Episode number four. We are back. I want to say a huge, huge thank you for all those who have listened and downloaded the first three episodes. Like I said, we are a little bit behind schedule. We will be going two once a week, starting with this episode. We were kind of behind. I had delays with Apple and all those other programs. But thank you for your patience. But moving forward, we will be going once a week. I haven't decided exactly what day yet, but it'll be either a Wednesday or a Thursday where we will release new episodes. I want to thank you, first of all, a lot of feedback. I was actually pretty surprised with the feedback that we've been getting with the email. And for those of you who are not aware, we have set up an email for your inquiries, thefamybusiness.chat at gmail.com. We got a couple messages, believe it or not, uh this week. A lot of it was more just encouraging, thanking us for, you know, not being scared of being canceled and having the opinions that a lot of people have, but they're just too afraid to say it. Uh, you know, especially um which is funny because episode three, to me, I thought was if you want to say controversial, I think that was the most controversial, and not many people have heard that one yet. So, so I'm interested to get your feedback on episode three, but thank you for the feedback, it means a lot. Um but yeah, you ready for episode four? Let's do it. Alright, well, right off the hop, we are gonna get into it. Um I just have a couple of quick, quick news headlines before we get into discussions. Uh, but obviously, everyone knows the number one story going around the world is obviously the war in Iran. Um it I guess it was supposed to be Israel versus Iran, but now it's turned into USA versus Iran, if you really want to argue that. But basically, all just a quick headline, just to get your quick opinion on this. Iran refuses Trump's new ceasefire. All right. And Trump vows, I love this quote. Trump vows to obliterate Iran and send them back to the stone ages. Now we are recording this on the 6th of April, and the last thing I saw, this could happen as soon as Tuesday, so tomorrow. So this episode might be released and Iran might not exist anymore. Is that a stretch? Probably, let's be honest. But all I'm saying is if there's anybody, anybody who will throw a threat like that and actually follow through, it is Donald J. Trump.
SPEAKER_02Well, he'd have no choice at that point. That's why I think that he's really threatening them hard, because that's that's his, you know, no pun intended, but that's his trump card. So if he if he says, look, I'm gonna destroy every bridge, now if they call him out on it, it's almost like he has no choice. He's gonna have to bomb he's got too much pride not to do it. Exactly. So if he if he doesn't bomb the snot out of him, then then oh, he's breakable. He's uh so he has to show a strong front. I think that in the 11th hour, uh, the Persians, uh not when you say Iran, the uh the mullahs and all that, I don't even look at them. Right. Um I I wonder if remember we we don't know what's going on. There could be a coup, a current coup right now, with a Persian leader that want to say, you know, yes, we are going to negotiate. Let's get rid of these bums that have been uh destroying us for 47 years. You see, when you said you said uh, you know, there's a war going on. This war has been going on for 47 years. Right, right. So it it's really, and you know, a lot of the uh Karen's say, oh well, Trump promised not to start any new wars. He didn't, he's just finishing it.
SPEAKER_00See, but I think the thing that people need to realize, and you can correct me if I'm wrong. Trump is not going after Iran. Trump loves the real Iran. Trump is going after the current regime of Iran. I think Trump would want nothing more but to get the Persians back and taking Iran over. It's the it's the whole, it's the regime, it's the it's I hate to say it, it's the Muslims, it's the Sharia law, it's all that. That's what Trump is battling against. You know, and unfortunately, you know, when you're going against the country who uh against the regime who stole the country, you know, that narrative's gonna be flipped that. Oh, Trump hates all all of Iran. No, he doesn't hate all of Iran. Right? He hates the regime for what it represents and what it stands for. As a matter of fact, so should all of you. I do too.
SPEAKER_02Well, keep in mind, he did tell the Iranian people, this government is yours to take back.
unknownYes.
SPEAKER_00He did say that in his and who's he referring to in that? It would be the Persians. 100% right. Well, we got we're gonna talk more about Trump uh moving forward um in the in this episode. But one one little feel-good story I want to talk about. Obviously, you know, our family being a dog family and stuff like that. So, this is article. The article is lost dog reunited with owner, rescued by a helicopter after a week in New Zealand forest. Oh, wow. Okay, so I'm just gonna read the article quickly. A border collie named Molly was rescued from the wild New Zealand bush one week after her owner fell from a 55-meter waterfall and was forced to evacuate without her when the dog couldn't be found at the time of rescue. An emergency rescue helicopter found Jessica Johnson with bruises and lacerations after a fall at a remote rocky spot at the waterfall on New Zealand's South Island. She was airlifted on March 24th and forced to leave without Molly. I mean, that right there, as a dog owner. I mean, that's just crushing. Um, helicopter pilot Matt Newton, the owner operator of Precision Helicopters New Zealand, took it upon himself to help find the missing dog. So this is his quote. I contacted her in the hospital and said I'd go look for it. Uh I went and looked for the dog several times and nothing. Couldn't find him. That's when Newton and his family, so this is the pilot, Newton, uh, launched a fundraiser to pay for more flying hours and advanced search gear in order to reunite Molly with her owner. Nice. Strangers came together and raised over $11,000 for a search, and Newton was able to fund three more hours in the helicopter, also using thermal imaging. Oh, nice. Noon was joined by a veterinarian nurse who volunteered her time, and volunteer searchers, and also a special dog named Bingo to help search for Molly. Nice. Molly was found Tuesday, just a few meters from the spot where the owner had fallen. And this is a quote made from Newton. We struck jackpot within about an hour. As we made our way up the river, we could see the dog in the thermal, and then we could visually see it. Uh the helicopter was able to drop low enough for a volunteer to disembark with the rescue dog Bingo to help guide Molly to safety. Uh, the quote from the volunteer is Sh the dog knew exactly what we were up to. She behaved real well, she didn't run away, and she was pleased to be rescued. Thank you for everybody who donated a volunteer to help. The success of saving Molly. Uh, saving Molly would not have been possible without this joint effort. What a happy ending to reunite her with Jess after her accident. One week lost in the wild, Molly was happy to be home. The pilot said that Molly was in surprisingly good condition and reported back to the helicopter base where other volunteers were waiting their turn to search for Molly. So instead, you know, they had a big barbecue, they celebrated, and so I just think that was a cool little little story. They have photos of the owner being reunited and all that. And so I just thought that was a pretty pretty cool story to share. One last one last story before we get into it. Um, very interesting. So I don't know if you knew this, but in Canada, you can actually get paid to donate your sperm. Really? Yeah, you can get paid in certain provinces, you can donate uh your sperm, and you get I I don't know the exact amount. Okay. Long story short, over the past 40 years, one individual uh donated up to a hundred different times, donated his sperm. Okay. Obviously, he's not somebody who cares about children or whatever, and he just says, I just want the money, so I'm gonna donate my sperm. There's now a new documentary that is coming out, and he has 60 biological children, and this and what they're doing is with this um with this um what am I looking for documentary is they're gonna reunite him and he's gonna meet all sixty of his quote unquote children, right, that he I guess helped produce. So to a certain point, like my opinion on this is can you donate your sperm? As far as I'm concerned, yes, it's your sperm, but you don't, as dumb as this is gonna sound, you don't really own that sperm anymore. Is that is that wrong to say? Well, it's not yours, because you got paid. That's what I mean. So it's like, do you even consider them your would you like if you donated your sperm for money? Okay, and you had no intentions of having kids, no intentions of anything, then you get a phone call ten years later and say, I'm your child. Not really.
