SPEAKER_02 1:49

So this week we had a listener who chimed in on last week's episode. As you guys know, it was talking about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Um we felt like sharing his thoughts with all of you.

SPEAKER_03 2:03

Yeah. And we have a lot to go over today. Um, so you'll see it used reading from our papers again this week, just heavy week. So um I'll start off with what he has to say.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Alright.

SPEAKER_03 2:17

So great episode. What is always amazing is that the chosen generation, Israel, crucified their Savior, even though his coming was foretold. So fulfilling of the promise to David. That's in Psalms 16, verse 10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to seek corruption. The promise was also spoken of by Paul as a reminder. ACTS thirteen, thirty three through thirty-seven. God hath fulfilled the same unto us, their children, and that he raised up Jesus again, as it is also written in the second Psalm, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee, and as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine holy one to see corruption, for David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption. But he whom God raised again saw no corruption. Jesus foretold of his resurrection in Matthew twenty, verse nineteen, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge. Scourge was that one word we we we went over where he got beaten, and to crucify him, and the third day he shall rise again. Also in Mark fourteen, verse twenty eight, but after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. In Luke twenty four, forty-four through forty six, and he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. Then opened he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoove Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. John two nineteen says, Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years will was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days. But he spake of the temple of his body, when therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them, and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said. And yet there are still Jews and others that do not believe that Jesus has come, died on the cross, and rose again. Satan desires to steal, kill, and destroy. So important for us believers to know and share the gospel. Thank you again. So that was a nice, nice note. I would even call him a theologian. Yes, sir. Gave us some good input in there. So I appreciate your feedback. Thank you to everybody that gives us feedback. And thank you for listening to the show, too. Obviously, yes, sir. Um, so Fred, let's start off how we normally start off. How was your week?

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Uh my week was okay. Um, long days, uh, which uh doing that bathroom remodel that was way ahead of schedule, um, but needed. Uh it's making a lot of trips to the hardware store, so that's that's always fun because you uh you buy the piece that you think you need, find out it's the wrong size, and then go back four different times.

SPEAKER_03 6:10

Um right before they try to close, too.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Yes, yes, you're trying to erase that clock and then you're getting frustrated. I live actually pretty close to one too, and it's it's amazing how much time that can be. But a lot of plumbing, which I don't I don't like doing. I don't know too much about it. I guess I do okay at it. Um that's uh at least it's not with the toilet right now. Yeah, so far that the toilet's good and everything. I gotta I gotta move that because we're we're doing first. It started out as subfloor, and like we got flooring, so we're gonna put that all in there and everything. Just getting rid of all the tile.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

Um what type of flooring you're gonna get? Laminate.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

It's that laminate, like uh it looks like wood, okay, but it's uh the waterproof and like foamy rubber, rubber side. Um is it like a plank?

SPEAKER_03 7:07

It's the tiny groove that you kind of snap in.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

Oh, that stuff's dude, that stuff's amazing. But um, so yeah, we're doing that. Um the shower I put in a surround, which I didn't even think about it. I removed tile, and then there's backing on the tile, so that's like a good inch difference. So I have off my spout, there's like an inch gap now. I'm like, oh my goodness, it's talking, right? Right now, temporary. I'm I gotta I got it sealed up to where we can use it to to, you know, obviously take showers and baths, but like, man, that's can you just put one of those circular covers over? Yeah, right now I got yeah, because it had it had the like here's your shower wall, it had the little thing, and then your spout. Yep. Wall now there's like an inch gap, and then there's like sealant in there right now. Okay, so it's not gonna make me have to replace the subfloor that I just replaced, but obviously it's not a long-term, it's a quick fix for right now. Right. Um, but with that, like I've been working on it. And I'm at the point where I'm putting up some trim and um long story. Anyway, so I need my air compressor while my kids are upstairs sleeping and stuff, so I can't be like you know that's when you need one of those expensive airless ones. Yeah, the battery ones are pretty nice, pretty quiet. But even them, they're still pretty loud for I mean it's a yeah, so um, and then because of that, staying up late, work, I am running low on patience, so I'm so glad the work week's over because like I was just like I hate this place. So it was bad, it was bad. Everything kind of just set me off, and I'm like, dude, I'm I'm struggling and I'm trying, but man, it was just it has been a long week. Um but like as far as the amount of work and everything getting done, that's fine. Crews doing fine, everything's fine. It's just I call it the job site politics, I guess, and it's just annoying, but um I'm really hoping we're not gonna get as much rain as they say we are, so that way we can actually enjoy some time with the family and everything, but we'll we'll I've the family has probably felt um the uh the long week, and as a result, I think we're all just wanting to spend some time together. So I that's that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

