Our adventure in The Hostess City of the South continues! We went to Mrs. Wilkes for some down-home cooking, only to be intimidated by lines around the corner on mulltiple days. Eventually, we made it and well, ONE of us thought the country cookin' was worth the wait. It didn't matter, though... it was just one of a hundred stops we made as we continued to eat our way through every block of Savannah over a 3 week span. We dig into the real story behind Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and unearth some of the more salacious details about it you might not know. In the end, we made every minute we spent in our Victorian house count... and even began to shop around for one of our own. More to come on that next week, too. Finally, we come face-to-face with some of the most vile serial killers and cults at Graveface Musem. Were they more scary than Paula Dean's desserts? You gotta listen to find out.

Hey, how are those resolutions going so far? Have you resolved to listen to The Hour every week? We're starting it off strong with a bunch of anti-vaxxers having it their way at a Burger King, and their way is locked up in a jail, but don't worry they all got one surprise onion ring. A guy gets caught in Iowa on his way to from crazy town to Washington where he says he was going to “fight evil.” Ann Arbor residents can smoke pot, take mushrooms, but put the glue away, because sniffing it will get you a fine and some jail time. Thieves in Canada make off with 22 tons of butter, or as Paula Dean calls it, a day's supply. Finally, a grey squirrel goes on a rampage in Wales before it was humanely caught and then murdered. Should Should auld acquaintance be forgot? Maybe, but don't forget about The Hour.

We're going to talk about things that will hit close to home for some. Things that will make some of you uneasy and maybe squirm a bit. Some of you may get triggered. Some may just turn us off, completely. We're discussing the top fears and phobias around the world. We've found the top ten fears around the globe and added a couple more fun ones and weird ones for you and a special one Moody added at the end, just for me. So sit back, grab your emotional support animal, your weighted blankets...perhaps a barf bag, and let's see what makes you fuckers tick while listening to me ruin words! Thanks moody!  First up we have trypophobia. Biological revulsion and culturally learned fears are the primary causes of Trypophobia, which is the extreme and irrational fear of holes. While this fear might seem irrational to ‘normal’ people, the mere sight or thought of holes can set off a panic attack in the Trypophobe. Common things that can trigger trypophobia include:Holes or pebbles in concreteAir holes in a slice of breadPatterns in the frosting of a cake or pieThe head of a lotus flowerThe holes in an old hockey maskSkin problems like sores, scars, and spotsSpotted animalsShower headsLEDs in traffic lights Holes seem disgusting and gross to the sufferer and s/he goes to all lengths to avoid it. Recently American horror story used this phobia to market one of their upcoming seasons and it worked wonderfully by getting  people discussing the poster/ads all over the internet. It's seems like a strange phobia but it's is actually very prevalent in society. Celebs such as Kendell jenner and Sarah paulson ( who's phobia actually inspired the American horror story usage of the phobia) have admitted to having this fear. And it seems around 16% of people admit to having this phobia. But, some scientists are now saying, maybe it's not a phobia after all.That's because, well, it might be rational - and rooted in disgust rather than fear. Trypophobia is poorly understood, and not recognised by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). So researchers at Emory University set out to study the fear response in relation to clusters of holes. But they found that the pupillary response - the involuntary movement of the pupils in the eye - was closer to disgust than the pupillary response to fear. "Some people are so intensely bothered by the sight of these objects that they can't stand to be around them," explained Stella Lourenco, the Emory University psychologist whose lab conducted the study. "The phenomenon, which likely has an evolutionary basis, may be more common than we realise." Previous research conducted in 2013 concluded that the response may be related to the speckled patterns of dangerous animals, such as snakes. But in January 2017, a different explanation was put forward. Researchers at the University of Kent proposed that a pattern of holes, like those that can be found in a lotus pod or honeycomb, arouse our aversion because they resemble parasite infestations, infectious diseases, and decomposition."We're an incredibly visual species," said lead author of this latest study, Vladislav Ayzenberg. "Low-level visual properties can convey a lot of meaningful information. These visual cues allow us to make immediate inferences - whether we see part of a snake in the grass or a whole snake - and react quickly to potential danger." Phobia or not… Many people seem to be affected by this… Are you? 9: Picture the following: you're sitting back settling in for the next few hours. You have a drink, adult or otherwise, a little snack, a good book. A few minutes later you look out the window to see you're 30,000 feet in the air above the countryside cruising along at 500 miles per hour. Crammed into a big metal tube with a hundred or two other people, babies crying, fat guy next to you, crabby flight attendant, drunk pilot…. Sorry I digress. If this is a less than appealing situation for you, the actual flying part anyways, you may have the next phobia on our list. We're talking aerophobia here! Aerophobia is the fear of flying which affects nearly 6.5% of the world’s population. The phobia is usually associated with other fears including Agoraphobia (fear of being unable to escape) and Claustrophobia (fear of small and restricted spaces). Naturally, the fear affects the person’s professional and personal life as air travel is nearly impossible for him/her. The mere thought of an upcoming flight can cause intense distress in the sufferer including nausea, panic attacks, etc. The alcohol and Xanax industry love this phobia. Aerophobia can also mean an irrational fear of fresh air or drafts of air. Again this is a very common fear, the 6.5% seems a bit low to us. Many celebrities are afraid of flying which sucks cus they fly...a fucking lot. Some include Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, R. “pee on young girls” Kelly, Sandra bullock, Colin Farrell, among others. Long time Monday night football announcer and video game namesake John Madden hated flying so much that he had his own personal bus that he would take to his Monday night gigs and wherever else he needed to travel. Breaking Benjamin frontman Benjamin Burnley had to sail from the US to the UK due to his fear of flying. He stated, “It’s just something I’m really not comfortable with. I’d rather die some other way.”  Movies and tv shows often play on this fear to cause unease in the audience. Twilight Zone and Final destination are a couple of the more known examples! For comedy you have the classic Airplane and the classic Airport disaster movie series from the 70s. Also...Alive… Don't watch that before a flight! So what do you guys think… Flying...go or no go? 8: Are you a clean freak? Everything must be clean, sanitized, washed out whatever else, constantly? Constantly using baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Don't think the 5 second rule is a real thing? You may suffer from number 8 on the list. Mysophobia is the irrational fear of germs! If you're like Moody and lick doorknobs to keep your immune system up to snuff you'll be fine, if not… Well sucks for you cus there are germs literally every fucking where. Mysophobia is often closely related to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Many people suffer from both OCD as well as Mysophobia, as a result of which they might indulge in excessive bathing or hand washing. The unhealthy fear of germs causes the phobics to also fear contamination of food or exposure to bodily fluids from those around them. Mysophobia might lead to many complications since the person goes to extreme lengths to avoid all kinds of social situations. Contrary to popular belief, Jeff didn't have mysophobia, he just hates people. Isolation is a common symptom of this phobia. The condition might also give rise to other phobias such as Agoraphobia as well as various anxiety disorders. Howie Mandel, Cameron Diaz, Donald Trump, and Howard Hughes are a few of a bunch of celebrities that suffer from this condition. If you're a mysophobic, we recommend staying away from movies like Cabin Fever, Outbreak, and 12 Monkeys! Not to mention Germ Z from 2013, 28 Days Later, Contagion, The Stand, and if you wanna get crazy you can combine germs and aliens and you have The Andromeda Strain. So listeners… Do you get down and dirty or do you prefer a nice sanitized life? 7: Ever got stuck in an elevator? Did you freak the fuck out? Ever had an mri and have a panic attack? You may be experiencing claustrophobia number 7 on our list of things to fuck with your head. 5-7% of the world population are said to suffer from this phobia. Claustrophobia is a situational phobia triggered by an irrational and intense fear of tight or crowded spaces. It can be triggered by things like being locked in a windowless room, being stuck in a crowded elevator, or driving on a congested highway. Claustrophobia is one of the most common phobias. If you experience claustrophobia, you may feel like you’re having a panic attack, although claustrophobia isn’t a panic disorder. For some people, claustrophobia may disappear on its own. Others may need therapy to manage and cope with their symptoms.      Symptoms of claustrophobia appear following a trigger for the phobia, such as being in a closed room or a crowded space. What you consider a small space can vary depending on the severity of your phobia. When experiencing symptoms of claustrophobia, you may feel like you’re having a panic attack. Symptoms of claustrophobia can include: sweatingtremblinghot flashesfeeling intense fear or panicbecoming anxiousshortness of breathhyperventilationrapid heartbeatchest tightness or painnauseafeeling faint or lightheadedfeeling confused or disorientatedThese symptoms can be mild or severe. Little is known about what causes claustrophobia. Environmental factors may play a big part. People typically develop claustrophobia during childhood or in their teenage years. Claustrophobia could be related to dysfunction of the amygdala (/əˈmɪɡdələ) which is the part of the brain that controls how we process fear. The phobia can also be caused by a traumatic event. Dave Grohl plays in arenas, good thing as he has claustrophobia. Uma Thurman, Woody Allen, Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds, The Beebs( Justin bieber), and rocker Liam Gallagher are all claustrophobic as well. I bet Uma Thurman loved the coffin scene in Kill Bill. Speaking of movies to avoid if you're a claustrophobic… You may want to steer clear of The Descent (amazing movie), Buried (with Ryan Reynolds of all people), Devil, Phone Booth, and anything involving bunkers like 10 Cloverfield Lane. Then you have the likes of Panic Room, Green Room, the hole, and the cube. How many of you guys like being stuck in small spaces? Moody gets stuck in small spaces all the time… But that's cus he's… Well… You know.  6: Do you find yourself inexplicably afraid of Thor? If so you may be like the 2-5% of the world population that suffers from astraphobia or alternately brontophobia. This is the fear of thunder and lightning.  It can affect people of all ages, though it may be more common in children than adults. It’s also seen in animals. Many children who have this fear will eventually outgrow it, but others will continue to experience the phobia into adulthood. Astraphobia can also manifest in adults who didn’t have it as children. Being caught in a thunderstorm or preparing for extreme weather conditions can create reasonable levels of anxiety or fear. In people with astraphobia, thunderstorms cause an extreme reaction that can be debilitating. For people with this phobia, these feelings may be overwhelming and feel insurmountable. Astraphobia is also called: astrapophobiatonitrophobiabrontophobiakeraunophobia Astraphobia is a treatable anxiety disorder. Like many other phobias, it’s not officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as a specific psychiatric diagnosis. In people without this phobia, news of an impending storm may lead you to cancel or relocate outdoor plans. Or if you find yourself in a lightning storm, you may seek shelter or move away from tall trees. Even though the chances of getting hit by lightning are slim, these actions represent an appropriate response to a potentially dangerous situation. A person with astraphobia will have a reaction that goes beyond these seemingly appropriate acts. They may have feelings of panic, both before and during a storm. These feelings can escalate into a full-blown panic attack, and include symptoms such as: all-over body shakingchest painnumbnessnauseaheart palpitationstrouble breathingOther symptoms of astraphobia may include: sweaty palmsracing pulseobsessive desire to monitor the stormthe need to hide away from the storm, such as in a closet, bathroom, or under the bedclinging to others for protectionuncontrollable crying, particularly in childrenThe person may also understand that these feelings are overblown and irrational without the ability to curtail them. The only two celebrities we could find with this phobia are the human skeleton herself, Madonna and Rafael nadal. She's afraid of thunderstorms, and food maybe. She's a nut job. And he… Well… He plays tennis. At any rate if you suffer from this you may want to avoid movies like Twister, the day after tomorrow, any of the Thor movies, and The Perfect Storm. Also skip these bangers: super cyclone, weather wars, polar storm, final storm and airspeed.  5: Dogs or cats? It's the age old debate! If you you say dogs… Well done. If you say cats… Well you're wrong… and you may have cynophobia. The fear of dogs is another popular fear. Cynophobia comes from the Greek words that mean “dog” (cyno) and “fear” (phobia). A person who has cynophobia experiences a fear of dogs that’s both irrational and persistent. It’s more than just feeling uncomfortable with barking or being around dogs. Instead, this fear may interfere with daily life and trigger a number of symptoms, like trouble breathing or dizziness. Cynophobia affects some 7 to 9 percent of the population. It is formally recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Cynophobia falls under the “animal” specifier. Around a third of people who seek treatment for specific phobias have an irrational fear of either dogs or cats. Researchers estimate there are more than 62,400,000 dogs living in the United States. So your chances of running into a dog are relatively high. With cynophobia, you may experience symptoms when you’re around dogs or even when you’re just thinking about dogs. Symptoms associated with specific phobias are highly individual. No two people may experience the fear or certain triggers in the same way. Your symptoms may be physical, emotional, or both. Physical symptoms include: trouble breathingrapid heart ratepain or tightness in your chestshaking or tremblingdizziness or lightheadednessupset stomachhot or cold flashessweating Emotional symptoms include:panic or anxiety attacksintense need to escape situations that trigger feardetached feeling from selfloss of controlfeeling you may pass out or diefeeling powerless over your fearChildren have specific symptoms as well. When exposed to the thing the child fears they may: have a tantrumcling to their caregiverOr cry For example, a child may refuse to leave a caregiver’s side when a dog is around. Nearly 36% of sufferers seek treatment for Cynophobia and the majority of these are also known to be afraid of cats. The extreme fear of dogs is actually even more debilitating than the fear of spiders and the fear of snakes due to the fact that dogs are commonly present in most residential areas. Nearly 75% of Cynophobes are women, though the fear also affects men. One of those men was the king of pop… Michael Jackson himself. Sharing his fear are: Bobby Brown, cus damnit it's his prerogative(correct spelling, blew my mind), and Woody Allen. Pretty sure Woody Allen has every one of these by the way. If you're a cynophobe we  would strongly recommend skipping the movie Cujo. Also should probably skip Man's Best Friend, The Breed, and everyone's favorite Frankenweenie.  You may also want to take a flyer on Marley and Me, Adventures of Milo and Otis, Beethoven, Balto, Turner and Hooch and Air Bud. Fuck Air Bud. Guys there is a metric shit ton of dog movies… So you know be warned. 4: Do you feel uneasy in a big crowd? Hate going to concerts? Big festivals and sitting events freak you out? Are you anxious when you find yourself in wide open spaces? There's a good chance you could be agoraphobic. Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed. You fear an actual or anticipated situation, such as using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line, or being in a crowd. The anxiety is caused by fear that there's no easy way to escape or get help if the anxiety intensifies. Most people who have agoraphobia develop it after having one or more panic attacks, causing them to worry about having another attack and avoid the places where it may happen again. People with agoraphobia often have a hard time feeling safe in any public place, especially where crowds gather. You may feel that you need a companion, such as a relative or friend, to go with you to public places. The fear can be so overwhelming that you may feel unable to leave your home. Agoraphobia treatment can be challenging because it usually means confronting your fears. Typical agoraphobia symptoms include fear of: Leaving home aloneCrowds or waiting in lineEnclosed spaces, such as movie theaters, elevators or small storesOpen spaces, such as parking lots, bridges or mallsUsing public transportation, such as a bus, plane or trainThese situations cause anxiety because you fear you won't be able to escape or find help if you start to feel panicked or have other disabling or embarrassing symptoms. In addition: Fear or anxiety almost always results from exposure to the situation. Your fear or anxiety is out of proportion to the actual danger of the situation. You avoid the situation, you need a companion to go with you, or you endure the situation but are extremely distressed. You experience significant distress or problems with social situations, work or other areas in your life because of the fear, anxiety or avoidance. Your phobia and avoidance usually lasts six months or longer.  Maybe Jeff is actually agoraphobic… Probably just hates people still though.  It doesn't seem like many celebrities would be able to be celebrities and have agoraphobia, maybe that's why most of the ones we've found are artists and poets, with a couple actors mixed in. Writer Philip K. Dick who's novels were adapted into awesome sci-fi movies like, total recall, blade runner, a scanner darkley, and minority report was extremely agoraphobic. Same can be said of fellow writers Emily dickinson, Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House), and sci-fi writer  H.L. Gold. Artist Edvard Munch of The Scream fame suffered as well. Musician Brian Wilson,  actress Kim Basinger, tv chef and noted racist who loves butter Paula Dean, and everyone's favorite child actor Macaulay Culkin also all suffer from agoraphobia.  Just remember, just cus you hate people doesn't mean you're agoraphobic! 3: Do you get shakey on top of a ladder? Do you loath doing roofing? Tightrope walking over Niagara falls a no go? Sounds like you suffer from acrophobia, the fear of heights! Acrophobia is an extreme or irrational fear or phobia of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort, that share both similar causes and options for treatment. Most people experience a degree of natural fear when exposed to heights, known as the fear of falling. On the other hand, those who have little fear of such exposure are said to have a head for heights. A head for heights is advantageous for those hiking or climbing in mountainous terrain and also in certain jobs such as steeplejacks or wind turbine mechanics. By the way, A steeplejack is a craftsman who scales buildings, chimneys, and church steeples to carry out repairs or maintenance. Steeplejacks erect ladders on church spires, industrial chimneys, cooling towers, bell towers, clock towers, or any other high structure. People with acrophobia can experience a panic attack in high places and become too agitated to get themselves down safely. Approximately 2–5% of the general population has acrophobia, with twice as many women affected as men. Traditionally, acrophobia has been attributed, like other phobias, to conditioning or a traumatic experience. Recent studies have cast doubt on this explanation. Individuals with acrophobia are found to be lacking in traumatic experiences. Nevertheless, this may be due to the failure to recall the experiences, as memory fades as time passes. To address the problems of self report and memory, a large cohort study with 1000 participants was conducted from birth; the results showed that participants with less fear of heights had more injuries because of falling. More studies have suggested a possible explanation for acrophobia is that it emerges through accumulation of non-traumatic experiences of falling that are not memorable but can influence behaviours in the future. Also, fear of heights may be acquired when infants learn to crawl. If they fell, they would learn the concepts about surfaces, posture, balance, and movement. Cognitive factors may also contribute to the development of acrophobia. People tend to wrongly interpret visuo-vestibular discrepancies as dizziness and nausea and associate them with a forthcoming fall. A traumatic conditional event of falling may not be necessary at this point.     Another possible contributing factor is a dysfunction in maintaining balance. In this case the anxiety is both well founded and secondary. The human balance system integrates proprioceptive, vestibular and nearby visual cues to reckon position and motion. As height increases, visual cues recede and balance becomes poorer even in normal people. However, most people respond by shifting to more reliance on the proprioceptive and vestibular branches of the equilibrium system. We're not sure which one of these causes Matt Damon to be afraid of heights… But he is… well… a pussy. Also suffering from acrophobia are Sheryl crow, toby Macguire, Liam Neeson, and maybe Sly Stallone but that hasn't been confirmed. There are many movies that you should probably avoid if you have this phobia, including Cliffhanger, the Walk, Man On A Wire, and a bunch of scenes from the mission impossible movies and die hard films, Not to mention the classics Vertigo and High Anxiety! 2: This next fear is a very common one. Bunch of scaredy cats out there that can't deal with creatures that don't have any legs. That's right… worms… oh wait… Sorry wrong notes… Snakes!! Number two on our list slithers right into your hearts. It's known as ophidiophobia, and it affects nearly a third of the adult human population… That's crazy… a third of the adult human population!!! So Moody ran the numbers and came up with roughly 1.8 billion people give or take, that's for people in the world over the age of 15. Most people with Ophidiophobia can lead normal lives as they do not have to confront the object of their fears under normal circumstances. However, for people with severe Ophidiophobia, the mere mention, or an image of a snake in books or on TV can lead to an intense fear response, the reactions of which can even include heart attacks and death.  Snakes are fascinating creatures that have always had myths associated with them. These myths are the major reason why humans fear them. This and the fact that some snakes are deadly and venomous and can lead to deaths have probably led to Ophidiophobia. Some causes are: Ignorance and lack of education is one of the most common reasons why humans fear snakes.Traumatic episodes in the past such as accidently stepping on a snake or being bitten, hissed at or otherwise threatened by snakes might have led to one’s Ophidiophobia.Seeing or witnessing an incident wherein another person, a close friend or family member was hissed at, or bitten by a snake can also lead to the fear of snakesMedia reports and TV shows can also lead one to believe that snakes are always dangerous leading to Ophidiophobia.Genetic traits, family history with ophidiophobic persons etc can also lead other family members to have an intense fear of snakes.Evolution is another reason behind this phobia. Many evolutionary psychologists explain Ophidiophobia as a ‘disgust response’ to snakes that have always been associated with death, disease or poison. The American Psychiatric Association has described the following symptoms of Ophidiophobia which can be categorized as mental, physical or emotional: Uncontrollable anxiety especially when one is about to be exposed to snakesFeeling that one must do anything to avoid snakesScreaming, crying or experiencing the difficulty to breathe, or trembling or shaking violently when one encounters snakes, their pictures or images on TV etc.Feeling anxious or experiencing increased heart rate when taken to locations where snakes may be present. Ophidiophobia can affect a person’s normal life especially when he/she avoids zoos or friends’ homes where there are pet snakes. Ophidiophobics refuse to leave their homes in places that have a high snake population. Now it's safe to say that a bunch of our listeners are afraid of snakes given the numbers, but as stated you're obviously not alone. You keep good company as Matt Damon makes another appearance on our list alongside Justin Timberlake and his one time gal Brittney spears. As far as movies go there's the obvious… All those muthafuckin snakes on that muthafuckin plane! Also there's the one about that tiny snake called anaconda. You should take a flyer on Jaws Of Satan, King Cobra, Piranahconda, and Python. Also skip Hiss, Venom(not the superhero flick) and Vipers. And who could forget the cinema masterpiece Mega python vs. Gatoroid!!! At any rate there's a shitload of movies to avoid if you hate snakes… So good luck. 1: that brings us to number 1…. The big numero uno. They're creepy… They're crawly… They're sometimes hairy… sometimes venomous, some eat bugs… some eat birds… Some are barely visible while some are as big as dinner plates.. That's right… Spiders! Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders! Arachnophobia means more than being scared of spiders and other forms of arachnids. It is an intense, paralyzing fear where someone actively avoids contact with spiders. This fear extends beyond meeting an arachnid in real life. Even mentioning or seeing pictures of spiders can trigger a fear response in people with arachnophobia. Although someone may fear a spider’s appearance, research suggests many people primarily fear how they move. Arachnophobia is an extreme fear of spiders and other arachnids. It is one of the more common types of phobias. Arachnophobia, like many phobias, often develops during childhood.A specific phobia is an irrational fear of something unlikely to cause danger.This fear extends beyond meeting an arachnid in real life. Even mentioning or seeing pictures of spiders can trigger a fear response in people with arachnophobia. Although someone may fear a spider’s appearance, research suggests many people primarily fear how they move. CausesSpecific phobias, such as arachnophobia, tend to develop in childhood. Although there is no single trigger for arachnophobia, there are theories that suggest why it might develop. Some of these are: EvolutionaryEvolutionary theory suggests people develop arachnophobia due to an evolved preparedness in dealing with potential threats. One study tested this to see if arachnophobia is inherent in our nature. Researchers presented a group of 6-month old infants with images of flowers, birds, spiders, and snakes. Upon seeing the pictures of spiders and snakes, the infants’ pupils dilated, which indicated their fear responses had activated. Social theoriesAnother theory is that people’s fear of spiders is learned. For example, the media often depicts spiders as scary and potentially dangerous. In addition, if a person grows up in an environment where their parents are scared of spiders, this may become a learned behavior, and the child could also develop the same fear. Past experienceIf a person has a previous unpleasant or traumatic experience with a spider, this may cause arachnophobia to develop. SymptomsThere are several symptoms that accompany arachnophobia, and they are typically similar to those of a panic attack. Some of the physical signs include: dizzinessnauseasweatingshakingincreased heart ratefaintingbreathing difficultyA person with arachnophobia may also show some of the following behaviors: avoiding situations where spiders may be, such as television shows, forests, or shedsoverestimating the chances of encountering a spiderrunning, screaming, or crying if they see a spiderbecoming so scared, they freeze in place. Y'all being afraid of funny little things that you can squish with a shoe are silly.. But then again you're in good company! Justin Timberlake is back again, Halle Berry makes an appearance, Johnny Depp is afraid of spiders… Among other things, Rafael Nadal is afraid of a ton of shit including Spiders, and there are more but that list would probably take awhile. You know who's not afraid of Spiders… John Goodman… And really the only movie worth mentioning here would be the fucking mother of all spider flicks… arachnophobia. I mean are there any others? I mean there are but whatever. Ok fine… Don't watch the following if you're spiderly challenged: 8 legged freaks, the 2013 modern classic Big Ass Spider, Lavalantula and it's phenomenal sequel 2 Lava 2 Lantula( yes those are real), Ice Spiders, 1958s Earth vs. The Giant Spider, Tarantula, and possibly the most frightening movie involving Spiders… Charlotte's Web.  Also, some crazy shit! scientists have recently discovered that spiders have started moving into cars and houses at an alarming rate since the Covid 19 pandemic began. According to a recent Harvard study, you are 78% more likely to have a spider crawling on or around you at this very moment as opposed to one year ago. The study also says that most of you probably looked around and feel like a complete asshole for believing my bullshit! I’m a liar… but that felt good. Sorry, not sorry. Well there it is… The top ten fears and phobias around the world. But you know us… That's not good enough around here. We gotta find some of the strangest fears and phobias. Let's give you a quick run down of some of the craziest ones. There's going to be a bunch of fun words for Me to fuck up plus, apparently Mr Moody put a treat at the end for me. Oh boy. Ablutophobia is the fear of bathing, washing, or cleaning. At least you'd know who has this one…. Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. While the phenomenon has happened to everyone at one point or another, people with arachibutyrophobia are extremely afraid of it. The severity of arachibutyrophobia varies from person to person. Some with this condition may be able to eat small amounts of peanut butter while others will avoid eating peanut butter or anything with the consistency of peanut butter altogether. Nomophobia is the fear of being without your mobile phone. People with nomophobia experience excessive anxiety about not having their phone with them, their battery being low or their phone being out of service. Regardless of the circumstances, not being able to use their phone causes people with nomophobia to become panicked and experience extreme symptoms of anxiety. Optophobia is a fear of opening one’s eyes. This fear can be extremely debilitating, as it is hard for an individual to carry out daily activities without opening their eyes. People with optophobia may prefer to stay indoors or in dimly lit areas. This phobia is usually associated with a generalized anxiety disorder. Like so many other phobias, this fear is usually the result of a traumatic incident. Omphalophobia is a fear of belly buttons. People with omphalophobia will avoid seeing or touching belly buttons, even their own. They might even put a bandage over their belly button to avoid looking at it. They will sometimes avoid places where belly buttons might be exposed, like the beach. Pogonophobia is a fear of beards. This usually stems from an alarming incident with a bearded person. It could also arise from a person not liking that a beard hides someone’s face. People with pogonophobia will avoid people with beards and may even have anxiety when looking at a picture of someone with a beard. They usually will not be friends with someone who has a beard and will feel extremely nervous when talking to someone who does. Vestiphobia is a fear of clothing. For many people, this manifests as a fear of a specific garment. For others, it might come from a fear of tight-fitting clothing that causes them to feel restrained. In other cases, it is a fear of all clothing. Vestiphobia can arise from an allergy to a specific type of fabric or a traumatic event associated with a certain piece of clothing. For example, there have been cases where former soldiers develop a fear of military clothing.Eisoptrophobia is a fear of mirrors, sometimes also referred to as spectrophobia or catoptrophobia. People with this fear are unable to look at themselves in a mirror. This fear may also extend to any reflective surface. This fear may stem from superstitions about mirrors. For instance, a person may be afraid of breaking a mirror as they believe it will cause them bad luck. Others may fear that they will see something supernatural in a mirror, such as a ghost. In some cases, eisoptrophobia develops from low self-esteem, where a person is ashamed of their physical appearance and therefore does not want to see it in a mirror. In some cases, it can lead to depression. Then there's good ol phobophobia. Phobophobia is a fear of phobias. This can be described as free-floating anxiety, where a person spirals in a circle of anxiety from fearing fear itself. In that respect, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Phobophobia is commonly co-diagnosed with other types of specific phobias and is often associated with anxiety disorders. People with phobophobia will often avoid social situations or other situations that can lead to anxiety. When extreme, it will greatly interfere with an individual’s everyday life. And finally we get to Moody’s gift to me and my favorite phobia of all time:Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a fear of long words. Ironically, it is also the longest word in the dictionary. Another name for this phobia is sesquipedalophobia. This phobia is thought to develop from being embarrassed by pronouncing long words incorrectly. This may occur while reading aloud in front of the class as a child. The phobia can also be common in people with dyslexia. Fuck you, Moody!!

