May be Europe’s oldest Mega structure and ancient hunting structure possibly one of the oldest has been discovered in the Baltic Sea shedding new light on Stone Age hunter gatherer communities around 11,000 years ago the structure consists of a half mile long wall of about 6 1600 plus stones that were

Those are your headline news the gospel today comes to us from Mark 8: 14 through 21 the disciples had forgotten to bring bread and they had only one loaf with them in the boat Jesus enjoined them watch out guard against the leaven of the Pharisees the leevan of Herod they concluded among
Themselves that it was because they had no bread when he became aware of this he said to them why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread do you not yet understand or comprehend are your hearts hardened do you have eyes and not see
Ears and not hear and do you not remember when I broke the Five Loaves for the 5,000 how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up they answered him 12 and when I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000 how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up they answered him
Seven he said to them do you still not understand the gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ the Catholic commentary on Holy Scripture said the Jews regarded the fermentation caused by leaven as a kind of corruption for this reason Levan was removed from their homes during Pascal time the law
Forbade inclusion of leevan in some of the offerings made in the temple see Leviticus 2 for instance Christ here uses the word leaven in the metaphorical sense of a principle of moral corruption the leevan of the Pharisees was hypocrisy they were extremely concerned with the externals of religion but
Neglected the essential interior Spirit the leaven of Herod was the spirit of worldliness preoccupation with pleasure and political Ambitions you know this kind of reminds me of the Dost uh the the Heretics in the time of St ignatious of Antioch back in the early early 2nd Century they had the smells and the
Bells the vestments they talk like it they act like it you know like Catholics but instead they were very worldly and they would never be martyred for the faith because of that worldliness the commentary goes on to say the disciples failed to understand Christ’s warning and thought that he was referring to
Their failure to bring provisions Christ took them to task for their slowness in comprehending the significance of the wonderful events which they had witnessed his words were a reminder that they should have learned by now to trust him even for their material needs the ignacious Catholic Study Bible would say
Jesus rehearses the figures in both miracles of the loaves while the symbolism of these numbers is nowhere made explicit they most likely signify the Nations who hear the gospel the 12 leftover baskets from the first episode represent the 12 tribes of Israel that Jesus gathers into the church the seven
Baskets of the second Miracle represents the seven Gentile Nations who once occupied the land of Canan alongside Israel and to whom Christ subsequently offers salvation Jesus’s previous conversation with the syrop phenician the Canaanite woman back in in 724 through3 already established the point that Israel’s leftover bread would be given to
Gentiles together these figures point to the in the international dimensions of the New Covenant the venerable bead would say this or the leav of the Pharisees is making the decrees of the Divine Law inferior to the traditions of men preaching the law in word attacking It In Deed tempting the Lord and
Disbelieving his Doctrine and his works but the leaven of Herod is adultery murder rash swearing a pretense of religion hatred to Christ and his Forerunner it is uh it is having religion only in name and not in substance and that’s something I think we’ve said a billion times on this
Program probably will say it a billion or more before it’s all over and done if you have faith that Faith needs to inform the the rest of your life if you believe in the Lord Savior Jesus Christ then the rest of your life every decision you make must be seen through
That lens our religion has to have teeth it has to have substance it has to have Merit we have to cooperate with God’s grace so our decision making is informed by that faith and our life is reflection of that do we act like the world do we
Dress like the world do we talk like the world do we behave like the world are we friends of this world the epistle to St James would warn us to not be friends but rather to suffer for it for the Salvation of souls more on that coming up after the break don’t go
Anywhere some atheistic scientists claim we don’t need God to explain the universe because science is sufficient to get the job done but is this true the answer is no and here’s the reason science could never negate the need for God because it can’t give an exhaustive explanation of the universe first it
Relies on the inductive method in order to validate its hypotheses as such scientists can never be certain they’ve discovered every piece of data necessary to give a complete explanation they must always be open to discovering something new that could alter their current theory furthermore science presupposes an existing Universe to observe and