I'm almost thinking about buying a wetsuit and just like mowing in the rain. Like, who cares at this point? I can beg it if I absolutely need to, but like Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:03

Or just let it clump up and just not in the front yard, just in the back.

SPEAKER_03 10:10

Yeah, because obviously my neighbors don't care about their yards.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

Just rake it a little bit out, like even not like rake it into a pile, just rake the the mountains that piled up and just spread it.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

Well, it's a good thing I just cleaned up after Cooper because I wouldn't want to mix it. Oh, yeah, that'd be that'd be uh yeah, I'd have some nasty stories to tell, but we're a proper show, so we won't share those.

SPEAKER_02 10:31

We don't share any stories like that at all.

SPEAKER_03 10:34

No, but so how was your week? Um, I mean, got that extra run back. Now I'm just I'm I'm busy. I am super busy again. I am not getting off early. I think I saw my kids once, maybe twice before bed this week. Um, which that just it sucks. But um I'll see them tomorrow in bits and pieces because now that I got off work, like there's just a lot to do non-stop throughout the entire weekend. So um hopefully I can get my last estimate done tomorrow for my gutters, and then I can make my decision tomorrow. Check that off the list, get that done. Um, yeah. Did you know it was over$700 to put in my one stitch? No, but I digress.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Um, so no, just random, just random.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

It just burned me. My wife told me that with the document today. I'm just like, I wish I can get paid$700 just to, I don't know, back in a trailer. Like, but anywho, so yeah, just it's gonna be busy. Um, I'm glad I'm getting my hours back. I was able to donate last week, so that's good. Um, just hopefully my protein's up so I can keep going. I've been I don't know something's going on with that, but well, if you're still healing up, your body's using that. I they say that they say the working out thing too, but it doesn't matter, like I'll have and I know I have to have more than the people I look at. No offense. But the people I look at in there, I mean over like probably like 120 to 150 grams of protein a day, and I'm still like not cutting it, you know. Like I'm able to go in there, but then there's kind of this discrepancy where they do uh an immediate blood test to get your numbers, whereas they'll send it into a place and they'll get the actual factual ones, and they're about one point off from each other. So I could be getting a 6.5 here, but over there with the real testing be a 5.5. Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:43

So I've had it where mine was actually too high. Once I did have I did have that, and the reason why is because I had a really long day at work, and then I ate like straight peanut butter, dude. Like I like, I was like, I'm I don't have time, so I think I just did like two spoonfuls of peanut butter and wet, and I was like, they're like, it's too high. I'm like, are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_03 13:05

Yeah, I have no idea when my body's digesting stuff. I I don't know. Some dude told me, Hey, have Greek yogurt and our head, then slam two before you come in, like an hour and then a half hour before you come in. I was still only at like 6.7. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 13:20

Is it almonds? Are almonds supposed to be a good source too?

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Because somebody was telling me to eat like cashew. I should just try to eat like a bunch of eggs in the morning and then a meat at night for dinner, usually chicken or beef, and then I'll have like two protein shakes during the day, two beef sticks during the day. Um, my wife found a really good deal for Quest bars. It's like a 10 pack for a dollar, and she bought me like a whole bunch of them.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

10 pack for a dollar?

SPEAKER_03 13:49

They're minis though, but it was still a dollar, yeah. So I got like my protein for the next three or four weeks. It's cookie dough. That's just all it is. It's just uh after the I think I'm already on my third box or whatever, and it's just like well uh like I might have to have you try it. It's almost like a taffy consistency to it too.

SPEAKER_02 14:15

I've had the I've had the cookie dough one, I've had the brownie one. The brownie one I don't care for. Um, and then I want to say they had like a is it like a white chocolate one or something like that? I can't remember, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:31

Yeah, so I'm just all about trying to get the stuff.

