Speaker B:Hello everyone everywhere.
Speaker B:Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.
Speaker B:Welcome to the Kingdom Crossroads podcast.
Speaker B:Today we're so blessed you're joining us.
Speaker B:In today's world, prophetic signs seem to be aligning like never before.
Speaker B:From global conflicts to economic instability, from Israel's pivotal role in prophecy to technological advancements paving the way for a one world system, it is clear that the chess pieces are all moving into place.
Speaker B:But how close are we to the tribulation?
Speaker B:What does the help of Pope Francis believe to be the final pope according to Saint Malachi's prophecy?
Speaker B:How does his health right now, his health problems mean for the end time events?
Speaker B:Well, join us today as we dive into these pressing questions with our good friend Scott Wright.
Speaker B:Scott has been on before.
Speaker B:He's author of the God Center Concepts Journal and host of the God Center Concept Podcast.
Speaker B:Help me welcome to the program our good friend, Scott Wright.
Speaker B:Scott, it's a blessing to have you back on the program today, brother, because we got a lot to talk about and I mean a lot.
Speaker B:Amen, man.
Speaker C:It's great to be here, but I'm ready to get it rolling and let's have another fun, fruitful discussion.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Well, you shared with me, you know, this is kind of like looking at a chessboard.
Speaker B:Yes, I call it the chessboard prophecy or chessboard of prophecy.
Speaker B:And you said that the chess pieces, they're being moved right now into place.
Speaker B:What are the key pieces that must be in position for the tribulation to unfold according to biblical prophecy?
Speaker C:Well, the first thing is, is that there has to be some alignment with Israel and, and you know that's going to be, that's one of the primary keys.
Speaker C:And here's the thing, Israel is, is getting in a strong position where there could be something that could happen at the temple and them being able to build that third temple, you know, we could, I, I believe that that's going to happen at some point here in the next 10 to 15 years.
Speaker C:And you know, you Think about the Abrahamic Accords.
Speaker C:See, that's a big one.
Speaker C:And, and what's interesting about those accords is that kind of went unnoticed for a while because we were in the midst of a global crisis with COVID Yeah.
Speaker C:That was being done right at the very end of Trump's first presidency and when he was president.
Speaker C:45.
Speaker C:But that was a huge thing.
Speaker C:And you had.
Speaker C:The UAE was one of those countries that normalize relations.
Speaker C:And of course then we have the attacks and you know, one of the potential motives of the attacks of Hamas and Hezbollah with obviously Iran funneling all the money that they had made after Biden had taken office and him removing all the restrictions and embargoes and all the, all the sanctions that they had against Iran and they took that money and they funded them.
Speaker C:And part of it was, is because.
Speaker C:And even though it's not being talked about that much, Saudi Arabia had been talking about normalized relations with Israel.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:And them being part of that Abrahamic Accords.
Speaker C:That is a big deal.
Speaker C:I would really, if you're.
Speaker C:Look, I know there's people out there, they have these, quote, visions or little spine tingling feelings that they have with prophecy.
Speaker C:And I listen to them all the time.
Speaker C:But guys, look at the evidence.
Speaker C:You know, when I give you prophetic, a prophetic visionary statement, I'm using not just what I'm getting in prayer, but I align that with evidence.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker C:Because even in the Old Testament there was always evidence.
Speaker C:You know, the prophet speaking was always the last part of it.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:It's kind of like the last warning when, when God, you know, God used the priests and the kings, but when they had turned away from him or Israel was not following them and then there would be evidence and then the prophets would speak.
Speaker C:In those prophets, that was your last warning.
Speaker C:That was like exactly it.
Speaker C:I mean, you.
Speaker C:Yeah, you're.
Speaker C:He's getting ready to throw the flamethrower on you if you don't do, if you don't do what he's saying.
Speaker C:And this is what's going to happen.
Speaker C:So, you know, prophecy, I don't believe it's changed.
Speaker C:God hasn't changed.
Speaker C:He's the same yesterday, today and forever.
Speaker C:And so these Abrahamic accords to me are a big deal.
