your podcast just as a little titty teaser for my beautiful audience.And so, and that quote, Stewart Snarky Faith is a space where we ire ire. Haven't had my wine today. Ire wrestle through life, culture and spiritu realities. It is a skewing of religion and culture today. The questions are even, [00:03:00] answers are never the point. It's all about the conversation in the quote, and we'll jump back on that later.So one of your major themes that I came across for you is this, you've coined this term the insanity in Christianity, and I'm just wondering what that means Stuart: to you. Well part of it has to do with, with a bit of my past too, if I was, I was raised in the south. I was raised in, in, in, around the Atlanta metro area, was raised around conservative Christianity for the most part, and then for some odd reason, decided to get into ministry for a number of years.I was, I worked like 20 years in church ministry and. Began, the further I was working in there was just began to see just the weird, crazy dysfunction. Like, like the, the idea that there is the stuff that Jesus talks about and then there's the stuff that like Christians [00:04:00] talk about in politics and those two things, those don't really match up at all.And you know, and so that just started kind of ticking me off over the while of being able to say, Wait a second. I know you guys have Jesus bumper stickers or T-shirts, but nothing about what you're doing. Seems like you understand the simple teachings of Jesus. So yes, my job a lot of times I feel like is to be able to point out the insanity, to be able to say that's not what Karate's talked about.Mm-hmm. , it's just a lot of American Christianity, . De'Vannon: Right. And that is our task because, you know, our market is not, I feel like I could speak for you when I say this. You know, our market is not. The church. Mm-hmm. , it's not church people. Our marketer are people who are considering their path and pondering at whose minds have a risk of being overthrown.By the way, Christianity is branded, especially here in the States. And so when people like us rise [00:05:00] up and go, there's another approach to God, you know, this, this fooly that that we're seeing play out before our eyes isn't him. And so I don't want people to actually believe that this is all God is reduced to his evangelical and Republican philandering, you know, and cocaine ORs and whatever the hell else they do.I don't judge it for the cocaine orgies, Mr. Matt Gates and you know, Mr. Wannabe speaker of the house. Cause I've had a few of those myself. But I wasn't judging people , Stuart: you know, you weren't oppressing people for the things that you were doing. Which that ticks me off like more than anything. It does, It does it.I, I've never understood that. So for people to kind of, and that's a weird part about Christianity, I think that the, for lack of a better term, the inbred nature of a lot of the, the thought processes that go on within there, I, I think it keeps people in a space where they feel like they have to keep coming back.Where they feel like it's, you know, [00:06:00] either fear or shame or whatever keeps you coming back. Even though probably every bit of the logic in your brain is saying, This place is crazy. We gotta get out. But somehow you just leave that door open, put you don't know what God's doing, which is a recipe for abuse, , anytime you kind of enter that into it yeah.De'Vannon: Yeah. Yeah, those are the dangling carrots, you know, the vague promises. You know, it's like when I was a drug dealer, I wasn't a shady ass drug dealer, but I hung around a bunch of shady ass drug dealers. Mm-hmm. . And that's how you always get people, you know, like, Oh, this is gonna be the best thing, you know, all these promises, or, Give me your money and I'll come back with even more than what I've, you know, more doped than what I have right now.You know, Just let me borrow this. Let me hold onto it for a second. You know, it's the same Stuart: energy. Oh, I've been around some shady ass pastor, so I, I totally agree. That is . That is the exact same energy . De'Vannon: Then I heard you say the S word when you were referring to Jesus' [00:07:00] ministry, which is simple. Mm-hmm.and, and so I just wanted to echo that cuz I always like to remind people that it was a remarkable thing and one of the gospels and it was talking about how Jesus taught with such simplicity. Mm-hmm. , you know, I find it remarkable because they, they couldn't write everything down in the Bible or, or even the scribes of the day.They couldn't literally account for everything in the whole day. They only wrote down what stood out to them. So the fact that Jesus' ministry being like, chill was noteworthy, just lets, lets me know that the the Republicans of his day, , the Pharisees and the sades were being really, really extra. Yeah.You know, because there, there was a contrast there. Jesus wasn't showboating and causing a whole scene except for when he threw over the temple, which I, you know, I'm with him on that. Mm-hmm. and you know, so Jesus was chilling. So when we look at, you know, Republicans, evangelicals you know, people who tout the name [00:08:00] Christianity and how hard they come for, for people, you know, they're being, you know, the exact opposite of how Christ was very humble and meek, he spoke his word, but he didn't, by no means go around trying to force it upon people.Mm-hmm. . And so he never did that. And so I just wanted to talk about the simplicity of the Lord. Stuart: Yes. And, and even in that regard, like if you don't talk about, even about the simplicity of scripture, one of the ideas, core ideas of scripture is choice. In the Bible, you know, allowing people to have choice, which is really funny because Republicans don't like to allow people to have choices to be able to go and do stuff.But that's very, very central to really a lot of the narrative of scriptures in the Bible is that God gives people the opportunity to do stuff. God doesn't compulsively make people do things like Republicans want to do and are doing in certain places right now too, which is terrifying. Yeah, The, I believe they do it in the name of Jesus, which is also sickening De'Vannon: too , when anybody can pick [00:09:00] up the name of Jesus and go trotting down the street with it.I know where people have to get is that, you know, when the Bible talks about woo and sheep's clothing, it has to be somebody, when the Bible talks about the hypocrites and stuff like that, it has to be somebody. Every generation has people who claim to be of God and are not, and people who say one thing and do the opposite, it happens everywhere.So in our day and time, I believe that that is our Republican party and. The Evangelical party and people who, who don't seem to have a problem with what Republicans are doing. Mm-hmm. . So this is our, these are our Pharisees right now. Stuart: Oh, absolutely. Because Christ talks a lot about, I mean, there, there is so much that is like anti empire and anti-establishment in what Jesus is talking about, about the structures of power of the time.And it's funny to be able to see where we see like a lot of conservative Christians running, We want more power in government, we want more power, we want more of the empire. And that whole thing was antithetical to everything Jesus was talking [00:10:00] about. He was trying to talk about whole different system of power and a whole dis different