SPEAKER_02Well, you'd witness a beating, your mother would probably beat me.
SPEAKER_00Well, I'm saying if the circumstances were different, right? Like that's not really your child.
SPEAKER_02Uh I mean, biologically, yes. I mean, it's the the evidence is there. Uh psychologically, morally, I that's that's that's really weird. Uh I don't know how to react.
SPEAKER_00I kind of want to watch this documentary just to see the reaction of all the children. Like there, I'm sure some are gonna be happy, some are gonna hate, some some aren't gonna care.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's it's you you have to understand it takes two to tango. So the mother didn't want a quote unquote husband or a man, but she wanted a child.
SPEAKER_00Or or a couple who couldn't have children. Or that that's a possibility as well. Right. But I mean, I don't know. It's just to me, it's I just find it weird. Like if you sell your sperm, yes, biologically it's your sperm, but that's not yours. Is that wrong to say?
SPEAKER_02I I I honestly I don't know what to say. I I'm I'm just I'm still still flabbergasted at people donating it. I mean, you know pictures I don't want to really. Hey, if you if sometimes if you're desperate for some cash, I guess desperate time, desperate measures, I guess. That's right. But that's that's that's pretty messed up, I think. I I don't know. I I wouldn't know how to react.
SPEAKER_00Right, right. Well, anyways, the documentary coming out in the near future. I'm interested now. Now I want to see it. Yeah, I don't want to see it. Exactly. That's my point. I think it's stupid, but that's I guess that's what it is. It is what it is. So dumb, I want to watch it. Yeah. So I'm gonna talk, we're gonna get into our first conversation here, and this is more for the Canadian audience than the American. Um, I want to go over what happened this past week at the NDP convention. Oh, that's shambles, yeah. Right. So, for those of you who are the Americans, you might not know, because obviously you guys have the Republicans and the Democrats, which for us would be the equivalent of conservative and liberal. Republican being conservative, Democrat being liberal. So in Canada, we also have this third party, uh, who actually in the last election basically got demolished. I mean, they only have six seats in the in the House right now. Um, they lost their leader, resigned. They're basically starting from scratch. Okay. All right. Uh the the NDP, that's what they're called. It's the Canada's new Democratic Party. Well, they had their convention this past week. And they elected their new leader. His name is Avi Lewis. All right. So he's now the new leader of the NDP. And this convention made the NDP famous, or, as some people are saying, very infamous. Alright? The NDP party are even more woke than the Liberals, which is a crazy statement to say. Alright, but I believe that they are more woke than the um liberals. So what they did, okay, they came up with this thing called equity cards. Oh Lord, don't get me started. So it was a yellow card, and if you were anybody other than a cis man, so basically a biological man, white biological, I should specify white biological man, you were given a priority card. It was called an equity card. And that could actually make you skip the line in front of a white man to ask your questions or to give your concerns on the microphone. Okay? This caused lots of controversy even within the own NDV party. Alright. So that was day one. Day two, all of a sudden, there were a bunch of different color cards. There was a green one and a blue one. Alright? And basically, they just kept adding things that would force people to skip the line. So for example, now not only if you're not um a white male, okay, if you identify as black, you got a card. And you could skip somebody who just doesn't identify as a white male. Then it got to the point where if you were disabled. Or the funny viral video going around, there was this white lady, okay, who identified as a black woman, who was a lesbian, who was disabled, who was also native. Nice. So she basically hit the bingo card on her priority, and she basically went up to the front, passed everybody, proudly said, I am this, this, this, and this, I I deserve to be at the front of the line, and they bought into it. Oh Lord. Like, to me, if you're the NDP, if you are a white male, white female who identifies as black, okay, disabled, native, and a lesbian, why not just that's that's the leader of the NDP? She should be she should have been elected.
SPEAKER_02But here, let me ask you this. I know you're you're still in the middle of your rant, but the NDP with all this cis and this and that, who do they choose as their leader? A white male. A white male. Like, why go through all those motions? It's it's it's very it's very scary uh that nobody's calling it out. Like, um like even the announcer, when he, she or they or whatever she or he I don't I don't even know if it was a dude or or a a girl. It it um and and when she was saying the when that person was doing the instructions and she said a word that made her stutter. I don't know if you know it, if you watched it, she said, and well you can go straight to then she had a st he or she was stuttering because she said the word straight. You don't want to piss anybody off now. Like, like give it a rest, guys. Yeah, like the like honestly, uh, and this is I mean you you you some uh people might start writing letters and all, and I it but I remember even as a kid that uh Ed Broadbent, smart man, but uh they were uh the NDP, they were never really taken seriously.
SPEAKER_00Right. Well, was it not I don't know who the leader was before, but was not Jack Leighton that did what? Wasn't he one of the leaders when I was growing up? Jack Leighton was, yeah. He was one of the NDP. Now, mind you, they weren't as I don't think they're as far crazy as they are now back then, were they?