If you have no indoor seating, what are you going to do, Dave? You know how bored we all are? How bored are we? We are so bored that Netflix has put on supermarket sweep from the eighties that I’m watching. Aye. Okay. It’s it’s bad enough that it’s on. It’s worse that you’re watching. Do you remember? Oh yes, no, I do. Are you, are you about to say, do you remember the time? Nope. No. So I was going September. Actually. You were going to Michael Jackson, but that’s okay. Here’s how bad this show is. Like the guy that’s really the guy, the host is dead inside. Like you’re watching all, you can tell he’s reading cue cards. And he had such High hopes of being gene, Rayburn of being, you know, the guy from Joker’s wild of being Pat say Jack, but no, he’s the supermarket sweeps guy. That’s that’s the gig. He landed. If you can hear it in his inflection, how daddy is. Oh yeah. Oh, he’s, he’s not, he’s not, well, someone should check on him and see if he’s doing okay. Who’s dressing these people. These people were wearing different colored sweatshirts, like a purple and a pink and orange. One with white polos underneath with the collar flipped out. Like, I mean, like which of these three items, Bob? Bob, it was, it was the eighties. People wore that. I didn’t say you did. I didn’t, but people who were that, it was a thing. No, Mark did the best line. And he goes out and white is all the women on the show look like Marcy Darcy. Oh, they absolutely do. They. Yeah, no, I’ve, I’ve clicked through a couple episodes. It’s they? They absolutely do Part of like, you have to load up your shopping cart and get the most expensive crap. So like everyone, all they have is these cards full of hams and diapers. They run to the meat aisle and load up on all of the, like the roasts and the ribs and the, and the hams and the Turkey. They just it’s. It’s ridiculous. It’s yeah. If you’ve never seen it and you want to see the kind of shit that we were stuck with in the eighties could go check out supermarket sweeps and, and, and then, and then feel bad for us. And they’re getting I’m like, why don’t they go after the scallops instead of the hams, then they’re in the diaper. I’m like, why don’t they go after the Similac and not the diapers they got in the shopping cart, they got to fail. You know what I mean? Anyway, I can’t believe that that’s on Netflix. Who knows? I would love to know what they paid for the rights to it. Like, I don’t know what six bucks, six bucks I, who, who even knows, uh, what, uh, God, there was something else that was on here. Oh, I, uh, and speaking of eighties and, and I’m, I’m kinda mad about this, um, uh, Fletch, reboot, dude, uh, Fletch, reboot, starring, starring captain madman. Yeah. John ham. Not, uh, not, not, not, not feeling this, not, not feeling this at all. Can’t they just make a movie, John ham. That’s kind of like, but isn’t like a spirit, a reboot. Here’s the thing. Or if it’s his nephew, like, remember like my Ghostbusters with the women. Yeah. I would have loved it if it would have just been like, Hey, The kids or the, yeah, yeah. The nephew did this thing and then we’re going to do it too. Like if it’s just a rip off With the newest one, which is it’s the grandkid and his friends, I think it’s, Egan’s grandkid. Oh, the ghost busters. Yeah. After everyone screams at them, I don’t know why we didn’t do that. We were stupid dirt, Peter. Yeah. PR was a long time dream of mine to produce this film with John, give me a break. Like honest to God. It couldn’t have been one. And reading that whole story about how they had a Kevin Smith attached to it. And he really wanted Jason Lee in the role, which honestly I could see like that, that makes more sense. That makes a shit ton more sense to me than John ham. Uh, you know, and then a good old Harvey Weinstein, uh, put the kibosh on that, uh, and demanded that Ben Affleck take the role. Uh, and which again, I, I can’t see Ben Affleck, like I said, you can’t have like a stereotypical, but I mean, Affleck’s always been kind of a pretty boy. You can’t have a pretty boy in that role. That’s not what that is, but yeah. To Chevy chase Chevy chase is not a pretty boy. Ain’t nobody on this planet. Call it Chevy. Chase are pretty. Yeah. Good looking for a dad. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He’s you need like kind of the dad. Yeah. I just, whatever I was was not a fan. I’m not going to be a fan. I’m not going to go see it. You know, I wish we would take the Chevy chase kind of like roll, cut. Who’s the guy that plays Barry, um, named just farted on me. I can’t think Barry. And what HBO? The show Barry he’s. He was on SNL. He always does bill. Like I always wished he would get more bigger roles cause I always liked him. Um, but do you want to feel, you want to feel really old by the way? No, I really don’t. Can we stop it? Cause I keep like, all these memes are popping up where Oh yeah. The breakfast club was 37 years ago today. Oh this and that was it. It was 40 years ago today. And to me, mine was 39 years ago today. But go ahead. I know where you’re going and screw you, Jake Ryan, J Ryan, he’s turning 60, not 16, six, zero 60. I feel like they should do one of those. Like, you know, those reunions that are going around, like on all the online reunion and they should do 60 candles and they should, and it should be him and like Molly Ringwald and get them all back together. Uh, you know, Getty, Watson hobby, you know, what’s he doing these days anyway, get him, uh, and, and, and just had to have a little reunion, you know, Anthony might, you know, Anthony Michael Hall will be down to do it. Um, yeah. Yeah. I think 60 candles should happen. And if anybody does that I’m I want it’s mine. I’m just saying that I called it takes her on a date to sign a beef. Carver. They go play bingo. They go to like red naps at three o’clock in the afternoon, or, you know, whatever, like a Denny’s, you know, whatever, you know, he still got the Porsche nine 44, you know, Anthony, Michael Hall walks out with the underwear that are this wide or, you know, or it’s a pair of depends, you know, whatever. I’m just saying, you can do Aliyah. You don’t. Why don’t you write it? You’re bored. I got nothing going on. Yeah, no kidding. You Dawn’s. Um, so I didn’t realize I downloaded tick tock just because it was a thing and I put it on my phone and I, um, I got rid of it and it’s so addicting. It, I didn’t, I thought it was stupid. Like just like the stupid date. Did you need to do dances? And I’m like, half of them were J-Lo in a rod doing stupid stuff and I was like, whatever I’m done. Um, But man, this company that, you know, like they’re seriously under huge scrutiny, did we? Uh, Well, so in the last and I actually had this on there, one of the reasons why I wanted to make sure we through it, we got to this one is because the last week we had said that Amazon banded their employees and forced them to remove it from their phones. Um, they backed up Yeah. Five hours later. Yeah. Um, well, no, because everyone probably a mute need. Cause here’s the thing. People don’t care. Like they really don’t know. I don’t understand people who use work devices for personal things. I just don’t see why that would ever be. I don’t even know that it was necessarily on their work devices. I mean, I think they were telling them they had to have it off their own personal devices. And like basically they didn’t want video taking place in their, in their locations, which on some level I can understand. I mean, back in the day the state department had to ban Furbies, you know, because while they hear things and they remember things and they repeat things and you don’t really want things happening at the state department to get repeated, uh, you know, so you’ve got, you know, a corporate espionage standpoint to it. I can kind of understand it, you know? Oh no, I’m not videotaping this. I’m just making a stupid tick-tock Randy. I own teams for a 6,000 person company be shocked. How many people were like, no, I don’t like my marketing photo. That’s in my active directory. And in my email, I’m going to make it a dog or I’m going to make it my Instagram sexy spec, photo, Olan, mills, looking at me, you know what I mean? And then you tell them, don’t do that and they do it again. Then they, you know, it just, I think it’s just nature. Like you want to make your work PC yours. You know what I mean? Otherwise it’s just kind of like a, you know, but then that’s why you have your own PC, then you don’t need to do all that crap on it. Work on anyway. Exactly. Honestly, one of the coolest stories that came out, not too long after we did our last episode was there’s a jeweler in Michigan that has decided with the whole COVID thing that he’s not going to reopen his store. He’s not going to go through all this nonsense. And so does he clear all of his crap out all the jewelry and then rare coins and all that stuff out through a wholesale or like lot deal? No, he’s gone out with his wife and buried a million dollars, roughly a worth of basically packages. And this is, you know, the one, the first one that’s coming up as $4,000 in value. Um, so he’s buried all these packages with GPS, locators, um, all around the state of Michigan, you know, Metro Detroit, all the way up to the UPP, all that kind of stuff. Um, and he’s running a contest and it’s, uh, Johnny’s treasure quest.com, uh, and he’s selling tickets. And so like, and it’s, you know, kind of in G like, can you do the math and, and he’s gonna make more money than the million dollars worth of stuff just by selling all the tickets for this thing, more power to them. And it kind of gives people, Yeah. Dave, I know you’ve never done it. Randy, have you ever geo cashed? I Feel like I went out a few times with a friend who was into it, but not really my thing. I was always surprised that it didn’t catch on more, cause it always looked intriguing. Yeah. It looked interesting, but the payoff wasn’t enough. Like, Oh, I went 10 miles, you know, through thick forest to find a half to GI Joe action figure. And I want to find a us to find a USB drive that I’m never plugging into my computer ever. You need it. So the tickets are 20 bucks, a piece 40, 40 bucks. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m reading. Um, yeah, the price is $4,000 and then, okay. Yeah. So mean like just a simple, basic math. I mean, you figure, I mean, even if he stuck with $4,000 prizes out of a million dollars, that’s 250 prizes. He sells, you know, 40 tickets, Pete, you know, 40 bucks a piece. I mean he sells 50 tickets to each one of these things and he’s clearing over one and a quarter million at one and a half million dollars. Crap is if it doesn’t create exactly, He, you know, he says right. A pregnant, you know, I’ve got GPS tags and everything. So I know if any of them get moved. Um, you know, so I mean, it’s, I, I think it’s a brilliant way. I mean, it’s unfortunate he’s going out of business cause he’s getting a shit ton of marketing and play out of it. So why not? If you have Daisy, I mean, here’s the thing he does this, he still goes out of business. He said they want it. They want it, you know, cause they’re closing the store or they’re getting rid of the space and they want to just basically just go drive around the country. Yeah. It’s actually not a bad life, 128 prizes for the Oakland County event on, uh, August 15th and that’s already sold out. So he’s got a Mackinac County one now for $65 a ticket. Yeah. So I mean, it’s, it’s, it’s going to be not, it’s good for him. Although I will say this the geniuses of the week and I love, love, love this story because we all did dumb shit when we were kids trying to get our hands on booze. Uh, the kids that are out there that are geniuses taking advantage of the mask regulations, um, and basically throwing a little gray paint in their hair or putting out a full fledged mask, uh, over their faces to make them look older and then slapping a mask over that. Um, and walking into liquor stores and not getting carted. Cause you see a little old grandma walk in who was going to ask her for an ID. Um, yeah. Genius. Yeah. The problem is 80 year old. Grandma’s not buying hypnotic and vodka. She might be, you don’t know, You don’t know what Graham is into. Don’t shout it If it’s cheap whiskey or they’re going to, they’re going to think. So Seagram seven and a bottle of seven up. Yeah. So, you know, back in the day you used to, there was just always that one, like McComb meet. So it was always at one place where you can get a 24 pack of bud light and a two liter of sun country for 20 bucks. It was whatever you could get, whatever you could carry out with 20 bucks. I don’t think those places don’t exist anymore. You know? So yeah. Good, good for them for being uh, uh, you know, Being creative. We’ll give it that. Yes. They’re being creative. My kid ever told me like, yeah, I dressed up like OMA to go to buy booze. I’d be like, you know what? I’m not even mad about it. Good thing. She’s not home. I was going to say, yeah, she’s just going to listen to tonight’s episode and figure it out. That’ll be genius. Uh, where do you want to go now? Uh, anybody interested in a zoom appliance? No, Especially in that for $600. Yeah. Uh, zoom has released this $600 device. It’s got a big screen and three cameras and a microphone. And all it does is connect to zoom. If you’re doing a zoom meeting, don’t you already have a computer or a phone to do it from wouldn’t you rather just have like a $250 Chromebook, You can connect to zoom through and be done with it. Well, and you know, and I feel like, you know, they’re trying to compete with, and, and, and I don’t, I mean, and this really doesn’t, you know, like the, the Facebook appliances or the FaceTime appliances, you know, they’re, I mean, everybody has a little appliance out there, but they’re all like a hundred bucks max that, you know, to help grandma and grandpa stay in touch with the family and that kind of stuff. Yeah. The Google home I bought for my dad, it was like one night. I mean, I just, I don’t get it. I guess maybe like enterprise, you got a CEO who doesn’t know how to check his email and you just send them a thing to plug in and he’s good to go. You know what I bet at all, you know what I bet it is. It’s refurbished, Cisco DX, eighties that they sent the entire company whenever used alas on it entirely possible. Cisco. Yeah. You know, they re cause those things were like three grand at the time. So they’re probably trying to recoup some costs. Um, speaking to that, by the way, um, it wasn’t a news article, but I found out through, uh, some friends of mine that Cisco who’s what, 60, 70,000 employees worldwide killing their offices. None, zero everyone. Like literally don’t blame them. They’re bringing, they’re putting up like four hubs, like Chicago, New York, um, Silicon Valley and like Dallas or Atlanta. So then everybody else is just virtual And that’s it. Well, we all worked from home anyway. Yeah. Um, when we were there and the, the, the office was a ghost town, there was nobody ever in there. Well, and I mean, and that’s the thing. I mean, I think, you know, realistically, you’re gonna see that more and more