Starting point is 00:00:00 There's such a dark magic moment where Ray just whispers in absolute desperation. He's just like, please, please don't mention banana man. And Lawrence is like, oh, I should bring up the banana man thing. And he's like, if you want to, I've never been more empathetic to Ray when he's just like stupid Ray. I didn't even dare about the banana thing. I'd say banana man, don't say banana. I'm talking about banana man. OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OO OOBE OOBE OBE OBE OOBE OOBE OOBE OBE OBE OO 700 miles to my immediate leftism, a good friend, Heath and right, Heath, welcome back. Thanks Noah. So, you know, who's actually smart if you really think about it? Who's that? Stupid people. Oh, right on. You know, it's actually a good movie, this movie. Yeah, if you think
Starting point is 00:01:16 about it, all right. I'm, we've got 90 minutes, you can still convince me. This is interesting. They're going to, they're going to get philosophical about opposite. Oh, okay. And sitting 900 miles to my northeast is, of course, my bad friend, Eli Bosnick. Eli, how are you this fine afternoon, sir? I'm amazing, Noah. You know, before this week's movie, I thought my life was a series of embarrassments and more and more humiliating circumstances. But I realize that I have been winning the battle of ideas more and more each year. Oh, okay. He's gonna be talking about that.
Starting point is 00:01:49 So what's a positive twist on all things? Okay, so tell us, Heath, what will we be breaking down today? We watched the fool. It's the story of Ray Comfort trying so hard to get fucked by Pendulate with banana. And then accidentally making a movie about that. Like Ray thinks this movie is about God or something. It's not. It's about him being in denial about getting denied by Pendulate.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Like just, just get fucked with bananas. That sounds great. Just be yourself. I'm pretty excited. If you take one thing away from this ray and we know you're listening, it's that you should fuck yourself with a banana. And be free, Ray. And you'd be happy.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Let's do it. Just try it once, send us the video. We'll put if you didn't like it, you didn't like it. It's right. All right, so Eli. And there's no God. Right, well, Jesus would forgive you anyway, so it doesn't matter. So Eli, that's why we have hexagonal ass
Starting point is 00:02:47 was. So Eli, how bad was this movie? Well, if one time at a water park, your friends slid down a slide, kicked you in the stomach, causing you to shit yourself in vomit simultaneously. I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's
Starting point is 00:03:18 like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's like, I'm not going to be a guy who's sad and it's the best. It was honestly, it was like race, sent us an email and was like, Hey guys, if you ever feel guilty or sad because I probably have some kind of mental illness, no, no, I am, I am 100% confident
Starting point is 00:03:36 that everything you do to me, I'm gonna send you a picture of me hitting my nuts with a hammer. Oh, thank you, Mrs. No, I should know here that we actually had the opportunity to be present at the world, you to prepare of this movie. But we chose not to cause fuck right comfort up is banana holster as I said it in last week's Dietribe. If you want the whole story there, by the way, listen to the Dietribe
Starting point is 00:04:05 from episode 323 of the Skaving Atheist, we can tell you why we weren't there. But we had an opportunity, but it would require being in the same room with Ray Comfort. And that disgusts two of us and violates restraining orders from the third. And I didn't think he meant it. We missed out on those Dixie cups of banana split. Yeah. Oh, it's sad. Hey, can you give me this on a cup with a flat bottom? No, that's why I went, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:31 All right, never mind. Also, I'm sure you said this already in this gaming episode, but like the alternate was we had to leave American atheist convention. We had to stop seeing you to go hang out with Ray so that he could take a 34 second selfie and we could be like, we don't like you and you're causing gay teens to kill yourself. Whatever I don't care. And then we just go on our own fucking directions.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Then I'm just watching a movie in a rec room. Yeah, and this movie no less. Yeah, all right. So is there anything you guys want to nominate this one for being the best of being the worst at? Yes, I would. Best worst dictionary based. Oh, you can't say what right before it's all over. So Ray Comfort's reason for making this movie was embarrassment over not knowing a word from the dictionary. We'll get to the details.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And then he had the greatest moment of his life after that when he did know a word from the dictionary and its etymology and an atheist didn't. And he made an entire movie to go in between those two life events just to tell this story about later knowing a word. It's the best. Right, that's great. You know a word. Oh wow. It's the best. Ray, that's great. You know a word, just whatever you do.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Don't keep in the end where your opponent who didn't know what the words origins meant accepts your definition and congratulates you and changes their mind. Just don't show that in your movie. Yeah, and you'll be fine. And you'll be fine. Yeah. Oh, I kept it. Whoops.
Starting point is 00:06:02 All right. So this honestly could just be like, if I, if I needed to do a best worse for this movie or a best worse for Ray Comfort's life, I feel like I would do the same best worse. I'm going to go best worse less and learned, right? Like so, imagine that you have a table that's exactly like not height and you accidentally whack yourself in the balls if you come around the corner too quick, raise takeaway from that might as well be that you should just rip your testicles off before you go into the dining room. That's how thoroughly he misses the fucking point or that your nuts are better for the whacking. It's unclear. I'm going to go with, and I get a little controversial here, best worst knowledge of atheism.
Starting point is 00:06:49 You know when your grandma buys you a CD for Christmas and your computer hasn't had a CD player for 12 years, but it's that M&M, and it's like the M&M cartoons singing Christmas carols for sure. Do you like DEMONEM the rapper? That is the knowledge of atheism that Ray demonstrates to this movie. Give me a five and a quarter floppy disc. I know you likely I'm video games. All right, well, it's been too long since we got our comfort fixer. We'll keep the break brief and when we come back, We'll slip into all the revisionist history of the fool Heath heathen right oh Hey, Dr. J and not really a doctor. I'm a dentist, but you can call me that. Oh, okay cool
Starting point is 00:07:39 But you like went to medical school. I went to school. So so what seems to be the problem? Well, I want to take care of my teeth better, but it's so expensive. Plus, who has the time? Well, why don't you try Kwepp? Okay, nothing but the tooth, please. No, no, no, Kwepp, the smart way to brush. Okay, yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I didn't have a lot of time on that. For the record, you'll just wear a blank in the script. That was a quick script. So Quip has a build in two-minute timer that pulses every 30 seconds to remind you when to switch sides. Plus, brush heads are delivered on a dentist recommended schedule every three months for just $5. Wow, that's actually a great deal.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah, I love Quip because the included multi-use cover works as a stand and makes traveling with my truth brush or breeze. That's why I love Quip and why over a million of That's your first refill pack free at getqip.com slash awful. All right, I'm sold. Now, what's he just lean back and I perform minor surgery on your bones that hasn't changed for 50 years. The best medicine hasn't changed for 50 years.
Starting point is 00:08:57 That's right. Great. Hi, I'm right, Camphet. You know, we've had a lot of fun here today on Gorshuffle movies. Jesus, Ray. But of course, the point stands that through all the mockery I've spoken to the world's most famous atheists. There's like two guys.
Starting point is 00:09:17 There's cutting edge author who everyone still likes, Richard Dawkins, popular YouTuber, Thunderfoot, and of course, King of the Atheists himself, Lawrence Kress. I folk, none of those people, nope. But what's up there? In the full two, I'll be speaking to the brand new generation of atheists whose ideas have been sweeping the nation. For example, Bertrand Russell, dead guy, and the one and only Aristotle.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Super dead guy. Not an atheist. I'm Ray Comfort. And I know as much about the atheist movement, is your grandmother does your music taste? Correct. Carl Sagan. Still dead.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Also dead. Also dead. Do you think he would have been nice to me? No. No. And we're back for the breakdown. And we're going to start this one off. Drawed a gesture's hat on Ray Comfort.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I'd have gone further. Give him a pencil. Yeah. And we get a title card that says like comment share subscribe. That's the first thing. Like in the movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Like all great works of philosophy. We mash that like button Aristotle. Everyone shares this with four friends, and then those four friends share it with four friends, and so on. She's a really still a giant failure. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But at least he's a bit upfront about it, right?
Starting point is 00:10:39 Like right away, the picture of Ray Comfort comes up, and they label it like a buffoon, idiot, fool, jester, et cetera. And I'm like, okay, all right, we're starting on the right note here. And he looks like such an asshole. And I don't mean like a shitty person. He is a shitty person, but he looks like a literal balloon nut like his face. He does.
Starting point is 00:11:02 He does. He's like, it's like it's being sucked into a straw that's behind his head. You know what I mean? I grab behind his face. He does. He does. He's like caved in like it's like it's being sucked into a straw that's behind his head. You know what I mean? I grab behind his nose. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not saying the appropriate punishment for raise homophobia and transphobia is for him to look more and more like a monkey in each movie we see him in. But I'm not not saying that. No, I mean, that would explain a lot of the evidence. It's a good theory. All right. He's like right in the middle of the evolution chart. Like absolutely right in the middle guy. Yeah. Tyler, Tyler, come look at this. Come on. Come on. He looks in the mirror every morning and he's like, why are there still monkeys? Come on. I'm nailing it. Yeah. Sarah
Starting point is 00:11:39 thought it was hilarious. All right. So we opened the movie at AA con 2001 in Orlando. This is where Ray comforts squeegee the ass cheeks of Ron Barrier and a debate. Yeah. The theme that year was gloating. And he, he, Ray doesn't even understand. He's just like, how the fuck did I get invited to this thing? Like I don't get invited places. I once crashed a time share. Well, but the funny thing is like, okay, the real answer of how we got invited is that we knew he was the most likely person to look stupid in front of a bunch of atheists in all of Christianity, right? That's the moment of pride he's taking here. And also, by the way, he steals his interstitial shot from Donkey Kong country. And I think I'm the whole time. I want to jump in a barrel. I'll really, really bad here. Oh, it dies on the wall. The banana wipes. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:39 yeah, the banan, yeah, he's the banana wipes every scene. It's the best. I was like, kind of happy with them by the end of it. I kind of liked them. Yeah. But so he talks about this debate and he's like, but then Ron Barrier was such a coward. He pulled out, but then he put it back in and then he pulled out again. And he put it back in. And the ending was in though. And we had the debate.
