I say we as if Keith had anything to do with it. I wasn't so guys welcome to another episode. We appreciate you sharing. We appreciate you going to DMW podcast checking out our merch cave support the show sharing with a friend and Listening along.

Keith Foskey’s Ministry, Church Background, and Podcast

I want to give this guy. I know I already gave his name away on this intro. Okay, it's a Keith. So if you know Keith out there, you're halfway there. All right, but let me give him a proper intro. He's a pastor at Sovereign Grace Family Church.

For the last 16 years or so host of conversations with the Calvinist an awesome podcast. Go check it out and make sure you subscribe and he's creator of some denominational tik-tok videos that are Hilarious and they've gone viral millions of views across all the videos and you can find that at conversations.

Wa Calvinist on tik-tok. It's mr. Keith Foskey. Keith round two. Here we go. How you doing? I'm doing well. Very glad to be here and thankful for our Recent budding friendship, I'm enjoying it. Yeah, so we met at the shadows to substance conference down in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

You came up from Florida. I came down from Michigan. We met in the middle and We had a good time. Yeah, you've become sort of like my my my unofficial conscience. I send you stuff and I say hey Is this too is this too much?

I Always do it with respect in your videos, but it is kind of fun. You know, we were in this this culture where everyone's the same everyone's equal. It's like well, no. Within within races within culture within denominations.

We have differences and they're kind of fun to poke fun at and to point them out. Absolutely, absolutely and and I I do it. I you know one one brother said, you know I like that you do it with a twinkle in your eye and I do try to do it with a twinkle in my eye.

You know the sense that I'm doing it in a good spirit. But there are things that are worthy of being made fun of and that's why we're doing it. So tell everyone a little bit about yourself. Give us a little short bio.

I know you're pastoring for quite a while, but give us the the Keith Foskey rundown for us. Well, I was I'm pastoring the same church that I grew up in. I've been in the same church since I was six years old my stepmom was the first person to introduce me to church and she brought me to this church and I I didn't get saved until I was 19.

But when I got saved God began to draw me to the pulpit and when I was about I think 21 or so a couple years after I got saved I preached my first sermon and God confirmed in my heart that he was calling me to preach and to be in ministry.

So the church affirmed that paid for me to be able to go to a local seminary Jacksonville Baptist Theological Seminary. I spent many many years there learning the Bible and learning how to preach and learning the things necessary for ministry and.

But I didn't learn to be a Calvinist because the the seminary I went to was anti Calvinist. But I was reading the Bible and studying the Bible and so I came to the conclusions that the doctrines of grace were true and The church still hired me As a pastor and and the church was actually not a Baptist Church.

The church was Non-denominational they used to be affiliated with the old disciples of Christ, which is a very liberal denomination. But but we we were we were always more socially conservative, but just theologically sort of nebulous.

But I began to preach the scriptures and the people began to respond and within a few years God moved here and we felt we experienced what we call true revival and that is God changing a people over time and you see the results of that change happening in Experienced over time and and so we we changed our Constitution.

We changed our name we went from being Forrest Christian Church to Sovereign Grace Family Church, and that was about 12 years ago and We're thankful that God's continuing to work. Yeah. So so you came into a church Calvinistic and Baptist and the church was neither of those yeah, and and they hired me a hundred percent vote and I think part of it was because I I had the you know, I had the family the family Trust because I'd been here since I was a little boy and and I think that one a lot of the older people Referred to me like the church is Timothy like we would like I grew up here and I had this sort of tie to the community and There was some trust that was that was there and I'm thankful that they continue to to entrust me with preaching the scriptures.

So I'm thankful for that. Awesome. I think you're kind of a good salesman too. I think that that's a little bit. Well, the Bible sells itself. Let's not so so the Holy Word Holy Scripture short. But yeah, so 16 years.

The Podcast, the Viral Comedy Videos, and Why Humor Matters

When'd you start the podcast? How long has that been going on for it actually started during kovat? Everybody started a podcast during kovat. So I had to jump on board. It started as a daily Bible reading and I was just reading the Bible giving an explanation and After a year of doing that almost every day and we called that coffee with a Calvinist.

It was a daily reading with it with a little explanation and then after a year I was like, I don't want to do this every day anymore I want to do it once a week make it more of a an interview format where we where we have Conversations and so now so we change it to conversation with the Calvinist and that's been going on for two years.

