"Shane mcclanahan became the first pitcher in baseball to reach the 8 win mark as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7 to three. Mcclanahan allowed just a single run in 7 innings of work to improve to 8 zero on the year. My only motive, I think anybody in here can attest that is did we win? As long as I help this team and put them in a good situation to win that's really truthfully all I care about, everything else will take care of itself.

Mcclanahan says there's a reason he's 7 and O. If you don't get wins, your boys behind you don't make the plays or contribute and these guys have gone above and beyond so do every single thing the right way and play hard and be great teammates and I'm lucky to be a part of that. Or you'll start or Kyle Gibson pitched well allowing two runs over 6 innings but fell to four and two, the rays have opened up a 6 and a half game lead over the Orioles in the American League east.

Joe Biden Knew Hunter's Burisma Connection
"On believable. And Mike, I want to make sure that people catch this because you were on that flight on April 21st of 2014, but you mentioned a date of April 18th, 2014, about Joe Biden, Joe Biden knew Joe Biden knew that Hunter Biden was on the board of arithmetic at the time. He denied knowing any of that, am I wrong? That's correct. That's absolutely correct. He knew. And he knew because on April 16th, hunter Biden and his burisma fellow board member Devin archer go into The White House and meet Joe Biden in the west wing. There's photos of Devin archer in this meeting, but there's a lot of evidence in the laptop emails. There's a daily schedule. I want to meet Devin and his son Luke at The White House at 1115. Hunter Biden was there. And they're trying to pretend he wasn't. He was there to set up this board this board position. He accepted it on the 18th. And here's a funny bit about the 18th.

"Talk about the weaknesses. Let's talk about the good stuff to begin with. Well, a lot of it is the details. I mean, you've got, first of all, who walks in at the beginning of the film. It's captain Picard. And it's Al and it's Al from quantum leap who turns out to be the traitor in the film spoiler alert. Yes. And I'm just sitting there, I'm going, okay, these are already childhood favorites of mine. And Patrick Stewart. Dean Stockwell, an amazing cast. There are some really stand out actors. I actually think that the lead was quite well cast. I think he was quite well cast. And the chick that was in you'll know her name. The chick that was in Blade Runner. Yeah, from Blade Runner. Absolutely beautiful. And even his mother absolutely stunning woman and did a really good job and they did really, really well. Like some of the actors did really well in this film. And even the actors that I think I didn't like because they were too theatrical. I think they were actually fine because I think that's maybe what the director wanted, but it's not what I want to see in a sci-fi film. Talking about theatrical just for a second column, the lead Paul atreides. He had just graduated, theater school. He was in a play in Seattle. He never been to LA, never been to allay as an actor. And this was the first time he'd ever done anything for TV or movies. Not too bad. Yeah, and he was well, I mean, he has that fresh face. He has that look of optimism that sort of Luke Skywalker esque character. And yeah, I think he was well cast. Again, I just think it was a little too theatrical, but you know, there are things like if I compare the main villain, the primary villain. The baron, the baron, the baron, harkonnen. If I compare him to Darth Vader, Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains in the history of cinema. Darth Vader looks cool. Okay, Darth Vader looks cool. Harkonnen is revolting.
What Bitcoin Did
Luke Gromen Paid Off His Mortgage With Bitcoin
"So September 20 shortly after we spoke, I ratcheted up my allocation pretty meaningfully actually. When it broke over 20,000 November of 2020, if you remember it was Thanksgiving weekend here. And I looked at my wife and I said, it went through 20,000 with such authority, having been in markets a long time. I just said, that's meaningful. So I ratchet it up my allocation. I bet it peak, I was probably in 2021. I don't know, I was probably 40% at one point. Of my liquid net worth between what I bought in four Q 20 and one Q 21, early one Q 21. And then what it ran to, that summer, June of 21, I actually sold most of it. To be blunt, I paid off my house. I just figured, you know what? Worst case. Love it. I'm gonna get that free on this. And again, haven't been around markets. The pace at which it grow and you were seeing the fed start to talk about talk about tightening. So it was just like, okay, you know what? Worst case, I'm out of debt. So I did that still owned by 5% of my liquid net worth. Began adding back in at the end of 21, too early, of course. But it is what it is. And then have actually, again, having been around markets long enough, people always say, you know, you want to, what is the famous Rothschild? You want to buy when there's blood in the streets, even if it's yours. Having been around markets and watching what happened with the exchanges last year in the fall, that to me was sort of like a classic, okay. This is a liquidation. And yes, some of the blood is mine. And so I actually reentered it back up pretty meaningfully. And you really sub 20 again. So we're back to full circle. Here we go. Full circle, but with no mortgage now. That's exactly it. And yeah, my guess is now I'll probably have a little bit more discipline or more holding power because I won't have that temptation. I'm like, hey, well, I could just get completely out of debt because I'm largely completely added that already.

