We would all love to tell you.
I didn't sign an NDA.
It's not my decision.
It's not my decision.
I can tell you.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
Well, so what's going on with everybody's lives?
How are you guys doing?
Everything's pretty good.
We need to catch everybody up on what's happening.
My sister just got married.
Oh, that's cool.
Yep.
I was bridesmaid.
It was a beautiful wedding.
Where was the wedding?
It was in Chattanooga.
Tennis.
Beautiful area.
Yeah, yeah.
It was really cool.
And yeah, beautiful sacrament.
She's just elated and just feeling really good.
And I'm really, really happy.
You're a bridesmaid, but not the maid of honor.
Did you go to the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, the little mall they have there?
I did see it.
I drove by.
No.
There's a comedy club in there called the Comedy Catch.
Oh, no, I drove by the Choo Choo.
A little restaurant down the street called Pickles Bar.
Yeah, there was a cool little strip there.
I also know a guy from Chattanooga, and I used to love the way he said Chattanooga.
Chattanooga is my favorite word you can say in that southern accent because it's like, he said Chattanooga.
Chattanooga.
Too sad.
Careful.
Careful.
So you watch your mouth.
You can't say it with a hard heart.
I get what you're saying now.
I get what you're saying.
How about you guys, Travis?
What's going on with you, man?
I've been working here at the How's the recovery?
How's the recovery?
Oh, it's been okay.
I don't know if I have an NDA.
I can't talk about it.
It was a James Bond training injury, right?
It was a James Bond.
Sorry, I just violated your NGOs.
Travis does all his own stunts.
All of my own stunts.
It's true.
It was jumping off of it.
In that Lord of the Rings sketch, I did fall into the bushes or whatever.
That was such a fun one.
I was so surprised that you didn't get, what is it, Poison Ivy?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, because I got poison ivy all over my clothes on that one.
Yes.
Man, I got lucky too.
Yeah, I guess I just got lucky because there was also a part where Brandon made me like hide in the bushes and use this smoke machine.
And he's like, no, get in the bushes.
I'm like, really?
Okay.
So I'm just like, it was weird.
Yeah, there were a lot of mosquitoes down there.
I was covered up.
I think my favorite part of that sketch, well, there's two favorites.
It's when you're up in my face and you're going, kaka!
And then the other part that was my favorite was when you had, you come out and you're like, oh, I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
Oh, no, no, no.
My favorite part was when he said, oh, I just came over the Misty Mountains cold.
Woo!
So cool.
Be sure to check out the Lord of the Rings sketch.
Yeah, Rings of Power.
It's a sneak peek.
We've got a way better animated squirrel than the one that's in the new Snow White trailer from the Daily Wire.
We should make a best of Babylon Bee sketches playlist on YouTube.
There are so many.
My friend just discovered the brand.
I was pulling up the website.
I was pulling up the YouTube and I was like, you got to watch this one.
Oh, this one's really good.
Oh, the woke zombies one was really good.
And then my sister and her and her now husband were like, oh, that one's so good.
So I was like, wow, there are a lot of, we really made a lot of amazing sketches.
Yeah.
Really proud of them.
A lot of them written by Adam Yanser.
A lot of them.
The good ones.
The good ones.
The good ones, yeah.
That's right.
And one we wrote together called Trans New Orleans.
Don't look up Translate.
I love that one.
But it's my favorite one.
It was a one-off thing.
It was my only time and drag.
Now you're going to want to see it.
Now everyone's going to want to see it.
How about you, Adam?
Were you doing any comedies?
Oh, yeah.
I've been traveling all over the place for comedy.
I was in, I did Colorado Springs Comedy Festival, which was awesome.
I did a church show in Ohio.
Oh, cool.
Two weekends ago, I was in St. Augustine, Florida for a friend's wedding.
Oh, I love St. Augustine.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
I like St. Augustine.
St. Augustine's a great author and place.
What were you going to say?
And then when I was flying back, I connected in the Charlotte Airport.
And then on Twitter, I wish I remembered his name.
I should look him up, but a Babylon Bee fan gave me a shout out on Twitter.
He said, Hey, I saw you sitting at a barbecue place in the Charlotte airport, but I didn't want to come bother you.
Oh my god, you should have come sitting up.
That's so cool.
That's super cool.
And then what else do I have?
I'm going to be at the Comedy Cabana in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, November 1st to 4th.
That's my next.
Oh, Myrtle Beach is cool.
Myrtle Beach is great.
That's a great spot.
I've been there.
Yeah.
And Palm Beach, right?
Oh, yes.
We'll be at West Palm Beach for the roast of Brandon Strzzok.
He's the founder of the Walk Away movie.
Is it Stracha?
I think it's pronounced Strzzok.
It's spelled Stracha.
It's like Greek or something?
It's spelled Straka, but I think everybody I've heard says it.
Yeah.
Okay.
But Brandon Strzok.
Founder of the Walk Away Movement.
He's a great guy we've had on the podcast before.
And he's having a fifth anniversary celebration for his walk away movement, which is encouraging former Democrats and sort of disenfranchised leftists to sort of leave that movement and join the sane people.
And as part of this, he's having a roast of Brandon Strzok.
So we're going to be on that.
That's a good idea.
Is Trump going to be there?
We have a lot going on.
Trump is not going to be there.
I believe Lara Trump is going to be there.
And Carrie Lake.
Yeah.
There's a great lineup of people.
So we'll be on the comedy show, the Roast, but then there's some other speakers and events throughout the whole weekend.
November, the weekend of November 11th in West Palm Beach.
If you look it up on Brandon's Twitter page, he has a link to it.
It's called Walk a Con.
Yeah, I think that's right.
Yeah, that's really, really cool.
It sounds like there's a lot going on.
I'm personally, there's a lot going on with us too.
Sorry, hold on.
Jarrett, what's going on with you?
Nice.
No, that's cool.
I figured I would just close you out.
I was just wondering the same thing.