Starting point is 00:13:00 And why do Ray do not tell this part of the story? Because Ron sends out this super sweet email being like, hey, everybody, this guy is an idiot. And I don't feel like embarrassing him. I don't feel like stooping down to this level. Let's just call this off. And he was like, keyword. And real is like, five.
Starting point is 00:13:19 We got it. All right. I'll hold fingers behind my back and you'll fail to guess a number less than five. It's 2001. It's our convention. I'm just giving it. This is worse here. All right. So then we back up a couple of the chronology in this goddamn movie is insanity. It's just as shit occurs to him. He's like, oh, oh, and this was in 1989. So now we're in 1989 in Christ Church, New Zealand, where he got his start as Guy yelling at people in the streets about Jesus. Yep. Guy who took advantage of the yelling people
Starting point is 00:13:58 place so often and in such an irritating way that eventually a church walked up to him was like, Hey, you know, we pay people to do that, right? Do you want to do that? Refashionally. Yeah. And this is where he decides to move to Los Angeles, right? Yeah, he's like yelling people yelling at people like I'm crazy. He'll go for way better in America. Yeah. And by the way, we see a one page newspaper from like some terrible local source. And this is the exact quote about Ray Comfort moving to the US. It says, Mr. Comfort will approach the city fathers of Los Angeles with two quote, very good letters of commendation from New Zealand civil authorities. It's continuing firm backing also comes from his friendly foe, the wizard.
Starting point is 00:14:48 What? That's the end of the quote. Yeah. Eventually he sheds a little light on that, but boy, do I love it with no context. If that's like the newspapers way of saying God's on his side. Yeah. And by the way, when he sheds light on it, he's like, this is the wizard end of thought. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. He also disagreed with me. His mental illness didn't stretch far enough to agree with me, but it did stretch to calling himself the wizard. It's weird that there's a light in figure. There would be a line between those. I call myself banana man. He's crazier. All right, speaking of which, this is where he introduces his banana routine, which for whatever reason,
Starting point is 00:15:32 he thinks it's very important that we know this is normally preceded by a bit about a coat can. Right. As though, like, he seems again, completely misses the point, just keeps hitting his nuts on that table and shit. He seems to think the reason we're making fun of the banana video is that we don't get the contact of it. Yeah, he is the racist guy explaining the racist joke of theologies. He's a no yes, because the black guy would be committing the crime. He's lying.
Starting point is 00:16:01 You call him because they commit crime. Why are you on the laughing? I heard this. I almost shat myself. All right. Fine. I'm sorry. Brock. Get back to your speech. Whatever. Ruined my joke. I'm sorry. Before he leaves New Zealand, he also introduces us to his evidence Bible. Right. A parable of scribbling that he was keeping in the front of his Bible and he's like, ah, I figured out the answers to all of the questions. I should publish these along with the Bible and his publisher loved that idea. Also I don't want to call forward or anything, but we should 100 percent do the evidence by bowl if the kindle preview is anything
Starting point is 00:16:45 like the rest of it it is nothing but solid gold. Okay. All right. It's nonsense. I paused on the one page of his stupid notes that he shows us his handwritten notes at the front of his body. Oh boy, that was like the fucking the notebooks in seven or something. Oh, he's absolutely serial killer on top of her.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Explain to me, no question. But one of the things, one of the notes in this thing, it says, it's like, he's doing like his flow chart of like how to harass strangers on the street better. And one of the things says, note to self, open, rebuke better. So like, he was just being like, you're evil. And then like, all right, no self, maybe try.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I don't know. All right. He's got two thumbs and is an evil, me, all right? Oh, looks like you down have two thumbs. Power of Christ compels you. I'm workshopping this. Feel free to go. I'm going to grab you a minute.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Wait a minute. Rebuke at the end. Seven. Okay. All right. So then, okay, so we cut back to the debate, Norland, of now that we've established that he used to scream at people, but he's really nervous about doing his Coke can in banana bit in front of a room full of atheists that would understand how stupid it was.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. And he's saying that like the Coke can got erased by atheists sometimes when we like made fun of him, right? I'm like, I'm so curious at this point, like how the Coke can gets used considering like the banana gets a huge and a beach like what was he doing? I wonder. Yeah, I will say I would have been way more impressed with the banana video if I'd realized there was a coke can up there the whole time. He just, uh, well, and again, this is the core of the movie, right? Is this ray doesn't understand why people laugh at the banana thing, right? People aren't laughing at the banana thing because you're pointing a dick shaped thing at your face.
Starting point is 00:18:51 That's a bonus. That is a bonus. The reason why we're laughing at you, Ray, is because you think this is a good argument, right? And if you didn't think it was a good argument, you wouldn't present it. I know you think that it also involves silly business where you like turn to the banana and go like, look, it's good, I can't man everything.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And you think that's like, you know, Richard prior 1978, I get that, but they're not laughing because like you misplayed the cap bit. Yeah. I was laughing because he suggested that a banana can come in your face. Well, that's yeah, right. Like what fruit squirts in your in your face. Well, that's, yeah, right. Like what fruit squirts in your face? Right. Well, that's the thing though, the two things we're laughing at are both things that he
Starting point is 00:19:30 doesn't get. One, the dick stuff, right? He seems to honestly not realize that it's the dick stuff primarily driving this. And two, yeah, he keeps saying, well, like without the Coke can and the live audience laugh it along, you think I'm serious with this argument, but you are serious with the argument, right? Like you present an argument, but your dogs wearing sunglasses in the background, you're still being silly, but you wouldn't present the fucking argument if you didn't think it was a usable argument.
Starting point is 00:19:57 It wouldn't make sense as a joke if it wasn't a usable argument in your mind. The argument itself is stupid and he continuously misses this point, no matter how it's broken down for him over and over again, table to the nuts. Yeah, no matter how many various examples he sees of people making fun of the argument. Yeah. And then puts in this movie. Right. Part of the argument is like, all right, well, this is a well-made banana. So, I mean, you're saying God makes shitty one sometimes to do with the size.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, clearly. Clearly, yeah. And then he refers to the sides of the banana as the close side, the far side. And he turns them around so they're both closer to him when he labels them that. Yeah, someone raises their hand. What if the banana is in space in a vacuum? Yeah, someone raises their hand. What if the banana is
Starting point is 00:20:46 in space in a vacuum? Get the fuck out of this rotating. Have you a serious conversation? Trying to disprove atheism here. What are you doing? Jerk off of banana in space. You don't make any sense right now. You sound dumb. You're dumb. Christians be jack and off of being in a lock this. A lot of people be jacking off of being in a lock. So women be shopping. But no, but okay, but see, here's the thing though is he tried the whole point of the movie is first of all for him to miss the point of what we're laughing at, but also to say that he was trying to get us to laugh the whole time, right? That was what he was going for. He was going for dick joke or something. But and so we go back to him doing it at the, um, at the atheist convention. And yeah, sure, there's a couple of laughs there, but they're, you know, those cynical, I can't believe that's actually his argument laughs, right?
Starting point is 00:21:42 Yeah. Because we atheists don't appreciate high-prow humor, I guess. Ray, if you hear laughter and have sense memory of all the times your mom told you someone was laughing with you, they're not. Right. No, they're not. No. Yeah. Well, but no, but he does cut back to a video of him killing with this bit, though, right?
Starting point is 00:22:02 Like in England, he's in England somewhere. And this bit is like rivaling a laugh track, right? People are going nuts. Just like, bananas, like, dicks, that shit. I'm shitting myself right now. I'm shitting. I'm shitting. I'm a Christian.
