  13. - Oh, dude, I was getting into it, man.

  14. I was getting into it.

  15. - We don't want to lose too many people with us.

  16. - Yes.

  17. Oh my, I can't help it, David, every time

  18. you play that, I feel it, brother.

  19. I feel it, it's like it's Pentecostal time.

  20. - Oh, yeah. - We're gonna raise the roof.

  21. - Whoop, whoop, yeah.

  22. - I don't know where to start now.

  23. He's got me cracked.

  24. All right, it is time, my friends.

  25. Time for Bible bibs in a prayer.

  26. So, grab back up a coffee, a little bit of jet fuel,

  27. some turbo for this Tuesday morning.

  28. Now, me today, David, I am drinking protein.

  29. - There you go.

  30. - Jocco mok.

  31. (laughing)

  32. Which, Jocco Willink, he does a podcast,

  33. Retired Navy SEAL.

  34. He was the leader of the unit, most recognized,

  35. oh man.

  36. Kimmerfist, Fuluzir, not, but he, like Chris Kyle.

  37. - Yeah.

  38. - America Snyder. - Yeah, all of them guys.

  39. So, and he's a gorilla, dude.

  40. I mean, he is like a walking gorilla in the Andrithal.

  41. But so intelligent.

  42. Yeah, I seen this the other day at Walmart and I'm like,

  43. "Hmm, and it was on sale."

  44. - There you go.

  45. - We're trying a little Jocco.

  46. Again, not getting sponsored by Jocco,

  47. which that would be cool.

  48. - Yeah.

  49. - You get a chance to check out his interviews.

  50. This man is so well read and amazing.

  51. Yeah, a little protein shake this morning,

  52. David, do you ever do those?

  53. - I have tried protein shakes before.

  54. The ones that I've tried have always been a little bit chalky.

  55. - They all taste the same?

  56. - Yeah. - Chalk.

  57. - Yeah. - Chalk.

  58. - But yes, whatever makes you happy this Tuesday morning

  59. and hey folks, you know what?

  60. This kind of interesting Disney did a survey.

  61. Turns out six out of the seven dwarves are not happy.

  62. (laughing)

  63. So say it all that good morning friends.

  64. Good morning world.

  65. Welcome to the show.

  66. Let's turn this from a conversation into an experience.

  67. - How about it?

  68. And now the moment you've all been waiting for.

  69. What's up everyone?

  70. If you thought that intro was good, just wait.

  71. This is where it even gets better.

  72. Every mediocre host, a.k.a. brother, jam, needs a co-host.

  73. And lucky for you and especially for me,

  74. you got a great one in this man.

  75. Here we go, a man among men,

  76. a face that only a mother could love.

  77. The one and only Mr. David Keeter.

  78. Plus he's one of my very best friends in the whole wild world.

  79. Good morning sir.

  80. - Good morning, how you doing?

  81. - Nah, well, we're kind of pretty recording on this

  82. so just let you guys know.

  83. So we were both wondering how much snow did we get?

  84. - Yep, yep.

  85. - And by this time when this airs, we will know.

  86. - We will know, yes.

  87. But oh my, I wish I would about stock in milk and bread

  88. because sounds like everybody went bonkers.

  89. I gotta get my milk, gotta get my bread.

  90. Now David, I'm not the smartest man in the world.

  91. I know that.

  92. But the forecast, I didn't hear it saying

  93. it was gonna be for three weeks, four weeks.

  94. - No.

  95. - You know?

  96. - No, I don't, I mean my family goes through a lot of milk.

  97. We got three kids, so we buy a lot of them.

  98. - Right.

  99. - But are we making a mass quantities of French toast out there?

  100. - That's the right things, French toast.

  101. - I didn't get an invitation, did you get an invitation?

  102. - No.

  103. - No, I love French toast.

  104. - If I run out of bread or if I run out of eggs

  105. in the next couple of days, it'll be okay.

  106. - Yeah, yeah, you'll be able to get there.

  107. Our state department does a pretty good job

  108. of keeping the roads clear in that.

  109. So again, I just chuckled because I was in Walmart,

  110. it was Tuesday, prior to all this, last Tuesday.

  111. And the shelves were like empty almost.

  112. - Yeah.

  113. - Just like madness and sanity.

  114. - Yeah.

  115. (laughs)

  116. Not knocking anybody, but it's like the toilet paper center

  117. all over again.

  118. - Now there were some things that kind of did make sense.

  119. Like my wife said that they were low on popcorn.

  120. All right, I get that.

  121. You're gonna hunker down, you're gonna want some movies.

  122. - Yeah.

  123. - I get that, but the bread and the eggs,

  124. I don't, I don't get that.

  125. - No, comfort food, I get that.

