Harrison Butker & Scottie Scheffler: Undefeated

Harrison Butker & Scottie Scheffler: Undefeated

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 149 - Harrison Butker & Scottie Scheffler: Undefeated

It's rare to have the entire sports world focusing on the words and actions of an NFL kicker and PGA Tour golfer but the last few days have seen Harrison Butker (KC Chiefs) and Scottie Scheffler (World #1 Golfer) thrust squarely in the center of the news cycle for completely different reasons.

We're discussing Butker's speech and Scheffler's consistently faith-filled walk and how both men have kept from being canceled in the face of a hostile culture, by living a life above reproach.

[00:00:00] As a woman, I think everything he said was garbage, but I think the fact that there were women in that audience

[00:00:05] that were not okay dude. And you're going to come in and tell us that's all cute and stuff

[00:00:09] but what you're really going to want to do is get married and have babies. Then you'll feel important.

[00:00:13] The following is a presentation of Hobson Media.

[00:00:17] Well who? It's not just another day, it's two day.

[00:00:26] This is the Church Pew Sports podcast featuring a group of pastors delivering bombastic

[00:00:32] takes on sports, life and faith. It likes to drink their hate or hate and eat their hate or

[00:00:37] thoughts. Take a knee.

[00:00:44] Lendon ear. And these are some of the best questions I've had to tell you that straight up.

[00:00:48] What is that special? As the Church Pew Sports podcast begins.

[00:01:02] And with that we welcome you into another episode of Church Pew Sports where we connect

[00:01:09] faith to life and sports and have a great fun time doing it. Bill Hobson here joined as always

[00:01:15] by Paul Miller, who is part of the evangelical free Church of America team at the national level.

[00:01:22] I think his office officially is on a delta flight somewhere most of the time but he's actually

[00:01:26] at home. He's like at home, right? Home game? I am at home and that's the first time you've said

[00:01:32] it correctly. I know it takes me while. I'll free Church of America. So, do you know why?

[00:01:36] Can I tell you why? Because in my other life away from microphones as I serve as a consultant with

[00:01:42] ministries most of them are part of the EFCFA evangelical council on financial accountability.

[00:01:50] So you guys got to get your acronyms a little more separated in my mind at least. But welcome

[00:01:57] homes. Good to see you in the in the middle of Michigan. How did you hear that Armin Ketayan who was

[00:02:03] in the little preview there? They're beginning of our podcast is writing a book with Jim Harba.

[00:02:08] Did you see that headline? Less than 30 minutes ago I received a response reply email from

[00:02:15] Armin Ketayan as I sent him a note and said, we had you on before we got to have you on again and

[00:02:22] he said it will happen. He hasn't started doing press for this book yet but yes we are I'm looking

[00:02:28] forward to that and every time I hear that little clip in there I remember what a great conversational

[00:02:33] storyteller he is I'm looking forward to that. We have a special guest with us today's been

[00:02:37] with us a couple of times before Paul why don't you want you introduced our our Texas connection.

[00:02:43] Yes our Texas connection and our Church Pew Sports NHL Insider expert Doug Helcomb

[00:02:51] was telling you guys off mic before we started recording that there's there's sometimes

[00:02:56] our people in your life where we're just seeing their face makes you feel a little lighter in

[00:03:02] your spirit and Doug is one of those guys for me Doug I see you on the zoom call and I miss

[00:03:09] Texas I miss Dallas good to have you here my friend. Good to be here and I miss you.

[00:03:15] Well we're glad to have you with us at two or three other times right you've been with us.

[00:03:18] Yep I remember right so for those of you who listen to the podcast on a regular basis the

[00:03:23] name of Doug Helcomb should sound somewhat familiar and he is in Texas and not just because

[00:03:29] of his connection to hockey but there's a Texas tech banner hanging behind him and it's got a lot

[00:03:34] of history with that school so when you hear you know harbors name and sound bites in the

[00:03:40] introduction do you have as visceral a reaction as Paul does because I think it's like nails on a

[00:03:45] chalkboard for Paul. I do not I do not but I admire his reaction.

[00:03:53] I admire his reaction well since you're in the mindset of of admiring people's reactions let's

[00:03:59] start off first of all for all of you listening here's where we're headed today all over the place

[00:04:05] we're kind of in the summer dead period where yes we can talk playoffs we'll talk a little

[00:04:10] NHL playoffs we'll touch on some NBA things but there have been a number of off the field

[00:04:17] headlines garnered in ways that I don't think anybody saw coming including in the world of

[00:04:22] commencement addresses from a kicker. Normally kickers are to be seen and not heard that's the

[00:04:30] attitude amongst most football players because during practice the kickers are over in their own

[00:04:36] world while the big boys are running into each other and risking injury the kickers are just over here

[00:04:41] kicking and so they're very rarely thought of as an important voice on the teams unless they've been

[00:04:48] there forever it'll win a Terry Jason Hanson used to be this way with the lions and he was kind of

[00:04:54] it's kind of the elder statesman because they have longer careers as kickers. Well Harrison Bucker

[00:05:00] has three Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs which has elevated his position in that

[00:05:07] market and among that fan base and Paul he was invited to be the commencement speaker for Benedictine

[00:05:14] the Catholic school and he comes from a Catholic background so so far so good right what could

[00:05:20] possibly go wrong yeah well what could go wrong is that he could speak very candidly about his

[00:05:28] religious beliefs and kind of his worldview based on his religious beliefs which has gotten him in a

[00:05:36] little bit of hot water I have a whole lot of thoughts do we I have the quote here unless we have

[00:05:42] him actually saying it so we can actually unpack what he said because I think that's part of

[00:05:48] the controversy surrounding the things that's so complicated. Yeah and looking for the best

[00:05:54] way to capitalize his speech because I'm not expecting our audience to go and listen to all 20 minutes

[00:06:00] of it. I found a news report I think it's on the today show so you know they're going to come

[00:06:06] at it with a little bit of a slant but this is kind of a I don't know one minute highlight real

[00:06:11] of some of the things that he said in this speech here we go Harrison Bucker. Some of you may go on

[00:06:15] to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are

[00:06:20] most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. In a controversial

[00:06:25] commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend three times Super Bowl champion,

[00:06:29] Harrison Bucker, railing against everything from President Biden to Pride Month to IVF

[00:06:35] and speaking directly to the women in the audience. I can tell you that my beautiful wife is a

[00:06:40] bell would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation

[00:06:45] as a wife. But, Cure also criticizing gay rights when telling the students to take pride in their

[00:06:51] school. Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it and had a message

[00:06:56] for the men be unapologetic in your masculinity fighting against the cultural immaculation of men.