Wow, that's awesome. And how long have the videos been going on because these things have just blown up and I'm gonna play one. For the listeners and if you guys are listening Make sure you go to our YouTube website and watch this and then make sure you go subscribe to him to Keith on YouTube as well.

But we're the idea it and how long you've been doing the videos. This actually started as a it was my wife's idea I always credit her with this because she's the genius. She's the smart one. I just happen to be a good a good actor, but she's the but she's the she's the she's the brains.

I'm you know and One day we were just sitting and talking and she said hey. What would it look like if all the denominations had a meeting and so that was the first interdenominational meeting? And when we and a friend of mine convinced me to post it on tik-tok and within a day it had hit over 100 ,000 views and that video now that video and a couple other videos or you know have reached over some of them have hit up to seven eight hundred 900 ,000 views on those first few denomination videos.

Yeah, okay. So I want to this is a little over two minute clip, but I want the listeners to hear this. We're gonna we're gonna take a seat here. And this is one of the clips if you're listening to this essentially it's the different denominations getting together for the Super Bowl party, which I absolutely love this one and So so if it seems a little confusing he has the denomination responding if you're just listening.

So make sure you go watch it and Let's take a listen and a watch welcome to our interdenominational Super Bowl party. I'm excited to watch the game together. I am sad to say that the IFB and the Church of Christ won't be joining us tonight.

They're both having extended evening services where they're preaching on the idol of professional sports. Also, I just got word the Anglicans won't be joining us because apparently right now they're too busy fighting one another.

So what's everyone looking forward to the most tonight? I'm really looking forward to the halftime show. You like the halftime show? No, I'm sure it's gonna be worldly garbage. I'm just looking for things I get to rant about on Facebook as soon as the games over.

Well, my plan is to drink a nice German beer and right around the third quarter starting a fight with the Roman Catholic. I don't think you're gonna make it to the third quarter. Hey, what did I do? You showed up.

Well, I also plan to enjoy the game while drinking a beer out of my John Calvin glass. You guys are concerned about the Super Bowl, but I'm concerned about Superior Theology. Hey, I won't be drinking out of a John Calvin glass, but I'll take a Pope Francis glass if you got one.

Sorry, I don't celebrate popes or hippies bro. Check it out. This is one of our biggest Sundays of the year this morning. Our pastor came out. He had a football jersey on he ran from the back and all the Deacons chased him wearing referee uniforms after his sermon.

He spiked his Bible and the youth group came up onto the stage picked him up on the shoulders and carried him out after that Court Gatorade all over it was awesome. Did he really spike his Bible? Listen, if you love Jesus, you're gonna spike your Bible after a good sermon.

I for one was very happy when they switched to synthetic footballs. So that those young men don't have to keep touching the flesh of dead swine. Hey, I understand exactly what you mean. Anyone else want a pork rind?

I'm not worried about who wins. I just want all those young players to have a good time. I am looking forward to the commercials though that he gets me commercial who gets me every time. I'm not here to have a good time.

I'm here to remind you that this game is nothing but a giant excuse to celebrate human aggression. It's like Robert Downey jr. So eloquently stated Violent ground acquisition games such as football are in fact a crypto fascist metaphor for nuclear war.

I'm here to be a present reminder of the failure of our nation. Your presence here is a failure. Oh My gosh, that's so good. First of all, I don't like how accurate you are with the Presbyterian as a person myself.

I'm a little upset that you know us so well. You know and it's kind of funny because your superior theology has become like quite a popular hashtag. I'm seeing it all over Facebook now. People will just literally comment something and then just go superior theology and you're going and it has nothing to do with one of your videos.

I'm just seeing it around and I'm going this guy's created a hashtag now. But the I also I do I do have something to say though. I don't like that when you do big Eva. They're dressed like me a lot of the time.

I Need to change what I dress, you know, I can't the hat backwards and the t-shirt. I think maybe I need to get into the sweater vest to become a little more Presbyterian according to you. Well, the the the big Eva is actually marketed or modeled after Rick Warren.

Okay, and and that's why the last video I did was kind of funny because big Eva said I thought he was already one of us. Because the video was about him getting kicked out of the SBC. Yeah, okay, so I didn't want I didn't watch that one yet and yeah, I'm going to watch it but Yeah, guys go check it out because you're always how much how often you put off put out content.

It's quite often. We put out one podcast a week. And that's pretty much every week every once in a while I'll take a week off but in general we have at least one podcast a week and that's an hour show and I do at least one funny or Educational video every week that's a short form video because not everything not everything I do is funny.