  126. - Yeah.

  127. - You know, a little extra, this little extra that.

  128. - Yeah.

  129. - You know, making sure you got gas and appropriate

  130. batteries, I get that, you know,

  131. which you should always have your batteries.

  132. - Sure.

  133. - But yeah, so anyway.

  134. All the money they're making, the money they're making.

  135. So what is new in Keenerville, my friend?

  136. - Well, not too much, just trying to avoid the sicknesses,

  137. you know, that's going around so far, we're still healthy,

  138. but you know, keeps getting closer and closer.

  139. So we're trying to stay away from all that,

  140. but pretty quiet, just hiding from the weather.

  141. - Yeah.

  142. - Carrie dropped the ball on the other night.

  143. - I think I'm getting sick.

  144. - Oh no.

  145. - No!

  146. - She didn't.

  147. - That's good.

  148. - Why do you do that, coming?

  149. My BP grow goes up, you know, it's right.

  150. - Right, yeah.

  151. - You know, you gotta keep that down.

  152. - Yeah, yeah.

  153. - We don't need any more added stress.

  154. - No.

  155. Hey, once in the doctor the other day,

  156. he said you are in much better shape, blood-wise,

  157. all the tests, then you were a while back.

  158. - Yeah, and I went the other day,

  159. and my blood pressure's back under control.

  160. - No, there you go.

  161. - So we're working in it.

  162. - Yeah.

  163. - But so frustrating, dude.

  164. - You got to the point, and again, been dropping weight.

  165. You ever get to that point, you're just so hungry.

  166. And I know it's not healthy, but you starve yourself

  167. a little bit too, you fight that.

  168. - Yeah.

  169. - Well, last week, I just had four days of feeding.

  170. - Yeah.

  171. - Put on like six pounds.

  172. The day I go to the doctor, like seriously Jim,

  173. where's your self control?

  174. But like bread?

  175. Oh my goodness.

  176. I needed bread, 'cause I've cut bread out big time.

  177. But man, I had four pieces of toast throughout the week.

  178. Any of toast and butter and a little hot tea, that just...

  179. - Yep.

  180. - Yeah.

  181. - So yeah, but yeah, no, I was so happy.

  182. Colustra was like awesome.

  183. - Shitty.

  184. - Awesome.

  185. - Yeah, but other Jim might be around for a while.

  186. - Yeah, that'd be a good thing.

  187. - Yeah, now watch me go out with a splitting accident.

  188. Why didn't he get off the sled?

  189. - I don't know.

  190. - Oh, headlines, I can see it now.

  191. - For Jim killed a sledding accident.

  192. - He's running down the hill.

  193. - He's running down the hill.

  194. - Runs into a cow.

  195. Hey, you could do a live scene from there.

  196. This is the man to myth the legend David out here right now

  197. at the scene, supposedly where the cow survived.

  198. Brother Jim did not.

  199. - And brother Jim, your thoughts.

  200. Never mind.

  201. - Yeah.

  202. How about the cow?

  203. (laughing)

  204. Oh man, so life's pretty good then, just hunkering down.

  205. - Yep, yep.

  206. - Yeah, I think a lot of people are doing that.

  207. - Yep.

  208. - High up Nate and right now.

  209. - If I could convince you to take that mic

  210. and just turn it to face you with a little bit straighter.

  211. - Because there you go.

  212. 'Cause it's not a great side address mic.

  213. - Okay.

  214. - And yeah, that's where we go.

  215. - All right, there we go.

  216. - Now you got the right voice.

  217. - Oh, the right voice, yes.

  218. But how about you guys?

  219. What's your favorite comfort food?

  220. When the storm's coming up or you wanna get all cuddly

  221. inside, you got the fire going,

  222. watching a hallmark, watching your favorite movie.

  223. What is your favorite comfort food?

  224. Now come on guys, throw us a bone, let us know.

  225. Let us know.

  226. Me for me is always meat.

  227. I keep it simple.

  228. Meat, you know, once in a while, a little chocolate.

  229. And every once in a while, I'll get through the popcorn phase,

  230. but that, yeah.

  231. - I'm the same one.

  232. - Yeah, but every time we get a movie,

  233. here's got a hot popcorn.

  234. We could go through to a buffet and just be totally raw.

  235. Go to the movie, she's got a hot popcorn.

  236. - Well, you gotta get that $22 buck in a popcorn.

  237. - I know, you know.

  238. - It's like, what are you doing?

  239. I heard one time that they don't make hardly any movies,

  240. any money on the movies.

  241. The margin on the movies is razor thin.

  242. The only place that the theaters make any money

  243. is on concession.

  244. - Oh, yeah.