Jared, what's going on with you?
Thank you guys for including me.
Well, we're out of time.
That was such a Kyle thing to do.
Oh, sorry.
No, that's good.
Now we need more of that in our lives.
But yeah, we basically, there's a lot going on.
Working here, you know, slaving away on the new stuff we got going on.
So that's a lot of fun.
And we did some really great sketches in the last couple weeks that I'm very excited about.
And you guys are going to be wanting to see them.
We might talk about them later on.
So very, very excited.
Actually, we could probably do that soon.
But all that said, doing that, I have a show coming up.
I'm shooting a TV show next week.
Angel Studios is putting out a new TV show called Homestead.
If you haven't seen Homestead or The Torch online, you go check that out.
It stars Neil McDonough and a bunch of other people, but they haven't released who those people are, so I'm not allowed to say.
But there's some really cool folks in the show, and it's a lot like it's kind of like a Walking Dead without the zombies.
So you can check it out on angelstudios.com.
What is Walking Dead without the zombies?
It's just a post-apocalypse.
It's Earth Today.
It's today.
It's a very accurate read.
Do you guys remember the show Jericho?
Jericho.
I remember that show, but I never watched it.
So nuclear bombs hit all the major cities, and then they kind of live in this small town and kind of create a community.
So it's more like Mad Max without the Australians.
It's like Mad Max, but with not, I guess people aren't wearing shoulder pads with spikes and stuff.
But yeah, that's, I guess.
And so my character ends up, I survive.
I don't want to, I don't want to.
Is it like Land Before Time without the dinosaurs?
It's like the office.
It's more like comedy or an office.
Or an office.
And instead, it's at a different time and place.
There's an apocalypse.
It's like Yellowstone.
Other than that.
It's exactly like the office.
I do think it's a bit like Yellowstone without the Yellowstone.
Yellowstone or without the nuclear bomb.
Okay.
Yellowstone with the sand.
Yeah, that's not a spoiler either because it happens within the first couple of seconds of the show.
And so, anyway, so we're going to see what happens.
My character is an interesting character, and I'm excited to play.
He's a small guy, but small character.
Do you get, I don't know if you can say it.
Do you get to play in a scene with Neil Mateno?
You know, actually, I think I can say that.
And yeah.
So, like, all my scenes are with him.
And then it's going to be interesting.
I don't want to give too much away, but I'm in the first two episodes, and I might possibly be in the rest of the season, the rest of the year.
So, yeah, filmmaking is so fun.
It's so fun to be on the side of creative, creative mind control.
No, it's not mind control, but no, humor is such a powerful thing, and it's so funny.
This is not funny at all.
This show is not funny.
Oh, never mind.
It's very smooth.
Yeah, I'm just really excited about what the B's working on right now, and I wanted to throw it back to that.
No, it's so exciting.
I want to tell them.
I want to tell them that we're working on bigger stuff.
We're trying to just having a little longer form, maybe.
And I just want to keep the fans on their toes because they're probably here.
Yeah, they're excited.
So, yeah, speaking of which, speaking of being excited, are you guys reading anything good lately?
I love reading.
I'm reading.
I'm always excited when I read.
What?
I'm always excited when I read.
Are you reading magic?
I always say leaders are readers.
Yeah. That's it.
I came up with that.
Did you?
Really?
I could hear Dan laughing.
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't.
Dan, can you write that down?
We were going to make a motivational poster.
A reader's readers.
You're the master.
Wow.
I use that to shame people into reading is what I do.
I just started Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan.
I don't know what's more exciting and compelling.
You just wrote it down.
You just said it written it down.
What's your guys reading schedule?
Do you guys read at night or with coffee in the morning?
That's a great question.
What are your reading schedules?
I wish I took more time during the day to read.
Because I'm flying for stand-up a lot, I read for hours.
That's when I get in the most.
So you don't do computer work or anything like that?
No, I find it hard every now and then.
I try to do that, but I find it hard to work on the plane.
It's hard to focus.
Yeah, especially with other people looking over your shoulder and stuff like that.
It's so true.
That part is true.
So yeah, I like to read on the plane.
I just finished.
What all did I finish?
I finished Machiavelli's The Prince, which I had never read before.
I don't want to.
Let me think, what else?
But yeah, I just started Thomas Hobbes the box.
You're reading all the classics.
You're kind of going through the philosophical history.
Like the Codex.
That's very interesting.
And I would say René Descartes is what I read before that.
So I would say it's pretentious, but I kind of know you, so I don't think it's pretentious.
It's a little pretentious.
No.
I think a lot of people that do that kind of stuff are just trying to be cool, but you're not.
I'm trying to legitimately.
I am trying to be pretentious.
Well, I was inspired to have you, talking about all the philosophy and stuff in the past.
So I started reading Plato's The Republic.
Oh, yeah.
And I thought, wow, this is boring.
But it is interesting in a boring sort of way.
That's how every book I've read this year is.
It's, wow, this is boring, but it's interesting.
Adam recommended Inside Comedy for me, and I ordered it, but I haven't started it yet.
It's a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah, I need to read more.
When I do my fitness challenges, it requires like the 75-hour challenge requires you read 10 pages a day.
And it's so great because I'm like of personal development books or whatever.
But I think novels are fine.
But it's pretty great because I always read more than the 10 pages and I get through books so quickly.
Without that container, I see the book.
I'm like, oh, and I'll pack it with me and I just won't pick it up.
I don't have that neural pathway carved out yet.
So I guess nighttime is probably a good time.
It makes you nice to be sleepy and relaxed.
You have to get into a habit, I think, with reading.
It's interesting.
I've been reading in the same habit for something like 20 years.
And it's like, it helps me go to sleep at night.
It helps me.
You read at night.
And also, it helps me wake up in the morning.
Oh, wow.
So in the morning, I read something devotional.
So I'll read the scripture.
And then I'm reading right now.
I'm reading R.C. Sprolls.
