We Who Endure

And in a window sat a certain young man

named Eudocus, who was

sinking into a deep sleep.

He was overcome by sleep, and as Paul

continued speaking, he

fell down from the third story

and was taken up dead.

But Paul went down, fell on him, and

embracing him said, "Do

not trouble yourselves, for

his life is in him."

Six twenty versus nine and ten.

Do you remember the ice cream man used to

have bubble, I think

it was bubble gum ice

cream, and there was those little Spice

Girls stickers in there.

Like, are you old enough

to remember the Spice Girls?

Well, I remember the Spice Girls.

The stickers, I think I kind of remember?

They were really small.

I'm old enough that I wasn't getting ice

cream from the ice cream man.

Particularly with the free Spice Girls

sticker within the ice cream man.

No, I probably ventured into 7-Eleven and

got one of those like,

two cookies sandwiched

in the, I don't

remember what those are called.

Ice cream sandwiches?

Yeah, but there was a name for it.

I know what you're, I know what you're

talking about, but like

that's one of my favorite

styles of ice cream sandwiches.

Like Big Ed's or something

like that, it was just called.

I don't remember, but it was really good

because the cookie was always soft.

I wasn't too huge into those.

I kind of like the cooking ones.

Yeah, I kind of like the M&M ones.

Or ice cream.

I kind of like the M&M ones more.

For a little bit, I like the M&M cookies

with the ice cream in the middle.

But I was more of a, my

favorite was the chocolate.

Chocolate and Claire's.

Chocolate hard, oh my gosh.

It's like the crunch bar?

The chocolate center crunch bar.

So it was like a typical hard shell ice

cream bar, but the

middle was just like this hard

chocolate that was my favorite.

And that was always like my first one to

go to for the ice cream man.

Then if he was sold out, then I would go

for like the chocolate

and Claire or maybe the

strawberry shortcake one.

Then if they didn't have that one, it

would go to, well, I'm

surprised how much you remember.

I always thought the strawberry shortcake

one had like a weird

texture on the outside

because it had that kind of

like stale spongy kind of.

I loved the like kind of crunch it had.

I like the drumsticks.

Drumsticks were good.

I like those.

I definitely think that for me, the last

one was the faces with the eyeballs.

The gumballs.

I actually didn't even

care for them as a kid.

I know we actually kind of

got them a decent amount.

Nothing crazy, but I was always

disappointed when I got those.

I think we were tempted by the IP and

like, oh, 100% powerpuff girls.

It's Scooby Doo with Ninja Turtles.

It's Bugs Bunny.

But also it never looked like Spiderman.

The image.

Oh, it's not even cool.

It was some.

Well, they look like

they had stroke face.

And then it just melted everywhere.

And so the colors are running.

You've got it all over your hands.

It's a sticky mess.

And the gum that it came

with was like it was disgusting.

I don't know if it's

because it was just frozen.

It's been frozen for so long and they're

probably so old, but they

were just they always tasted

so nasty.

And what do you do with the gum though?

Right?

Like I know you just stop eating your.

Well, I guess I'm done eating my ice

cream now because I have

this terrible gum in my

mouth.

I guess you put it in the

wrapper until you're done.

I remember.

I remember I would just like

sometimes I would just eat it.

Like swallow it.

But I would I would just chew it and then

be like, OK, this is

gross and then spit it

out and then finish my ice cream.

Oh, man.

It's such an inconvenience in your food.

You know what I mean?

Well, plus it's frozen.

So it's not like it's soft, like soft

like bubble yum or big

like chew or something like

that.

It's like, yeah, really hard, like harder

than the we put a

quarter and get that giant

hollow gumball on the machine.

Yeah, yeah.

Because it's frozen or or whatever.

I feel like I'm missing some ice cream

that we used to get.

Oh, you know, it wasn't bad.

We didn't really get it much.

But those those like

push pop, push for frozen.

Like the Flintstones.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those were so good.

The orange sherbet.

The orange one that

was sherbet or sorbet.

A sherbet, right?