Your Daily Prayer
Reach Out in Faith
"And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the beautiful gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple he asked to receive alms and Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John and said, look at us. And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them, but Peter said, I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and raised him up and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. Axe three two through 7. There have been times in my life where I have felt invisible, even though I'm surrounded by people. The heartache of feeling is though I'm always looking in, but never a part of something robs my hope. And leaves me with resignation that invisibility will always be my identity. The book of acts tells us the history of the early church, and Luke chose the included events with care. One of these events centered around the lame beggar who spent his days at the beautiful gate. Peter and John crossed this man's path every day. We know from acts two 46 that the believers met daily in the temple and the beggar may have been so much a part of the scenery that he faded into the background. He knew what it was like to be overlooked and feel people's pity and scorn. She had been there for years and likely witnessed many of the healings and miracles of Jesus as well as Jesus's accusers and opponents. The temple courts were like his daytime drama entertainment. I wonder if he ever imagined the miracles he witnessed could ever be his. When we endure a struggle, we question if anyone sees or cares. We watch the blessings rain down on a friend's life and we struggle to rejoice because morning marks our life like a permanent marker. On the day of Pentecost, Peter spoke to the crowds and thousands believed in Jesus, a revival began the temple courts swelled with people to learn and fellowship together. And the lame beggar, the outsider looking in, watched it all. In any great revival, there will always be people like the lame beggar at the beautiful gate. The broken and the beautiful past through this life side by side and God calls us to look for both. To see where God is on the move and who needs a touch from the lord.

Adultery, Questions, Answers: Jesus Is Put to the Test
"Leads me to the story and then the lesson for today, if you would. And that is that in the Bible in the New Testament, which is the gospels for which Matthew Mark Luke and John first for John is the fourth. John wrote the gospel narrating Jesus life. And if you're not from a Christian background, this is the record of what Jesus did historically did while he was here. In his ministry. In one of those stories, he is confronted with a group of Jewish leaders in Jewish citizens and an interesting situation. They were trying to catch him. How many times in today's world and for those of us who do interviews a lot for those of us who are on media, and even in normal life, you're going to have there's a lot more of the gotcha mentality out there. There's much more of the gotcha thought that I'm going to ask a question. I've had to reporters who would do this. They would ask questions to get you. They were got you questions. As you grow in doing interviews, you learn to take those questions and turn them around. You don't take them on the face value. You answer. The question is what you want to answer, and you don't accept the premise of a got to your question. But if you're not used to it, it can catch you and you get thrown off. Jesus in his ministry, he was teaching, and he was doing administering these leaders brought to him. His spears and John chapter 8. So if you're in the scripture, you go to John, the book and John, if you have a Bible for a return to the new test, but you can find it there, find John. Look for the chapter. And it's the very first one through 11. And this is where he says in the Jesus was it the amount of olives in dawn appeared, and people did gather around him to teach, but then there was these teachers of the law, the pharisees who came there, and they brought a woman who was caught in adultery. Okay, this is a story that if you've been in charge, you understand the story. If you've not been in charge, this was a breaking of the law in this time and they brought this lady, which I think is always interesting. I always hope one of this out in my years of pastoring and mentoring is where, to my mind, where was the man in this situation? And it was left out, but as you look at it here, the woman was brought and the, they stood her before the group, and before Jesus said. Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of military, and in the law, Moses, commanded us to stone such one. Now, what do you say? And they were using this scripture actually says they were using this as a trap. In order to base this or accusing him because they were wanting to see what he said.