It's his commentary.
It's his expositional commentaries.
The first one I got from Dan Coates, by the way, it's really good.
It's the one on John, the book of John.
And now I'm reading.
And do you read it on the John?
I do.
Yeah, I have.
You know, I actually find it difficult to read on the John.
I read in the rocking chair that I made with my own two hands out of a wine barrel.
I read on that every time.
That's a nice chair.
I've seen that chair.
Yeah, that's right.
I used a lot of brawn when I did it.
Anyway, so yeah.
That's oddly awkward.
Yeah.
I use a lot of strange.
But yeah, no, so I'm reading the Romans commentary right now in the morning.
And then at night, I'm reading, I don't know, I'm like, I'm reading some urban fantasy right now, but I get into Brandon Sanderson.
I read a bunch of what is it?
I just finished the new Pendergast novel.
I don't know if you guys know those.
No.
Anyway.
Are Dan's recommendations turning you into a Calvinist?
That's the question, right?
There are issues that I'm starting to lean that way.
You know what I love about the Calvinists is that they take the scriptures so seriously.
And I think anyone that's Reformed, anyone that's Calvinist, they're taking the scripture really seriously.
The people I know that are kind of on the Pentecostal side, which is kind of our background, Holiness, Pentecostal, Wesleyan, they don't really take the scripture as seriously as the Calvinists do.
Now, what do you mean by that when you say as seriously?
As in, like, they go by their feelings or they read something and go, nah, it doesn't mean that.
Well, for instance, I guess you'd say something like limited atonement or God's will, election.
So like, so something about election.
You would say as a Calvinist, you'd say, God, according to scripture, you read these scriptures, he elects people, he doesn't elect other people.
Because you're reading through the scripture, you're going, I guess that's what it says.
I don't know what else to say.
And then with a, with a, you know, like a Pentecost or Wesleyan or something like that, they would look at it and say, well, God can't possibly be that way.
Therefore, I.
Yeah, therefore I have to understand it a different way.
And I'm not saying, and listen, you guys are going to correct me on this, I'm sure, but I don't know.
I just, I find R.C. Sproul very compelling because he's not a jerk.
I've never read his works, but I've watched some of his lectures on YouTube.
He's a very interesting, well-informed guy.
Yeah, he was a philosopher, too.
You know, so you get a philosopher, and then you get the other guys.
Like, you know, sometimes Calvinists can be kind of jerks.
And so I've always been kind of turned off by.
Well, they were predestined to be, right?
Yeah, right, you know.
But a lot of times they're really funny jerks.
So, you know, I like Calvinists.
Anyway, all this to say, I don't know if I'm quite one yet, but yeah, but I do.
I do really appreciate R.C. Sproul.
I think when I was first on the podcast at the old studio, when you guys asked me, you weren't there.
It was, it was, are you a Calvinist or Arminian?
I think it was Ethan and Kyle.
Subscribe, and you can see that interview.
My first ever subscriber portion interview.
Yeah, they asked me if I was a Calvinist or Arminian.
And I said, you know, I think when I was younger, I was actually a Calvinist.
I thought, look, every single footstep is guided.
Everything is, you know, it's God's will.
And it actually, I think, made life easier to just sort of feel like a more accepting of my reality.
And I think I've changed a little bit since then.
I think my beliefs have changed a little bit since then.
It is harder, though, because it's like, well, is this my desire?
Is this God's desire on my heart?
You know, a lot of philosophical.
I'm still a free will guy, but it has definitely reading more Calvinist writings and reading more about that philosophy has influenced the way I see it more.
I would say there are points of Calvinism that I agree with.
Yeah, it's not all black and I would say that I think, yeah, you know, I see a much more limited role for what we would, I believe we have free will, but I see it in a much more limited way than I used to.
I think the way that R.C. Sproul talks about it, I think, is fascinating because he says you do have free will, but it's within this sinful context.
Well, that's sort of what Martin Luther said, that we have free will towards things below us.
We don't have free will towards things.
Yeah, that's it.
So like, it's not like it's free will in a vacuum.
Yes.
Like we have free will to make moral choices.
Like it's like, like, do I want to read this book today or this?
Do I want to watch this on TV or do I want to watch that?
We have free will for that.
We don't have free will and do I want to do good or evil or can I do anything to contribute to my own salvation kind of.
Yes.
No, that's good, man.
I like the Lutheran stuff.
All right.
So we can get into theology, but what the other book I want to recommend real quick, because as far as reading schedules go, I also do a lot of books on tape.
Yeah, of course.
And because I have a long time.
Is that what they call it now?
I think it's called audiobooks.
They used to call it a book.
They used to call it books on tape.
But I've been listening to Augustine's City of God, which is this massive work.
It's like 1,200 pages.
It's like something like 46 hours on audiobook, and I've just been listening to it for like three months.
But it is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read.
It's just, I recommend listening to it on audiobook.
It takes a long time to get through.
It goes through like the history of the Roman Empire.
It goes through biblical history.
It goes through what parts of Platonic philosophy coincide with Christian philosophy and which don't.
It goes through all the passages in the Old Testament that prophesy Christ.
It goes through it's called Augustine's City of God.
You recommend it audiobook style because if it's hard to listen to, it's going to be even harder to read.
It's a long, tough.
I would say it's interesting.
It's like, Travis, it's boring, but it's interesting.
But this one's really fascinating.
Does it make you think about the Roman Empire?
It's a tough book to get through.
And it helps you think about the Roman Empire.
The Roman Empire?
Yeah.
So it's a fantasy adventure where he- Yeah.
There's a lot of magic spells and dragons.
Okay.
Okay, cool.
That sounds like I'm in.
How about you, Travis?
What are you reading?
You know, I've been reading the James Bond.
I have not been reading James Bond books because I guess one of the new books coming out is called On His Majesty's Secret Service.
And because there's a king now, but he just like hates Trump.
Like, James Bond goes on a whole rant about Trump and everything.
