You probably think heat pumps

0:02

are no fun, but hear

0:04

us out. Trained heat pumps

0:06

are fully electric and highly

0:08

efficient, engineered to maximize your

0:11

comfort and minimize your energy

0:13

usage. That's fun, right? And

0:15

thanks to rebates and incentives,

0:17

upgrading to a trained heat

0:19

pump system can cost the

0:21

same as a traditional air

0:23

conditioning installation. That means you're

0:25

getting more without paying more.

0:28

That's definitely fun. And how

0:30

about this? Trained HPAC could

0:32

save you over $500 per

0:35

year on your energy bills. That

0:37

means you're getting more without paying

0:40

more and you're saving more. If

0:42

that's not fun, we officially do

0:44

not know what fun is. Head

2:11

week on The God Pod. I

2:13

know what it's like. I weaponized

2:15

the justice system against my son

2:17

one time. Oh my gosh.

2:19

It's Father's Day. Don't go there.

2:21

Don't go there for Father's Day.

2:23

Don't think about it. Don't make

2:25

me return the gifts I got

2:28

you. I'm still thinking about it.

2:32

And here's the thing. You just wander around

2:35

outside looking for

2:38

the bathroom. And maybe Adele will discover

2:40

you and be like, hey, come

2:42

on down. Come on down to the front

2:44

row. Oh Jesus, I fucking love you.

2:46

Come on over. Get a free.

2:48

I'll give you a free ticket. That

2:50

was our horrible British impersonation. Give

2:54

me one little sip of some

2:57

Coca Cola or maybe a little bit of chocolate, a

2:59

little bit of sugar. I'm right as

3:01

rain. Oh God, I'm worried

3:03

about you. You think I have diabetes? Yeah,

3:05

you need to live cleaner. A big affair

3:07

in the world in love. Welcome

3:21

back, divine listeners, to The

3:23

God Pod. I'm your

3:25

host, God. And with me as always

3:27

is my right hand man and

3:30

son, Jesus. Hey

3:32

everyone. And we've got a packed

3:35

episode for you today from the

3:37

myth of rising crime rates under

3:39

Biden to Hunter Biden's trial and

3:41

the corruption in the Supreme Court.

3:44

God, it's going to be a wild

3:46

ride once again. That's right,

3:48

Jesus. We'll be debunking some

3:51

big claims by Trump and his

3:53

followers, taking a hard look at the

3:55

facts and of course, delivering

3:57

our divine comedy along the way.

4:00

way. And remember folks, you

4:02

can listen to this enhanced audio version

4:04

on your favorite podcast players. Perfect for

4:06

when you're on the go. So

4:09

buckle up and get ready for

4:11

a heavenly dose of truth and

4:13

laughs. Let's dive in.

4:16

Let's do it. So first

4:18

Jesus, one of the big

4:20

things going on in this campaign, whether you

4:22

knew it or not, is

4:24

this perception of crime in America?

4:28

Like crime is getting worse. Oh,

4:31

of course. Well, the Republicans are always going to be

4:33

like, crime is horrible under

4:35

Biden. Oh, it's so bad. The

4:38

borders. There's nothing. One of the

4:40

main arguments by

4:42

Trump and other candidates, other

4:45

Republicans, is that violent crime

4:47

is out of control. Right. And

4:49

is that true? No. Oh,

4:52

for example, they're just saying that the

4:55

same thing, immigrants are coming and that

4:57

they're illegal immigrants is what they say.