"Now let's get to this real quick and then I'm going to move on, okay? I'm going to get to this and I'm going to move on. I just got one more thing to say about Jesus of Nazareth. I want to make sure that I say this because I know a lot of people that are listening curious or not curious about Jesus Christ saved and some of y'all ain't say, let's just keep it 100. I want people to understand this very clearly. You must be born again. If you are Christian, yeah, you ain't this or whatever, just hear me out and go study it for yourself. But if you're a Christian or you're pursuing Christianity or you want to know more about Jesus Christ, read the Bible, learn about Christ, read the gospels. I would argue start with the Old Testament and genesis until it get boring. I'm just keeping it 100. Regenerative to the get boring, then go read the gospels. And once you've read the gospels read the book of acts, the gospels is Matthew Mark Luke and John. Then read the book of acts. The acts of the apostles, meaning that's when the original church was started by Peter in the book of acts. So you can know the foundation of the church and you know what the apostles were teaching after just hearing from Jesus watching him a sin in the heaven and then going off on a day of Pentecost ten days later from his Ascension. So regenesis so you know the beginning of the world and the beginning of God's creation and how God kind of started all these things out and then you start reading the gospels about Jesus Christ and how Jesus Christ is, you know, I guess revealed to us in the New Testament.

Debunking the Biggest Christian Myths
"We of course have the four gospels, the first three gospels are called synoptic gospels. They were written roughly in the order of Mark Matthew, then Luke then John, but it's debated whether or not Matthew or mark came first. I can tell you and make the case for Christianity. By using the three E's. And we'll go one by one. First and foremost, we have to dispel this myth that well, maybe Jesus didn't actually die. Maybe Jesus was wounded, put inside of a tomb and then he came out afterwards. But between independent scholars, there is no dispute that Jesus actually died. Did you know that we have 5 ancient non biblical sources from tacitus josephus, Lucian and even the Jewish talmud that does not dispute the fact that Jesus was executed, that Jesus died. This dispels the idea that Jesus was just wounded. In the Bible it tells us Christians that Christianity must be an investigative faith, that the more we look into it, the more we are going to find that this is true. In John ten 30, Jesus Christ said that I am the father are one, what Jesus was really saying is that I am the divine. This is what caused so much backlash and eventually led to the execution of Jesus Christ. The next E, if you will, if we accept that, okay, Charlie got it. Jesus was executed. And to go even a step back, just to understand some of the nonsense that has taught about Christianity. There is a Jesus truther movement that even questions whether or not Jesus Christ exists at all whatsoever.

Luke 23: The Arrest of Jesus
"Want to invite you to see this in your mind's eye to see and imagine the characters and what's playing out in this story. And we're going to see this story move through Jesus's arrest and then into a crucifixion. I'm in Luke, chapter 23. And I'm going to read the majority of the chapter to you. Let's go to God's word together. Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to pilot, and they began to accuse him. This is Jesus saying. We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be messiah a king. So pilot asked Jesus are you the king of the Jews? You have said so, Jesus replied, then pilot announced to the chief priests and the crowd. I find no basis for a charge against this man. But they insisted he stirs up people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here. On hearing this pilot asked if the man was a Galilean, when he learned that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at the time. When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priest and the teachers of the law were standing there vehemently accusing him. Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to pilot. That day Herod and pilot became friends. Before this, they had been enemies. Pilot called together the chief priest, the rulers and the people and said to them, you brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. Neither has Herod, for he has set him back to us. As you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death, therefore I will punish him and then release him. But the whole crowd shouted away with this man, released barabbas to us. Barabbas have been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city and for murder. Wanting to release Jesus pilot appealed to them again, but they kept shouting crucify him crucify him for the third time he spoke to them why, what crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have him punished and then release him. But with loud shouts, they insistently demanded that he be crucified. And their shouts prevailed. So pilot decided to grant their demand. He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for and surrender Jesus to their will.

A Meditation on Luke 16:19-31 for the 2nd Thursday of Lent
"Say slowly from your heart. Jesus. I trust in you. You. Take over. Become aware that he is with you. Looking upon you with love. Wanting to be heard, deep within your heart. A reading from the holy gospel, according to Luke, chapter 16 versus 1931. Jesus said to the pharisees, there was a rich man who used to dress in purple and fine linen, and feast magnificently every day. And at his gate there lay a poor man called Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to fill himself with the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even came and licked his sores. Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In his torment in Hades, he looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus in his bosom. So he cried out. Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue. For I am in agony in these flames. My son, Abraham replied, remember that during your life, good things came your way, just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now he is being comforted here while you are in agony. But that is not all. Between us and you, a great gulf has been fixed to stop anyone if he wanted to, crossing from our side to yours, and to stop any crossing from your side to ours. The rich man replied, father, I beg you then to send Lazarus to my father's house. Since I have 5 brothers, to give them warnings so that they do not come to this place of torment too. They have Moses in the prophet, said Abraham, let them listen to them. Ah, no, father Abraham said the rich man. But of some one comes to them from the dead, they will repent. The Abraham said to him, if they will not listen either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead.