  245. - So, there you go.

  246. - Oh, yeah.

  247. - Well, you're a module value packet.

  248. - Yeah.

  249. - Yeah.

  250. - Well, yeah, I need something to drink,

  251. so go ahead and take this.

  252. - Yeah.

  253. - Well, Candy does look pretty good, I guess I'll take.

  254. Well, you can only have from the top, bro.

  255. But I want the bottom row, you know.

  256. - Yeah.

  257. - Well, here's a couple extra bucks.

  258. - We don't go to the movies very often,

  259. but when we do, we sneak in, or,

  260. now, I don't know, here's a question for you.

  261. Is that a sin to bring your own snacks to the movie theater?

  262. - 'Cause we do that.

  263. - Why, yes.

  264. - Give me that one, man.

  265. - I don't know.

  266. - Let's ask the people, what do you think?

  267. Now, if it's not posted, yeah.

  268. I mean, I'm gonna go to Walmart and spend, you know,

  269. five bucks for a giant bag of candy as opposed to 10 bucks

  270. for like, right.

  271. - And bring your own water, yeah.

  272. I mean, I'm gonna go walking in there

  273. with a whole first of a chicken,

  274. although I would love that.

  275. That'd be fantastic.

  276. - Man, that is a great question.

  277. I could say, yeah, because you're,

  278. but is it a law?

  279. It's just, I mean,

  280. you're not stealing anything, you know?

  281. - Right.

  282. - There's no rules necessarily.

  283. Let's suppose somebody saying, you know.

  284. - Yeah.

  285. - Man, that's a good one.

  286. - Yeah.

  287. - Oh, darn you.

  288. (laughs)

  289. - It probably puts me on the spot.

  290. 'Cause as a pastry, you know, you should say,

  291. well, I guess, yeah, but then common sense,

  292. you're there with your family, you're having a good time

  293. and due to the cost, could you blame it

  294. on the cost of everything?

  295. - Yeah.

  296. - You know, man, I don't know.

  297. I'm not gonna bring that up in discussion.

  298. When I get into my mentor group, I'll ask that.

  299. Here's a question for you.

  300. - Yeah.

  301. - Yeah.

  302. - Now again, if you're, you know,

  303. if you bring in a bucket of KFC and cold-slaw-match-datas

  304. and you're ruining getting grease all over the place,

  305. but if you bring it in a candy bar

  306. or if they don't have, okay, what about your diabetic?

  307. - Yeah.

  308. - Okay.

  309. They don't offer diabetic, like chocolates

  310. or anything, sugar-free.

  311. - Right.

  312. - So to me, you know, you don't offer what I need.

  313. - Yeah.

  314. - What's the harm in that?

  315. Maybe you don't like pop, maybe you're allergic to, you know?

  316. - Yeah.

  317. - I guess that was a fine line.

  318. I don't know.

  319. - Yeah.

  320. - And yeah, that, whoo.

  321. - When they expect to go there on early Tuesday morning,

  322. - No!

  323. - Oh, you really rocked my whole world on this one.

  324. You know, and again, if it's, it's just somebody,

  325. is it really a law?

  326. - No.

  327. - No, it's not in the books, it's just a, you know,

  328. no shirts, no shoes, no service.

  329. - Yeah.

  330. - Well.

  331. - Are you being disrespectful?

  332. I don't know, I mean, maybe try and enjoy your, yeah.

  333. - Thank you.

  334. - You come back and say, well, why don't you make things

  335. reasonably price that instead of marking it up, you know,

  336. like your candy, your popcorn.

  337. - Yeah.

  338. - You know, I understand you gotta make a profit, but,

  339. - Yeah.

  340. - You know, gouging it either, is that right?

  341. There, let me throw it back, is that right?

  342. - Yeah.

  343. - You can pay $6 there for a candy bar,

  344. and I can go buy it for $2 or $1.50.

  345. That's not really fair, you know?

  346. - Right.

  347. - And again, what if you don't have what I like?

  348. - Yeah.

  349. - You know, I'm paying to enjoy this movie,

  350. having a good time with my family, you know,

  351. had a great night.

  352. - I don't know, folks, what do you think?

  353. - I'm saying that, though, what's your favorite food

  354. to sneak in?

  355. What's your favorite snack?

  356. - Ha ha, there we go.

  357. - Come on, pay a game from back in the day,

  358. or even now, what did you like to sneak in?

  359. Or hide a walker?

  360. Huh?

  361. - Here's another idea of what we're talking about.

  362. - Oh man, you're killing me now.

  363. - We'll talk about food and movie theaters.

  364. Maybe this is allowed, I don't know,

  365. like I said, I don't go very much,

  366. but Lin's driving, what if they allowed tailgating,

  367. bring your own grill, grill your own food?