I pronounce it a sherbet.

I don't I don't know.

Maybe sherbet like makes them

like come to a common sorbet.

No, please stop.

But those are good.

I kind of want to ask.

Yeah, I always just preferred, you know,

chocolate, chocolate, you

know, like just, you know,

the quintessential one of ours.

But like as far as those ice cream

sandwiches go with the

cookies, Trader Joe's has one

with chocolate chip cookies.

But what really sets it over the edge is

the outer rim of the ice

cream part is lined with

chocolate chips.

And it just has that perfect balance of

vanilla ice cream, a

little bit of chocolate.

You got your little crunch in there.

And it's just.

So the texture is really what's about

time you came around to the texture.

Yeah, I know. It's good.

It's good. And I'm so hooked on it that I

got I think it was the

Target brand and the Target

brand does not have the

lining of the chocolate chip.

So but I keep chocolate

chips on hand to bake cookies.

So I'll put some in a in a plate and I'll

roll the ice cream in it

just to get the chocolate

chip experience out of

the ice cream sandwich.

So you'd say you plate your ice cream

sandwich first before you

roll it and roll it in there.

Then you can dip it and get

more of the chips in there.

Yeah, I've got.

I like it.

Fancy.

I like it.

Nice.

Welcome back to We Who Endure.

We're not talking about ice cream today.

We're going to be discussing some of my

favorite Babylon B

headlines in one article from the

last few weeks or something like that.

A certain certain time

period of the last few weeks.

I believe that this is all in April.

Well, see I'm Blaine O'Neill and joining

me as always is my brother Lance O'Neill.

Hi, sorry.

My bad.

It's just like I was my bad.

Space and I and Dustin C.

Smith.

Hello.

Okay.

So before I get into

some of these headlines.

Oh, by the way, me and Lance have no idea

what you're bringing up.

So I don't even know.

This is specially curated and we're going

to see their their

reactions here in lifetime.

We're going to start with this article.

Okay.

This is a this is a

list of 10 things article.

10 things.

So like a like a Letterman stop 10 type.

Yeah, kind of.

Okay.

Just going to do my

favorites to save time though.

If we can get through.

If we can get through it.

It says revealed 10 other things that

Satan tempted Jesus with.

Okay.

All right.

Number one.

Wait, first of all, before you start,

just to give you time.

That's settled.

But some people might not know what.

Oh, yes.

Be is and like, is this

a credible news source?

Yes, the most credible

news source that we have.

No, if you're familiar with something

like the onion or other

parody new sites, I think

the onion is like the quintessential

parody site or was the

quintessential parody sites

until it decided to be political.

Babylon B is essentially

a Christian parody site.

So, you know, they're they're believers,

but they're also not

not afraid to have fun and

make little jokes as if somehow you're

not familiar with the

Babylon B you're about to

find out.

But it's a so so don't so

don't take this as like serious.

Obviously, this is or obviously not

obviously because you don't

know because I don't know.

I guess a lot of people out there are

just gullible and

believe whatever sort of thing

they read on the Internet.

And yes, I have seen people take Babylon

B or other or other

parody websites very seriously

and quoted as source material.

And I don't know.

It's just important to use critical

thinking, as we've said,

like go back and watch our

episode there and I don't

know, think for yourself.

So these are these are 10 things that he

probably didn't say.

These are 10 things he

definitely did not attempt Jesus with.

For the sake of parody, we're just going

to have we're going to

have a wee laugh here.

So 10 other things that

Satan tempted Jesus with.

Number one.

Dippin dots.

That's kind of ice cream.

That's kind of weird.

That's a lineup that

was totally unplanned.

Satan promised Jesus it was

the ice cream of the future.

The father of lies indeed.

I think it's been ice cream of

the future for like 50 years.

Yeah, I love Dippin dots.

Did you?

You don't like Dippin though.

Really?

What?

It's like it tastes like ice cream ice.

What?

Hold on.

Hold on.

I think you have to taste it now.

Because I think you're starting to come

around to the texture game because it's

it's like all about texture.