if, you know, you’ve, you’ve got all these stories coming out about, you know, people letting their employees continue to work from home and it’s going to be our policy from now that that’s the way it’s going to be at least through the end of the year, probably in the next year. Um, or, you know, we’re just saying now it’s going to be forever. That kind of stuff. I mean, and that’s the thing, you know, you, I think we have give it probably not as soon as three months, but like six months, you’re going to start seeing a huge fallout in the commercial real estate market. Um, because you’re going to have a lot of space open up as, I mean, I know two different people that own coworking spaces that have had to completely shift gears, um, on their businesses because nobody’s coworking, nobody’s looking for office space. Nobody’s looking for that stuff right now. Do what I say Space today. Dave, I didn’t look at the space at a online 800 square feet in a coworking space or shared kitchen shared conference room shared, you know, Basically our small studio in Royal Oak. Yeah. A $3,800 a month. Good luck with that. Ooh. You know, you could rent a house for cheaper than that. You can buy half a million dollar house for cheaper than that. Yeah. Yeah. That’s crazy. So the one thing that blew my mind last week and I still don’t, I can’t figure it out and someone needs to figure it out. You guys are smarter than me. I’m like, I thought of something and that’s what that smell is. Yeah. I know. And an ad popped on Facebook and I never looked at it before, Googled it or search for it or anything. That’s just pure coincidence, Bob. That’s good. I’ve never seen this thing before. So I’m going to, I’m going to tell this story. I met my buddies, his new office, and he’s talking about there being a reception area in the front and I’m like, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t. All I was thinking about was, well, instead of hiring a receptionist, I wonder if someone may has like a, um, like an iPad that you can do a check in and they would ring your phone. Like, you know what I mean? Kind of more intuitive than Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And then sure as shit, the first ad that pops up on Facebook when I get in the car, it’s the receptionist and it’s a visitor, check-in thinking about a visitor check-in system reorganization. Well, I mean, so you did have someone in the room that’s that said something about a reception area and a receptionist and that kind of stuff. So, I mean, it’s, it’s not like it was, I mean like that, that context alone would drive that ad. It’s gone that far where it’s somebody, that’s 20 feet away from me, says the word receptionist and that ad pop Listening. Oh great. Now I’m going to get good luck with those ads. Yeah. You get preparation age ads for the next 12 years. Um, and Speaking of who’s not helping. Did you see, did you listen to the burger King ad? I watched it. You shot at it. I watched it. I, uh, I’m. I’m sure Randy can shoot the link out. It’s basically a, uh, a dude in a cowboy suit. Um, it’s a kid it’s like a nine year old singing a song about cows, farting it’s and, and how burger King is helping by, by trying to reduce those, those emissions it’s. Yeah. Like I, I desperately, I desperately want it. It’s a catchy little song. I’m not gonna lie. Um, but I’m dying to know how much money they paid to make that happen. The first three words are when cows fart and burp and splat or Yeah. That’s something that really matters. Yeah. It’s So now he answered me this, as you’re taking a bite of your beef burger, are you just thinking like, is it really well, are you Ralph wiggling right now? Going, getting rid of It’s it’s not ever at the, at the top of my mind and, and, and the other people that are not helping our people stop calling the police department about people not wearing masks, just stop. We’re all HOA presidents. Now. It’s not your, the cops don’t care if you call. It’s not that kind of situation. If the business calls, because the person refuses to wear a mask and then refuses to leave their building, they care. Um, but yeah, but you random person calling the police department about somebody wearing a mask, all you’re doing is bogging down their phone lines, stop it, Come on, Dave. I want to be an HOA president for Well, and then let, and then let’s not forget the, the, the well, and it, and it’s hard to call her the queen of the Karens, cause there’s a new queen, Karen, every freaking week. Um, but the, uh, the lady in San Diego that, uh, took a photo of the barista at Starbucks and said, Oh, you know, this idiot won’t serve me. Cause I’m not wearing my mask and gave the kid a really hard time. And then a GoFund me got set up and the kid wound up getting like a hundred thousand dollars to, you know, donated to him. Uh, yeah. She’s, she’s filing a lawsuit that she wants half of that. Good luck with that. Karen, your name is have money for me causing Yeah, I, yeah, Let me, can you help me out here again? I’m not sure. Smartest guy in the room, you know, that’s obvious. Um, if I see someone that’s not wearing a mask, Um, my first instinct is just to avoid them, to avoid them. Yeah. And like, I don’t understand, like I know everyone’s losing their minds and shit right now, but like, again, I think we talked about it last week, like when you’re in the restaurant and you’re like, thankful that someone’s waiting on you like or giving you your anything. I’m so appreciative of any, anyone that’s giving me my anything right now. Like I can’t imagine following them. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but it’s because you’re a decent human being, Bob. Like our people is our people, this starved for getting clicks. Cause they want, is it become this? Like they see one go viral. So they’re like, I want to get one. I’ve gotten that bad. I think some of it is that. And I honestly, I just think some of it is the I’m helping mentality. Um, and, and then I would think some of it is, you know, people just wanting to be the white Knight, be the savior that’s, you know, saving the establishment and everyone around them by being the one to speak up. Well, the problem is you got 16 year old kids. Like my someone came in to where my daughter works, where she’s waitressing and like, didn’t have a mask. And she did, you know, We went over to the manager and said, Hey, so, you know, And then the managers you can’t expect, like the problem is I hear a lot of these stories are like, the kids are like, Yeah, I’m not confronting a 40 year old dude. Who’s not wearing a mask. Like that’s, that’s not in their job description. Well, people, I mean, like, I’m kind of like, um, literally this, she brings out pancakes was a woman, forget her, forgot her butter. And instead of just going and be like, Oh, that’s okay, sweetie. Like, you know, bring it back. She like calls her retarded and like, like literally like, Oh, she went like until like a third day on the floor. So like she went and told her boss and they’re like banned for life. Like a better lady that comes in here. But I’m like, what would possess you to tell a 16 year old girl that just got her braces removed? I mean, you know what I mean? It’s like, are people losing their mind and she’s waiting on you and least should be thankful you can eat in a restaurant. You know, Dude, I don’t, I have no clue about understanding people at all right now ever. Yeah, No, I thought I knew people and then this forget it. Um, by the way, I know we talked about this a long time ago and we talked about it a couple of times, but, um, Apple and no one cares cause your guys you’re still gonna buy your iPhone. Right. I was like, I’m not They’re they just they’re finally paying up the $500 million settlement after admitting they throttled there On batteries, which, uh, let, let, let’s be clear of which you could be eligible for an entire whole $25. Woo. Um, so basically it’s an iPhone six, six plus Um, yeah. Within specific dates. Yeah. Yeah. It ran iOS Ten.two.one. Um, or later before December 20 verse 17. So like who remembers that shit? What phone you had in 17? Yeah. Yeah. This was from a while ago and you know, they did, it was in the release notes for like the minor point update, but they didn’t really publicize it. And it was designed to keep your phone from crashing because when your batteries diminished, they would rather keep your phone going than draw enough power to, uh, you know, overloaded and cause your phone to crash. So they had a reason to it, but they didn’t really communicate it well to people. And the best part is the URL to submit your claim is smartphone performance, settlement.com. Good luck typing that out with any mistakes. Oh, Hey. Before I forget, I meant to mention this when we were talking about events, um, our buddies, Jamie and Matt that do the man-cave happy hour and our Northville studios and stuff, um, are doing an online event tomorrow, uh, with man-cave happy hour. Uh, they’ve got, uh, like a liquor rep and a few other people in, so you hit the podcast Detroit page. It’s one of the events there. You can check it out, go have fun. Yay. They’re good guys. Exactly. What did you think about the uh, the Bitcoin hackers in what accounts? So I honestly, I, so reading the secondary story that Randy shot across, I mean, it, it, it, they weren’t so much hacked as, as they got a Twitter employee basically to do everything for them. Um, and so, you know, kind of like we talked about, you know, the Snapchat Pat, excuse me, the Snapchat hack, the Instagram hack and all that stuff. They’re not really hacks as much as it is an employee with access to insight, you know, inside use only tools that kind of opens things up and, and gives access to P you know, people access to things. They shouldn’t have access The definition of hacking though, social engineering. I mean, it’s part of, There’s a difference between social engineering and like paying somebody to do something for you. That’s I mean that that’s not hacking that’s that’s, I mean, Even more recent now, I believe they had several insight employees instead of, Yeah. And so, but I mean, like I said, I mean, genius move. I mean, basically what they did is they took over what was it, a couple dozen accounts of like very high profile, like Obama Biden, um, you know, yeah. And a bunch of like really high profile accounts. And all they did was they sent out a tweet that said, Hey, you know, for every 2000, you know, for every thousand dollars donated to this account, um, we’ll go ahead and give away $2,000. And so from what I th they netted $114,000 before this got shut down. So in a process Only like 130 total accounts are compromised. Not all of them manage to tweet out that stuff, but yeah. Well, compared to all the stupid re posts that we see about bill Gates, we’ll give you 30 bucks. If you’re right. I’m surprised it wasn’t more money. You know what I mean? Hey, it was a thing. Mmm. Oh. So you shot this across. It didn’t really, you didn’t have any more info about it. Um, what is this thing about Panera and a $9 a month coffee service? Oh yeah. I just, I saw it on a billboard and I’m like, wow, I’m in the middle of making fun of everything. That’s got asked at the end of it as a service everything’s jeans, as a service, whatever butthole as a service Glitter as a service, we talked about back in the day I was trying. Yeah. So like on the billboard this morning is coffee. Panera’s introducing coffee as a service. It’s basically it’s nine bucks, eight 99 a month subscription. And it’s unlimited coffee. Okay. Coffee. Sure. I mean, no, I started doing the math. Like if you got to go twice a week and get their shitty coffee, cause their coffee sucks anyway. Um, so if you go twice a week, a cup of coffee is like a buck 10. So if you don’t go twice a week. So I think they’re hoping it’s like a gym membership. Yeah. Sign up for it. Then never go. Yeah. We go five days a week. It’s the best deal in town. Yeah. But then you’re drinking Panera coffee five days a week. So I mean, it’s a thing. And so coffee, it’s not even tea watch out for any meeting invites or things. Hey, let’s meet at Panera now. You know why? Yeah. That’s why they’re trying to get you there. Cause they, they fell for this. Why? Because they’re the people signed up for the $9 a month. Coffee service. They get their coffee free. Yeah. It’s the old, it’s the old Mark game. It’s the, uh, Hey, I got buy one, get one free coupon. You buy it. I get it free. That’s not how this is supposed to work. Um, I know we talked last week about the whole like swatting might be a thing and I know this isn’t really considered swatting, but like the fake calls have begun and this one, uh, this one, this kid’s going to be in deep shit. Oh yeah. So, and we did it. We talked about, you know, the, you know, restaurant, it was a couple of weeks ago now I think, you know, restaurants getting phone calls that say, Hey, I was in there. Um, and I’ve popped positive knowing that it’s, you know, they, they essentially have to shut down. Yeah. So this isn’t Luddington, it’s up North and basically a bus boy just simply wanted a day off. Yep. So On their second busiest weekend of the year, traditionally. Yeah. Yeah. A place called timber seafood and steakhouse looks like a nice little place. Um, so basically they shut it down. Do they had a wedding rehearsal? Yeah. Cancel a wedding dinner. They had to. Yeah. Yeah. And it’s like, it’s peak time for them. Yeah. Second busiest weekend. Um, then he confess to it. Um, but it’s now a police matter. That was the end of the story. You’re like, yeah, you’re in, you said deep dude. Yeah. That’s that’s not going to go well for him at all. Um, and, and I mean, for what it’s worth, I mean, I, I mean who’s who is buying a $60 ticket to Orlando at this point, really? Like who, So I just for shits and giggles, I was like, I wonder what plane tickets are. Right. Cause I was, I just looked at Vegas and Orlando and I’m like, sweet, you know, cause Bo’s got a couple of days off at the end of August or whatever. So we’re like, you know, we haven’t taken the kids anywhere. We probably aren’t going to do some looking at cabins up North or whatever at this point. And I’m like, would you believe how much a round trip flight is? And I’m like, it’s 58 bucks to Orlando. She has so many people traveling right now. I’m like, what are you doing stop that? Why would you get in a giant metal tube full of recycled air with strangers right now, especially since they’ve all announced, they’re not doing their social distancing thing anymore. And so they’re packing people in as much as they can probably stop the middle seat thing. Yeah. And Oh, and so the other thing is, did you, did you see what people did with the Disney opening video that they’ve now pulled? Um, they pulled, they pulled that welcome back to Disney video. I’ll shoot you the links. Um, someone said it to, uh, the creepy ass music from the shining. Um, and it was amazing. Uh, somebody else said it too. Uh, don’t fear the Reaper. It was even more amazing. And, and Disney has since taken the video. Am I the only one that’s mad that Rocky Dennis hasn’t made a strong comeback For mask. Nice. That’s