Well, several people have called our attention to a, in fact, it's surprising, a lot of people have called our attention to a satirical YouTube video that features you.

0:18.5

It's from Lutheran satire and stars two animated Irish characters named Donald and Connell

0:25.6

who humorously confront well-known people. And these videos are entertaining and produced to present

0:33.9

Lutheran doctrine in a clever way and you're one of their latest victims.

0:39.3

So first, let's just deal with the popular meme that they bring up that you look like

0:46.7

former lead singer of Van Halen David Lee Roth, which, you know, none of us knew that until you shave your beard off, Bill.

about a month, and it's already, it has over 77,000 views, over 6,000 likes. And we're going to check out

2:37.4

the first clip now. And by the way, they refer to anyone with whom they disagree as Patrick.

2:45.5

I think it comes from a video they did on St. Patrick that they disagree with him on his view of the Trinity.

2:52.3

So they call you Patrick throughout the video. Here's the first clip.
