Bellied Up - Confessions With Pastor Dave #22

Episode Date: November 3, 2022

Presented By Fleet Farm We're at the Knickerbocker Liquor Locker in Haskins, ND. Our first caller is wondering what he should do for his wedding, Then we have Pastor Dave call in to chat (Myles and Charlie are both catholic), Last caller asks what age is too young to bring his nephew hunting.

All right, Charlie, we're back in the saddle back riding in the saddle. We're on the, we're in the saddle. We're in the belly up. Are we on the same horse? Yeah. Yeah, we are. We're sent it by fleet. Why are you putting your head in your hand like that?

I, it's not as question. He said, we're back in the saddle. You know, maybe it's like, you know, well, we started off rough. I'll tell you that. We're belly up to the bar, belly up to the bar, in a saddle, same saddle, yeah, same saddle, different horse. Uh, and, uh, belly up is presented by Fleet Farm. Yes, it is.

Charlie is deer opener weekend in some states this weekend. The deer opener. It's a deer opener. Well, the deer, the deer holds a, it's a dear opener. Well, the deer, the deer hold the, uh, the deer opener kind of holds a special place in our heart. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the time of year where family and friends come together to pass out in different deer stands.

Yes. You know, fall asleep, fall asleep with the gun. Hopefully, if you're going to be sleeping, yeah, gun safety, you got to do the gun safety. Now for the young hunters, should, should we give them the, the tips, the basics? All right. So I'll go, we'll just ping pong. I'll go first. Obviously, when in doubt, hold your gun straight up in the air. Straight up in the air. Okay, if you know what you're doing,

you can aim the barrel to the ground, but if you're a young buck, that's how you shoot your foot off. So just like that, young buck little spikes. So anyway, gun straight up in the air. What's your safety? Most of the time have your safety on.

You know, there's some rare instances like when you see a deer. Yeah. Or you were, you know, you're just kind of lazy. You're walking through the woods. You might see a deer now. Oh, no, no. That's dangerous. That's dangerous.

Yep. Yep. Miles was doing that, uh, kids. So I could tell him that he was wrong. Yes. Okay. To be honest, that was a test to uh, kids. So I could tell him that he was wrong. And it's okay to be wrong. That was a test. That was a test to Charlie to see if he caught.

I'm convinced you should always have your safety. I have that safety on and no drinking blues. Tell after you're done hunting when you're at your camp, then you can get lit up like a Christmas tree until then sober as a ghost. Our ghost sober. I don't know. I don't know. I imagine they drank it would just go right through. That's that is true. If I would I think ghosts, so are the ones that haven't quite made it to, you know, like the heaven or howler, whatever. So they're kind of in purgatory. Is that how I don't I'm kind of blending.

I'm with ghost police. If I ended up in purgatory, I'm how I don't I'm kind of blending the tosses with ghost police? If I ended up in purgatory, I'm drinking a lot. That's what I'm saying. So I bet ghosts do drink. So maybe silver as a ghost is not good now. Yeah, do they have beer in heaven? There's a song that they have in heaven. There is no beer.

So I'm trying to drink as much as I can in purgatory. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what they do have in heaven though. If they don't have beer. It's probably something pretty good. I don't know. Probably a good concoction.

Well, we'll have to be good and see if we can't find out. So anyway, yeah, safety on point the gun up. Is there anything else? I don't think so. Pretty much it. We're orange. We're orange, which is crazy because the deer color blind, you know, we've talked about this before.

Yeah, but where I was going with that, oh yeah, it's special for us. It's because Charlie every year tries to get me to dress up in a deer costume. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Because it's worked out so well for us. Calvars is deer. I won't call it a masterpiece, but everybody else seems to. So yeah, I wouldn't call that either, But everybody else seems to so yeah, I wouldn't call that either. I think like the Smithsonian thing. It's playing. It's playing there in the television above the. I just remember we shot that video and we were just like, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. And then people loved it. And then they loved it. And we were like, really? In in two days. You're gonna have me dressed up as a deer again Third time. I'm hoping that the cost of fits a little bit better

Well, last time I put it off. I was a little tight little tight. You've been working out though. Yeah, I mean my muscles are a lot I can see it. I can see it just Yeah, so how's that personal trainer? If you like we've talked about this quite a bit I know you love bringing it up. I don't really care to talk about it Charlie. I want to know what your benching now? Not gonna lie one 35. Wow.

135. So like the bar plus a few of the smaller weights. That's just my warm up though. That's that's what I warm up with. So good for you. You did a video about fair weather deer hunting. Yeah, yeah, I did. Yep. Was that the documentary of how you hunt? Honestly, yeah, I'm so like, you know, I grew up we didn't have obviously hunters, but we didn't have the land. My uncle did have some land for a little bit, but you know, that went away. Yeah, I wasn't gonna talk about that.