Explain thus it could never explain why the universe exists in the first place rather than not science has explanatory power but not enough power to negate the need for God I’m Carlo Bruce sword with a ready reason for Catholic answers catholic.com the Station of the Cross began broadcasting in Buffalo New York in

We give up things like eggs milk and flour and today it’s why they flip the pancakes today it’s the last time you’re going to do it for the next 40 days I haven’t had pancakes in probably years now but nonetheless hopefully you’re enjoying your pancakes hey Belinda Mooney is joining Belinda Mooney is
Joining us right now she has a book coming out later this fall praying with the Saints in their feast days but she has a very strong Devotion to the holy face and we have asked her to be on with us today to talk about the act of making
Reparation for like making up for the kiss of Judas you know uh Belinda Mooney good morning to you thanks for your time hi Joe good morning let’s talk about the this devotion the act of making a reparation uh to for all the sins committed against our Lord tell me about
This why why is it on Trove Tuesday that’s one of my questions and what’s the background okay so in the 1200 St gertude got two works of reparation the work of reparation through Devotion to the Sacred Heart and then also the work of re reparation through Devotion to the
Holy face and shove Tuesday being the Feast of the carnival she was asked by Jesus to make reparation for the sins of the carnival and all these years later then Margaret Mary uh sister St Margaret Mary got the full uh work of reparation through Devotion to the s sa heart and
Sometime after that sister Marie Pierre got the work of reparation through Devotion to the holy face so it all goes back to S God’s wish uh especially with the Holy face to make uh reparation for the sins of people who basically are spitting in his face slapping it uh
Causing him pain and um rejecting him especially in the first three commandments so so just like the Sacred Heart Makes reparation for sins of indifference and coldness of Catholics toward the lord in the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament the work of reparation through Devotion to the holy face makes
Reparation for the the sins against the first three Commandments and what this is is we’re trying to ask God for Grace upon Sinners who are taking Idols or blaspheming blaspheming His holy name or um profaning the Sabbath so for us Christians that’s uh profaning the holy
Day of Sunday so um and then if if you want I can real quickly tie it into the third web work of reparation which is Devotion to the Immaculate Heart which is Mother Mary uh all the things that people do the there’s especially five blasphemies but they’re they’re just things about uh
People integrating uh her and her virginity her mulate conception Etc so all these three works of reparation or primarily to ask the Lord for Grace upon Sinners make reparation to him for the things that are being done against him or in mother’s case mother Mary and then
Ask for Grace upon those Sinners to be converted so in the case of the Holy face uh the sins of the Carnival which now we call MRA were were there in the day of St Gertrude and she uh was asked to make reparation and so now what we’re doing uh he told
Sister Marie Pierre that this work is especially for the conversion of atheistic communism so all the ideologies that are being spread through the world today they can pretty much go back to the Revolutions of the past and especially the the communist Revolt so if if these if this work had been done
Then perhaps it wouldn’t have had all that happened and we certainly wouldn’t have the dissemination of the ideologies in the world today it would be it would be so different but even mother came to Fatima to to tell the children again because the work had been suppressed after the
Initial uh printing of all the the work and the promises that were given to sistant Mar Pierre then the work was unfortunately um I don’t know that word that I’m looking for I’m sorry it’s early in the morning I’m not used to getting up this
Trust me I know all about it it’s fine yeah but U it’s it’s like the the bishop shut it down for a while but Leo japon who was uh this is a whole story and I’m putting it in a book that I’m writing called the three works of reparation
Which hopefully will get published later this year or if not early next year but Leo tont was a lawyer whose wife died and he moved to uh from martinque to tour and so tour is T RS but there’s a silent s when you’re talking about the
City in France this is where the little um sister Marie Pierre was having all these visions and by the time Le Pont got there he was assisting the sisters in the carlite monastery he heard of her work and so he helped her and and he
Helped get it out so he did the the first three printings then the bishop suppressed the work but as a lay person he could continue to do a a private devotion in his home oh my gosh Miracles happened in his home I actually got to
