Grabbing a whiteboard for me, so you might see midstream us gaining a mid a whiteboard and me writing on it. So let's see. We are going to cover uh the book of Ruth and also 1 Samuel chapter 1 uh through 7 uh today, and so just to give you an idea of where we're gonna be, um, and I as usual I ask for your prayers. Uh I'm looking for in your participation, just your thoughtful, prayerful comments, and uh that we're all as as Mason suggested, edifying each other. So, okay, so last week, um just as a segue, I know I I shared a fish story, and it was regarding my grandfather who had this beloved fish that um it died and he prayed over it and it came back. And uh essentially what happened is I inherited this fish as a youth in my teenage years, and this thing, as I had mentioned last time, we would feed it Cheerios, and it would knock against the uh bubbler and make a noise to get our attention. And so I had this symbol growing up throughout my life. Uh I want to tell you another story that my grandfather shared with me that will provide a segue to today. So this is um, if you've ever been to upstate New York, this is Schenectady, New York. This is where my grandparents and my mom grew up. Uh, this is where the missionaries found them. Okay. I remember I was seven or eight years old. And by the way, if you don't know where Schenectady is, it's in the Capitol region, they call it, right next to Albany and Troy. They call it Schenectady, Albany, and Troy, these three cities in the capital, okay? North of New York City, about two and a half to three hours. Okay. No go. Okay, no, I'll get thank you. So what had happened is um my grandparents had come over for dinner. We were living in Schenectady or uh Saratoga. It's about 20 minutes away. And after dinner, as they usually did, my grandparents would share personal experiences with the family of what was happening that month. And I remember, I think I was about eight or nine years old, and my grandfather, I remember gravitating to the dinner table again, all the food was done, and they were just chatting. My grandfather said, I need to share with you something that happened a couple weeks ago. And I tuned in. My grandfather said, because they lived in Schenectady here, he said, I ran into an issue. He said, he's uh a ward mission leader for his ward. He said the missionaries really wanted him to be part of a missionary discussion. They gave him the address of the investigator, and they said, It's really important you have an experience that we really have felt prompted you need to be there to share. So my grandfather felt very excited about it. And so he, on the day of that experience, he gets in his car, thumbs through his wallet, and realizes that piece of paper with the address is gone. He runs in the home, searches the home, can't find it. He then picks up the phone and tries to call the missionaries just in case he can catch them before they went on on their bikes to the location of the investigator's home. Okay? He can't find it, and he can't get a hold of them. And it's before cell phones. Missionaries don't have cell phones. So my grandfather proceeds to tell me that he did the only thing he knew to do. He knew that Heavenly Father knew where this investigator lived, and so he went into his truck, bowed his head, and said, Father in heaven, you know where this investigator is, and you know where these missionaries are. I'm gonna go driving here. Will you help me find them? And so he drove. And so, just as an idea, this isn't the neighborhood, but this is kind of for a visual, what it looked like. This is the residential area. My grandfather said that over the course of about 10 minutes, he took various turns. He just felt right, until he turned a corner and saw two missionaries' bikes, or two bikes on the outside of a home that looked probably something like this. He said a prayer of thanks, hoping that that was the location, went up to the front door, knocked on it, the missionaries answered the door as if nothing happened, and they proceeded with a lesson. And I remember at eight years old, I'm like, holy cow. I thought to myself, wait a second. Heavenly Father can do a lot more than I give credit, and I need to expand my mind a little bit. Maybe I should pray over things that I, at first reaction, don't think it's a Heavenly Father thing or it's within his power. Does that make sense? So something happened. Uh this played out four different times in my life. I'll share one occasion my wife reminded me of last week as I was sharing this with our kids. Um, the circumstances were that my wife was coming from New York to visit my family, and I was with her for a bit, but I had to leave to an event. So her and I are going back to Salt Lake City to the same location because we lived in Pleasant Grove. Okay. What had happened is I had the car because I parked