system of living, but some of them didn't get the memo apparently.Mm. De'Vannon: They can't because, you know, as the Lord said, if he were to open their eyes and they would see, and he would open their hearts and they would hear, and they would feel they would be human and they would be converted, but he has not given them the kingdom. And, you know, whoever the, whoever the hypocrites of the day are, are never, ever gonna see fault in themselves because it's always gonna be a problem with what someone else is doing.Mm-hmm. because their minds have been overthrown in a, in a and that makes life harder for everyone else. But yeah, I choose to believe that the problems that they bring up on our lives are, they're to strengthen us because it's gotta be something if it's not them and there's gonna be the bitch next door or the bitch at the grocery store, , we gonna always have motherfucker somewhereSo, so we can't escape. And so, but it is [00:11:00] about choice. And Deuteronomy, you know, in the Old Testament, the Lord is always trying to give Israel a choice. Choose, choose you this day who you're going to serve, but I'm not going to force you. I hope you pick me, is what God is saying. But he never, ever, ever, ever was forceful.And my favorite example of Jesus being anti-establishment, if you will. Entire rich people was when the, the lady came in with only the two mites and all the rich people were in there making it rain. And, you know, he didn't compliment them, he didn't say anything good about them. The person who made him stop in his tracks was the broke bitch.Mm-hmm. , you know, the, the, the, the bitch bleeding from her pussy. You know, I met respectfully ladies and and I realized how that sounded when I said, Stuart: You mean it in love. You mean it in love. That's De'Vannon: all love. And so, so, you know, you know, the broken people or the people who stood out to him, but in this is the town people wanna talk about the richest pastors, the richest people in [00:12:00] the world.This is not how God is. Stuart: No. No, and that's, and again, like circling back to the simplicity, it really just goes back to like, how are you loving people? in your area, like in your own sphere? Like, do you love your neighbor? Do you love the, those that aren't nice to you? I mean, they're really simple things in many ways that will change how you walk.That'll change how you even like look within yourself when you're actually learning to deal with other people. Seeing your own junk when you see other people's junk. And then, you know, the hope is that it makes you way, way, way more compassionate moving forward as you engage with other people. But at the same time, yeah, sometimes it's too simple for Christianity.We need to make it into some sort of a thing where we're drawing a line in the sand and the, these are going to hell, these are going to heaven. And when they always draw the line, the line's always on their side. Mm-hmm. De'Vannon: So, so how you went to seminary? Which seminary [00:13:00] was it again? Stuart: I went to a Fuller Theological Seminary.It's it's mainly in Pasadena, but they have a few other campuses. De'Vannon: Yeah. Cause I thought I remember like World Campus or something like that in there somewhere. But I went to seminary too. I left, I didn't stay long, just only a few semesters because the the guy who taught law, he just one day he was like, Yeah, we, we really like to control people in the church and everything like that.And oh my God, I was the only person in class who was like, I don't think we should be controlling , you know? Yes. Yes. I don't think we should be doing that. And, you know, and I did a double take, you know, and I asked him, you know, the fuck you. You know, I was speaking more similarly and the aloud. Stuart: Of course, of course, of course.But that's the trans, that's the translation of . De'Vannon: Yeah. In, in, in the Greek. That's the translation. Yeah. The fuck you say. [00:14:00] And he just like, he was like, Yeah, we wanna control people in the church. And he said it as casually as there's clouds in the sky. And everyone else in the class was nodding along with him besides me, and I was like, Oh, hell no.Mm-hmm. , I got to go . Stuart: So, Oh, I, I've had moments like that too. This was, I mean, this wasn't, I mean, I appre for me, I, I enjoyed the seminary I went to for the different viewpoints. It pushed on me. I enjoyed, See, I'm a person, I don't know if I'm just like a intellectual status, but I don't mind being wrong in my head,So if there's like new information out there, I don't mind messing around with it. But watching other pastors like lose their mind. Like when certain professors would tell them scripture in this way or this way. Like, Oh, you know what, if the creation story is not literal and then you watch a bunch of other guys just heads blow up at that moment.But, but you're right. I've been in other places, not at my seminary, but when I've been to different conferences and stuff where I've heard back when I was a church planter, like heard people talking about gathering [00:15:00] people together. If you're planting a church and those people don't worry too much about them, they're scaffolding on the building that you're kind of really trying to set up here.So they're just useful tools and if they leave, that's fine, but they're, and hearing that, it's the most dehumanizing thing that I've ever heard about people, especially from a perspective of we're starting a church. People that you're gonna start it with, ah, it don't matter that much, but they'll be useful idiots for a while.And, and, and, and that's just what gets me so much about Jesus is that Christ saw the humanity in people. Price didn't see them as, as marks or numbers or, or any of this stuff. And it, it's just gross. It's gross in so many ways how Christianity has become in this way. De'Vannon: I think some people start off corrupt like that, and I think some of them start off with the best of intentions, but money and power corrupt some slowly, gradually over time.Much like the ring did Smiggle in the Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that cinema and, and all these shows we watch are just [00:16:00] entertainment. I really think that the Lord is speaking through us through these things. The slow corruption of Ankin Skywalker, the Vader. You know, I don't, I don't, I think that this sort of stuff happens in people in real life, although they're not running around shooting electricity outta their hands and forgot and disappearing when they put a ring on.You know? But you know, what does disappear? You know who you used to be? You know, by the time Ankin is Vader and by time, by the time Smiggle is Gollum, that old person is, you know, their original more pure form is no more. And they can't even tell you the point which they changed cuz it happened so subtly.Mm. But in their mind, they still feel like they're just as justified today as Vader and Gollum as they were when they were Ankin and Smiggle. Mm-hmm with everyone else who has a problem. . Stuart: So, No, you're right, you're right. And I've been in places where like, yes, it feels like to stay on this track it means I'll have to lose a part of my soul or have to swallow part of who I am to in order to remain here.And that was, that was a learning curve for me cuz I'd worked for a, I [00:17:00] worked as a missionary for a while and I was on the leadership board of their organization and I was