nice. Nice. The nineties cartoon mask eighties. Wasn’t It was it got a dot horrible theme song. Yeah. Atrocious. Yeah. No. So yeah, so Disney has now pulled their official video, but the, uh, the, the spoofs and addition and the, the people laying music into it is just absolutely amazing. Um, one of the good stories this week is, uh, you know, Google, sometimes they do great things. Sometimes they do bad things, but this is, I consider this a great thing. Um, basically they announced a 100,000 scholarships for online certificates in data analytics, project management and UX. Apparently there’s a, I don’t know why they pick those three, if there’s a big gap in those big, probably a big demand for them, but it’s a, you know, it’s a, it’s created, they’re created and taught by Google employees, uh, that could be completed in three to six months and they’re offered through Coursera. Um, and basically Google says it will consider all of its certificates as equivalent of a four year college degree for related roles at the company. Like that’s, you know, granted, I went through the whole, uh, trying to get hired at Google. Yeah. The five month process. Yeah, I was three, but yeah, it felt like 30. Um, but you know, to do a hundred, to get a hundred thousand scholarships and just to kind of be in the, in the mix for committing three months, what you gotta do right now, let’s, you know, we were talking about that, like, um, you know, Hey, what the hell are you doing right now? Like what what’d you do during the downtime? Yeah. Took a Coursera course learning data analytics. Yep. Cool. Front of the line. You know what I mean? So the other, uh, the other part of that Disney story, and I thought this was interesting is so they’ve had to basically close a loophole while they’re open. Cause they said, you know, you have to wear a mask unless you’re eating or drinking. So people were buying a pretzel or buying a drink and then just walking around the park without a mascot. Is there a word for this? What I’m doing right now? That’s why, why are you selling this stuff? If you can’t like, take two steps and that’s bad. Like I like, I like, how did you put a meme up? Like a cup of beer, bad cup of beer was pretzel suicide. Right here. You have beer, you’ll get COVID beer with a side of fries. You’re you’re fine. You’re absolutely safely. Yeah. Good. Take two steps dad. Well, I mean the whole point is, is they don’t want people walking around the park without a mask on. I mean, I get it, you know, but then yeah, the worst, the saddest thing about this is this is the sell the, you know, that one picture in front of wall with this, with the castle in the background with the mascot, there’s nothing like, there’s nothing worse than that. Like when I go back and look at my family photos in 10 years, like if I ever saw that, I kinda like, why did, why did we go then? Like, what’s wrong with it? Yeah, exactly. What, like seriously it’s like, do you just want to say that you were there? Cause like there’s part of me that’s tempted. Just like just to the selfie. Well, just to go there and go to star Wars for a weekend with nobody there, like part of me is like, Ooh. Yeah. But then I’m like, no, if I ever then I can post about it on Facebook. And that’s the whole point is to say I’m there. Exactly. Yeah. Cause then you’ll get lit up. Yeah. And then I’m going to be like a leper is stuck in, no one will come near me for six months. What’s the deal with that couple in Louisville. Did you hear about this? So they’ve been charged with, uh, basically felony brandishing, uh, as well as another Louis. Oh, I’m sorry. Well, Moodle that they put, um, ankle, uh, I didn’t send the article out, but they put ankle, um, The hell, do you call them the tethers? That’s heavy. Yeah. They put ankle tethers on it because they wouldn’t submit to a quarantine. Cause they were apparently they tested positive and they were supposed to be on house arrest, but they declined to sign the paperwork. So then they, I did see that story. And, and so, I mean, and dude, that’s, that’s a real thing. I mean, you know, you look at New Jersey, New York, I mean a lot of the new England States have there’s a two week quarantine. Like if you come in, especially if you come in via air, um, like they’re stopping everybody at the airport and having you show your driver’s license where you’re from, what are you coming in for? Um, okay, great. Hope. You’re prepared for court to quarantine for two weeks. Uh, you know, people are doing whatever they can to try to stop the spread of this nonsense and yeah, those two folks like, yeah, they popped positive and just wanted to go about their daily lives. Like nothing was wrong. That’s a problem. Right. Well, you know, again, you know, that’s why I want Fred on the show every week because I want it like misinformation. I mean, I can make that happen. Um, no, but like the thing that came out that said all the tests that were going on in Florida, all of them came back positive from like eight different centers. And it’s like, is that real? Or is that just Well, so, and that was when it was funny because I got into, I got into a deep dive conversation about that. Cause if you really read through the articles, um, where the confusion came in, as they were saying, Oh, well, all the tests are coming back. Like everything is coming back a hundred percent positive from the certain facilities. Well, some of those facilities only ran one or two tests. And so it is perfectly conceivable that those one or two tests were both positive or were positive. And so therefore it is a 100% test rate, you know, test return, um, Kind of like what it’s kind of like when they said, okay, we have a vaccine like that article came out, but then when you read it, it’s like they tested 35 people And you know, and, and like, you know, it’s like I was saying in the, in the email thread, that’s, that’s actually the, that’s the vaccine that, that Fred and I deep dove on a little bit last week, the one coming out of Oxford, um, where, you know, you know, even them, you read it and they, and they say, we’re hopeful. We have a vaccine ready, you know, by Christmas time, you know, the end of the year, 2020, but then you still have that production ramp up time. You have that distribution time, you have the manufacturer time, you have all that other stuff. So, I mean, it’s, you know, It seems crazy to me that 35 out of 35 showed final row over a four week. Yeah. Let’s go ahead and order 60 million of these things. Well, and so, and that’s only, well, and that’s also only the first round of testing because, so they know that it produces a response. What they don’t know is if that response is enough to inhibit infection. So, I mean, that’s, that’s, that’s the next thing we have to figure out is okay. So yes, you’re seeing an immuno response properly from the vaccine and that’s great, but is that immuno response enough to actually keep somebody from getting infected, you know, via if they’re actually exposed to it out in the wild. Right. You know, again, I just want, can we just have the Fred hotline, Hey, Fred, I saw this meme One 800 call Fred and that’s it. We just, yeah. You know, because that’s the thing that, like, I got half the people in my feed. They only post the shit that they, they want them to believe in. I got the other people posting the crap that they want to believe in. And here I am in the middle of just going, what is it like? Just some can someone tell me the guy will like what it is like, you know? And I know it changes all the time. That’s, you know, science one Oh one. Well, so, and that’s, that’s honestly one of the best memes that’s been floating around for the past couple of days where, you know, the sad reality is as you, you can tell how many people have never really had any exposure to science. Um, because yeah, science and I did, I, I can’t how many times, how many times have I said this on the show? Science is fluid. Like, but, but the reality is most people don’t see most science. They only see the end result. They don’t, they don’t see all this stuff playing out in real time. Like it is now where, okay. We think it’s this crap. It’s not that okay. Let’s go now we think it’s this. Okay. Now this is looking good. Okay. Now we got to figure this out. Yeah. Do you remember in April or March, maybe March or may when the, the, the, the phrase of the two weeks was the science is settled? Um, that drove me absolutely crazy. If I ever heard that I immediately blocked it out of my mind because there was no way in hell. That was fine, Dude. I think, I think we had, I don’t know if we argued about it on the show or not, but that was a, I remember that was a, that was a real thing. And that threw me off because I’m like, wait a minute. That’s not science, That’s conjecture. And I don’t know who was screaming. That’s a hypothesis. That’s not saying that that’s one part of science, the hypothesis. It’s not the whole scientific method. No. And that’s the problem with, you know, me subscribing to everyone is I get 30 different messages and I’m trying to decipher what the hell is real. Um, speaking of which I didn’t, I don’t know as much as going on as you, but this whole first it was a Hitman than it was the attorney. And then it killed. Cause it was aiming at the dead, like A federal judge, uh, in New Jersey, uh, was somebody showed up at their house, uh, yesterday dressed as a FedEx delivery man, um, rang the doorbell. Um, I believe it was the husband, uh, who answered the door. Husband was shot. Kid came, running kid was shot and killed. Um, the judge was actually down in the basement at the time. Uh, just, you know, it was, it was important. Well, so the immediate conspiracy theories that came out because of course everything has to be a giant conspiracy is the judge just a few days ago was assigned the, um, the case against Deutschebank, uh, for protecting and hiding, uh, the assets of Jeffrey Epstein. And so everybody immediately jumped to, you know, Oh, you know, this is totally tied into the Epstein thing. Oh, you know, the pedophile ring [inaudible] uh, well, as it turns out as the story well, and it didn’t help matters much when the story came out this morning, um, that the dude was dead. Uh, the gunman was found dead, um, by an, uh, by an apparent suicide, you know, parent suicide. Um, so yeah, so that, so that just fueled the stories even further, but now as the story has evolved, so the gunman was actually a lawyer, uh, out of New York, um, who has a case pending before this judge. Um, and this lawyer is, uh, is a wackadoo. Like, I don’t even know how he was still certified by the bar, um, to be an attorney, like he has like literally dates. They have like 2000 pages printed out of rants about this judge. Um, and he’s a men’s rights kind of guy. Like one of the cases that he was trying was he was trying to prove that, um, ladies nights at bars, uh, were unconstitutional dabs hand to God. That’s one of the cases that he, but that’s, so that’s the thing. Um, yeah, exactly. And so that’s, you know, so I mean, he’s, this lawyer was a total wackadoo, uh, you know, but again, you know, every nobody’s going to believe that everybody’s going to believe that it has something to do with Epstein. And so that conspiracy theory is going to rage for, you know, weeks now. I’m sure everyone wants it to be because of Epstein. Right. Cause you know, ever since GoLean Maxwell, you know, got, got, you know, taken into custody, that’s all back in the rage. And she is, uh, you know, I do love that meme that had the picture of her and Jeffrey Epstein and said, you know, true love is finishing each other’s sentences. I thought that was really cute. Gross. Um, but yeah, so I mean, we’ll, we’ll see. I mean, like I said, I mean, at least right now, you know, it, it looks like, you know, but then of course you’ll have the people that play the, Oh, well, you know, this guy was programmed to be that guy and he wasn’t activated until, you know, the Deutsche bank case came around and edited it. Uh, you know, dude in the Reddit conspiracy, you know, that exact post is happening right now. And it’s probably, there’s already probably six different variations of it. You know, that What’s the last one that, that was the thing, the Boston bombers, right? Like that was the, the last one Or yeah. Or you know, a little town or, you know, I mean, yeah. I mean it’s Iron oxide, celery root aviation. No, we’re not, we’re not doing the Manchurian candidate. Yeah. There’s no, there’s no, there’s no mandatory. Yeah, absolutely. For agents right now that was like the verbal, the verbal password to shut the podcast off The Klaatu Barada Nixon. Um, you did bring up, uh, how do you, did you watch old guard yet? I have not. Oh, so good. Yeah. It was, um, it was pretty awesome. I think I did I talk about it last year? You mentioned. Yeah. You mentioned it last week. That it was good. Um, and then Randy. Yeah, I just, I just haven’t had the time to watch it. I haven’t watched anything cause I’ve been watching supermarket sweep like mad. Um, I’m amazed at the quality for like a, you think Netflix is like made for TV movie, but this is could of been in a theater for sure. And I mean, look at that bright movie they did with will Smith. They dropped $80 million on it. Yeah. Okay. Do you know what movie was completely legit? I’m American assassin. I love that movie. Did you watch it? Yeah. I heard about it. I haven’t watched it. The problem is the kid, the kid looked like he should be on like saved by the bell and not like a nice, he was from MTVs reboot of teen Wolf. And then he was amazed runner. As the story goes, he proposes to his fiance or poses to his girlfriend in a beach in Mexico. And then a terrorist group, um, kills her, like just opened fire it on everybody and she ends up getting killed. So he goes, he spends the next like three years training, like John wick and like trying to get trained to say, I’m going against my country. I want to join your group and like blow up America for, you know, so the FBI is watching him cause he’s kinda doing it sloppily. So he’s like so good. They ended up hiring him or whatever. Hire a hacker to catch a hacker. Well, I take it back. I did. I watched the first episode of old guard. That’s the one that’s the, uh, movie. Oh then which 1:00 AM I thinking of? This one has surely stern right guard. Maybe. No, I don’t know. I’ll have to. Yeah. I don’t know. Dave was a group of people with any purse issue. I who knows something with garden. I don’t know. Random synaptic misfire carry on. So you still want to talk about supermarket sleep now, you know, so You were here when this was a thing. I was not. I mean, it’s, you can’t scroll Facebook or whatever without seeing stuff about white boy, Rick getting released. Yay. He’s out of jail in Florida now. I guess his girlfriend, wife, whatever, released it back, no back. He’s Kind of like what I would call like an Andre, the giant person. Like you never really saw them. And the story gets traveled so many through so many circles that like, by the time it comes to you, like we thought he was like this giant King pin, Randy, Troy, like, he’s like, like a