Uncle John

Matthew 5:17 begins,

"do not think that I came to destroy the law of the prophets."

I did not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.

Because I tell all of you with certainty

that until heaven and earth disappear,

not one letter or one stroke of a letter

will disappear from the law

"until everything has been accomplished."

Hell... fire.

Those two words... "Hell fire"...

Came from Jesus's lips directly.

The son of god spoke them,

and there is no misunderstanding him.

He spoke them as two words... "Hell fire."

So as to be perfectly crystal clear on what he means,

he is describing the place, hell.

But there is a problem at work today, a mortal problem,

and we are not talking about it.

Jesus spoke those two words... "Hell fire"...

And nobody wants to hear about it.

We are comforted by Jesus the savior, Jesus the healer.

God who sent his only son

down to earth itself to sacrifice himself for us,

and we feel good when we repeat those stories.

We fold our hands in thanks

and then move about our lives as though all is fine,

but we do not want to think about those actual words.

You can walk this earth

and claim he is in you all you want,

but you will be judged on your actions.

Hell is real. It does exist.

Hell fire... simply spoken, and praise be to god for it.

And if you don't want to think about that,

you need to be ready.

We are all going to die, every one of us.

It could be in 80 years.

Could be right outside those doors.

It does not matter.

We all stand before him for our judgment.

You need to think about where you are going to wake up.

Are you ready?

In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

You can be seated.

- Going to coffee, yeah? - What's that?

You headed to coffee?

Well, um... I was thinking about it,

but I got a couple of things to do today.

Maybe catch you up for the afternoon round.

All right. Might see you later, then, yeah.

Dale!

John.

Yeah. Yeah, good, good.

You?

Yeah, yeah.

Say, uh, I'm gonna be burning

over at the quarry and stuff today.

And, uh...

Yeah, no, no.

I just don't want you two worrying

and come rushing over there again.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, well, not that much stuff yet,

but you know, I had such a heck of a time with that big pile

last time that, uh, you know,

I just thought I'd take care of it today.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I follow, yeah.

Yeah, what do you got?

Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, you could throw it on there,

yeah.

Well, you are not messing around anymore, are you?

Yeah, well, I'm too old to mess around anymore.

Just toss on a lot of gas up front and kick on back.

All right, we'll get to kicking back.

I won't be a minute.

That log looks pretty good over there.

Why don't you take a seat, relax,

and there's these apple turnovers Mary baked up today.

Why don't you enjoy those?

Good lord, I love that woman.

I apologize, Dale, but I do.

All right, well, go grab a seat.

All right.

- John, hey! - Yeah.

- You all right? - Yeah, why?

Your leg, is it bleeding?

What?

Oh, must have caught myself on something.

You sure? Let's take a look.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'll check it out later.

Okay.

And thank Mary for me.

You know what I'm saying? If I don't feed 'em...

Oh, you don't get a check? Oh, okay.

You know, there's someone at home.

- Hey, miss Jenkins. - Better put that on hold.

You have to call that 1-800 number on the back.

- I left a note. - I don't care about that.

I need your I.D. And his I.D.

I left a note.

I don't care about the exits, okay?

Bye!

2974!

It integrates your muscles rather than isolates them.

Uhhuh.

Bow fitness workout system

transforms your body's vulnerabilities into strengths.

Okay.

It's actually surprisingly hard.

What's another one?

All right, try this one.

Hold your arm like this.

Uhhuh.

And do a squat.

Uh, nope.

Yeah, well, I mean,

why don't you buy a gym membership or something, man?

That's the first thing I did when Claire and I broke up.

You guys broke up?

- Yeah, before the wedding. - Hmm.

For about a year.

Yeah, I thought it was gonna be all party in the USA,

and just ended up watching a lot of netflix.

- I believe it. - And porn.

Huh?

Yeah, I was just thinking about all the old porno

I used to watch.

Like old, actual old porno?

Yeah, vintage stuff.

How old?

I can't remember. There's so much of it.

Just a blur of flesh?

- Yep. - Nice.

Yeah.

Anyway, I looked good.

I had the d'Angelo lines.

Yeah, what was that song?

I don't know. I can't remember.

Google it.

Oh, it was "brown sugar"?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

No, it was "brown sugar."

- No, trust me on this. - No, it was "brown sugar."

- No. - Mm-hmm.

Okay, thanks.

Um... as you have undoubtedly figured out by now,

we've brought on a new junior producer.

Miss Katelyn Barnes.

Hi.

She comes to us fresh from New York City.

So make her feel at home. She's so cute.

She's gonna be working you guys into the ground soon enough,

so now's your chance to make friends.

Welcome, Katelyn.

So, Beth, what's the cake?

Real cake?

God damn it.

You know, vegan cake is not real cake.

Cake needs eggs. Just keep your voice down.

- Cake needs butter. - I know.

Gracias. Mm-hmm.

Danke.

I don't know why I'm doing this.

Thanks.

I'm slowly killing myself.

Eat the cake. Just eat the frosting, then.

- Yeah. - Better?

Unhunh, worse.

What is this? What... what's happening here?

I don't... I don't get this.

You know, I'm glad that you decided to come here.

I mean, um... I mean, New York is fine,

and it's a fine place to live, but if you're gonna work there, it's dead.

There's nothing going on there, and I mean, that's doubly true for L.A.

I mean, if you see something that's bad, you know it's from New York.

If you see something that just sucks ass,

you know it's from L.A... It's been that way for years.

Yeah, I'm really excited to be here.

Oh, it's good. I mean, there's gonna be opportunity here.

Frankly, a lot of these folks that you see here, you know,

they haven't worked out like I thought they were going to,

but I got... I got a lot of hope for you.

I got a lot of confidence in you.

Thank you, thank you. I'm really excited.

I know, it's great. Are you moved in and everything?

Do you like where you're staying?

You like where you moved? I really like my place.

- Yeah, yeah, good, good. - The rent's great here, too.

Gonna need a coat. It gets colder than hell here.

- Right, yeah. - Colder than New York...

A lot colder. Yeah, I bought some coats.

Yeah, a big fucking coat.

Yeah.

Mm, boots, too,

because the snow is just... god damn, it snows.

My farmer the other day. He's telling me,

got to do this with the margins, got to do that with...

What the hell are you talking about?