SPEAKER_02 14:33

So how do you do protein shakes? Like you just take the powder and you get water?

SPEAKER_03 14:36

Mm-hmm. It goes in your body quicker than milk.

SPEAKER_02 14:39

Something like that. Because I don't eat lunch typically.

SPEAKER_03 14:42

Aldi, which is not sponsored by us or pay us money or anything. They have protein, which is like a dollar a serving.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

And it has like just a little bit of creatine in it. 30 grams of protein, two grams of creatine in it.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

So yeah, I don't I don't really eat breakfast and I don't really eat lunch. So yeah, so that's not bad.

SPEAKER_03 15:05

So that's not bad. So yeah. So that's what I do. So you get 20 servings out of it, so you know, if you do it twice a day, you get 10 days out of it, a week and a half for 20 bucks.

SPEAKER_02 15:17

It's not terrible.

SPEAKER_03 15:18

Better than spending money on a gas station or something.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

Because that's what I used to do, and that adds up quick.

SPEAKER_03 15:24

Yeah, real quick. All right.

SPEAKER_02 15:26

Alright.

SPEAKER_03 15:27

You want to jump on to the main topic?

SPEAKER_02 15:29

Do the main topic. So um, as we continue our back to the basics of our country, uh, we talked about the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights. This week we're going to begin. Uh, it's probably gonna be a series of episodes, but we're gonna begin to look over the Constitution. Uh, this is a long document and it will take a few weeks to cover. We, of course, have to do some fun facts. Yes, we do. So, did you know? I did not. No. Did you know that the US Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in use?

SPEAKER_03 16:10

I did only because I did this part of the research.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

Bad radio.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

Did you know? I mean, um, no, I didn't. Um, another one is the Constitution Convention took place in Philadelphia in 1787. I didn't own that one, but um, and then George Washington presided over the Constitution Convention. Uh, the Constitution wow, the Constitution was signed on September 17th, 1787. James Madison is often called the father of the Constitution, and the original document is housed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Until Nicolas Cage came and took it.

SPEAKER_03 16:58

National Treasure? Yeah. I think I saw that once. I think he took the decoration. Oh no. Was it National Treasure? Actually, maybe I did not see that one. I don't know why I'm getting this confused, but I think I'm getting them confused with is it Tom Hanks that was in Angels and Demons, and he was finding all the documents with like the Roman. No, I'm sorry, not the Romans. Um Catholics.

unknown 17:20

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 17:21

I'm gonna have to look that up. Sorry, sorry, that was a bad sidebar.

SPEAKER_02 17:25

But oh, and there are oh man, I had that. I don't know. There's seven articles?

SPEAKER_03 17:35

Um I'm not sure. You said article one, there's ten sections, and so we're gonna start off that's where we're starting. So whoops. So we'll start off with section one, shall we? Alright. And I think this pertained to it says the Congress. But it's not just in what you mean, just the Congress. But, anyways, all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. So, a note that I threw in here that it is important to understand that our government has different roles. So, we see that we have three different branches when it comes to our government. So we have the Senate and the Congress, that's legislative, they legislate laws. Our judges are the judicial branch, and something to really focus on here is that they're supposed to oversee the law and not make the law, dictate if it's within the the parameters.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

That's the word I want of the law.

SPEAKER_03 18:46

Yeah, like if it's legal or illegal, yeah, yeah, not make laws, yeah, not make laws because they can say what they want, but they can't enforce anything, right? They're just a judge, just a judge, and lastly, our president is the executive branch. Okay, so let's jump to section two, shall we? Section two.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

Man, we are off to a fast start.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

Yeah, our house. Okay. Not my house, though. In the middle of our street. I don't know that one. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

It's a great song.

SPEAKER_03 19:18

But our house. Our house. Yeah, dude. Oh, okay. Because the little thing. I probably never heard that. In the middle of our street. I just got I can't hear words in songs.

SPEAKER_01 19:31

Like, I don't know what he's saying, but it's just our house.

SPEAKER_03 19:35

So section two. The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states. And the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature. No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty-five years and been seven years a citizen of the United States. And who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of the state in which he shall be chosen?