Speaker C:And I would really pay attention to how that unfolds with the global situation that's going on.
Speaker C:You've got China that's kind of teetering on the point of being aggressive.
Speaker C:But they're trying to do it under their radar.
Speaker C:And obviously the whole Taiwan situation, the AI thing, the trade wars.
Speaker C:So they're trying to do it more technologically and economically.
Speaker C:You got Russia and Ukraine and I mean that's a fiasco.
Speaker C:But you know, I mean it just is, it's like it's something completely different every day and you just kind of wonder the stability of the two leaders.
Speaker C:But if you look at Russia, you know, Russia in many ways is involved in prophecy and so.
Speaker C:Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:I mean them being sparked here and thinking they can be aggressive without any type of retribution or any type of accountability to that.
Speaker C:They, that just makes them more emboldened to be, continue to be aggressive.
Speaker C:It just makes unfortunately appeasement, makes the aggressor more aggressive.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Because if they can get away with it.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Well, you know, many scholars believe that Israel is playing a central role right now in end time prophecies.
Speaker B:What's the most significant developments in the Middle east right now that's pointing to biblical fulfillment?
Speaker C:Well, I think them being able to, Israel really stepping up their, their posturing over with these, with these groups of Hezbollah and Hamas that did the, that had those attacks, they're, they're going to control these areas harder.
Speaker C:And when they do that, the more that they do that, the more that they take control and the more that the United States supports that and, and also promotes peace, I think eventually that's going to give way to an ability or the ability for them to be able to build that temple.
Speaker C:I do.
Speaker C:And here's the thing.
Speaker C:That Temple Mount, that where the Dome of the Rock is right now sits on a fault line and it is nothing but rubble underneath.
Speaker C:It's not solid ground.
Speaker C:It wouldn't take much of just a decent earthquake for that thing to come down.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:And then all of a sudden, you know, they have all the pieces in place to build that temple.
Speaker C:Everything's already ready.
Speaker C:They up to the red, I mean they got the red heifers.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:I mean it's like.
Speaker B:And they're only going to be alive so long.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:So I mean, you know, and, and they're going to have, they've got, they got everything in place.
Speaker C:They got all the building structures, materials, engineers, everybody ready to go.
Speaker C:And especially with today's technology and ability to build, it wouldn't take them that long to build that.
Speaker B:Yeah, I, I, I've read some stuff or seen some, so I can't remember now which, where the, you know, they said they could have the whole temple built within a year.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Easily.
Speaker B:And but in the meantime, they could have the tabernacle in place in a matter of hours.
Speaker B:Yep, exactly six hours.
Speaker B:They get the go ahead, the tabernacle, be up there in six hours, and then they'll start building the temple after that.
Speaker C:That isn't going to be as hard as it was back in Moses's day.
Speaker B:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:They don't have to make it.
Speaker B:They got it all.
Speaker B:All they got to do is assemble it.
Speaker B:You know, in the military, we'd pull into an area if we had to put up a GP medium tent.
Speaker B:You know, it's one that sleep probably, you know, 20 people inside.
Speaker B:You know, we could have that thing set up in 15, 20 minutes.
Speaker B:You know, I mean, so, I mean, and when they get the go ahead, it's going to be quick.
Speaker B:It is going to be quick, but something will be there fast, you know, and, you know, many scholars believe, you know, that.
Speaker B:Well, I'm going to put it like this.
Speaker B:What is.
Speaker B:How could I say this?
Speaker B:Lord Revelation speaks of a global system under the Antichrist.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker B:How close are we to seeing a type of centralized government, digital currency or systematic total control?
Speaker C:Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because this technology piece is a big deal.
Speaker C: And back in the earlier: Speaker C:They're still trying to figure out who the person was that developed Bitcoin.
Speaker C:So you had that being developed yet, hologram technology being developed?
Speaker C:And, you know, there's.
Speaker C:I've seen it.
Speaker C:I've even seen it on video where I think it was an Atlantic Hawks game that I was watching.
Speaker C:And there they did.