Go there and um over time uh Pope Pas the the nth he was the greatest Miracle Worker of modern times so anyway uh fast forward through the Communist Revolution and everything and here it is Mother Maria Pina de McKelly is getting all these um she’s now blessed y’all U but
She was getting all these other Revelations because the Feast of the Holy face hadn’t gotten done yet the um I always want to touch my scapular because I wear the holy Face Metal but she was able to get those two things done so now we actually have a feast day
Although most priests don’t know it’s here and they don’t have the propers um I do if anybody needs them but it’s like uh I’ve been of reparation for 28 years and I guess what I want to say is when you’re doing these works of reparation you become devoted but the primary aim
Wasn’t that you started out to make yourself holy you will be holy you will feel peace you will become devoted to the Sacred Heart Immaculate Heart the holy face but the primary aim is to help God uh help Jesus make reparation for the sins that people are doing against
Him and mother and then bring down Grace upon them so that’s what I wanted to make an important point of and all you have to do if you want to practice the work of reparation is is a very simple prayer it just says oh Lord show us thy face and
We shall be saved and in our father Hail Mary and glory be that’s what if you join the arch conf fraternity of the Holy face that’s what we do every day that simple prayer and then there’s another prayer that sister Marie Pierre got called the Golden Arrow and it’s
Kind of long I may have time in a minute to do it but basically it’s um May the most holy most most adorable most incomprehensible and ineffable name of God be forever praised blessed loved adored and glorified in heaven on Earth and under the Earth all the creatures of
God and by the most Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most holy sacrament of the altar amen that little prayer does so much good to combat the sins against the first three Commandments and if you hear somebody taking the lord’s name in vain she said
That Jesus told her to pray very quickly admirable is the holy name of God and sometimes when I think about it I just started saying it over and over admirable is the holy name of God and I’ll tell you when I’ve done the packets of the Holy face um prayer cards and the
I had written a couple of articles that I’ve now expanded into the fourth chapter of the book The Three works of reparation and when I say these prayers I am just filled with peace I know that I’m doing the will of God I know that I’m doing a work of reparation in Union
With Jesus it’s uh it’s not pretty it’s not describable but one of the stories I’d like to tell you real quick is that when I was uh doing the work in um you know in a lot in a full force if you would before I started writing full time
And and having to work I was able to um fold 11,000 prayer cards to give to the prisoners in Houston area in the through the arch diis my children help me too but um the person that I had given the cards to to pass out she said Belinda it is
Like miraculous the prisoners I will come down the hall and these other chose from but they’re just they’re for picture so I was thinking to myself God has a a big sense of humor in how I can’t hard to get this into churches sometimes but the prisoners are praying
The Golden Arrow prayers praise be to God yeah praise be to God yeah imagine if we prayed that prayer every time we heard a blasphemy we would like uh especially while watching television or something like you’d be constantly praying you would be fulfilling what St
Paul has asked you to do which is pray not you know ceaselessly to always praying if every time we heard our lord’s name to taken in vain or Blas blasphemy we would be uh praying it would be an amazing thing many things I think would change not only in the in
Our own lives but in the the lives of those around us let me ask you this so you kind of you talked about how how to pray it and and I actually am going to put a link to the prayers themselves we’re going to put a link to a PDF that
Has this broken down in case you want them that’ll be in the show notes today at the station ofth cross.com act but uh tell me go back and and give me the difference between the work of reparation and a regular devotion why why is this uh Devotion to the holy face
Something more special than a regular devotion okay so uh devotions are I think this is my own terms I’m not a theologian or anything like that but the way I understand devotions is that they are primarily designed to help us to grow closer to God they are personal
Ways of finding whether it’s the Divine Mercy Chaplet or the rosary or the whatever their prayers they are prayers and they are and they are designed to help our spiritual life and help us to come closer to God and the way I I talk about the works of reparation are that
Reparation is the primary thing that Jesus did came here to do this is what he did he repaired the sin that kept us from God and he stood in the bridge and he and he then made it he healed that uh Brokenness and and he repaired that so
That we could then have access to our father so when we’re doing the and so we were converted we were healed we were given another chance and that’s kind of what we’re doing in the works of reparation we’re pro we are participating in his PR AR work with the
