Speaker 1 00:00:01
Okay, yeah. No, no, we just need a set of time that we can sit down and kind of work through logistics. But if you're able to come toward El Segundo, I can make it happen. But like, at least in the next week. And so let's connect a little later today. And we'll work that one out. Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 00:01:32
right well we got that 50 pound box so yeah that's why i got it so we're good.
Speaker 2 00:03:24
First game's great. Second game. Both of us killed this team. Six won them, five won us, you know. And, of course, they walk out of the field in five jerseys. It must be the one tournament,
Speaker 2 00:04:05
which just means that they've had them on the roster this whole time. Are all your boys playing one? No, Matty's playing three. So he's actually going from the B team to the A team. So it's going to be an interesting match. So the B team to the A team. So the A team's going from, and he practices with them too, so it's not like, so the A team's going from an okay season, like two, so they were going to go to flight one, but it's EA, ECNL, EA, those things are like club wide to a team, I think what they said is like, I know you want to go to flight one, and with this coach, I mean, whether it's stormy, but if you're going to go to EA, so, so anyway, so.
Speaker 2 00:05:32
Keeper. Just so we're. Bounces their kid is ten feet offside man coach goes offside rep, you know to the AR, He's talking to a friend. I didn't I didn't see it the other reps like no, it's okay.
Speaker 2 00:06:06
You know just kind of Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 00:06:13
Yeah, or was it not a fact that's alone like you guys don't have the camera on that one you can't use no no.
Speaker 1 00:06:27
I know but you can report it to the, Association.
Speaker 2 00:06:31
we've done that so many times it's no point right because there's a referee shortage ever since colin so and they're getting better but they lost all the whole game so first goal we were and we were out playing and uh we got this i hate how coach did this he doesn't know what to do if i.
Speaker 2 00:07:12
put him a center back and maddie's next then maddie can you know but as a center back you kind of stay still so we're good so another punt he goes to challenge it you know misses. You know, he's taking on two players, like two players come at him, and he's challenging.
Speaker 2 00:07:50
for the ball, he jumps in in the mix, next thing you see, pops out, you know, splits the two players, man he goes like this, and then he goes on and dribbles, you know, like.
Speaker 4 00:08:06
four more players went to that, it was just like the third game.
Speaker 2 00:08:29
Which we needed to win, since we lost by, we lost 6-0. So now we're out goal differential-wise. Right. We had to win it by four. The next, they doubled the coach, you know. So you're gonna go be with the other teams? It's like, I recruited you guys a new coach.
Speaker 2 00:08:60
This is my last game with you guys. Like, of course I'm gonna go. I mean, you didn't say that. Of course I'm gonna go take care of Mike, who still has a chance to stick in the world, in the state cup, you know. Good action. We roll up 1-0.
Speaker 2 00:09:31
We just shaved, you know, a different coach, new kid, new coach that's young. Well, half the time I tell her, oh, she's right now, like, you know, and she was the biggest reason, you know.
Speaker 2 00:10:03
Yeah. But she doesn't talk during, so she would talk so much crap on him that he'd have his friends, you know. There's no way that she could have, she said this thing at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 00:10:35
I'm not like those guys.
Speaker 3 00:10:40
So there's a point. Let me make a match. Oh my god! Why would you? Quiet! In the whole language. Shwoop. 
Speaker 2 00:11:00
And then the coach jumps in. Yeah, guys, if you're not going to say positive things, like, I don't want to hear it. You know? And we're down 3-1 right now. You know? Yeah. Almost 9-3. Game over. Stick to winning. You know, we're not going to advance. Excuse me.
Speaker 2 00:11:48
Yeah, he's gonna go on to the team.
Speaker 4 00:11:49
Right.
Speaker 2 00:11:51
So, coach said, hey, like, I'm out. If you guys wanna try out for the black team, if you guys wanna try out for the black team, you're more than welcome to do so. If you wanna be considered, stay out. He's like, I'm not gonna force him to do anything.
Speaker 4 00:12:24
So, um... Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:12:40
Yeah, so right now, we're pretending to try out so it doesn't look shady. But I told him six months ago that he won. Right now, he's at the backbone of 15 players.
Speaker 3 00:13:05
I want to stick with Chris.
Speaker 2 00:13:26
I mean, just so you know, it doesn't mean he can go through the tryout. Here, the kids have made it, so he's not trying out. We're playing the song. How's Eric doing?