Speaker C:I saw their, like in a quarter show and it looked like all of a sudden the lights kind of went out and it was all this technology piece and it looked like the floor disappeared and there was this whole hologram imaging and all this kind of crazy entertainment stuff.
Speaker C:And it's, you know, they were able to create that illusion.
Speaker C:And that's been a while.
Speaker C:You know, that's been what, 10, 12 years, I think, when I.
Speaker C:Since I saw that.
Speaker C:So my point is this, is that that technology is even further now.
Speaker C:So we've got hologram technology.
Speaker C:We've got now AI, which I want to get to that part in a minute.
Speaker C:We now have digital currency that is being used to buy and sell already.
Speaker C:We have ability to chip, you know, to put chips in people.
Speaker C:I mean, you know, if.
Speaker C:If you have a medical device that's put on you, it has a chip.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:So, you know, we have medical devices and stuff like that.
Speaker C:People are getting tattoos like it's no big deal anymore.
Speaker C:And that technology is really quick, so you could see people getting barcodes being put on them just with a tattoo that you'd have to wear.
Speaker C:So that's an easy thing.
Speaker C:And then here's the big one.
Speaker C:And 911 is really what created.
Speaker C:This is what I call the surveillance nation.
Speaker C:I mean, yeah, you and I were talking about some of your.
Speaker C:Your cop days and everything being recorded and all that stuff.
Speaker C:And you know, I've had.
Speaker C:When I've Uber drive, I've had.
Speaker C:I had a dash cam and all that stuff.
Speaker C:I mean, the.
Speaker C:The ability to be able to record everything you have.
Speaker C:You have cameras at every street corner.
Speaker C:I mean, if you guys ever saw the show Persons of Interest, I mean.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker B:That was a good show.
Speaker C:Yeah, it was a good show.
Speaker C:And it kind of gives you a highlight of really, their.
Speaker C:The global surveillance.
Speaker C:I mean, satellite technology.
Speaker C:You've got all the cameras everywhere.
Speaker C:Everything's being recorded all the time.
Speaker C:We.
Speaker C:I mean, and you don't even need those cameras because everybody's got them on their phones.
Speaker B:Yeah, some people have them in their cars.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:So the ability to record and track is really.
Speaker C:That may be as big a piece to this as anything.
Speaker C:And so, you know, just like on our computers here, we've got.
Speaker C:We're sitting here talking on an I camera.
Speaker C:You know, I've got.
Speaker C:Yeah, I've got my desktop camera and you know that here, and you've got yours.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And so we're able to communicate back and forth from, you know, over a thousand miles away.
Speaker C:And so, you know, you start bringing all that together and then you start creating AI that has the ability to think and act human, but yet it never needs to go to the bathroom, it never needs sleep.
Speaker C:It's a 247 thing.
Speaker C:We already have a Chinese company that has an AI as its CEO.
Speaker B:Oh, really?
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker C:So, you know, you.
Speaker C:You got to start thinking about this.
Speaker C:And the problem is, is people are starting to see some of the dangers of AI but the genie's out of the bottle.
Speaker C:And now you got these countries competing to get further ahead than the other countries, just like what happened with the nuclear arms race and industrial revolution.
Speaker C:And which is why Britain, you know, Britain got ahead of all the countries is what happened.
Speaker C:That's why they were the most dominant country in the world for so long.
Speaker C:And as they say, the sun never sets on the British Empire, but a global governance is not that Far fetched anymore when you consider all these pieces, these are all these chess pieces and this AI, you know, people keep talking about like, like when you read in the Bible, you talk, you look at the Antichrist and it.
Speaker C:How it's going to be killed, the Antichrist can be killed and come back to life and all this stuff.
Speaker C:Well, how easy is that with AI?
Speaker B:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker C:I mean, exactly.
Speaker C:In the AI programming.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:It's just, it's simple.
Speaker C:I mean, so this AI thing, I would really pay attention to this because I think it is going to have a huge influence in the next 10 years.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:And AI is going to completely change the way we live.
Speaker C:It is, it's going to be already done that and it already is.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:But I mean it's going to be, it's going to be a paradigm shift.