SPEAKER_02The NDP were again, my opinion, okay, okay, which I'm allowed to have, those guys are certified kooks. Okay, so they were always like this. They were always like this. Now, back in 1990, they had this guy, again, smart people. Like, there's a guy named Bob Ray. He was the he was the premier of Ontario. And and this is fact. And if if you if you want to dispute it, look it up. Uh he got elected in 1990 because Ontario was pissed off with the Liberals, they're pissed off with the conservative with PC, they were pissed off at everybody. So Bob Ray won. I was gonna say, yeah, Bob Ray. He did. And what and there was a question that they they asked him, they said, hey, you promised A, B, and C. How come you're not doing it? You know what he said? I really didn't think I was gonna win. He said that. It's like, okay, we had Ray Days, we had no money, so they had to take they had to take days off. Oh, it was it was um, you know, uh, it was shambles in those days. And I I wouldn't want NDP to to be dog catchers, let alone uh, you know, a party. If well put it this way a couple of episodes ago, what would it take for us to move out of Canada? NDP. If NDP for some crazy reason won the election, I'm gone. Really? Yeah, that's even more than the liberals. Liberals still have a little bit of what you call some sense.
SPEAKER_00Well, I guess they're in charge now.
SPEAKER_02Well, they're well, we're not dead yet.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Uh whereas the NDP, forget it. They they destroyed Ontario. And I would be, I would be shocked if they ever I'm surprised they're even a party. And and you saw that, those clips. Yeah. It was a joke.
SPEAKER_00It was a bunch of you know, drag queens reading library books. But it surprises me, because like I said, I obviously don't really care about the NDP, but because it was Jagmate Singh, yeah. He was the previous leader of the NDP. Right. And a guy like that, who's a Sikh, he would stand for something like this?
SPEAKER_02That's that you know what? That did shock me. Because somebody like look again, to get to you know, this is gonna sound racist, but it's Sikh people are are they're not dummies, they're smart people. Yeah. So now uh I don't know too many village idiots that are Sikhs. Well, and the fact that he bought into that that was shocking. Right.
SPEAKER_00I was really shocked. So it makes you wonder Jack Meet Singh's career, how it would have been different if he ran as a liberal. Yeah, that would that would make sense. Because I know a lot of people like Jack Meet Singh. Like as an individual, I thought he was a pretty solid dude. Right? Well, he's not the villaginie. No, but I just didn't agree with a lot of his policies. Right. Right? But yeah, but this this whole equity car, it's it's all it's going viral all over the world. And it's they're they've turned into a joke. It's embarrassing. Right. But like you said, after all of this, and I'm actually the National Post article I'm reading, um, literally at the end, it's irony because out of all the mem all out of all the thousands of members who were there, over 62% voted for a white cis man to run to run the leadership of the NDP party. Satan himself, a white man. So how does that make sense after all of that? But there's just so many, and I encourage you to look it up, just Google NDP convention, and there's so many videos of like a white guy trying to say something, and then somebody pulls up their priority card and they get to go and they get to go in front of them, and then people, and then what happened? There was one instance where I thought it was funny. I'm sure there are people there who weren't actually NDP. Once they got wind of this equity card thing, they were making a joke. So there was this black man who put up his who a white man was speaking, black man got up his card put up his card, got to the front of the line, and then he invited his friend over to speak on his behalf, who was a straight white man. Oh boy. And then all you and in the background, all you hear shame, shame, shame, shame. Shame and these guys are laughing. So you know it was a joke. But the whole the whole entire thing turned into it's I'm trying to I'm trying to scroll quickly and find it, but they had all over the convention floor, all right, they had these individuals doing they had posters that had signs on them. And I'm trying to find it quickly here without wasting too much time. But they were, I forget what they were called. They were basically like mental health people where if you felt threatened or if you felt like that you were being um that your rights were being violated based off of who you were or what you represented or what you identify as, you go to these people, you can file a report, and they have yeah, it's it was it's a complete it's a complete joke.
SPEAKER_02Listen, this is what I'll say. If the Prime Minister of Canada was a um, you know, a drag queen, overweight, with a beard, and had a a pink tutu on. But if he can run the country and things are going great, prices are low, gas is good, you know what? I'll vote for the freak. I don't care. Right. I I just want I just want somebody out there that uh knows what they're doing. That's fair, it gets ridiculous.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, 100%. That's fair. Uh, they were called anti-harassment officers.
SPEAKER_02Oh, anti-harassment. Oh my goodness. What about common sense? You know what? It doesn't matter what you are. Come to a convention with good ideas. Get a good idea, and let's listen. Doesn't matter what you look like. It was funny, it reminds me of this. Uh, this was uh, I don't know if you ever if you remember this, it's called Mad Magazine. Yeah, I know Mad Magazine, yeah, yeah. There was one, it was Mad TV. Mad TV, but uh before there was a magazine. And yes, Mad Magazine, yes. And there was this uh real film.
SPEAKER_00It was a ginger kid.
SPEAKER_02That's right, yes, yes, yes. And uh and this said, you know you're an underachiever when? And when it was uh you're um you know wheelchair, you're a uh a black, lesbian, Satan worshipping, and you can't get a job. Right. And you're you're uh uh underachiever or something. It was hilarious.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but the sad part is in today's society, especially in Canada, they'll get a job, they'll get a job that they shouldn't be getting over anyone who should get it because of what they are. Exactly. That's the sad part. And going back to what we talked about last episode, and you really want to say there's white privilege? Really? Yeah, you really believe in white privilege? What a joke. Well, yeah, no, I just wanted I just wanted to talk about that because let's just say this. With all the excitement that there was about the NDP party kind of revamping, I think whoever planned all this, whoever won decided, like whoever thought of the equity cards should be fired immediately. Because they've turned into such a joke now that when whatever steps they took forward or they thought they took forward, if they took three steps forward, they took six steps back. Yeah. You know, like they're they're not gonna be taken seriously.
SPEAKER_02Well, not that they were before, now, definitely.
SPEAKER_00Even more so now. Even more so. Yeah. Uh moving on from Kenyan politics here. I want to get into religion. Just we haven't really talked too much about religion necessarily, or you know, because I know not everybody, and I respect it, not everybody's a Christian. But with what's going on with Israel right now, I've really been thinking about this, and I have a question. I did my research, okay? Okay, and what I mean by research is I have scriptures to back this up. Okay. All right. And even if you're not a Christian, I want you to go into this discussion um with an with an open mind. All right, because the question I'm gonna ask you, even as a non-Christian, I believe you could have opinions on. Alright? Here's the question. Are Christians obligated to support the nation of Israel?