"luke" Discussed on Evangelism on SermonAudio
"In fact, it's really not primarily about teaching a moral lesson. It's primarily about exposing something that's going on inside this man's heart. And that was that he was prejudiced towards samaritans, and for Jesus to give a parable where the Samaritan is the hero and the Jewish religious leaders are the ones who did not function properly as a neighbor. What it's going to do is it's going to reveal this attitude of animosity towards someone who was not one of his Jewish people. So this story isn't just about what Jesus said, it's about why he said it. Another example, Luke chapter 18 verse 9, and we tend to get this one right because the details are fairly self explanatory, but it's about two men going into the temple to pray. One man is a pharisee, and the other man is a publican. Now, before Jesus goes into that parable, he said, it says in Luke 18 9, he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others. So Jesus is telling this story, not just to teach some more or less. In fact, not really to teach some more or less as much as he's telling the story to say the real, the person who really walked out of the temple justified right with God, the one who actually was heard by God and his prayer wasn't the religious person. It wasn't the man that everyone thought was righteous. It was the public in it was the sinner. It was the one who humbled himself and said God be merciful to me a sinner.

Luke hoban has been into tech computers for many, many years. It started off when he was a kid, but sailed with him into college as he got into languages. He spent the first part of his career at Microsoft building tools, ides, and programming languages. His take on the frame of mind required to build a language is centered around what you wanted to do combined with how it feels for the programmer to express what they want to do. Bottom line, it is an art, not a science, and is much more about product and user interaction design than anything. Post Microsoft, Luke went to work for Amazon on the cloud, specifically EC2. The thing he had in the back of his head for many years was how to bring the programming model into the cloud space. He eventually left Amazon and set out to combine his love of designing programming languages with the movement and excitement of the cloud. This.

They're not there's no mystery in the words it's it's coming from the heart so where where is the heart of this prayer. Will father may your holy name beyond. It's it's that thanking god needing god honoring god again taking time to acknowledge that anything and everything that we have is because of him and has been Run through his fingers that it's that gratitude approach. He goes onto say mayor kingdom come. So you're well not mind your plans now. Mind your thoughts not mind your ways not mind. This is a difficult thing for us. This is a humbling exercise because we want to go into prayer and we wanna tell jesus what we want You need to do this. Jesus you need to fix that. I need this. I need that. So jesus prayers really contrast that with you know like whatever it takes lord for your kingdom to come in for me to get on board. Let that happen on. Because i'm going to let go of my own kingdom and i'm going to invite your kingdom to rule over me That again that's not easy. Give us day by day. The food that we need this is just that that prayer of provisions. Give me what. I need this day which i feel like. He's he's saying Kind of indirectly. He saying keep me from greed and keep me from want. Helped me just to have what i need to accomplish. What you need from me just this day and we are so. I mean i'm speaking i speak for myself. I'm not good at this. I get way ahead or.