it at the at the airport parking lot. You were picked up by your brother-in-law who took, sorry, my brother-in-law, thank you, who took her back to West Jordan. Where is he? West Valley. Um, the game plan was is once again, this is before cell phones. I had a flip phone. I didn't have internet. The plan was is as I was returning back to Salt Lake City, I was to call my wife and say, Cassie, give me the address, how do I get there? Give me the directions from the airport, because I didn't know. And the problem was, is when I landed at 12:30 at night in the middle of the night, I got my stuff, I got into the car, I called her, and she's not answering. I'm like, shoot. So I called her again and again, and I'm like, she's still not answering. And so I had my wife and our oldest daughter, who was probably what, one or so, maybe less than one, somewhere in this place called West Jordan or West Valley. And I didn't know how to get to them. And it wasn't of great significance, eternal significance. Maybe my grandfather's story had more. I just wanted to be with my wife. And I wanted to pick her up because that was the plan. I remembered grandpa. And I remember he'd had this story about kneeling in prayer bowing his head in prayer in his truck and saying, I don't know where these missionaries are. Can you help me? And so I said, if grandpa can do it, why not? So I bowed my head in the little Toyota Camry and I said, Heavenly Father, I don't know where my brother-in-law lives, but I know you do. Will you guide me to this location? Here's the problem. We're talking in the middle of the night. I start driving, I've never come north to his house. I've been to his house once. I think I remember vaguely what the outside of his house looked like because my wife was driving, and it wasn't one of those moments where I thought I needed to pay attention. So I just knew it was on that side of the I-15. Is that what that road's called? That's all I knew. I drove in the middle of the night from a direction I didn't know. And I remember just taking random turns and getting into a neighborhood that felt like it was probably a good fit. The problem is, is I didn't have two bicycles waiting for me because I had my wife's car. I didn't have the landmark. I stopped at a house that looked like a reminder of the garage door that I remembered. And I stopped and I just sat there and I said, There is no other marker here that I can that I can tell. It's 1.30 in the morning now. I've called my wife 20 times, hoping she would pick up at this point. I'm about to knock on a door, and this is gonna get really awkward. And I think I'm gonna wake somebody up because this is a shot in the dark. So I go up there and I literally get on the doorstep and take a deaf, deep breath, and I feel like the biggest idiot, and I just start knocking. I'm like, okay, what do I say if it's not them? I just prayed and found, you know, my brother-in-law answers the door, he wakes up my wife, because she had accidentally fallen asleep. She gets in the car with my daughter, and we head home. Did I get that right? Um, just a level set. This is one of those moments where one out of twenty I do good, and then nineteen out of twenty, she's like, he's an idiot. I'm serving up to you the one out of twenty, okay, just to really be on the same level here. Um, but that's what happened. This kind of concept played out three more times. On two occasions, the complexity and the eternal significance was much higher. That's for another time that I'll share if it corresponds. My point in all this is that you will have experiences in your life that you will find will cross through the generations. They'll repeat themselves. Take time to note them, share them with your kids, share them with your grandkids. You don't know if an eight-year-old is listening. And it has a tendency to repeat itself. I'm not saying that you're gonna make your goldfish come back to life, and I'm not saying that you're gonna find some random dude in schenecty, but it will pertain to you and it'll feel right in the moment. Okay? So let's talk about the content of today because we've busted through a lot. I swear, we go two weeks and we've knocked through a couple of volumes of the Old Testament. You're like, what the heck happened here? So I don't know if you know this, but we're over on this guy, and we used to be over here for like two seconds. Um we've busted, we we ran through the book of Judges. 30, 60 seconds. What's the book of Judges all about? Just so that we know, because Ruth actually comes to the scene during the time of the judges. These are not the same judges like the Book of Mormon, where you've got the reign of the judges. That's not the same. That's not how this works. Does anybody know how the book of Judges works? Why did they call them judges? Because this is the setting. Any idea?