Yeah, bummer. It was nice, it was over there in Wapaka. Kind of a outskirts of Wapaka, if you can imagine. And that was nice. We went up there, deer hunting, turkey hunting, and then that land went away. So I went out last year, I did bowl hunting. And this year I have not gone out yet. The problem with me is that I've been,

uh, I had doing the, the can't comedy stand up comedy. And when you're on the road a lot, you're not, you're not making time for the important things like deer hunting. So unfortunately, I may have to say I'm a fair weather deer hunter. I gotta say to you, Charlie, though, is, is the comedy show thing worth it If you don't get the deer on to be honest with you I've started to reassess some things and I'm redoing my schedule especially for next year and there are things that I want to do Deer hunting being one of them And I'm gonna put it on the schedule. Okay, and then once it's on the schedule change

It's the same time every year. I know once it's on the schedule, it does change. It's the same time every year. I know. Once it's on the schedule, then I'm just going to plan it out like a show, just like when you went fesson hunting and you asked me and I said, I put it on the schedule. I'm putting it on the schedule. And what did I do? I put it on the schedule. What happened two days before I bailed? You bailed. If anyone wants to know what kind of buddy Charlie Barons is, he's a guy that'll tell you He's coming and then two days before just bail on a good bailer though. So if you're ever out in a boat, you just bring me along

But yeah, I what kind of hunter are you? I'm somewhere in between I want to be someone who tries. Yeah, I do too But then it's like you know a Tuesday before opener and you're like, Oh, shit, I haven't said it in my rifle. Where did I leave my, my, uh, hunting pants, you know, all it's just, I want to be someone who is constantly doing, like, I want to like spray my stuff down with the scent killer. Yeah, right. I wanna use like non smelling soap than few days before.

Yeah. I don't look, never done it. I mean, I don't bow hunt. So I just, I just do rifle hunt. And that's probably good. Because otherwise I would just be, I'd never hit it, never get it to your ever because they'd smell me a mile away. Yeah.

I mean, the booze from the night before. Yeah. Well, that is true. There is a lot of planning. And if I know you and me, just the way I know you and you and me is we are not planners. No, we are just the worst. Just like, well, that's a good thing. Look at this. We're shooting this podcast two days before it's supposed to come out.

I know. You know, yeah, it's how it goes. I don't know. But I, uh, we got some good collars today. Yeah, should we get to it? We're going to get to some collars and, uh, I think it's going to be fun. We back in the same saddle back in the same saddle, different horses though. Yeah.

Do the math on that yeah I got to say a side card is a really long saddle that drapes over two oh that can be cool it's kind of fun yeah all right all right hello who do we go online oh this is Rob Rob where are you from? Where are you at? I'm from the Hello, ground green Bay, Wisconsin. Okay. And a boy Rob. What do you think about them Packers this year? I caramba.

I'm sorry for all the years of calling you, talking crap about your terrible team. And then you ask him for advice. How do they live with such a terrible team for so many years? You know, all in and you hope you know, you know, that's funny. You should say that because my fiance's family is all bears fans. Oh, so you're surrounded by are they telling you at this point? I told you so you guys are going to have a great topic. That Christmas this year. Yeah, how are they reacting to your wife's family? Are they upset? They're probably upset with the bears. Bears are doing an awful this year too. They're used to that. They don't want to watch football with me. Let's put it that way. Okay, even still. I see. What would you call in for if it wasn't to a moment to buy the bag? Yeah, I'll be up to the bar with us. What do you got on your mind? So, I got some advice from you from you folks.

I got two big things happening in my life. Cap, I just bought a host. Congratuate, James. Thank you, thank you. And the second one is I got engaged just last October. So I'm planning on wetting. Oh, dead man walking, dead man walking. So you bought a house and you're planning a wedding.

How's your pocketbook feeling these days? And probably not too good, huh? No, no, it's not. So what advice are you looking for when it comes to that? Hello, I mean, I know that from listening to the podcast, there's been a lot of a lot of talking about your wedding. Yep. So I don't know what you got for tips and tricks for me.

What do you got? All right, so you're looking for tips and tricks about planning a wedding. One. for what you got for tips and tricks for me? What do you got? All right, so you're looking for tips and tricks about planning a wedding. One, if you're thinking about doing a bunch of yard games and stuff, I don't know what time of year it is, but you know, a bunch of corn, whole giant, jenga, giant, connect for all that.

You don't need that. People wanna do two things at a wedding. One, they wanna drink, and two, they wanna talk shit about the wedding. So. So. Ah. Yeah, that's true.

So all you gotta do is make sure there's booze there and you gotta make sure you do something that's a little bit questionable. So it gives something for everyone to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of distract them. Give them the one thing that everyone can say. It was great wedding, except for that like wasn't that. Yeah. Wasn't that weird? Yeah. Not people to be saying that. Yeah. Nothing brings a group of people, the two families together more than talking shit about something that you did. Yeah.

Get yourself a big tax. like the ugliest tax, it's their meat deer you can find to just hang it in the, the right next to the drinks at the reception. Maybe you have a weird unity ceremony. Oh, what is that? Like where people usually do like the two things of sand that they put together, like a candle,

but just do something weird, you know, maybe like you guys ride in on horses to the ceremony, something like that. Just anything a little bit out of the ordinary. The rest of the wedding can be normal. Just need one thing from the talk shit about have your wedding car. You're like get away car after you get married. Be a hers. Yeah, yeah, that could be fun.

Yes, you know, because could be fun. Yes. You know, because you're like, what? It was cheaper and who can argue with that? Or better yet, just have a herse parked out front. And no, you don't even need just, yeah, that's true. That's true. And everyone's gonna be like, did you see that herse? Yeah, what parka herse there?