Speaker C:Like in 10 years, like nothing we've seen.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B: istry, so this, I want to say: Speaker B:But it was talking about the Saint Malachi prophecy and this was, you know, talking about the last Pope that, you know, they had already run through, you know, their Malachi had given a list of all the Popes in existence, started with Pope number one.
Speaker B:And then he got down, you know, about all the Popes that had been.
Speaker B:And then he started talking about the ones that were coming in the future.
Speaker B:And you know, he gave, you know, obviously he couldn't give them a name, you know, 200 years ahead or something like that.
Speaker B:But you know, he would say this Pope will be about this.
Speaker B:And this is where, you know, he gave basically a description of this Pope's ministry during his reign.
Speaker B:And then he got down to what was called, you know, the last Pope would be this one.
Speaker B:And if you go back and look at all the poll, they're all nailed.
Speaker B:You know, he's prophesying, you know, 50, 100 years ahead of himself and he's nailing the description of every single Pope, where they're from, what their mission will be.
Speaker B:You know, the, you know, everyone has their own interpretation of how they're going to operate.
Speaker B:And, and he nailed all of them, got to the last Pope and he said, now with this last Pope, he's the last one, because after him, Jesus is coming.
Speaker B:You know, and that's the prophecy that the la.
Speaker B:After the last one, the last Pope dies.
Speaker B:It's all over, you know, and he nailed it all the way down, even to the point of this pope being a Jesuit.
Speaker B:Right?
Speaker B:And I mean, he, he just.
Speaker B:And it's.
Speaker B:All the prophecies have been there.
Speaker B:And according to his prophecy, Pope Francis is the final Pope before the return of Jesus.
Speaker B:And now he's in the hospital.
Speaker B:With declining health and growing speculation about Vatican leadership.
Speaker B:Do you see any prophetic significance in his eventual passing?
Speaker B:If something.
Speaker B:I mean, the guy's old, he's got health problems.
Speaker B:We know something's going to happen.
Speaker B:We don't know when, but could this just be another sign that we are entering the final prophetic timeline?
Speaker C:So you wanted to make sure that we have another episode, didn't you?
Speaker C:I'm gonna have to get up.
Speaker C:This is, this is one area I've not studied and I'm not gonna pretend that I have.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker C:Obviously I'm gonna have to get read up on, on the, the Malachi prophecy of the Popes.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Yeah, I just seen on the news yesterday where, you know, he's in the hospital with health problem.
Speaker B:They thought it was a cold, but now it's more than that.
Speaker B:And he's in declining health and all that.
Speaker B:And I texted a friend of mine because he's the one who told me about the book way back when.
Speaker B:I said, hey, did you see this?
Speaker B:He goes, yeah, type thing.
Speaker B:So I gotta dig the book out and go through it again.
Speaker B:That's why I was trying to remember everything I could about it.
Speaker B:But yeah, I mean, to me that's just another signpost that, yeah, check the box.
Speaker B:All these things have to happen before Jesus.
Speaker B:We just check another box here, you know, and, you know, I mean, how long do we have?
Speaker B:You know, no one knows the day or hour.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker B:But based on the signs we see, how close do you believe we are to the tribulation period?
Speaker B:Not are we in the final moments before it all begins.
Speaker C: u like to always allude to my: Speaker C:And there's some other signs and reasons why I think that.
Speaker C:I believe this AI technology needs to get a little more advanced.
Speaker C:I think digital currency needs to become a little more stable.
Speaker C:But I also think what's happening is, is the, the world is becoming more unstable.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker C:And I think that's.
Speaker C:That actually is going to lend credibility for issuing.
Speaker C:Having a one world governance.
Speaker C:You know, we, we sort of have a semblance of it right now with the United Nations.
Speaker C:You know, it's like, it's like there's little pieces of it in place.
Speaker C:But, you know, I think that we, we're not quite there yet, but you can see it getting there pretty quick.
Speaker C:I mean, and I believe that it can.
Speaker C:And here, I'll give you guys something to, to look at.
Speaker C:It's called a Super Tetrad.
Speaker C:All right, Just look up what a Super Tetrad is.