SPEAKER_02Oh man, that's such a convoluted question. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Are I say it one more time? Are Christians, now mind you, I didn't even tell I this is your raw emotion because I didn't give you a heads up or anything. Right. Are Christians obligated to support the nation of Israel? And all I will say is this the r what a lot of people say about this is that they are God's chosen people.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but you're that's not what your question is. You talk about the nation of Israel, not the Jewish people. See, where where where people really lose it is that, you know, in 1948, Ben Gurion and all these guys, they they came up with the nation of Israel. The only problem that I I would look at is I support Israel because I happen to be a Christian.
SPEAKER_00And but but do you feel obligated to support Israel? Because you you literally just said I support Israel because I'm a Christian. That's right. I I support the Jewish people. Let's go that way. But see, this is where it gets convoluted. But this is the argument because people automatically tie the Jewish people to Israel.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but Israel is a country, it's not a religion. Yes. Now, if you go to you I've been, I've been there. Okay. That's a secular nation. Right. Israel doesn't believe in God. So how could they have my support? How can the nation of Israel have my support? They can't. Because they don't believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now, the Jewish people. See, the the the question you you want to ask is what is the whole point of the Jewish people? Why did God take uh uh Abraham, Isaac, then Jacob? He took Jacob and then he changed his name to Israel, and his twelve sons were the tribes. Okay, why? What was the whole point of that? Separate, he wanted to separate those people. Why did he want to separate them? For what purpose? Because a thousand uh two thousand years later, or fifteen hundred years later, there's gonna be uh uh a girl and you know named Mary is gonna give birth to a son named Jesus. You see, that was the whole point of the nation of Israel is to welcome in the Messiah. So um I know a lot of uh uh you know rabbis in New York City that they hate the nation of Israel, they can't stand because they said those are Zionists. We have no affiliation with the Zionists, we want nothing to do with those guys. So, and this is this is within forget the the Arabs and whatever. It's it's even amongst themselves. Many, many rabbis say those people are not real Jews, they're not, they're they're Ash Nazis or whatever. They you know, so it as a church, I I support as a Christian, I would support Israel. I uh I honor Israel, but you know, they're not uh but they don't have any special uh like as soon as Christ died on the cross, that's it. Now they have to accept Jesus. They don't accept Jesus, they're not okay.
SPEAKER_00So, so okay, so then and so then after all that, yes or no, are Christians obligated to support the nation of Israel? I would have to say yes. Okay, why? Let me let me stop you. Let me it's easier. So the argument and the reason why I brought this discussion up is I saw this argument online. All right, okay, and there was I saw a pastor spoke about this, and yeah, they are God's chosen people. We have to support Israel and this and that. All right, and then another pastor totally rebuttal that and said, absolutely not. He said, they are not God's chosen people. Alright. Okay. This is why, and I'm gonna go into scripture here. Ask yourselves, who are actually God's chosen people? God's people are the ones that accept Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Okay. Okay. Uh verse 26, for ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. And Paul even further explains in Romans 9, 6 to 8, not as though the word of God hath taken none effect, for they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Uh, neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children. Okay. Just because you're in Israel, just because you're born there, doesn't mean you're a child of Abraham. But in Isaac shall they seed be called. Okay. That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Okay. Okay. God's chosen people, all right, is not defined by someone's ethnicity or someone's nationality. Okay. At the end of the day. They are defined clearly by those who have faith in Jesus. I mean, yeah, that's true. Therefore, this was pastor, and I actually agree with them. Christians are not obligated to support a nation just because they claim that they are God's chosen people. All right, I see your point. Um Because technically the true people of God, the true chosen people of God are those who have faith in Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_02Okay, but now if we were having this discussion at uh in uh in in Israel before the crucifixion. But the crucifixion changes everything. That's the thing, and that's where that's where people have to be careful. Now, was Abraham was Abraham a Jew? Sure. Was he? Israel started with his grandson. Abraham and Isaac really worked.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's true too, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so I mean, Abraham is the father of many nations. That's right. Um, but you see, the thing is this uh the the the uh the the the the people in Tel Aviv or Haifa or in Israel today, uh a lot of them have no affiliation with God, even the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Okay, they say Jesus was uh uh a carpenter, but uh he was a rabbi, but he's not the messiah. Right. But at least they believe in God. So I mean I would give them that little uh olive leaf. Uh but the atheists and all, I I have no regard for them.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02So it it's it's a tough, it's a really tough call.
SPEAKER_00Um to me, I guess I just the reason I brought this up, because it's like, you know, you as a Christian, you know, you have to support because then there's what's I should have brought that verse up where if you don't support Israel, there'll be a curse on you. No, if you curse Israel. If you curse Israel, yeah. So is that is not um supporting Israel? That's not cursing Israel.
SPEAKER_02It's not cursing, not not agreeing with, let's say, look, I don't like the way Norway trades wheat with China. That you know, there's so many different so uh with with the government of Israel, I'm not a fan. I I I I'm you know, um but you see, and here, and this is the problem, and this is where uh our listeners have to be very uh you know listen carefully, because I don't agree with the Knesset. I don't like the way they're doing, I don't like the way they they did A, B, and C. Now, does that make me an anti-Semite?
SPEAKER_00No, of course not.
SPEAKER_02Okay, but the way the way the world is going, if you say, if you question anything that uh anybody that's considered, you know, the the proverbial, I'm the Jew, well, if you don't agree with them, you're an anti-Semite. Right. That's where that's where that's gotta be uh that's gotta be very um you gotta be careful with that. You can I I I sub I support Israel to the point where they have a right to exist. They they came together. Okay, they stole land, they they beat up uh a couple of Arabs, this and that, but whatever happened happened, but they I believe they have a right to exist. Yeah, like from the river to the sea nonsense, that that's just stupid.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_02Okay, but they have a right now. Whether you support them or not, uh, you know, it's it's still it's still a tough question. I support the people that love God. But now, but what I will tell you is there's some preachers that say that uh the Jewish people uh are automatically saved.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that I don't believe. That makes that to me, that's wild. That I I totally because the Bible is very clear on salvation, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So that's where you got to be very careful.