And that's maybe, I thought this is a one thing. It's not a funeral. Yeah, they'll blame the church for it. That way they blame the church. They're not even blaming you. So there you have it. Yeah, Get them to blame one of the institutions. Not, you know, your deal. So are you, what do you think your fiance is going to be in on this or not? Oh, I think she is. She's, she's very big and, uh, murders and and scary mysteries and stuff like that. I'm just gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff.

I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff.

I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff.

I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the stuff. I'm gonna have to get some of the the stuff. fingers in. Yeah, or just or no, just take some fake blood and just drip it down the aisle and then just see if anyone notices. Yeah. Something like that. If you're in the murder mystery stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. Turn your wedding into a, a, an escape room. Turn the wedding into an escape room. Hide keys and stuff underneath the chairs, you know, higher a real murderer, you know, don't do that. Well, you know, not not to really murder you guys already have something that you guys already have something that you don't want to do, but your fiance wants to do.

Well, the, uh, the groomman or groomsman versus bridesmaids is this way out of whack. She's got I think a 10 or 11 and I got five. So perfect. Perfect. You don't got to do anything else. Everyone's going to be talking shit behind your guys back about the unbalanced between the groomsman, the bridesmaid. That's perfect.

They're going to be talking a lot of that I don't know who they're who are they gonna be talking more here. I'll talk smack about him You talk smack about her right now about her. Oh, she's juicy that he came and find five more friends Yeah, I don't know what her deal is, but I think she's got a lot of fake friends. Yeah, 100% there's no way you have that many best friends I know it's like how many sisters does she have it? It's not five. There's no way. have that many best friends. I know. It's like, how many sisters does she have? If it's not five, there's no way. Yeah. I mean, honestly, like, it's so mean to make her friends by all new dresses for this wedding.

That's so much extra money spent on this. And imagine how, like, do you think like they brought extra gifts to like the party? What do they call those parties? The reception. I don't know what they what do they call those parts? Do you think they brought extras for him? Because he didn't have enough friends in his. What is up with these millennials these days?

I think everyone's got to have a trophy. I know. Everyone's got to be a bridesmaid. Are these drinks free? By the way, this better not be a cash bar. Time out. Is this not an open bar? This is wedding sucks.

Oh my god. You know what? But it was a nice wedding. It was a nice wedding. It was nice wedding. We really love to each other. We're here that they had so many bridesmaids versus the groomsman, but it was a good way. So there you go. That's the shit talk that they're going to say. But now we got it out. Now you know that's going to happen. You don't even got a word about it on the day. Yeah. We brought it out to the light. How does that feel? I can't wait for this.

I mean, I actually was out of wedding within the last couple of years, where there was three maids of honors. So it's going to be same church, different view for you guys. Just know that you'd rather be talking crap about that than talking crap about the food. Cause that's true. That's maybe the cardinal stand of a wedding is the food's bad and there's not enough booze. So if you can get those two things right, think you're gonna have a pretty baller wedding. And also I just wanna clarify,

I think you have a lot of friends. Okay. I just wanna. Yeah, and I'm sure all your fiancee's friends are all great gals. Yeah. We were just rollin'. You guys, your guys' invitations are in the mail. So nice. Well, you know what? We'll go, we'll show up there and we'll kick some ass of anyone who's talking shit

about your wedding. There. Okay. Or you know, you know, Charlie, it's, it's trading at that nice tone of fondal act. Oh, you're getting married in fondle act. James, that's a off-skip and a job. I'll bring Grandma Su over. I'll bring Aunt Mary to. Please do. Yeah. Please do.

Are you getting married at that nice new hotel? They put up there. No, we're getting married at the golf course out there. What is it? What's going on? I should get married. When Mary comes there, can you believe they're getting married at a golf course out there. What is it? Whispering? Yeah, I should get when Mary come there. Can you believe they're getting married at a golf course of all places? They just do it at a church.

You know, cheese, I can't even and these drinks I guarantee you we're going to have to pay for and I had to part my car like a mind. You're paying for the booze. You're paying for the little custom stir sticks. I got golfers right here. How tacky I see golfers. Oh my gosh, you know, I that is a beautiful golf course That's when you walk up to them, you know, no, that place is great. I've done it Wow must be nice having enough money to get married at a golf course. Yeah, I have to throw their money in our faces Geez, we get it. You're rich. Okay. Yeah, we get it. You're rich. Like you could afford to have that many bouquets with that many bridesmaids. I'm just going to take my press in a way. Do you think they'll notice? Of course not. Yeah. That's a great spot. I got to put more money in the card now.

No, I'm sure it'll be a great way. I know. I have done a show. I've done a couple shows there. A couple performance. It's a nice spot. Oh, it's a great spot right out know because I have done a show.

Start doing this podcast later in the day. So people don't call in during work. Yeah, he definitely got chewed out. And we were just going, we're still going.

He's probably, I wonder how long he was getting chewed out while we were going. They were probably like, we talked to him. He's like, my wife and then it's us going, oh, yeah. You know, yeah. At a spandex, he got caught. See, he told you my wife. Oh, God. All right. Hello.