I have put out short form videos that are educational like I did one last week on Lent and and the question was Ken Calvin is celebrate Lent now. It wasn't a one-minute video. It was about it. It was it was a shorter video, but it wasn't it wasn't a full podcast.

But that one got a lot of attention. So I do it. I do about two videos a week one podcast in one short video. Yeah, which I like because it's like you do serious stuff and then you do funny stuff, too.

We're laughing at the interdenominational funny stuff. But you know I can jump on your Facebook page or your YouTube page and I can see a preaching. I can see you having serious conversations. Which I like I don't like that.

Sometimes we feel like we have to be in one camp or the other. Oh, you have to be a Christian comedian or you have to be a theologian and pastor. It's like well. You're a pastor and the Lord has also gifted you with a quirky sense of humor.

Which seems to be connecting with a lot of people, right? So why can't we do both, you know? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. And that's that's something that I I hope people understand because I don't want I don't want to be just a goofball.

But I am a goofball. So so, you know, so I can be I and this is something my mom said to me years ago. It was probably the the most the the kindest comment I ever heard and I know it's my mom. So, you know your mom's always say but but this was this was meaningful.

She said She said I like that. You are the same wherever you are that you're whether you're at church or whether you're at home. You don't you're not putting on a show. When you're at church and be and being a you know.

Putting on a pastor's hat and be that now but I can be serious when it's time to be serious. And obviously I'm not a comedian in the pulpit. But and that's why I post videos of my sermons little short clips of my sermons to show I'm very serious about God's Word.

But I also think there's things that are funny and sometimes the best way to point out mockery is to mock things in a humorous way. No, absolutely. What I like about those two is is I feel like you you really think about the material instead of just going kind of Generic right like for instance, and I'm gonna refer back to the Presbyterian one the clip we just watched.

He's holding a glass with a face of John Calvin on it and I know three guys that have that beard last. Right. Well, that's personally from my church and I'm like, how did he know? You know, are we that trans that stereotypical that transparent, you know?

Or the big Eva guys with a little bit of a Tommy Bahama. Like I've met so many older big Eva like Tommy Bahama guys, I'm like, I know that guy when I watch your video I'm like, I know him. So it's like do you you interact with all these people and so you kind of get it?

Are you hunting and pecking and and trying to find a character? How do those come about? Some of it has been by by sheer, you know providence of God. I'm a Calvinist. I don't believe in luck, but. But but by by God's providence.

There are certain things that just happen like I own that glass. I have a set of four glasses. It has St. Augustine John Calvin's Charles Spurgeon and then one of them has the five solas. But it was given to me as a Christmas gift like five years ago.

And every time I every time I have a group of men at my house. That's four or less we break out those glasses and that's what we drink out of everybody gets to pick their favorite. So so when we were talking about the Super Bowl I said wouldn't it be funny if the if the Presbyterian were drinking out of a John Calvin glass and then if you notice the Lutheran Is drinking out of a German beer stein because my dad my dad worked for Anheuser-Busch.

So I actually have a collection of beer steins that were you know from Anheuser-Busch. So oh, that's cool yeah, and and I love the The not to stick it too much on one video. But just to kind of explain to people the the beauty of these is like the progressive at the end, too I mean that little paragraph that you rattle off.

I have been in conversations with progressive air quote Christians and they sound just like that. We're like 19 big words together that make no sense. I can't even remember everything you said there, but I'm listening and I'm going yeah.

He said I think he said some conversations with progressives himself. It's pretty accurate. Well, what's funny about that one? And this this also ties into another weird? Infatuation of mine and that is with 80s.

The 1980s and you and I are the same age. We learned we learned that on the trip. But I grew up, you know the 80s I had a I had a brother who was five years older than me and he was pop-culture. Fanatic and so I he introduced me to everything that line that I quoted from Rodney or Robert Downey jr Is from the Rodney Dangerfield movie back-to-school.

He says that in the movie. Okay, so the quote he says ground acquisition games such as football are nothing but a fascist metaphor for nuclear war. And I remembered that quote from seeing that movie so many years ago.

And so I just quoted him in there and only one guy on Twitter said hey you made a reference to back-to-school. I said, yes, I did. Yes. That's it. Well, see I grew up in a pretty fundamentalist church.

So TV was from Satan. So I missed a lot of the 80s culture stuff. I still have friends to this day go Oh the Goonies and I go I've never seen that they go Star Wars. I've never watched any one of those all the way through, you know, they go what you know.