It's kind of out of place.
Why does this British spy care that much about Trump?
Right.
Yeah.
I'm a man who's not even president anymore.
That's really weird.
I'd like to hear that.
It's awkward.
Steele was a British spy who cared a lot about Trump and he made up a bunch of lies about him.
Yeah.
And Steele Dossier was a detective that a trans woman came in.
That was the next.
Yeah.
Right.
That Adam played the trans person in.
Yeah.
But I've been reading Lord of the Rings again because I've been reading it to my kids a little bit.
Oh, cool.
My youngest checks out.
She's like, please stop reading this.
And my oldest is like, oh, yeah, daddy, read, you know, Lord of the Rings or whatever.
So it's been nice.
For my personal reading, I kind of ping-pong back across different books.
So I'm reading a thousand different books and not getting through any of them because.
So Plato's the New Republic, the Republic, not the Knights of the New Republic.
It says Star Wars book.
Plato's Knights of the New Republic.
And I'm reading a second Mistborn book in the Brandon Sanderson series.
That's a great one.
The second one's good.
Yeah, and then I'm reading some lame self-help book that my wife's like, please read this.
This would be good for you.
It's called The Soundtracks.
So it's about, you know, changing the soundtracks in your mind.
I like self-help books.
I think there's something to that.
Well, there's something to this book, too.
Personal development is a totally underrated topic.
There's a debate in the conservative space, apparently.
It's like self-help and personal development is like giving up on the move.
I was like, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
We have to sharpen our swords.
There are life skills that aren't taught in school.
There's a lot of great.
I don't understand what don't they like about self-help movies?
That it's if you're working on yourself instead of like grabbing your weapons and going in the street.
I don't know.
I haven't met you.
Like being an anarchist is better than working on yourself and skills to deal with life and stuff.
I haven't heard that yet.
I don't know if I'm getting that right, but I heard that.
I was like, that's so wrong.
Well, my problem with self-help books is that they're boring and not interesting.
So it's like, oh, I have to.
You're not reading the right ones.
Some of them are vegetables.
It's like eating vegetables.
Like, oh, okay.
Some are interesting.
Now, so the book I'm reading is actually, it's been helpful.
It's pretty interesting because I'm going through my NDA brain injuries and stuff.
But in general, most of the time I'm like, should I spend time reading a self-help book or just read the Bible more?
So, you know.
I know what you mean.
I feel the same way.
I think that that is like a really good self-help book, the Bible.
I think, but there's some things that are there's nuance, and I think that sometimes some authors can share some things that are said in a way that opens up your brain a little bit more.
Like, oh, I didn't think of it that way.
That's helpful for me, you know?
I've read some really good self-help books.
I mean, I guess there was one called The Power of Habits.
Oh, oh, The Power Power Bones.
I don't know if you guys remember this book, but it was by Duhig.
It was very, very helpful.
Atomic Habits is one of the best books I've ever read.
Was that Duhig, too?
No.
I haven't read Atomic Habits, but I've heard good things.
James Clear.
How to explain it.
I think like Jordan Peterson's books, like the 12 Rules books and 12 More Rules, they're kind of self-help books.
They're very good.
I haven't read that.
Is that more of like a.
This is a dumb question.
Is that more of like a masculine type?
It's definitely more masculine-oriented, but I would say men and women can both benefit from it.
And my experience was I like them both.
I actually found 12 More Rules to be a little more of a mature, like 12 rules.
12 Rules.
It's not that you can't benefit from, but 12 Rules seems like it's speaking to sort of young men as they're developing into adults.
12 More Rules seems a little more culture.
Oh, and our friend Kalani Vale wrote that book on life, which I read with Kalani Vale.
How was it?
That's good.
It's a good book.
Yeah, so check out his book, Kalani Vale, Return on Life.
R-O-L.
It's about looking at your life as like an investment.
It's a really interesting strategy.
When he was explaining it when he was here, that was like a really, I liked his whole philosophy because he's a finance guy.
So that's another thing.
Some people like think that way more financial.
And just each moment of your life is a coin in a jar of fun.
Yeah, I did like that.
Well, listen, speaking of awesome things as of my transition.
Yeah, so we wanted to talk about some of the recent stuff we're doing.
So we are still making sketches.
I know we slowed down some of our production.
So we're making a lot of sketches, though.
In the last few weeks, we've made some sketches that I'm very excited about.
It's going to be really cool.
I've been a blast making these.
Oh, my God.
I'm coming out.
I loved the woke shark tank video.
I was loving that one.
And I thought, you know, man, Emma is amazing at that yelling, angry character.
I was really happy to see her.
Travis killed him.
Poor Travis.
He plays Hank in every video, getting yelled at by everybody.
That was difficult to get through without laughing.
Because yelling had to be at a level 11, and I kept asking them to bring more.
And it's so hard not to laugh when they're just laying into you.
I was really impressed.
My voice was gone by the end.
Oh, yeah.
I was impressed by Emma's ability to be so angry.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think I could have called that.
I was picking that up every day.
That was her release.
She doesn't speak much, but when she does, it's just at that volume level.
I always sort of expected she would be sort of under the surface.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we also shot our first Western, which was awesome.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so excited.
Adam, can you tell just a little bit about Malarkey, which is going to be our sketch?
He wrote it.
Yeah, you got to watch it.
Biden, you know, he keeps referencing this You're a Lying Dogface Pony Soldier movie.
And we may have finally found that movie.
Oh, my God.
Oh, the close.
We also shot a library-based sketch with a woke librarian.
Oh, I'm excited about that one, too.
Soon too.
Yeah, the woke librarian is going to be really good.
I got to play a gunslinger, which is kind of a dream come true.
Yeah, all the characters in the Western were awesome.
We had Gianna Simone is in it.
She's an actress.
In the Western.
Sianka is in it.
Yes.
Yaka's in it.
And then we have a new actor that we haven't worked with yet, but he's great.