the guy that was always pushing back against what they were doing. And so for a season of life, I was like, Oh, I'm doing God's work.I'm trying to push back and give a different perspective. And then after a while you begin to realize, no, I'm just really being a pain in the ass to them, and they really don't want me around anymore because my perspective is too challenging to what they're talking about. And at this point, I probably just need to gracefully exit because it's just, you know, there's that idea of Yeah, am I helping or am I just a pain of the ass?And at some places, if you're a pain of the ass, you're just gonna leave. De'Vannon: Right? And, you know, church is just like a lot of Yes. Men around them and, and stuff like that, which is something I'm, I believe I have in my notes here too. You know, well, I'll just say now, you know, you know these churches, they surround themselves with people who agree like them and they think like them.And so they don't really wanna be challenged. But the danger of that is if you're not, if you don't have opposing [00:18:00] viewpoint, You keep hearing all of these yeses and you begin to think that you're right when you objectify people like that and you think that you're right. Well, whatever it is that you do, Cause ain't nobody telling you no.Mm-hmm. . Stuart: So I'm, And, but there's, there's a danger in folks just in the audience, just a similarly, like for people in the congregations, effectively taking their brains out when they hang out in church and being like, Yeah, whatever he said, I agree with it. I have no idea how he got to these points. You know, his theology's already been predigested and he's giving it to me, so sure, I'll take it.Even though we don't, like, there's not that whole like, internal process of learning and growing and it, we just end up almost taking the regurgitated vomit like a mama spitting into a, a baby bird's mouth. I, I feel like that happens at church way too much. And I just think that would taste terrible. So and so I, I, yeah, it, it pushes back on just the fact that we've taught people, like you'd mentioned to keep under control and we've taught them to not really question.[00:19:00]And just listen and agree. And that's also incredibly dangerous when PO folks are at a position where they just agree with what the pastor's always De'Vannon: saying. And I used to be that, that guy, honestly, I think the vomit from the mama bird would be more nutrition than no more nutrition. That's true. That's true.Than what these pastors bullshit is spewing out. Mm-hmm. . But I used to be that person. I would hear something I didn't agree with and I would say, Okay, he's up there, so I'm gonna change my mind to what he said rather than to critique him. Yeah. So or as, as I learned and when I was getting my hypnotist certification, that's called hypnotizing people and using it in a negative way.Mm-hmm. . So but I'm reminded, I wanna throw a little bit of shade at Lakewood Church since I used to be a member. Stuart: Okay, let's do it. I game for that De'Vannon: before they kicked me out for not being straight. And so and you know, so I know Joel gets on TV and acts like he's all [00:20:00] nice and everything, but behind the scenes they have policies and effect that really, really hurt and damage people.Yeah. So in terms of objectifying people, while when I was volunteering in the kids' ministry there. I walked back into the office one day and I heard the leader of the kids' department saying something like about the volunteers, the effect of like, you know, we're smarter than them, we get to he was talking to the staff about the volunteers who were not in the room.I was a high level volunteer and so I was, I was given a lot of access to stuff, but he was saying like, you know, basically we're really clever. We're gonna use these volunteers to work ourselves out of a job. You know, thumbs up kind of thing. He, he, he, and that didn't set well with me, but it was, no, it was on those situations where I was like, I'm gonna show grace and mercy.No place gonna be perfect. I'm just gonna go ahead and overlook that. You know? And I wish I hadn't done that. It, it's, Stuart: it's, it's funny cuz I'll, I'll do the same thing where like, I replay this in my head, [00:21:00]but, you know, if you would've been like, Excuse me. What about this does anyone realize this is pretty fucked up right now?I think no one would've said anything and that you, you would've been just escorted outta the building and that would be the end of it. Because again, yeah, you have a bunch of Yes. Men or sheep or people that just go along with it because it sounds good and it, and, and because of course it's a church, so of course God's part of it.Right, right. And I feel like that's the assumption a lot of times. And it just creates a lot, a lot of baggage. De'Vannon: I'm gonna throw a little bit more shade at them though, though. This is, this is cause this is another form of censorship that they do. Mm-hmm. . So I saw this woman catch the Holy Ghost one time when I was in the main sanctuary at Lakewood.And look, I get some people fake dancing in the spirit. Some people don't believe in it at all. Okay. And some, sometimes it's real. I've had that experience like maybe less than five times, four or five times in my whole life. I've never been this sort of person that, you know, Sister Sally [00:22:00] every day on Sunday at exactly 1115 here she go down the aisle.No. If it's going. It's gonna happen. It's gonna have to be like legitimate. So sometimes it's real, sometimes it's not. This woman was, this was real, and now she's in the largest church in America in the middle of, I'm pretty sure it was probably like the 11:00 AM service, the largest service. But this other fucking matter cuz all the services are huge.Mm-hmm. , I'm like, this girl caught the holy goes down in the front, you know, I guess maybe like 20, 20, 25 rows back, maybe 15 or 20 rows back from the front, which is like nothing in a place that big. Sure. But she got up in the spirit was moving her and the ushers kicked her out, . And I thought like, this was another one of those moments that I was like, Okay, I don't like this, but I guess I should overlook it.I'm all like, how you gonna censor the spirit in the middle of the church? I don't. [00:23:00] I don't, Stuart: Well, that, that's one of the things that, that, that grabbed me early on in when I was working in ministry is that it's, it's a production, you know, that Sunday morning is a production and it's about like eliminating any mess.It's about eliminating like anything that would get in the way of the production, which, which is really kind of sick and twisted if you really think deeply about that. Because if, if God is trying to reach out to humans and we're all messed up , we've all got shit and, and we're all messy. But I think that like ministry, if you're actually doing ministry with God, I mean, it's going to be messy because we're messy and that's okay.Cuz God knows what we're messy and and I, I just find it weird when we tend to like whitewash our services into making themproductions or pageantry. De'Vannon: I couldn't said it better myself. And I always like to remind [00:24:00] people that when these people, your worship leaders, your pastors, and I use the word pastor loosely because I don't believe many of these people are even called I haven't heard any of their stories, of their true conversion when God met them and the