Starting point is 00:22:18 This is funny. Yeah. And also, okay. So I didn't, so we've pointed out before one of the hilariously stupid things about this video is that he opens his bananas backwards, right? Like if you open the banana by the stem, you're, you're going to squish your fucking banana. If you open it by the other end, it's just as easy to open. You have a little more to hold on to at the end of the banana and you don't squish it
Starting point is 00:22:41 as you try to open it. I thought he didn't know that that's how all the monkeys ate their, you know, he knows that he's seen it done and he still doesn't realize that's the correct way to eat a banana. Nope. And this is one of my favorite parts. He says the banana peel clearly has four perforations for terrier. And we're, I'm looking at it. I can see with my eyes that you only tore three tears. You didn't even get to four per per pervations that God intended you to get. He tried to peel two of my part into a fourth perveration at one point, but he misses. That's a little tougher than the others. I'm going to rewrap this banana in a second because I'm a fucking crazy person.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He wraps, he's saving that banana for lunch or for the next day, like he clearly tapes it back up. He attries to, he literally just, exactly what you're picturing podcast listener. He just sort of swamps the peel of the banana back under the banana, watches it fall back down. And you see the schizophrenia delete that image from his eyes. And he just puts it down on the table. He did it.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Good job, Ray. Sealed against germs and oxygen. Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing. And yeah, his point, he's doing the like he's jerking it off and doing all these accidental, I think, sexual maneuvers on it. And he's saying like it's perfect fit for human insertion and mouth, whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And I wanted somebody to jump and be like, behold, the pineapple break up first night. Yeah, right. Or the coconut or any number. Yeah, right or the coconut or any number. Yeah, right. Okay. So now the things, the objects that don't fit into your mouth and ask correctly. Yeah, yeah. That our food products or potential dildos. Yes, exactly. All right. So now it's time to speak and a dildos. It's time to get Kurt Cameron in
Starting point is 00:24:40 on the action. Um, he said, and then in 2001, famous actor Kurt Cameron, like, you know, formerly famous actor Kurt Cameron combined his ministries with mine. And that's when they filmed the infamous banana video. Oh, and I love that he's like, yeah, so Kurt made me say that he, he actually said, hey, that's, that's fucking stupid before we started filming, but I cried for an hour and a half. So he let me, let me do it. It's gonna be some grown pains on his ass, but that's... And then we actually, we have a very quick clip of Kurt Cameron going, talking about how he used to be a his words devout atheist went to not church every single Sunday, damn it. And Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:25:31 He's so hard. And then Ray Comfort dives into his banana bed and tells us how bananas won't squirt in your face. And I'm like, yeah, that's what they always say. This is like the ninth banana man video. We've seen, we're like five minutes into the movie now. This is like nine of these things. It's like his bar mitzvah video. We're just like, so dumb.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah, usually they get the chronology better in those ones, but yeah. And again, he couldn't get the four-way tear in this TV. This is cut. This was made for TV. He couldn't get one take where he tore a banana four ways in four way tear. No TV. He could this is cut. This was made for TV. He couldn't get one take where he tore a banana four ways in four or just like said three perforations for a change. Yeah. But I'm sorry, speaking of bad chronology, we were just in 2001. We have the they keeps coming up and telling us what year we're in. Out of 2001, he says and then three years later, and the
Starting point is 00:26:25 fucking thing comes up and says 2006. Is this a Trinity thing? Yeah. Anyway, yeah, he says three years later after 2001, it was 2006. And by then his TV show was airing in 170 countries. His award winning award winning show Was renewed for a third season by ourselves. What? Yeah. Say by yourselves. After seven years after seven years, they got to their third season. And do you would you like to know who gave them that award? It was it. It was it. It was them. It was. It's like best Christian podcast with a child
Starting point is 00:27:07 actor from the 80s in the US and in a zealot from New Zealand. There's a lot of ridiculous stuff. There you go. And the only reason he's talking about this show is so he can show us some awesome clips of him and Kirk playing dress up. Right. I totally get it. I'm 100% and just like, look how much fun it was. We made movies and we played care boys. We rented a tank. Well, a guy we knew owned a tank. And he said a lot of stuff about what was a world war to paraphernalia in his garage. It was weird. There's a sitting kept asking if I was an octa-room. And at this point, he's just like trying to describe how he's been crushing it. You know, he's got a TV show. Everything's going great. And they show his Kirk Cameron walking out on a stage
Starting point is 00:28:03 at a literally empty concert hall. Yeah, they show us. They show us nobody in any seat and Kirk Cameron going out there like he's the MC of the Oscars. Nothing happens. Empty. So yeah, so things are humming along, but then Ray learned that his banana video was all over the internet and someone had cut out the Coke can part that gave us all the
Starting point is 00:28:26 context, not only that, but they also added a thing about how wild bananas are inedible and all the stuff that Ray was attributing to God was actually the byproduct of selectively breeding an inedible fruit until it was perfect for humans the way God would have started it off if he existed. Yeah. Again, how the fuck would anything with a soda can be in there as context fix that? Like, all right, so I'm getting railed by this banana. Let me finish. Also a can of Coke.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Does this make sense now? No, I'm a Christian now. Right. But yeah, he talks about the evolution of the banana thing too, which is great because yeah, like you said, they didn't start that shape. He claims they evolved to fit the human hand. Is that how that happened? No, I think that I don't think that was part of the plan. Bananas had a meeting like, all right, how do we get more human to eat us?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Or jerk us off or insert us in there? Yeah, right, right, right, exactly. We're just, what fits into all the holes? What if we don't taste like the dying elderly? Shut up, Frank, we're going with handshaped. Bananas are fucking awesome, fuck you. The only fricking elderly of us. Yeah, well, that's that too. That too. I can go for some. L. L. L. L. L.
Starting point is 00:29:45 L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L.
Starting point is 00:29:53 L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L.
Starting point is 00:30:01 L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. It's not it's Richard. It's not that we don't love you. It's that we're done with you. It's you've served your purpose. I mean, honestly, Dawkins probably would generally agree might mean not about himself, but in principle, I feel like you'd agree with me there. So yeah, just throwing rocks at Dawkins. Get at it. And to show you how he really has his finger to the pulse of the atheist movement.
Starting point is 00:30:26 He also points out that respected atheist, PZ Myers also made fun of remember, remember, remember PZ Myers, we're friends on Facebook, even Hemant made fun of him and he's the friendly atheist. Yeah, you got to come for a hemant. You come for a hemant that lovely, lovely math teacher, which is the only reason most of the atheists show's exist. And you and he's the one who picked on you. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Exactly. You're so fucking stupid. You brought Hammond's means. I know. You know, who else made fun of me? The guy with friendly in his name. I want to know the problem. Sorry, moment of clarity, need to scream, need to scream.
Starting point is 00:31:09 He goes, but then something strange happened. Atheist weren't afraid of me anymore. And I'm like, were we afraid of you before? Was that the problem you were having? It's the, he's confused himself so many times in this movie. This is one of the best moments. He's like, almost overnight, I became the celebrity idiot poster boy for atheism. Yep.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Seen. Yes. Yeah. He's like, all the A. I thought I had a follow up today. Did you know? No, he didn't. Easy.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Didn't we write another? No. Okay. All right. Yeah. He's like, all the atheists realize that they could have me on their podcast and I was in no danger of making a religion look good ever. So they invited me on their shows. I win. I'm also says, by the way, he also says that when atheist review his movies, they get way more views.
Starting point is 00:31:57 No, Ray, we don't. It's we do it anyway. We do it out of hate, but, but no, this is going to be the same. Well, and if we did, you got us a bunch of views. So, yeah, right, much appreciated. So, you know, he shows all of these, you know, atheists on YouTube that are like, you know, reading his stupid books and talking about a stupid video. So he's like, see publicity. It's clear. No such thing as bad publicity.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yeah, he goes to one point. He's like, I was even on real TV at one point, which really kind of undercuts his I had a TV showing 170 countries. In New Zealand, right? It wasn't even real TV. It was an Auckland local access. Maybe heard of it. It's an Auckland.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Later on, I'm going to admit that I begged them not to bring up the banana thing as a full grown adult. I really wish she had shown us. He says at one point, this is an actual life from the movie. He goes, it was as though God gave me a supernatural cloak of humiliation. And I'm like, or you were just regular humiliated, I guess. But yes, one of those two things happened.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You were supernaturally humiliated or you were just regular humiliated. Me and Ray, we're in the same cloak. I get it, buddy. Yeah. We're winners. Taken the world one, Daisy Duke outfitted at times. His 80s tennis outfit was my favorite. Oh, yeah. Oh, the greatest. And I love to he's got like this. I guess the whole movie is kind of
Starting point is 00:33:34 a montage of him getting progressively slightly less humiliated in debates, right? Then the first one, because this is the where we go to the thing where he debated thunderfoot and didn't quite get as humiliated as one would expect talking to any human being that can string words together correctly. Nope. So now it's 2007 because the chronology of this thing is every kind of fucked was was it just 2009? A second.
Starting point is 00:34:01 It was it was we've moved that's that, yeah, we moved back nine years to 2007. So, yeah, so he was still screaming in people at public, but he got really good at it. See, the way they started their street preaching was with an intelligence test. Which we failed by not knowing the difference between intelligence and trivia. We don't know what those two words mean. Right. Well, the ementeter dot all street preaching begins by failing an intelligence test. Yes. Yes. That's a prerequisite, sir.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And it's not even trivia. No. Those third grade riddles. Like when I started to hear them, I was like, oh my god, you remember this. Yeah. No, don't drink milk. It's just that that rhymed with all the other stuff. You said I asked you to say that word. So you didn't you answered quickly.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Yeah. The Brinkman's an asshole. Whatever. Exactly. Thank you. His riddle was not a riddle. Riddle. All right. So then you disagree.
Starting point is 00:34:59 This is a bend diagram. So this is where he introduces us to Jurgen, whose story we will follow throughout the movie. Jürgen is an atheist who he annoyed once with a camera. Right. And like so many of Ray's atheists, you can't tell who's out crazy and who, because Jürgen rides around the California beaches just in a man's saddle, right? Yelling angry answers to his third grade riddles at Ray Comfort and Ray's talking to him and he's like, I don't believe in Gordon. I like to ride around in my banana hammock and they just raise like a good person.
Starting point is 00:35:36 And he's like, I am hats every day. And it's just they're meant for each other. It's great. He found a friend. And yes, by the way, we're at 18 minutes 27 seconds when we get the first, are you a good person? Stekk. Oh, I was so mad at this point, because I was like, fuck, that's 47 more minutes of, are you a good person? He went right to it already. Yeah. And like the movie has 18 minutes of new material Minus the 17 minutes of banana man clips that was a one minute. He made a one minute of new material movie
Starting point is 00:36:10 That's what I'm thinking at this point. It's amazing how much mileage he's gotten out of just rearranging the clips he already has Yeah, and by the way, I want to point out that he puts your again to his you know Are you a good person? Test and your gun whips his ass He sure does you know because he's like, you know, well are you a good person? Test and you're gonna whip his ass. He sure does. You know, because he's like, you know, well, are you a good person? He's like, yeah, I'm a good person. He's like, well, have you ever lied or stolen anything?
