Okay, here we go. It is time for your hot takes. We open up the phone to you. This has really been something. Yeah, we want to hear your hot take. It means like an extreme opinion about something that's kind of random. It's kind of not that big of a deal, but a very extreme opinion. We like it. Bring it on. Okay, so the phone number, if you want, it's 85590 Brandt.

85590, B-R-A-N-T. What is your hot take? Hello there. Let's see what's going on here.

Hello. Hey, Brandt. It's Mike. I got a hot take on Christianese, particularly at church

when the pastor is about to give the invitation. He says, so if you're here this morning, I'm looking around.

We're all here.

Well, thanks, Mike, because I'm never going to be able to hear that again.

If I'm here, I am here. I am. I promise. So natural. In case you're wondering,

why should I actually pray? Why should I ask God? Like, he knows everything, right? Like,

he's like a big computer in the sky. Like, what's the point? Well, he's not a computer in this guy.

He's close to you it's a relationship

and in the Bible that relationship matters like what you ask for what you say shapes things

because he allows you to do that he allows that relationship to like oh that's oh, that's what you want because you asked. Yeah. And you don't have it because you didn't. Like, man, I don't want to miss out on that. Well, look at this. The Heinz people are coming out with the keg chup. It's a keg-sized thing to put ketchup in.

Wow, that's a lot of...

And they're selling them.

That's a lot of ketchup.

Does anyone love ketchup at that level?

No.

That's just, that's why this is so sad, even.

It's so brazen and it's obvious.

I think rants dressing