SPEAKER_02 10:45

What do you know from the book of the judges? And feel free to open up the book and start looking at chapter headings. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:10

Totally. That's right. And uh as a result, they had to remember Moses' last charge in Joshua, and they all said, Look, Israelites, you've got to remember all the cool things that happened. You got delivered. All these things that happened in the wilderness. Remember the laws, remember the covenants that you've made. Now, trust in God, and if you're righteous, you'll be protected from all the influences around you. But if you're not, you'll have some issues. It's almost like the Nephite-Lamanite thing where every time the Nephites were idiotic, the Lamanites came knocking on their doors, so to speak. Same exact thing plays out here. So who are the judges? Because John's absolutely right. Things are not very well organized. You've got your own tribes in the promised land. Who are the judges?

unknown 11:59

Deborah Gideon.

SPEAKER_00 12:00

Good. Deborah, Gideon, excellent. Are they military people? Are they what are these guys?

unknown 12:08

No, with a name like Deborah, that's not very incredible.

SPEAKER_00 12:11

With an yeah. It sounds like Little Debbie. Yeah. I was just doing, never mind. That's a tangent. The Will Farrell skit of Little Debbie. But that's anyway. I was showing my kids last night. They're like, hey, isn't that the guy from Alpha? I'm like, oh, he's got some good ones. Anyway, that was a tangent. Um, Deborah is different than Little Debbie with Will Farrell. Yeah. Uh what would end up happening is every time the Israelites would do something stupid and forget the Lord their God and go after other gods, they'd go into bondage and it was the whole pride cycle. And how did the Lord deal with it? He brought a righteous person born in the land, and they reminded them of the covenants, and through the power of God, this person helped them get to deliverance. That was the judges. It was this constant cycle of doing stupid stuff, repenting, getting out into bondage, getting out of bondage, and the judges were raised up to help them. Okay? I absolutely love. Can you even see this? This is in the book of Hebrews. I love this. Can someone read the first? This is Hebrews chapter 11. It talks about the judges. Can someone read verse 29 to 32? In Hebrews 11, 29 through 32. Can you see that? This is a good summary. This is oh, by the way, book of Joshua stuff here. Now we're gonna go to the book of Judges, okay? This is Apostle Paul, is what they believe is who wrote this, okay? These are example judges that we just talked about, okay? Okay, and who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire. Uh, this may sound familiar for those who have read Lectures on Faith by the prophet Joseph Smith. This is an example that Joseph quotes frequently in that writing, Lectures of the On Faith. Quenches the violence of fire, escapes the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed violent, valiant in flight, and fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others had a cruel of mockings and scourgings, yea, more over bonds and imprisonments. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with a sword, were wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented, of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and in mountains and dens and caves of the earth. Not all of this has to do with the judges. Essentially, the Apostle Paul is saying, through faith, people just simply did eccentric things because they knew that God was there and they had a bigger picture. They knew that there were eternal things at stake. They were willing to sacrifice their own life, of whom the judges were part of that group. Within this context, Ruth comes to the scene. Okay? And let's go to Ruth chapter one. It's within the reign, I almost said it, it's within the judges, the context of these judges, constant apostasy, that Samuel the prophet and Ruth are born. And you get a glimpse that not all is bad in Zion. Because Ruth is showing you you've got some really solid people. And there are two examples in 1 Samuel 1 and Ruth 1, where women are leading the charge. And they are not the wink, weak link. Okay? So let's. Does anybody, and I keep doing this, I'm sorry, who knows the situation and circumstance that Ruth finds herself in in chapter one? What happens? What circumstances unfair does Ruth find herself in?

SPEAKER_02 16:43

Anybody know? Yes, Mr. Johnson. Yeah. Yes. Mother-in-law.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