Starting point is 00:36:33 He's like, yes, like every other living human I've done that. And he's like, well, doesn't that make you a moral? He's like, no, because then everyone would be immoral and that word would cease to have meaning. I'm like, why are you keeping this in, right? It's because this guy's dead, just just spoiler alert. It's because this guy's dead. And that was God's revenge on him for beating Ray in this argument. Morgan failed the how many clothes should a man of his age wear test, but he did pass Ray's challenge. Yes, exactly. All right. So now out for poll of whatever it was, we were just talking about fuck Charles Darwin.
Starting point is 00:37:09 If atheism was a religion, no, Charles Darwin would be our prophet. Oh, this is fun. If arguing about coupons was a religion, Sarah Palin would be its prophet. Sarah Palin would be its profit. Everybody's mom and dad is the Messiah because we don't believe in Santa Claus. You're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Oh, but this, I had a realization during this movie that I think meeting Ray, I might be the one who changes a matheist, right? He'd be like, don't you care about evolution? I'd be like, I have no idea how those fucking monkeys work and he'd be like, don't you care about evolution? I'd be like, I have no idea how those fucking monkeys work. And he'd be like, everything's created. And I'd be like, look at what my body looks like. And I'd be like, fuck, man, you want to go have some gay sex? And I'd
Starting point is 00:37:52 be like, no, but I like where your eyes are at. Come on, Ram. Let's go make a long order at Starbucks. All right. So this is the moment we're we're we're introducing the time that Ray decided to write a new intro to on the origin of species since he was a way better a biologist than that monkey fucker Darwin was ever gonna be. Oh, and he he so doesn't know how this worked out for him. He was like, yeah me out, great prank. I take a really seminal science work and on our road, nah, ah, in the front camera. And then I distributed it to hundreds and hundreds of people. And it was such a bad idea
Starting point is 00:38:37 that even the mainstream media was covering what utter and complete bullshit it was. Yeah, sure. I'll let the book have it. 100% truth, but I put my 1% of bullshit right there at the front. And yeah, I'm sorry. Do you know anyone who doesn't read the introduction to a book? Do you say everyone? Literally everyone.
Starting point is 00:38:59 No, not everyone. But I've still got to point this out to because there's a book that goes with his movie that he was giving away at the screening. And I got a copy of it at American Atheist convention. I didn't have it all day. It was Andrew's copy. So I could only read it for an hour. That was pretty much enough to finish it.
Starting point is 00:39:17 But he he mentions at this point that when he had this idea to write this intro to on the origin of species, he'd never read the fucking book. He'd been arguing against evolution for 20 years. You've got according to his own movie for 20 years he'd been arguing against evolution. He'd never bothered to read the book. And my favorite moment in that book is when he starts going it was fucking boring. was fucking boring. That was his assessment of the origin of species, a lot of big-ass words and stuff, not pictures. And you know what, Ray, you're listening, and I know you are. You and me hit the exact same response to all the origin of the species. Bunch of smart atheists were like, you should read this. And I was, boo nerds, you and me, Ray, one of us is switching sides, my into this episode, buddy, and it's not going to be me.
Starting point is 00:40:11 So raise a millionaire, buddy. Okay, maybe it's me. Yeah, right, right. There you go. Yeah, just want to be as relevant as you could be a fool. All right. So yeah. So their literal idea was to trick people into thinking they were reading someone else's book and throwing their anti-evolution bullshit at that was there. It would be like me putting fucking dieters like slapping a Ray Comfort
Starting point is 00:40:38 cover over diatribes and selling that to. Except Andrew won't let me do that because origins isn't public domain and Ray Comfort shit essence. So yet. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But three years later. Yeah, exactly. So, but little did he know though, um, he was by doing this, he was in his own words, blaspheming atheism's sacred writing. So much projection here. He's like, and then my life was in danger because I had blasphemed this group that, you know, they, I mean, like if they had murdered me, I would have understood at that point because it's amazing. He understands so little. It's great. Also, point that he makes in the book and not in the movie here. In the book, he says that during this point, he says, like, I figured no one would have a problem with that.
Starting point is 00:41:32 After all, I couldn't think of anyone who had an issue with books, except for, you know, maybe the Nazis in 1930s, Germany. That's literally what he says. I'm like, oh, wow, I've only I could find some Christian who was against Harry Potter or something this week. Yeah, right. In Poland. So anyway, so a bunch of atheists were going to go to the college store. He's going to give this shit out, gather them up themselves and, you know, whatever wiped their asses with raise introduction. But Damien, if they didn't outwit them by going the day early to give away their books.
Starting point is 00:42:08 You remember Pearl Harbor? We're basically the Pearl Harbor Christianity genius heroes. You're welcome. So yeah, exactly. And he's like, you know, we gave away 170,000 books in just one day and that total would eventually reach 200,000. So I'm like, so wait a minute, wait a minute, how many days was that? Because it seems like, seems like you're a German school that just ended your lesson on World War II after France surrendered, right? Wait, I feel like there's more to this story anyway. Yeah. Nailed it, though. UCLA, that is a Christian college now. Yeah, pitch your ass. Yeah. California, no longer
Starting point is 00:42:55 has any atheists. So it's amazing. No more secularism in all of California. All right. I'm going to check out this long boring scientific tome from the 1300s. But first, 1300s. I know nothing about that book. Some birds or something. There were birds. Yeah, there were some birds nailed it. I'm the king of atheism. There you go.
Starting point is 00:43:16 All right. So now we we pleasure away into something about pen Gillette talking about being given a Bible and being the best. Okay, so basically here's what I took away from Pendulette story. He basically went out one day and he says, Hey, this guy gave me a Bible after his show the other day. And he wasn't a complete asshole. Unlike everyone who's ever given me a Bible before.
Starting point is 00:43:37 If Christians were like that, I probably wouldn't hate them. Bye. Right. Which Christians took to mean Christians who give atheist Bibles are the best. Yep, that's just how we're in comfort to get yeah. To the extent that Penn took down that video and put up a new video being like, come on guys, I just meant
Starting point is 00:43:57 don't tell me I'm going to burn and hell while I'm shaking hands in the Monte Carlo. I regret everything. I regret it all so much. But and I think this is actually one of the arguments that Ray is trying to make in the movie is that like Christians are just trying to tackle you out of the way of a truck, right? Well, that's what coming. And that's visible truck. Well, yeah, exactly. Well, but that's what Penn says, right?
Starting point is 00:44:23 He says, Hey, look, I get it, right? If you actually believe people are going to hell, you should be telling them about having if I knew that you were about to get hit by a truck and you didn't believe that the truck was coming at a certain point, I just tackle your ass and get you out of the way of the truck. And then Ray clings to that and he's like, see, I'm just tackling people out of the way of an invisible truck. Yeah, but Ray, that's not quite how it's working out. Watch here! A truck! Ow!
Starting point is 00:44:51 Zad your life! No, no you didn't. You, you, you broke into my home. You screamed, watch out a truck and you tackled me. That's because there is a truck about to run over you. No, there's not. Hey Noah, what's going on? Not much, Heath, this dude just tackled me from because he was about to be hit by a truck. In our living room?
Starting point is 00:45:17 Yes. Yes he was. No, no, he was not. Exactly, no, I wasn't. And I got my funny bone on the table. Oh, that's the worst. Yeah. Gentlemen, gentlemen, don't you see what made us is that our thought you were going to be hit by a truck.
Starting point is 00:45:34 And what kind of person would I be if I let you die under a truck driven by a magic wizard who created the universe knows everything you think and do and wants to hit you with a truck for the way he created you You'd be a reasonable person, dude Nobody's mad at you for trying to save people They're mad at you because you're not listening. We're in a living room. There's no truck The scientific consensus says there's no truck not that you should eat that So when you ignore all that and tackle Noah anyway, all you're doing is hurting people.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Especially their funny bone. Exactly. So what do you want me to do? Just let people get hit by my wizard truck. No, no, Ray, what we want you to do is listen. You're supposed to be open to evidence. You're supposed to see the very real harm you're doing with your belief in the wizard truck and you're supposed to change your goddamn mind when you know that you're wrong because you know damn well at this point that there's no fucking truck. Oh. Here's your arm. It's still all weird and tingly. Oh, that's the worst. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:46:43 You're the worst. I hate you. I am Yes, what's the other trick? Nope Yeah, right, but okay, but see that's the thing what Penn is saying here is that like hey if Christianity was real Christians wouldn't be assholes and that's true, right? That's true. The problem here is that the first clause is not met and thus your assholes to which Ray responds. Yes, it is. No, I'm like the guy in the trolley dilemma who re-rast the train to kill the fat guy, but then there wasn't a train. Okay. I just pushed a fat guy off and overpassed on the train track and killed him.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I just murdered. Did I? I'm constantly, I'm constantly admitting that I don't know that the train exists and I'm trying to pretend it's like a 50-50 thing, but I definitely know that I pushed that guy off the overpass under the train track, killed him. Okay, but I did reroute a train, but I reroute it. I charged millions of gay people on another track. Oh, no, no, that's worse.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Worse. I'm gonna get it. Come back to me. Yeah, right. Well, yeah, it would know we will. That's sort of the chronology of the movie. Because now it's 2011, and he's facing off with thunderfoot for a second time.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Remember from the other time he did this, yeah, they did it again, but this time in a parking lot next to a busy road. Yeah, the like 16 year old manager of a dollar general has to walk out into this parking lot and be like, you're not allowed to do that in a good place. We didn't give you the end look. Right, so do that, I haven't seen this video, but just based on the clips that Ray shows, it's just him be raiding a guy trying to give him an honest answer.