[00:07:02] The NFL responding saying Bucker gave a speech in his personal capacity and his views are not those

[00:07:08] of the league. Some pointing out the Georgian native's own mother is a physicist in the Department

[00:07:13] of Oncology at Emery. There's the high-leg real. It may not have included the exact quote that

[00:07:20] you were thinking of Paul, but that would give you a kind of a feel for where he was headed. And again,

[00:07:24] this is a gentleman with a Catholic faith background speaking as an invited guest at a Catholic school

[00:07:31] commencement. So I'll let you and Doug drop in and tell me what thoughts you have and then

[00:07:36] we'll share some of the other reactions. We've found. Yeah, who's up first, man? Okay, so I think that

[00:07:42] the most interesting part of the speech that I did listen to the whole thing a couple days ago,

[00:07:47] the whole 20 minutes was that he was elevating being a homemaker, being a stay at home,

[00:07:54] a wife and a mom running a family and it felt like he was trying to elevate that vocation.

[00:08:01] And he did, he also said, you know, a lot of you were going to go on and do great things.

[00:08:06] And that's awesome. But I bet there's a bunch of you here that I really look forward to being a wife

[00:08:10] and a mom is essentially what he said. I don't know if that was the most controversial. He kind of

[00:08:16] had all those other one liners that he threw in there about everything from Biden and gender ideologies

[00:08:24] to LGBTQ to DEI, to the I mean you name it. And that's what makes it so confusing. But I think,

[00:08:33] you know, people don't know how to direct their outrage. So it just kind of becomes this big

[00:08:38] warmth sweeping condemnation or doxing or canceling of Harrison Butler. So yeah, and the cancel

[00:08:46] crowd would I think proudly wave the flag and wear the t-shirts bearing the word diversity on it.

[00:08:54] I mean, that's just kind of what the cancel crowd does. They claim the importance of diversity,

[00:08:58] equity and inclusion. Unless it comes to the diversity of thought in our culture that goes

[00:09:05] perhaps counter to what your thoughts or beliefs may be. We seem to have a one way street

[00:09:13] in the area of thought. And if you don't agree with, I guess, the masses, I'm not sure how to label

[00:09:20] the other side of all those topics. And I'm not saying that I would agree 100% with everything Harrison said,

[00:09:26] but I have not understood at all the reaction, the violent reaction that's come. I guess I should

[00:09:33] understand it given the state of protest and sensitivity and snowflake, and so all over the place.

[00:09:38] But it's been really quite something to see. Doug, I don't know what your observation has your

[00:09:42] observation been in the wake of his speech and the fallout? Well, I think a lot of what he said,

[00:09:50] because he did throw in a bunch of different views on different things, he was speaking to his audience.

[00:09:57] His belief. And so that was something that went large. You know, I can't tell you what anybody said

[00:10:02] at any of my comments with speeches, but it didn't make a lot of waves. And I don't think his intent

[00:10:08] was to make waves, but I think it was to make a difference in elevating. If you got your degree

[00:10:14] and your next step is to be a homemaker, he was trying to pull them up. And the result is

[00:10:20] everybody trying to pull him down. And I think all of his comments kind of got stacked on top of each

[00:10:26] other. And people just didn't like that worldview, but I love the response of Andy Reed,

[00:10:34] his coach, Patrick Mahomes, a red rater who, you know, he even Patrick said, I don't necessarily

[00:10:41] agree with all of what he said, but he's a great teammate, he's a great person, and I support him.

[00:10:46] And I think you can support someone. But there weren't a lot of voices of support coming out in favor

[00:10:53] of him for being bold and saying what he believed. And I think he kind of deserves a little bit

[00:11:00] of credit of saying he knew his audience, he knows his belief, and they were informed. And it's

[00:11:06] he didn't think he's okay if you disagree with it. Here's his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

[00:11:10] I'm no Harrison. I'm not him for seven years. And I'm, I judge him by the character that he

[00:11:16] shows every single day. And that's a good person. That's someone who cares about the people around

[00:11:21] him, cares about his family. And they want to make a good impact in society. When you're in the

[00:11:25] locker, and there's a lot of people from a lot of different areas of life, and they have a lot

[00:11:29] of different views on everything. And we're always going to agree. But I'm, and there's some things

[00:11:35] he said that I don't necessarily agree with, but I understand the person that he is, and he's trying

[00:11:38] to do whatever he can to lead people in a right direction. And then that might not be the same

[00:11:43] values as I have, but at the same time, I'm going to judge him by the character that he shows

[00:11:47] every single day. That's a great person. And we'll continue to move along and try to help

[00:11:52] build each other up to make ourselves better every single day. Pretty good. Patrick, Patrick

[00:11:59] carries a little bit of weight with that fan base. And for whatever it's worth, if the reports are

[00:12:05] accurate in the immediate aftermath of that speech and the controversy, the jersey of a kicker

[00:12:13] became the number one selling jersey in the NFL merchandise world in the month of May. Okay,

[00:12:20] these, these things are not coincidental and for the NFL to come out with that statement that

[00:12:25] you heard at the end of the news report. You know, he was giving his personal opinions and

[00:12:29] you know, the NFL does not so support or agree with what he said. Had he come out and given a speech

[00:12:36] proclaiming pretty much the exact opposite of everything he said, that statement doesn't come from

[00:12:41] the NFL. Right? I mean, they would have said, oh, go get them big guy. I mean, that's the diversity

[00:12:46] we're looking for. So this, this one way street you talk about swimming upstream in a culture

[00:12:52] with its shifting values and it's kind of finger on the cancel button at all times. He, he stepped

[00:13:01] out. And again, I'm not saying that I'm signing onto 100% of it, but when he says man, be man,

[00:13:09] yes, please, please, we need more of those. Here's Michelle Beetle, sportscaster.

[00:13:17] She falls in a slightly different camp than Patrick Mahomes. As a woman, I think everything he said was

[00:13:22] garbage, but I think the fact that there were women in that audience that were not okay,

[00:13:27] dude, and you're going to come in here and tell us that's all cute and stuff, but what you're

[00:13:30] really going to want to do is get married and have babies. Then you'll feel important. And I had to

[00:13:35] cut out a phrase of hers that included some language we don't use here on church view sports.