4:59

And that violent crime is

5:01

spiking because of them, you know? Oh

5:03

yeah. There's no

5:05

control at the borders. The

5:08

caravans are coming. Yeah. Their

5:10

favorite word for this is

5:12

like Venezuela. Oh yeah. Ooh,

5:14

sounds very scary. Starts to

5:16

be, um, so they've

5:18

been saying all that. In fact, in fact,

5:20

according to a recent poll by the economist

5:22

Jesus, 63% of

5:25

American voters say crime is

5:27

a very important issue. Wow. I

5:30

mean, who's going to say it's

5:32

not important? It's important, but ever,

5:34

ever. It's not as bad as

5:37

the media makes you believe it

5:39

is. No, of course. You

5:41

know, the local news always leads with,

5:44

you know, the most horrible

5:46

thing that's happened in your area. If

5:48

it bleeds, it leads. And it's been

5:50

true like that for the

5:53

history of news. If it bleeds, it

5:55

leads. So if somebody in your area,

5:57

some father, some horrible. father

6:00

like murders his son, then that'll be

6:02

all over the news. And you know

6:04

what I do, Jesus, when that happens?

6:07

I changed the fucking channel. Yeah. Why do

6:09

I need to know about that? I

6:12

just can't handle it. You know, some

6:14

people can want to know, and they

6:17

want to see justice done. I

6:19

just can't handle it, you know? Imagine,

6:21

imagine, wait, wait a minute.

6:23

Father's Day is this weekend. It is. I don't

6:25

know if I should be honored, Jesus, after what

6:27

I let happen to you. That

6:30

would have definitely been on the local news. I'm

6:33

willing to let bygones be

6:35

bygones and celebrate Father's Day

6:37

with you this weekend. All

6:40

right. Thanks. Well, moving on. New

6:42

data released this week by the

6:44

FBI reveals that both violent crime

6:47

and property crime have dropped precipitously

6:49

this year. Precipitously,

6:52

Jesus. I'm sure Fox News

6:54

is talking about that. I'm

6:56

just kidding. None of them. Substantial

7:00

drops in every category, including murder,

7:02

down 26.4%. That

7:06

makes me happy because thou shall not kill. Yeah.

7:09

People are finally listening to you. This is

7:11

terrible news for True Crime podcast, though. These

7:14

all make me happy. Rape is down

7:16

25.7%, robbery down 17.8%, and property crime

7:18

down 15.1%. These

7:23

declines follow steep drops in violent

7:26

crime and property crime in

7:28

2023 as well. And

7:31

2022, it's trending down every

7:33

year. And yet, there

7:36

will still be outsized media coverage of

7:39

those stories that still occur. And

7:43

Americans, it's the difference.

7:45

There's a huge gap

7:47

between reality and what

7:49

Americans believe. 77%

7:53

of Americans in a Gallup poll last year said

7:56

they believe there is more crime in the US than a

7:58

year ago, which is not a crime. It's not true!

8:02

Right. It's

8:04

not true, Americans. Listen,

8:07

they're all living in the crime

8:09

TV shows they watch. DUNK

8:11

DUNK! I used to

8:13

love Law and Order SVU. DUNK

8:17

DUNK DUNK DUNK DUNK! And

8:20

CSI. Because

8:22

here's the thing, there's way more crime on

8:24

CSI than there is in real life. Well,

8:27

and even just what you see reported in

8:29

the media, like we were just saying a

8:32

few minutes ago, it's like there's this outsized

8:34

coverage of crime when crime isn't as

8:36

big of a problem as you've been led to

8:38

believe. And I think, you know what else I

8:40

think the problem is? There's this culture of paranoia

8:43

across America these days. We

8:46

must lock the doors. Ooh, who's that

8:48

suspicious person walking outside? Ooh, why is

8:50

that person's windows tinted? And everybody's got

8:53

a damn security camera these days outside

8:55

their house. At least one. So

8:58

everybody's looking around their neighborhood 24-7, concerned

9:00

about what's going on in the neighborhood.

9:02

Nothing bad is happening in the neighborhood.

9:06

Well, Jesus, maybe all those ring cameras is

9:08

part of why the crime's going down, maybe.