Starting point is 00:48:33 All right, that's what he shows us is him saying something that, you know, he's trying to get into, what he's trying to do is he's trying to trick Thunderfoot into the whole like absolute morality trap, right? And that works for Christians if they don't let you give a new on st answer to anything, right? Right. If they, for instance, can edit the words you said, right? It just leave you going, okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Well, here's the problem with what you're saying. Edit, right after you say, and then what they have is you go in like, so you're telling me, rape isn't wrong and you go and know that, okay. what I'm saying is and then it cuts off, right? That's what Ray gives us here. Oh, yeah. One point he's like, so was the Holocaust wrong? Yeah. That's a tough one. Yeah. Come on. You think, did he really say that to Jesus Christ? Yeah. And then Eli's profession gets a little more representation. I'm sure Dean Dill, you're proud of Dill. No.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Okay, move background. Dean Dill is a brilliant, truly brilliant magician. One of the most gifted performers, but he loves Jesus so much. And he has, you get Dean Dildan magic at least once. It is a passage through fire to sit down with magician Dean Dildan and be like, oh, man, I got to tell you, I think you're so amazing in this. And him just being like, I got to tell you that Jesus is both a love and below us.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And you'd be like, I would like to not do magic anymore, please. I would like to quit. If I stopped doing magic right now, can we not have this conversation? I love to watch it how baffled Kurt Cameron was by his coin trick. Like by a coin trick I can do. It wasn't even like that. Like that, that's one of the amazing things about knowing magic is watching which magic trick they decide to use on the video going like, okay, that was the setup though for the
Starting point is 00:50:24 good trick I did. But yeah, so but Kirk Kerr. Kirk Kerr. It's a mix. Deen Dill like takes a quarter from behind Kirk's ear and he's like, he's a butter. He's a butter. He's a butter. He's a butter.
Starting point is 00:50:36 He's a butter. That's my game money. Also, little behind the scenes on this drama here, not to tell any stories at a school But basically Dean loves Jesus He went to go perform for Ray because Ray loves Jesus too and then Dean was like, hey, I know Penn I'll have Penn be your best friend. He'll come on your show. You'll have a slumber party and Penn was like no Dean No, I won't and Dean was like, please I used to be good at magic. And then there was an incident which no one talks about. And now I love Jesus. Oh, like a so grateful for it's like you like pen Gillette.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Well, I saw this thing on the internet where he said people who believe and know is art is stupid. You believe and know is art. Like he's that fucking middle school kid that wants to see someone else get in a fight. He's that kid. That's great. Shanting fight next to him. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:29 But, oh, he said that he sounded really sick. Yeah. Yes. Right. So Dean gives Ray the like info at penanteller.com email address that because they're close friends and Ray emails. And these are the exact words from Ray's email. He says, I would crawl over broken glass for 10 miles to interview Penn, Gillette and Penn, if you're listening, please come on, man, make that happen.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Watch him walk the 10 miles and then just walk the fuck away. Or just give him the giving the okay four questions. I'm answering them with yeses and notes. Oh, don't do me look Larry did. Don't do me look Larry did pin. Pin. Yeah, but I love that this whole scene is like, and my buddy Dean Dill was going to hook me up with Ben, but then it didn't, didn't work out very well.
Starting point is 00:52:28 So never mind. God clearly doesn't want me to speak with pen Gillette unless, wait for it. Well wait several scenes for it. Maybe you'll see. Yeah, maybe you won't, but you, we, we, you'll understand. Okay. Maybe you won't but you do we you will understand okay, there's this eighth grade dance Was mad at Aaron who was dating her at the time and so she danced with me to make him jealous Do I have real names?
Starting point is 00:53:01 Okay, if you could beat out that real last name for those real people who still exist. I knew that. And look what's amazing is that before you even said it, I'm like, I don't have to be about this fucking name, sorry. I forget everyone, not everyone's in my head. No. All right, so now it's September of 2011. And down three years later, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:24 And rate comfort has just released his video where pro abortion is switched to anti abortionists in just seconds. Oh, and I have watched 180. I've been saving it for like when one of our dogs or wives dies. Spoiler alert, not what happens in that movie. He doesn't turn like a room full of a thousand atheists into pro life in 60 seconds. Like he's fucking Bobby Fisher just throwing baby parts of people. Yeah, I've seen him switch atheists in seconds. So I'm guessing no, but yeah, but really honestly, basically, this is just an ad for it. Like, this would be like like if, if I just cut in to say, why this was like that humorous skit we did on citation needed episode 64 and played two clips. Yeah. You know, this is funny, but it'll never be as funny as our patron only review of Batman
Starting point is 00:54:15 versus Superman. Yeah. But, but anyway, so he shows how like he talks about how he made this video and he saved all of these unborn babies lives and he can show you pictures of babies to show you what that would look like. And then he goes and Richard Dawkins once tweeted and as soon as he said that I tend to up, you know, I just got my ass hold just closed. And he's like, any fetus, this is the quote of Richard Dawkins tweet here. He says any fetus is less human than an adult pig. And I'm like, oh, I could have been a hell of a lot worse.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Okay. Yes, I agree with that. Absolutely. Yup, that's the only tweet Richard ever said. Right. This is one experiment. Oh, you got to. We got us.
Starting point is 00:55:00 And then we learn that Ray Comfort meant to spell the word, and then we learn that Ray Comfort meant to spell thoughts THORTS when he spelled it THORTS. He meant to do that, guys. From now forward, this movie will just do valve into a series of ever more of the Danzig. Where's it going? Come on, who doesn't rot the word forts? T-H-O-R-T-S. Right, at least when Keith and Noah pointed out I just copped to it, man, don't.
Starting point is 00:55:35 It's like, he says, it's like when he's texting and he shortens it. I've never been like, thoughts. Jesus, honestly, I do not have time for this. Maybe I throw in an R instead of that. Yes, I'll do it. Apparently he sent this video through three intermediaries. He sends a copy of his video to Richard Dawkins and he spells out on the front. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Starting point is 00:56:05 And then he goes, he has a whole segment of the video, or he's like, and that Dawkins asshole assumed that I meant I was stupid. I know how to spell thoughts. I'm not gonna tell you now, right now, because we all obviously know how it's really spelled without the first untesting year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:24 But anyway, so then after it being intentionally baited by that misspelling, Richard Dawkins went out and promoted his video about abortion being wrong and all the atheists stopped getting abortions. Yep. And now three years later, it's 2012 and we're having pizza with atheists apparently. Rayson Ray. God, this is just, this is just like, it's like free association writing, but a movie. But this scene is so great because it is the only time Ray has been the only one in the room who doesn't understand he's losing. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:00 This isn't one of his weird one on one interviews. This is a whole room of very nice, very people waiting for two little cesar's pizza is going okay Ray why don't we all define terms and him being like no thank you anyway you would kill baby hit why he comes up and he's like and so many of these atheists put this all on youtube and he didn't even edit out my answers. They were so much nicer to me than I am to them. Like, as he's saying that, as he's saying how nice it was of them to like not edit out all the stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:36 He says he's showing us audio list video of them asking questions into a microphone, right? Yep. So yeah, but he does, he does include one question that an atheist asked him, he flubs it, he's too dumb to know that he flubbed it and we move on. Yep. And we move on to actually what I think might be my favorite ever movie of race, which was like evolution versus science.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I forget what it's called, but I've seen it. And it is he pretended to be a documentary filmmaker. And so he found a bunch of real scientists and teachers and stuff and tried to like trick him into admitting there's no evidence for evolution. But what it actually is is it's a series of videos of people realizing that Ray is a crazy person and that is wonderful right because they all start out being like, hi, I am Heinrich von Stufehl. I am headed biology at the University of Blabody Blue and by the end of it, they're like, right, right. Yeah, no rocks can't talk.
Starting point is 00:58:37 That's true. That is true. Would you look at the time? It's not a big block. I'm not saying that it does squirt in your face I'm just asking why you keep bringing that up I don't yeah yeah that's the end of your thought sorry sorry why goes he's like none of these biology professors could provide any evidence for evolution
Starting point is 00:59:01 they could only provide evidence for speciation and adaptation. Um, which when combined, our evolution, show me magneto and vision and ultron are shut up. They won't do it. They won't show me. Ten of monkey into a guy. People showed me hydrogen combined with oxygen and oxygen combined with hydrogen, but there was no water anywhere. What the fuck do you want? And it's like, well, birds are still birds and dogs are still dogs. So I'm done, but like, dude, we're not amoebas. Like that's what you're talking about. There's no terranactyls. Even goes on at one point to say bacteria are still bacteria, right?
Starting point is 00:59:48 So like the category gets as big as he needs it to be. He's like evolution would require a change in kind. Now that's not a scientific word. He will offer no definition of it. And no scientist could overcome his ephemeral hurdle because of that. But you got to feel bad for Ray, right? Because as recently as like what, 60, 80 years ago, someone couldn't be like, oh yeah, do you want to watch adaptation on video?