Scarface, but then you, then, you know, then you watch the movie and you know, who knows how much truths in the movie, but it’s like, he was an FBI informant to protect his dad and they ended up effing him. Yeah. So like, I mean basically like the actual news stories that I read. So I guess he was an FBI informant at 14, um, and got popped his father. Cause his dad was in the shit and then got popped at 17, uh, distributing Coke. Right. And got, and apparently got put under the jail, But he was in prison longer than anyone for like a drug offense, like in history. Well then he got so, and then correct me. So then he got released here, but then immediately had to go to Florida because of some car theft ring that he was actually running while he was in jail. Again, telephone game. It’s all here at this point. I mean that’s, I mean, that’s the thing with him is completely, That’s why he just got released from Florida. Cause when they released him here, they immediately took him into custody and took him down there. Well, I mean, what are you gonna do for living? You know, what are you gonna do for a living except we’re going to do somebody to listen. Shit like your white boy, Rick, you can run my yeah. Cause you know, prisons are all about rehabilitation, Bob. They’re all about making sure you come out a better person. They’re not, they’re not sure. They’re really not, not even close. I’m sure he’s going to be an author. He’s going to, they’re going to redo his movie. He’s going to do a podcast. You know like he’s cool tales, tales from Jackson. I’m sure that already exists anyway. Oh my God. Speaking of which I’m so angry, I texted the whole will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith thing. So like the memes have been hilarious by the way. There’s a song. I think I forget who I sent the song to, but it’s when I had my entanglements with August and I’m like, so I text August and I’m like, how is that? Not the name of your podcast entanglements with August. And he’s like, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’m like, God, will you please keep up? I’m sure. He actually knew he was just being a jerk. Yeah. Cause he doesn’t want to be so entanglements with. Right. Although, although speaking of which, uh, apparently happy 20th birthday whiskey in the jar, uh, they are they’re 20 years old Today. Yeah. That was, uh, that was back around when there was a motor was still a thing. When, um, was it lush? Uh, right off Joseph compo. Like that’s what like all the underground technical places that uh, yeah. Cause Polish, Kevin worked the door there for like 10 years. I think it was lush. Um, yeah, I know it’s, it’s his name? Polish. Kevin. And I got to tell you like it’s, It’s crazy again. Uh, so you know, we’ve got the, the Detroit studios back open, um, and you know, going down there with shows, uh, and like Cass corridor is back kinda like Cass corridor was 10 years ago. Um, like there’s, there’s nobody there, like there, there was like, there’s nobody really walking around. There’s like, it’s, it’s, it’s weird. It’s just like I got used to cause I mean, I, I mean, I used to go down there back in the day too, but I’ve kinda gotten used to it over the past couple of years where, you know, there’s always people out walking around. There’s always, you know, the little electric scooter things flipping around. Um, yeah. It’s it’s I feel for the places that are open. Cause, cause God damn. Yeah. They just rolling in the burbs. Cause I mean the parks and everything are, I don’t want to say they’re packed with like, you know, and that’s the thing, like we’ve been hanging out in the neighborhood pool cause of the kid and I’m like, it’s got capacity was 82. It got dropped to 41 And no diarrhea. So you can’t go in. So yeah, I can’t go in and it’s always, everyone want to make a six show, laugh, just say, Andy, you can’t go in the pool. You got diarrhea. Nice. No, but like, you know, 25 people there and it looks packed cause they took out half the chairs. You know what I mean? But like paint Creek trail is packed the Clinton river trail. Like there’s I see people like, you know, I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s just a burbs thing or everybody’s riding a bike instead of going out Instead of heading, I mean it’s possible. I mean it, you know, I, I was watching, you know, Eric Thomas was, was posting last night and he just said, you know, why is it impossible to find like anything like grub hub door, dash? He’s like nothing in this city delivers after nine o’clock no kidding and well, but it wasn’t like that for a while. Their place I’m surprised. Yeah. So I mean, it’s, you know, no nobody’s open, nobody’s delivering every place is shutting down at nine. I mean, even at DSC when they’re open, you know, when they’re trying to stay open, I think on the weekends, they’re starting to stay up until midnight. The kitten, the kitchen shut down at 10 Dude. You remember when we would go down there for events that wasn’t non baseball game and like shit was closed at 10. Yeah. We walked, well, God, at the time we walked out of the state for Kevin Smith’s thing and the bar next door was closed. We had to walk three blocks to find an open bar. Oh yeah. And we passed like six closed ones. That’s that’s the, that’s my adult life in Detroit. If there wasn’t a base, It was getting better, but it was getting better. I mean, that was a few years ago. Like it had, it had been getting better and I do, I just, I, you know, I, you know, heaven forbid, you know, we wind up taking a step back on the whole opening thing. Um, you know, and, and places get shut down again. Cause I, I don’t think they’re, they’re gonna even the ones that have somehow found a way to make it this far are going to make it. Dave, I have breaking news while I love, love the fact that MLS is on TV again, you know, like, boom, this league has already done galleon leagues on like soccer’s on right now. And on the big scoreboard, I just happened to glance over. I wasn’t even looking for this on the big scoreboard. There’s eight like zoom shots of fans cheering. So they’ve like zeroed in the cameras on the eight people in the stands. Yeah. It’s like our podcast right now on the big screen going like this. Yay. That’s amazing. I don’t, yeah. I mean, you know, thankful that they, you know yeah. They’re entertaining us again, but like, you know, that’s the thing, are they, um, I wonder if they’re pumping in CrowdRise, I’m not going to turn it on. Well, and I do like, and just speak to that. Like I’m still trying to figure out like, cause I, you know, just taking a drive, um, and running errands and stuff, like how in the hell are like high school teams are already out on fields and shit and scrimmage, can they do it? I don’t know. But at Howard, like if the pros can even figure this shit out, you know, how, how, why, why do you have high school kids out there? Maggie practices every day, but they can’t scrimmage, which is kind of weird, but they’re like, you know how 13 year old girls are, they’re all like hugging, you know what I mean? But like they can’t scrimmage. So like they’re just doing drills. Um, so I don’t know. The funny thing is like two of them, I was talking to Tulio on Saturday. He’s so starved for sports. He was watching Korean baseball. It’s gotten to that point with a lot of sports. Like the, the they’re betting on stupid Shit. Well, and I actually, well, yeah, I mean, so, but actually speaking of Korea and this ties into the whole school thing, it’s something that just came out kinda late, um, see to part of the whole, like school’s reopening thing everybody’s and we talked about this with Fred, you know, who has been like, Oh, you know, kids don’t get it. And then I’m like, well, you really don’t know that because we locked down. We like the schools down really quick and took all the kids out of it. So you don’t really know that, um, there’s a study coming out of that came out of South Korea, um, where, so yep. They know for sure that at least kids age 10 or older, um, are just as susceptible to catching, passing it along and everything else. Uh, because that’s the age range they’ve allowed to go back so far. Um, and, and, and they have seen a surge in, in that age bracket. So I mean, it’s, That’s the thing that drives me nuts is they’re like, Oh yeah, kids under five, don’t need to have masks. I’m like Bullshit C and C. And to me, I think, I think that’s a pro that’s like, that’s a cover your ass thing because you know, there’s no way in hell a five-year-old is going to sit there with a mask. Like you just know that’s not going to be a thing. It, when she goes into fight like bone or went to five below, um, Well, okay. But for how long and, and is that, and that’s not sitting still, She thinks it’s wearing like goggles in her nose, plug the pool, like to her, it’s just like I’m wearing it to go into five below. And then she buys a Barbie with crutches on it and mocks me with it. Like my thing is, So we’ve got a, we’ve got a comment in the chat. This is no, not only are they scrimmaging, she’s got friends that are packing that are packing their kids up and going to road games. So there are not only scrimmage is going on. There are games going on already Gross. I think it was people are, people are ignoring the fact that kids aren’t the only people at schools like there’s teachers, staff, everyone that’s a school. One of the things that Fred was talking about is, you know, your average teacher is 50 plus, you know, so in a higher risk group, um, you know, and you look at, you know, all the stuff that’s coming out, you know, even in our school district, you know, the, there was a meeting going on earlier that I, I couldn’t pay attention to cause I had shows going on. Um, but like they’re, they’re going, um, basically all out hybrid for middle school and up, um, where it’s, you know, mostly virtual, you know, pop in for tests, that kind of stuff. But for elementary school there it’s either you are all in and our classrooms are full, um, or you are out and you are virtual. Um, and you know, it’s not going to be the same teachers. It’s not going to be the same classrooms and they’ve, you know, divided it up into, I think it’s trimesters if I recall correctly. Uh, and you know, basically said, Oh well, you know, and if things do, and you do have the option to go into the classroom, assuming there’s a spot open for you, but if you want to, like, so like my, you know, our, the kid, the school for my kid is at the end of our street, but if that’s full, he’d wind up having to go, God knows where, you know. And so what’s that gonna do to busing routes? What’s, it’s going to anything else. And like, th like the one thing that I’m surprised nobody has released, tried to push hard now is the concept of year round school. Um, you know, and just doing that four weeks farming anymore. Oh, well, yeah. Well, you know, you’re right there with daylight savings time. See ya. Um, but you know, just the whole concept of that four weeks on two weeks off, which to me makes sense. Cause you know, worst case scenario, if somebody pops somewhere in that four weeks, you’ve got a 14 day quarantine isolation period built in at the end of that to help it go away and die down. Um, and I, yeah, I mean, I think that industry is going to get legs by the way the, uh, the teacher that quits her profession and then takes on the 10 kids to teach. Uh, yeah. Oh, I absolutely, I absolutely think it will. I know people that are doing it. Um, you know, especially when you look at, you know, I think the, I think we might’ve talked about this last week. Like the average retirement rate at this time of year is like 1.8, 1.9%. And it is currently nine to 10% This year or any, uh, is there any regulations they have to abide by? Can they legally do that? If they are ready? No one knows what I’m talking about. It’s um, post date posted something a while ago, like saying, Hey, why doesn’t a teacher just quit take on 10 students, charge them two 50 a week. Um, they’re not going to work. They’re not going to work year round. And so it’ll be like 40 weeks, but it’ll still, it’s still a hundred thousand dollars a year and it’s more than they’re making. Um, you know, and it’s probably a lot less stress on the teacher and it’s a lot less Well, and I’m sure you well, yeah, I don’t, I don’t believe schools have a noncompete. I don’t know. Well, I just didn’t know if like, cause I know you could do the there’s curriculum through K-12 I have friends that are homeschooling now. Yep. Well, and, and so to me that’s like, that’s almost the, it almost seems half-assed to me, like why do, why do you as a school district other than the political and finding no, he was a school district other than the political and financial ramifications where, you know, you want to, you know, you want to inflate your numbers, um, why even try to offer online schooling. Why just so, Hey, look, we’re a school. If you’re not coming to the school, go to K-12 go to where, or if you’re not adopting our virtual model and you want something else, then go someplace else. It just, it’s just, it’s it’s such a weird time for me, you know, for this shit right now. I just Manipulating monopoly anyway. They don’t want school of choice. Charter schools are the devil. So I mean, you know what I mean? It’s just a weird political, the whole thing, you know what I mean? They, if you live in this area, you have to go to that school like that, you know, what are those days numbered? You know what I mean? Like, You know, I, I don’t know. And well, and, and God, God knows, I sure as hell, you know, but, and that’s like, to me, like that’s what I’m kind of looking for from them is like, there should be certain things that you as a school district already know, like you’