9:12

Probably, but I think it also leads to

9:14

more paranoia because when you can suddenly see

9:16

everything happening outside your house 24-7, you get

9:19

addicted to following every little thing

9:21

happening. Oh, yeah. I mean,

9:23

people who are like that already, like

9:26

the Karens, you know, they're just

9:28

on the ring camera all the

9:31

time. Oh, I see some houses.

9:33

Just watching. It looks like Fort Knox.

9:36

They've got at least four cameras outside at every

9:38

angle. It's like, for what? You

9:40

live in a safe neighborhood. You're fine. They're

9:43

like, yeah, safe because

9:45

of us. Because of my four cameras. And

9:47

you know what? I think I need another.

9:50

I'm not covering this little patch of grass. I'm

9:53

going to add a gun turret that

9:55

automatically targets you with A.I. If

9:57

you get too close and says you have sex. seven

10:00

seconds to comply. So

10:03

it's just down all over the

10:05

place, which is fantastic news. It's

10:07

also down in cities. Murder

10:10

is down 18.3% compared

10:14

to the same period last year in large

10:16

cities. Sharp

10:18

declines, Baltimore down 41%, Philadelphia down 41%. It's

10:20

great. This is great

10:25

news. San Francisco down 36%.

10:28

Wow. But yeah, the

10:30

Republicans will never admit this, but

10:33

the Democrats should be out

10:35

there too. Pound in the table. 100% dad.

10:37

See, this is why I like you

10:40

because you bring up great points like this.

10:42

They should be sharing this information. This

10:45

country isn't as dangerous as the rights making you think

10:48

it is. See, good

10:50

news isn't as sexy as bad

10:52

news. Right. Right. You know, I

10:54

mean, look at this dark Brandon.

10:56

Look what he's done so far. He

10:59

did that. He did that. He

11:01

got Trump convicted as

11:03

was the plan. Correct. He

11:05

weaponized the DOJ against Trump

11:08

and then he weaponized the DOJ against his

11:10

own son. Yeah, that was pretty bad. That

11:12

is a dark Brandon move right there. Happy

11:14

Father's Day. I

11:19

know what it's like. I weaponized

11:21

the justice system against my son

11:23

one time. Oh my gosh. It's

11:27

Father's Day. Don't go there. Don't go

11:29

there for Father's Day. Don't think about

11:31

it. Don't make me return

11:33

the gifts I got you. I'm still thinking about

11:36

it. Well,

11:40

I'll have you know I did order

11:42

you a best dad ever robe,

11:45

but maybe I'll just return that now. Yeah.

11:50

That's what you get for teasing me. I

11:55

think that would be awful. Jesus. I

11:58

need to ask sarcasm. I

12:00

could use a new robe. You see this

12:02

one that I have this pink one. Mm-hmm

12:06

I've been wearing this one for like thousands of

12:08

years. Yeah, I was

12:10

wearing this on the Sistine Chapel It's

12:13

a classic you need to put that in a

12:16

museum when I posed for Michelangelo

12:18

and I was such a fan. I said

12:21

I'll never wash this robe

12:23

again I Think

12:27

both of my tears fall I'm just kidding

12:29

cleanliness is close to God. So yeah

12:32

Hunter Biden got convicted as well

12:34

this week Jesus he did that's

12:36

uh, not so great for the

12:38

right is it? No,

12:41

yeah, I I immediately jumped out there

12:43

and was making all those jokes about

12:45

you know Wow,

12:47

I can't believe he did this to his own son Yeah,

12:50

and you know, I guess I'm not

12:52

gonna vote for hunter Biden now same joke

12:55

Everybody was making and there

12:57

was also comments on oh the right once Gun

13:00

freedom freedom to own a gun, but they

13:02

also want to convict hunter Biden. So what

13:05

do we do here? Which side do we

13:07

take? I don't know There's

13:10

also that very sweet photo of Biden

13:12

hugging his son after the conviction. Yeah,

13:15

you didn't see Melania hugging Trump

13:18

after his conviction. No Yeah

13:25

Wasn't hugging any of his sons either No,

13:28

they can't show emotion in that family. We'll

13:31

be right back after these messages You

13:34

probably think heat pumps are

13:36

no fun But here is

13:38

out train heat pumps are

13:40

fully electric and highly efficient

13:43

Engineered to maximize your comfort

13:45

and minimize your energy usage.