Father of making reparation for the people who are like I said uh sinning against uh indifference and coldness in the Blessed Sacrament especially Catholics okay that’s the Sacred Heart then um blaspheming taking Idol well taking Idols blasphemy and profanation of the Sunday that’s the holy face and
Then all the sins against mother that’s the immaculate hor so that’s the difference that I see and yeah the beautiful thing is you do become devoted when you’re doing works of reparation but the primary aim is to help God convert Sinners amen and um make reparation for the kiss of Judas as well
Hey Belinda Mooney I’m grateful for your time today thank you for sharing your devotion which is incredible to the holy face of Jesus and we’ll look forward to having you back when your book comes out God bless you Belinda all right coming up at 30 past the hour we’re going to

Volume number one Anthony De brosio good morning to you thank you for your time today thank you so much for having me I’m super pumped to be here I’m a I’m a uh I’m a big fan of of St maximan K I mean I have a strong Devotion to him I
Absolutely try to devour whatever I find on him and when it comes to uh to especially to films I I’m really going to be keen on that so when I saw yours I got really really excited I like to for you to tell me about your project but
Right of the gate the one thing that caught my attention was you went and filmed it and then you came back and asked for money I love that so tell me about your project that is so fun yeah um yeah so we’ve got a um we’ve got a movie cooking
Um it’s it’s cooking it’s not done we we went and shot it um it’s in uh post production right now so we went to Poland uh to Colby’s H toown and um we really went out there in faith knowing that uh we had a and a call from God to
To tell his story uh and didn’t really know exactly how how it all come about but um God provided God brought us amazing people and um amazing uh opportunities locations beautiful costumes and um we we were really setting out to try to tell Colby’s story
In a way that um nobody had seen before that nobody had heard of before that really went into kind of the untold story The Untold and unseen and and perhaps misunderstood parts of his life um and particularly the uh The Passion of Colby so uh that’s that’s really um
The mission and um we’re really excited to be able to start sharing that project with people and building a community of of a militia a new Coles militia in order to bring that story to fruition I have a a friend an old friend here in the Houston Texas area whose dad
Stood three rows behind maximilan K in the day he was selected uh the day he volunteered to uh to suffer on behalf of gyobn and uh and I used to I used to talk in fact I talked to him a couple months ago again and it’s just an
Amazing thing to to comprehend on The Bravery the Courage the conviction of this man St maximan col but one of the things I got from your trailer was you’re trying to look at this maybe from a slightly different angle than than the the standard the way the the story is told
Standard what who are the other people in the cell with him I heard you say that in this video on your Kickstarter campaign tell me about that aspect yeah so I think that many of us know the story of Colby from the perspective of Francis gek the man he
Saved and um I think that that perspective is a really valid way to talk about Colby’s story but um I think that what is more interesting at least to me is what did God do for those men who didn’t get saved in the more traditional sense of the word um I would
Say that you know 90% of us don’t get those sorts of Miracles and and interventions that um that gy neek got um 90% of us actually get a an answer of no I’m going going to leave this suffering in your life um this tragedy in your life and and somehow I’m going
To transform that into Beauty and how how does God do that uh I think that Colby is an answer to our grief and our suffering in the same way that Christ was an answer to that um and so for these nine other men who he joined um he was saving their
Souls too just in a different way uh we know that they were found singing that um the songs that they sang were heard by other inmates that picked up the song that um the songs that they were singing were picked up by uh people outside of
The cell who heard them and who uh were encouraged and who sort of had their Humanity returned to them because of their witness um what kby was able to accomplish in terms of bringing these men who had lost all Humanity in this uh in the darkest part of this Camp
Into uh fighting to make their last days count uh to forge a Brotherhood of Hope with each other and to be a witness to the other people in aitz of Faith and Hope um that he was able to accomplish that I think is a is a miracle and is a
Miracle that I am incredibly interested in uh investigating and bringing to the screen yeah it looks very fascinating to me tell me about your cast uh who is who’s playing St maximan K in this film yeah um so our cast is a combination of poles and English and