  368. - Oh dude, that would be great.

  369. - Oh, would that be fantastic?

  370. I mean, maybe they do, I don't go that much,

  371. but that'd be awesome.

  372. This show was barbecue and a bunch of meat.

  373. - Right.

  374. Well, okay, let me throw this out,

  375. you've opened up Pandora's Box now.

  376. High school football games, your tailgating, right?

  377. - Yeah.

  378. - You can't tell me that they're in a couple of these,

  379. and I'm not talking crush orange in a coosie,

  380. having a little, yeah, yeah, yeah, before the game,

  381. I've seen it, haven't done it, but I've seen it.

  382. You can smell it.

  383. Now, there's no drinking on school grounds.

  384. - Right, right.

  385. So, but where's the enforcement act?

  386. - Right.

  387. Where's the patrol officers walking through?

  388. Where's the administration?

  389. - Yeah.

  390. - You know?

  391. Or, okay, I gotta have a cigarette.

  392. And most of the people are pretty cool about this,

  393. and I don't mind, they walk down to the end.

  394. You know, out of the way, often they have their cigarette.

  395. Now, technically, no smoking.

  396. - Yeah.

  397. - You know?

  398. Ah, okay, here's this one, David.

  399. Well, you really open up.

  400. - We're really in trouble now.

  401. - How about here at church?

  402. - Yeah.

  403. - Okay, we have signs in a smoking.

  404. But if I go out here to the edge of the parking lot,

  405. and light one up, 'cause it's a struggle I'm dealing with,

  406. how would you handle that?

  407. - Me personally, I wouldn't say anything,

  408. 'cause I'm non-confrontational,

  409. but that's me.

  410. I wouldn't say nothing.

  411. - Wouldn't say nothing at all.

  412. - That's between them and God.

  413. - Yeah.

  414. - Now, if they were standing here at the front door, hey bro,

  415. can you at least go across the road?

  416. - Yeah.

  417. - You know?

  418. - Please don't rip a dart right in front of the door.

  419. - Right.

  420. I've never heard that one, rip a dart.

  421. - Yeah.

  422. - Okay, okay.

  423. - I can get with it.

  424. - Oh, get with it, get with it here.

  425. I mean, my house's all crooked now,

  426. and I don't know what I'm doing, David.

  427. See, that's what I get.

  428. But now, again, it's meeting people where they're at.

  429. - Yeah.

  430. - How many of us try to get away from coffee?

  431. There we go.

  432. When he cups coffee, we have a day.

  433. What else, David, gets us?

  434. - I've tried to cut back on the amount of sugar

  435. that I'm taking in, 'cause I'm headed towards pre-divitis.

  436. So, you know, but cutting--

  437. - Oh yeah, back way up.

  438. - There you go.

  439. - Nine, 10 glasses a week, to your day.

  440. Used to be no problem for me.

  441. I've found that, no problem.

  442. - Yeah.

  443. - And that's caffeine, too.

  444. - Coffee, so-- - There you go.

  445. Well, you mentioned French toast.

  446. That was beyond us today, my friend.

  447. But we are so out of here today.

  448. - Throw the script out the window.

  449. - Yeah, throw the script out the window.

  450. - Well, let me ask you something.

  451. You mentioned French toast, okay.

  452. What kind of butter you putting on that?

  453. And what kind of syrup are you gonna put on that French toast?

  454. Now, the big guy brother, Jim,

  455. I ain't doing that diabetic--

  456. (laughs)

  457. That's syrup.

  458. (laughs)

  459. - Give me some anchovies.

  460. - Yep.

  461. - Yeah, and give me some butter.

  462. - Yep.

  463. - Yeah, it's, oh my goodness.

  464. I don't do that very often, but man, I ain't doing that.

  465. - Junk, it's terrible.

  466. It's terrible.

  467. It's like these protein shakes.

  468. It takes horrible.

  469. (laughs)

  470. I don't care what you say, they taste horrible.

  471. - Yeah.

  472. - All right, but I'm trying to get some protein in my body.

  473. - Yeah.

  474. - So again, if we start examining ourselves,

  475. how many bad little habits do we do?

  476. 'Cause that, okay, I'm gonna be honest,

  477. it burns my backside.

  478. And we've got people here in our church

  479. that old school Christian,

  480. when you start talking about sinners,

  481. oh, the ones who drink, the ones who smoke.

  482. - Yeah.

  483. - Number one and number two.

  484. Why is that?

  485. - It's just been ingrained in my three hours.

  486. - Why is that three hours?

  487. - I'm out rush more of sinners.

  488. - No, I don't know.