books they write or never really about themselves.But remember I, you know, they're at work , you know, and just like most people when they go to work, they're being fake as hell and putting on whatever face they need to, to, to get the job done. I just wanted to throw that out there Stuart: and Well, and if you wanna throw out that, just, just a little addendum to what you're saying is that there are many pastors that write books that are ghost written as well.To where I've, I, I know I've known of hu few instances cuz I do have a friend that's a ghost writer where they'll just kind of give a bunch of ideas to a person, you know, like couple stories, couple things. And they're like, boo, go make it happen. So again, you're right, it's like this whole like Christian marketing complex that we kind of find ourselves under that's really just about De'Vannon: money.And there are [00:25:00] also regurgitated sermons too, because one of Joel's books I read, I know, I was like, I heard this in a sermon before. You know, it's just regurgitated sermon. It's a, it's a system. It's a, it's an equation that they have to constantly books like that. And, and I know that they're not writing them.I know. I know. Mm-hmm. . And so I put a note here about the war on drugs because of something that you said about like like government control. I felt like I was watching shit, I've consumed so many documentaries in the last, like I watched the, the new one on Netflix, How to Change Your Mind, where the guy's going over How he used like the me school and the cide bin and the MDMA and everything like that.And I watched the history of mental illnesses on pbs. And and it was interesting to find out how like, You know, the psychedelics were used and being like, studied in clinical settings, you know, Then the government wanted to control people cuz people started using the psychedelics and they didn't wanna fucking go to war, [00:26:00] you know?And then, then they, then they was like, Oh, we gotta stop this shit. So let's make these drugs schedule one narcotics, you know, in, and then let's put fear in everyone about the evils of what may happen, even though people weren't really doing anything evil. Mm-hmm. . And then I feel like the church locked arms with politicians back in those days.And then they started calling drugs the devil, you know, the spirit of Satan and everything like that. And I don't know, I just wanted worded what you thought about, you know, how deep the history of church people and politicians go and the, what they did to stifle America's impression of drugs. Stuart: That's a good question.I, I, I feel like that, I mean, it kind of circles back to what you'd mentioned earlier, that it all falls into some sort of a system of control. You know, if we're able to paint a line and be able to say, Oh, those in this tribe are good, but those that are outside of our tribe are bad. And, and they've done that on, on, on so many different social issues throughout the [00:27:00] years.And I mean, it's been alcohol, it's been, it's been like I, I worked, I, I was even attending a church, this is when I was a missionary, but I was attending a church in the a in an area, and I was like, Oh, you guys, I would love to just start doing a bar ministry. This is like 15 years ago, just going and hanging out with people and just talking to 'em, not trying to convert 'em, just talking to people in bars, just to be able to kind of break down walls.And they were like, you know, you can only do that as long as you're drinking a Coca-Cola or something else in that building. And I'm like, Wait, wait, I don't work here, but you guys know me and you do not want me to go and try to share stuff with people and just get to know people in bars because alcohol, I mean, again, I feel like that these are all scapegoats that, that we tend to demonize in so many different areas.I think that we've seen it, especially like recently, probably since at least 2020 ramping up of how the conservative right. Is finding like, I feel like we're back in the Satanic panic like 2.0 like back from the eighties when like there was [00:28:00] this whole like, ah, Satans everywhere and there's all these crazy things that I, I feel like we've just reinvented that cuz I grew up around some of that stupidity of the Satanic panic and, and I feel like this is just a new version of it or it's Yeah.A cue version of it now or some other craziness that they're adding to it. De'Vannon: Well, the devil isn't particularly creative man. He just tends to copy shit and repeat cycles. He's not really all that inventive. But if you, if you think about it, and that's why I believe in the book of Revelation when it says that when Satan's true form is like revealed and then the nation looked at him and was.Okay. Is this the nigga that was fucking with us this whole time? this little thing over here, reallyHe's not that impressive, you know, in terms of analyzing his mechanics, you know? Mm-hmm. , you know, is he powerful and shit? Yeah. But you know, like this, this is why, perfect [00:29:00] example, like a broke ass hustler who ain't got a penny to his damn name, can talk a smooth game and get a whole lot of money from people.I've seen it happen a thousand times when I was a drug dealer. They use what little, they have good looks, big dick or the reputation or whatever, but zero actual fucking thing of worth in terms of money. Yeah. And can get damn near anything they want, but really any shit. Mm-hmm. , Stuart: and even mentioning that, and I don't, I don't, this is, this is, this is your interview.I don't wanna go down any revolution, rabbit holes or anything like that too. But I also feel like that's one of the books of the Bible that is messed up. More people with bad interpretations and reading it. I literally, I, I was going before my, this is years back, but before my ordination hearing and they're grilling me on all these things.And some guy asked me and I didn't know him and I was an idiot, but he was like, Tell me about how do you feel about the end enzyme on the book of Revelation? And I was like, I feel that's probably done more damage to Christianity than anything in a while, because we focus [00:30:00] on the end and we don't pay attention to what's now in this.And depending on how you read it, some people read it exact, literally. Some people see it figuratively. Some people pick and choose between the two, which is a terrible way to read scripture, to hop between those two standpoint. But yes, I remember some guy got so mad at me, explain yourself, Why is this?Because I was like, Does it really matter? Does it matter what's gonna happen fully in the future if we're supposed to be digging in now towards loving people and kind of walking out the simplicity of Christ? Because sometimes if we focus too far in advance, I feel like it takes us away from the present.De'Vannon: Hm. Or as they, or as they say in the Pentecostal churches, you don't wanna be so heavenly minded that you ain't no earthly good. Amen.Oh my gosh. I really don't like the fact that I still have in me things from my church days. But, you know, I guess it wasn't all bad. Stuart: No, I, I, And I think that's, that's the hard [00:31:00] thing. I think that oftentimes when people go through, like deconstructing and walking through, processing out their faith, we can end up kind of feeling bad or ashamed of where we, we were.But I, I, for me at least, I've gone like, Okay, that's what I was raised