Speaker C:And most people have never.
Speaker C: be a Super Tetrad in the year: Speaker C:They don't have one on record ever happening.
Speaker C:And what this is, is four blood moons.
Speaker C:Just like the whole four blood moons thing.
Speaker C:But with each one, they'll also be a solar eclipse.
Speaker C:That'll be relatively in between each part of that.
Speaker C:You know, so you have a blood moon, have a solar eclipse, blood moon, solar eclipse, blood moon, solar eclipse, blood moon, solar eclipse.
Speaker C:It's never happened, at least as far as they have on record.
Speaker C:And so for that to all happen, that is a major sign.
Speaker C: exactly seven years later, in: Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker C:So there's, there's an awakening right there that I think, you know, there will be signs in heavens, in the heavens.
Speaker C:And that's what they would have been referring to when they, when those things were written with stuff like that, you know, with lunar eclipses and all the.
Speaker B:You know, Jesus said the sun will be darkened and the moon will turn to blood.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And, and I'm going to tell you right now, with technology the way it is, you get an AI in control.
Speaker C:And there's a part of the world that is getting a.
Speaker C:Off the beaten track.
Speaker C:What if it decides to fire nuclear weapons at a part of the world?
Speaker C:Well, let me tell you something.
Speaker C:If you want to understand nuclear winter, I actually was listening to Glenn Beck and there was a lady on there that was talking about it and I, I could have sworn she was just preaching right out of the book of Revelation of the aftermath of what that would be.
Speaker C:How the sun, you wouldn't be able to see the sun because of the ash and all the stuff and the, you know, the nuclear winter and all that stuff.
Speaker C:I mean, it's almost like they're describing that, you know, that also is what can happen if you have a massive meteorite hit in an area too.
Speaker C:So it's very similar to a nuclear weapon.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And we got some of those massive volcano goes off.
Speaker B:They're trying to say that, oh, it'll, it's going to pass.
Speaker B:Yeah, it's going to pass.
Speaker B:The, the asteroid Apophis is going to pass between the Earth and where our satellites are.
Speaker B:I mean, that's what, 25, 26, 27,000 miles is the stationary satellite.
Speaker B:This asteroid is going to us and the satellites, and that's what they're predicting.
Speaker B:Oh, don't worry, it's not going to hit us.
Speaker B:Don't worry, he'll pass.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Because what else would they say?
Speaker B:Oh, man, it's over.
Speaker B:Imagine the chaos to be going on.
Speaker B:So they got to say it's going to pass us.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker B:And then when it hits, they'll deal with the aftermath, you know, once it hits.
Speaker B:But, but they don't want people planning on, you know, what you're even around.
Speaker C:To talk about it.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:I mean, it's, you know, all I can say is, you know, with all these signs converging, what should Christians be doing right now to be spiritually prepared and emotionally prepared, even practically prepared for what's coming?
Speaker C:Well, I think, number one, we need to, we need to be talking to people about the truth.
Speaker C:And number two, we need to be diving into the truth.
Speaker C:You know, we need to be, you need to be connecting with God all the time.
Speaker C:We need to be reading our Bibles, we need to be in prayer and we need to be praying for other people's souls.
Speaker C:We do.
Speaker C:And for God to soften the ground in people's hearts to receive the seeds of the Gospel.
Speaker C:So that'll, those seeds of the Gospel and his truth will plant in their hearts and grow in their hearts and they will come to Christ.
Speaker C:That's what we need to be praying.
Speaker C:Because look, if when we look at, like when we look at our lives through the lens of this life, then you're always going to think about your fleshly needs.
Speaker C:But if you look through the lens of God and you look at it the way he sees it, you're always going to view life through the eternal perspective.
Speaker C:And we need to be walking in that eternal perspective.
Speaker C:You know, who can we reach?
Speaker C:Are we, are we making disciples?
Speaker C:I mean, the Great Commission, we need to be fulfilling the Great Commission.
Speaker C:And that's the other piece of this is the Great Commission hasn't been fully fulfilled yet.