I have not never enjoyed Dippin dots.

Do they still make a Dippin dot?

Yeah, it might have at the mall.

Yeah, they get them at the mall.

Yeah, it's like a machine

and like makes it to order.

I don't think our mall has that anymore.

It did.

I don't pay attention to

it because I don't get it.

It did.

It did.

Okay.

But I'm not sure if it's there, but we

don't want to talk to

ourselves, but we do have a hug and

us and I was so excited that we were

getting a hug and us.

I don't know how we keep

talking about ice cream.

And it says anything.

Yeah, and it's been it's been there for I

think years now and I

pretty sure I never once got it.

It's because on the other side of the

mall, sometimes you

don't venture that far.

I have I have a problem.

I have to walk the whole

mall or is it bothers me?

So you just keep passing it and it's

between the escalators.

In fact, the way I always pass it first

thing because that's the way I walk.

Oh, you go on that side.

I enter on the other side.

I park by dicks.

Uh, I don't, I don't, I

don't like by Dillard's.

I don't, I don't like that.

But, but, but not that side, but

Dillard's on the side from the where

they're building that Asian market in

place of the Sears that used to be there.

I always park in Macy's.

I used to park by Macy's, but I was

finding good parkings at Dicks.

That's kind of weird.

I feel like it'd be

more packed over there.

Anyways.

Anyway, number two, number

two, a working lightsaber.

Lucifer pulling up the big guns.

Number three chick fil a on a Sunday.

That is a tempting dude.

That literally

happened to me last Sunday.

Wait, Satan tempted you with no, my wife.

Look at all these chick fil a's.

They can be open on Sunday.

If you sign here, my wife texts me, she's

like, what do you want?

You want to get, uh, what do you want

for, for, for breakfast?

She was like, I'm kind of feeling chick

fil a and I was like, yes, let's get some

chick fil a breakfast.

And then she texts me like

20 minutes later it's Sunday.

And I was like, no, I was so upset.

Often Erica, my wife and I have one at

chick fil a on a Sunday.

It is the curse of chick fil a you really

want it on a Sunday.

This would have broken an E-mere mortal.

Number six, this one's, this one's one of

my favorites mint condition.

How I'm going to change the word here to

holographic Charizard.

Imagine how much that

thing would be worth.

Yeah.

The, the article here has foil.

Uh, number seven, 1978 Transam.

Every male would have

succumbed except for Christ.

I don't really care for it.

It's going to be the bandit.

Number eight blockbuster membership card.

We had no idea how

precious they really were.

Number nine, some fresh crispy tats.

Oof.

Ease up, Satan.

Okay.

Here's a, got three articles

for you guys or three headlines.

We're just doing headlines headlines.

Okay.

We're doing headlines.

We're going to pop them up on screen

with, with the little image.

Yep.

There's going to float somewhere.

Okay.

So it's a picture of the

Supreme court took me a second.

So for those of you, if you somehow don't

know what SCOTUS stands for the Supreme

Court of the United States, SCOTUS rules,

death penalty is okay for people who

post breaking and a siren emoji before

every tweet, I think the death penalty

is okay for people who just use emojis.

Oh, it's terrible.

Jeez.

We use the people sitting

to your right and your left.

You know, I'm, I'm teasing you guys.

Cause I'm, you know,

I am very anti emoji.

Cause you don't like expressing yourself.

I do like express, but I

will use emojis in the fall.

Yes.

And now, please, this episode is going to

just be emoji comments and, and people

coming across this are going to be like,

comment your favorite emoji.

No, no, do not.

Only do you, should you comment your

favorite emoji, make sure you don't put

any gifts or gifts or whatever it is that

you people call it, because that's how

he likes to, you know,

that's how I express myself.

Yeah.

Which makes no sense that you're against

emojis, but then you'll use those gifts.

I, I understand.

I use an art to the right.

I don't disagree, but it's this no

different than emoji.

It's just less pixels on the screen.

Nope.

Cause emojis are just, it's like we're

going to Egyptian hieroglyphics or

something like just do the smiley face

with the parentheses.