[00:13:41] Meanwhile, another sportscaster female by the name of Sage Steel with her take on all of this.

[00:13:48] Diversity of thought. I've been preaching that since long before I left the SPN and I will never

[00:13:52] start preaching it because that is what's right. Diversity of thought. By the way, I didn't agree with

[00:13:56] every single thing Harrison but Chris said, I know women, women who are close friends of mine,

[00:14:02] who actually are quite content and life without having kids, whether it was their specific choice.

[00:14:06] They didn't want to become a mother or they couldn't and are not peace with it. I know women can be

[00:14:10] quite content without being a mother. For me that was not a bend of case and I'm so grateful and

[00:14:15] blessed that I am a mother times three. And that by far is my best accomplishment and thing

[00:14:21] a most proud of and my the best job I'll ever have being a mother. Everything else I've ever done

[00:14:27] and ever will do comes like a distant tenth place not even second place. So.

[00:14:33] Yeah, do you guys think if he had just made the comments about being a wife and a mom

[00:14:40] and left all the other political stuff out? Would you would you view it differently or do you

[00:14:46] think the reaction would have been different if we could peel it apart?

[00:14:51] I think it would have been somewhat different. It wouldn't be as incendiary.

[00:14:56] And when it was been a big slow. But it's still out there and the thing that we live in a

[00:15:00] sound bite, you know, generation where it's just a little snippet is played and then I'm hearing

[00:15:06] other phrases layered on that he never said what her added to what he said and I think that's

[00:15:12] that's unfair but I don't think he's looking to respond and defend himself. I think he's just

[00:15:17] trying to make his statement and I think he rest more on his character than his comments and

[00:15:22] comments came from his character and his beliefs. He's very committed to his Catholic faith and

[00:15:27] and he was speaking from that two students of that same tradition. Yeah, so knowing that we were

[00:15:34] getting together for this conversation I started really looking around for the various reactions

[00:15:39] from from females in the media and it seems like because I was trying to pinpoint was there

[00:15:45] one statement that really really ticked them off the most and it seems to be connected

[00:15:52] to this idea that there is a high calling associated with being a wife and a mother.

[00:15:59] I could have, in fact, I almost did but I didn't grab it. Rich Eisen's wife Susie Schuster,

[00:16:05] she was in his studio one show and she went on about a two and a half minute rant about

[00:16:12] I don't know, I'm just over here pushing buttons. I couldn't ever possibly and it was like this

[00:16:17] what's the, we're a passive aggressive response to Oh, what was me and I could never do any of these

[00:16:23] things because I'm just a female. I don't know how you draw that out of what Butker said. If I

[00:16:30] were to call my wife into the studio right now and ask her, what is it you taught the freshman high

[00:16:36] school girls when you were asked to come in and teach a six week course to them on purity and

[00:16:43] on maturity and on walking with Christ. What did you teach them? She would say that your highest

[00:16:50] calling as a Christ follower is to be a God fearing Christ following example of a wife and mother

[00:17:01] if you have children. Everything else can take care of itself and you know professionally,

[00:17:07] awesome. It doesn't mean you can't do both and this assumption is that you can't be both a loving

[00:17:12] wife and mother and have a job. And I just don't understand the reaction but again, it's that lack of

[00:17:18] diversity of thought that just kind of limits us to a one way street. It's like a dog whistle goes

[00:17:23] off and everybody says he said what? And if you just sit down and think about it for a minute,

[00:17:31] how many families have benefited from loving wife and mother? I have or have not benefited

[00:17:40] from a lack of loving mom or loving death. And then it's there. And any cold out men as well,

[00:17:45] by the way, which is crucial. Men be men. Yeah and I think anytime you take a sound buy to

[00:17:50] take some, make a comment, a caricature, a distorted kind of caricature of what he was really saying

[00:17:55] and when you get to the bottom line of what he was saying, he was trying to challenge people

[00:17:59] to be more and make more of a difference in the greatest fear of influence in our world. I always

[00:18:04] go back to the Billy Graham coach about no a coach impacts more people in a year. The most people

[00:18:09] do a lifetime but ultimately the homes where the greatest difference can be made and he was calling

[00:18:13] people to more. Yeah, that's really good. Would it have been a mistake if he was given that speech

[00:18:20] at a public university? P. R. M. Stake yes. But I have a feeling he would have known his audience

[00:18:32] and he's a respectful guy. He's not a jerk. He's not trying to throw in truth grenades.

[00:18:39] He's trying to challenge people to more based on who he was talking to. I wouldn't have advised

[00:18:44] that just because you're not going to get heard, but you could argue his message is getting heard

[00:18:50] a lot because he said something. It's not being heard accurately with the soundbots.

[00:18:55] This is what you don't expect it out there. You know, I think the most telling evidence that he

[00:19:02] is a man of character who has the reputation that backs up the things that he says

[00:19:08] is when his teammates in his coach come to his defense. If they didn't, if they didn't have his

[00:19:14] respect and dug, you've been in enough locker rooms to know that there are jerks on some teams

[00:19:18] and in a brawl the teammates aren't coming to their defense. In a, in a, in a, in some sort of

[00:19:23] of a deal where you would go and help your teammate up off the court or off the field during a game.

[00:19:27] If they don't like it, you're going to help yourself up, right? And here comes the number one

[00:19:33] chief in Kansas City, your MVP quarterback coming in and saying, let's say it's a good guy. This is a

[00:19:40] good guy. We're going to talk about that idea a little bit later when we dive into what happened

[00:19:45] with Scotty Sheffler. So my encouragement as we kind of move past the butchered part is for everybody

[00:19:51] to realize that diversity of thought or just having a conversation is so much better than these

[00:19:58] knee jerk over the top cancel culture reactions that really makes you look quite small when you

[00:20:05] just default to that person has got to lose their job. There was a legitimate official editorial

[00:20:14] written in the Kansas City, what is it? The star, I don't know what the name of the newspaper is,

[00:20:18] but the news paper, Casey. It was not satire. It wasn't a letter to the editor. It was

[00:20:27] the editorial board of the paper calling for here. You're ready? The firing of Harrison butkir

[00:20:37] and replacing him with a female kicker from some college program who has a career long. I think

[00:20:44] of 28 yards or 38 yards that she's made. That was like their legitimate call for how to solve all

[00:20:52] of this. I'm sure Andy read a little bit of this. Can you imagine the game on the line and here

[00:21:00] it comes down and this one happens to be 52 yards. So it's just silly. Let's move from the

[00:21:07] oddity of commencement speeches and football over to the intentional honesty of hockey.