Its nice to see you here today on this beautiful spring day, and I hope youre all thankful for trees. If I were to ask you a question about one of the prevailing philosophies in our world, in our culture, today-we talked about world views, and we talked about evolution in the past-yet this philosophy is probably the underlying philosophy that evolution results in. This permeates our culture everywhere. If I were to ask you the question: what do Hugh Hefner, drug addiction, beer advertisements, and about half of our music and movie themes have in common, would I have any takers? What do you think? What do all those things have in common? One basic theme is that were to live for pleasure. When I was a kid growing up-I dont think this is around anymore-was you only go around once in life, so you gotta grab for all the gusto you can. See, you guys still remember that. It was a great advertisement, and, friends, thats the way it is in our culture. Whether you sell toothpaste or cars or whatever it is today, thats the predominant theme. This toothpaste, this nail polish, this lipstick, this car will make your life more exciting! It will give you pleasure! You will enjoy life and be happy in a way that you would not if you didnt buy this! Right? And so as we think about that, does anybody know the word that that philosophy entails-that we ought to live for pleasure? Anybody know what that is? Its called hedonism, and it goes all the way back to the Greeks and many, many moons ago-3,500 years ago. That was one of the huge philosophies, We should do everything that we do for pleasure. Thats very much our culture: if it feels good, do it. Why should I deny myself? Were here to have a good time, and the better time we can have, the earlier we can have it, the better. Now, having said all that, let me ask you a question: so, should we live for pleasure? Think about that for a second, and while youre thinking about that, our wonderful tech team-who was awesome in the first service, by the way-just mad props to you guys. I was jumping all over creation, and they were following me, but were gonna stick Revelation 4:11 up on the screen in the old King James because it says it in a way that some of the newer translations dont. If I were to ask you that question as Christians, a lot of times our immediate response would be, No, we should not live for pleasure. Well, I have news for you. Listen to this verse: You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for Youve created all things and for Your… what? Pleasure, …they are and were created. Why does God say He does everything He does? He enjoys it. It gives Him pleasure. He likes it! He likes it-thats why God does what He does. He enjoys it, and, friends, heres the interesting thing as we think about that verse, a couple thoughts: number one, what are you here to do? Rick Warren talked about The Purpose Driven Life. Well, what is your purpose in life? Youre here, according to that verse, to please God. I mean it is the basic foundation of your character. Youve been designed to please somebody else other than yourself. Well talk about that a little bit more in a minute. The second thing is that because you were made in the image of God, you were made to enjoy things. You were made for pleasure. In fact, the predominate motivating factor in your life is pleasure. Why? Because you were made in Gods image. Pleasure is not necessarily wrong in and of itself. The focus is-and well talk about it a bit when we look at Moses-how long that pleasure lasts. In fact, the problem with sin is that nobody ever said sin wasnt fun, right? If they say sin isnt fun, theyre lying to you. The problem with sin is, what? The pleasure that you get from that doesnt last. God offers eternal pleasure, eternal joy, and eternal rewards-in fact, eternal glory. God calls us as individuals made in His image to live for those eternal and long-lasting choices, so as you look at that verse that says, God made everything for His pleasure, that is inherit in that. Then theres the paradox. Philosophers call it the paradox of hedonism-that, like our Founding Fathers said it the Declaration of Independence-you choose to pursue happiness… You know, were endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If you choose to pursue happiness and pleasure in and of itself, you find something amazing. This paradox says that you wont find it. If you forget God, you forget everybody else, and pursue pleasure, youre doomed to a life of misery and sorrow. I think of Ernest Hemingway who pursued a life of pleasure. He was a mans man. He was everything that guys are supposed to be according to our worlds culture and ended up killing himself with his shotgun because…life was meaningless. After hed done everything and pursued every pleasure imaginable, there was no reason to go on living. He killed himself. Alexander the Great, of course, weeps at the age of 31 that theres no more worlds to conquer. The paradox is that happiness, pleasure, and joy are byproducts. In fact, in our culture, to please somebody else or to please others, thats often set in a bad connotation or context, right? If I were to say, you should please others-now Im not talking about being a people pleaser in the sense that I wont stand up for right or wrong. Thats not what were talking about because pleasing God comes first. Paul says that were to please our neighbors for theyre good to edification. The amazing thing is God says, Thats the way to real pleasure for ourselves. Thats what you were designed to do. When you please God and please others, something amazing happens. You find pleasure; you find joy; and you find blessing and happiness in ways that you would not otherwise. Were gonna delve in to that a little bit deeper here. Lets turn to the Book of Hebrews, or we can look at the verses up on the screen. Hebrews 11:24-26 (page 1192 of pew Bibles), I want to look at three groups of people-Moses, martyrs and the Messiah. There you go; theres three Ms for you. To begin with-Moses. Look at what it says about Moses. It says, By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, he refused to be known as the son of Pharaohs daughter. Well hold it there for just a second because I want you to think about this: in our culture, we dont think much when we read those words; we kind of gloss over them. It doesnt seem that big of deal. Friends, if Moses were in our culture today, he would have everything that our culture says is cool. He would have money absolutely coming out his ears. Egypt was the world power at the time. Egypt had a culture that no one else had. They had civilization advancements in ways that other people did not. They had the best architecture, the best buildings, the best riches, the best luxuries. You name it, Egypt had it. Not only is Moses living in that culture, but he is one of the big Kahunas. Hes one of the top dogs. In fact, hes in line as the sun of Pharaohs daughter to end up possibly taking the throne himself and being worshipped as God some day. That would be very big in a lot of circles, right? You see our movie stars, sports stars, music stars; in fact, its interesting, we dont call it American Idol for nothing, do we? Theres a lot of idolatry that goes on-a lot of worship. People long to be worshipped; they long to be exalted. They want everybody to recognize them. Notice me, and interestingly Moses gave all that up. He said he didnt count it as a big deal. It wasnt important to him. Lets go on to the next verse. Look at what he says, He chose to be mistreated… You have wealth, luxury. You have wealth, luxury-I mean he drove the Rolls Royce of chariots, and he chose to give it all up to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. Look at that last line. I talked about this earlier, but, friends, if someone tells you sin isnt fun, theyre lying. If sin wasnt fun, would it be a temptation? No. But whats the problem? Look at that verse. Whats the problem with sin and its pleasures? It doesnt last. Its only for a short time. I wont go in to it, but one of the most well-known studies, psychological cultures, a Stanford marshmallow study, you look that up some time. Ive talked about it before, but that challenges us that the thing that is most essential for success anywhere is the ability to delay our gratification, to put it off for the future. Its interesting that God is interested in teaching us to wait, isnt He? The process of maturity, in fact, is learning how to wait. Thats the essence of prayer. God encourages us in prayer by saying yes sometimes. Sometimes He says yes very quickly. Any of you who have prayed very long know that God often tells you to…wait. I always say God answers every single prayer ever asked. Sometimes He says yes; sometimes He says no; sometimes He says…wait, but He always answers. But, friends, thats what Gods trying to teach you-to wait. Thats where maturity comes, and that's the essence of real growth. Moses chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy short-term pleasure. Heres the interesting reason why: it says he regarded the disgrace for the sake of Christ as greater value than the treasures of Egypt-because he was looking ahead to his reward. God is an unbelievable motivator. He knows how to encourage people. God challenges you to live the Christian life, why? Look at the words there, …because there are things of greater value… and …because you are looking ahead to, what? Reward. Thats the essence of the Christian life. God tells us, Take the mature look. Look ahead toward reward. In fact, Jesus talked about this often. He assumed that you would do things that were for your good, in your best interest. Thats why He said, What does it profit a man or a person if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? What does Jesus assume you will live for in that verse? Profit. Hes saying, Look, take the longest look. Do the most profitable thing. Invest in eternity. Thats the wisest choice. Lets look at the next group of people. If you didnt comprehend this, this would make no sense at all. He talks about the martyrs. Before this, he talks about a group of people who say miraculous things happen. They won amazing battles, you know-David and Goliath type stuff; Gideon defeats a massive army with 300 men; women receive back their dead raised to life again, and then he stops, and he changes. He says there was one group of people that had all kinds of amazing things happen to them, but theres another group of people who were tortured, and they refused to be released. Why did they do that? So that they might gain a better resurrection. Why would you choose to go through suffering, heartache, and pain? The answer is for better a resurrection. They were looking for future rewards, future joy, and future happiness. In fact, you know that in this life, theres a basic principle. We talk about easy come, easy go. The other side of the coin is often also true. The more something costs you, the more youve been through, the greater the rewards will be and the more joy you have-the more ecstasy, the more excitement that you will have when you reach those rewards. I think about the first state championship I ever won, a private school state championship with a group of girls that just made an unbelievable team. Those young ladies worked really, really hard. In fact, later on, when I went to public schools and even in college, I had kids gripe about doing not even a tenth of what girls in fourth grade did for me at that school because they thought it was too much, too hard. Yet, because wed been able to develop the culture in that school, girls would walk in in fourth grade, start every single practice with passing 1,000 balls from this little two foot by three foot rectangle on a wall. They never thought a thing of it. That was just the culture. You watched those girls work and work and work and work and listen and do what you said. Finally, it was the final point of that last game in the title game we won. I remember taking my clipboard and throwing it all the way up to the top of the gymnasium; and it was exciting, and it was fun to watch the girls get awards and metals, be all state, and raise trophies. It was exciting and exhilarating, and they still talk about that today. And it mattered, and it meant so much, why? Because they had put so much in to it, and they recognized that. Friends, that is the basic pattern. God says the more something costs you, the more youre going to enjoy it. Why will Jesus Christ enjoy eternity more than anyone else? Because it cost Him more than it cost anybody else. He will be the happiest, most joyful, most exhilarated, most exalted, most glorified person in the entire universe. Why? Because no one ever suffered in the way He did. Thats why theres a group of young men. In fact, theyre the brothers of Joshua Harris. About ten years ago, Joshua Harris wrote a book called, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, that made the rounds in Christian culture. He has two brothers that go around, do seminars and challenge young people their age to do hard things. Why would they do that? Why do hard things? Because they realize theres an inherent benefit of doing really hard things. It makes life more meaningful. It makes life more exciting, more exhilarating because theres a joy to reaping the benefits of doing hard things. The last thing, as you look at that, we want to focus on Christ-look at the words of Christ in Hebrews 12:1-2. If you doubt what I was saying about pleasure and reward, look at Jesus. If I were to ask you this morning why Jesus died, theres actually a multitude of reasons or one of my favorite words, a plethora, or reasons. There are a lot of reasons Jesus died. He died to pay for our sins. He died to satisfy divine justice. He died to please the Father, but Hebrews 12:1-2 (page 1193 of pew Bibles) says it this way, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author or the starter and perfecter or finisher. Hes talking about a race-start and finish, of our race who for the joy set before Him endured the cross scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God. Now, dont gloss over that. Why did He do all that? For the…what? Say that again. For the… A couple of you get it. He did all of that for the, what set before Him? Youre getting there-joy, joy. Try it once more. He did it for the joys. Is it just me, or…? Lets try it one more time, okay? It says, Look to Jesus, who… for the what? Joy. Oh, were getting better. I must have woken everybody up. …set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God. Why did Jesus do what He did? The same reason God created the world. For pleasure, for joy. That saw Him through-the knowledge of what He was going to receive. In fact, Psalms says it this way: After He did his work for God, He sat down at the right hand of God thereafter expecting that His enemies who were going to be made His footstool. Thatd be something exciting to look forward to. Jesus is the example of that for us as we think about eternity. Matthew 25:23 says that someday well stand before God and hear our Master say to us, Well done, good and faithful servant. Youve been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your Masters happiness, or the old King James, Enter into the joy of the Lord. What does He say Heaven is going to be? A place of joy and happiness. Whats the reward for following God? Its joy; its happiness. Likewise, as we group these things together, I challenge you, friends. We think back in the very beginning of the Bible, we see this in Genesis 15. One of the very first ways that God reveals Himself to mankind to Abram in Genesis 15 is by saying, After this, the Word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, Do not be afraid, Abram. Im your shield and your very great… what? [Congregation says, Reward.] Hey, you guys are getting better. …your very great reward. Thats reward! And its interesting-God reveals Himself this way in the very first Book of the Bible, and also almost the last thing God says in the Book of Revelation is this: Jesus says, Behold, Im coming soon. My…reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. The beginning and the end-God says, Im here to reward. Have you ever wondered why 2,000 years after Jesus lived, died and rose again, He has followers the world over who are still willing to die for Him? Because Jesus gets what many bosses dont get. Have you ever had a boss that you worked for that never noticed you till you did something wrong? Had a few of those? Its like you go day after day after day, and they ignore you and they ignore you and they ignore you