Jeff Odachowski plays our main character, and he did such a good job.
And do we have a special guest in this Western?
We do.
I don't want to.
You're going to have to watch it.
Come on.
Don't totally watch it.
Tell them.
We'll tease it.
Once again.
We'll tease it.
Somebody famous.
He's got somebody we've been wanting to collaborate with for a while and is a very good fit for both of our brands.
Yeah, I love that.
Very satirical and funny person.
That's right.
Harrison Ford.
Yeah, for now.
Oh, go ahead.
I was ready to move on.
I was going to move on too.
Yeah, you're good.
Let's move on to the other one.
Let's check out what's going on in the news.
There's lots of positive, fun stories in the movie.
Look at them finishing each other's sentences.
They've really come a long way.
A long way.
I can't believe this story is happening in America, is what the teleprompter says, even though stuff like this is happening more and more in America.
In Oregon State, state officials are stopping a Christian mother, Jessica Bates, from adopting children in need just because of her religious beliefs.

What's in the news this week?
I don't know who this guy is, so someone else can.
I do.
So Derek Webb is a, he was in Cademan's Call.
It's a Christian band from the 90s, early 2000s.
And he wrote some really interesting music back then.
He was actually a really good.
He was one of the Christian artists that was really an artist.
He's a Christian artist?
Yeah.
So he was like pretty influential.
And he came out with a song.
Does he still consider himself to be a Christian?
I don't think we're going to get that.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So anyway, that's kind of his history.
If you don't know Derek Webb, Cademan's Call, he came out with a song that was kind of edgy, like back in the early 2000s called Wedding Dress, where he used some curse words and stuff, but it was a Christian song.
So it was like really good.
He was a lot of music with curse words.
Yeah, I know.
Everyone.
So does he.
So does he.
Yeah.
But recently, he went to the 54th annual Dove Awards in a dress.
What are the Dove Awards?
The Dove Awards are the Christian Music Awards every year.
So which one is he in this picture?
So he's the one in the front.
And he on the right.
Yeah, he's black and white polka dots.
He's got the polka dots on.
And basically, he made a video recently that basically came out as a pro-LGBTQ, pro-trans.
And he's now considered a progressive Christian because he's left scriptural integrity behind.
Just like Andy Stanley, he's left scriptural integrity behind and theology for the sake of what he sees as a more loving approach.
So he's not a Christian anymore.
Essentially, he's left the truth behind.
I think that's loving.
He's more loving than God is, I think, is what he's saying.
I see.
Now, does he himself identify as gay or trans?
Like he's dressed as a woman there.
Or is he just doing that to show support?
I don't know.
It's hard to know.
Like with these guys, I mean, like when Rob Bell came out, it's like, yeah, he might just be gay.
Like, I don't know.
It looks like he's shrugging, like, ah, I don't know why they got me.
They got me.
Look at me.
If you can't beat him, join him.
It's a dress.
That is exactly the vibe.
If you can't beat him, join him.
And I was thinking, I'm all in.
I was listening to the Elisa Childers interview, and she was talking about the artists that once you're in the machine, they keep getting purchased by these bigger companies.
And it's all motivated by money and what's going to chart and what's going to trend and not about Christian integrity.
I thought that was really interesting.
And I think that that is the challenge of entertainment and media in general.
It's all about what's going to get the most clicks.
Oh, that's coming out next week.
That's going to come out next week.
So check that out because she goes in on this topic.
And it's really challenging.
You really have to be willing to say no to money and so many earthly temptations to keep your integrity intact.
And it looks like this guy did not do that.
Tune into the Elisa Childers podcast because that was a great conversation.
We had a lot of fun.
And in fact, it was so organic and she was such a pleasure to have on.
So there's that.
What do you guys think of this whole thing?
You think it's a good thing or a bad thing?
Oh, I think it's obviously a bad thing.
I think it's a great thing here.
These guys wearing dresses.
The gender stuff, it's just, it's been insane from the start, and it just gets more and more insane.
I really think that's it.
It's like, what can you, it's like, what can you say about it that we haven't said already?
Exactly.
But Adam, is it good or bad?
We keep repeating ourselves.
But I also think that we kind of take the bait so easily.
Oh, man, in a dress, like, you know, the whole Harry Styles thing.
Everyone took the bait.
Everyone takes the bait.
It's just, well, we're.
Here's what's interesting about the Harry Styles thing.
I'm not going to say that that, I wouldn't say that any of them are good or bad.
Or sorry, are good.
But where I think it's bad is when it's actually trying to confuse people about their gender.
The Harry Styles thing, it seems artistic.
Exactly.
And it seems like for years, like even if you look at like Glamrock and Hair Metal, there's like David.
There's always this idea of like to be a weird eccentricity.
Brank rules.
Play with gender roles and stuff.
Where I think it, and I get, you know, because of, you know, the commands in the bio, like don't dress like the opposite sex.
I get where you can say that that's bad.
But I think where it became a real problem for the culture is when it became, this actually makes you the opposite sex, or this actually changes something about your identity.
You know, the Harry Styles thing, it's like, I think, yeah, it's weird, whatever.
But it's like when people are just doing it to be a weird artist, I don't really care about it that much.
And this guy care about it when it's like, this is this sort of indoctrination of this gender ideology that's actually trying to change what people think about men and women and sexuality and relationships.
I agree with you.
And I think this guy, where he's still claiming to identify as a Christian, is very confusing to me because I don't think it's loving to mutilate yourself.
And there are so many D-transitioners coming out saying, this was my surgery was botched.
I'm in pain.
No one's helping me.
I'm being silenced by the trans community.
It's horrible.
That's not loving.
That's not loving at all.
And that really concerns me that those voices are being suppressed because of this agenda to just totally mess up everybody's perception of reality.
Yeah, it's true.
If you go online and do a quick search of D-transitioners, it's fascinating.
It's very, very sad.
But I think Derek is probably not actually coming out as any kind of LGBTQ.