13:47

That's fun, right? And

13:49

thanks to rebates and incentives Upgrading

13:51

to a train heat pump system

13:54

can cost the same as a

13:56

traditional air conditioning installation That means

13:58

you're getting more Ohio,

14:37

ready for some quick mental health facts? Let's go.

14:39

Nearly 2 million Ohioans live with a mental

14:42

health condition. In the U.S., more than

14:44

50% of people will be diagnosed

14:46

with a mental illness in their lifetime. Depression

14:49

is a leading cause of

14:51

disability worldwide. So why are

14:53

some of us still stigmatizing people living with a

14:55

mental health condition when we know all

14:57

of this? Let's listen to the

14:59

facts and beat the stigma. Ohio, challenge

15:02

what you know about mental health at

15:04

beatthestigma.org. And

18:01

who's that New Jersey Senator Menendez

18:03

Bob Menendez Bob Menendez people on the left can

18:05

look at him and say He

18:07

did bad things he sucks. Yeah, get out

18:10

of here See the people

18:12

on the left are capable of admitting

18:14

when something bad has occurred Give

18:17

it a try people on the right.

18:19

Yes stubborn, you know, what's Yeah,

18:23

give him hell Jesus Wow

18:28

Jesus watch it. What's your

18:30

language buddy? Sorry. I

18:32

don't know what words I can use these days giving

18:35

them a heck You know, what's Wow,

18:38

I curse on sub stack You

18:41

that's the beautiful thing you can curse as

18:43

much as you want again. Oh, oh sweet

18:46

Then let me bring up the double birds

18:49

f off. Yeah assholes Yeah,

18:52

fucking hypocrites. Oh Jesus

18:55

said the f word and

18:57

brought up to middle fingers

19:00

You can say what you want. But yeah, there will

19:02

there might be people who will be like You're

19:05

taking the Lord's name in vain Well,

19:09

I have gotten I have gotten some comments. Oh,

19:12

oh, no. I'm sorry everyone I've

19:15

gotten some comments from people who are like, how can you

19:17

make fun of yourself God? And

19:20

I'm just like how can you if

19:22

you can't make fun of yourself? Who

19:25

can you make fun of huh? Yeah,

19:27

you're showing self-awareness I

19:29

think that's admirable and why why am I

19:31

the only thing in this entire world that

19:34

can't be made fun of? Yeah,

19:36

that's like so insecure, you know,

19:38

I've grown like so much since

19:40

the old days If

19:42

you want to make fun of me go the fuck ahead. I can

19:44

take it Okay

19:48

at this point I'm like a couple

19:50

million people away from just Disappearing

19:52

entirely so oh no How

19:56

many followers do you have on rose to

19:58

me bitch? Yeah I'm up to 51,000

20:01

subscribers on Substack. Woo!

20:05

Nice. That's a good milestone. Yeah.

20:10

You know, it's

20:12

good, but is it seven or eight billion? How

20:18

many humans are there now? I

20:23

lost count of like two billion. How

20:26

many humans on Earth? We're

20:28

at 8.1 billion. Yeah,

20:33

that's probably enough. Something like 50,000 doesn't seem like

20:35

that many. Oh. I

20:38

know. That's all right. Not all areas of the

20:40

world even know what Substack is. So I'm sure

20:43

that's part of the problem. But

20:46

don't worry, they know who you are.

20:48

Sure, great excuse. Great excuse, Jesus. Okay,

20:51

now moving on to the next story,

20:53

Samuel Alito. Boy, he's been in the

20:55

news a lot lately. He

21:00

got caught again this time, this

21:03

time, yeah. On

21:06

tape. On tape, Jesus.