SPEAKER_02 20:16

So, my question to this is how long can you live out of a state before you are no longer an inhabitant of that state?

SPEAKER_03 20:26

So obviously, questioning that bottom part, the last part that we just said on that section, too.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Because, like you think about it, I feel like I'm just gonna our federal level senator has I would dare say he spent far more years in DC than he has in Iowa. And it's like, okay, at that point, like you're no longer. No, not my favorite, my favorite senator. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he spent more time in DC than he has in Iowa. And I'm like, you're not repri like you can't represent like you're you're a Washington, DC, like resident. Like you're not a resident of Iowa at that point. I would like that's what I'm saying. Like I know different states have different requirements for that. Like I think I think it was one of the Dakotas said, as long as you have a P.O. box and you come up for a week, you're still a resident of this state. And that's all it takes. But it's like I feel like to be a representative of that, like I almost feel like you should have to spend at least eight months a year in that state.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

I mean, at least all your vacation. Yeah, that should be eight months. But um yeah, no, because I would think 'cause I was trying to think of this two ways. So like if I double residency, right?

SPEAKER_02 21:55

Well, and I thought it that's what I was thinking about. It was a double barrel.

SPEAKER_03 21:58

Like if I lived in Idaho For five months and what 30 days, and then I live in Texas for six months and one day. Well, then technically I would be a Texan. Yeah. That's how that would work. But then um That's how it should work. But then if I moved the last day of the year somewhere else, that would probably still apply whatever length of time where I was where I was at.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

Well, and I know like it it depends, like I said, with each state. I know that. But I feel like if you're representing that state on a federal level, you should be held to a higher requirement, so to speak. And I also wonder, like, if if you just moved, let's say a person moved from Iowa to Kentucky, okay, how long does he have to be a resident of Kentucky before he can be a representative? Like these are these are I mean, but when you think about it, when they wrote this, they didn't move around like what we do, they didn't have a such thing as working remote, you know. But it's just stuff that like you wish I almost wish they would have spelled it out, just because like it's absurd to think where we're at compared to where they were at at a mindset of a country, but they just they didn't have that there's no way that they could think of all this stuff. Well, because they just got rid of a monarch and that whole higher class of people that ruled over the common person, you know. So it's like, yeah, we came we came from that. We never go back to that. These are gonna be how we didn't.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

They're gonna be grateful, they're gonna be responsible, they're gonna do what they're supposed to.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Yeah, they're gonna know, you know, but so yeah, that's just so back to seven years. I'm sure. And then I I think I wish they would have just put in there, you have to be in your state that you're representing for at least six months in a day.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

I feel like you should be there longer because if it's your state that you're representing, you need to know your state.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_03 24:08

Yeah. Alright, let's jump into uh the next part of section two, shall we? So representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their prospective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons, the actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years in such manner as they shall by law direct.

SPEAKER_02 24:57

Pretty sure this is talking about the census, like based on the population is right no, yeah. According to your representatives, representative numbers and stuff is yeah. Okay. I think that's what it is.

SPEAKER_03 25:13

Yeah. So the representatives that you're gonna be getting is gonna and the taxes that you directly have to pay for is gonna be based off by yeah, the people, the number of people that's in the state. So then yes, it would come back to they'd have to come back and do a census to figure that stuff out. And that's why that's why you see like kind of a fight that's been going on by um making sure that in the census you have to mark whether you're a citizen or not, because non-citizens shouldn't be included in the census because you're not a citizen, you're not a person here.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

Which legally, yes, and then they like to come back with the idea. I I hate how this is the word it, because they they say that they pay sales tax, so they're a tax person, and it's like no, that's but I also just love how they spelled this out in so much detail, but they failed to put in the prior section you have to live in your state for at least six months of a day.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

Like man, aren't we aren't we up for another census soon? I feel like I know we did one under Barack Obama. I thought we did one under Trump too. Because wasn't there a fight when he did that? Because he wanted to add that question in there, I think, originally.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

It was Barack Obama's first term, so yeah, it would have been Trump's first term. So then it'll be after Trump's this presidential term, whoever it'll be in their second year, I believe. Okay. All right, let's show you. I hate filling those out. When I was in college, I was an Iowa resident, went to school in a different state, and uh they made me fill it out in that other state to count for that other state.