around. I, it's taken me time to figure out which baggage is shit and which baggage needs to stay and, and, and kind of processing through all of that along the way, because there are nuggets that have happened, but by and large, there's probably like more dump truck loads that were.Not helpful, but, but I do think that's essential in the spiritual path of being able to, is being able to figure out, yeah, what can I take from this? What good can I take from this? And then let me flush the rest of it down the toilet. De'Vannon: Mm-hmm. . So speaking of putting on a production and a show, you had quite the quite the choice words for the the movie through the eyes of Miss Tammy Faye.Stuart: Oh, . Okay. That one. Okay. De'Vannon: Yes. . Now for those of you [00:32:00] don't know Tammy Faye Bacon, Miss Mr. Jim Baker. Were probably the most colorful people on television, especially over there at tbn back in the day. Stuart: back in the day, which became I think, yeah. But yeah, keep going. Yeah. De'Vannon: personally. I loved it. I loved the show because I like anything that exposes the foolishness of Yeah.Television ministry and the bullshit side of Christianity. You didn't like it though, so tell, talk, Stuart: give me your, Oh, my, my pushback on, on it was cuz I, I have, I have, I had a, I had a gullible mother who loved Televangelist and Jim and Tammy were on all of the time and those folks, and, and, and my only issue was with the movie.I think Tammy Faye figured stuff out and went on to do good stuff. I think the movie kind of gave her a free pass of being a part of this whole whatever that was, you know, the [00:33:00] cluster fuck of Christianity that was going on. That was ptl. And, and I just, I, I thought some of it film wise was just a little.I wish they would've dialed down on some of the bigger stuff because there was, there was abuse like supposedly. I mean, I don't, I don't think they even hint on the fact that Jim Bakkers been accused of raping someone as well too. And so there's, there's a bunch of weirdness surrounding that and just trying to glaze our way out towards the end.That's what kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth cuz I remember, I remember a lot of that and, and I do, like, I, I, I appreciate how Tammy Faye changed and how she changed stuff within it, but at the same time I thought the filmmakers were a little they were a little heavy handed and made it just all bad, Jim, but I think that they were two people that were involved in whatever that craziness was.De'Vannon: I wonder why that may be, maybe they were so overwhelmed with so much bullshit that they could pick from, they just didn't know how to handle Stuart: it. No, you and you're right, and [00:34:00] I've had to do that too. Like you, when you get raised around stuff, like I've, I have friends that are worship pastor. That have had to work through the idea that like, wait half of what we do all the time is almost just psychologically messing with people, you know, just the lights and the music and getting everyone in that right mood and they can, they know what they're doing with it.And you'd mentioned hypnotism earlier, and I'm not saying it's hypnotism, but it's definitely conditioning people for a situation and creating the expectation for people in the situation. So, I mean, to give Tammy Faye a, a fair shake, which I would say is that she may have been swallowed up in all of that, you know, to where this is all God's work.And it is, it's very, it's very it can be very intoxicating and, and it can be something that really, like you'd mentioned earlier, turn you into a wolf and sheep's clothing. De'Vannon: Yeah, you know, there's a lot of makeup to keep on all the time. it cause money. Stuart: Oh my gosh. I felt bad for Jessica Chastain cuz I think they said [00:35:00] she's like the actress that was portraying her, she had like four hours a day.I'm like, oh that. No, that sounds awful of trying to recreate that look. De'Vannon: That's drag queen say all the time. It takes a a lot of money to look this cheap.So that's in the eyes of Tammy Faye. You could find it on different networks and shit. I recommend it and I love it because these, these people are kind of like at the beginning of the tell tele evangelical wave. So these people pave the way for your Joel O Stings and for your T Jakes and for your Joyce Meyers and everything like that.You know, it's not like I don't see similar practice. Know across all of these ministries, it's up to you to decide who you can trust and who you can't. But, Mm. fuck with churches. I don't, I don't walk, walk in 'em. I don't know none of that no more. And I'm not bitter. I'm just logical now. And I, you [00:36:00] know, and I critique things and it's not okay with me for these churches to break in all this money.And I, I talk about Lakewood a lot cuz that's just where I was, you know, had I been at Felicia's Church of Latter Day Saints and I would be talking about fucking Felicia, but that's not where I was. And so, you know, did, did break in all this money and then be firing volunteers. Mm-hmm. for where they hang out at when they're not at church, you know, when you're off camera.Mm-hmm. . So I'm not okay with Stuart: that. It's a business, it's a, I think it's easier if you begin to see it as a business and not a church. De'Vannon: Oh, it's, it's a grif. And so for those of you don't, Oh yeah, Grif is a Grif Is this religious shit we're talking about? Or Republicans or like when Donald Trump's wife, one of one of his ex wis fell her ass down the stairs and died the other day, you know, he took to his, his social media platform he created and gRED, he was like, She's dead.Would please donate ? So that, that's like a gr yeah, if you want further education, what Grifting is, [00:37:00] I do recommend Ms. Betty Bowers on Facebook. That's hilarious. She's hilarious. Trademark Glory, as she always says. She's very funny. Look up Ms. Betty Bowers. Very funny. And so now you were on a documentary called, In God, We Trump, I'm gonna include a link to this in my showy notes.I watched it on Vimeo earlier. It's the good like hour and a half of your life. I suggest everyone watch it. It's called In God, We Trump in this documentary. Traces the parallel parallelization, That's not a word. I've decided that it is the parallelization of Trump and Evangelicals. And how basically evangelicals created the ability for Donald Trump to become the president of these United States, and then all the as fuckery that followed.Talk to me about your experience on this documentary and why you agreed to be a part of it. [00:38:00]Stuart: I don't know how I got involved it in the first place but when I heard, I think it was through a friend, I think a friend of a friend knew the documentarian and was telling me about what was going on. He was trying to like find people to talk to as he was going around the us and so I reached out to him and we became friends too through the process of it.But he was just like, Yeah, I just want pastors that'll actually be honest about stuff that's going on here. He had a lot of conservative pastors that would not go on camera talking about what they honestly felt like. and yeah, when he traveled down here, cuz I'm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, I was part of that leg of the tour.He, we set up a spot and talked about it and I was, I do much of what I do on the radio. I just tell it like it is, is the way I see it. And yes, this is the