  489. - Great question, maybe some of you could answer, man.

  490. Because again, let's break it down,

  491. what we're doing to our body.

  492. - Yeah.

  493. - And again, what should we really be eating in grass?

  494. Honey and locus?

  495. You know?

  496. - I'm loving bread.

  497. - Great question to me.

  498. - I think it comes back to,

  499. well, not everything in moderation.

  500. - No, little smug, little crack in moderating it, no.

  501. But you know, whatever you do,

  502. don't be over the top with it.

  503. - Moderation. - Keep it under control.

  504. The Bible says, be not drunk.

  505. - Right.

  506. - Doesn't say don't drink.

  507. It says, be not drunk in excess.

  508. - Right.

  509. Here's my thing.

  510. I heard this from Pastor John.

  511. He told me,

  512. "Anything that gets in the way of your relationship

  513. with Jesus Christ, that becomes a problem."

  514. - Yeah.

  515. - Now that opens the door to anything.

  516. - Sure.

  517. - Covering his ears.

  518. Too much bacon.

  519. - Yep.

  520. - That could be a problem.

  521. That could get in a relationship, you know?

  522. And again, I don't have my phone with me,

  523. but oh my goodness.

  524. So again, come on people, before we're judging,

  525. but that just gets me, David, I hear it every time.

  526. Oh, alcohol, beer, and smoking.

  527. Wait a minute.

  528. (murmurs)

  529. There's a little bit more to that.

  530. - Yeah.

  531. - That's just me.

  532. - Yeah.

  533. - And again, I'm the kind of guy, Inc.

  534. - Tattoo's.

  535. - Oh my.

  536. Oh my.

  537. Don't you dare have a tattoo.

  538. Let me ask you something.

  539. If you want to approach somebody, my friends,

  540. about Jesus, if you want to witness to them,

  541. if you want to testify,

  542. if better yet you want to get involved in their life,

  543. then you come up and start ripping their tatt.

  544. What's going to happen, David?

  545. - I'm not gonna win friends and influence people,

  546. that's for sure.

  547. - You know what I do?

  548. Say Dave has got a big old tattoo right there

  549. on his, where do you want your tattoo at?

  550. - Oh, no sticking on my back, I guess.

  551. - All right, well, I ain't gonna be looking at your back.

  552. My arm.

  553. - My arm.

  554. - Okay, he's got this wicked looking eagle.

  555. - All right.

  556. - On his arm.

  557. My words are, dude, that's some sick ink, man.

  558. Where'd you get that done?

  559. - Yeah.

  560. - It opens up a conversation, especially if they know

  561. you're a pastor, because it's like,

  562. you're already waiting for the, yeah.

  563. - No, dude, tell me where you got it.

  564. I'm gonna show you mine.

  565. But again, you start to open up a conversation,

  566. and that's where it can lead to Jesus.

  567. But again, we see people covered in ink

  568. or got a nose piercing or whatever.

  569. Oh my, you know, they must belong to the clan

  570. or the six, six, six people or something.

  571. Come on, guys, just me.

  572. - I mean, people who had a life before it,

  573. not everybody started off their life saved them

  574. or saved the whole time.

  575. - Exactly.

  576. Yeah, I love it how some of these guys get their ink redone

  577. like taking something that is not, you know,

  578. pretty graphic, and they turn it in

  579. to tell their story about Jesus.

  580. - Oh, boy, no.

  581. All right, I don't even know how we got there.

  582. - We got way off track somewhere.

  583. - Yeah, I'll be waiting for a note from SBR call saying,

  584. we understand that you're doing, yeah.

  585. - Yeah, and I drink pop too.

  586. And I might actually have two pieces of pie once in a while,

  587. usually not, but.

  588. - Well, and I poked in examples of the kind of music

  589. we were talking about last week on the program.

  590. So I might be right there with you.

  591. - Oh yeah, but again, man, it's true.

  592. It's real.

  593. - Yep.

  594. - Come on, we gotta get real with the dishes.

  595. - Tell me all fired up now.

  596. All right.

  597. I'm just David, if I'm calming down here,

  598. I'm gonna have a sip of my orange crush.

  599. You got any, come across any good dad jokes lately.

  600. Well, let me see.

  601. Why do the Rolling Stones stop making music?

  602. - Well, because they got to the bottom of the hill.

  603. (laughing)

  604. - Well, you look at some and look like they got rolled over

  605. at the bottom of the hill.

  606. (laughing)

  607. - I got any more, one more here.

  608. - Oh, let's see what I got here.

  609. We're having technical difficulties with the audio here.

  610. I'm not sure what's going on.

  611. Some a little distracted, but,

  612. - Oh, sorry, why can't you?

  613. - You're good.