So I got some catching up to do on that. So I didn't catch that reference either but still funny. Yeah, absolutely. Well next time you're next time you're in Jacksonville. We're gonna have a movie a movie night.

I'm gonna introduce you to all the things you never got as a kid. Right, so why why go the comedy route you're a serious pastor you're preaching the word you're exegeting you're. You're shepherding which is a very serious and as you know, and we've talked about a very serious thing.

And I I wish more pastors took that a little more seriously today. It seems like we hand that out like Oprah handing out cars. You're a pastor. You're a pastor. You're a pastor, right? But I know that I know that you have the conviction of what a true shepherd is.

It's a very serious job before the Lord. But then you have this side where it's a little bit lighter and you're embracing comedy and things like that. Are you are you a stand-up comic guy? Do you like comedy?

Have you always been interested in that? Yes. Well, first of all, that's a great the last part of that question I'll start with and that is do I like stand-up comedy? I do in fact stand-up comedy is is.

Stand-Up Comedy, Clean Humor, and the Comics That Shaped Him

Absolutely, like one of my favorite forms of communication and media. I love clean stand-up comedy dry bar comedy is a is a place where you can go and listen to clean comics. Guys like Josh Sneed and others who are on there.

You can also go on to Nate Bargatze who is probably one of the leading comics in the world right now. He is a he is a clean stand-up and If anybody knows Nate I want to talk to him. His dad was a magician.

I was a per I was a professional magician. I worked for a professor as a professional magician for three years. I would love to talk to Nate just about what it was like to grow up growing up as a as the son of a magician, so.

Yeah, so if anyone's listening out there and you know nader got contact info, let's get him in touch with Keith. I think that'd be a good episode. His new stand-up is is absolutely hilarious because he comes from growing up Christian in the 80s and 90s.

And he's like that's the most Christian you can be and I relate it was like, you know ACDC's against Christ and devil's companions cabbage patch dolls or spirit demons and he is you know, he man is mystical.

You know what, you know Antichrist and it was like yeah, you grew up in the 80s. And you were a Christian you were the most Christian. So there's some parallels there probably with you and I that Nate has as well and then really quick I'll tell you want me to tell you a funny Josh Sneed story.

Sure. I love Josh Sneed. He's hilarious. He's awesome. And he's kind of local. He's from Cleveland. So he's about three hours south of Maine. So Years ago. I'm talking early 2000s my buddy and my buddies and I we would camp at Michigan International Speedway For a whole week during the NASCAR race.

Okay. Oh nice. Okay, Josh Sneed had a bit about NASCAR about going down to Kentucky and making fun of a woman who he's making fun of Racing and she comes up to him and says hey, you know NASCAR just ain't a redneck sport he goes so I looked her in her one good eye and I said, yes, it is, you know, and So he does this whole bit and it's making fun of they collect the KFC collectible buckets of chicken and this and that right.

It's every cliche of a NASCAR and my buddy and I loved it so much that we would play that at our campsite. We had like tent set up and campers. We had a big-screen TV and people would come and they would watch it as we're all kind of hanging out.

So years later, he shows up in Toledo, Ohio or Perrysburg, Ohio about 20 miles south of me and my buddy and I go. This is 10 years ago. Hey, let's go watch him, right? So we're geeked in our minds. We've been listening to watching Josh Sneed for 10 years.

We got the bit memorized. We're grown men though. So it's a little Here here comes Josh he's getting out of his, you know Ford focus. He just drove up three hours and we're standing outside and there's no one in line.

It's a small club. We go Josh. Let's go down. We're talking to him. We're a fanboy and he's looking at us like guys settle down, right? You know, yeah, we tell him the whole thing about the bit, right?

And so we go in we watch the show at the very end of the show. He launches into that bit now this time that bit had been like eight years old and we're going whoa. Me and my buddy go. Whoa, that's crazy.

How what's the coincidence that he did that bit when we were there years later? I'm on a like two years ago during Kovac. I'm on a clubhouse with him. I remember clubhouse sprouted up for a little bit where people could talk Back and forth over the app and there and I was in a room with him and I told him that story and he goes Yeah, he goes I just did that for you guys because you were such fans.

I didn't wasn't doing that bit and I went oh I'm an idiot. Of course. He just pulled it out of his back pocket because two guys were really excited to grown men, which was really weird. So big shout out to Josh Sneed.

