Now the story of the Jewish exiles who lost everything and the one man who had no choice but to help them rebuild it.

0:09.0

It's the Book of Nehemiah.

0:18.5

I think everybody's got different levels of anger. You got the levels that are just above basic annoyance

0:21.0

and then you have stuff that goes all the way down to super super

0:24.0

seething mad. My guess is that if you just think about it for a second you can kind of

0:28.9

rank those out in terms of what makes you a little mad, what makes you medium mad, and what makes you the most mad.

0:37.4

For me, I discovered the most mad when I was probably 10 11 maybe 12 and I think I've maybe told the story before so I don't need to tell the story again and plus memory fades

0:50.5

so I don't want to get details wrong on a story where I'm calling somebody a liar but

0:54.8

somebody was a liar when I was roughly 12.

0:59.3

We were friends we were just getting to know each other and a situation happened where he made a big flashy show of

1:05.8

1:36.4

Now it sounds like scandalous. I should have just gone detail wise. The issue in question is

1:41.6

five bucks to be clear and what happened to the five bucks.

1:46.4

It's not really that salacious a story or anything.

1:50.4

But it made me so angry when we're there and the stories coming out and the kid knows he's lying

1:55.9

It's not even like you know could be misinterpreted maybe no no he knows he's lying and I am just an unfortunate casualty in a game he has to play because this is a lie he has to tell and I had never in my life felt anger burn so hot as I felt in that moment.

2:17.1

I think I mentioned that was when I was 12.

2:19.4

Look, I forgive the guy, right?

2:21.4

He was probably 12 or 13 or something too people do dumb things when they're 12 or 13 I hope people forgive me for dumb things I did when I was 12 or 13 I hope people forgive me for dumb things I did yesterday