21:09

Lordy, there are tapes?

21:11

By undercover investigatory journalists,

21:13

Lauren Windsor. Just

21:15

went up and talked to him at some event and

21:18

just pretend to be his friend. And

21:21

this stupid motherfucker spilled the

21:23

beans. Oh. This

21:26

stupid, this dumb ass

21:28

motherfucker. He

21:31

just openly admits to basically

21:33

being a Christian nationalist and

21:36

agreeing the country needs to be

21:38

changed to become a Christian nation

21:40

again. Listen to this shit. You

21:42

wanna hear some of these quotes? Yeah, let's hear

21:44

it. I'm pushing the

21:46

country along towards godliness.

21:49

He says, yes, yes, there's no way to get

21:51

along. You can't do anything with the left. It's

21:54

always us and them. What? This

21:58

is someone who- I think he's got it backwards. someone who's

22:00

supposed to be fair and balanced,

22:02

Jesus, on the Supreme Court.

22:06

He says, we are in a unique position to

22:08

affect the direction of the country by the way

22:10

we interpret the Constitution. Our goal should be to

22:12

restore the Constitution to what it was intended to

22:15

be. He's power-mad, activist-judge,

22:18

and this is the biggest one. The

22:21

country needs more godliness. We

22:23

should be using our power to steer the

22:25

country in that direction. No

22:29

shit, you overturned Roe v. Wade. Yeah.

22:32

But this lets you know, he is

22:35

totally down for the entire Christian Nationalist

22:37

Project 2025 agenda. He's

22:41

gotta go. He's gotta expire. Yeah,

22:46

well, he's gotta be... He's

22:48

not gonna step down. He's not gonna

22:50

step down. We know that. Whatever happened

22:52

to the checks and balances thing, Jesus.

22:54

So let me get this straight. The

22:58

Congress and the Senate, they kind

23:01

of check and balance each other as well

23:03

as the President. Correct. Three branches of

23:05

government. The President has checks and balances on

23:07

them. The Supreme

23:09

Court can do whatever

23:12

the fuck it was. Who the fuck balances them? Pretty

23:14

much. Nobody. Nobody. The voters.

23:16

The voters. I

23:19

guess, but you gotta take a

23:21

couple big steps there to get to that point. Yeah.

23:24

You gotta vote in who you want

23:26

as President, and Judge has to

23:28

step down. You're fucked, America. Unless

23:32

you vote Biden. That

23:34

could help. He honestly has the chance

23:37

to probably... The

23:39

next... The next President will pick

23:42

two to three justices. Yeah, that's what I'm

23:44

saying. That's why it's really important. Like you

23:47

say, people say, oh, my vote doesn't matter.

23:49

Don't think about some of the day-to-day stuff.

23:51

Think of the bigger picture. Think of Supreme

23:53

Court justices. Trump got

23:55

how many? Frickin' three? That

23:58

still makes me throw up. everything.

24:01

They overturned Roe v. Wade.

24:04

Exactly. There's a conservative majority

24:07

on the Supreme Court. Biden's

24:10

gotten one so far. Katonji

24:12

Brown Jackson, who

24:15

received free tickets from Beyonce. She

24:17

disclosed that. That's good. I hope

24:20

she enjoyed the show. She deserved those

24:23

$4,000 Beyonce tickets. Not like Justice Terrence

24:25

Thomas, who received as much as $4

24:27

million in gifts and

24:31

did not disclose it. Right. Ms.

24:33

Jackson is like, Oh. Justice Alito,

24:35

who's restored, storing Godliness. But yeah,

24:37

you know, Republicans will be like,

24:39

yeah, but what about those tickets

24:42

to the Beyhive? Yeah. Yeah.