Speaker C:You know, that will be fulfilled before all this completes.
Speaker C:But there are, so here's interesting.
Speaker C: ve that done by the end of the: Speaker C:And then you've got Dubai, UAE, which we've talked about as potentially Babylon the Great.
Speaker C:And it, it really fits the description.
Speaker C:And if you compare Las Vegas being that entertainment area in New Orleans, and you compare it to the Dubai.
Speaker C:Dubai is like the Ferrari and they're like the little, you know, Pinto over here that's made in the nineteen early eighties and late seventies.
Speaker C:So it's, it's not even a comparison.
Speaker C: d wealthiest city on Earth by: Speaker C: I think it's called Project: Speaker C:So, you know, that kind of.
Speaker B:Again, that's up there too.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker C: ch evidence for the end of the: Speaker C:And we've talked about, I've talked to you guys about, you know, the seven ages of the church and how it really fits, it really fits into a pattern.
Speaker C:And God put that pattern there for us to, to see it that way, you know, for us to understand it.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:But it's funny, that pattern isn't going to be when revealed here till the end.
Speaker B:Yeah, you know, amen.
Speaker C:You know, it's just like Daniel, the Daniel prophecy, seal these things up until.
Speaker B:The time of the end.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:And it's not just that there's so many things that are being unsealed.
Speaker C:There's so many pieces to all of this.
Speaker B:And Amen.
Speaker C: k, I think it, I think in the: Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker C:And I'm not going to predict some rapture that's.
Speaker C:I'm staying away from that because first of all, nobody knows for sure.
Speaker C:And there's so much different, varying pieces of evidence in different directions.
Speaker C:You know, pre trib, mid trip poster.
Speaker C:I mean, there's all these things.
Speaker C:I don't really dive into the whole rapture thing.
Speaker C:I let, I just let all the other scholars talk about that one.
Speaker C:And it'll happen when it happens, is the way.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's why, that's my feeling too.
Speaker B:So, you know, I'm, I'm praying for the first one.
Speaker B:But if I gotta stick around, it still doesn't matter.
Speaker B:I know I got my ticket, but they say all aboard.
Speaker B:I get on.
Speaker B:Scott, this has been so interesting.
Speaker B:If anyone has questions, like more information, how should they get in touch with.
Speaker C: e at GCC God Centered Concept: Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Folks, things are lining up just like the Bible and other prophecy experts said they would.
Speaker B:You know, when I heard, like I said the other day, Pope Francis was in the hospital, the serious illness, my mind immediately went back to what I read a year before he even came into office, the Malachi prophecy.
Speaker B:And now here we are.
Speaker B:All I can tell you, though, is the same thing Jesus told his disciples in Luke 21, verse 34, 36.
Speaker B:Watch.
Speaker B:Watch.
Speaker B:Therefore, pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass and to stand before the Son of man.
Speaker B:Jesus urged his followers not to be weighed down by distractions or sin or anxieties of life, but just remain spiritually awake.
Speaker B:And that's what Scott's talking about.
Speaker B:It's more than passive observation, though.
Speaker B:It's about active preparation.
Speaker B:Just as a soldier remains on guard duty or a bride waiting for her groom with expectation, we are called to be spiritually alert, prayerful, and ready for his return at any moment.
Speaker B:And it looks like that moment is going to get close here very, very soon.
Speaker B:Amen.
Speaker B:Scott, I appreciate you coming back on the program and I look forward to the next discussion, which I have a feeling it's going to be about that Malachi prophecy.
Speaker C:Yeah, I can tell you already setting up the next for us for our next discussion, so, hey, we're looking forward to that.
Speaker C:I'll have to do some reading up on that one that I'm familiar with, and I'm not gonna.
Speaker B:I gotta go back and find my notes.
Speaker B:I know I did a program on it way back when it was on, you know, but I said this is probably 10, at least 10 years ago, you know, so I gotta go back and I keep records of everything.
Speaker B:So I just gotta go back and find it, start researching again.
Speaker B:I got the book up here in the bookshelf.
Speaker B:I'll pull it out, too.
Speaker B:Amen.