"I think that's well said. The task of managing complexity. So DevRel folks always seem to have a lot of fun as you put it, develop a relations people at software engineers with personalities. Some of them until they even have good personalities. So it's developer relations in your view a distinct career path. And if so, for folks who may be interested in following that path, what is your advice? Yeah, I totally think it is. It's definitely a career path that has been growing. I think when Google first started developing relations, we were one of the first people specifically having it as an engineering arm were the first people to do that. But now this developer relations to all sorts of companies out there, basically anybody who has any sort of developer offering will usually have developed relations going with it. And, you know, if you like talking to people, if you like engaging with others and educating and teaching, but also building and creating. It's a really good career opportunity for a lot of people. It kind of mixes the world of just writing pure code, as well as being able to kind of go out there and enable other people to build successful stuff on top of what you've done and enabled other people to do. It kind of feels good, right? When you say interesting startups out there and you're like, hey, I help them. I help them do that. So if I was listening to this and I wanted to maximize my chances of landing a job in developer relations, what sort of things should I be doing? Right. So there's things like community groups like Google has one called GDGs where you can go and get Google developer groups and they have made ups and chapters all around the world. You can go then you could meet other people who are working on Google stuff as well, Google it, well, this is obviously before COVID. It's slightly changed at the moment. But yeah, Googled often send Google engineers to go and speak at these events and talk about new products that Google are doing or interesting things. But it's a great place to go and meet other like minded individuals who are also in the same space as you. And then on top of that, it's like being more involved in open-source world, right? Like a lot of developer relations people come from the open-source world because they understand what it's like to work in the community, understand what it's like to build things out there, anybody can look at what you're doing and trying to get adoption and get people to use whatever you're building. And then on top of that, it's more just like fixing, right? You say projects that you might be using on GitHub and then someone's got a bog or something there and you just send a pull request, big it. Often people can be like, oh, you know, you keep contributing to our react app, which I had to cover and work for us. Yeah, so bottom line just really good involved in the same communities that the developer relations people are in and show that you've got what it takes to be one of them. Yeah, in a sense. Great. So finally, Luke, I was just curious if you had any big predictions for the future of the developer experience. Interesting. I mean, I definitely feel like APIs is the future for a lot of things, right? We're going to be moving to a world where things will be acting on your behalf. You'll have devices you may have other things. So being able to understand a trust model through an API and seeing where that takes you is going to be an interesting place. I really believe that the future of us is like basically having a device in our pocket and we just walk in that sort of like does a lot of the communications for us between each other or going forward. But I don't know. It's interesting. I feel like machine learning AI and then connecting individuals is kind of like the future space ride, especially with the world that we're moving into now where it's a bit more remote and figuring out how to communicate and that sort of stuff. I feel like that's probably the way we're going to be ending up. Really interesting. Luke may, thanks very much for a fascinating conversation. All right, thank you very much..

"And Romantic relationship and a lot of things that forced me to just settle down and ask myself some hard questions I don't know if i would have been able to do it. You know sometimes it. It's almost like take something outside of you to kind of force you into to to do the things that you need to do Whatever that is sometimes unfortunately it's like a tragedy You know a health scare whatever you know for me. It was just having my sense of identity really really shaken up by by some events like i didn't think that i could I didn't think that i could do anything wrong. At a certain period of time right like just revenue increases month over month. And that's the way it goes got myself into too much debt and ended up taking a little sabbatical from everything and it started out as a few weeks and it turned into a few months and then it turned into over a year where i stepped away from a company that i was absolutely miserable running. As like i guess luke you could fight and scrap and you know you could save this company but is that really the way that you want to spend the next year. Why don't you just cut your losses. And take some time. I didn't i. I was lucky that i didn't have to work During that period. So i had enough to to be able to to travel and to read and to just explore some things. And that's what i did. And i i i i wish i ten years earlier in i just never. There's things that they don't teach you in school like they don't teach you how to discern you know which of your desires illusory and driven by your ego and which of them are a little more genuine and are gonna lead to fulfilment What's you know who. Who are you right like. What what project are you gonna work on. What creative thing are you gonna make. That's a reflection of kind of who you are. And what's important to you versus what the market wants and often. There's a real disconnect there between what the market wants and what you wanna do. I mean this is classic artist's.