Starting point is 01:00:15 I have a little video right here on my phone. Do you want to see the challenge of 70 years ago? Just absolutely with your own eyes right now. And so he's got to be like tenet duck into a hit. Right. Hey, look, here's a picture of Thomas Smith. I want you to stand next to it and just kind of curl your shoulders over a little bit. There you go. And stride it out. Yeah. You see, you see what we're doing? I clashed my eyes. So I'm winning. it out. Yeah, you see, you see what we're doing? I clashed my eyes. So I'm winning. Why doesn't that guy have any feet? So a few months later, he released his deceptively edited video and the deceptively edited people were furious for some reason. Why? Oh, this is when he shows
Starting point is 01:01:00 Jacqueline Glenn, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Jacklyn is like the park here. Yeah. Right. Just one after the other of the most respected voices in A.C. So yeah. I love though that he had to blur out Jacklyn Glenn's entire like neckline area, like basically you can chin down to a waist because his viewers were freaking out that there was a little bit too scoopy of a neckline on her shirt that did not show her breasts by the way, just
Starting point is 01:01:31 to be clear. No. And speaking of Hawks, now we're going to talk about the time he got mad because someone called him a bibliophile. Not just someone, Leoni, we know Leoni. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, he says every time you make a small mistake, like going out in public, getting upset by an unfamiliar word, not looking the word up and assuming that it's a portmanteau of Bible and pedophile. That is a small mistake. It raised my, I guess comparatively, right? It is mistakes. He made an entire section of this movie about how he got laughed at for
Starting point is 01:02:18 thinking there was an existing single word for biblical pedophile. Other than priests. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah. Even gives a little rebus puzzle. It shows a picture of Bible plus pedophile. Oh my God, so much fun. And he goes in the middle of this. He's like, and then suddenly all the atheists wanted to just pretend they knew what bibliophile
Starting point is 01:02:40 man, like everybody knows that's the, that is probably the crowning moment of this movie where you're like they all knew what Biblia file means all right pop quiz what is what is I'm not saying that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing that's not the only thing this up. Ray, you are forcing yourself into an intellectual debate. Right. If Richard Dawkins was just following you around Walmart and making fun of your vocabulary and your spelling skills, keep the asshole. But you are literally elbowing your way into our table without an invitation and demanding to be heard without like reading the main book that you're talking about or knowing how thought is spelled. Or what bibliophile means? Yeah. Yeah, Dawkins isn't following around being like,
Starting point is 01:03:53 hey, are you an illiterate person? Or do you consider yourself an illiterate person? I'm a stranger. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, all. You could end it all, Ray. Just go back. The Christians, they'll be laughing at your great banana bits. I'll be out of material, off to work on the other million people just like you. Yeah, we all win for everybody. You want to put your dick in this eight year old Bible, huh?
Starting point is 01:04:20 A bibliophile? Idiot. All right, but Ray Manageke was profiling pretty down on himself, but he managed to control himself with the fact that this is pretty much exactly Like the Christians that were fed to the lions and the Colosseum Ray, I've got some bad news for when you meet the other Christian martyrs Ray Ray Com, it's me, God." ["Well, the old Marty God, our new hours were all along." ["That's right, Ray.
Starting point is 01:04:56 You were welcome to the heaven of Christian martyrs." ["Well, this is justsevious." [" I was burned at the stake for my beliefs and Too long I Spent 20 years in a Chinese prison for my faith in Christ weird I feel like you would have an accent if you spent if you were in a Chinese prison I agree you should have an eight you like it out of the sketch. I'm a cactus in the sketch You can have sketch you. You like it out of the sketch. I'm a cactus in the sketch. You can have sketch. You do. You do it.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Anyway, anyway, Ray, why don't you tell him what you went through? Yeah, yeah. Um, I, I have people make fun of me on the internet. Oh, you're done? People made fun of you on the internet. That's it. Yeah. Oh, no, no, I get it. You mean there was like a massive propaganda movement
Starting point is 01:05:49 against people who called for your death or not? No, no, no, just like when I would say silly things, people would point at it and laugh at me. When you said silly things, they'd do that. Yeah, just when I said silly things. And because of this, you were desperately poor or like, you couldn't find work, you had no peace in your life. Not my organization actually took in several million dollars a year and paid me a publicly declared salary of over a hundred thousand dollars. And that's just in 2017.
Starting point is 01:06:22 So you, you were a millionaire. And we probably my finances weren't disclosed because you know, no taxes, but based on the movies and my books, it's fairly reasonable to assume. Sorry, sorry, I just want to be clear. You were a millionaire who didn't pay taxes. Yeah. And who sometimes would have people make fun of you when you said stupid stuff. That's the tragedy you're describing. Give it a, did I mention I was burned at the stake with fire? What about this? Are you not getting it? Don't don't don't listen to him, Ray. I get it. Thank you, Mr. God. Call me Donnie. It was fucking hot. Am I crazy? Am I the crazy one?
Starting point is 01:07:07 People are me not here, I know. I know. I poke. All right well I guess there's no real way to argue this is the end of act 2 but fuck it we're taking a break anyway I'm gonna give the last half the far hard sell though Are you a good person? What if you're wrong? What's sound of these keys make? Find out the answers to these questions and more when we return for the banana test a conclusion of the fool East hey doc how's it going? Not bad not bad. How's your mom and dad? They're good. They're good. Thanks for asking
Starting point is 01:07:44 Ah glad to hear it now what brings you in today? Uh, right. So, you know, how like sometimes you're gonna do it up and do the, do the deed. And it's early. What? Okay. Uh, before you were planning baseball doesn't sometimes like during the stuff. I have no idea what you mean, just to be super clear. I don't know what you're talking about. Really? As this ever happened to you, up to 39% of men experience premature ejaculation, but too few of them know that there may be help. Like when you want to, but, squans, you know, there's a race thing. We're doing a race thing now.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Nope. What? No. Satchelina has been proven to help some people with premature ejaculation, and four hymns can connect you with a doctor who can evaluate and help identify the right treatment for you and avoid whatever this is Okay, so you know you're gonna have a good time One of those moments
Starting point is 01:08:58 But it ends too fast. Oh Like a day at the carnival. That's what you're saying. With four hymns, you can skip the awkward doctor's visits and get product shipped right to your door. And right now our listeners get a special offer. You can get started for just $10. Just go to four hymns.com slash movies to get started. That's F-O-R-H-I-M-S dot com slash movies. See website for full details and safety information because you should have the conversation, but there's gotta be an easier way. Okay, so you see my hands right now. You see this motion,
Starting point is 01:09:30 I'm doing. You're gonna, you're gonna propose. You're proposing to me. Okay, just never mind. No. I will not marry you. That's true. I'm asking. From the makers of the fool. Excuse me, can I use your bathroom? No, it's customer's only. Comes another heartwarming tale hidden in heartbreak. I totally understand that, but this is really an emergency and I see. Customers only see this. Oh, really? This summer full on shitting myself in that bodega. Hey, you'll always remember me, right? Yup. Yup, for the rest of my life, lovely.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Yeah. Can I use the bathroom now? No. Huh! Yup. Finish it again. And we're back for more of this shit. We're going to rejoin Ray three years later in July of 2013, 20, 99. See, we're so young. The world with a news set of eyes. See, he was pretty sure this whole time that people have been
Starting point is 01:10:45 laughing with him, but it turned out that wasn't the case. Yeah, I was a giant embarrassment and anew it. Oh, God, this is a weird section from a movie. He's just, he's just sitals up to Ray. Oh, I'm lonely. You want to take a, you want to take a long pause together on a recorded medium? I do. I do. Let's do it. Hey, you have any sneakers that say wild card? I do. Did anyone notice them? Nothing. Do I hurt myself stretching my leg on the table at a restaurant?
Starting point is 01:11:20 But I do have sneakers that say wild card very suddenly on the back. They're nice. Converse. Cool that say wild card very suddenly on the back. They're nice converse cool custom wild card doing great That's usually a good sign that you are doing great when you have the personalized personality trait that you're desperate to have other than tall. I'm sorry. Maybe you heard a little person named Michael Jordan He had sneakers. I am in the US tall bald Dave Nike. So. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:50 But then Ray got some wisdom from a guy in a trucker hat. This is Scotty who reminded Ray that God loves humiliating his best and most dedicated servants. And Scotty was right, darn it. Ray's like, yeah, atheists, they made fun of me some more. They said I'm like a train wreck waiting to happen. They can't look away. No, that's, that's just looking at a train, man. That's just staring at trains. They didn't get that. They said they wanted to run a train on me. I'm pretty sure I know what they mean. What about a bibliophile? No,
Starting point is 01:12:33 no, you're not. And speaking of wanting to run a train on them, this is where he introduces David Silverman to the show. He says, even David Silverman, the president of American atheists at the time, would have lunch with me. Well, and again, this is so sad because Ray's like, we had a lovely lunch several times throughout this movie, and it's like, yeah, man, literally everyone in atheism but us would have a lovely lunch with you. Yeah. Literally everyone, but you're talking to the only three people who would wreck that
Starting point is 01:13:03 lunch by being like, I talked to the tablecloth into my underwear. I ordered four steaks. Fuck you, Ray. I'll eat your eyes out of your skull. What? If you want to make a movie, have lunch with us. We won't wreck it. I just want to clear something up.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Why would ordering four steaks ruin that lunch? Good, weird. All right. So now we're back to street preaching. four stakes ruined that. That's good. Weird. All right. So now we're back to street preaching. He was, this is such a weird little fucking bit that he cuts into. This is the part with Ken. The, okay.
Starting point is 01:13:34 And I love Ken is the hero of this goddamn film. So Ken is a guy, he used to go out and do street preaching on Huntington Beach. And the way you would draw a crowd is to give out a dollar for trivia questions, right? You answer a trivia question, frankly, you get a dollar. So there was an atheist that would come up and just answer all his trivia questions and take all his money. The best. But what that means is, Ray Comfort could only think of like 10 trivia questions ever in the year in the history.
Starting point is 01:14:04 You just had that year through. like 10 trivia questions ever in the year. Yes, yes. In the history. You just had that year through. Ken kept showing up and he always knew the answers because I asked the same questions because there's only 10 trivia questions and it's bullshit. I had to keep giving him down. It's trep, trep, trep, and a vicious cycle. But it's not all doom and gloom for Ray because Ken, Ken got his, he assigned tips slightly, lightly blue onto the edge of his shirt. And I wanted the whole movie to grind to a halt and for Ray to just be like, how come the
Starting point is 01:14:32 whole internet didn't call Ken Mr. Sine and make a bunch of YouTube videos, right? I got hit by a sign and son face. I tweeted it at Richard Dawkins, Ricky Gervais, nobody retweeted it. Just sat there. I'm gonna inform the morning I deleted it. Sign a file. Why don't you fuck a kid on a sign? Win. Yeah, that's the whole point of this. They show a video of Ken coming up to get his dollar again. And some win blows. You write that in the cheap ass little cardboard sign they have on an easel blows over and hits Ken on the shoulder and Ray apparently thinks this is video evidence that God reached down and you know, didn't really want to give Ken a what for but wanted to let him know. Amen.