So, so is a meme colon or a Jeff.

Nope.

Cause emojis were a step back.

Okay.

Or a step backwards.

Cause now we have people just

communicating with emojis as opposed to.

Are you just upset?

Cause you can't interpret it.

It's okay.

I might be part of it.

No, it's silly.

It's, it's, it's like,

it's like, excuse me.

It's like a lowbrow.

Communication.

Wow.

Like I said, comment your favorite emoji.

And then address them

directly to blade and comments.

I am okay with the T nine texting emojis.

Like when you do like a colon with a

parentheses or semi colon with a

parentheses, you think columns.

Well, that's how you make the eyes.

And then that's the evolution of it.

Right.

Yeah.

And it just changed it.

Backwards.

I will say I am okay with emojis when

it's in Twitch chats.

If it's a custom emoji, because that is

the only way you can do anything.

Well, no, you, cause you can type in

there, but like gifts and stuff.

You can't really send images.

That's true.

But there, there are

usually customized to the chat.

So there's a whole other level of

understanding, communicating,

meeting, cause they're,

they're, they're custom.

You know, like I watch a lot of, do I,

what if I make it, what if I, what if

I make a custom one and

I'm gonna send it to you now?

Is it going to work?

Cause it doesn't have

to be like on my phone.

I don't think that's how the display.

Well, it would have to, no, it's just

sending the eight bit pixels.

Yeah.

I guess so.

I remember at one point, like I liked the

iPhone couldn't put a gun emoji.

It had to be a water gun.

Does it still do that?

I think it does.

Does it?

Pretty sure.

And then it wouldn't

do the middle finger.

That's that's still there.

Is that still there?

Sure. Huh.

I don't know anything about this.

They just, there was actually just an

update where they just

added a bunch of new ones.

Like I want to say a couple of weeks ago,

they just had it like, I, if I said

the number, I'd be wrong.

So I'm going to say it, but there was a

bunch of new emojis added.

A whole dictionary.

Great.

Send those more words

for people not to use.

Number two.

Report heaven offers special perks for

people who dress up nice for church.

Well, actually the Bible says the

opposite about that.

It says parody, right?

I know.

I'm just, I'm just saying if we're, if

we're, if we're going to get

biblical about it, actually with, so what

are you, so what are you referring to?

Well, the Bible says, you know, don't

worry about, you know, wearing your

nice jewelry or whatever.

I pulling up the verse, you know, coming

up with the verses on the spot right now

is like hard, but it says not to worry

about those kinds of things because

that's just like an

earthly materialistic.

Now I don't think that means, you know,

just come in at like a slob.

I think you should be somewhat

presentable, but to be, to be so worried

about and materialistic about how you

come to church, that's not the point of

church, the point of church is to grow

your relationship with the Lord.

Well, yeah, because I mean, it talks to

the commentary of, you know, if, if, if

I'm dressed really nice and they're not,

then I'm more saved than you are.

Or I'm, I have a special, you know, like

a level or whatever you may call it, you

know, just like, because I do this and do

this and you're not doing that, then I'm

a better Christian than you are.

And so it's to kind of take away.

So you don't feel, cause like, you know,

we should usher everyone in off the

streets to, to come to church and to come

wherever and like, you don't want to

have to worry about, or you don't want to

have someone that maybe doesn't have the

nicest of things come in and go like,

well, I'm not going to go to church.

Cause I know I don't look as presentable

and it's just like, one, we shouldn't

be looking at those people or we

shouldn't be going like, well, you're

dressed down compared to me as just

because God doesn't look at it because

he's looking at us inwardly.

So.

Yeah, absolutely.

I did, I did think, uh, cause I, I don't

know if it was more common, maybe in the

nineties for people to dress up for a

church or just maybe it was the churches

that we went to like it.

I think it just

traditionally has been that way.

And then it slowly became more like

Friday, a casual business.

Like, I feel like this state is very

casual, even to a fault.

And I'm not talking about in church.

No, I'm just talking

about like, like restaurants.