And that's the first time i really got to hear the new guitar parts on like big studio speakers but yeah i mean one of my one of the big things that me and my brother would do especially chris like he'd come in he blood. Did you hear so. did you. Randy travis's new song or did you hear clint black's new song. And i'd be like no. 'cause i'm kidding i'm not really. He was older than me so he was locked into the music. And we'd play it in. You know heck. It became the song that year. And or whatever so i never will forget. I was I was. I was riding in my truck and i heard george strait singing run and i was like man. I wish i mean. Could you imagine. I could imagine my brother here in run for the first time and he'd a freaked out and then i could have and so the the the beauty of the way. The way this song came about is like the perfect. Definition of nashville. So i had my colorado zone. It josh osborne and luke layered. They were out on the road with me the next day after i had heard run on the radio and mon- michael. Monaco was playing edits of the documentary. So luke and josh. We're seeing a documentary and learning about it coming out and then so we i. I really wasn't being productive writing songs so and they were out for about three days will the first. The first thing goes through the first day the first day goes through and that night on the bus there over. I'm i'm on my bus. i can't remember anyway. I get this idea. i'm like. Oh my god i can't imagine like there's been all of these songs that have come out since my brother passed away and i can't imagine what his reaction would be if he'd got here these songs and so i ran over and tell luke and josh this idea that i have and they're like oh my god well i go back to the next day i start doing shows and then that day i think i went and play golf and then that day i come in from the golf course and then go luke. We've been watching the documentary. You told us the idea you told us about here and run and this is what we've been working on. And they played me like eighty ninety percent of that. And i mean i was always. This is the craziest way. A song has ever come about in then i was able to get in in really fine tune a couple of other lyrics and then we we come up with like i remember. Like my my. I remember the first time. I heard jamie johnson saying in color. I was like gosh. My brother would have freaked out over this song because it's amazing and so we were able to build it that way. I mean i you know. I got emotional listening to our those songs hard for you to sit and write and sing when you start thinking about your brother. I'll tell you what When you're in the when you're in the moment of ron really capture it right It's it's very emotional. Sometimes the songwriters across. Sometimes i'll cry but then when when i start playing it for my wife and mind my people in my world ban members in my bus driver i mean. My bus driver is my best barometer. Own how good we did on a song. And and i've had some buddies from home here and they get emotional manure truck with one of your one of your home town boys and they start crying. You it's it's it's what writing a song is all about any kind of say it in the song but chris really was your biggest osh the footed. That's in the docking series. I submitted where did you get all this footage in chris. Shy of yeah. i mean. that's the thing he he was interesting. he I mean he was a ups driver but when he wasn't a when he's when he wasn't working for ups he had a little like the world's first like little minicam quarter. You know it was and he had that thing with him. Everywhere he went. He videoed his hunting. Stuff is fishing stuff and he videoed My concerts and My cousin his band he he video their concerts. And gosh you know. It's like testament that we could use his footage to be a really important part of this thing. You got to think about him when you're out there thinking about what he would think about where you are what you've achieved in the hand. He had an encouraging. You think about i think about him and i certainly try to imagine with you. That's what i tell people. I've had some some people come up to me and they're like so. How'd you get through this stuff. And i said you know what you just got to talk to them like. They're still here. You have to kind of imagine what they would be doing if they were still here on earth with you and like i mean me and my wife. We've sat on the beach many times somewhere like even when we had you know. Infants and kids were like gosh. If my sister were here she'd be in the house looking after the babies and giving us an thirty minutes on the beach and then even my brother-in-law lee just imagining seeing things that you know. That's what this song is kind of all about. I mean i'm hearing songs. That i could imagine my brother's face listening to the song and then i see things that i can imagine my sister and a seat things that i could imagine how my brother-in-law would react. And and you know my brother didn't get to see aspect of my career. My sister did get to see a segment of my career and she got to enjoy some of then. My brother-in-law really got to see the success coming together and so they all got to experience it in different ways. And you know it's a it's a it's like. I said it's a two moment where you're like man. What would it be like if they're here but that wasn't the plan and that's certainly now. There's a lot of people out there. It's got the same questions you know. It's been a hell of a road from that little peanut town. It's been around since since. I liked the hammer right there. That little peanut town right.

We don't know we don't know what we're gonna do with you but we know we won't you and we know there's something special about you and he goes and we're giving you a record deal and it was. I mean it was the most emotional high you could ever have and call them my mother and hearing her. I mean my mother's all i mean. In any given moment you know kitten on the side of the road. She's starts calling commercial anything she she. She's not afraid to let her emotions show sometimes. Sometimes you're like you're like all mothers do that on this one though.

You've got to really enjoy the amazing times because tough times are going to happen. I think they're just all a part of trying to make life something somewhat even for all of us but you don't want to think about it in those terms but you gotta love you gotta love those great times and that that that hearing you got a record deal is nothing. Nothing feels better than that. You almost like. I wish i could just have somebody just telling me that again. Well people who wanna grow up to be. The next luke bryan should know too that there was.