Well, how do we got on the line? This is our day. I'm going from the Chicago land area. What was your name? Dave. Dave from the Chicago land. Which land in Chicago? Are you from Dave? which land in Chicago are you from Dave? Oh man, I've lived in almost a good number of the suburbs of them currently calling from Carol Stream. Oh okay, Colonel Stream. Carol Stream. Carol Stream.

I didn't even know where Carol Stream is. I really knew there was a Carol Suman confess set. Yeah, Carol's got a stream. Yeah, sure. So what's going on? You actually were, you actually were right about that. I thought it was named for a body of water, but it was named for a cushion.

Really? Indeed. Oh, her name is Carol Stream then. Wow. She sounds like a good, good girl. Yeah, she does. We'll have to look her up on the Wikipedia. Find out what makes her so special.

She get a city named after her, but good for Carol. Dave, though, let's shift focus to you now. What's going on? What brings you here today? Well, big fan of the podcast and of you guys and I saw that the number was posted, so I'd give it a try. I'm honored to talk to you both. No, we're honored to talk to you. Thanks for calling in. Why don't you belly up to the bar with us though and tell us on your mind? What do you got? Oh Where's yours? So One of the things I'm wondering about is always love the bits that child you make about father Tom. Oh, yeah, by the time

We laugh a bit and I make sure that's because I myself in the pastor and Wow, you're a pastor. Dave, the pastor's on the show, different church, same alter. Yeah. I think you're more right in a lot of ways that I think you're right. There was so many different denominations and connections that actually make us more, you know, you didn't separate, but you know what? I'm already starting to, uh, I'm feeling a little bit like, uh, feeling good. I'm feeling the pastor this show. You know, he's, he's preaching to us and we don't even know it. I'm picking up what he's preaching out right now. So,

well, there we go. So continue, uh, yeah, where you pastor at Dave. So actually I'm calling from the work right now. It's coming down a bit here in the afternoon. Our congregation has a food pantry here in the building and they go through one o'clock and the morning gives us your app and finally quiet down a little bit. Oh nice. I'm actually about to down get some work done. Did you get permission? You're number.

Did you get permission from your boss God God, to call in today or what? Yeah, to God tell you to call in. I can't say direct that. I tried to pray often, but you know, the way God's faces always really interesting. And I've never heard a burning bush or a loud booming voice, but. Yeah, I mean, but he did have a lot of... He brought you the number today. So I think that that's a sign right there.

By the way, what's the food pantry of people are in town and around while I'm bring food over where they where can they bring it? Yeah, so it's a part of the organization called neighborhood food pantry that's here in our. We host one of their pantry sites and We host one of their pantry sites and, so, what is the website for them? I think it's just NFP.org. And my congregation site is Lutheran Church of the Master. That's where they can bring donations and thoughts. They're always looking to do more good here in the community, which is fantastic.

There you got it, Dave. I got a question, and Miles, you just said hell yeah to a pastor. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey question. And Miles, you just had to tell you out to a pastor. She's Louise, you know, so no, it's not about that. Pastor Dave. No, no, no, no, no, do not apologize words or words. All words are words. Well, in that case,

I got a question. When you're a pastor and you're up there, pastor in, okay? What are the things that you see? What are the telltale signs that someone in your pews is not listening? Well, I don't want to be reddened anybody out. Well, I'm not asking to rat anybody out. I'm asking you to rat everybody out. This is what all people do when they're trying.

Mostly me and Charlie are wondering is if the priests or pastor can tell that we're not paying attention. Yeah, how do you know? You know, I'd say it's 50, 50. It's what tends to grab my attention is of my two boys in the congregation are making noise.

That always makes this mile. I don't know if they're trying to get dead attention or what noise. That always makes this mile. I don't know if they're trying to get dead, attention or what, but that always makes it smile. I think motion might be the biggest thing if somebody's rocking up and leaving. Ah, yeah, that's a good sign. That'll be a good test. Well, if they're sitting there,

no, I'm not saying that I ever do this move. I'm not saying that I've ever seen it happen. It probably doesn't, but if someone were to happen be crossing their arms with their chin in their chest, with their eyes closed, and every once in a while, their headbabs a little bit, is that a good sign that they're not listening, or are they listening so intently that their body is giving out. Yeah.

It could be, it could be both, could be both, but I, if that I've ever seen that happening, I kind of take the same approach I did when I was a high school math teacher before I became a pastor that if that student is following the sweeper that parishioner might be starting to do is well then shoot that might be what they need the most right there in that moment. Yeah, you know what? We need more pastors like you. He just needs a nap. Give him a nap. Do you have a nap space in the church or should if I'm falling asleep in church, should I just

continue sleeping or should I just go home and take a nap? So I excuse myself and say, you know what? God's telling me to take a nap right now. What do you think? I don't think you need. I don't think you need to excuse yourself. No. No. Yeah. Just right there. snooze insurance. So in logs, well, he's trying to preach. Yeah. What if what if miles snores? What if what if he brings some snore into your, I'm guessing. What if, why? Because I got a big neck. Actually, no, I've heard you.