Excellent. Yeah. Her mother-in-law's name is Naomi. Good. And Naomi has two sons. And they're around the Moabite nations. And there's a famine, and the sons die, and so does her husband. And so these three women are together left to themselves, like, what do we do now? And Ruth is not from Israel. She's a Moabite. Who the heck are the Moabites? Where did these guys come from? Any ideas? Does anybody know that genealogy? If not, so these are an important group. It goes all the way back to Abraham. Abraham had a nephew that he took under his wing. His name was Lot. And Abraham and Lot had all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Lot was kind of inheriting some of those blessings as his nephew because Lot's dad also died of a famine. So Abraham takes him under his wing and says, Lot, our peoples are getting really big. You have that beautiful. You know, actually he said, You tell me what land you want. And Lot said, I'll have the beautiful land on the, was it the west of the Jordan River? It was beautiful, it was lush. And Abraham, just to get out of conflict, says, You have that, you have the best. I'll take Canaan. Okay, this is the promised land that Moses inherited. So the Moabites were protected. When the Lord told the Israelites to go up to the promised land, he said, The Moabites, leave them alone. They're the children of Lot. I've got them, they're mine. The problem was that they kept following after other gods. And so they were apostate in a manner of speaking. Okay? And so these nations, the Moabites and the Israelites, were at each other for various reasons, but they weren't on the same page. It was almost like, are you sure we shouldn't destroy them on our way in? Yes, leave them alone. I took care of Lot and I'm taking care of his descendants. Readers digest, there you go. Okay? But Ruth is part of this group. Okay? So here is one of the most wonderful pieces of verses in the Old Testament. This is Ruth. But to appreciate it, what does Ruth have to look forward to if she's a single woman in those times? What are her prospects? Nothing. Yeah. She's desolate. Her prospects is if she continues with Naomi, she has nobody to marry because the rule at the time was, okay, if your husband dies, maybe a brother will take over. That was actually his responsibility. And Naomi says to Ruth, Ruth, I don't have any other kids. Even if I found a husband and had a kid, would you wait like 18, 20 years? I don't think so. I have nothing that I can offer you. And Naomi says, Ruth, go. Go back to your people. It's okay. You have no prospects. You have no land. You've got nothing. And here's what Ruth says. Does anybody want to read this? This is Ruth one, sixteen and seventeen. Please. Was this selfish? No. Why would why in the world would she do this? Why is she saying, wherever you go, I will go. Where you die, I will die. Your people will be my people and your God, my God. What is in her what's going on in her head? Because she is essentially running into what seems to be a dead end. Destitute. Her options aren't great. Why in the world would someone be so eccentric?

SPEAKER_02 21:24

Say that again? She loved Naomi. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:32

Because Naomi's in the same boat, too, isn't she? Naomi doesn't have prospects. Ruth knows this. So she's stepping in. Go ahead. Yeah, that seems to be the case because not only does she say, wherever you go, I will go, she acknowledges, and thy God, my God. This isn't just a testimony, a witness born that, hey, I love you, and that's true, and that was a motivator. She also is suggesting she loves God and she loves his people, and even if her prospects are zero to none, that's safety. I'm going there. So I'm gonna ask you: do you have things in your life that would create some challenges if you continued your discipleship or go further into your discipleship? Or have there been people in your life, your ancestors, who have made choices that also look eccentric like this, but because of their sacrifice, you're the great beneficiary as a result?

SPEAKER_02 23:00

Because this decision here is gonna echo through generations massively. Why in the world would you do this? So I I'm also gonna ask, why do this? What's the eternal significance of doing something like this?

SPEAKER_00 24:45

Why would the these people do this? Why would they suffer? It's because they had a view of what really was in store for them, and it wasn't about them. This reminds me almost of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. You see where I'm going with this, where they said, okay, if if you cast me in the fire and the Lord protect me, great. And then those those words, but if not, I will still, did he say, Serve my God or something like that? But if not, okay, come what may, God is good. He'll take care of me. This this life is so short. James.

SPEAKER_02 27:08

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

Excellent. Um, come what may. Okay. Uh she marries a man named Boaz. Boaz is next of kin. Very briefly, she this is a beautiful story of redemption, where because of her circumstances, she has no power to maintain land or other things. Boaz steps in as next of kin and redeems her. And as a result, they have a child. And I'm I'm glossing over some critical things because we're going to get to Samuel. Obed, AI created this. I don't know how Jesse felt about having a dad that looked like a toddler, but he must have gotten over it. But wanted you to kind of get the idea of David is what is that, great-grandma? King David? Uh Ruth, just to give you some context. And the line goes all the way to Jesus Christ. You have a Ruth who she didn't choose this road. She chose the disciples' road, yes. She didn't choose the circumstances that got her there. Right? It wasn't fair. It stunk. And yet she just kept going. And she was completely dependent on Boaz, who did the right thing, stepped in and married her. The story seems to suggest, not just out of responsibility, it seems like he loved her. But they continued forward and have a child named Obed. And the line continues through Christ. And so you will find yourself. Here is a redemption story where Ruth didn't necessarily do anything to deserve this. And she was in circumstances she could not control fully. She had to submit herself to an experience of being redeemed. As are you. And here we go, we've got Christ coming out of the loins. And that decision was pivotal for the rest of this earth life. Okay? So, one quick thing is as we're jumping over to another woman in 1 Samuel chapter 1, I just want to say that this kicks off a story of I don't know if you've seen is the movie called King David? Or is it just David? Is it David? It just came out. Uh the big hairy guy is actually Samuel, the prophet. It's the same Samuel that we're going to talk about, it's just when he's a kid. Okay. This is him anointing the great grandson of Ruth. This is David, according to this visual. Same scenario. And so here you've got two stories of redemption. One where Ruth didn't really uh, she didn't deserve necessarily what she had. When the Israelites, they were being a pain in the butt. Okay? And redemption comes to them. Alright? So, 1 Samuel chapter 1. I and uh can anyone tell me the circumstances of 1 Samuel chapter 1? How does Samuel come to be? Does anyone know who Hannah is? Anyone can tell me anything about the story of how Samuel came to be honest. Yeah, it doesn't work for me either.