"That that moment became the new wave of how people enjoy a country concert and And you know it started with the girls of the world. The kenny chesney of the world. The i mean the the george strait even morphing into the late nineties. Where when i was at a george strait concert in atlanta fulton county stadium not fulton county but turner field. I mean i was up there partying with george strait and changed the dynamic of how you enjoy country music. Yeah and so. When i started i wanted to make sure i mean my goal was when you come to my show. You ain't sitting down and it started with that moment and there's the other big revelation for me luke theater kid and theater kid man. I yeah you know you look at the. You look at the things that naturally fall in place and i was predominantly an athlete. Thought i us. We all did. You're tall. I'm sure somebody try. Yeah we hit throw or shoot something. And i never will forget Yeah i was a pretty good athlete. I was a decent base. I was a good little athlete but when it got to junior and senior year of high school i had started playing guitar. And i'm looking around at it my peers. Who are star athletes hitting home runs. And i'm like you know it's been a minute since i hit one out of unlike now seem to be getting more reactions with the guitar. Yeah and and. I really did stumble into the theater aspect. It was my senior year of high school and my single. My goal for my senior year of high school was to sign up for as many electives. As i could. I mean it. My my senior year was english. You know because. I need four years of english probably five english computer keyboard and weight training. Pe wow shop metals welding and the last one. I picked drama. It was right in the last period of my school was. That's my drama. Teacher was robbi davis who is in the docu series and his wife dottie davis who is in the docu series and meeting robby really. I mean when i walk into the classroom he would make us do singing exercises and when he heard my voice he was like. You're trying out tomorrow for my one act play and i'm like man. I don't think that's my thing he goes. I don't care if this is your thing. Not i'll see you after schoo- in our rolled in there and then it started it started. He opened me up to just yet theater aspects and he was really really influential teacher. I mean he he would load us up and take two. There was a there. Was something called the alabama shakespeare festival in close to montgomery and it was amazing theater a broadway theater. He took us to see. You know peter pan and and know big river and all these things. And i didn't know nothing about and So yeah it was a that was something that was another little feather and my cat for being on stage and there's footage in the docu series. We have kids that you actually. You were good good. I think it was anti-gay guy belting out but that's probably where you picked up a little state presence. I imagine we'll back in. You know well you know when you're when you're a kid and you gotta run out there in front of at the time i mean That theater our theater program had really started turn heads and win when we announced a new musical or something it sold out four or five nights in a row and it was a pressure moment. I mean it was like i mean it was. It was literally the first moments of my life that i really felt pressures that i would have to conquer the same way. I gotta go conquer the first time. I hosted the acm award for the first time. I sure walk out on a stadium or saying the the anthem at the super bowl in knows where the same emotions i had. When i was eighteen year. Old kid walking out to perform annie. Get your gun when the counter you know it was really a magical stuff that that was that was laying the groundwork and robbie he tell you when you were awful. And he he wouldn't. he wouldn't no sugar coating. Yeah it was. You were terrible when you did this. You need to do this to fix it. And i went and fixed it. And and that's that's how he rolled paid off shirt. You're doing okay. Your dad in the docu series. There's a moment where he says he's like he's this country as country can be kind of gruff guy and he says to somebody after watching you with the guitar. And you've got your karaoke machine. And he said. I think we've got another elvis on our hands there clearly. He believed in you throughout this whole process. Your family believed you do this. Even with all those bumps along the way was there. Were there any moments. Luke where you said. I don't know. Maybe there's some other way i could go or was it always going to be music one way or the other. Maybe you wouldn't be selling out stadiums but we planted bars play music somewhere. There are so many people instrumental in critical in shoving me out of that nest of leesburg georgia when you grow up in a town like that and there's so many kids like that it's safe. You know if you show up do this job. You're gonna be all right. Yeah you know and my dad and my mother and my father and my siblings and their extended group. I mean everybody was behind me And i'll tell you even after when i moved to nashville. We're sitting in the studio and one hundred yards away as my first publishing deal is the first publishing company that i wrote for and me. And my fellow writers in there they. Their family didn't support him. They moved to town to prove their family wrong. And it broke my heart when you hear stories like that because that was not a dynamic i had support i had love and it makes you It makes you really. I mean i still meet kids to this day. Will my dad you know. They think i'm crazy to move to nashville. Think i'm chasing a think. I'm just out goofing off and makes me wanna hug them and go man. You're not you know you're you're the girl you're not or you know you. It makes you want to rally behind them. But you know i. I even said the docu series. I mean if i needed a new guitar you know. Santa claus brought it. You know if i needed a. I mean as we were growing as a little band if i needed.