I've heard you remember that cabin? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, sorry. I don't need to tell everyone about our special trip. I don't know if it's worth to incorporate it in somehow, but I think you kind of started driving

on a bit of my question. I mean, we just come to two years of a pandemic, I'm not going to be a little bit much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more

much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more

much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more much more all are welcome. I certainly believe. All right. That it's true. That it's true. But sometimes it gets, you know, more for you that is more all are welcome as long as you're like. Yeah. Okay. All right. So the question is, you're wondering what really makes you feel comfortable at a church? Not just, you know, not just all talks and everyone's like, what actually makes comfort feel comfortable? And I'll just jump out ahead here first. Number one

thing that makes me feel comfortable at a church is if they got snacks. If there's a snack when I walk in, I can tell you this much. I'm gonna be already like, okay, you got me. I'm now ready to snack, sit down and listen. Miles is a snacks guy. So I don't know if you could tell that about me, but I like snacks. Yeah, that's very interesting now. Maybe complimentary coffee is also a big deal. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. For sure, we're, we're, we're, we've always got coffee. We're not always the great coffee, but there's always some somewhere. See, that's different from Catholics. Catholics don't have any of that in church. Sometimes the one Sunday month, you'll leave and they got a donut day for some reason in the back.

And then you can go get a donut. Or the lions made breakfast for everyone. The lions club. Yeah, or the rotary or something like that. Yeah. So Charlie and I both grew up Catholic so So I'm I'm actually you bringing coffee to the table. I mean that's pretty good now It's pretty good. Usually all we get every Sunday is a simple wine and that's it

You know and I always thought about this pastor Dave, you know, let's say you know The the spirit of what you're saying, I think, is that you're trying to make sure all people feel welcome there. Do you ever like just go out to the bars and do some recruiting? You ever just start doing some recruiting there? You're like, hey, what are you doing? Talking later over at the spot, you ever do it? I mean, priests, you know, oh, you do.

Do you have a bar Bible study? That's a good way to do it. Yeah. So the first call I was in the head, it would call it drink in the word. And then looking to start it up here in my new congregation as well. I've had the opportunity to do much of it because of pandemic stuff. But indeed, yeah, so we're discussion based kind of Bible study. We hold on some local establishment nearby and and a foot of a sign that hey this is who we are is what we're doing and I think another good way to make everyone feel welcome is use lots of sports

analogies right yeah you you want to do if you're doing the parable of the prodigal son, right? That's right. And you could do the parable. You could do a, a, it'd be like if bread farve left the packers, went to the Vikings and then defrauded the state of Mississippi. And then went back to the packers and won a Super Bowl, right? Like that's what you could what you could use those analogies that could, that everyone can relate to. I can't relate to, you know, the whole,

the actual story of, well, I can relate to that. I can relate to this. Yeah, that's what parables were there. You just kind of relate the story of something known to that particular community of that particular time. Yeah, that was, that'd be retool. Yeah, let's re, uh, let's re update the parables for now. That'd be kind of cool.

Like Pastor Dave's updated parables. So you just take all the parables with Jesus in them and then you just make them all about the bar and fishing and hunting and sports. And then before you know it, you know, you got your own book you can sell. Be a New York Times best seller right there. And you want to make sure you use cool hip, lingo, you know, it's not your

wife. It's your old ball and chain. You want to use terms like that. And then people will be paying attention. Yeah, the old ball and chain, new lingo. Yeah, hasn't miles as is lingo hasn't been updated since 1954 the marriage in the bible's already complicated enough yeah actually that one doesn't need to be updated that's still the same yeah I there is yeah you can't put a

definition of biblical marriage out there is just so many different examples in there I think what no yeah that's true that is that is very true in there. I think what? No. Yeah, that's true. That is, that is very true. You know, I, I think the Bible is interesting because I think, you know, a lot of people try to say stuff, you know, because the Bible says that because you have a pastor online. No, the true ton of that.

I'm not, I'm being honest. I think, I think if you, if you read the Bible, back me up on this pastor day, have you ever read the Bible? I've read the ton of the Bible. Okay. Yeah. Not just a couple lines that they made you read in CDC class. No, I wrote enough lines for my standup bit as well. But I will say the Bible says so many things that whatever you think the Bible says and you're telling people you got to do this because the Bible says it. I think that says more about you and does the bible because the bible says almost everything if you read a close i think it's i think it's about on trial yeah you can you can pretty much make the bible say whatever you want like if you

do you have an idea of what you're trying to say you can find something in there that'll back you up yeah it's gotta be the app it's gotta be the backwards that we gotta read it for what's the scripture they're trying to say to you. Right. Here's a Bible verse. I think we're talking about his interpretation. Interpretation. Yeah, Oh, now miles. You should interpretation. Pastor Dave, you should look at the way miles

is looking at me right now. Pastor Dave, can you? Oh, no. He's looking at me like he's a freaking philosopher. I know. He's a dang near Robin is beard, you know? Pastor Dave, if you wouldn't mind rightfully through the Bible for me quick and finding out how I can Where it says in there that I can drink a hundred beers at the bar on weekends

So then I can tell my fiance that I just did it because the Bible said so that would be Just something we can interpret that way. I don't know. There is the first miracle of the Jesus which turned the water to one. Okay. All right. And by why? And they meant beer. And they meant that you have to drink it all because you can't take it home with you. Boom. 100 beers. Boom. Wow. Look at that. You really? If you want that, sure, it can be there. But if I'm worth you, you're going to have to miss the picture of being a from Martin Luther himself. He was quite the beer drinker.