I think he's identifying.
The way that he sees it probably is that he is identifying with the lowest of the low or the most marginalized and he's trying to be the most.
Yeah, and who knows?
Yeah, make money.
Maybe it's more narcissistic than that, but I would imagine that it's probably a misunderstanding of what our role is as Christians in the church and what God actually cares about.
So that's what I would say.
Is he promoting something right now?
That could be another thing.
Oh, yeah, he's got new songs.
Yeah, he's got new songs.
And that's in particular, there's one about that.
So I'm sorry, I have another question.
What do they do at the Dove Awards?
Do they just rank soap?
That's a good joke.
I like it.
I want to know.
I don't know what that is.
No, the Dove Awards is like the Grammys for Christians.
It's for the artists that don't get Grammys.
Like on South Park, where they go gold, frankincense, and myrrh instead of gold platinum.
Faith plus.
Yeah, when he becomes a Christian music.
No, it's true.
The Dove Awards are that.
Yeah, it's kind of just an award ceremony that, you know, it's like the movie God awards for Christians, you know.
Like, anyway, so if you know about that, that's another thing.
So very similar.
The industry, the creative industry and the Christian industry has to have their own award ceremony as well.
And we have to celebrate ourselves.
But I noticed that the Babylon Bee never gets nominated for any of that stuff.
Well, we don't have a...
That's not true.
We had our own award show.
Oh, that's true.
But I guess the Babylon B.
We won a lot of awards at the Babylon B awards.
We won best satire site.
This is a complete tangent, so I won't spend too much time on it, but it reminds me of this.
I looked up, so there's the Webby Awards.
There's like awards for online content, yeah, and YouTubers.
And I looked into submitting either some of the Babylon B stuff or something.
And they have like explicit rules, like the no hate speech content stuff.
And I looked at their past winners.
It's like 90% pro-trans videos.
And what's interesting about it is it's supposed to be like this awards thing, like the Emmys or the Oscars of web-based content.
But it's almost all political agenda-driven stuff.
And I looked up some of the winners.
There's videos that have like 1.5K views.
There's videos that are like from channels that have like 300 subscribers.
No way.
And it's just, it's, now there are, there is also stuff that comes from like, you know, like Jimmy Fallon's platform and stuff like that.
There is bigger stuff on there.
But a lot of it, it's just they first exclude everyone.
You know, no matter how successful our gooder stuff is, we wouldn't have a chance on something like that, even though we have this successful web platform.
That's crazy.
And it's just because it's all indoctrinated with this politics.
Well, when infused with it.
When the Daily Wire does their own awards ceremony for all their movies, maybe we'll be able to get in there when they get the conservative Razzie for Snow White.
Oh my goodness.
By the way, watch the trailers and watch our Rings of Power sketch.
And you tell us which squirrel has the better.
They did an animated squirrel?
An animated squirrel.
Oh, they totally are digging at us, right?
Is it animated or is it real football?
I just watched one.
I didn't even pay attention that closely.
It's the worst animal.
Wow.
Way worse.
I mean, it's definitely not strutting like a young.
Plagiarizing our Daily Wire Snow White.
They've complained for years that Hollywood has no original ideas, so now they're rebooting Snow White for the fourth time.
Hey, they're doing it.
With an animated squirrel.
They're doing it.
They're making it funny.
I can't tell if it's supposed to be funny or if it's a serious movie.
I think it's a serious kids' movie.
It looks like something you'd put out on April Fool's Day.
Like, we're making this.
No, gotcha.
If we're doing it in place of the Snow White, that's probably just going to be really bad.
And I think it's, you know, they're really good at this marketing thing.
They're really good at the timing.
I think it's pretty, it's pretty confident to be like, all right, all right, Disney.
I'm going to put, I'm going on the chessboard now.
All right.
We'll see how it is.
I'm excited to see it.
Well, I think the idea is that you have Disney Snow White coming out, and then they're thinking, well, hey, Disney doesn't support you.
Here's our Snow White.
And they're giving it to you right then at the same time.
If you woke reboot our movie, we're going to non-woke your woke reboot.
Right.
And then we'll see this.
Then who's going to woke?
Okay, there's a sketch in here somewhere.
There's a sketch in here somewhere.
We could work this out.
All right, let's move on.
Next thing, that's kind of a remaking The Walking Dead without zombies.
Make no sense at all.
I think people are just so tired of the political stuff, though.
I think what we're really starting to discover in our space is- That's going to be a great show, by the way.
Oh, I think it will.
It's actually really good.
I'm not making fun of the show.
I'm making fun of the way you do it.
People just want entertainment.
No one's listening to me, Bob.
And you're listening to me.
We need to just make entertainment for entertainment's sake.
And people are exhausted in the politics.
So that's one thing that's good about this.
This is just a show that has nothing to do with politics.
Thank God.
We're exhausted.
Unlike this.
Unlike this.
It's a family movie.
Yeah.
Unlike this show.
That does have to do with politics.
So, hey, Israel, let's talk about sadness.
Let's go right back into politics.
No, so we know everyone knows what's going on in Israel right now.
Hamas attacking over the weekend.
Wait, what's happening going on in Israel over the weekend?
Anyway, so there was this big story yesterday, and I guess this is going to place us in a particular time, but it was going around that Israel.
At that time, 1976.
They bombed a hospital.
And this report was everywhere.
Everywhere.
It was like immediately.
Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, 500 people dead.
Yeah, and it was like directly from the Palestinian leadership.
Israel did this.
They're evil.
They bombed a bunch of kids in a hospital.
But actually, it turns out it was a Hamas bomb that went errant and bombed a parking lot and really didn't kill that many people.
So they've updated this.
There's that funny graphic from the New York Times where it was like Israel bombs hospital.
Palestine blames Israel for bombing hospital.
Explosion at hospital.
Nobody knows what happens at the hospital, basically.
Right.