[00:21:18] Sometimes hockey players, and this is one of the things I love about hockey players,

[00:21:22] they sometimes say the quiet parts all out. I think it's fair to say that maybe Brad Marchant

[00:21:29] would be in that camp. Somebody who just, hey, unfiltered, which as a fan and as a guy in the

[00:21:35] media, I love it. Take a listen to his thought on intentionally harming and opponent.

[00:22:05] Any time you can get an advantage on a team, it's going to help your team win. That's part of

[00:22:13] the benefit of having a physical group and that's why you see teams go the distance with

[00:22:19] big decor and physical teams. And it's why you rarely see teams that are small and still to

[00:22:25] go far because they get hurt. It's okay so Doug was that the quiet part now allowed?

[00:22:31] It was but he's the guy that would say it and he's guilty of it, he admits it and he says

[00:22:36] everyone is too and I think the difference is hockey players are pretty respectful and even Brad Marchant

[00:22:42] who he's done some crazy things over the licking a player to kind of get under their skin.

[00:22:47] Licking. He licked a player one time in a scram and just anything to get under their in their head.

[00:22:55] But I mean it is a physical sport. There's a reason in hockey they do not disclose it's a

[00:23:00] wrist injury but they just say it's an upper-border injury body injury because people can be

[00:23:05] hacking at that wrist trying to get that person out of the lineup. So I think it's a physical

[00:23:11] game you're hoping somebody pays the price physically, but at the same time hockey players are generally

[00:23:19] they seem like they're even Brad Marchant like good guys who they don't want to

[00:23:23] ruin someone well-being. They just want to affect the outcome of the game and so I think he's

[00:23:28] being a 100% honest and now there's a lot of people that's their job they're out to inflict pain

[00:23:32] on the other team. Yeah that quote I think was reporter was asking him about an injury

[00:23:38] that he had sustained right? There was like a marginal play and so that was probably not the

[00:23:44] response that the reporter was going for when they asked the question right? They were loving

[00:23:50] that response. Yeah. Wow okay so where's the line drawn I mean we we in Detroit

[00:23:57] Redwing Country will always draw the line at what Lemue did to Chris Draper.

[00:24:03] You know many many years ago but it's still a holiday here in our parts when we look back

[00:24:08] at how McCarty took care of that a while later. Where's the line drawn what what is okay

[00:24:15] what is acceptable in the NHL world of we're going to try to hurt your star we're going to try

[00:24:21] to come after that lower body injury but but there's a line you can't cross what is it?

[00:24:26] Well it starts with a rulebook and there are rules in place and some of those are subjective

[00:24:31] but a lot of them aren't and you kind of trust that the officials and their suspensions and

[00:24:37] their fines that kind of put some checks and balances in place and then hockey's one of the

[00:24:43] sports where if you go make a run at a star player someone's going to make a run at you there's

[00:24:48] old West justice that kind of comes into play to keep things in line so it kind of places itself

[00:24:54] the line is always a little bit gray but the rulebook puts a lot of lightens as no these are some

[00:24:59] lines you can't cross. Connor McDavid very easily could have been severely injured and out

[00:25:07] for the rest of not just a playoff but for a very long time with the cross check in the back

[00:25:12] at the same time as another one to his throat now I get your coming after him and I get that in

[00:25:18] the old days stew grimsson Bob Probert McSorley somebody would have come in and cleaned up that mess

[00:25:24] in a heartbeat I don't know that it happens that way anymore would that kind of hit which I believe

[00:25:30] did result in a suspension for one of the players would that be something that even in the unwritten

[00:25:35] rules of the wild west of the NHL would that have crossed the line? Yeah that's a great question

[00:25:41] I think you know when the way you described it there you know a cross trek check to the throat

[00:25:48] Oh, it's a perfect thing. He's also being cross checked in the back at the same time

[00:25:51] like that just feels like you know there's some spots head injuries are a big deal the throw

[00:25:55] it's a big deal you know like you had a player that got cut by a by a skate it was a professional

[00:26:01] hockey player and and great Britain and he blood out he died you know there's some awareness is

[00:26:08] that are there but in the heat of the moment the adrenaline is so high I don't know if they're

[00:26:13] using logic and they're not consulting the rulebook it's just reacting so there are some lines and

[00:26:19] when you hit a star player like Connor McDavid not only goes teammates get out to you

[00:26:22] the league will because that's that's good money what help my dial stars out a little bit if they didn't

[00:26:27] have to face it in a round feels like you're going up in a video game facing a higher bigger

[00:26:32] super boss every time you go in an electronic blast now you've got McDavid and dry cycled

[00:26:37] you go after a star player and the league I think it's the look a little bit closer

[00:26:43] all right Doug so you teed it up right like we know your dial sky i'm still a little bit

[00:26:49] or about Jim now leaving the wings to get a little bit of a no-eye trust yes that's right

[00:26:55] if Martian is correct which of the final four remaining teams has the advantage the

[00:27:01] Rangers Florida does Edmonton who has the advantage based on what Martian said what did

[00:27:09] Martian say his whole thing about the physicality and walking the line of intent to injure

[00:27:15] and semi dirty play well you'd look at florida math you could shock is a guy like florida's

[00:27:24] a very highly penalized team they play with an edge I think that series between them in New York will be

[00:27:31] New York has a guy named Matt Rampie who is I think he's gotten more penalty minutes than he

[00:27:35] does on ice minutes and I'm not exaggerating like he's he's a monster human being he's physical

[00:27:43] you know I give the edge to florida probably because of math you could shock with Dallas Dallas

[00:27:49] is physical but they're they're pretty they play a clean game so if you're going to look at a team

[00:27:54] that's just going to be rough Edmonton has Darnell nurse who's pretty physical but

[00:27:59] a vander cane can sometimes cross the line they got Corey Perry and sometimes it's not

[00:28:05] intent to injure but intent to rattle and and I would give it to florida Florida there you go

[00:28:13] so I'm going to go handle all of Canada is hoping for their their savior to come out of Edmonton

[00:28:19] right that this is three U.S. teams in one Canadian team and there was it wasn't all that long ago

[00:28:25] when that ratio would have been flipped so obviously you're rooting for Dallas all of Canada's

[00:28:32] pulling for the oilers how did that most of Canada most of Canada's I mean when Vancouver still struggling