Martin Luther. Oh, geez. Why do you have to bring Martin Luther into that? That's where you, that's where me, Charlie, and you have a little bit of a deal. We should have left Martin Luther. This is why I don't hold the door for Lutherans because they might just nail another 95 feces to it, Father. And it's a glass door. I just called your father pastor. That's why I'm it. Martin Luther, good guy, you know, probably. Oh, yeah. You know, yeah, he's a good guy, you know, he had his pluses of minuses. He was good with a hammer. Good.

I mean, I don't necessarily, I don't necessarily blame him. I don't like going to confession. You know, you know, it would be so nice to be able to just lie and bed the next day and be like, Hey, God, sorry about last night. We good for today or what? You know, that would be, but, you know, it's how it goes. Anyway, did you learn anything here? Faster Dave, or did we just lower your face in humanity?

Oh, God, nothing lowered at all. Not at all. I love the, I love my, the amount of my members are our former Catholics. And so it's a familiar, familiar bar game for sure. That was just a such a dig there. That was such a low key day. Just a bastard. Just a bastard Luther sitting there.

Yeah. Yeah. All the people fill in my pews every Sunday. They used to be Catholics, you know. I know. I remember that this, I said, you said it more that you used the faith between all sorts of Christian enemies and the earth that's different. That is true.

God is loving all who live and love, living God. That's a Bible quote. So, you know, if you live and love or you live and God, you live in the same thing. Miles, just think about that. I love you. I love you, Charlie. Yeah. And I love me because I love my neighbor like I love you. I love you, Charlie. Yeah. And I love me because I love my

neighbor like I love myself. Amen. Right. Wow. Well, there you go. Pastor Dave, I think we all learned a lot today. I think at the end of the day, we can just say different church, same P. You different church, same P. Yeah. And the P. is in the back because I'm not sitting in the front. Yeah. And I might want to sneak out. Yeah. Sneak out maybe in the back because I'm not sitting in the front. Yeah, and I might want to sneak out Especially after communion I'm out of there. They don't have the communion in the Luton deal Yeah, oh you do hang on they got it's like once a month. Oh, it's once a month Oh, no, every week. Oh, you gotta Is it a white wafer or is you got the, the, the

unleavened bread? Is it unleavened or is it leavened? We've done both. Yeah, it's fundamentally went back to this single wafer. It's changed a lot now because pandemic and we're in that state and in fact, we've got the wafer at the moment. Yeah, I mean, did you have you ever had unle on 11 bread? I mean, yeah, that's pretty good Yeah, I like way better than the wait for all wait Yeah, are you guys making your own communion bread over there? Hey, let's make on 11 bread grade again. Oh, yeah. What the hell can I miss? What?

What? What? Is it ever not great? It's always been great. No, I'm more so bring it back. Oh, you want to bring it back. Certainly, wait for it. Aren't the wait for it's unleavened?

Well, all wait for it's unleavened, right? I mean, I don't, it's a wait for even bread. Do you even know what unleavened bread is miles? I literally made it in grade school. Okay, what's a difference? It doesn't rise. But Jesus, right? The way for the bread is in flower and broader. Hey, your interpretation of waifers is at their bread, just like the Bible, you know? Could we use like nila wafers?

Yeah, can we? Or is that disrespectful? Could our interpretation of it be like, we could make nutter butters, you know? Oh, no. People got pretty creative when we were doing worship purely online. We started to do community. We invited our members to try to

grab some fine some bread and some wine nearby if you had this other elements. We got pretty interesting in the pandemic and there's some stories that people were indeed did use a cookie one Sunday and some water or a bookies and milk and smart. Yeah. You know, fry.

Had to be here. Had to be resourceful just being at home. Heck yeah. Heck yeah. See, I'm on you. Change man. Father, I think you did faster. You did so much good for us here.

You did some fun with all your father, Tom, pastor, Dave. I'm sorry. You did some good work today. I'm going to have another beer. Stop saying help or say hack more. I'm gonna have another beer. Stop saying hell. Say hack more and I'll use a beer with you. Yeah. Well, we appreciate you calling in today. Yeah cheers to you. I've We're ever in Uh, if we're ever in Carol's stream

Chicago sure you'll have to uh, We'll have to swing on through and we'll be in the back, but we'll be in the pew. We'll be there. All right. I'll keep my hat out for you. All right. Sounds like a good one. But by now, so you're folks that I yeah, I'm watch for deer. Okay, they're rotten. Oh, you bet. Yeah.

Thanks guys. That's a great guy. He was a great guy. He did, you know, I could have gone off the rails. He, uh, he was definitely patient as a pastor should be with us. But, uh, I think we all learned something today. He was a Voda anger. Rich and kindness. Rich and kindness. I was like, what is the next one? I don't want to answer that. But picking it up. Um, no, that was really good. And I think, um, it was really hard for me not to just be whipping on all the Catholic knowledge that I got. I know. I kept on father at least three times. I know.

Yeah, he'll get over it. Hopefully he's praying for us. I could use it. Yeah. Yeah. Good. We all. All right. All right. guys. This belly up episode is brought to you by Tippy cow Tippy cow Charlie Tippy cow is made in Wisconsin made in Wisconsin And I would like about Tippy cow on this. We as the logo I tell you that right now It's got a cow that's gone ass over T kettle. Yeah, it's a curve like that or a bunch of Hooligans that think it's funny to go cow-tip. And you know, actually a fantastic supper club. So cocktail. We got deer camp coming up here, Charlie.