SPEAKER_00No, 100%. I I yeah, I don't I don't understand that. Um, but yeah, no, I just want to get your opinion on that because like I said, especially around Easter with everything going on, it was a real big topic in the church this weekend. So, but no, to me, I don't think that you're obligated to support Israel. Uh moving on from uh Israel, close neighbors or neighbors, um we're let's talk about Trump again for a sec. Okay. Before I get into details, I'm just gonna say a couple words, and I just want you to give me your rant on it. Okay. You can you can use specifics, you can use um quotes if you have. American pilot rescued in Iran.
SPEAKER_02Uh what what there's so much to say. There's um he he was he was shot down. I guess uh, as Trump says, it was a lucky shot or whatever. Uh this is what I this is what I understand. Uh there was a massive manhunt for this guy. Uh they put out uh drones looking for him, they put out uh uh rewards, sixty thousand dollar bounty bounty on this guy's head. And uh and all I know alive though, he had to be alive. That's right, because he would have been uh perfect uh prisoner. Sure. So what I will say is this uh the first words that came out on the air, that uh uh I guess whatever frequency that they had, he uttered these words God is good. The the pilot that they found. The pilot that they found. So the gunman, not the pilot, yeah. And they said that uh God is good. Yeah. And uh and he they rescued him, and he was rescued.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so just to get a little bit more context for those of you who are out of the loop on this. So on Friday, Iran shot down a F-15E plane, which apparently, according to the Democrats, is more of an issue than the actual two people who are in it, which is crazy. Uh the one they both ejected on time. The pilot was rescued the same day, right? But then the gunman um was not. And it was very clear that he was missing. So obviously, someone like that is trained in these circumstances. The URL. This is like a real life there's that movie Lone Survivor. Okay, right, where basically these five these five soldiers get dropped off to do a mission and they lose all communication and they're on their own. Right. That's what this guy was. Now, this guy had one of those signal uh phones, but the problem is that where he landed, he was way too far down for the signal to be caught with anything. And he was smart enough to know that the Iranians would be looking for him. So he didn't want to just put the signal out, not knowing, no, sorry, knowing that I'm probably being tracked by other people as well. Sure. Here's the problem: he was severely wounded. Like apparently we gushing blood, lost a lot of blood. But of course, as they do, a very good job. He was well trained, well-versed, pashed himself up. Long story short, they ended up finding him, okay, and he climbed over 7,000 feet to hide in between the crevice of a mountain. And that's where that's where he was found and rescued. Now, the reason, you know, this might be like, oh, it's not a big deal. Like, you know, the Americans, they did their job and this and that, and you know, why why is this on the why is this such a controversy? Okay. Like always, no matter what good Trump does, the left will always spin it and make it bad. During the rescue, two Black Hawk hel Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and destroyed. American soldiers landed, I forget, certain aircraft, two of them, but because where they landed, it was soft ground, they couldn't take off. So what did they do? They do what they're trained to do. They destroyed it. Alright? Apparently, that's the big issue. Alright. Why is the cost? Why and the because the the b the big the big issue with the left uh in all this is it cost us billions of dollars to rescue one man. Why is that an issue in this? To me, I look at it as both angles, okay? This guy's a hero, in my opinion. The fact that he was 48 hours, alright, alone, no big probably very limited resources, because remember, he ejected himself. So it's not like he had time to go to his plane and get resources or whatever. And it also shows the world that the Americans have what it takes to go in, right, while being shot at, while being tracked down, and going and getting their guys out. Right. Like to me, this is a huge power play.
SPEAKER_02Here here's here's my take. Again, like we said in previous episodes, Trump can cure cancer, and they will hate him for it. There's nothing that the US military can do. Uh, and again, I uh what I understood when Pete Pete Heg Hegseth had a uh uh you know uh a briefing that the US military today is the strongest army ever existed on this planet. They are they are way ahead of everybody else. They are um see Trump can say we'll destroy every bridge, and you know what? They will. They can. Yeah, on his on his command, they can destroy every bridge in Iran. Boom. In a couple of hours, all gone. That's the kind of power they have. So the left is gonna whine and complain. Uh, but yet when uh I think five years or six years ago, when uh when they pulled out of Afghanistan, how many billions did they leave there?
SPEAKER_00And they didn't even destroy the stuff they left. They basically handed it to them.
SPEAKER_02You know what? I gotta tell you this. Anything, like it's gotten to the point where anything the left says or or does, you know what? They have become the NDP of Canada, of um the NDP of America. They have like the ultra, the ultra-left, they have no sense whatsoever. Right. And again, I'm I'm just stating my opinion of any everything that I see, everything that they say. And a lot of people forget that um there's a lot of videos of former presidents saying the exact darn thing that Trump is saying. Right. I I re like I I I'm sounding like a broken record, but Bill Clinton in 1995 said, hey, we can't have open borders. We are a nation of laws.
SPEAKER_01And word for word.
SPEAKER_02And and everybody clapped.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Trump says it and they boom. I mean, that that in itself is uh is is something to really, really consider. I can't I can't take them seriously.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, Trump actually pulled a smart move with all this. I don't know if you knew this, but they actually used the CIA tactic, they actually uh used deception to rescue this guy. Because they actually claim that they rescued both of them. Right. Yeah, that They they posted that, but then really, you know, they came up later that no, the second guy is still gone. But Iran, they tried everything. Like there's videos and photos of all these small, not small, but tribes in Iran around the area with guns and going into the going into the forests and trying to, you know, find this guy. And but just put yourself put yourself in the in the mind of that guy. He's not stupid. He knows people are after him. Oh, of course. You know, but just the mental capacity to be able to do what he did, you know, climbing seven. It's like a movie. Yeah. You see, you only see it in movies.
SPEAKER_02You know? Do you do you remember the movie Black Hawk Down? Yeah, I do. Have you seen it?
SPEAKER_00Um, clips here and there.
SPEAKER_02Not like I've never actually sat and watched it from beginning to end. But in the streets of Mogadishu, they took these U.S. soldiers and dragged them along the streets. And and uh as as a victory, uh, that they shot down American uh uh helicopter and all. And that's what would have happened to this guy if they caught him along.
