You know what happens in religious worlds? Like you can become famous or get lots of attention in that world for being good at Christian talk or music or whatever.

There's a poem. I just heard about this poem called Palm Monday. The day after Palm Sunday and it's about this donkey that goes walking back into Jerusalem.

Oh, that's interesting. He's like, hey, I'm that donkey. Why are you guys making a big deal? I mean, just yesterday I was coming down here.

You guys were throwing on the palm trees and going on. Where's the hey? What's up? I guess in the poem, his mom has to be like, hey, actually wasn't about you. It was about Jesus.

Oh, man, that's good. Yeah, and you're an awesome donkey. I'm going to be wrong. You mean a lot to me, but it wasn't about you after all.

Is it genius? I don't know. I don't know if it's genius, but I'm not wearing one contact lens.

You are? Yeah, I'm profoundly near sighted and always happened. But I've found now like if I have a good contact lens and I can't see up close, can't read little print.

Okay. So I keep one contact in for distance. That can't be right. And then the other one I leave it out so I can read easily. I love my phone.

Did an optometrist suggest that to you? No, because they're very limited in their thinking.

I have more of an expansive, innovative. I don't know. Am I a Steve Jobs like in a van or when it comes to optometry?

I'm not having that discussion. People are out there having that discussion. I can't weigh in on that.

Been an adult for a while now and I've seen a lot of stuff. One thing that has not been as big an issue as I thought it was going to be in life.

When I was a kid it was quicksand. I do remember a lot of lessons. Yeah, a lot of lessons.

I'm going to at least run into that a few times. Right. And never did.

It looks like Princess Bride, Batman. No, it was very prevalent when we were growing up.

Every show at some point, I think fauncy at some point, because it really has turned out to be okay.

Okay, this is a feature of the program. So can you do the intro? Sure. And now a master class on joke telling with your instructor, Brant Hansen.

My wife and I want to make a trip to Norway, but we're looking at it. I don't I don't know if we can afford it.

That's funny. Okay. All right. And that was silenced here in the studio. That's funny. I can hear.

You can hear people laugh after. Laughter in your head. Yes. So is that what you're telling us?