SPEAKER_03 27:01

I'm like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 27:02

That's interesting.

SPEAKER_03 27:04

All right, next part that we have is of section two. The number of representatives shall not exceed one for every 30,000, but each state shall have at least one representative, and until such enumeration shall be made, the state of New Hampshire shall be entitled to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three. When vacancies happen in the representation from any state, the executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies. The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers and shall have the sole power of impeachment. Yeah. Yeah. So that doesn't apply today, still, is it? One representative for every 30,000.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

I wouldn't think that would I know we in Iowa have two. But yeah, yeah, because it's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:33

We have two, right? We definitely had to pop up four representatives. Um that'd be Miller Meeks, Fienstra. Oh, yeah, this is the first one. So I think four Hansen. Yeah. Or sorry, Henson, and then um Miller Meeks.

unknown 28:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:49

But we have four. And I know we don't have 120,000 people, so they must have changed numbers on that. Yeah, they had to do something. Okay. You want to jump ahead to section three?

SPEAKER_02 29:01

Yeah, yeah, we can talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 29:03

Okay, the Senate. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof for six years, and each senator shall have one vote. Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. The seats of the senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the second year. Of the second class at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year. I assume they're talking about the way the elections go for your representatives.

SPEAKER_02 29:47

Well, you have like let's say I have six years, you've already been in there for two, so I would be the third class, you would be your second class, and then if somebody was before you and they have two years left, they're the first class. Oh, I gotcha. Okay. So it's it it kind of keeps them rotating.

SPEAKER_03 30:05

I almost thought that's how they uh did the elections. No, no. Anyways. Um, so that one third may be chosen every second year, and if vacancies happen by resignation or otherwise during the recess of the legislature of any state, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies. No person shall be a senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen?

SPEAKER_02 30:52

Again, how long do you can you go live outside that state before you are no longer inhabitant of that state? Like just because I have an Iowa driver's license, but I've lived in Washington, DC for the past twelve years. Because they have houses and everything over there, dude. They're not they're not Iowans. Right.

SPEAKER_03 31:15

Right. Like, um, yeah, no, I think it's a really good point you brought up because like I even think about if I just move to Kentucky and I run for Senate there, like I literally will not know anything about anything about Kentucky, other than they have bourbon there. And bluegrass. And bluegrass.

SPEAKER_02 31:39

Music and actual grass that's called bluegrass. But you think about it, like, even on our local government election right now, we have a guy who is from Colorado running for government or governor, right? Isn't he originally from Colorado? I feel like he wasn't originally from here, like he moved from Colorado, and I think he's running for governor, if I remember right. I could be wrong. Is it the farmer? I don't remember. Oh I haven't looked for a while, but I was I had all these notes on him and stuff, but yeah, I totally lost them. But I thought that's what it was, and I'm like, well, how long? Like, I think you should have to live in that state. Like, obviously, you have to live in the country and be the citizen for seven years um or nine years to be a federal level either House member or a Senate, but you know, it's like how long because if I if I lose the election in Iowa, can I just move to Wisconsin and boom I can run for Senate again? Like, yeah, like that, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 32:41

Apparently, unless they have some rules in their state.

unknown 32:45

I guess.

SPEAKER_03 32:46

Even though this is a federal election, though. Right. But yeah, I am not sure. Alright, let's jump into uh the next part of section three. The vice president of the United States shall be president of the Senate, but shall have no vote unless they be equally divided. The Senate shall choose their other officers and also a president pro tempore in the absence of the vice president, or when he shall exercise the office of president of the United States. The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside Roberts, right? Is it but or are they talking about Chief Justice out of um the Senate? It was Roberts, I think. Okay. So it'd be Supreme Court Justice. Well, hold on. The Chief Justice I I wonder if that's what it's gotta be. I think so Roberts will be there. And no person shall be convicted without the con concurrence of two-thirds of the members present.

SPEAKER_02 34:03

I I love that. That's probably my favorite thing, is two-thirds of that Senate has to be there. And I love it because these guys probably would never have even dreamed that you wouldn't have more than two-thirds there all the time. But you look at our Senate meetings, like there's a lot of people missing a lot of the time.