Serbs and ukrainians uh and Americans it’s really kind of an amazing I guess example and witness to the the global Church coming together uh Colby is his uh I guess his devotion is spread so far and wide that people from all over the world really wanted to be
Considered for different roles so um our our kby is actually a man who I met in Poland who was a an actor a very well-known actor in the in the Polish world and who ultimately had a had a struggle with alcoholism that led him into the church
Uh or led him back to the church and through his struggle with addiction was really adopted in many ways by St maximilan Colby and he had just done a couple of different plays uh about M maximilan Colby and when we met um I immediately sensed in him just from the
The very first meeting I sensed a presence in him that was uh a familiar presence it was like this he knows the man that I know that I have been considering and meditating and researching and and trying to understand more deeply he also o knows that person
And has been formed by that person um and so he a celebrity in Poland so it was a really big stretch to bring him on board but uh because of his love for kby he decided to to do it um all of the them had to lose weights and to shave
Their heads uh really difficult things to ask actors to do uh but they were really moved by the story and wanted to accurately represent it so um they all went on starvation diets and um I’ll tell you we uh there is something really powerful about the Brotherhood that’s built by uh
Literally starving together uh we all uh I joined them for a while as well but we all went on uh like 900 calorie a day diets um to emulate what they were living on and uh it was an incredible deprivation and really separated us from
Kind of the rest of the people around um around us but uh it really forged a certain amount of connection and connectivity to each other and um yeah I think that that’s part of what this movie is about is what God can do in terms of bringing love about um when
People Embrace their crosses together I’ve often talked about the deputy based comment on Carl Fritz and his role in all of this and I’ve encourage every time I’ve talked about the story I’ve encourage my my audience to go and Google him Google it and look into his
Eyes because you can see the evil in this Man’s eyes who is the actor who played Carl Fritz who who played the bad guy and and what was that like for them to have to uh to get into the mind of a uh like a very demented person yeah it’s it’s a really
Interesting question actually because um is the sweetest guy um he was actually one of the first actors that we found and who came to us um a well-known kind of accomplished actor in in England um I saw from the first moment I saw him I
Knew that he was our FR he looks like I I could pull up the the picture of FR and put them side by side and you might have trouble figuring out which one was which wow uh no joke and um he but he was he was a really uh good friend he
Was perhaps like one of the the most passionate supporters of the project um and it was difficult for him because he got to see this amazing Brotherhood that was developing in the actors who were playing these um the 10 men with Colby and uh he had this really profound
Insight as a part of it that um that I felt like really informed his character which was that he wanted um connection and what he was seeing was in these other men almost like a cause of Envy for him as much as it was a cause of of
Hatred uh because in some way they were a sign of a stumbling block in a way for for his whole the world and um hold that thought right there for me Anthony De brosio is our guest we’re up against a hard break here for our radio network so
Don’t go any we’re going to be right back I want to get into not only the having finished this part of the conversation but I want to talk about where this is in production right now uh what can we expect it to when when will

Heart it’s a brand new film about the life and uh I guess the lives of those that suffered in the starvation bunker and aitz and uh I’m looking forward to we’re going to put a link to this Kickstarter campaign in the show notes at the station ofth
Cross.com you know I uh Anthony welcome back I was just watching an interview with um Neil MCD Catholic Hollywood actor and he he’s been typ cast as the bad guy like he’s always play he always plays bad guys and he was saying you know uh he in his experience the bad guy
Actors tend to be all nice guys they they’re really nice guys but they always play bad guys and I think you were kind of saying the same thing right before the break isn’t that the case that’s the case yes yeah so what I find fascinating about that is it’s got
To be hard for an actor I I I feel like it’s got to be hard for an actor to to really I mean Neil McDon played Satan for crying out loud like he and he said he didn’t want to do it in the beginning like especially as a Catholic you don’t
Want to uh you don’t want to like emulate evil Carl Fritz was evil I mean he really was an evil man if I’m not mistaken if I if I remember correctly it he even helped to bring about the whole gas aspect of of of eliminating the Jews