No, it's interesting how immediately the kind of liberal outlets, I think this is the story, is that the liberal outlets sort of jumped on this idea that Israel is now, you know, they are now war criminals.
They are now the aggressors.
After this brutal terror attack by Hamas on Israel, they've been, you know, there's a certain faction in the media and the government that's trying to find a way to blame Israel and portray them as the bad guys, which is just horrible in this situation.
Yeah.
And I'm sure you guys have all seen BLM out of Chicago that did the Palestine.
We stand with Palestine with the parachuter come down.
And there's, I'm sure you guys have all seen it.
Harvard protesters.
Harvard protesters, which Harvard's losing money now.
People are pulling their support from Harvard.
So there's a lot going on right now, people that are standing with these people that have murdered, raped, and beheaded babies and things like that.
So anyway, so this is just another example of the liberal media sort of jumping on.
It is so hard in these situations, though, to even find the accurate information.
That's what's frustrating.
You always want to be on the side of good, but with these situations, there's so many agenda-driven people on both sides that it's hard to pause and be like, I'm just going to wait and see what the facts are before.
Yeah, it's difficult, too, because it used to be, oh, I want to watch the news and be informed.
And you can't really do that anymore.
Yeah, we went on Al Jazeera right before this, and they're still reporting that Israel bombed.
Like, there's no sources, source material, but they're like, yeah, there was a missile coming from the sky, and we all got out of there, and all these kids are dead, and the hospital's gone.
And they're still reporting that as of this morning, even though the news has changed on that.
So it's, you know.
Yeah.
So right now we at least have photos to go by.
There's a photo of the parking lot that's damaged and you can see it.
Oh, okay.
It was just this parking lot.
It turns out that's going to be a problem too.
We can root out AI pictures pretty quick, but it's a time's coming when that's going to be very together.
They say we're in the information age, but I think that we're in, we have information war.
It's how fast can we get the liberal news media or this news media outlet to say what gets to them first?
And I don't know, it's really crazy.
And I have only been receiving this news through Instagram and like hearing people talk.
I think in the airport, I heard some guy say, when stuff like this happens, it sounded like he was conservative, honestly.
He said, I do tune into CNN because they have a lot of people on the ground there.
I thought that was really interesting.
I don't watch Fox or CNN.
I don't watch any.
I don't have cable guys.
So I guess I don't know where you're going to get the most accurate on the ground information.
But I totally agree with you.
I think that there's so much.
I'm seeing a lot of people say, I stand with Israel.
This is, you know, this is an attack on the Jewish people.
And then I'm also seeing some people that I follow that are calling this a Palestinian genocide.
I was like, wait a second.
Now I really don't know what's going on.
So it's a lot of conflict.
I mean, it's always tragic when civilians or innocent people are killed on either side in a war, but there's just no equivalence between what Hamas did in this just disgusting terror attack.
And then Israel has to retaliate.
And they are in large part.
I mean, prior to this, they were issuing work visas for people from Gaza to come work in Israel.
And then that was exploited in this terrorist attack.
Then, you know, they're warning Palestinian civilians to flee.
There's reports that Hamas is blocking that because they want them there to be used as collateral and human shields.
And it's just good for their news.
Yeah, yeah.
Or it is bad.
But what you were saying, also, you know, I actually watch both Fox and CNN.
It's like I try to look at them both and then hopefully you can, you know, you know, discern from yourself by, you know, researching the article.
You can try to sniff out the spin, the liberal.
I try to.
I like to think that I can, but it's hard because, you know, they're both agenda-driven to some degree.
But I think, you know, if you're looking at any one of them, look at the other one too, you know.
And then ultimately, I always say the best place to get your news is overhearing it from a guy at the airport.
So it's interesting because I've obviously been on the Israel side 100% and I will be.
But I talked to a friend of mine at Jiu-Jitsu last night that's Muslim, and he was saying, you know, he was just like complaining about Israel and he's going off and all this stuff.
So he's getting his information from someone else.
Wait, if he's Muslim, how does he do Jiu-Jitsu?
Oh.
I think we're over time.
Do you get it?
Well, Jared?
Way to keep that stuff.
Adam is so good at not laughing at his own jokes.
That's like a sneak.
Well, they're not that funny.
I thought that one was pretty good.
I like this dad joke.
There are some t-shirts.
If you go to Jerusalem, they have t-shirts with a Hasidic Jew.
Yeah, I've seen that.
That's a Jiu-Jitsu.
I think this is a pretty complex issue.
And, you know, my fiancé, James, is like very plugged into this stuff.
And he's aware of like, he's like, it's a very complex situation.
And he also said, I don't understand what stand with means.
Like, people are saying, you must stand with Israel.
You must stand.
It's like, well, I'm just a person.
I don't know anything about this conflict.
Now I got to like, you know, this sounds so ignorant, but truly, like, we are so separated from the issue.
Not to mention, there's so much coverage of all these horrible things happening in our world because of social media and the internet and the iPhone access that we have to be, that we're becoming desensitized to these horrible things that are happening.
And I don't think that it's, and it's interesting that there's this pressure for everyone to speak up and post their allegiance to, you know, Assad, pick a side.
And it's just like, you know, I think that a lot of people feel it's okay to take a step back and learn the facts before you speak on it.
If you have nothing, if you're not Jewish, if you're not Palestinian, if you have no idea what this, you know, how long has the conflict been around?
Anyway, take it away, Dr. You kind of touched on an interesting point, though, with this idea that you have to pick a side.
And we're seeing protests on both sides, like across America, like pro-Israel rallies and pro-Palestine rallies.
And part of me is just like, it doesn't accomplish anything.
Why are we wasting all this time doing these rallies?
What's the point?
Speak up on social media because that's going to change what happens over there on the ground.
I don't know if it will.
I mean, I don't know.
What could we do?
What actions can we actually take to help this situation?
If we're talking about the war between Hamas and Israel, there's a clear moral, like there's a clear moral right and wrong here.