Speaker 2 00:13:58
He's a good guy.
Speaker 2 00:14:41
All right. You know what I mean. 
Speaker 4 00:14:48
Like, can you remind my team over there. 
Speaker 2 00:15:15
Can you remind me? Which one is the better team. 
Speaker 4 00:15:20
I mean, can you remind me which one is the better team? You know what I mean? Fuck off, man. I don't care. .
Speaker 2 00:15:42
So we had a little chat about that, and then the next practice, a little kid that wants to go.
Speaker 3 00:15:51
In the basket, I'm physical, and the last one, I think the kid can turn around and walk away.
Speaker 2 00:16:21
I said, yeah, but you've got to realize, dude, if he wants to go, let's go. You know, he said, that'd be interesting. I figured, you know, Eric's kind of like, I've taught him enough about it. He and I, we're like, dude, how do we. 
Speaker 3 00:16:42
Christian attack. Don't agree. You can battle. Whatever. Yeah, right. Hey, you're personal. Yeah. You've only got two responsibilities. Fight. Both of us. You know. 
Speaker 2 00:17:27
that's all. Own your stuff. You kicked him. You admit it. You did it. Don't have to let him push you around. Don't steer it into what you're doing.
Speaker 1 00:17:43
you know it's funny because you're teaching him the high road but he's not wrong no but it goes.
Speaker 2 00:17:57
back to that whole thing of like vengeance is mine right i don't want to stop you i'm not going to.
Speaker 4 00:18:05
stop you from defending let's not steer it towards something um so we'll be back the uh the john thing.
Speaker 1 00:18:32
i don't know i'm supposed to be doing we don't like we don't have a lot of we don't have time.
Speaker 2 00:18:43
And we don't need to, necessarily, unless you...
Speaker 1 00:18:46
Well, if you want to be, like, if you want to have a conversation about what is, like, how am I reading the text, right, we could have, like, so, you have access to the shared document. Yeah. So now it's a chat, like, where we can chat and then ask ChatGPT to jump in at certain points.
Speaker 2 00:19:10
Okay. Yeah, because, I mean, the whole idea, like, I'm reading, I didn't, I clicked on your file, it wouldn't open up, the prompt that you gave.
Speaker 1 00:19:23
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:19:25
And then I asked it something, and it's like, oh, and it gave me an error, and then, like, I was going to ask you about something in the next conversation we had, and I forgot, and then you texted me, and you're like, hey, I just realized, and I was like, okay, then we're on a...
Speaker 1 00:19:37
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:19:40
Because, ultimately, like... you read the the response to your well i guess it doesn't matter um in order to read it read john. the gist of it is you're not reading it you're partaking in it right and you're now looking at it through the lens of christ um and so i was like okay i understand all that that all sounds awesome.
Speaker 2 00:20:16
now what and that's where i went okay so take me through it you know like what's our first step and it went so okay great we'll start with verses one through five and error it was like why is it erroring like well it didn't do it in the group one maybe it was the but it wouldn't each time i clicked on it it would it wouldn't even save in my um.
Speaker 1 00:20:44
Right.
Speaker 2 00:20:45
And my thing, now it's saved. Right. Once, once, with the group thing it is now.
Speaker 1 00:20:49
And it may be that because everything I gave you was like, it was kind of, read this file, and go off of this, and it's like, so when I shared it, it's like I don't have access to that.
Speaker 2 00:21:04
I think so.
Speaker 1 00:21:05
And so it's like, source material, I think so.
Speaker 2 00:21:11
So.
Speaker 1 00:21:12
And so, and even with that, like, if I, if I update it, I need to give you a new one every time. But if I'm loading in files and not chat itself, it's not going to give you, but with the group one, it might.
Speaker 2 00:21:30
I can do one right here.
Speaker 1 00:21:32
Try it. Did you see the thing with Ben yesterday? Yes. I was watching it and Ashley was like, what are you watching? And I was like, what is he doing? It's like, being a boy.
Speaker 2 00:21:51
That right there is Ben. Yeah. You can get Ben's entire personality right there. Like, he did it for 30, 45 seconds before I decided to, and then he kept it going because he saw me recording. He wanted to please me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:22:15
He's goofy.
Speaker 2 00:22:16
Yeah. Right? He enjoys being goofy.
Speaker 1 00:22:21
Yep.