In the camps because before that they were shooting them and they didn’t want to waste any more bullets they needed that for the war so it was Carl Fritz who helped to come up with the the gas to murder these people isn’t that the case I mean that’s pretty
Evil right yeah there’s there’s such an intense almost demonic um not almost like very clearly demonic evil that this man um sort of brought to the camp uh I could go into many heinous things beyond the the gas one one thing that he did uh that was pretty he was pretty
Famous for was um during Christmas at the beginning of the camp when kby was there at the beginning of the camp that was not really that underway this was a terror camp that was being used to destroy and eliminate the Polish Cultural identity and Leadership and so
Colby was a part of that um and so uh FR he he did not just want to kill people his he saw himself as the person who’s here to sort of reveal to the polls the truth about themselves um he’s going to help to break their back uh wow
Spiritually so that uh they can be enslaved by the the new wave of immigration of German immigrants who are coming to sort of colonized Poland and uh so one of the things that he did was during Christmas he would bring out a large Christmas tree uh in front of the
The Prisoner bunkers and put the bodies of the Dead underneath it and to play a silent night uh so that um in this sort of demonic mockery of Christmas for them um and so I think that part of what is so significant about what kby did was he
Was standing for Humanity uh more than just saving the man’s life uh saving Francis gk’s life he was showing these people who were under such incredible trauma um who whose very Humanity was being broken down and attacked he was showing them that there was still goodness in the world um and when you’re
Living in such a place of Blackness and darkness even just a a small Act of Charity um not to mention the kind of Courage that that kby shown it it was restorative and healing and reminded them that there might be something else out there that God might be with them
Still Etc um something else out there beyond all this Darkness wow what a story so where is this in production then you you principal photographies I guess in the can you’re in the editing Suite now so when do you anticipate uh completing your your edit and uh you
Know sound design all of that stuff yeah so we are in the process right now of raising funds for our post- production um I think one of the things that that people perhaps don’t necessarily understand is just how expensive it is to make a movie every
Single piece of art every every role as an uh every role that that you could possibly think of in the economy is involved in making a movie you need lawyers you need uh sound designers you need uh Design interior designers to design rooms and sets so right now we’re
In uh what you call post- production and in that phase you go from uh however many terabytes and hours of footage that you have we have 20 terabytes of footage and 40 hours of of uh of footage and of sound uh bringing all of that together
Into a one and a half hour story that then is has sound design added to it that has visual effects added to it that has um a a score composed music composed and um that all coming together is what actually makes the movie uh it’s actually perhaps the longest most timec
Consuming and difficult part of the process um and right now we we knew that we didn’t have enough funds to do post- production we actually spent all the money that we had um raised on our production so uh we’re right now in the process of running this Kickstarter to
Bring other people uh from the Grassroots Catholic Community who want to see this story made um on board perhaps as partners as producers to help us make uh the film happen yeah yeah I I would encourage people to check it out we’re going to put a link to the
Kickstarter campaign in the show notes today at the stof theeccentricm crowns there’s a um there is actually the scene in the film where um he is given the two crowns by by uh Mary and we actually used Our Lady of chest toova which is sort of like the
Polish um Our Lady of Guadalupe uh as the uh as the the person of devotion who gives him the crowns um and so there’s a really beautiful but very surreal and um and almost like a little bit scary kind of mystical Vision dream sequence where
We return to that in his life while um while we’re in the cell so EX look forward to seeing that scene yeah praise be to God uh so let’s talk about distribution I think a lot of uh Catholics who make or creative types I I’ve produced two featurelength films uh
Documentary films oh wow distribution tends to be one of the biggest uh obstacles in the whole process you can get on Prime but then nobody ever watches it so what is your plan for distrib yeah so this is a a really good question I think it’s perhaps the biggest
Challenge for people who are making Catholic uh making art for the Catholic world or or even art that is Catholic but is for the world like would be more of how we would look at our film I think that um what we’ve seen in the last three years with Angel Studios um
