Welcome to the Brandt & Sherry Oddcast sponsored by Fellowship Boom Loads to order Brandt's latest book, The Men We Need, or

Distream Sherries Play. The bold and the sanctified go to Brandhanson.com.

So glad you were listening. I am Brandt, producer Sherry is here too.

You're talking about prayer and every morning going out to walk and pray and I always think of something you said which is

I don't want to miss the most important meeting of the day. Right. Right. Right. I do. I think about that. I agree with what I say.

I see you're like, yeah, whoever said that is right on point. I don't like he wants to see me. He wants to be with me.

If someone very important quote unquote say, they want to see you. They want to meet with you. You would do that.

And someone who has the power to change everything in your life. Yeah. And they want to know what's on your mind. Yeah.

You can't miss that. It is time for Brandt's three things. We haven't done that. I know. We haven't done this in a while. I miss the fanfare.

Brandt's three things. We're very nice. Yes. I'm going to talk about.

I'm going to talk about the length of the fanfare here. Right. This may seem like, wait, you're not the guy to talk about this.

And that's fine. But I think I am because I'm not a paradox. I want to talk about good friends and how to make good friends.

Why would you not be the guy to talk about? Because I'm just not naturally very social. Okay.

But I've come a long way. And it's part of its learning stuff. Right. Yeah. So it's going to be three things about making friends. That is coming up. I think you're going to want to stick around for this because people need friends.

If you want good friends, you have to remember, I even call this Hanson's law because I've always wanted a law. Okay. That's nice.

It's only when you actually get to know people that you discover how weird everybody really is.

So be ready for that. You're going to have to forgive people.

I think a lot of people have this ideal. And then the person lets them down. It's like, well, that's that or this person so this or so that and then that happened.

Okay. But you're going to be doing that the rest of your life. Yeah.

Good friendships are going to be yes, but. Right. Like, yeah. That happened, but you know, I can't constantly be breaking up with people.

Because you will. You'll find if you get to know people, you find out everybody's pretty weird at some level, including you, including you. Right. And you can't have community without forgiveness. There's just people want community, but they wanted on their turn. Like you can't do without forgiveness.

I have an advantage. It's really helped me. Okay. In my adult life. And then is I have a high tolerance. This is going to be my tip. You need to have a high tolerance for quirk.