He does a really funny NASCAR bit. Go look it up on YouTube and he did it just for me and my buddy in a room full of 150 people. So he's an a-plus in my book. Awesome. So you're a big stand-up guy. Who's your who's on your Mount Rushmore of Comedy.

Oh my gosh, this could get me in trouble. Because remember I grew up in the 80s. Okay, so Again and I grew up we're saying your comic genius to there if you mentioned someone that has some blue stuff in there.

We understand that we're not promoting that but we're saying from a comedic genius standpoint who would be your top four? Okay, so Again, I was I didn't become a Christian till I was 19. So I grew up listening to the and the first one I'm gonna mention may get me may get me in trouble.

But remember that nobody knew anything at this point. But the first the first stand-up that ever made an impression on me was Bill Cosby. Same here and and and I and I've listened to Bill Cosby himself so many times.

I could recite almost the whole show and I do at times make the jokes from the show even here 30 years later. So Bill Cosby was one of one of the ones. That was just a favorite favorite two bits for Bill Cosby is when the parents leave him there to go out to eat and they put Invisible snakes everywhere snakes that one and then the snowball one.

The snowball where he where he wanted to hit the guy at the snowball his mother had thrown it out. So he just went outside and spit on the guy. You remember that bit? I don't remember that. I remember the the childbirth.

My wife called to me from the balcony of our, California home bill and I became excited and I said push. And they said you just had a baby lizard, yeah. Yeah, so so Bill he's got it he's not to stay too much of this.

But he's got a great bit to where he talks about how the dad Throws the football with the son practices every day takes him to football out at night running passes running routes. Gets to the college gets him in admissions goes through four years gets the NFL.

Becomes a rookie gets paid gets out of it. And then he goes. Hey, mom. Hey, mom. Yeah I relate to that one since my son's in football, but that's funny. So so Bill Cosby was number one. You know and again growing up in the 80s and 90s.

You know, there were a lot of guys who just who I listened to I and again, like you said there's stuff that's in there. I don't even I Hesitate to mention but I do want to mention two guys who were who were very clean and and and actually three I'll mention three that were very clean that were.

That I listened to all the time. One wasn't do that. Yeah three your four clean comics and let's do that. Okay, so the first one was a man and in this guy again, this guy's got some skeletons in his closet.

But his name was Mike Warnke. Mike the fake Satanist, that's right. But Mike Warnke I listened to his album so many times. Because they were so funny and Mike Warnke could tell a story like nobody's business.

He was the best storyteller I ever heard. So Mike Warnke was one. Dennis Swanberg was one and you may not have ever heard that name. But he was he was a he was actually called the Minister of Encouragement.

That was what they called him. He was a he was a stand-up who went and did stand-up at churches. He was Tim Hawkins before Tim Hawkins was alive. Okay, and he and he was an impressionist and he did Don Knotts and Jimmy Stewart and all those old Actors and and they call him the Swan.

Dennis Swanberg this one and I tell people look up the Swan. He's hilarious his story of being a Methodist and going to a Baptist College. He went to Baylor University. He said he said I got there and they made me get baptized and this deacon told me he said you got to put on This culotte outfit so we can baptize it.

He goes I came here to play football. I ain't wearing no culotte outfit. He goes you will if you love the Lord. So. So it's it's it's great great church comedy and the and the last one is not a stand-up.

But he is a key. I could still consider him a comedic genius and that's Ray Stevens. Oh Yeah, Ray Stevens music absolutely. We I got a hold of a Ray Stevens Audiotape like a cassette tape when I was really young probably like seven or eight somehow like one of the parents had it or something.

And then looking back on it some of the songs I was listening to I was like, yeah. That's probably a little too young to be listening to. You know The gay pirate. Get Tarzan right get Tarzan. Like what the heck am I listening what are my parents let me listen to it eight years old.

He he had a song about it was called vacation Bible school, and it's about a guy. Who they spike the punch bowl at vacation Bible school? And he said he said the the pastor got up and got to preaching and he said that Samson didn't take no sass.

He whipped the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass, but to tell the truth. He got all that a little out of order. Yeah, so Ray Stevens is what I could still I my kids listen to Ray Stevens. You know the good song.

Yeah, I I forgot about that. I do remember growing up very legalistic, right? We weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV listen to music. There was a saw there was a there was an artist called Don Francisco.

Do you remember this guy? I don't know if you do. He did an Easter song called he's alive. Well, he had an album and on one of them was it was mostly guitars like folk kind of folk Christian. And I remember we would have to like Sneak and listen to the song with drums when my parents were out of the house.