Putting out the Chosen and sound of freedom and now mother krini we’re really seeing that uh they’re open to putting forward Catholic content and not just that they are but because they’re proving that there’s a market that uh actually desires it um because with with film uh Distributing film is a massive
Risk if you’re talking about a theatrical release perhaps I I’ve heard many different averages but we’re talking maybe $15 million to do a theatrical release for for a film on average so we are going to um we’re going to these different places now with the kickstarter data saying hey we have a
Grassroots movement of people who want to see this film this is the proof that you can uh expect to see a return and people to show up umy we’re out of time Anthony De brosio I am grateful for your time today for getting up and sharing your project with us I’m going to

Throw secret ingredients into the pancakes and I liked my pancakes chunky like like there’d be Boulders inside the pancake because there would be so many great ingredients in there and then we’d sit around the breakfast table and the kids would have to try to guess as to
What my secret ingredient was till they busted me I was putting uh I was I was putting uh flavored uh coffee creamer in there oh they they caught they totally caught me they’re like oh Dad so but like all traditions we must kill them and Destroy them and move on to
Modernism so we got rid of the pancak thing Cardinal Gregory said it’s got to die a slow and painful death or something like that slow painful Death Angel Knight says Joe needs to make pancakes for all of us oh that would be I could I could be down for

We’re going to go on a major backpacking hiking adventure with our troops of St George in April to to uh the most remote part of Texas which is still 10 hours from me and I’m in Texas and it’s 10 hours away we’re going to go to Big Ben
National Park and we’re going to hike a mountain for three days you have to carry 100% of your water needs one gallon per person per per day we’re on the we’re on the mountain for 3 Days 8 lbs per gallon just in water not food or anything
Else just in water so uh I was up late wrapping my head around how I’m going to do all that somehow I don’t remember in the Marine cor we hike we would hike for 20 miles like whatever like I don’t remember carrying 20 30 pounds of water
I don’t like like what did we not drink like well I don’t remember now like goly d w we must never had I just had a canteen that was it that’s all I remember the canteen uh I’m sure the core made sure that there was water stations along the

So beautiful so amazing so a inspiring Jake what would you say best Starfield ever um probably up in the ederon deck up in the ironic Fon Chain of Lakes there’s a there’s a dock back where we’d be uh where I worked in the Summers there was a dock out into the lake and
You could go out there and just look up and there was no light pollution it’s gorgeous tons of shooting stars when there was meteor showers it was great absolutely gorgeous chasty says uh the Water Buffalo Joe oh I forgot it’s like it’s like the big water tank on a trailer
That they would haul around with a deuce in a half I forgot about that thing although a fun fact I once rode a water buffalo in Guam that was fun nearly uh nearly impaled myself on its horns that was that was a good time that was a good

Fat reserves still I probably just don’t need to drink anything my body will take care of itself it’ll be all good like a camel it’s exactly right you know uh 316 you guys seen the signs that say 316 on them at sporting events probably not at the NFL Super Bowl though because that’s
Pagan Pagan anyway um you probably think that that 316 refers to the Gospel of John but you would be mistaken it’s not true that 316 rever refers to Leviticus 3:16 go look it up Leviticus 3:16 what’s it say the fat Belongs to the Lord all I’m saying is at
The resurrection of the dead and the general Judgment of the Nations the Lord is looking for fat sheep not skinny goats bulk up before it’s too late because uh you skinny people not only will you not survive the apocalypse but uh the judgment’s not going to go well

Flavoring stuff like like buan yeah you know what you do you know what you can do you know what we used to do back in the day back before we went like little more hardcore in our diet here at the house uh we would take
Uh an onion like a white onion and you would take you know obviously skin it and then You’ you do you mince the top of it put it in ttin foil put some bullion huge chunk of butter in there nice wrap that up put it in the oven
Until it uh I don’t know I can’t remember how long we cooked it for but it is essentially becomes french onion soup it’s so good it’s so flavorful onions you know don’t don’t even peel them just bake onions the way you would a bake potato and that turns into a nice
Nice side dish so good can’t have that either though I’m not allow to have that either ah Alexandria Hall says my carnivore trial showed me one meal is plenty ate regularly on Super Bowl Sunday and I was miserable yeah that’s the challenge with when you detox from
Sugar and carbs and then especially if you go if you get down to like one meal a day like I do and and you’ve done when you start messing with that boy your body feels it if I were to have anything sugar right now it would be