until low and behold, you mess something up or do something wrong and boom! They jump all over you and let you know that you really messed up! Is God that way? I dont think so. In fact, as you talk about this principle, one of my favorite passages-Hebrews 11:6, lets look at this verse (page 1192 of pew Bibles). Look what it says about God, …without faith it is impossible to please God… Notice what were here to do-please God. Whats the benefit of that? I end up finding pleasure myself. Thats the paradox. Its like knowing God. Jesus said knowing God was eternal life. The amazing thing is the more you know about God, who else do you discover? Yourself in ways you never would have otherwise. The same thing is here. He says, …without faith, it is impossible to please God. He who comes to God must believe two things about God. Number one, he must believe that God exists, and number two, what do you have to believe about God to please Him? You have to believe that He really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really likes rewarding people. Have you ever thought that way about God? He really likes rewarding people. Thats what that says. In fact, He says if you dont believe that about God, you cant please Him. Now that should challenge you. Its why Jesus reveals His Father in Heaven as the One who says, I saw you give that person a cup of cold water. I saw you give that person a seat. I saw you let them cut in line ahead of you. I saw you let them go ahead of you. Im going to reward that. Hes not like our bosses that ignore us until we do something wrong. In fact, God is the One who-He may not reward you immediately, but He doesnt forget anything. The smallest thing, He notices all of it, and you can bank on it that there will be a reward for it someday. That also challenges us in our personal lives. If youre here this morning, Im assuming that you want to be like Christ. If youre a follower of God, what does that mean? That should mean that you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like rewarding people too. How many people cross your path day after day after day that do things for you and you never say thank you? Young people, how many meals has your mom fixed for you? How many loads of laundry has she done for you? How many times has she driven you in a car? How many times has your mom and dad put a roof over your head and done a number of unknown things for you, and you never say thank you? You see, to be like Christ is to continually reward and notice the good that other people do. That makes you very much like Him. If youre in charge of people, do you regularly praise them for their efforts, tell them thank you for their efforts, and notice the good things that they do? Honor people around you. That's the image of Christ, and thats the image of God. He calls us to be that way. As we look at the subject of pleasure and joy, Ill have you notice the flip side of the coin too. So should we only do things because of reward? Well, theres a balance. Lets look at 1 Timothy 6:17 (page 1177). He says, Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Notice why God says He gives us everything. For what? For our enjoyment. I just read an article by a preacher this week who said, Drink orange juice to the glory of God. Paul says, Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all of the glory of God. So how do you drink orange juice to the glory of God? You start by telling Him thank you for the orange juice, right? And if its good for you because it gives you vitamins, minerals and nutrients in your body-its the temple of the Holy Spirit-well, that might be a good reason to drink orange juice. Maybe you can share some orange juice with somebody, but then youre on the right track. Youre thinking, Why do I do things? Even the smallest things, am I doing it to please God? Am I doing it to please and bless others? If so, Im going to reap the reward of that as well. But you and I know that there is also a blessing from giving. Do we just do things for rewards? In Acts 20:35, Paul quotes the words of Jesus. He says, You know the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who though He was rich yet for our sakes, He became poor, and he says, He taught us that its more blessed to give than to receive. As you look at that Passage, Its more blessed to give than to receive, what do you notice? Whats the motivation for giving in that verse? Its more blessed. Any of you who have done things for other people, what happens in return when you give or are generous with other people? You feel good, right? In fact, were talking about sin and motivation. I think all the psychological studies about that are interesting. There is a pleasure that you get from sin. In fact, one article I read said that were simply telling you what preachers have said for a couple thousand years, which is even though its fun to sin, its even more enjoyable to do good things. When you do good for others, how do you feel? You feel better; you feel good. There is a blessing; there is a joy inherent in giving to others and reaching out to others; and, lets put it this way: if I were to talk about Martha Steward or Rachel Ray-see, ladies, this is not a Sports Illustration-or Paula Dean. I had to get the Dean part in there. These ladies are famous; theyre well-known. Do you think they profited from being able to cook and all those things? Sure. Theyre famous. They have a lot of money. Theyre very well-known, and theyve been very blessed. Theyve had incredible rewards for doing what they were doing. Now heres the interesting thing: what if you were to take away all those rewards? No TV programs, lose most of your wealth, all the fancy cars, mansions, and all those things, do you think theyd still keep on cooking? What do you think? I think so. Why? Because they like it. It gives them pleasure. It gives them joy, and that's the balance that were talking about. As children of God, we are to live for eternal rewards, eternal glory, and eternal pleasure, but there are blessings even in this life. Jesus said, No man who has left Father, Mother, Sister and Brother and houses the lands for My sake in the Gospel who wont receive in the life to come eternal life, but also in this life a hundredfold. Whats He talking about? That you and I know that even if there were no rewards, no blessings, no benefits, no crowns, no trophies, no mansions-as children of God, would you continue to do what you do, walk with God, bless others and please Him? Would you? Yes. Why? Because you enjoy it. Because when you trust in Christ, He puts His Spirit in you. He puts His very DNA in you, and it is your nature. Its your heart to bless others, to minister to others, to do good to others, to reach out to others. Thats who you are, and there is a joy that comes with that. There is a delight that comes with that. If you ask me why I get up in the morning and read my Bible or spend time with God in prayer or sing praises to Him, Id say, Well, do I hope to be rewarded for that some day? Well, the answer is yes, but what happens right here and now? As I open up the Word of God, seek Him, and spend time with Him in prayer and praise, what happens? My hearts warmed. My hearts filled. I feel His presence; I feel His pleasure; I feel His joy, and I crave that. It brings us back again and again and again and again as we feel the warmth of His presence. We feel His blessings, and we feel His closeness. We hear Him speak to us in interesting ways. He lets us know that He is ours and we are His. Justin and I were talking before the first service this morning about waking up sometimes in difficult times and a verse will be running through your head or a song is running through your head and how God gives you [that] almost specifically just to let you know that He cares. I said, Yeah, about a month ago, I woke up… Ive never even seen the musical, but I had the song from the movie Oliver running through my head. Im like, Whats that doing in there? It was the song, Consider Yourself One of the Family. [It goes something like this:] Consider yourself at home. Consider yourself part of the family, and consider yourself one of us. Im like, Why cant I get that out of my head, and why should I wake up and as soon as my feet hit the floor, thats what pops in my head? That makes no sense. Well, I got up, went into my office, opened up my Bible, sat down, and I was reading from Romans 9. The first words that popped into my vision were the place where it should be said that you are not My people, there you will be called My people, and the place where it says, Youre not my children, there that we will be called the children of the Living God. Its like the Lord whispered in my ear, Hey, Jerry, just wanted you to know-glad youre in My family. Glad youre one of us. Im like, Wow! I spent like two or three days walking around going, Consider yourself at home. Consider yourself part of the family. I was like, God, Youre cool! And Gods saying, Just letting you know I care. Its that joy that you get from being in His presence that brings you back time and time and time and time again-even if there were no rewards. Its why on this side of the coin, Jesus tells the story of the servant. He says he goes and works for his master all day long. Hes plowing fields, and he comes home after a 14, 15-hour work day.Does the master tell him thank you? He said I dont think so. [Rather, he says something like,]Fix me supper. He fixes his master supper, and after that does the master tell him thank you? No. Jesus said, In the same way, when youve done everything Ive asked you to do, say, Hey, were unprofitable servants. All weve done is our duty. Whats He talking about? Hes talking about this whole attitude that theres a joy of serving Him. Theres a joy of walking in His presence. Theres a joy of blessing others that would drive us to do it, would make us do it, would encourage us to do it, the Spirit of God was in us-even if there wasnt a reward given. Does that make sense? So theres this balance. I do it because its who I am. Yet on the other side, God is so incredibly gracious that He offers us rewards for doing the things that we ought to be doing anyway. Isnt that unbelievable? Im going to share one last thought with you and then wrap it up. In Isaiah, it says it a different way. Ill throw out one line quickly to think about, Isaiah 43:7 (page 718 of pew Bibles), God says, …everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, who I formed and I made. Heres a different way of saying it. Instead of saying, I created everything for my pleasure, God says, I created you for My glory. I could ask the same question: should we live for glory? Well, the answer to that is yes-if youre made in the image of God. An amazing thing happens. Again, theres the paradox of if you lose your life, you find it because when you decide to live for Gods glory, what happens? Like Jesus prays in John 17, Father, glorify them with the glory that I had with You before the world was. Its like the God who says I wont share my glory with anybody else, He says, If we live for His glory, hell share His glory with us. That's mind-boggling. Just like pleasure, to talk about glory and say it a different way, we see people live for glory, right? Whats the problem with the glory that the people of the world live for? It doesnt last, right? Paul talks about those people who really get it. Theyre willing to go through suffering. Theyre willing to go through heartache. Theyre willing to go through pain. Why? Because he says, I realize that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared the… glory which will be revealed in us. And our light affliction, he says, …which only lasts a minute produces a far more exceeding and eternal weight of…glory. Thats why you do what you do-for pleasure, for glory. Thats why you do what you do-for pleasure, for glory. And again, heres the thing: when I live for Gods pleasure and Gods glory, what happens? I find that God gives me pleasure, and God gives me glory in ways that I would never have known. In fact, I love the words in Romans 2:7 (page 1113 in pew Bibles) where God challenges us. Listen to what He says, To those who by persistence in doing good… If you get up every day and think about who can I do good to today? Who can I serve today? Who can I minister today? If you think that way, look what Paul says youre thinking about. If you wake up every day thinking about God, others, and doing good, what are you really looking for? Youre really looking for the immortal triad: glory, honor, and immortality. God stands back and applauds people that do that. He says, When you wake up and you wonder how you can please Me, and you serve others and bless others, youre living for real glory. Youre living for real honor, and youre living for real immortality. Isnt that amazing? Thats what God offers to us. Ill wrap this up by looking at Matthew 5. Friends, the byproduct of that, of reaching out and blessing other peoples lives, is joy. Matthew 5 (page 958), he says, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God. He says, Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Whats the motivation in all of those things? He says, Do these things. Mourn over sin. Be a peacemaker. Show mercy, why? So that you will be blessed, or truly genuinely happy. Thats what the word blessed means. Its the Greek word makarios. It just means happy. Jesus assumes that youre motivated by happiness, but again, that paradox, you dont get happiness by pursuing it. Its a byproduct of other things. When you seek to be a peacemaker, what do you find? Happiness. And the greatest of all-the pinnacle of Christianity-when you return good for evil, what are you doing? Youre being most like your Father in Heaven. Youre laying up rewards in Heaven. Youre investing in Heaven because on this earth, it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to return good for evil, does it? But God notices, and He sees-and notice the end of that verse-and He says this: Blessed are you when people persecute you, hate you, revile you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely. Whats the motivation? He says, For great is your reward in Heaven. Yet, even on this earth when you do those things, what happens? In your heart of hearts, when you return good for evil, how do you feel? There is a joy; there is a knowledge; Gods Spirit answers with your spirit because you know that you did the right thing. You know you did the honorable thing. You know that youre investing in eternity, and theres a joy that comes from choosing to follow God. I challenge you this morning in an age of hedonism, in a culture that worships pleasure to live for pleasure yourself, to live for Gods pleasure and the pleasures of others because thats when you will find true pleasure, true joy, true reward, and true glory. Amen? Father, I thank You for Your Word. I pray that You would challenge us this morning to live for the things that really last and the things that really matter. Help us to be people who seek to glorify and please You and put others ahead of ourselves, knowing thats the path to true happiness, true joy and real rewards. Thank You that we can pray. In Jesus name, Amen.