unknown 30:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Like a Nazarite promise where it's like giving his son, um, and I think this talks about her fasting and going to the temple and um I I will cut his hair and I'll dedicate him to the Lord.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

Excellent. And uh just to show how bad things had gotten, this is supposed to represent Eli. He was a heavier man in his older age, and his sons were an absolute pain in the butt. And they were uh having fun with women in the courtyard of the temple, and so on. And it seems like well, the way I read Eli, he's a nice guy, he means well, but he has no spine. He's not willing to stick up for what's right and kind of hit his sons and say, guys, get your act together. And so a righteous man comes to town and says, Eli, I'm sorry, man, you guys are not treating the temple well. Eventually, you and your posterity, you're gonna get cut off. He goes, That stinks. And so they move on, right? He sees Hannah praying, Samuel's mom, in the in the courtyard of the temple, and he's watching her mouth, and she's having this soul-wrenching prayer, and his thought process was, she's gotta be drunk. Absolutely has to be drunk. And she's she hears and understands what's going on because he engages her. He goes, What's your problem? She goes, I swear I'm not drunk. This is my situation. And he just says to her, the Lord will bless you. And he does. And she comes back and fulfills her promise, and Samuel ends up being raised as a priest in the temple. Okay. Almost like the reign of or the judges, here is the next person in line. Samuel is that prophet. Okay, so some things happen. Um, the Philistines are the enemy at the time. This is an interesting story. Um, the Philistines are coming against the Israelites. And the Israelites, they have the tabernacle. You remember the traveling temple? They planted the tabernacle in Shiloh, and they said to themselves, we are not going to keep getting beat up by these Philistines. Some guy had a brilliant idea. I'm going to go get the Ark of the Covenant out of the temple, and let's bring it over, let's put it into the camp of Israel. It'll freak the heck out of them. And so the Philistines are preparing for battle and they hear a great shout in the camp of the Israelites. And people are asking, like, why are they so excited over there? And they said, it's because the Israelites have the Ark of the Covenant. And they're like, oh shoot. It's the same Ark that they came out of Egypt and destroyed the Egyptians. Oh, we're messed up. There's no way we're going to deal with this. We're we're not we're not gonna win. And then they started changing their resolve and said, no, wait, we are not gonna be subject to the Israelites. We're not gonna do it. And they doubled their resolve. And they said, This is kind of a pivotal moment. We've got to take it, take them down. They've got all the help of the Ark of the Covenant. We can't let this happen. And they went out to battle. And by the way, Eli had to give the okay to let the Ark go. So he lets the Ark go and he's shaking like, I hope this works out. And he sits on a chair and waits to hear word. Ultimately, the Israelites get slaughtered, the Philistines take the Ark of the Covenant, someone who survives goes back to Eli and says, Eli, bad news. We we died, we didn't get the protection we thought we would get. And by the way, your sons got killed, Eli, and they took the Ark of the Covenant. Does anyone know what happened to Eli? He fell back, broke his neck, and died. Okay? Freaked out. His daughter-in-law, uh, hearing that, she died in child labor. That all of her family, and that ended their line. Several years, no, I I need to share the funniest part. I'm sorry. So they the Philistines take the Ark of the Covenant, put it into their temple of Dagon, I think is how you pronounce it. They set it there, and then the next night the big statue of Dagon fell on its face, and they're like, what was that about? They put it back up, the next day it fell down in its head and its palms were missing or it broke in pieces, and they're like, oh shoot, the judgments of God are upon us. And then the people started getting a plague. They called it uh what did they call them? Emeralds? Emerods? Emeralds in their private parts. Scholars don't know if it's just tumors or hemorrhoids, okay? But they're having issues. So I'm I'm seeing these people waddle around with this stuff and going to the king, and the king's like, what do we do with this stuff? This stupid Ark of the Covenant is causing an issue. And the people are coming waddling in with their hemorrhoids or something. And they're asking, like, how do we get rid of this plague? It's the same plagues as the Egyptians. And uh the the guy said, I don't know, let's call the diviners, let's figure out how to get rid of this. So they said, How about this? Let's give back the ark, but let's make an offering. Um, let's get a bunch of gold and let's uh does anybody have the schematics of a hemorrhoid? Let's make some let's make some golden emrods and let's put them in like this chest, and we'll send the Ark of the Covenant back with some molds of some mice and some Mrods, and that should do it. And by the way, if we're just gonna dump them in that field, if they head to that field, we will know it's definitely you know of the Israelites. And that's what essentially they did. Okay, they were having a hard time. Um, so uh that's one way to handle things. Um okay, so the the uh so Samuel, let's get back to this more serious stuff. In 1 Samuel chapter 7, there's this interesting uh is it dichotomy, is the word? Whereas before the Israelites go out with the Ark of the Covenant and they assume that they're gonna have all the protection of the world because this symbol is all they need. It's a symbol of the presence of God. In this chapter, Samuel shows the true signs of a high priest, not Eli. He shows what righteousness and sacrifice look like, and he prepares them their hearts for true deliverance. Putting these things side by side is an interesting study. So let's read this and we'll conclude with a hymn, because here some of the words of come thou fount of every blessing play out. Okay? Can anyone read 1 Samuel 7 verse 3 through 7, and then we'll continue to go? 1 Samuel 7, 3 through 7. How does Samuel prepare them? Miriam? Thank you. Appreciate it.