[00:28:39] can go how that series played out how to when did that equation flip though how long ago

[00:28:45] and how did it flip so that the U.S. in the NHL became the more prevalent side of the league

[00:28:52] well Canadian team as it won a Stanley Cups since 94 or 33 what it means 93 so so I was Montreal

[00:29:00] and and so that's their sport like that that is like not one of many that is their sport it's

[00:29:06] on their money it's it's practically their religion like that like this is the deal like

[00:29:11] but the Toronto Maple leaves haven't played a meaningful game in June ever like back when they were

[00:29:18] playing in the last rounds of the playoffs when they were highly successful that the playoffs were

[00:29:23] shorter they were happening in May like like I think Canada just wants it so bad so so but lack of success

[00:29:32] kind of kills that and so you have U.S. markets you have Vegas the outside where they last year

[00:29:36] that call a lot before that you have Tampa before that you have all these warm weather climates winning

[00:29:42] in the U.S. I think if Canadian teams not playing in the finals they're not winning in the finals

[00:29:50] it's all U.S. teams that cheer for. I know that there's a lot of revenue involved in

[00:29:56] an elongated regular season but I have thought for years that the NHL would serve itself so much better

[00:30:03] if it could get its playoffs wrapped up before the NBA playoffs begin so maybe it's a 60 game

[00:30:09] regular season playing hockey and watching hockey when it's 82 degrees outside just doesn't fit and you

[00:30:19] can see that by the ratings in southern markets where it's a lot warmer they just don't pay any

[00:30:25] attention to it it's such a parochial sport I'm not dumb enough to think that ownership is going

[00:30:30] to go hey that's a great idea let's cut our regular season by 25% but from a fan of Peel standpoint

[00:30:38] it just it seems like such a niche sport right now in fact oddly enough the ratings between

[00:30:44] the NHL and golf are not all that different and it it should be a lot different so I don't know

[00:30:51] was that is that a crazy idea to shorten it up a little bit here's the here's the area you

[00:30:56] can see even on the other side right my son Jake lives in downtown Dallas and he can spit off the

[00:31:01] balcony of his apartment and hit the roof of the American Allen Center and his boss has a skybox

[00:31:07] there so he just texted me his schedule of all the games he's going to be at like alternating

[00:31:14] between the stars and the madz in the playoffs next two three weeks so I think Dallas the Dallas

[00:31:23] market is pretty happy that both of those playoffs are in there Jared Jones isn't no Jerry's

[00:31:30] he had like the pressure right out Rangers one stars and madz in the western conference finals

[00:31:35] but a lot of pressure on the cowboys but everyone else Dallas is ecstatic yeah so I yeah I don't know

[00:31:41] what I I will watch if both are on at the same time I'll pick hockey just because

[00:31:48] so I don't know that's kind of my take on it and as hockey fan it ends too early for me

[00:31:55] I mean I I go into the kind of like what do I do now now that hockey's ended so I mean I'm in but

[00:32:01] I'm always going to be in so I'm not the person that the league is worried about trying to draw into

[00:32:05] watch I'm my my my my for mine and me my motto is in the playoffs if it's on TV it's on my TV

[00:32:12] like I'm in so that like they've got me no matter what they're trying to figure out the other people to

[00:32:18] draw in but everybody loves a winner there's just a lot more people that would probably love to see a winner

[00:32:24] north of the border rather than in the U.S. and I do have to remind myself that we're if my favorite teams

[00:32:30] were any good whatsoever and still playing I probably wouldn't have that same that same thought if

[00:32:36] I'd be just like you I'm like yeah bring it on let's keep going there's there's no summer dead time if your

[00:32:40] team still play it could you imagine if the wings and the pistons bill well we're still live you would be like

[00:32:47] doing backflip I didn't there was a time when I didn't have to imagine it I could just turn on my TV

[00:32:52] and watch it but now they're both lousy and baldy sports Detroit is lousy so nobody can see anything anyways

[00:32:59] the choice come and they're gonna they'll be there soon I sure hope so okay our third topic third and final major topic

[00:33:07] a week ago I get on Friday I was on the road doing my radio show and shooting some TV stuff for

[00:33:15] a Michigan golf live got up that morning and started to kind of scroll through

[00:33:21] social media the PGA championship was being held in Louisville, Kentucky at Valhalla

[00:33:28] placed that I've been for a writer cup before and I started to see what looked like a spoof

[00:33:35] an April Fool's Day joke in May which made no sense and that was that the number one player in the

[00:33:42] world had been arrested and then it wasn't that long after that I first saw that and you know

[00:33:49] I kind of shake yourself awake a little bit like wait what that can be and then here comes a mug shot

[00:33:56] of Scotty Schaffler in an orange jumpsuit well now I mean this is nuts my phone starts blowing up

[00:34:04] I'm getting called by radio stations to do interviews about something I have no idea what I'm talking about

[00:34:09] because I'm not there the whole thing is very much a surreal mess Scotty Schaffler goes to jail

[00:34:20] and in two hours the owner of the golf course Valhalla along with some other city representative

[00:34:28] and his newly appointed attorney who he didn't have an attorney in Louisville all of a sudden show up at the

[00:34:34] jail and now he's been charged with a felony and a handful of other misdemeanors

[00:34:39] the felony came because the officer detective Gillis whom I will address in my Holy Discontent

[00:34:46] claimed that he quote attached himself to Scotty's car and then was dragged to the point where his

[00:34:54] uniform slacks valued at $80 were damaged beyond repair and that somehow is what propelled this into the

[00:35:02] felony category again it sounds like the premise for a sitcom or something out of money python it just made

[00:35:09] no sense whatsoever nor did the quick release so now I got these even though it's laughable he's been

[00:35:17] charged with a felony nobody's getting out of jail in two hours after being charged with felany nobody

[00:35:23] because there had been an accident outside the club that morning in a massive traffic backup

[00:35:29] they actually delayed the start of Fridays round by about 90 minutes so Scotty was able to make it

[00:35:35] back to Valhalla in time to play in the second round a few hours after being arrested for a felony

[00:35:44] then he goes out and shoots like a 66 which was one of the best rounds of the day

[00:35:51] nobody could believe it and afterwards he sat down for a press conference where he began by saying

[00:35:59] hey listen I just I know you'll all understand this I can't really speak about what happened

[00:36:07] because it's still a matter before the law enforcement world so I just I can talk about the golf