  614. What does a nosy pepper do?

  615. - I might have done this before, I'm not sure.

  616. - No, I don't think this one.

  617. - It gets all the Pennial business.

  618. (laughing)

  619. Say that again, I like the accent.

  620. - I'll not be in your business.

  621. - I'll be in your business.

  622. - All right.

  623. Well, speaking of business,

  624. another sunrise, another chance to shine,

  625. a chance to share the world,

  626. and everyone around that you are one special person.

  627. You have been blessed.

  628. You, David and myself, we are alive.

  629. And for many of us, almost healthy.

  630. Yes, as I've said before, aches and pains, we got 'em,

  631. but we are still blessed, my friends.

  632. So, come on, come on, come on.

  633. Enjoy Mr. David and I, as we say,

  634. thank you Lord for another day of opportunity.

  635. Just waiting, waiting, waiting for you and I to go out and make our mark.

  636. We have work to do, my friends.

  637. And again, allow me to remind you every morning

  638. to beautiful morning.

  639. Find the good in life and forget the bad.

  640. And news flash, hey, everybody's got problems.

  641. Even mountains and their lives, valleys,

  642. they're going through, through, but you know what?

  643. You are not alone.

  644. And when I am, well, why, why, why, brother Jim?

  645. 'Cause I'm getting all excited here.

  646. Jesus and Jesus alone, rejoice that you and I are alive.

  647. And when you look at that mirror, you're beautiful.

  648. You matter in this world.

  649. You are a creation of God in his image.

  650. And oh my goodness, you are loved.

  651. You are loved.

  652. Now you know David's speaking of protein.

  653. And man, now I'm thinking about,

  654. man, just lost it.

  655. French toast.

  656. French toast?

  657. Yeah, eggs.

  658. Eggs are an excellent diet's food.

  659. Yeah, protein.

  660. And if you don't like the taste,

  661. just mix them with flour, sugar and butter.

  662. And bake it 350 degrees.

  663. And you'll like it then.

  664. Bam, yeah, baby.

  665. Oh, there you go, going against the diet, there you go.

  666. Remove the flour, the sugar and the butter.

  667. I guess be like rocky and just drink the eggs.

  668. There you go.

  669. You know, you got to drink them whole.

  670. I've tried that.

  671. You can't chew them up.

  672. You can't.

  673. You just got all.

  674. Oh, yeah.

  675. Yeah, see me try to chew one up.

  676. That was a sight.

  677. All right, well, we're going to dive into this

  678. and we're going to dive into a big one today,

  679. a very big problem in our world.

  680. But we don't want to talk about it.

  681. Wonder why?

  682. Could it be we're embarrassed?

  683. We don't want to go there.

  684. We don't want to go there.

  685. David, my friend, remember back in the 80s,

  686. when you went to the VHS store to get your movies

  687. for the weekend.

  688. Yeah.

  689. Oh, yeah, good times, brother.

  690. You were praying the top gun,

  691. the little circle was there,

  692. so you could watch it again for the hundredth time,

  693. just taking in the old VCR, 10-year-old Fired Fired Jets.

  694. (laughing)

  695. And getting a hot girlfriend at the end there

  696. and driving the big old crack-rocket.

  697. Yep.

  698. Yes.

  699. All right.

  700. But if you remember, there was always,

  701. and I've talked about this,

  702. remember there, the little saloon door there,

  703. at a branch.

  704. Never been a branch, but I know what you mean.

  705. Yes.

  706. That little secret room where dirty movies were,

  707. that you weren't allowed to go,

  708. but curiosity is a young man.

  709. What's in there?

  710. What's in there?

  711. Adults only.

  712. They didn't say about bringing any food though in there.

  713. (laughing)

  714. Pornography.

  715. Oh my goodness, good old porn.

  716. Whoa, Jim, you're really going into something here today.

  717. Yes, I am.

  718. We're setting it up.

  719. And I don't know how far we'll get there.

  720. We might have to come back on this one because of time,

  721. but pornography uses its use in common,

  722. even among Christians.

  723. Here we go, David.

  724. Here's some reports on this facts.

  725. About 54% of practicing Christians report consuming

  726. pornography at least occasionally.

  727. That's only somewhat lower than a general population,

  728. about 68% of not Christians.

  729. Showing Christians are not exempt from the issue.

  730. Among Christian men, specifically up to 75%

  731. report viewing pornography at some level.

  732. And about 40% of Christian women do as well.

  733. Island blows me, women.

  734. You know, thinking of the guys, the pig.

  735. Sorry, buddy.

  736. Sorry.

  737. Frequency varies within that group.

  738. Some view it weekly or daily, around 15% weekly

  739. and about 7% daily among practicing Christian surveyed.