24:44

She better recuse if Beyonce gets up

24:48

there in front of the Supreme Court. She

24:50

even got free parking at the concert. Can you believe

24:52

that? She got a free soda

24:54

too. These things are, these

24:56

things are clearly the same. Yeah.

24:59

Yeah. They're just jealous. They want

25:02

Beyhive tickets. I'm jealous. I

25:05

want Beyhive tickets. I want Adele tickets. I

25:08

want all the hard tickets. I want

25:10

Taylor tickets. Well, you're Jesus. Why

25:12

can't you just get it? Can't you just parachute

25:14

in and be like, what's up? I

25:16

don't like taking seats from deserving humans.

25:21

I don't, I know. You're

25:23

too nice. Except for

25:25

when I call assholes assholes. Other than

25:27

that, I should Beyonce

25:29

or Adele's wrapping up her weekends with Adele

25:32

thing in Vegas. I should just go down,

25:34

watch from the rafters. Maybe

25:36

he's like, who's singing up there. You

25:38

just, just, here's the thing. You just

25:40

wander around outside

25:43

looking for the bathroom and

25:45

maybe Adele will discover you

25:48

and be like, come on

25:50

down to the front row. Oh Jesus. I

25:52

fucking love you. Come on over and get

25:54

a free, I'll give you a free ticket. That

25:56

was our horrible British impersonation. Okay.

26:00

I thought you were gonna say I should

26:02

wander around outside the concert being like tickets.

26:04

Who's got tickets? Don't they do that though?

26:07

Don't they do that doesn't Taylor do that

26:09

like oh come on like Doesn't

26:11

she discover fans that are wandering

26:13

around looking for the bathroom sometimes up in the

26:16

rafters? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Taylor's looking around up in the raft Okay,

on, this story caught my eye,

29:18

Jesus. Amazon. Mm.

29:20

Amazon and other... Amazon Fresh is

29:22

now slashing prices on 4,000 grocery

29:25

items, joining Target and Walmart to

29:28

help inflation-battered consumers. They're

29:31

slashing prices by

29:33

as much as 30%. Jesus.

29:36

Oh, cool. I guess their costs

29:38

came down, right? Yeah,

29:41

yeah. It's funny

29:43

because they expect, you

29:46

know, the natural expectation of

29:48

a headline like this would

29:50

be, wow, thanks so much. You're

29:57

helping us out. You're going to help us.

29:59

This is what is literally what the

30:02

headline to help inflation battered consumers. Yeah.

30:05

Well, who did the fucking

30:07

inflating in the first place

30:09

assholes. Right. You

30:12

raised, Oh, you raised the prices by 80%

30:16

and now you're lowering it by as much as 30% on

30:19

the shit that you don't want and have too much

30:21

up. Cool. Thank

30:24

you so much. Mega

30:27

corporate master. Thank

30:30

you for taking pity on the

30:33

people who can't afford groceries. You're

30:36

so awesome. No,

30:39

we'll never realize that it was you. That's

30:41

the thing that pisses me off. Jesus. Yeah.

30:44

Is that I'm worried that, you know,

30:47

I post about this on my page and my audience,

30:49

they get it. Right.

30:52

But that's my audience. Okay.

30:55

What is the vast majority of Americans?

30:58

Do they blame, do

31:00

they understand that

31:02

the insane rise in prices was driven entirely

31:04

by corporate greed?

31:08

Do they understand that? And not Joe

31:10

Biden. Do they understand

31:12

that? Oh, all of a sudden Biden

31:15

got elected and prices skyrocketed through

31:17

the roof. What

31:19

a shock. The

31:21

same people that don't want their taxes

31:23

to go up raised the

31:26

prices of the, and then immediately, immediately

31:28

within five seconds of Biden being elect. I

31:30

swear it was like the next fucking week

31:33

where they were all like, uh,

31:36

inflation, inflation. Of course. Anything, any

31:39

new excuse to blame Biden. They knew

31:41

about it as a talking point before it

31:43

even happened. That's how you know this shit

31:45

was all coordinated as well. Yeah.

