You know what? I kind of joke about this. It's sort of a joke. I joke about going out into the content fields to pluck the best content for this program. And I do that every day before the show. Yes.

I literally do. I know. Oh, you do? You do. You go out. Yeah. I literally go out. And I go for a walk i go for a four-mile walk like

every day yes and while i'm out there i'm i'm asking god please help me find things to say that

i hope are spiritually encouraging the people and then i i dictate it into my phone an idea and then i

get in that's what i bring in yeah literally like i'm bringing in the... Well, there's no field. No, but I am walking out there. Yeah, you are out. And I'm thinking about that. So it's kind of true. Did you put this in your phone? What we're doing right now? I'm going to delete it. But the point is I go out and I and then I array it before

producer Sherry and you.

Here it is.

And say here it is. What do you think?

And I hope it pleases you.

And my heart is out there.

Not to have people

question it and they go, this is garbage.

It is true that people in our culture have made a lot of people, not everybody, of course,

but a lot of people have made politics their religion.

It's where they find meaning in life.

It's where they find purpose.

It's what they attend to in their minds so much of the time.

I just got to tell you, if my religion were that, I would have been out a long time ago.

Oh, my goodness.

It's not good enough.