Starting point is 01:15:19 I could though. I could smack you around and watching Ray do a one man. Oh, it comes back on camera and black face. What? No, Ray, too fast. Don't do the super hot fire. You wouldn't do that. Don't try to superman me. All right. So now it's spring of 2015 and raise scrappy little ministries really taken off hell even Biker lumberjack son of gluing bullies and having an hour now Meir three years later
Starting point is 01:15:54 What the fuck was this guy the Mohawk bearded guy oh bird guy. Yeah. No, no, no, no beard guy Yeah, beard guy before bird guy the guy who is eating his own beard for 20 minutes. He's the longest part of the movie. Is this crazy dwarven soldier just talking forever and literally eating his beard. Like, I get it. Like, you get a little snacky sometimes, but like, you know, I don't get put movies while I'm doing this. I love that like crazy, ranting guy on the street can just
Starting point is 01:16:26 immediately fill in as the voice of reason in a ray comfort movie with no notice. Right. Cause this is just ranting crazy drunken drug to guy saying words into the camera and Ray nodding along going, ah, this guy knows this shit, huh? Look at his, look his mohawk.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Cause you obviously know. So you're the forge axes. That's right. And there's a God, right? Yep, we agree. We're both not crazy. Yep, and there's a pirate there with a bird that bites Ray Comfort. The bird biting Ray Comfort is fucking amazing.
Starting point is 01:17:01 I was so goddamn happy when this happened. Because the pirate shows up and raised like like I'm gonna talk to this pirate He has a parrot on his shoulder, and I was like, oh my god, please get attacked by the parrot Amazing it bites him right on the hand and raised like Hey, Ray that's so much worse than getting hit with a sign I guess if there really was a deity behind all of it. It's a bird god and he hates you Oh, and what's amazing is you get to see Ray drop character for a second when he gets bit. Yeah He stops being all like oh leave me. He'll be just like get you fucking bad
Starting point is 01:17:42 I mean are you a good person? Yeah, it's that tested for rapies. All right. Oh, it's big enough. Are you a good person? We have to go back to your again now, right? We have to check back in with your again, the atheist that owned him earlier. I was wondering if he was going to tie up that loose end. Not yet. Not yet. He's just going to remind you that it's still loose now. Right? Like, this is his actual line to Yergen during this exchange. He goes, you know, I'd hate for you to die and for God to give you what you deserve. That's the actual quote. I'd hate for God to give you what you deserve. I burning in hell for eternity. Fucking Scandinavian. What are you 68? You're gonna die soon. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:27 What a shirt. You're 80. All right. So now we fast with mere three years later, we fast forward to the day of the infamous lick. Oh, I was so hoping to make it into this movie. I the whole time I was standing on my sofa at this point. Yeah, just looking at all the background running it really slow and shit. No. So it's June 3rd, 2016, Washington, DC. Ray was there. Eli's tongue was all salivating away.
Starting point is 01:19:00 So he starts off. He introduces the thing where he was going to give away the subway cards, but then the cops said, hey man, you can't just come to their thing as protesters and be amongst them, right? Yeah. And he claims the DC police told him that they would arrest him and his evangelists
Starting point is 01:19:17 if they talked to any atheists. Like, how the fuck would that work? How much do're forced that? Are you an atheist too late? Ha, gosh, I am. Right. Take him down, officer. Right.
Starting point is 01:19:33 No, what they said is you have to have a permit to stage a giant protest of a thousand people. Yeah. Yeah. Well, not even that you have to have a permit that you have to stay in the place that sort of set aside for protesters. Right. Like you can't just rush the stage and somebody else's fucking thing as a protester. Good. Trust me. I know. I learned that from March for Life this year. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:58 You can't roll a hot wheels truck at somebody and then tackle them out of the way. You were driving the truck, it doesn't count. All right, so yeah, so he just learned that he had to follow the rules. So he's like, fuck it. I guess I'll give these subway cars to homeless people. Then it's like, man, that's really what you should be doing with your money to start with, right? That should have been...
Starting point is 01:20:19 That was your plan B, man. Homeless people. Free food was plan B. I just want to be clear, okay? Yep. And he could not resent it more. And you know who I ended up having to give these food cards to daddy stinking homeless people. Yeah, but just as we're waiting for the big lick to come, he says, and while I was in Washington, they see some Christians videotape me. Here's
Starting point is 01:20:43 that video. And now he's just talking to us and direct address the tricky bastard. He's a clip during which I didn't get tricked by any fancy words into being a biblical pedophile. There you go. Yeah, I nailed it. Again, like even when he gets to just choose whatever a clip he wants and not putting the question or the response, he still looks like a fucking idiot because he's basically spends like three minutes and a look, man, if God isn't real, my life would be pathetic, like entirely pointless. I would just be an intentional laughing stock bringing shame to my ancestors and my generations with every breath that I took. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 01:21:22 what was the question again? Sorry, I mean, even if God were real and that we just have the evidence that we have, I would be monstrous to the people around me. Shit. Shit. Do not do good things. That's very important. Hindus want you to do good things. Yeah, fucking wrong.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Yeah. Unbelievable. Fucking Hindus and their good deeds. Yeah. No, good deeds. Yeah, no, good deeds don't get that's that's a bribe for God. God knows that moving on. Uh, here's how to get God to like you.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Tell me love his son. Yeah. Right. Back to back. Back to back points he makes. And you will, in the interview cuts in at one point and says, look, look, look, I see how this is a comforting thought for you that you're fighting with the good guy against demon and stuff, but, but how do you know what's true?
Starting point is 01:22:10 And raised like, I'll tell you what, let me ignore that question and just finish saying the thing I was already saying, which already wasn't the answer to your last question. Fuck you. Don't do good things. Yeah. And then he says at the end, and like many other atheists are very notably not like me ever, he didn't add it out anything I said. Right. So he knows that's the nice thing to do. He admitted it in his video.
Starting point is 01:22:35 All right. Now it's time for Lawrence Kraus to make an unwitting guest appearance in this one too. Right. And it's also really sad because he admits here how he got the Lawrence Kraus interview, which is that the people that were interviewing him for their documentary also had Lawrence Kraus and they were like, oh, we're going to go interview Lawrence Kraus and he was like, oh, can I come? And they were like, no. And he was like, please. And they were like, you can have four questions and you have to wear a silly hat for an hour before. Yes, got to be sillier than the one that Lawrence Grouse was already wearing.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Basically, you're going to have to do the gesture hat thing from before. Yeah, but he explains that he wanted to get an interview with Lawrence Grouse for his in his own words, then new video, the H theist illusion. And he was in his own words like goofy at Disneyland. Yeah. Ray, goofy's not excited to be in Disneyland. You are excited to meet goofy. What do you think happens in Disneyland, Ray? No one can take a week off. Go to Disneyland. Don't talk to anyone about Jesus. You deserve it.
Starting point is 01:23:50 No you don't. All right. And then we watch a little preview for the atheist delusion. And then we have this amazing, weird, blurry, name drop thing that basically lasts for the rest of the movie where like. He wants you to know that he was in a room with Pendulet, but he's not allowed to show that Pendulet was in the room, because he doesn't have intrad- he doesn't have permission to use his likeness, or his voice.
Starting point is 01:24:16 That's insane. It's amazing. It's like, you can videotape me as long as you never use it for anything And Ray covers like yes, I will take that video Absolutely, thank you so much, Paine, we are best friends And we're just getting like Paine in like witness protection program off to the side with like the crazy voice and then like The layers across this great is the best yeah, right. They can't even use this voice. So they put subtitles up of like pen, said this just me sitting outside a Cecil's apartment in a tree,
Starting point is 01:24:52 pathetic ray. That's your stuff. Come on, man. Well, I love to. Okay. So they show a little bit of Lauren's sort of like working out with them. How they're going to do this interview and Lauren's just like, okay, you get to ask four questions. When I tell you to fuck a monkey, you actually have to fuck the monkey all the way till one
Starting point is 01:25:10 of you comes already doing it. So there's such a dark magic moment where Ray just whispers in absolute desperation. He's just like, please, please don't mention banana man. And Lawrence is like, Oh, I should bring up the banana man thing and he's like, if you want to, I've never been more empathetic to Ray when he's just like stupid Ray Say banana man. Don't say banana. Am I talking? about the banana thing. I'm saying banana man, don't say banana. Am I talking about banana? Banana man.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Oh, so this is great. I'm over the biblia file guy. Quit me on out of safe thoughts. So also I love this moment where we he has on video him and Lauren Scouse making this following agreement. Lawrence says, okay, so you're either going to use all of this video or none of it, right? No editing. And he's like, no editing.
Starting point is 01:26:12 And then we cut away from that video. There's literally an edit right after. There really is. There literally is. And we cut back to Ray Comfort talking into the camera more to that atheist film crew that asked him like Can you be a good person without religion and he's like well, you know as long as you define good person wrong and you're okay with Mixing fabrics and lusting after people. Yeah, I guess yeah
Starting point is 01:26:36 And they they literally here go so you mean thought crimes and he's like yes Fantastic me exactly in my movie, yes, thought crimes. He keeps getting these got your rebuttals, but he's too dumb to know. They're like, so thought crimes, like, yeah, thought crimes that you can burn an attorney for is what I'm both defending and advocating for. Do you want me to draw you a picture? I can let me, let me write that down because I've never called it that before. Thought crimes.