Yeah, we do. Am I invited or no? We were just talking about how we think, probably the way that I'm gonna celebrate, mm-hmm. After getting my 30 point buck this year, is to take my orange vest off, set it on the chair, after I hit this buck, have myself a nice orange cream,

Tippy cow. Yeah, it's blaze orange to match you. It's couldn't fit better. Couldn't fit better. You got yourself a Tippy cow, have a celebratory drink after you. Just goes down easy. Get that buck gone.

Did you know that it's actually made from Wisconsin cows? I did know that. Oh, others they didn't. Well, I was gonna say I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Yeah, I did know that. That's definitely one of the selling points. You know, yeah, you keep it local, you know, keep it local. That's a nice thing. Hey, you might be the first one to ever coin that phrase. Keep it local. Yeah. Keeper local. That's a nice thing. Hey, you might be the first one to ever coin that phrase. Keep it local. Yeah. Keeper local.

Keeper local. Oh, is that an impression of me, my else? It's my impression of you. Oh my God, it's cool. Oh my God, that tippy cow is cool. I like it over ice. Do you like it over ice? You like it just slightly, you like it chilled?

How do you like it? I like the ice to melt for a little bit. Yeah, the aroma to open up. It's like It's like a Thanksgiving dinner. It's a Thanksgiving dinner. It's all the juices. Yeah, just let them marinade in there And you got yourself just a nice little after hunt drink in the cup Little Thanksgiving drink in the cup. Oh, you're putting the mic right up to the slurp. Yes. Good for you. It's actually going down pretty easy. Yeah. Yeah. So guys, if you want a nice little afterbuck drink at deer camp, gotta get yourself some tippy cow, the orange cream baby, it matches the blaze orange just like your hunting. And a really good deer camp should have it.

So check it out. Look for the cow that's going to ask over to you, Kettle.

And hopefully everyone has a good opening weekend in Minnesota. Good opening weekend and enjoy the hunt. Hello, who do we got on the line? Hey, this is Ethan out in Michigan. Ethan from Michigan. What's going on with this? Michigan. What's up?

Well, I recently became an uncle and I just want to know how young is two young like kid out hunting and your guys opinion. How young is two young to take a kid out hunting? Well, the fact that you said I recently just became an uncle. That to me says, probably that's two young. Might be two young. If you're saying, you might be right. Yeah. Well, and here's why I think we need to think about reasons why that's too young. Might be too young. If you're saying, you might be right. Yeah. Well, and here's why I think we need to think about reasons why it's too young, right?

One, they can't really control when they can and not go to the bathroom. And if you're sitting in a deer stand, that's going to give you a way. That scent is going to be all over those woods. Yeah. There's no some fish he's going on. Some people he's going on. Some people he's going on. Yeah.

And also if they can't control when and where they're pissing, they probably can't, they probably, you probably don't want them around a loaded gun. Yeah. Well, historically speaking. I'm mostly going to have to, I'm mostly behind so I'm really okay. Okay. But they really got to be worried about the scent. That's a big one. Two, if they can't control their bathroom activities, they probably can't control when they're crying and not crying, going to give

you a way sound. So now we got two reasons why a deer is going to turn the other way. They have to be old enough to play the who can stay quiet is the longest game. Yes. And actually, actually win. Yeah. So like four or five maybe. Well, now we're getting to the question. Do you want them? Why do you want them there?

I think is the other question. Do you want them there because you're you do you want them there? I think is the other question of question Are you do you want them there because you're you're bonding with them or because you're trying to double dip on babysitting time Now I'm trying to help bring up the next generation of hunters I love that you don't need any other reason other. Yeah. No, that's great. You're trying to mold the next gen Yeah, I'm hunters No, that's great. You're trying to mold the next gen of hunters. Now, I will have to say, they're not gonna really remember shit when they're five. So I know what you're thinking, like, hey, get them young.

They don't know anything different. You can wait even till they're 10. Yeah. And you know what? I think, do you remember anything before old. Yeah, I remember a few things It's it's nice to get out in the woods and do that, you know But here's the other question is are they are they? Where they raised on an iPad, you know what I mean?

And then all the sudden you're taking them away from any sort of Wi-Fi you got know if they're Not iPad you got know if they're iPad trained or not, because if they're iPad trained, that's, there that's gonna be a lot of, so when do we get out of here, you know, kind of a thing? But maybe that's what you're teaching them anyway, which I think is pretty cool. Oh, here's another thing.

You should bring out a pair of binoculars and let them look out the binoculars. The more toys you can give them that get them with toy pair of binoculars to start right now. Train them for when they get them real binoculars. Another thing too is this is actually real advice here is even if they're not coming and sitting with you in the stand, bring them around all the activities, get them comfortable with the trophy deer that you bring home, bring them around deer camp once in a while so they can start to experience it even if they're not going and sitting with you. Yeah, teach them yuker, you know, that's a big one.