SPEAKER_03 34:23

And like that's even like the people that are there, you have the yays, you have the nays, and you have a no vote, like why are you there if you're a no vote?

SPEAKER_02 34:34

Like, don't you have to vote? Like, I don't isn't that your job? Like it's supposed to be. I mean, supposed to be. I I don't know. I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna try this Monday morning. I'm not gonna show up. And if they call and ask me my opinion on anything, I'm just gonna say, I don't know, and leave it at that and see how long I have a job.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

Well, it's just because we're peons, that's why it doesn't matter. You know, we don't matter. So I just we're not making like a thousand dollars a day that we're there, if not more.

SPEAKER_02 35:03

And like I get it, like they should be paid decent. I mean, they're making huge impact on our country and the direction it's going, but it's like dude, they're just I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

I believe it's like a thousand dollar a day because all the vacations that they get too, and it's vacations, man.

SPEAKER_02 35:22

That's also and perks, you get to skip the line about the lobbyists and how much they got on the side.

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Well, yeah, if they get something on the side too. Plus, if you're Pelosi, I mean, sorry, if you're Paul Pelosi, then you can do some stock trading, insider trading too, along with everybody else. I mean, can't get that passed either.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

It's illegal for everybody, but if you work in the Senate, we'll just turn a blind eye.

SPEAKER_03 35:47

Man, just me. It's illegal for thee, but not for me. Yeah, yep. Okay, so let's wrap up our section three, shall we? Yes. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States. But the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to the indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to the law. One thing that would be excellent, my friend, is if there is some accountability.

SPEAKER_02 36:23

Yeah, well, and I was thinking obviously the founding fathers were very much men of honor as far as their they strive to be that. And I think the corruption in politics, like, they're they're just they don't care about being honorable, you know, and it's I don't know. I just like I just think about the last president who got impeached by both the House and the Senate was Clinton. And like he could care less. You know, he became the figurehead or whatever the face, but he didn't make any decisions. They let him finish out his term. Like he was just there. Basically, he lived in the White House, and it was like like I don't like I don't know. There's just like no shame, even. Like, I don't I don't know. That guy, he's just a whole nother episode right there, man. That is just unbelievable.

SPEAKER_03 37:23

Yeah. But but yeah, back to accountability, it it would just be nice, like kind of with everything else. There's you bring something up, like let's say you're bringing this up for because we know if if the midterms don't go well and they flip a bunch of seats, well, that's gonna be happening day one. There's gonna be impeachment hearings for Trump.

SPEAKER_00 37:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:50

Um, so it'd be nice if there's some accountability to where, you know, if this was actually really supposed to be brought up or not, um, if there's like any legs to it, is what I'm trying to say. Um, and if there isn't, well, then something should happen. Because now you see political persecution that happens, you know, somebody's running against you, sick judges or whatever you want the law against them and make up fake stories. And guess what? It takes years for them to settle it.

SPEAKER_00 38:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:23

So, um I think if our representatives were what is the word I want, held accountable legally, um, I feel like that would change the course of our nation and the respect for our laws, uh, and obviously those that help enforce the law. Um but they've reached this godlike complex in their head. And I think like you're saying, like if you I feel like it's a serious matter when you try to impeach somebody.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

Like you It should be, but it's talked every like every other week. We're hearing stories about some other person trying to oh, he should be indicted, 25th Amendment, you know.

SPEAKER_02 39:08

Well, and I think about it, like the first term when they the House impeached him, like how many times did they bring that to the floor? Like, you can't get good bills to come to the floor of the house, let alone the Senate. Save act, but it's like they brought up Trump's impeachment so many, like they belittle belabored the point, and then I feel like the house was just like pass, like let's move on, you know, and then it like hit the Senate floor. I can't even remember how many times, and I'm like, there's bills that like we actually want, and we want our senators and our representatives to actually do something about this, but it's like we can't because we're too busy trying to impeach somebody, you know.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

Makes me wonder if uh there's on the Steve Day show they had a talk for a long while whether the American people wanted um, they'd say cheese cheese it or steak. Did they want the substance or the show? And I feel like a lot of time everybody wants to see WrestleMania on their TV and in politics rather than the real substance and the real fight that has to happen in order to get things done.