[00:36:12] road I can't talk about it yeah so he starts out by saying I can't talk about it

[00:36:24] and then he proceeds to talk about it I can't really explain what happened this morning

[00:36:30] I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell that was the first for me you know I was

[00:36:34] part of my warm up I was just sitting there waiting and you know I started going through my warm

[00:36:37] up I felt like there was a chance I may be able to still come out here and play and so

[00:36:41] I started going through my routine I tried to get my heart rate down as much as I could today but

[00:36:44] like I said you know I still feel like my head's been a little bit but yeah I was fortunate to be

[00:36:49] able to make it back out and play some golf today and play some golf today yeah he went on for like

[00:36:56] maybe 10 more minutes where it looked like in real time without really questions

[00:37:02] leading him out they really weren't they were being respectful but he began to openly and verbally

[00:37:08] process what had happened he talked about how his he was shaking he talked about the friendliness

[00:37:14] of the officers at the jail and offering him sandwiches and taking selfies and all this stuff because

[00:37:19] they were so embarrassed by the actions of their colleague who had gone to this ridiculous step of

[00:37:26] arresting so I would love to hear from two guys who maybe are on the periphery of paying attention

[00:37:33] to golf what you thought of all of this when you first heard about it Paul what was

[00:37:39] well we sure he actually did all this mess well it made that day of golf we're interesting for me

[00:37:47] as a as a peripheral golf watching fan so there was that piece but I know I know Scotty Sheffler

[00:37:57] familiar with defect that he is a man of faith and that his character you know we were talking

[00:38:03] about Harrison Bucker's character I would say the same types of things that are true of Mr. Sheffler

[00:38:09] so I was mostly curious to see how he was going to respond and if he was going to you know

[00:38:16] if he came back and shot a 75 and missed the cut if he was going to like shoot arrows and blame

[00:38:24] what happened or whatever which ended up not being the case like you said he shot a 66 he kind of

[00:38:29] blew up the next day which is understandable but I was mostly interested in was he going to be gracious

[00:38:36] or was he going to be entitled and little spoiled when he inevitably had to get out of my phone

[00:38:43] and talk about what happened and he was class all the way I don't it's not like I know Scotty Sheffler

[00:38:50] but I was proud of him as a fellow Christ follower the way he handled himself in that moment and it

[00:38:57] made me watch it made me want to watch and see what was going to happen and Doug he's a Texas guy

[00:39:03] he is University of Texas guy but lives in Texas you know I was reading for him with the masters

[00:39:10] and he won and just love his story and went straight home from there as a baby so wife has a baby

[00:39:16] either first child you know and I'm like man the first child first you know I guess it's the first

[00:39:22] tournament maybe after the baby's born like is that goes to the child's dad goes to jail like what in the

[00:39:27] world when it was unfolding I was I was sitting I lead a Bible study on Friday mornings at 7 30

[00:39:33] a.m. it really is barbecue and my my seat faces a TV which is a distraction anyway but

[00:39:42] this scroll is coming across and they're live from Valle Hall and there's police lights and

[00:39:46] they show a clip of being led off in handcuffs and in my mind I'm we're talking about Romans 12

[00:39:52] and talking I go to that chapter in my mind I'm going what it's like the pinwheel was spinning like

[00:39:59] I couldn't quite calculating calculating I could not figure out the circumstances and you know the thought

[00:40:06] I have as sports fans we feel like we're entitled to so much more than we really are

[00:40:13] you know we start we're people are storytellers we write stories good or bad about people

[00:40:21] this based on a little bit information and I try to be real discipline to say I'm on a way and here

[00:40:27] what the story is and figure out if I'm entitled to the story because I was more just the curious

[00:40:33] observer eating barbecue you know sitting back going what's gonna happen next but at the same

[00:40:38] time my other instinct I always use because I was in sports ministry for a long time I want to use

[00:40:46] headlines as prompts to pray and I saw his prayer for Scotty like this is an opportunity for him to

[00:40:53] again we speak out of character he did I think he did his press conference we live out of character

[00:41:00] and that was an opportunity for someone to see how you can handle adversity and it's a lot bigger than

[00:41:05] what the score he shot that day but how in the world that he shoot that after all that baffles me

[00:41:11] but I was just I was baffled by it so it just seems still off the wall. I like you I kept waiting

[00:41:17] for something to fill in the logic gap and I thought well I heard it was raining and it was dark

[00:41:24] and my my worst thought was maybe he maybe a pedestrian I mean that's what happened further

[00:41:30] down the road that caused the backup was a pedestrian unfortunately got killed by a shuttle bus

[00:41:37] and I thought oh please note I mean this would devastate a guy like Scotty who's as gentle as

[00:41:41] spirit as there is and what I what I took out of his comments was impressive but that part didn't

[00:41:51] surprise me the part that I really really was touched by was the instant reaction of every competitor

[00:42:02] in his universe who said well that's we know that this is a misunderstanding because there's

[00:42:08] no way Scotty would ever break the law intentionally and I started you know I kind of compare him

[00:42:16] I said they kind of they arrested the Billy Graham of golf essentially is what happened

[00:42:22] and I was reminded of how a sparkling reputation that you live consistently can help you in a time

[00:42:30] of crisis because others will rally around you and and they did. I mean I can substitute because of

[00:42:38] the connections I have on the PGA tour I could substitute the names of a half a dozen players

[00:42:45] who if I had if I had awakened that Friday morning and seen so and so arrested

[00:42:51] and then watched the scene with the handcuffs and walked behind the back I would have thought yeah

[00:42:56] okay you know I guess maybe his temper got the best of him or maybe he was a little bit

[00:43:00] under the influence or something like that or belligerent and they said they wouldn't let him

[00:43:06] never never even cross my mind with Scotty and you know I'm trying to take away from that

[00:43:13] the importance of a consistent walk and a consistent reputation that others come to appreciate

[00:43:21] and come to defend in a time when you need people to defend it I was also picturing his wife

[00:43:27] Meredith who now has a one week old baby sitting back home in Texas and you know after probably

[00:43:32] not much sleep tonight before getting up and turning on the TV and seeing her husband at an orange

[00:43:36] jumpsuit and wondering what in the world when in the world that was like so he played great

[00:43:43] on Friday then Saturday it all kind of settled in and he came back down to earth and didn't

[00:43:48] play all that well and he just said I was exhausted and we all know he didn't have his caddy that day