  740. Many feel alone in the struggle.

  741. Well, of course, you're not going to talk about that.

  742. A large majority of Christian porn users report

  743. that no one is helping them quit or walking

  744. through the struggle with them.

  745. I wonder why, David?

  746. Because it's a hush little secret.

  747. It's like little grandma and Ethel had a little drinking problem.

  748. You know, had a little flask that nobody wanted to talk about,

  749. you know, from indisciplinal purposes.

  750. Attitudes toward porn among Christians are shifting.

  751. A significant portion of Christians believe one can regularly

  752. view pornography and still have a healthy sexual life

  753. with more than half agreeing with that statement.

  754. Ah, I don't agree with that one.

  755. Nearly half of practicing Christians who use porn

  756. are comfortable with their level of consumption.

  757. Pastors also report struggles.

  758. Now I'm glad you're talking about pastors on this.

  759. Many pastors see the issue as common,

  760. around 86% say porn use among pastors is common.

  761. About 67% of pastors,

  762. poor having struggled with pornography at some point in their life

  763. and roughly 18% currently struggle with it.

  764. It only about one third of pastors

  765. view it as a major problem in their congregation

  766. revealing a disconnect between real usage

  767. and past story or perception.

  768. And many churches offer little support.

  769. Only about 10% of Christians say their church provides programming

  770. to help people struggle with pornography.

  771. We don't hear.

  772. And maybe this is the way we start opening up

  773. first here Bible Bibs and Prayer.

  774. It's a problem.

  775. It's a problem, but it's a shhhh.

  776. You don't talk about it.

  777. Right.

  778. You're not talking embarrassment.

  779. Just think if we go down each road a day and lie detector,

  780. do you watch porn or not?

  781. How many little bells and whistles will go off?

  782. Describe what porn is.

  783. Okay, let me ask you this, my friends.

  784. Back in the day and we've joked about this.

  785. The JC Penny catalog that would come in the mail.

  786. And it had to launch a section, it had to do all of us

  787. what is, you know, drool over.

  788. Yeah.

  789. Is that considered porn?

  790. It could be.

  791. Okay.

  792. Depending on, I think it comes down to, well, in some cases

  793. I think it comes down to the intended use.

  794. What you're using it for.

  795. Ah, very good.

  796. Very good grasshopper.

  797. Yeah.

  798. Are you lusting?

  799. Yes.

  800. Are you the individual lusting over a male or female?

  801. I'm not going to discriminate against men on this one, men and women.

  802. Yeah.

  803. You know, because I hate to say it, David, from personal experience,

  804. there are some crazy, kinky women out there that are just nasty.

  805. And again, I'm just saying what it is from my own personal experience.

  806. You want to hear some mouths that drop some serious,

  807. that my face turns red?

  808. Words that they use?

  809. Holy moly.

  810. And they're very open about it.

  811. They're very open about their sex life.

  812. Yeah.

  813. And I'm just like, I don't even want to be around this.

  814. Now this was prior to.

  815. Sure.

  816. But still, it wasn't that long ago.

  817. But yeah, is there a porn problem in the church?

  818. Is there a porn problem in America?

  819. Well, absolutely.

  820. Sex sells, right?

  821. We've talked about that.

  822. Sex sells.

  823. And we're all lustful in some way or another.

  824. How do we control or lust?

  825. How do we look at things?

  826. How do we look?

  827. Let's be honest, David.

  828. I know we've talked about this, but there are some women out there that don't leave much to the imagination the way they dress.

  829. Yeah.

  830. And they're clothed, but good golly, missyly.

  831. Barely.

  832. Barely.

  833. Or what they're wearing is so tight.

  834. You get my drift, you know?

  835. Yeah.

  836. So again, is that considered porn in a way, you know?

  837. And I guess we're going to get more into this.

  838. And I guess I should have looked it up first.

  839. And I know maybe I got it coming up here.

  840. What is the definition of pornography?

  841. That would be one there, you know?

  842. Yeah.

  843. And, but again, I think anything is getting you to lust.

  844. That's got to fall in on the Christian side of it.

  845. Yeah.

  846. With our eyes, with our heart.

  847. Even though we don't touch it, David.

  848. Even though we don't touch it.

  849. Yeah.

  850. But in our mind, in our eyes, in our heart, what are we doing with those images?

  851. Now, what do you do with the flip side of that?

  852. You're going to get the people who say, you can't tell them how to dress.

  853. They can dress over where they want.

  854. I'll pull scripture on that one.

  855. I know I got scripture on that.

  856. But again, you're setting yourself up.

  857. Yeah.

  858. Come on.

  859. You're wearing Satan pants, which I always call those stretchy pants, you know?

  860. Yeah.

  861. Not spandex.

  862. The women wear the workout pants.

  863. Like the yoga pants?

  864. Yeah, yoga pants.

  865. I call them Satan pants because, yeah, it draws attention.

  866. Yeah.

  867. Yeah.

  868. What are you doing?

  869. David, if you were a woman, why are you doing that?

  870. Yeah.

  871. Going out in public, wearing something so tight that you can see everything.

  872. And, Lee, there's nothing to imagination.

  873. Why are you doing it?

  874. Well, it used to be, you know, 10, 15 years ago, the trend then was they'd always wear longer

  875. shirts that covered most of that.