Teach them cards. Teach them how to gamble at a night at your camp. Yeah. From that young. Yeah, kind of get him involved with all the other aspects of it. That way you don't necessarily need to take him out on probably a cold day. I'm assuming, you know, and throw him right out there in the mix. But you know what? We should also say that both miles and I have absolutely no kids or any idea what the hell we're talking about. So you may, your instincts may be even better. And if you do end up taking your nephew out or your niece out, let us know how it goes. What did you say was?

They didn't have you. He's an nephew. Okay. Another good thing you could do is as soon as they start walking, send them out through the woods, have a flushed deer out. That could be a good one. Yeah, that's a good idea. Do you have how we should ask?

We, we haven't asked. We haven't asked this. How old is your nephew? Uh, three week. Oh, three weeks. 10 three weeks. He's getting ahead of the game. You're not going to remember any of this advice when

it comes to, you know, we're going to have to have this call all over again in five years. I get it, though. He's excited. He is excited. He's like, I've got a new hunting buddy, all that. But yeah, that's, yeah, you're going to have to be

patient. Yeah. Have you been around? What's his name? What's a little guy's name? My name is Declan. Have you been around Declan a lot in these first three weeks? A couple of things.

But I'm about 45 minutes from my brother. Well, and you got a hunt. So, oh, yeah, I'm actually up in the stand right now. So time on you called in in the deer stand. You might as well climb down that baby and just head back to the truck because, I mean, is that what I was wondering why he was being so quiet? I know. I don't think so.

And he's given us more than a whisper. He got a whisper. He's got a whisper. He's up for you to stand. Yeah, sorry. All right. So what are you seeing out there now? Is it in these squirrels? Just a couple of squirrels.

It's about a couple squirrels. Did you see, you didn't see any deer today? Did you see any deer this week? Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Shhh. Quiet. You're talking really loud. Yeah. Uh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh on the trail cams son of a goddess. Oh,

I haven't checked the cam much. Okay, that's probably why if you're kind of worried, put the trail cam. Hey, Hey, question, who at the baby, your brother or your sister? My brother. Okay, go to your brother. Yeah, you got to go over to your brother's deer stand. His ass is screwed for the next like year and a half. He's not going to make it any hunting. You use his deer stand and don't tell him. Oh, I would do that, but he doesn't use that much of a hunter. Okay. okay. I see what's going on here. So he's trying. He doesn't want his nephew to turn out like his brother.

That makes so much sense. Get it. We get it. Okay. We see you. Hey, that's it. Get that kid in the deer stand as soon as possible next week next week if you can bring baby for me Oh, okay, I know why it's gonna be weird when he starts trying to suck on your nipples and forget

Yeah, yeah, I don't know Imagine if a deer walk right now up to a stand and he shot the buck just our live on the podcast That would be so cool. It would be cool, but I'm not sure anything at the moment. Well, yeah, that's because you've been screaming this whole time. Jay's going ways. We're trying to get you to a hush down there. Well, look, good luck up there.

You got your what pound, what pounded? She got on that bow there. That, look, good luck up there. You got your, uh, what pound, uh, what pound did she got on that bow there? Oh, 70. Oh, yeah. Nice. Are you good? Are you good, shot? I'm pretty good shot. Yeah. So you're just skipping out on worker or what's what's going on? How are you able to be out there? I got out a bit early today, but normally I get out of brunch for anyway. Yeah, I suppose it is about 40. Is it really? It's 70 degrees out there. I tell you what, time really stands still in this bar.

And that's so you know you're in a good small town bar. As if you don't even know what time it is. Oh, they got a patio here. Maybe we do the rest of the pods at the patio. Yeah, maybe that'd be our first patio thing. Well, we appreciate you calling in. We hope that your luck gets a little bit better here towards the end of the day.

But I think, you know what, we did a 180. Get that kid in that deer stand as soon as possible. So he doesn't end up like your brother. Amen. Until your brother and your your sister long, we says hi and congratulations. All right, we'll do. Have you got one? All right, watch for deer. We'll do. We would be terrible in a deer stand together. We'd be terrible uncles too. Oh my god. I'm an uncle actually.

Oh, I am an uncle too. Hey, comeot, worked terrible on. We would be we are. Yeah. Um, you know, I'm actually not so we've had this, I mean, this is a wild episode. We've had a priest. We've had our first pastor, first pastor, pastor, sorry'm potato tomato. Different. Change different collar. Yeah. That's. Um, but, uh, yeah, I mean, call from a deer sand pastor, Colin, and this is a good episode. And also at the end, we get a beautiful bar Halloween candy. And that is the biggest bowl. Look at that sucker. Oh, my God. Lee small. Hey, I'm going to to take a walker. Yeah. Are you like you like getting wopper? I'm going to do a Twix mini. Thank you. Oh, we're good.

We're good. Well, I'll take a Reese's to not a not a sponsor. But I you know, thank you, sir. Well, you know what I like sometimes I like putting a Reese's in the freezer. I do too. And it nice and cold. Then you savor it a little more You don't just the power candy and the freezer are terrible people I think Carmo can't oh to make car. Carmo Well, then it melts in your mouth. Yeah, but I'm not in love with it. Could hurt your teeth, you know Well, if you bite into it, but the whole point is so you you just sit there and you let it you just got a patient

We'll get some freaking patients. No, that's why I can't bow on. I got a data rifle on. I can't wait for him to get that close. Yeah, they get to get close. All right.