That's that's the kind of kind of how it was growing up when I was real young. But somehow my grandmother who is Polish. Okay came from Poland. So all the jokes with that. She was she was Polish. She goes here take this audio tape and listen to this and it was the Cheech and Chong Christmas special.

So I'm eight years old in my room. My brother's, you know seven a year younger and we're listening to this and we don't know what we're listening to, you know. We we come my parents come in and there's just this audio playing of like we take a little magic dust for Santa Claus.

A little more for the reindeer little more for said, you know, and we're like, oh, this is funny. You know Santa Claus the one with the baloney knees walk up on the street with those shoes on his feet.

We're like we're singing it and that's where did you get? So I always think back to those times to where you stumble onto some stuff probably. Before you should have and you're so innocent as a child and then you look back and you go.

You know between Ray Stephens and Cheech and Chong what the heck was I. Well, I have a I have a question. Do you know who dr. Demento is? I'm familiar. Yes. I don't have everything memorized. But yeah, well, dr. Demento I think I think was the one who discovered Cheech and Chong but he had all kinds of funny stuff and I used to have one of his like albums and it was.

It was nutty, but it was funny. It was very funny. So guys like you and me who really enjoy comedy I always have to ask because I did a reaction video on this. Where do you put and I'm gonna give I'm gonna show my hand here because I think he's one of the greatest comics of all time.

Where do you put Norm Macdonald on your list? I I Really have trouble. I have trouble with some of the lines. He was willing to cross. But I think oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I have to you know I have to be honest.

I I think he was the best SNL Newsman, I think the stuff that he did on the SNL. I still listen to that. Sometimes I'll pull it up on YouTube and just the stuff. He the stuff he would do with OJ the stuff he would do with Bill Clinton During the 90s stuff that I remember I was living that watching that happen.

So I think I think he was I think he was very talented very brilliant and but but I'm Some of it some of the lines he crossed I was just like I can't enjoy that it's sort of like, you know. Yeah, you know like Andrew Dice clay I don't remember him.

But that was a big name back in the 90s 80s 90s and he crossed so many lines that it's like it's it's hard to even Mention his name, you know, but I'm the same way with Norm to you just go you don't want to promote it.

There's so much garbage that he lines that he crossed but then you get a hold of some of those those old-timey jokes that he would tell and he Would stretch it eight nine minutes. You go. Where is this going?

And then he'd give you some stupid punchline where you just went. Oh, yeah. He's a genius. But well, that's why that's why one of the ones I didn't mention earlier would have been Eddie Murphy. Because you know, I mean his stand-up was there was a lot of bad words in it again I was not a believer when I heard it, but but no one could question that he was that he's talented, you know his.

Yeah, and that that that's the that that's where I say, you know. There there are guys who were just super talented and yet, you know, I can't it's hard to enjoy them now. Well, that's why guys like Nate right Nate Borgatti.

You absolutely love because you I Like I'm a big Jerry Seinfeld fan. My dad makes fun of me. He goes. He's not funny. You're an idiot anyone who likes Jerry Seinfeld is an idiot, right? You know and I go well no I just like the fact that he could take something mundane and clean and something that Most people would have to add something perverse to and he just pulls a little gem out of it.

Nate's doing that so well right now I mean, I'm wrong if you guys are listening to this go watch his special on I think it's on prime. It's it's pretty clean. There's one thing where he says something about two dads, but he doesn't allude to anything illicit, but it's.

It's one of those things we go. Oh, yeah, you can work clean and comedy is a beautiful thing. And it's a common grace that the Lord has given us and we're allowed to laugh. Yeah, and I forgot there was one other name and now I'm again.

You're pulling it out of me because I'm thinking through. And what the one name that I should have mentioned that I didn't mention and it's unfair that I didn't mention his name because he Has been a huge spot on my wall as far as persons that I listen to and that's Jeff Foxworthy.

Oh Foxworthy's classic. I mean Foxworthy. From what I understand he sold more albums than than Cosby as far as just just yeah. Yeah, and a lot of people give him grief for being the redneck comic, but man.

He made a living out of that, didn't he? I mean he just that was just a crazy thing. So his you might be a redneck was the most popular thing. He did. It's also the least funny. That's right, and it's super funny is you might be a redneck is super funny.

But if you watch his actual sets of stand-up, that's probably the least funny of his bets. Yeah, like if you watch my blue-collar comedy tour or anything like that I mean, he's just got good. Solid funny most of the time.