[00:43:53] yeah so he also things but I the nerves just probably started unpacking himself yes I did

[00:43:59] here a podcast earlier today with the number of players on it he's part of a core group of guys who

[00:44:06] are at a text thread and yes they have changed the avatar of the text thread to his jump suit

[00:44:12] mugshot and they are having a lot of fun a lot of fun with him so yeah any last thoughts on that's

[00:44:18] Paul no I just am thinking about our three minute message your character bleeds out in moments of

[00:44:28] crisis really does all right let's let's go from that we'll save that let's go to our holy

[00:44:33] discontent it's time to blow off some steam get it off your chest rant about what's most bothering

[00:44:44] you I got a lot of problems with you people now you're gonna hear about it's time for holy

[00:44:50] discontent oh what you lead off Paul all right so that this is going to be a bit of a

[00:44:57] gear shift from the conversation we just been had and my whole discontent is where I don't know

[00:45:02] whom anyone whose name is involved in the story around jaden roshada suing Billy Napier in the

[00:45:08] University of Florida and I all collectives I don't know if you guys saw this headline you remember

[00:45:13] him he signed roshada signed with the University Miami for like 9 million which wait and I always not for

[00:45:22] recruiting incentives so this is all a legend students student athletes he signed for 9 million

[00:45:27] Miami Florida swoops in and offers him 13.5 so he takes that and then the money doesn't show up so

[00:45:35] he asks out of his letter of intent goes there's a mistake then he decides that he wants to transfer

[00:45:42] to Georgia talks to Kirby smart about the fact that he's planning to sue Billy Napier who's a

[00:45:47] head coach of one of his SEC rivals in Florida and Kirby smart says go for it so you just matters more

[00:45:56] in the SEC so I'm not really sure who I'm frustrated with in this story but it's just like

[00:46:04] truth is stranger than fiction I'll just I'll just leave it at the whole thing it really is

[00:46:11] yeah that's actually mine as well because I was actually talking to somebody yesterday who's been

[00:46:17] worked in the NCAA for years and they just made the comment like the game has changed it's

[00:46:23] it's not a game anymore it is a profession without boundaries it's yeah and I all think they built

[00:46:32] they're building the plane as they're flying it and I think it's going to crash at some point this

[00:46:36] could be one of those crashes where it's it there's just not a lot of direction there and my concern

[00:46:42] is the the impact I mean you can I don't know if you could trust me with a hundred dollars in my

[00:46:47] pocket I was in college let alone millions and that's like what are we doing you know sports can

[00:46:54] produce great character and relationships and that stuff has been pushed to the side Nick Sabin talked

[00:46:59] about it when you dress Congress this is not the sport that I coached for 50 years and I'm

[00:47:05] concerned about the impact but we worship sports we worship money we shouldn't be surprised with

[00:47:13] some of the results we're saying but but it doesn't have to be this way you know I know we can't put

[00:47:19] the toothpaste back in the tube but it almost makes me wonder if we had to bend miles better off

[00:47:28] still allowing you know the payments because I do think the athletes needed to get something

[00:47:34] revenue share but what if it had been in the form of a of a deferred annuity so instead of giving

[00:47:40] it to you when you're 17 and you don't even know which way is up you've never paid a bill in your

[00:47:45] life in all of a sudden you've got six figures in your account what if it was waiting for you upon

[00:47:51] graduation or upon turning professional I I know that's just hypothetically pie in the sky thinking

[00:47:57] but I just think kids would have been so much better off because like you said Doug at 17 and 18 you give

[00:48:04] me three million dollars in the world just checking my messages and yeah nobody asked me

[00:48:11] you never had called but they can have my opinion but right now they've got a mess

[00:48:16] my Holy discontent takes us back to the streets of Louisville Louisville by the way is the most

[00:48:21] dangerous major violent crime city in America by 200% over the next most violent city in Chicago

[00:48:30] 200% per capita more crime in Louisville so hats off to detective Gillis for keeping the

[00:48:38] streets of Louisville safe from the evil scoff law known as Scotty Schuffler I can't imagine how much

[00:48:45] more peacefully the residents of Louisville slept for a couple of hours I mean now the

[00:48:51] terrors back out there again and Sean Jenkins thought about it yeah he did he dug the tunnel really

[00:48:56] fast he crawled through 500 yards of fecal matter and he made it out on the other side in time for

[00:49:01] his tea time and so detective Gillis in fact tomorrow we're we are recording this on Wednesday

[00:49:07] evening May 22 on Thursday morning at 11ish there is a press conference in the Louisville PD

[00:49:16] involving the mayor I think the lieutenant governor and they're talking about this case their

[00:49:22] investigation has moved forward as it happens detective Gillis did not have his body camera on

[00:49:29] to trace all of this that happened but apparently some other people did my prediction will be that by the

[00:49:36] time that press conference ends all the charges will be dropped and we can just go back to

[00:49:41] normal lives of living a millionaire golfer existence but yeah my Holy discontent detective Gillis

[00:49:49] trying to try to make it make it himself it it made an infirm self but it didn't work out really the

[00:49:55] way that you do better detective do better yeah I mean so I heard one comedian I'm not on this

[00:50:01] case but just talking in general about how really good officers of the law have a dimmer switch

[00:50:08] and their personality and on their anger so it it's not just instantly toggled on zero to 100

[00:50:15] it responds to the situation and that those who are not really good law enforcement officials and

[00:50:21] we love our police for sure but those who are not good at it they have a toggle switch and it's

[00:50:27] either off or it's 100% on and it kind of looks like I wasn't there but it certainly looks like detective

[00:50:33] Gillis had the switch flipped on all right time for that guy right now this minute today this week

[00:50:43] I am okay so that guy that guy segment is when we take the opportunity to give a shout out

[00:50:55] to somebody in the world of sports that we think is doing something the right way and you guys I

[00:51:00] think are gonna laugh at the story that I saw and chose for this week it came from the NASCAR all

[00:51:06] Star Race that just happened this past weekend Ricky Stenhouse Junior kind of crowded Kyle Bush

[00:51:12] going into like the first or second turn on lap one and on lap two bush decides to punt him into

[00:51:19] the wall and wreck his car and knock Stenhouse Junior out of the race Stenhouse proceeds to

[00:51:26] wait around several hours for the end of the race so that he can confront and

[00:51:30] start to attack punch whatever Kyle Bush breaks out into a melee Ricky Stenhouse senior jumps in and