do, I mean really what's been happening is, especially with Roe v. Wade falling recently, this has been the conservative, like evangelical rights essentially wet dream for [00:39:00] 40 to 45 years.And so they've been moving this for years, this amongst other social issues and trying to ingrain them within politics because they saw politics as the way to be able to make social change happen, which is hilarious because they talk about God being the God of the universe and he being all powerful.But God needs us to infiltrate the government because God's too flacid to do anything. I, at least that's how I do it in my own head when they talk about it. But it is, it's, it's, it's a weird, disgusting thing that began to happen. Well that's been happening for a while. If anyone remembers like eighties, like the moral majority or like promise keepers, all this other BS that was kind of all in the line of where, where we are at now with what happened with the Supreme Court.And it'll be interesting to see what happens because I feel like, cuz this, this, I don't think this is in the documentary, but they're, they were, the, the Christian right was toying around with different issues that they thought would be flash points in culture to be able to beat their drum [00:40:00] on. And they, Jerry Falwell on a bunch of them, they would try certain ones, they wouldn't work.Eventually abortion became one of those things. Because before that actually Evangelicals and Christians really didn't have as much of an issue with abortion. With this, I mean, our country has been, we've had abortion since the beginning of the beginning of our country. What? Well, we're founded with what do we, you know, we're a Christian nation, we're founded with values, eh?They like to play around with the fact that we don't know history well, and they like to reframe history and tell us like how it's going to be. But we're now at a weird point in history where I feel like the, the dog finally caught the car, and I, I don't think the Republicans know what to do with it.I think they finally got what they wanted and now they're like, Oh, all right, let's just go take more . Like, we have nothing else to do. We've already stormed the castle. Let's take more. Which is also a terrifying period of time that we're moving into De'Vannon: mm-hmm. . Yeah. It sucks to be a woman right now. Yeah. [00:41:00] I mean, if I could scoop you all up and whi away to the the, to the island of Lesbos where supposedly so many of you emerge from, you know, I would let y'all just go have all the hot lesbian sex with each other for the rest of the time and just do whatever the fuck you want or invite occasional deck over or whatever.And so, but that's not gonna happen. So whatever I can to stand in solidarity with, with you women, folk, I'm more than happy to do. Stuart: And the sad part of it is with all of this is that it is really all a show with conservatives. I, I've I re this is years back when I, when I was at a pastor's meeting in our community, I was in, and this one pastor used to love to brag about how they would go and picket abortion clinics.And about what great work they're doing in the church. And I remember afterwards I didn't like call 'em out in front of it, but I was like, Hey, like, wouldn't it be easier? Like, wouldn't it be more Christlike to go and be like, Talk to these young women, say like, Our families will take your [00:42:00] children in.If that's really what you care about, we, we'll pay for your medical. We'll do all of this. And literally, after I do this whole thing with the music, man, that's too much work. He literally told me that. I mean, not in front of anybody else, but he told me in my face, Oh, that's too much work. So essentially picketing and shaming people, that's God's work.Caring for the children and the women that are in these situations, eh, it's inconvenient. And you know, he kind of said the quiet part out loud, but it's what so many folks, so many folks I think are in that weird dichotomy of this is evil. All right, well if you think it's evil, how could you fix it? I don't wanna fix it.It's too much work. De'Vannon: Sounds about Republican. Yeah. Because, you know, they only need, and I just wanna remind people that there is no national religion. The, the last time that I checked, this is not like the Middle East or something where we are officially the Nation of Islam, or everyone here is a Muslim.The, the United States is not supposed to be that way. Everyone here, this [00:43:00] is not a Christian nation. Mm-hmm. , but don't really like the fact that we have God on money and his name is invoked. Personally. I liked hearing about God since I follow him, but at the same time, we don't have a national religion.And so really, I think everyone should be left to themselves. But Stuart: Well, and God, we trust wasn't even added to the money until like the fifties. So again, like this is when they get all mad, like, Oh no, it's, it's this recent history. You guys, you've put a bunch of dbags about this. De'Vannon: And I'm sure that was, there was some sort of political advantage to that at the times.They wouldn't have just done that out of a love for God Stuart: because, Oh, even that, even, I mean, how you hear a sock about it, how the prayers been taken out of school. I, this is what's burned me. How do you take prayer out of school? Like, are you like, Oh wait, hey Johnny, your eyes are closed. Are you praying?Stop it. No, Maybe they took public ative school, which public prayer a lot of times is fairly useless. I feel like it's just pageantry and [00:44:00] speeches, but they, they don't understand even what they're saying, I De'Vannon: think anymore. And the thing that gets me about like the Republicans and the evangelicals, you know, as you're saying, they only wanna take their agenda as far as it goes to achieve whatever their end goal is, which is to be reelected.So ban this, Ban that, okay, I have more power, you know, fuck 'em. If we care that same mindset, people who are on drugs, people who have certain sicknesses and stuff like that, you know, let's just be against it. You know, let's just lock 'em up and stuff. Mental health issues, but we're not really gonna fix it.Like, it's absolutely senseless to me, like in my case, to lock me in jail for, carry a bunch of meth on me, or for getting caught high, or whatever the reasons people may be in there. But you're not gonna rehabilitate me for all that time. I'm just gonna get it back out. I'm gonna do the same shit. Mm-hmm.So, but when these people, these Republicans and these supposed Christians, all they, their talk is always about how they can change someone else. I never hear them say, [00:45:00] You know, and at least in those sincere way they talk about their relationship with God. You know how they love him or what the spirit is doing in their life and you know what's going on with them.You know, it's always about how we can go and fuck with people over here. Yep. But, but the Lord already told them that there's gonna be many people that says to him in that day talking about when they stand before the judgment thrown, we cast out devils in your name and we did this and we, we fucked with this person and we banned this.And the Lord told you that He's gonna tell you that depart from him, you, he, because you never knew him. You were too busy putting your energy into changing other people that you never bothered to cultivate a true relationship with the