31:49

And other competitors have been lowering

31:51

their prices to target that

31:53

happened a few weeks ago. Walmart a few

31:55

weeks ago, they're all doing it. And I

31:57

guess it's partly because they've hit resistance. consumers,

32:01

which I applaud all of you consumers

32:03

for putting your feet down

32:05

and saying, no, I'm not paying these

32:07

prices anymore. I'm going to go elsewhere.

32:10

Walmart CEO even said a few weeks ago,

32:12

we've seen more traffic through

32:14

our stores because people are fed up

32:17

with higher prices elsewhere. I'm

32:19

glad to see the people standing up to this

32:21

nonsense. Yeah, standing up

32:24

by not eating. The

32:26

court. Well, yeah. Or

32:29

are looking elsewhere for cheaper

32:31

products. Just eating more spaghetti, motherfucker.

32:34

More ramen. More ramen. You

32:37

think we can't, but we can't. We

32:39

can survive on ramen and

32:42

Coca-Cola for years. What

32:45

is the magic thing in sugar, Jesus?

32:47

Sometimes I'll wake up and have like

32:49

a full full breakfast

32:52

with eggs and and and

32:55

Coke, bread and bread and everything.

32:57

And I will feel like

32:59

dog shit all day, but give me one

33:01

little sip of some some

33:03

Coca-Cola or maybe a little bit of chocolate, a little

33:05

bit of sugar. I'm right

33:07

as rain. Oh, God, I'm worried

33:09

about you. You think I

33:12

have diabetes? Yeah, you need to

33:15

live cleaner. How about water? Why don't

33:17

you drink water during the day? Maybe

33:19

you're not hydrated. Okay, I am hydrated.

33:21

Okay, I'm doing pretty good. I'm just

33:24

saying sometimes you get a little

33:26

sugar and you're like, I feel

33:28

awesome now because it's that dopamine. You

33:30

know what, God, I quit soda many years

33:33

ago. I never looked back. Sure, I still

33:35

have a soda from time to time. I'm

33:37

I'm a Coke Zero girly, but I

33:40

mainly drink water and dry seltzers

33:42

like LaCroix. I love

33:44

LaCroix. You should try LaCroix.

33:46

I like the black cherry

33:49

flavor. Okay, you're a cherry.

33:51

It works. You're a cherry

33:53

god. Yeah, but it's also summertime, Jesus.

33:55

So I like eating ice cream. Is that okay?

33:57

I know

36:00

your thoughts on the episode. Yeah,

36:02

what's your favorite ice cream? That's another

36:04

fun one. Yeah, mmm, good for summer,

36:06

right, Dad? Well, Dad, as we wrap

36:08

up here, I just want to say

36:11

to the humans, stay informed,

36:14

stay engaged, stay woke, and

36:16

happy Father's Day to you, Dad. I

36:19

love you. Aw,

36:22

thanks, Jesus. I love you too.

36:25

All right, well, we'll see you

36:27

next time on the God Pod.

36:30

The Lord has spoken. The

37:02

delicious ice cold taste of Dr. Pepper has

37:04

a lasting effect on people. Lindsay from Sacramento

37:06

said... Pro tip, 40 degrees is the

37:09

perfect temperature for an ice cold Dr. Pepper.

37:11

Why is 40 degrees the perfect temperature for Dr.

37:13

Pepper? We brought in Sue from Duluth, Minnesota

37:15

to tell us. Oh yeah, I know a thing

37:17

or two about cold. Oh, that right there

37:19

is the perfect kind of ice cold for Dr. Pepper.

37:22

I'd share that with my friend Nancy. She likes

37:24

Dr. Pepper too, you know. My coldest... Alright, that'll

37:26

be all, Sue. Having a perfect temperature for

37:28

your Dr. Pepper? It's a Pepper thing. Inspired