Speaker 2 00:22:21
You know. You know, what prompted him to get on there, and you know, I will say that when I drive down a particular road and it's bumpy, I go, ah. Yeah. And I always send Maddie stuff.
Speaker 2 00:22:52
Braden Track Research Charter? Yeah. Oh, yeah, see? Chat GPT isn't designed to provide this. So that was the... So mine. That's the first one.
Speaker 1 00:23:14
You got the group chat. Is it sorted somewhere? So it should be, like, mine. Because your projects are up here. And then, did you accept it. 
Speaker 4 00:23:28
Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:23:30
Does it go into the projects? No, because it's a group chat. So it goes below into the group chats? Yes. under projects but above chat conversation this is usually sorted by.
Speaker 1 00:23:51
use at most recent right so like where I'm looking so projects good chats no chance it's in your messages yeah yeah cuz it said hey let's set this up for.
Speaker 2 00:24:34
you okay.
Speaker 1 00:24:39
so all right so you're in turn on the notification um yeah so this whole thing is just me asking it, what jesus gives peter a new name what's going on there like is it linked to these things and so it's like and tell me who agrees with that right like which commentators bring up the power.
Speaker 1 00:25:12
naming and so it's like augustine zero you type in and you judge you can see it on this one so, because any time knows who you're talking so if i'm talking yeah so it doesn't want to chime in if i'm talking to you yeah so no this is my first time and so i can so now you've joined if i hit at braden then i'll. come to you but then it'll let you know but like if you just chat in.
Speaker 1 00:25:45
nothing will happen so i just i'm not actually typing but um and so like let's see i wonder if i put in enough prompts um that it'll just do this for us.
Speaker 1 00:26:21
because they've layered in a ton of like this is what i'm looking to study with braden. It's slower when you do this.
Speaker 1 00:28:02
ontological meaning. So onto is like within itself. So if you make an ontological argument, you're making a, like you're talking about something that supports itself. So like when I'm doing apologetics, the ontological argument is let's just look at how the world is created and like build an understanding of the world based on it. Accepting, using already accepted.
Speaker 1 00:28:40
facts. Let me get it more specific. I know, but yes, it's within, it's metaphysics, but, it has to do with like. and so ontology is like let's talk about this reality so the reality of the world like so.
Speaker 1 00:29:12
i'll talk a lot about sacramentality what that is saying reordering i'm going to reorder the way of being with sacrament like so god reorders me as i participate in the sacrament and so i come into a new train of being by experience because he is the ultimate okay um okay i told him not to pull any.
Speaker 1 00:29:56
punches so you're getting big words no that's okay, I'm gonna check. but like so like part of what it's like well you can tell this person he's a peer freedom right, i saw something like that right because like so what it says i'll proceed uh oh do you like how.
Speaker 1 00:30:38
that's what it was this is what i told it you're gonna talk to him to peer like so part of it's just yeah i think, I want to give, so partially I want to give you a tool and a framework that I can go, okay, this is what I'm looking for. I'm bringing in, you know, my, oh, my formal education. I've done a lot of study in John. It has all of my, everything I've written. And, and so I'm accessing the things that I've studied and going, let's put this in there. And so when it says, like John is reordering the world with this, I'm saying, that's not a normal thing.
Speaker 1 00:31:43
You're going to get an answer. That's not a normal thing. John says, in the beginning is the word. We always go to, oh, it's just saying that Jesus is doing something more than, like, that's, that's this. He's not talking about God's thing. He's like God's eternality in Christ. He's saying like, yes, there's that I know you guys think that this is the answer to all of your problems or this again.
Speaker 1 00:32:19
Like if you just access this you'll have power, esteem, whatever you want But let me tell you what, so Lagos, let me tell you what Lagos had. It was in the beginning with God Because all this is created through him and he came here to us, right? And so that movement right there is not a normal, right?
Speaker 1 00:32:51
I mean in that you're not experiencing that with a lot of what you know, just you don't get that in church, And you almost kind of don't get that in seminary, unless you really poke on it and poke it. Right. And so, yeah, I'm trying to, like, scrape up, you know, from the, all my studies and go, it's all accessible to you.
Speaker 1 00:33:22
It depends on the questions you ask. You'll have to show me how you do this together. I'm still, yeah, no, me too. I'm still working on it. This is an experiment for me, too.