SPEAKER_00Oh, he would have been he would have been tortured, he would have been for sure. Then Trump would have would have really had no choice but to just blow him up. Yeah. At that point. Yeah. So where do you where do you where do you stand? As of right now, as of 5 45, Monday night. Okay. If you're Trump, put your Trump cap on. Alright. I'll go get my mega hat. And yes, I own a mega hat. What you're Trump. What is your next step? Clearly, Iran doesn't want to play ball. Clearly, they're calling your bluff. The mullahs don't want to play ball. Well, at the end of the day, they're the ones who are the that's the only thing with I agree, but at the end of the day, they're the regime of Iran. When we say Iran, that's who we're referring to, because they that technically they are Iran right now. What would you do?
SPEAKER_02Exactly what Trump is doing. He's trying to negotiate, he's trying to get a deal done. Um see, I uh I think that the people, see, uh he'll keep he'll keep the mullahs in, but the people won't. Now, what's gonna happen? The people are start gonna start getting armed and they're gonna start having uprisings. Uh the Kurds in uh Iraq are gonna uh invade. I I think that the actual and I hope uh again folks don't don't judge me. I'm not I I'm not I'm not an Islamophobe or whatever you want to call it, but I think that the Islamic uh leadership, their days are numbered. I don't think they could have a uh they can't have a successful Islamic leadership there. I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00Not after this. So then in your opinion, do you believe that this will end without it getting nasty? And by nasty I mean dropping bombs and blowing things up. But it already has. No, but again, worse. Oh, worse.
SPEAKER_02Um, I honestly, again, I don't I don't think it will. I don't honestly don't think Trump's gonna, you know, level everything. I I don't think so. Okay, because he needs an infrastructure, he needs the power plants for the people. See, keep in mind, you blow up a power plant, you're only hurting the people, not the government. The government, they don't care. Right. So, and that and that's that puts Trump in a little bit of a spot where it's like, oh, if I destroy a bunch of bridges, we'll have to rebuild them. Yeah, of course, companies will make make billions, but uh that's not what uh that's that's not what they want to do. They don't want to be there for too long.
SPEAKER_00So you believe there's a little bit of heart still left in Trump?
SPEAKER_02Oh, I think he's got a lot of heart.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Oh, the he's he's not heartless at all. I'm just playing devil's advocate, by the way. I understand. Uh no, everything he's doing is is again, it's for the people.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I just find I was actually I was held the other night and we're I was talking with some random conversation I overheard, and you know, sometimes you hear a conversation, it's like a guest, stay out of it, stay out of it, stay out of it. But they were just talking, and I asked them, I said, hey, sorry to interrupt, I was eavesdropping. Are you guys from Iran? And they're like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. When my parents were, my great-grandparents were from there, my grandparents, we moved here. So I asked them, I said, What's your take on everything going on? And literally, word for word, they said, Oh no, we want Trump to blow the place up. We would rather go back there with nothing and restart with nothing than live under that regime. Well, there you go. Yeah. Right? They're saying, no, the real people, and that's what this person was telling me. Like, so for example, totally off topic, but we always say that the real Ukrainians, the real Ukrainians hate Zelensky. Right. And don't buy into this whole war with Ukraine. Okay. The real Iranians support Trump. Most of them, I would say, support Trump in all of this. Because at the end of the day, Trump is doing what they want, and that is to bring the Persians back there. That's right. Well, sorry, we'll get rid of the get rid of the current regime.
SPEAKER_02Well, there's a couple of I I go to a health club and we talk again, what we're doing here, we do there. We talk politics. We're not supposed to, but we do anyway. And uh every every Persian guy I know, they think Trump is the messiah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They love Trump. They go, oh, that guy's awesome. And somebody was uh was you know, uh a male Karen was saying, yes, but A B and they shut him down. Shut they they use the sixth letter of the alphabet. Shut, you know, shut your mouth. You don't know what you're talking about. Right. It's you know, um, I'm just very interested in what stories we're gonna hear when this all when this all opens up. Like the truth. Like the truth, right? And then we will be shocked. Yeah. Then and then you know who's gonna really who's gonna really suck is these other presidents that did nothing. Right. And and I think and I think Trump knows some of those stories, that's why they went in, and then you know what, he's gonna be a hero. He doesn't do anything half, you know, right, right. Bass awkward, if you know what I mean. Yeah. So um I I think that we're gonna be shocked on the stuff that well, I mean, we're shocked when we hear what goes on in Tehran anyway. Sure. But once these files are opened and then we find out what really went on, we're again, it's gonna make Trump look that much better.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I agree. We have um just a little bit of time, not too much, so I don't want to go too deep into it. But um obviously not to get not to mention any names or you know, personal or stuff like that, but I'm really concerned, I want to get your opinion as someone who raised a bunch of children, sent their children to the public school system, and the way that the public school system is shifting. Okay, and what I mean by that is the homosexuality in the schools, the transgenderism in the schools, the identifying as dogs and cats and putting kitty litter, human-sized kitty litters out in the bathroom so that people who identify as cats can go and pee in the in the litters. You know, this stuff is happening all over the school. My main concern with all this is, and this actually came up in the NDP convention, there was this guy who came out and is trying to prove to people that my daughter was two and a half years old when she knew that she was that she wasn't a girl, that she was a boy, and she's gonna start transitioning when she turns three. Alright. So my f and what's happening, you see it in the school system, is listen, I support, hey, listen, I I I'm friends with a couple of gay people. Okay? You know, it it is what it is. That's their lifestyle choice. I don't agree with their lifestyle, but I still love the person. And yes, I believe you can do that. But the issue with the school system is that they are opening up with open arms all all of these all of these people, but if you go against it, shame on you. They have the rights, but the people who are disagree with it don't. You see what I'm saying? And to a certain point, it's like, you know, like like I'll be honest, I'm scared to bring to bring children into this world. You know, we're already talking about if we have any kids, we're we've gotta put them in private schools. You know, because then even something in even as something as simple as, so I don't know about you, but we were taught sex ed at around grade six. Grade six, uh maybe end of grade five, grade six-ish. They're starting to teach about uh sex ed now in grade two. And not only that, lesbians, gay, transgenderism, all this kind of stuff. And listen, you might say that, you know, I'm living in a false reality because that's the world we live in now. And but no, I'm you know, I'm just I don't want my children to learn that stuff. I'm against that stuff. I believe, and this is I'm gonna get many emails for saying this, I believe, just like being a homosexual and just like uh being transgendered, you got real mental health problems. That's your opinion. It's my opinion. Yeah, okay. Right, which I'm I'm still allowed to have in this country for now. Right? So, but I don't want you inflicting that onto my child or my I've got a couple nieces and nephews, onto them. You know, like where where's the line between, all right, we accept you guys, but don't force what you believe on us. And if we're against it, don't make don't make them feel like they're they're doing something wrong by being against it. Because it's not, it's not wrong to be against it.