You know, whatever, you know, people

wearing shorts and flip flops and going

to a, to a nice restaurant.

And I know that's

something completely different.

I just, that was weird.

It's definitely a little kind of strange.

I know it's a thousand degrees out here

and it's just just to the occasion.

Just to, it should be read the room.

Yeah.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

At the end of the day, like where,

wherever you want, cause I mean, like, I

don't care what's like, okay.

For instance, like at school, right?

We have, you don't want to

dress like the kids, right?

Because one, you don't want to be at that

level and kind of be, especially if

you're, you know, an younger teacher and

might be, you know, height challenged and

almost the same height as some of the

middle schoolers, but, um, you want to

kind of stand apart in a sense, but not

be, you don't have to wear like a

three-piece suit or, you know, something

like that, but you should definitely look

the part and granted there's days where

they have like gene days, which I don't

like, like they're like, I'm

not going to pay to wear jeans.

Like they have like gene, like a casual

Friday or something like that, where you

wear jeans and I'm like, my slacks

breathe better than a pair of jeans.

Like, give me a short stay.

I don't wear shorts.

That's my PSA for

wanting to wear shorts at work.

Yeah.

Please let me wear shorts at work.

Well, first of all, I'm surprised that

you can't wear shorts at work.

Well, I'm not, I'm not a PE teacher.

If I, if I taught gym or PE, then I could

wear like athletic wear, but I have to, I

wear slacks and either a button down

collar or like generally can't remember

the name of the shirt now, Apollo.

That's what it is.

I'm also surprised that you can't wear

jeans any day that

you want to wear jeans.

We used to have a thing, but then they

made a thing where we had to pay it.

And then now it's

more of a reward system.

It's education field is

kind of weird with that.

Like I think it's because genes have like

different interpretations of genes.

Cause you could have really nice chains.

You could have really holy jeans, not in

the spiritual sense, but, um, you know,

you have, you have different genes were

like, Oh, nice acid wash or nice.

Like they look like they've been beaten

up, but they're brand they cause eight.

Like I think just because of the

discrepancy of the different styles of

genes and different ways, like it's not,

I don't know, but

yeah, I'm just, uh, it's

not part of the normal where, yeah.

I'm wearing jeans, believe it or not.

But nobody can see that

because they can see it.

It's, and I'm not

going to show you either.

I'm not going to show you.

Those are jeans.

Yeah.

They're black stretchy jeans.

And not only do they have holes in them

to pockets don't work.

I also, I, I warm so, so

much that there's a, they're

holy in their own sense for context.

Text.

Uh, I stuck my phone in my pocket before

we started filming the episode.

And because there's a tear inside my

pocket, I missed the pocket and it went

in between my pocket and my pants and it

slid down my pant leg.

So that's, that's the

little inside joke there.

Hilarious.

Next.

Okay.

This was my favorite one.

Okay.

All right.

Ready.

Ready.

So, uh, for those of you listening on not

YouTube, Apple podcasts, Spotify,

or whatever one that no one else uses,

except for you, there is a, there's a

Chito children's crayon drawing of Noah's

arc, just really bad.

So it says, uh, kids crappy Sunday school

drawing apparently pleasing to Jesus.

So silly.

Apparently.

That would make Jesus.

Oh, it's a nice little rainbow.

And I think there's a, is that a T-Rex?

Yeah.

Is he riding the T-Rex?

That's kind of awesome.

Throwback to last episode.

Wait, what is this?

I think that's people being washed away.

Yeah, they didn't,

they didn't make the trip.

Yeah.

That's gotta be what that is.

Yeah.

That's to be what that is.

Is this, is this fire?

I don't know, dude.

Your laptop's kind of far away.

It kind of looks like fire, but that

doesn't really make sense.

Yeah.

I think we're not thinking of what about,

what about this little stick here?

I don't, I don't know.

Maybe doesn't know

what's going on over there.

And maybe, maybe

that's painting the rainbow.

Maybe with draft it, maybe it's a draft.

Oh, I want to say draft.

