Welcome to Politics by Faith. This is where we take the news of the day, and we bring it to the Bible. So we can walk away with some peace and perspective. There's new headlines every day, but Ecclesiasty says there's nothing new under the sun. So thanks to being here to get the true story. We are just about to head to the airport, so I'm going to keep this one quick. Kids are sleeping. So I'm trying to fit it in before the kids wake up and then we're out of here headed back home.

So we're going to keep it quick here. Also, this is not a political, not doing politics day.

This is more just me having to get something off my chest. Two sports stories. First, there's an

He had the second highest scoring game ever.

1:26.2

But it finally happened yesterday with with Adebeo Fonticino.

1:33.9

So the only time, there's only been two times, sorry, there's only been one other time

1:38.3

when two players combined scored over 100.

1:41.5

And there was a famous headline or it was a joke.

1:44.9

And it said,

1:51.1

Willett-Chamberland and Al Etl's combined for 117 points. And Will got 100 and Al got 17.

1:57.4

No other time in history have two players in the NBA combined to score 100 points. But they did yesterday. Adabo with 83, and then this other guy,

2:06.8

Funchedella, whatever, with 18 for a total of 101. Now, that's the headline. What really happened? I guess the wizards, who they were playing against, worst team in the league,