If we're talking about the war between Israelis and Palestinians, there's a lot of human elements in there.
And I think, but Hamas is obviously an evil regime that stated purpose is to destroy Jews.
So we can confidently stand and say that's wrong.
The stuff you guys did over the weekend needs to be responded to.
And so there's going to be a war.
There has to be stuff that has to happen in order for Israel to exist because the enemies around Israel are going to take opportunity.
So I don't know.
We just need to pray for those people over there.
And I think it's important to be informed, but to also realize who's in charge, that God's still sovereign, that he knows he still loves those people and he's still doing his work.
And so we need to pray for them.
And that's a good reminder to pray for a good resolution to the conflict and also to pray for our leaders because it's easy to dunk on Biden and be like, man, Biden's the worst.
But I pray that he handles this as well as you have news on it.
I pray for all the politicians you disagree with.
It's like you want them to be granted wisdom and the just and the God's will to resolve these things in the best way for everybody.
I got to be honest, watching Biden say things that are true has been the first time this entire time he's been in office that I've been like, he's saying things that are true.
Yeah, I like the part where he says, I don't know, I'm just kind of that was my favorite part.
No, but I would say like he is saying things like, you know, this is a terrible terrorist attack.
He's calling it what it is.
Usually they would not, they would shy away from those words and they're not doing that this time, which, you know, I'm sure there's elements within the government that would love to do that, but they're not.
They're standing with Israel.
So and along those lines, we got to pray that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith work things out all the time.
We got it really messed up.
Those are reconciled to that.
And there's no moral equivalency between what they're doing.
I really thought those crazy kids were going to make it.
Well, that too.
I'm so sick of hearing about this.
And now it's time for the Babylon Bees Bible verse of the week.
Amen.
Mark chapter 4, verses 10 through 12.
So that's actually a couple verses, not one verse.
Verses of the week.
Yeah, verses of the week.
And when he was alone, those around him with the 12 asked him about the parables, and he said to them, To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside, everything is in parables, so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear, but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.
This has been the Babylon Bees Bible verses of the week.
Would you guys like to exegete this passage at all?
Well, I know it's a reference to an Old Testament passage, but I can't remember which one.
That's my exegesis.
Well done.
Well done.
Thank you.
It does seem like Jesus is trying to prevent certain people from understanding what he's saying so that they can go that far.
He said, so that they may indeed see but not perceive and indeed hear but not understand lest they should turn and be forgiven.
Maybe he's using.
Well, I don't want to be completely misrepresenting what I'm trying to say, but there are other translations which make the language sound a little different, and I can't quite remember which one's correct.
We should bring those translations up.
Yeah, I feel like we need to get like five different translations in here, really.
I was interpreting it different.
I was interpreting it as see but not perceive.
You know how we were talking earlier about how some people are taking the words literally and some not.
I think it's kind of, I don't know, don't be, don't be so, I can't really, I can't really think of the words, but I'm reading it as just like think about how God would want you to think about this, not how you would think about it.
That's kind of how I'm hearing it.
Yeah, well, see, the thing is, though, that the parables are actually a way of perfectly illustrating the stories.
So, you know, they actually help us learn and understand.
So I understand that argument, but since they actually do have everything they need to learn and hear it, it's kind of, I don't know.
It's like they're standing in their own way.
It does seem like Jesus, though, over and over says, they don't see it, but you will.
I'll explain it to you, but I'm not going to explain it to them.
I don't want them to understand it.
Yeah, but those same people could have come to Jesus and been like, hey, can you explain this to me?
They could.
They could have been like, ah.
They could have.
They absolutely could have.
But they didn't.
I mean, I agree most with what Travis, I would say, is saying.
I think there's an element of what you're saying.
I think what's hard about that, I think we should all be aware of, you know, not perceiving or misinterpreting scripture.
But this is specifically referencing the sort of believers and non-believers, or in a Calvinist sense, the elect and the reprobate and the reprobate.
The regenerate and the unregenerate.
So it's interesting when there's passages like that where it's like lest they should turn and be forgiven, almost like there's this preventative, like, we don't want them to turn and be forgiven.
Or there's passages in the New Testament where it says, you know, God will hand them over to their sin.
Or, you know, there's the famous passage in the or there's the famous passage in the Old Testament where it's like he hardens Pharaoh's heart.
And it's like he's making Pharaoh do these bad things.
One of the books I read recently is Maimonides, Maimonides.
He's a Jewish philosopher.
And there is an interesting interpretation of that that, you know, we have free will, but God can turn our, God has the power to usurp our free will and use us according to his will at any moment.
And that these things, when it's saying you no longer have that, it's because judgment has already been passed.
It's not that you never had the opportunity to have faith and understand or come to God.
It's that once the judgment has passed, once you've made that bad decision, then these bad things, now you're out of understanding forever.
Now you're going to continue in your sin, basically.
But it's because judgment has already been passed.
It's not that you didn't have the opportunity to come to faith.
Well, and Jesus could potentially be saying just that, where he's saying, he's saying, well, they didn't do this, but if they did, they'd be forgiven.
Yeah.
So that's, you know what I'm saying?
He just might be saying that.
He's not saying that he's trying to prevent them necessarily, but he is planting a seed for people that are curious and have hearts to learn.
And if those people seek him, they will find him.
If they don't seek him, they will not find him and they will not be forgiven.
And we'll get plenty of paragraph-long comments below explaining how we're all wrong against it.
And this is what it really is.
That's what I'm hoping for.
And you shouldn't have said this.
Yeah.
Do you even exegete?
I have my t-shirt.

Is that it?
Is that it for today there, Dan?
That's it.

Are you tired of woke?
Are you tired of woke comedy?
Well, join us and create unwoke comedy.
Yeah.
I have to say, Jared, I don't like unwoke.
I think it's anti-woke.
Because unwoke sounds like it was woke and now it's no longer woke.
But anti-woke is like, we were never woke.
Asleep.