SPEAKER_00 40:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:23

Um, you know, let's call somebody a retard or you know, and yeah, yeah, that's that's awesome. And it's just like, well, what do you do?

SPEAKER_00 40:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:31

Oh, you call the guy a retard. That got a lot done, but yeah, no accountability, man.

SPEAKER_00 40:38

I just don't get it, man.

SPEAKER_03 40:40

So that's all we're gonna do for this week. We covered the first three sections and we'll hop on this hopefully next week.

SPEAKER_02 40:47

Yeah. So so if you're ready for it, we'll hit the wild card, dude. I'll bring it up so that way uh you can answer first. Let's do it. And welcome to the speaking segment of the wild card. So the wild card is um what fictional character do you think you would be cast to play?

SPEAKER_03 41:17

So I really wanted to be selfish about this one. Maybe that's not the right word, self-centered, maybe, but um, I was trying to be very um adult about this, right? Um, I was like, Spider-Man, I want to be Spider-Man. That would be that'd be awesome. Um, but then I got to thinking, I'm not jacked like Spider-Man. You know, he's more of a lean guy, but he's still pretty jacked. And uh I'm not witty. I'm I'm not witty. I'm the guy that goes five minutes later after a conversation, I go, oh yeah, I should have said that to him. That I don't have the wit. I get like one good day out of the year when I'm just on fire.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

So like the 1960s Batman, his Robin, though.

SPEAKER_03 42:03

If that's the one I've seen on TV, that is so that show is so ridiculous, man.

SPEAKER_02 42:07

Like, oh, melting balls, Batman, what are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_03 42:10

There's one where like he gets like electrical cords, like the Joker throws the electrical cord, like kind of like this, and then just all wraps around. It's just it's so pathetic. I mean, that's all you guys had, right? But yeah, so um, I was trying to go about this a little more serious. Why?

SPEAKER_02 42:28

Well, we are a very serious show.

SPEAKER_03 42:32

So um I thought of somebody in my head. So then I went over and I asked my wife, and I'm like, hey, who do you think I would play a fictional character for? Like, who do you think? And I not that I'm my end. I didn't press, I didn't pry. I just asked her the question, and she goes, Oh, probably somebody from the office. I'm like, okay, well then who? And she's like, well, Jim Halpert, and I'm like, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure there's probably other people out there, but everybody thinks they're Jim Halpert from. But I think I'm Jim Halpert, and you want to know why? Because I'm well spoken, I'm good looking, I'm charming, and so much more. That's why I think I'd play Jim Halpert. But no, it it wouldn't kill me if I didn't play Jim Halpert. I'd be okay playing Michael Scott. That would be fun.

SPEAKER_02 43:21

I think Jim Halpert did a very good job at working hard to have fun at his job and did enough to keep his job. You gotta have fun while you're working, man. Do you though?

SPEAKER_03 43:36

Do you? Uh if not, dude, you have a week like I did where you're just like I heard of a guy um at one of my stops, and uh this is the story of you don't have to have fun while you're working. Um he wasn't I mean, he wasn't a terrible, he wasn't mean guy or nothing. He was just there, and uh I just noticed him always being really red, like really flushed. All the time. Um, kind of a little bit bigger, dude. And uh, like I came a couple weeks later, and I hadn't I hadn't seen him around, so I asked, Well, come to find out the guy wasn't feeling good, right? Went to the break room, um, just not feeling good. So he's like, I'm just I'm gonna go home. So he left work, and as he was leaving work, he pulled out, put his car in reverse, and just had a massive heart attack and died right there. I'm like, man, that sucks. And then, like, on top of it to be at work, like you didn't even get a retirement, man.

SPEAKER_02 44:37

Like, I don't know where I was going with that, but I was like waiting for like a joke or something.

SPEAKER_03 44:44

Oh, fun at work or not. Yeah, like life's too short. Don't don't hate your job. Yeah, don't hate your job.

SPEAKER_02 44:51

If you do die at work, stay on the clock. So that way they pay you OT.

SPEAKER_03 44:56

Just like going to the bathroom for at least 10 minutes a day, you go get a work week out of the year just for going to the bathroom. Learn that from yours truly.