[00:51:38] gets involved and then it all kind of breaks loose Stenhouse Junior gets fine $75,000 which is

[00:51:46] the largest fine ever given to the NASCAR driver his dad was suspended indefinitely from NASCAR events

[00:51:53] multiple members of Stenhouse's crew have been given multi multi race suspensions the highest

[00:52:00] one I saw was eight races zero penalties for Kyle Bush wow nothing for Kyle Bush and then this

[00:52:10] is the here comes to that guy they put a microphone in Richard and shoulders his face Richard

[00:52:14] shoulders is the owner of Kyle Bush's race car and so he's like Kyle Bush's boss and they put

[00:52:22] he's 78 years old and they put him put him on microphone and asked him what he would have done

[00:52:27] if he had been in the middle of the melee and what he was going to do going forward yeah I mean I

[00:52:31] would have jumped right in the middle of it I was starting fighting I don't fight as fair as I used

[00:52:38] to I'm a little older but Ricky Stenhouse said that he was going to wreck the eight cars shortly

[00:52:44] well when I see him I'm gonna tell him if he does I'm older but I've just changed my style of

[00:52:51] fight he'll carry a rough lead I had to edit the end of that just a little bit and at the end of

[00:52:57] that because he Richard shoulders promised Stenhouse Junior a butt woman he should have just loved

[00:53:05] that the 70 year old guy is like hey man if he wants to continue this thing that's great I will kick

[00:53:10] his tail because I'm maybe old but I fight differently now I fight smarter and he would be in for it

[00:53:17] there's something about that that I just appreciate you can take the old boy out of the

[00:53:21] driver seat but you're not gonna take the NASCAR out of the old boy that's for sure he was ready to

[00:53:26] rumble my my that guy is Ted Scott Ted Scott is Scott E. Sheffler's caddy on Friday Ted was there

[00:53:36] on Saturday Ted was not because Ted sought permission it didn't take much cottage like oh absolutely

[00:53:45] to leave for one day during a major championship to attend his child's high school graduation

[00:53:52] in the caddy world it's kind of unheard of to do something like that but in their relationship

[00:53:59] and in their family first oriented world that was an automatic now I'm sure Ted came back on Sunday

[00:54:05] and said hey how to do yesterday because he knew that Scott E. on Saturday played quite poorly and said

[00:54:10] you know I'm back now and on Sunday he would don't play really well again but what a wild week

[00:54:15] and if ever there was a time when maybe your caddy would say you know maybe I better stay here

[00:54:20] it looks like we've had a pretty rough rough day rough a rough time Ted still honored his commitment

[00:54:26] to his family and I'm still hopeful that we'll get him on this program at some point

[00:54:31] wonderful follower of Christ and the two of them make one of those special

[00:54:35] teams that you can be proud of and that you can root for unapologetically

[00:54:41] and everything that they do so we're really excited for that and Ted's my that guy because he

[00:54:45] decided to leave and go to his kids graduation so good for him Doug anybody you want to call out

[00:54:51] yeah I'll call out Jim Nill because he does have his dog stars in the conference finals but you know

[00:54:56] one they're leading scores a guy named Wyatt Johnson who just turned 21 like last week

[00:55:02] like he's in the same breath of some stats for goal scoring the playoffs under the age of 20

[00:55:07] with Gretsky and people like that he's done a great job and when when you look back Jim Nill

[00:55:13] just he's a good man he's a Christian man and he does it the right way when Wyatt Johnson was at

[00:55:18] that age where they could have brought him up to be a forward or they could have sent him back to junior

[00:55:23] his conversation was with Joe Pavellsky who was an older guy who's up at 38 at the time on the

[00:55:28] doll stars and he said I were trying to figure out what to do with Wyatt Johnson should be sent him back

[00:55:33] if we think if we bring him to NHL it's a lot of temptation a lot of stuff going on around and he could get lost

[00:55:38] and basically Jim Nill and Joe Pavellsky arranged for Wyatt Johnson to live with Joe Pavellsky

[00:55:45] he lived with him as rookie year and he did it again this year he just ran that play again

[00:55:49] and I'm thinking you know we live in a biz they live in a world and working a business

[00:55:54] that you just want to get the most out of players and I feel like Jim Nill is one of the good

[00:55:59] guys that he doesn't want to just get something from players he wants to get something for them

[00:56:04] he wants to develop them but not at the expense of their well-being and so I just think

[00:56:10] anytime you see a good guy who's thinking about what's best for that player and then Joe Pavellsky

[00:56:15] who's 38 says, well you live in our house and live with him might you know he's probably age of my

[00:56:19] kid you know so like he's it just I like when good guys think about the people not just the player

[00:56:25] yeah very good very good point we we we're gonna wrap things up with our three by the way

[00:56:31] thanks for bringing up the fact that Jim Nill's not Detroit anymore again you keep on telling

[00:56:34] me that over and over again yeah appreciate time for our three minute message

[00:56:41] Homer I'd like you to remember Matthew 7 26 the foolish man who built his house on sound and

[00:56:50] you remember Matthew 21 17 and he left them and went out of the city into Bethany and he

[00:57:00] logs there yeah think about it

[00:57:05] think about it okay I kind of hinted a little bit at what I think our three minute message needs to be

[00:57:11] about after our conversation on this episode we dug you hinted at it we've been talking about

[00:57:16] Harrison Bucker and Scottie Schuffler two guys who love Jesus and made live live the evidence

[00:57:27] of that this past week and so I think about Galatians 220 five in crucified with Christ there's no

[00:57:33] longer I who live the Christ lives in me if that's true that changes everything for us as Jesus

[00:57:42] followers right and so my question for us would be when life bumps up against you and gets a little

[00:57:52] unexpected maybe a little bit rocky what spells out of you the you or Jesus we saw a couple

[00:58:00] of great examples of guys who lived into the truth of that that that verse that promise this past

[00:58:07] week and so my challenge for all of us going into this next week is when life bumps up against you

[00:58:11] which it's going to do what's what's gonna spell out and what are the people around you going to say

[00:58:16] about how you responded that's our challenge for all of us going into this next week

[00:58:22] yeah we've got a couple of very public examples of the good way to handle those things and

[00:58:27] yeah we'd be wise to emulate those so good word for sure Doug thanks so much man good to see again

[00:58:33] that we all follow you and Jim Nill get back to celebrating success together

[00:58:40] and we will look forward to chatting with all of you again next time on church Pew sports