unknown 37:50

And Samuel stated to all the house they will make, you return unto the Lord with all your hearts.

SPEAKER_00 38:27

He he gets them committed. He says, guys, get rid of your gods, the influences of those around you. And as you're thinking about this, think about our world today. How can you turn to your God, and what influences of the world should you get rid of that are distracting or turn your heart from full consecration to him? That's what Samuel's doing here. And then it continues, verse 8, 9, 10, and 8 through 12. I don't want to overuse your vocal chords, but it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:03

But people gave us nothing.

SPEAKER_00 39:06

He's acting as a high priest here, not Eli, who was errant. This is what a true high priest looks like. Okay, keep going. Okay. Did you catch that last line? So obviously, as you could see where this is going, Israel ended up repenting, they got rid of their gods, they focused on Jehovah, they repented, they fasted, they cleansed themselves. The Lord stepped in with a great storm, they put off the Philistines, but the Lord helped them with a great storm. It kind of sounds like the camp of Israel with Joseph Smith. That's what my brain went to. And then he set up this big stone and called it an Ebenezer. And he said, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. Here is another monument. Remember always what just happened here. Okay? So I'm gonna play a hymn, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. I've handed out uh some papers that show the lyrics. You will see a verse that says, Here I raise my Ebenezer. It's coming from this story. It's a story of a group of people or of you as an individual feeling like your natural self prone to wander, prone to leave the God you love. But this this song, this hymn is a prayer of, no, even though you have a tendency to leave God, please continue to show your willingness and stick with Him. God, take my heart and seal it. Will you watch the words of the hymn as I play it here? And then uh, would you offer a closing prayer after this?

SPEAKER_02 41:26

Hopefully I can get this going.

SPEAKER_00 41:47

Sorry. I may do it a few more times. I was supposed to help, not hurt. And I I heard it. Okay. Can you give me the note?

SPEAKER_02 42:30

What has just happened?

SPEAKER_00 42:32

Okay, let's pretend that didn't happen. For the love of Pete. End show. That was a good show. Good. All right, let's go back to this. You wouldn't believe it, but I do technology for a living. Okay, here we go again.