SPEAKER_02Well, you see, you you you have you have your opinions, you have your beliefs. Okay, now the uh the people at the Board of Education uh they don't want to offend anyone. But when you have five people in a room, you're gonna have six opinions, and you're gonna have to uh you will you will offend people, and then like Matt Gates says, I love it. Be offended, be offended. Okay, so now this is this is the way I look at it. Uh yeah, for me it was grade six and grade six and seven, and I was I I when I found out I was shocked.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Okay, now here's the thing. Um God has blessed me with a phenomenal memory, and I can tell you each teacher I've had since JK, I can tell you the students in the class, I can tell you um I can tell you everything. Now, I'm going, I'm putting myself in my nine-year-old brain. Okay, I'm living my nine-year- my nine I'm nine again. And I remember how devastated I was because one April afternoon, a buddy of mine wasn't in class. Why? Because he had the flu. We were having a soccer game with the other other class against the other class, yeah. Against the other class, classic ravalry growing up. Yeah, exactly. I remember I remember exactly where I sat. I'll draw you a picture, I'll tell you exactly where and and then my my buddy Stuart, he wasn't in class, he was a good soccer player, and I was devastated. I was devastated because he wasn't in class. I was upset. Now I was a boy, so I couldn't cry because we're men, you know. Sure. But I was I was close to tears because we weren't gonna do good without Stuart there. So we, you know, we go to we go to recess, we played, you know, we played, we lost. Fine. Now that's again, now we're coming back into class. Now I'm I'm trying to imagine a teacher whipping out a banana and putting a condom on it. Yeah. I'm telling you, that would that would alter my mind. That would totally screw me up. I don't think I could handle it at that age. I was already devastated that a guy wasn't in class. Now to to explain this, explain two daddies and why does Jimmy have two mommies and you know, like what guys, what the hell are you doing? What's wrong with this system? Yeah, like it does not belong in class. I like my grandchildren, I don't want them to go to public school. I think public school is uh it's demonic. I I don't I don't know how us to say it. My opinion, let me underline that. My opinion.
SPEAKER_00Why why do a lot of younger people younger children get kidnapped?
SPEAKER_02Why they get kidnapped?
SPEAKER_00Why?
SPEAKER_02Oh for gratification of pedophiles.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay, but uh the process of getting kidnapped, why is it so easy to kidnap young children? Total speculation. Because I have no I have no experience in this field, by the way. Okay, um, because they're easily influenced. Right. Okay. Okay. In my opinion, I believe that you can easily influence anyone under the age of nine. Sure. 100%. So when you're in the classroom as a nine-year-old and you're being taught all these things, oh yeah, like you just because you're born a boy doesn't mean that you're a boy. You can be a girl and this and that. You know, next thing you know, these kids can get influenced. And they're so here's an example. So obviously I grew up with an older sister, and she used to play Barbies all the time. So me being young, whatever, sometimes I'd go to her room and I would play Barbies with her. My job's always the boy, right? But something like that, you know, if I if I grew up, and then I go to school, and teacher is saying, Oh, well, you know, you just because you're a boy, you know, but if you like girly things like Barbies and stuff like that, maybe you're really a girl. Then it gets in my head where it's like, well, I like playing Barbies with my sister. You know, maybe I maybe I am a girl. Yeah. And then it confuses the kids, right? And to me, it's it's there needs to be uh it's frustrating because at what point do we need to protect our children from people, you know, who, in my opinion, purposefully are influencing these children, pretending that they're you know, in instilling this doctrine, instilling this false narrative about transgenderisms and homosexuality and this and that. Like, right. Hey, do you like, you know, if I was nine years old, my b uh, my best friend, uh I'm not gonna say his name, obviously, but he lived two doors down from us. Okay. Okay, you know what I'm talking about. He was like my best friend. He was like a brother. That was before I had a brother, you know. Like, like, like, you know, like you do you love Todd, do you do you love this guy? I'll beep that out. Do you love this guy? Yeah, he's my friend, I love him. Yeah. Are you sure you're not gay then? Yeah, exactly. Oh, maybe. I might be. Might be. Yeah. I'm nine, ten years old, you know, this stuff's being instilled in my head, and it's making these children all confused. That's the issue. And that's my whole point, going back to my original. I know it took me a while to get my point out, but it's like the influence in the classrooms, the influence in the public school systems, and it's to me, the influence is demonic. Right? And especially when you walk into there's a funny viral video where it's like when I go to a parent-teacher meeting and the teacher opens the door and says, hello, and she's got like rainbow hair and glasses, and it's like, nope, closing the door and walking out. Like, and there's all those, and there have been many issues, more in the States than Canada, because like I said, Canada, people are scared to share their opinions, but many cases where these people go to their classrooms and they find out that their teacher is gay or transgender or whatever, and they say, My kids not, no, my kid's not going there. Switch classes.
SPEAKER_02You should have that right. I mean, but but how dare you? But how dare you? That's right. And that's the problem that that's painful. Right. Um, I I remember uh I'll never forget this. We were in grade seven, and we went to the high school to play basketball against another another uh grade seven team. But the the older kids, the older guys, were in there changing.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02And when you're in grade seven and you see a grade ten guy changing, and we're staring. You have curiosity. We're like, well, hey, we don't have this on our bodies and they do. Why? And we're we're like gawking at these guys. Right now, in today's time, gay. Oh, you're gay.