SPEAKER_01 45:04

Well, I didn't do the math. I remember when you told me you did the math. Oh, I can't believe that. Anyway, so uh boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time. Heard that one.

SPEAKER_03 45:21

And I thought we were a proper show.

SPEAKER_01 45:23

That's why I go to the bathroom on company time. Um, so uh who are who are you gonna play? My fictional character would be um who Lance a lot or something?

SPEAKER_02 45:34

No, but I've mixed it. Aragorn, dude. I would I I would love to because the movie did him dirty. Um, but there's also like Ferramir is another character that in the book, like my wife tells me, like, you're a lot like a Faramir, which to me it's just I'm just thinking of a fairy in a mirror. Like, like I still haven't seen it yet. Basically, the movies it's I was kind of insulted when I heard that, but reading the books, I was like, oh, that's not bad. Um, no, I I would want to be like like a uh like in Sherlock Holmes, I'd want to be like a Watson.

SPEAKER_03 46:11

You really like Sherlock Holmes.

SPEAKER_02 46:13

Dude, I dude, I watched the movies, but before that I had like read the books, and that was uh Robert Downey and Jude Law. And I like Jude Law, but I think I could be Maximus Aurelius, uh, whatever his name was, dude. No, I couldn't be him.

SPEAKER_03 46:29

Okay, good job. Couldn't be him. I because I was even thinking that I was like, there's no way I could be that guy.

SPEAKER_02 46:34

Dude, I'd have to be an extra, but I don't know. No, I think I think there's things that I would strive for, and I could I could play that, but I don't I don't think I got the physique of a Roman general.

SPEAKER_03 46:48

Not playing 300, are we? No.

SPEAKER_02 46:50

No, but I think uh yeah, I think being a Watson, you know, because he's proper, he's a doctor, so he's smart, he's he's also learning from Holmes, who's this oddball, you know, but he can he can appreciate what Holmes sees and stuff, and I don't know, becomes a really renowned detective and a sidekick, you know, so it's like yeah, I I could I could do that, but I don't know. I don't think I could do like any of the superhero ones. I'm just too old. I could probably play Hawkeye. I could probably play Hawkeye, dude.

SPEAKER_03 47:37

Do you know who I could play? Fat Thor?

SPEAKER_02 47:40

Fat Thor. Yes. I could I could play the thing off of uh Fantastic Four, The Rock.

SPEAKER_03 47:48

You could, but nobody's gonna watch this movie because none of them pan out well.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

They're like the biggest uh flops.

SPEAKER_03 47:57

There's just there's just some of them you just like just kind of like X-Men, like you guys have a treasure trove there, and you guys ruin it.

unknown 48:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:07

Sidebar, who's your favorite X-Men?

SPEAKER_03 48:10

That's gotta be Wolverine.

SPEAKER_02 48:11

I mean, Hugh Jackman didn't.

SPEAKER_03 48:13

I loved Wolverine and Spider-Man Girl because it was the Spider-Man that I watched growing up, and Wolverine was in there with Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_02 48:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 48:21

Yep. I liked Wolverine and Gambit.

SPEAKER_02 48:25

Gambit by far is I think he's so cool.

SPEAKER_03 48:28

But I thought he was cool in the comics. Yeah, but and I probably shouldn't say this, but in the movie that he was in, he was just No, no, like they got a weak actor that didn't open. Yeah, it just it didn't fit. Something just didn't fit.

SPEAKER_02 48:45

Like maybe it was something was weird too.

SPEAKER_03 48:47

Like maybe he was just a square and a rectangle hole, just something was just off about it. So I couldn't play a better gambit.

SPEAKER_00 48:56

I really couldn't. Dude Gambit's way too cool, man. And he's got that accent too. He's uh he's from like Louisiana or something. Yeah. The bayou or something. The bayou. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

Well, buddy, do you have anything else you want to throw on the shrimp of the bobby?

unknown 49:15

No. No.

SPEAKER_01 49:17

They could probably cast me a diamond doctor. Oh, man. Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 49:25

No. Well, if you're in it, I'm right right there with you. I'm right there with you, buddy. Oh, man. Alright, let's let's uh let's get out of here. So thank you once again for tuning in to this is the day show. Don't forget to stay. Thank you.
