| 0:00.0 | So, Holy mackerel! I just watched a 15 second video of a guy swinging at three softball pitches. |
| 0:27.0 | He's out practicing, he's on a football field, looks like he's standing maybe in one end zone and he's hitting to the opposite |
| 0:33.8 | corner the opposite end zones he's probably hitting 350 to 400 without any |
| 0:39.8 | effort the guy just has this perfect kinetic chain. He shifts his weight and in fairness there is a lot to shift he's a big dude |
| 0:48.0 | But these balls are exploding off the bat in a way that defies physics. |
| 0:55.0 | It makes it, it sounds like a cannon is being fired at this football field. |
| 0:59.6 | And then the ball goes up and sustains altitude in a way that should not be possible. |

| 1:53.7 | then you get to the end of the narrative section of the Old Testament you get to Nehemiah |
| 1:56.5 | you're gonna be really tempted to look at this and be like Nehemiah and well yeah all the people |
| 2:02.0 | just got together and said the story that I just got done reading |
| 2:07.4 | over the previous 700-ish pages. It's so casual, it's so effortless. They just stood up together and were like here's exactly what |
| 2:15.9 | happened and they casually and effortlessly acknowledged their own |