Speaker 2 00:33:36
No, but even, like, how do you, you know, that's one thing I want to take a couple classes on. I'm convinced I don't really know how to use CHAT-GBT, and I probably use it better than everybody I know. You know what I mean? Yeah. So.
Speaker 1 00:33:54
Yeah, but I mean, like, I'm just loading stuff into it, giving it files, and saying, reference this, it's that, and let me put some rules. As a project? As a project, I've got, like, in its memory on me, it has some of my more important writings as a reference point of, like, this is who you're talking to every time. And so, if I, if you were to ask it something about scripture, it won't give you the answer it gives me, because it, it's still, like.
Speaker 1 00:34:36
It doesn't know me. It doesn't know you in that way, but when I say everything I do.
Speaker 2 00:34:42
But it kind of does know me now that you brought me into the chat. Right. Because, like, a lot of times, like, I said it yesterday, and I'm like, hey, you know, what do you think about this email that somebody just sent me as a recruiter? And it's like, well, it's not really aligned with your operations roles. Yeah. You know, you want something that's more like, because I've vetted so much job search stuff. Right. Try to use it.
Speaker 1 00:35:09
So it's, in part, I'm leaning on into what it knows about me to kind of help bring you along. This is how we think. And my commitments are, and it knows, right, that my commitment to Trinity is always, these are the reference points that I've always committed.
Speaker 1 00:35:42
Caledon. of other guys and then sprinkle in all these origins and like so these are my pillars and so when i'm thinking about this you're referencing it yeah i've given it the rules and so whatever i do okay so i'll look at that and start what it gives me yeah and then i think so it's a really question.
Speaker 1 00:36:27
like you know when you want to ask like what the hell what are we doing what do you like what is the what is the project you want yeah and i think.
Speaker 2 00:36:44
you're doing it um you know i look back i always think back to i don't remember what i think it was a crusade when i first started through stuff like that i think everyone was a, shell i'm shall yeah maybe it was beating on one of those times but anyway so there was a point.
Speaker 2 00:37:17
where they said right now can we not come in any classes we keep on asking you to go here and you keep on going to those i said you know what guys like i'm not trying to be rude but each time it's a class a class who got this or a class about you know. how to walk you know as god to me all of that stuff is an outpouring of this and so.
Speaker 2 00:37:53
i just i just need to know more about the fundamentals yeah you know and then i just figure i'll eventually get there if i have here and so i'm kind of doing the same thing here and going i'm reading the same thing over and over again sure i see a couple extra things that i didn't pay attention to or i didn't catch on to but you know so how is it that, guys like blue guys like this or whatnot are yanking stuff out of there so let's let's figure.
Speaker 2 00:38:33
out how to don't mention my words up too much it's just obviously we need to figure out how to. slightly um but obviously you know so i just you know it's that whole like you know give a man a.
Speaker 2 00:39:05
fish feed it for a day teach him benefits right like yeah how do i fish for yeah and the answer is gonna be like and this is kind of the why why are we in this day and age right why is it that.
Speaker 1 00:39:23
right keller forms with those guys like when you're looking at like why is luther and calvin and it's different but keller's one of them i go to all these guys what what's in common with all these guys and what's common is, They didn't jump the gap and start it in the 15th, right?
Speaker 1 00:39:56
Like, we don't have, we don't get trained in our churches to read with the church. We've jumped into the last 100 years, right? We think that Piper is where it's at. We think that, you know, like, we want to go first to Matt Chan or whichever. Matt Anderson said something really good, which was,
Speaker 1 00:40:29
all of you like C.S. Lewis, and so you read C.S. Lewis. But none of you read C.S. Lewis. And so, like, that's part of what, you know, I don't know if you have done the formation of Tim Keller. but it's like the whole thing is tim keller was always always reading right it's not really that, when he was when he was at west when he was in seminary all of his professors are the guys that.
Speaker 1 00:41:04
i'm like oh those those are the goats right right um rc sprawl married him right but he did like rc school doesn't even no no i know for me i know like like it just like elizabeth elliott was one of his professors right like meredith klein taught him you know and like where we look and say all these guys are what we trained him and what what we see in that is that what what keller does well is he sees the entire canon when he's reading right he's he's just sitting in the in.
Speaker 1 00:41:42
there and accessing when he's in galatians he's seeing this reference and going whoa, right that's going to take me down and that's what we see in the um like that's what we see in the fathers is that they're they have the broad range of the scriptures in their head.