Stuart: Lord. I, I think you're right. I mean, I think in so many ways, and that's been one of like growing up as a kid around church, you learn how to do church.Like, you learn how to act, you learn how you're supposed to show up and do. And then even working in ministry for years, it was like, again, it's like a, it's a higher level of knowing what you have to [00:46:00] do. But, but some of the biggest growth I've had is, is, is that internal work. You know, it's, it's that internal space that it's not about performing, it's not about that.Some of it is about . Yeah. About seeking the god of the universe. Some of it's about learning to heal broken places within me and, and being able to do the work to, to, to process through all of that. But I think it, it takes a lot of contemplation and introspection, which I, I, I, again, I don't feel like a lot of modern day Christianity, at least in America, pushes a lot of contemplation and deep thought.And, and also they do a terrible job with mental health cuz a lot of time it's just pray it away. You're depressed, we'll pray for you. Hmm. That's not gonna always fix things. , sometimes you need to go to a counselor and that's okay. Or a therapist. De'Vannon: Yeah. Right. That's like that shit. There was a politician some damn where, and there was like a shooting that happened and like, or maybe [00:47:00] they had like a really bad trouble with like people getting shot, but this one lady's son had got shot like in his neck when a bullet came in the house.And the, this politician, I think it was in Kentucky, you know, he got on TV and he was like, I have a solution. We're all gonna pray and . Stuart: Yeah. Yeah. That's, that that, that's been one thing that has like gotten me like for, for the longest time I think prayer had been set up as some sort of like, almost like a, just dropping a penny in like a fountain kind of a thing.And, and one thing I've grown in as they've kind of grown processing myself, spirituality in spiritually and kind of walk with God is that if we're praying for a problem that we can already fix, I think God's gonna be like, Why are you talking to me about this? You know what I mean? Like, you have it within you already to do it.You're just being lazy and you don't wanna do it. We'd rather just punt and just say, All right, God's gonna do it because it makes us feel better for the moment. De'Vannon: But you know it.[00:48:00]Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, so, so, so much of what, you know, the church has preached these days is about like, either against people or the acquisition of things. Mm-hmm. . And so, which still takes your attention outside of yourself, but, you know, the Lord said that you can gain the whole world and lose your soul.He says you can take a whole city and not be able to control yourself. There's so many warnings, you know, in the Bible about being mindful about, you know, redirecting your attention, getting back the center mm-hmm. . So, so don't get so caught up on going, knocking on people doors, trying to convert them, or trying to go and get rich.When you forsake the thing that's the most important, which is your own damn self improvement. And so, I don't know, the Lord already has beat this dead horse all throughout all the scriptures. I don't think Republicans really read the fucking Bible, but I don't know. It's [00:49:00] already been said either, either y'all hardheaded asses are gonna listen, are you not?And when I say y'all's hardheaded asses, I'm not talking about my base. You know, my beautiful cus listeners and my audience, I'm talking about the, the, the conservative person who happened across this show, . Stuart: And that's Yes. Who, who, who ends up seeing, like being able to use scripture as a weapon against people, which it was never meant to be that way.We've got cloer passages, we've got all sorts of other stuff that people use Scripture and, and it's not meant to be. In that way. De'Vannon: Mm-hmm. . But when people are insecure and shit and they're not whole on the inside, then that's just a form of abuse. You know, they may not be taking their fists and punching someone in the face, but using a scripture to punch someone in the spirit or in the heart, it's still abuse so Stuart: well, and so much of that's taught where there's just like, I think we, we make everything so binary, like, you're good or you're bad.Like this is either good or bad. And we take like, any kind of [00:50:00] gray thinking or any middle ground or context out of situations, because a lot of folks read scripture without context, which is a terrible way to read scripture without understanding what else is happening, Like what is the author trying to convey, all those kind of a things.But I, I, I feel like that we get taught to do all of this, and then at some point, if we're just told, we're all sinful, we're all terrible, and God's not happy with us. Well, I can see a system where people be like, Well I don't, I don't sin or quote unquote sin like he does. So I can really push that cuz it makes me feel better.And then the worst folks that would say that, and again, quote unquote sin because I think that we've used sin very incorrectly in lots of different ways, but where people would be like, Yes, I don't struggle with that, but I really do struggle with that and I don't like what you're doing with your lifestyle even though I really wanna live that lifestyle.So somehow I'm gonna continue to do this and just be a big f and hypocrite in the whole process. So RINs and repeat RINs and repeat for American Christianity. De'Vannon: I want [00:51:00] you to talk about, from the documentary you were talking about how, how Oral Roberts had laid hands on you trying to heal you of asthmaAnd he, I think he forced you to lay on the ground. I've had this happen to me before, certain churches, but you actually were not healed of asthma. And give people background on who Oral Roberts is. Ah, Stuart: I'll give you just snippet in my background. Again, I told you conservative, conservative, conservative.When I was three years old, my I, a sister that was born that was severely like autistic and especially back in eighties, nobody knew what to do with it. So my mom's answer is, We gotta get her healed, right? Fix. We have to fix this because that's what we do. We want to have like a nice little middle class family.We need to fix it. So they would drag, she would drag me around cause my dad wouldn't go cuz he was a good conservative. But she would drag me around with her and my sister to tent meetings, revivals. Eventually we end up with, or Roberts or Roberts again, counter prosperity preacher before the time kind of a thing back in the day.But again, Griffy and all sorts of other fun stuff. [00:52:00] And so then I found myself, I think I'm probably about seven at the time I was, look, I was a kid, grew up with asthma, and my mom just like shoves me in line, doesn't tell me anything. She just shoves me in this line to like get marched up on the stage and I, I figure out what's happening.But again, I'm standing there and they're. Do like the hand to the head, like an asthma, You're healed. Cuz they, Oh cuz what they did is they wrote, they asked me what my problem was and I had a card to my hand and I had to write down asthma. So like I hand it to a dude, he whispers the oral and then, you know, which again that name, I just feel so weird about it anyways.But , it just feels like a pet name. He had a whole