Starting point is 01:27:01 And then Lawrence Krauss is like, well, that sounds a lot like 1984. And it's like, I don't think morality was different in the 80s. Same rules, like a cocaine thing. You're doing a race thing. Say what it is. Yeah. And also, by the way, he compares everything to a filthy sheep here. Why is it always like a filthy sheep for you, Ray?
Starting point is 01:27:24 Why is that your go to analogy for everything as a filthy sheep here. Why is it always like a filthy sheep for you, Ray? Why is that your go to analogy for everything as a filthy sheep? And then, okay, so we get to the end of the Lawrence Cross video and then he says, and Penn Gillette was right there and we were set up with cameras and lights and everything. It was like God was ordaining an interview for me with Penn Gillette, but, but then Penn said, no, because there is no God. No, no, it's different. No, it was testing cloak of humiliation. Me. I guess. And by the way, I just have to point out it's just a little thing, but through this
Starting point is 01:27:55 clip where he's explaining how much he wanted to talk to Penn, we have a shot of Lawrence Crasp practicing Tegg off his wedding ring. And it is so distracting. Did anyone see it? But me? No. Ray, what? He's just Lawrence grass being like, yeah, that sucker comes right the park. Oh, for me. That too, the witch doctor. So and before we cut away from this, there's like nine times when they pretend that this scene is about to be over. This is the first one where Lawrence is like, I'm sorry, can I ask you a question? Where is like, yes, I would love
Starting point is 01:28:27 to be in this room with you more. And he says, basically, I'm very lightly paraphrasing Lawrence Krauss' question. He basically goes, are you embarrassed by how stupid you are? And so this and this is my best words. This is where it raised like, yeah, you know what? I am embarrassed about the banana video, but only in the fact that you guys didn't see the great Coke can bit that leads into it. So you didn't even know why I was talking about a tab at the top. And Lawrence is just like, okay, man. Yeah, he's just like, okay, you're embarrassed for the wrong reasons, though, right? You know that. It's like if Carrie had started doing physical bits while she was covering the
Starting point is 01:29:10 pigs, blood, she was like, is it raining in here? Oh, I'm going down the escalator. Floor one, floor two to more blood. Oh, can you remember? So yeah, they're all going to laugh with you more like it. Am I right? Mama. I carried deep cut. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:39 You know what? I'm moving from the 80s. Okay. And so then once again, it's like Lawrence is about to leave and then he turns around and he's like, okay, I got to ask you about the hell thing, right? Like your God, he condemns people to hell and you're okay with that. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no, it's not that God condemns us to hell. It's that we should have had his dinner ready by the time he got home and we were asking for it.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Yeah, he actually asked him. He's like, do you really think there's a loving God given all these things? I just gave you a six samples all those problems of evil and raised like, well, I mean God punish the Nazis for all the little stuff to like lustful thoughts Like several people in the room off camera are just like what? what um and then okay and now it's they're finally kicking his ass out and Lawrence crosses okay goodbye and ray has this like moment right where he gets all excited he's like goodbye oh that's a contraction of God be with you boom you accidentally believe in God I'm out I'm out before you can take it back right it's a bad and they're like
Starting point is 01:30:46 not i don't think that's true and he's like giggle right now no he's not though that's the thing right it takes one of the atheist to go like well you know we could just check and see who's correct on this and they're like yes let's all agree on an objective source and then accept whatever the objective source says and they do and raise right and then he literally runs away because he's winning.
Starting point is 01:31:10 Yep, the one time he ever got something correct and it was on video, dammit. He flees the room. He's like, so I was right. All right. Good bye for him. I'm glad for you now. Just to call you, thank you could call you a good, good, good man, and they're gonna make videos about you.
Starting point is 01:31:28 You're only gonna have your $130,000 in salary alone to come for you. Yeah, right. Also, like there's other words, like, like serial is from series, The Roman God of Agriculture. Yeah, right, right. Right. Echoes a magical mountain. Nymph.
Starting point is 01:31:49 So like what? You talking about. Raiseless thing to this at breakfast. He just pushes his weedies away. My heart. You saved me. Heathen, right? You saved me.
Starting point is 01:31:59 I'm going to use your blurry image and not words in a movie Sunday to thank you. So yeah. So now he was approached by two Sasquatches on his way out of the interview. Right. We have this extended video of him talking to Pendulette and a friend of Pendulets's who's also an actor neither of whom he can show in his video So it's just Ray talking to giant blurs. Yeah, but he gets it pretty good here because They literally ran into traffic to get away Again his movie That really happened apparently pen told this story on his podcast later.
Starting point is 01:32:47 He was like, yeah, this guy was so fucking obnoxious. I actually walked into traffic with my buddy. We almost got hit by a car. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And Ray puts it in. It's just like, and it's funny.
Starting point is 01:32:59 It's probably because God had remembered that thing earlier about if you were going to get hit by a truck and I tackled you. And that's why you almost hit Penn Gillette with a car. I really wanted Penn to turn around at this point and be like, dude, what the fuck? Why didn't you tackle me? You're like, you're like, oh gosh, you know what? It just seemed like heavy. Yes, the car and Penn, he's big dude. You're a libertarian
Starting point is 01:33:28 By a private not car force And then by the way there's a you there's a mystery obviously at the heart of this whole movie You may have not have realized that until now, but earlier when we were talking about pen We just knew that someone had given pen a Bible, but we didn't know who. Well, now we do, damn it. Ray found that guy or more than one person has ever given pen a Bible one or this guy's just making up shit to get to be in one array conference movie. It's one of those things happened. Well, never know. Uh points out here, the guy who thinks he gave Penn the Bible that like Penn and tell her, stand in the lobby for like four hours after their show. And that's true. They do. They like shake everyone's hand who came to their
Starting point is 01:34:14 giant show. Fun fact, which you should not miss. Penn loves doing that. Teller hates doing that because he doesn't get to talk to anybody. So if you stand there watching you can watch pen get happier and happier and tell her fill with white hot hatred with thousand sons As 400 people make the same like don't say anything if you'll tell me all your tricks are done joke He won't break character even at the end of the show. He's always in character. Yeah. I mean, his character is just not talking, but yeah. Yeah, but he regrets that. Yeah. Feels like they didn't think that one. All right. And now it's time to check in one last time with Jürgen. Where basically, he says like, you know, the rate turns to the camera and he's like oh you thought I was done talking to this 70 year old man about how inevitable his death was I am not I am not I could go on well guess what He died yes and
Starting point is 01:35:19 In traffic just like Penn said got hit by a truck Huh, that's how how great an ending is that. Ray said in his movie, which he had control over. Hi. He's son. Yup, he's just thought, you know, that's a pretty, you know, God's pretty clever with his murders of old people. When he, when he, when he, we got kills and all guy,
Starting point is 01:35:41 I mean, it's usually pretty funny about it. And then Ray turns to us and indirect address explains how he wants to tackle us today with his banana. Yeah. And if race steps out in front of a car and dies at this point, best. Oh, that's how it fits. I love the fact that the best way you could put like a silver lining on this movie is to say at the very end. So if you're being mocked for your faith, just be thankful. You're not me. The end.
Starting point is 01:36:13 He starts walking any trips over Yerkin's dead body and falls into the street and gets from my trip. I mean, the better if it was a banana peel though banana. Just remember, if someone's making fun of you someday, the, as the Bible says, the, the fools will be wise and the wise will be fool. Simply. All right. Well, that's where the movie ends. I think the important takeaway though, maybe not the one that Ray wanted us to take away,
Starting point is 01:36:46 but the one I am taking away is that Ray will let Atheist set conditions for interviews and debates. I know he's been dying to get on one of our shows. So to close things off today, I want to ask you guys and the audience at home, feel free to tweet us your suggestions. What conditions should we reach out to Ray with for when we do a debate with him? Oh, okay. We tell him we're audio files and he has to dress accordingly.
Starting point is 01:37:17 I'm a little T cup. Get out right. He's just dressed as an MP3. What does that even mean, man? I've known an MP for all. You know what I'm saying. All right. My rule, if he's going to bring up like God's perfect creation, I get to do the rest of the debate without my shirt on while he makes that. Like, I'm going to just slowly hide things in my tummy fat as he describes how. Yeah, I know. Everything's too perfect. Obviously, that should be a rule just in general. Anytime Ray Comfort talks about how perfect God's creation is,
Starting point is 01:37:55 he should have to do it naked, right? All right, so that's going to do a far review of the fool, but that's not going to do it for the episode just yet, because we still need to wrap something around the ads we We scheduled for next week. So Eli, tell us what's on deck? Gothnell, the trial of America's biggest serial killer. That's the real title. America's biggest serial killer. He's an abortion doctor, though, because he's an abortion doctor. Oh, wow. All right. Yeah. So Ray Comfort, uh, was the soft landing for that.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Just getting better. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's lovely. Okay. So with that to look forward to, we're bringing episode one, ninety three to one merciful clothes.

Starting point is 01:39:21 Every time he gets a phone call from Ray Comfort, Pendulet says, hold on, I'm gonna put Teller on, and then he walks away. You're good. Burnt in hell for eternity, like he deserved. Ray Comfort included us in a movie three years later. In 2032, at which point, all of us were dead. Really 203232 you think? Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, I googled it and they and there was actually
Starting point is 01:40:18 a core question that was like, how come dentistry is so stupid and the same and a dentist exactly answered this question with like, you fucking asshole. Yeah. A Morgan's. You know what, Florida is. Send me all of this so I can put it at the end and everybody knows that he's all Eli. Just in the show notes. Just to show that me this one is real.