Speaker 2 00:41:58
all the time right and in our in our problem not only do we not know how to read right but we're so just like what did luther do in the first three times right what did keller do right what do we do, yeah right even even you know books podcasts whatever like it's all i was saying it to somebody the other day or at my life group the other day and i think they took it as me going.
Speaker 2 00:42:30
bad means right i wasn't saying it's like no we're we've got nothing that's right that's right right and it's not like oh bad like we need to understand i mean the reason why i listen to psalms while i'm, work and stuff like that, just because I now understand I can program my subconscious, you know? Right, right. And that's what you're saying, like they've got it in there, they're programmed, their subconscious is programmed, so when they read this they go.
Speaker 2 00:43:05
right there.
Speaker 1 00:43:06
Exactly, exactly. I think there's a quote I was teaching, like why is the canon the canon to a bunch of high schoolers? And like I said, look, I can lay out to you the history of this, but there's one thing I read that tells me something about it. Why is the canon, why are these the books that are in the Bible and not those books? And it goes this way,
Speaker 1 00:43:37
the people who put it together say, I can hear the shepherd's voice, that's why that one. but i read that when i don't hear the shepherd when i read this one i hear the shepherd, and so like there are some rules that we couldn't put in place but when you're reading scriptures you hear jesus when you're reading other things you don't hear jesus and so we have to put, ourselves in a place where we can even know what his voice sounds like when you know we know what.
Speaker 1 00:44:11
his voice sounds like you just keep going to it and yeah they know it they might shoot numbers.
Speaker 2 00:44:20
or something that's right yeah yeah that's kind of the thing it's like that's my my whole like, we have we have cords inside of us and they get hit and go oh i like that right and and there's this drawing there's this connection meyer's email like i do this because, it makes me feel good like why do you think you feel good why does everybody feel good when they do nice things for each other right keep going you know holding that strength um you know and and yeah it's it's we're wired a certain way yeah and we just get you know and.
Speaker 2 00:44:59
you know told myself um i don't remember what the situation but it was like oh i'll never have something that nice or something like that yeah and then it was like not yet or you know, and then i triggered right and i went that was really that was awesome.
Speaker 2 00:45:37
because the not yet was in heaven i'll have some thought it'll be so much better oh yeah yeah and and i'm like where'd that reflex come from awesome it wasn't i didn't have to tell my sister right, it was reflex yeah and eventually that thought won't even come to my mind eventually it'll be like hey bro guess what's gonna happen to me right like instead of like oh oh you know.
Speaker 1 00:46:03
this starts sounding like larry the story he keeps telling the guy he's like hey larry i'll see you in heaven talk like that yeah we don't because it's weird but that's okay because those people.
Speaker 2 00:46:18
you know i think you're talking about my larry oh the best buy yeah yes he just quit his uh bible study group, Because he tried to convince them all to start evangelizing, and they said no. Come on, man. You just lost your opportunity to continue to guide this group. Do you have to win every battle?
Speaker 2 00:46:48
This discipleship is...
Speaker 1 00:46:54
Treating them like your kids. Yeah. Probably a kid. All of my stuff is going that way now. Do you want me to take that stuff for you. 
Speaker 2 00:47:12
Do you have trash? I've got a trash bag.
Speaker 4 00:47:17
You soon. 
Speaker 2 00:47:28
Yeah. I should play in something.
Speaker 1 00:47:34
Yeah, I was gonna ask assuming you're playing.
Speaker 2 00:47:46
I kind of assumed, because in Ashland's bed and I found, she's like, who are they coming over? And I'm like, John Knight. No, no. You know, so he probably won't. But I always, like you're always, you know. But honestly, it's only like this week when, you know, I can't remember the situation.
Speaker 1 00:48:13
Like it still hurts, it hurts. It hurts to watch it, because you're like... Yeah. There... Ow.
Speaker 2 00:48:41
Well, the quad? Or powerplant. 
Speaker 1 00:48:46
I don't want you to take it down a triple and drive it home. But if you want to... Well, we'll have to...
Speaker 2 00:49:01
I need my powerplant every year, so... And it looks like Candice isn't going to be able to deliver.
Speaker 1 00:49:07
I'll buy a case.
Speaker 2 00:49:12
Let me know whatever it costs. That's what we did last year, isn't it? We did that last year, didn't we? Yeah. I liked the quad, I loved the powerplant.
Speaker 1 00:49:36
Alright.