I'm gonna say a dog.

I have to do a lot of interpreting of

drawing in my field.

Okay.

So let's use your expertise here.

What is, what is this gold thing?

That's to the right of the arc there.

An anchor.

I don't know.

Oh, oh, I know what it is.

It's an elephant.

Oh, that's the tusks.

Yeah.

You see it.

That's the tusk.

This is the nose.

This is the ear.

That's the eye.

Well, apparently he didn't, he didn't get

the memo of the measurements with using

the cubits because the proportions

aren't, aren't correct using a two point

perspective or a two point perspective.

That and the rainbow wouldn't have been

there yet because that was, I believe,

after they landed.

Another question is, is that in the order

of the light spectrum?

Is it, is it going Roy G.

Big?

Roy G.

Big.

So red.

Oh, nope.

Cause it's red, yellow.

Oh, well, I guess it is pretty bad.

So, so really, so, I mean, if it's

apparently pleasing to Jesus, so that he

takes us as we are, so with our faults

and our unknowingly order of the rainbow.

Yeah.

I mean, it's okay.

You know, it's a kid.

Yeah.

We're supposed to come to.

You gotta give him grace, right?

You're supposed to come

to the Lord as a child.

Right.

Faith of child.

Right.

We, uh, we have a lot

to learn from this child.

Now, is there only one T-Rex?

Is that why like, maybe that's signaled

the extinction of the dinosaurs?

Hmm.

Cause he only brought one T-Rex aboard.

One T-Rex with one egg.

I mean, that's, that's assuming that this

is a T-Rex, perhaps it's not a T-Rex.

I was kind of looking for, just see if

there was like a dove

with a branch somewhere.

I'm hoping it's a T-Rex.

That's all I like.

I don't know.

I, I thought this headline was funny.

And I think just in one of our previous

episodes, I was talking about like that.

God loves art.

Jesus loves art.

Jesus quoted Psalms.

Psalms.

Uh, the most cause he loves art and

worship brings, you

know, the Holy Spirit,

you know, God, God loves art.

And I, you know, I just thought this was

a funny little parody of, of that.

Cause it's something I, I really believe

in and I'm passionate about that.

God really likes art in all its forms.

Drawing, acting, singing, poetry,

writing, sculpture,

dancing, all of the, all of the

arts, big proponent of that.

Well, yeah, well he made the rainbow.

He made the rainbow and it

was not red, yellow, purple.

I can't tell if that's blue or purple.

Indigo.

I guess it's supposed to

be indigo and then orange.

Roy G.

Biv.

Roy G.

Biv.

Do not comment emojis on this episode.

It's too late.

They already did it.

Yeah.

If you haven't already, do so now.

Comment your favorite.

I'll give it a like.

Babylon B headline from

my daughter loves emojis.

Yeah, but see, but she's five.

Well, I'm gonna talk

about my two year old.

She will get my phone and then pull down

the tab and then just go through every

emoji and just just tap each one and just

make sure I had your whole dissertation.

Yeah, it's great.

She loves it.

It brings her joy.

Can't take that joy away from her play.

I'm not.

And it's okay.

Cause she's two.

So are you mad because of

the chocolate ice cream emoji?

Isn't actually chocolate ice cream.

I gosh, that, that being a trend, what

circa 2010, I don't understand.

Was that a confusion?

Cause people just said,

Oh, that looks like poop.

But honestly, I knew a lot of people that

use that as ice cream and then I was

like, that's not what that is.

That's not the same

thing with other emojis.

Even Walmart had like

throw pillows of that.

Uh-huh.

Well, they had a whole move.

There's an emoji movie.

That's right.

Yeah.

It was, it was all around that time.

And I think that's, that's

what really did it for me.

And I was like, no, this is ridiculous.

You need to go back to writing words.

I don't think it's that deep.

Yes, it is.

This is the downfall of society.

Well that, yeah, but that

has nothing to do with it.

It's a tool of Satan.

That's not true.

What do you, what do you

work for the battle on?

Please call me Seth.