SPEAKER_01We were I'm staring at this guy. He you know, he had hair where monkeys didn't. You know, so like how does that work?
SPEAKER_00Tell the story. We'll end on this. Tell the story about your recess when when the the principal and the guy called you Oh, you know, I don't want to ruin it. You tell the story, you know exactly which story I'm talking about. Well, I I'll we'll end on this story.
SPEAKER_02Okay, well, I um uh I got his big shiner, and the principal uh said, What happened to you? And uh this guy punched me in the head. And he goes, Who who who did that? And I told him who, so he he he brought both of us into um into his office. And he goes, Did you did you uh did you punch him? Yeah, I did. Why the heck did you punch him? He called me gay. And uh so the principal looks at me and goes, Did you call him gay? I said, uh yes, sir, I did. Huh. It's a good thing you didn't call me. Yeah, I'd have punched you in the mouth. You know, get out of my class, didn't do a thing, nobody got suspended. Right, right. There you have it. Yeah, you know, that's that was a mentality. Now, was was the principal, you know, uh homophobic? No. He didn't he didn't care, but that's the point. You you didn't you didn't say those things, and then that guy closed my mouth for me.
SPEAKER_00See, and just to clarify, or make something very clear, I'm not uh you know what, I will boldly say I'm not anti-gay. Anti-transgenderism, 100%. I'm against that. To me, that's demonic. In my opinion, that's demonic. I'm not anti-gay. Okay, you can be gay. You know, I'll be friends with you if you're gay. That's cool. That's fine, right? I'll be I'll pray for you. I still think I still think it's wrong, but I'm not gonna slam the door in your face or not be friendly, not go and grab dinner with you, or no, that's that's no, that's no problem at all. But what I am against is when you force what you believe onto me and say if I don't believe it, then I'm wrong, or we can't be friends, or the whatever, then that's when I have a problem. You know, like don't don't, you know what, that's fine. Don't force, don't, don't force what you believe on me, don't force what you believe on my children, or whatever. Like, you want to live that lifestyle, God bless you, I'll pray for you, you know, but I draw the line where you say it's wrong for me to be against it, and you're gonna force it upon my children or or my family.
SPEAKER_02Well, that see, and that's just it. Um, where does it stop? Like, I mean, even like hetero guys, for example, some some like other parts of body, some don't. Like, everybody has different tastes. Right. So you don't put, I mean, it's you know what? That's something nobody should talk about. This it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, exactly. I'm doing business with uh somebody. I'm gonna do business with you because you provide a service, and you're gonna provide a service for me. Whether you're gay or not, doesn't I don't care, just do the damn service, yeah. And I you get paid to do it, and we we move on. Yeah, but but but to identify this, right? Where does it stop?
SPEAKER_00That's that and that's the problem. Like enough already. And to me, it's about protecting the children, and I think stuff like that needs to be out of the schools.
SPEAKER_02Well, look, schools, even schools in itself, for thousands of years, parents taught their teachers. Let me say that again. Uh you can do that again. Parents taught their children. Yeah. Okay. For for for millennia, children learned from their parents. Yeah. Only recently. Maybe a hundred years the government got involved. How's that working out for you?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, exactly.
SPEAKER_02Like all I know is this. I couldn't raise kids today. It's it's scary. I couldn't scary to think about.
SPEAKER_00I would be I would be in jail. Homeschool or private Yeah, but even I mean, in Ontario, at least, I don't know if you remember this, because my youngest brother, he ended up going to a Catholic school. Alright. But the year he graduated, the Catholic school board in Ontario passed a law where they're gonna fly the gay pride flag uh in front of the building. A Catholic. How is that possible? Like what? Because they want their funding. Yeah, but the government oh anyway, you know, anyways, yeah. That's another. Well, you know what? This we have a lot. There's so much that we can talk about, so much that we can um break down. But we're gonna end this episode. Like I said, if you guys have any any concerns, any any rebuttals, any uh pointers or anything you want to say about us over this uh this episode, please feel free to email us at the family business um dot chat at gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you. We're gonna end the show with a little bit of fun, like we always do, 1986. Okay. Right? Big year, graduation year for the old man. Uh, what were the top five grossing movies in 1986? Oh my goodness. All right, top five. I'm just gonna name a movie and I'll tell you if it's in the top five and what number it's at. This is based off of Grossing. Grossing, okay. All right, so top five. Any idea? 1986. I um 1986, I would say. To me, there's one obvious one. Uh, I can't I I'm drawing blanks. These made a remake not too recently, not too long ago. Again, I'm I'm drawing blanks. All right, so let's go. Number five, Star Trek 4, The Voyage Home. That was a good one. 109.71 million dollars. Wow, that was a good movie. Yeah. Number four, the Karate Kid Part Two. Never saw it. You haven't seen any of the Karate Kids? Not of the Karate Kids. Okay, they're not bad. Uh, 115.1 million. Number three, I've never heard of this, Platoon. That was, you know what? For a war I figured it was war movies.
SPEAKER_02That's that was a good movie.
SPEAKER_00All right, 138.53. Number two, rest in peace, Crocodile Dundee. Oh Lord. That was 1986. Don't even get me started. 174.80. And the number one grossing movie of 1986. I am shocked that you didn't get this. Okay. Goose and Maverick.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it was it was 86.
SPEAKER_00Top Gun 1986 grossed 176.78 million dollars.
SPEAKER_02I went to the theater to see that. I remember.
SPEAKER_00Crazy. That's nuts. You see the second one? It was okay. I actually didn't think it was that bad. It was okay. Now, so Top Gun 2, I thought was okay. But have you seen Gladiator 2? No, I haven't. Uh it'll ruin the first one for you. Okay. Sometimes they should just leave it be. And just for the sake of argument, just because you're here, oh, that was number 10. Uh, the top top 10. So going from 6 to 10. Uh back to school, 91.26 million. That was funny. That was a funny movie. Aliens, 85.16. The Golden Child, 79.81. Ruthless People, 71.62, and finally number 10, which in my opinion should be number two next to Top Gun. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Good movie. At 70.14. Yeah. That's awesome. All right. Well, that's a wrap for episode number four. Like I said, uh, the family business dot chat at gmail.com. Links will be in the description. Uh, thanks for listening. Apple Podcast, Spotify.