background, I don't know, continuing on, but yeah. Or Roberts. So yeah, whispers, asthma grabs my head, pushes me back and I'm not trying to be like, I was a kid wanting to be like, I want God to heal me. And he pushes me back and I just step back and I keep standing there cause I'm like, I don't feel any different.And then, so it happened like a few times eventually to where they had these guys kind of like, they push me where they kind of made sure they caught me and pulled me [00:53:00] back cuz hey man, he's healed. And I'm like, I, I knew as a seven year old, I need my inhaler. I'm not healed. But then the answer for my mother was, Oh, you just didn't have enough faith, which is the loop hold.They put you into that trap with. If it didn't work, not my fault, it's yours. You didn't have enough faith, which again, is hugely abusive, especially to children and actually any human to say that, yeah, if only you had enough faith, God would've fixed you, but not sucks to be you. De'Vannon: It reminds me of a lot of bullshit that I heard when I, I was watching a, again, another documentary on Netflix to keep sweet prey and obey documentary.Is that good? I Stuart: haven't, I haven't, I haven't dipped my toes in that one yet. De'Vannon: I bing the whole damn thing. . So you dip your toes, your dick and everything else in it. I, it is worthy. Okay. Thank you. And, and that, so that [00:54:00] documentary all is about the I think the fellowship of Latter Day Saints Jeff's, you know, the them people and people living offensive seclusion and, you know, 50 wives and a shitload of children and everything like that, and so on and so forth.It's, it's, it's, Stuart: they, they're the folks that even the mor, like the, the normal Mormons are like, those folks are crazy. Which youDe'Vannon: So tell me about the time and Oh, and speaking of documentaries, look, is there any documentarians running around out there? You can come recruit me because I'm ready to spill all kinds of tea. I'm ready to bring my mouth and talk. I ain't shy about shit. I'm ready to go on some documentaries. Right. This audition taper here,I will use it. It worked for Steve Harvey before he, yeah, before he had all of his five businesses and shows now when he was still doing standup and stuff. When, when he had a, whenever he had a camera in front of him, he just looked through the camera and said, [00:55:00] Hey, you people who control the shows, I want a talk show.I want, you know, he's looked into whatever camera was in front of him and said what the fuck he wanted and he got it. So, so yes, I wanna be on documentaries. I want my talks yet, I want, but deals. Give me everything. Fuck it. . Tell me about the time you smuggled a Cameron to the Trinity Broadcasting Network.Stuart: That, Okay, so I, I, this is part of me being probably a counter cultural Christian, even back when I was in the mix of it. So I, I'd worked for an evangelistic organization where we would we worked with like at risk street kids type of stuff. And so the whole goal is that we're supposed to just evangelize them, send 'em to the kingdom.But I, that never sat right with me cuz I was like, what are we inviting them into? Like, just pray a prayer so you're not going to hell. And then No, no, I was like, it needs to be, you're inviting someone [00:56:00] into something greater, like a different way of doing it. And so we were, we, I took some of these kids, like street kids, which is hilarious.Like you're taking them down to do missions work in la. So, you know, so their whole idea is I'm spending my spring break helping other people that are doing the, in some like, yes. So when I took them down there, I just I was like, I know TBN is around here. And I told them, I was like, I just wanna take you into the thing that is absolutely not Christianity, , none of this has anything to do with Christianity.And so they let us in, they let us, I didn't even really smuggle it that much. It was mainly just the idea where, I think the guy at the door, I was like, Oh, I'm such a fan. I love this and everything. And he was so great. So I. Essentially just lied. And so he led us with a group of kids in, Cuz I was like, Oh, we wanna show the Youth of America how wonderful this is at TBN Studios.And it led me to walking around and mocking everything on video that I was seeing cuz it is nuts. Spray painted gold toilets, all the other stuff. Like, it's, it's, it's [00:57:00] gross. It was like, yeah, it was like Liberacci had an orgasm somewhere and it is tbn like it was, everything is painted gold. Everything was just over the top like decadent in ways that you're kind of like, what is, is this Vegas?It really felt like Vegas more than it did any kind of a Christian ministry. But like cheap Vegas, whatever that is. , like, we're fake in Vegas, so, so it's more like Reno, I guess. . De'Vannon: But that's a part of the hypnotherapy though, you know, So the basis or, or conditioning, you know, it's all a part of hypnotherapy.And then h therapy, all it means is to overload the conscious mind so that you can gain access to the subconscious. And you do that by simply making the conscious mind focus on more than one thing. Because my conscious mind can only focus on one thing at a time. And so if you've got all of this crazy, fake, opulent shit going on and bitches running around where faces full of clown makeup and the [00:58:00] shouting, and the hollering the music, you don't, you, you, you don't have no ability to be critical unless you intend to be critical.You know, you're, you, you are in conscious overload. Mm-hmm. . And then that's how you become suggestible, as we call it in Hy therapy. Your mind is now in a suggestible state and you will receive what's being presented to you. With much less criticism, if any at all. Stuart: Did you just describe a Sunday morning service?Oh. Oh. Was hidden it there? I'm joking. . But it almost, I mean, that's the whole idea we're we conditioned you to be receptive to what we're saying in, in a weird, manipulative way. I feel like church ends up kind of doing that in their own controlling, non-controlling way. De'Vannon: You know what, say having this discussion right now makes me think about that chant that Joel does before each time he preaches.So he'll get his Bible and wave it around and the whole church will chant with him and he'll say, This is my Bible. I am, I have what it says I have. I am what it says I am. And he'll say, You know, my [00:59:00] mind is opened, My heart is Seth if I'm about to receive, you know? And then there's just this whole thing I'm like, and I'm thinking, Oh my God, this, you know, there was a whole, He was hypnotizing us the whole time.Mm-hmm. . You know, it seems like an innocent group chant and everything like that, but now the shit seems really culty when I look back on it. Mm. Why you can't just get up there and say, What the fuck you gotta say? Why you gotta have us chant with you to, to say that we're now gonna be vulnerable to what you wanna say.Mm-hmm. . Stuart: But it's, it's, it's about Brandon and it's about keep bringing you back every week. You know, It's about, it's again, you mentioned being a drug dealer. This is kind of being like a holy drug dealer, but it's never gonna get you what you want, but it's only gonna give you that taste and keep you coming back every Sunday De'Vannon: with promises of what could be.Mm-hmm. . Stuart: Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. You're wanting to read, you