"luke" Discussed on 31 Thoughts: The Podcast
"First of all. Thank you so much for joining us today. On thirty one. What's the podcast. And as we've talked about before on this show everybody listening everybody involved in this program. Everybody goes through journeys of self discovery throughout their life. And i just wanna start this by congratulating you on your journey of self-discovery that brought you to this moment to day. How do you feel now. I feel amazing. You know. I kind of started this process back in june of last year when i started telling most of my family and friends and just being able to finally come to terms with things being okay with who i am and living my true self. You know this past year has been crazy with colin all nuts. It's been amazing just to kind of go through this journey and be myself. Who's the first person you told it was my sister. And if you'd ask me that three or four years ago that would. I probably would have laughed in your face because me and my sister were not close at all. And when we came back from calgary me and my brother when covert and are seizing cancelled me and my sister just created this really cool blonde and those first four five six weeks when we couldn't really do anything we were kind of inseparable always doing stuff together hanging out the house playing board games stuff like that. She was the first person i told and styles probably around in april and we had this really cool bond that we gathered over it and she's always been there for me when i had questions or when i haven't been feeling as good about myself Then i should and it's been really cool to create that bond with her and see how much support she has for me. One of the reasons. I want to ask about this. Luke is your nineteen now and there's going to be a lot of teenagers who are going to hear this and they're gonna say luke did the journey that i'm going to need to do and They're going to be very thankful you did this. And they're going to feel emboldened that you did this so they're gonna kinda wanna know how you did it so they can understand how they might be able to do it for sure for me. I mean it wasn't like i woke up one day and i was like. Oh i'm gonna tell my mom. Or i'm gonna tell my dad or i'm gonna tell you know all my best friends. It came to me at a time. Where i just felt really comfortable in that moment and i was like okay. You might not get this feeling again for a while and you'd like to tell it to them rather than having someone else find out like from someone else. So when i talked to alanna. I was sitting in my room. I was watching some sort of movie. Just kinda thinking about. You know what i might say. Or what am i tell her. I'm just gonna. I just said screw it so i went upstairs to her room. Is she the first person i told so. It was very emotional. I started breaking down in tears. Sodas she and you know it just came to that moment where is like something. Something inside of me was like okay. You need to tell her. And then that's kind of how it was for everyone that i that i told you. Know with my best friends It was just a random day. We're playing spike ball. And then we came back to my house. We all kind of gathered around my kitchen counter. And again i just had this feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm gonna tell these guys. And you know i'm gonna see what the reaction is if it's good if it's not. I'm still going to be happy that i told them. So that's how it came for me. It might not be the same way for other individuals but that's ultimately. What was the reaction like. I mean i have not had. Someone have a bad reaction. It seems like nowadays. Almost everyone knows someone who's gone through the coming out process and has a family member or friend who's gay now and it was a very emotional topic for my first few times i had spoken about it with my mom with my sister with my dad especially my best friends because those are the people like if they don't accept it and they don't you know support you. It's almost like you wish you hadn't told them just because they're so important to you in your life. But i mean all the reactions i've gotten have been so support of the people i've told have been emotional as well. You know. it's just one part of me. I'm still their best friend. Doesn't change the way they look at me to some of my teammates. I've told you know it doesn't change the way they look at me in the locker room or how we hang out outside of hockey. I'm still luke. I'm still a hockey player. I'm still their best friend. So all the reactions. I have had an amazing. I'm fifty two years old. Luke and i grew playing hockey in toronto in an era. Where how should i say. This hockey wouldn't allow someone to come out. It was near impossible just knowing what they go through and it destroyed lives. It destroyed people at destroyed relationships. How is hockey. Been for you and did this sport. Keep you from being you for what you now understand is probably too long time. I don't think so. I mean obviously with hockey. The locker room is something that people talk about when this stuff comes up with the the banter and some of the actions and stuff like that personally. I didn't i mean. I didn't really feel the people that did it. You know it was almost like those. Were the people that i wasn't going to tell you know early on because i wasn't comfortable with because i could see in other actions i didn't want them to. I didn't want them to know from me. Just 'cause just didn't feel comfortable or didn't feel right with me because of how they're acting or what they were saying. So i mean. I had only told two of my teammates. Gone calgary and those guys were the people that i had trusted. Obviously with the biggest secret of my life and i have known them previously for four three years. Outside of playing. With calgary. So i had known those guys long time hockey. I don't think so to your point of it was the process of me being comfortable with it. i mean. even. If i didn't play hockey i still think it would've taken me this long as well and everyone has a different journey. Everyone has a different path. And how how young. And how one when they wanna come out if anything. Maybe hockey is actually made me. Wanna do it sooner just because i have seen you know. I've seen so much stuff on the internet and going through the process. I've done a lot of research and you know. I think this is something that hockey needs definitely needs more of a needs. No more awareness towards this topic in you know. I wanted to bring attention to it. And so i wouldn't say that it was rushed in the sense that this is why i'm doing it but it was obviously a reason for me to come out for sure. So when you went back to calgary this year for the short season your brother. Josh is on the team we should mention too so obviously he knew yes so obviously he knew and do the organization know how many people when you played this year new..