  876. There you go.

  877. But that seems to have changed.

  878. And now it's all out there.

  879. It's all out there.

  880. Yeah.

  881. Yeah.

  882. But you got to call the guys out too.

  883. Oh.

  884. Skitty jeans and pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with your pants

  885. on the ground.

  886. And the whole, the whole gray sweat pants thing, which I don't, I don't get, but, you know,

  887. it, it, it, it, or educate me on this.

  888. I don't know what that is.

  889. There's all these things online about guys and gray sweatpants because apparently, you know,

  890. it leaves nothing to be imagined.

  891. It's, I don't know.

  892. I mean, I guess with anything it has to do with the fit, but that's kind of the, you did not know any of this.

  893. Yeah.

  894. Well, thank goodness I don't own gray sweatpants because I would be clueless on this.

  895. Yeah.

  896. Anyway, we're going to stop there because boy, this got way way into beginning off the reservation.

  897. But hey, that's what's great about this.

  898. We do what we want to do.

  899. Yeah, we don't have a producer coming down on us or sponsors saying, hey, you know, there's David myself in the pig.

  900. Yes.

  901. Still looking for a companion for him, by the way, and our lives when we get home and they say, oh, yes, what?

  902. Yeah.

  903. Yeah.

  904. But, uh, we're going to end it there right now and, uh, we're going to come back to this.

  905. But I want to ask you, do you deal with this problem?

  906. Maybe in the past, how do you see, what do you view as pornography?

  907. A lot of questions there.

  908. And have you seen where it is, you know, a problem in our youth with our youth, especially our youth,

  909. are our world today in our schools and our homes?

  910. And again, do you can do anything in the privacy or home?

  911. Right.

  912. I mean, they've got it now to where you can interact like that AI thing.

  913. Yeah.

  914. To where, you know, you can create your own, your own virtual girlfriend.

  915. There you go, whatever you want to call it, I was looking for the words, appropriate words for that.

  916. Yeah.

  917. That's kind of freaky.

  918. You know, and I've seen, you know, they have life like human dolls out there that you can purchase companions.

  919. And it's crazy what we're coming up with.

  920. And now throw in AI and the ability, I mean, that's a little scary, little scary.

  921. All right, my friends, that about does it for this Tuesday morning.

  922. Hopefully you've dug out a little bit.

  923. Hopefully the snow is not that deep.

  924. And I'm praying it's still not snowing on Tuesday morning.

  925. I don't know.

  926. Mr. David, my friend and he closing thoughts of comments for this segment.

  927. No, just try and stay warm out there.

  928. Stay safe and share your thoughts with us on.

  929. Yeah, we want to hear feedback from people.

  930. We can talk to ourselves.

  931. Yeah, all day.

  932. All day, yeah.

  933. Yeah, so it's good conversation.

  934. But we'd love to have a third or fourth of fifth.

  935. Yeah, let us know what you're thinking.

  936. Maybe we're too goofed way off the reservation on our way to the nut house.

  937. Yeah, maybe.

  938. But that's all right.

  939. My daughter told me the other day, it's like, Dad, you really, there's some things you shouldn't be saying.

  940. I'm like, I don't care.

  941. I said, one, that's what I got David for to keep me somewhat edited.

  942. But again, it's being real.

  943. I'm just going to call a spade a spade.

  944. And what's wrong with that?

  945. In a loving way, in a loving way, but call a spade a spade.

  946. How many pastors are willing to talk about porn?

  947. That's a dangerous word or that's a...

  948. No, it is what it is, dude.

  949. You got to embrace it.

  950. And when I say embrace it, it's a problem.

  951. So what is the church?

  952. What are we going to do about it?

  953. All right, may God continue to bless you just as well, may you and I continue to think

  954. our Lord above for our blessings each and every day.

  955. And if we meet again, well then we will smile and rejoice and if not then this party will be well made.

  956. Thank you for joining David and myself here on Bible Bibles in a Prayer.

  957. This is the big guy, Brother Jim.

  958. [Coffee]

  959. [Prayer]
