She can keep in the line, everything's fine, you got all that you need, with Curry and the Keeper.
Yeah, Curry and the Keeper.
Curry and the Keeper, Wednesday, January 21st, episode 147.
Curry and the Keeper.
And hello, my queen.
better than any queen I've seen on screen.
And I've seen a lot of them the past few weeks.
Did you just come up with that?
I wrote it down just before the show.
Nice.
Cheers me, baby.
Cheers me.
Let's hit it.
Oh, wow.
That sounded like heavy glass.
Drinking Topo Chico.
Topo Chico.
That's right.
It is only me drinking the grape once again.
I will have a...
I did drink, though, last weekend.
Yeah, hold on.
Let me drink this.
This is the show for today.
No, this is good.
This is what the bank manager gave us.
Gave you.
He gave it to us.
He likes you.
He's like, who are you?
His assistant?
He was so upset about his flabbergasted response to your beauty that he texted me.
He was like, I'm sorry.
I came across as a fool.
I sounded dumb.
I don't even know what he said.
He was just googly-eyed over you.
Like, oh, Mr. Curry, Mr. Curry.
This is a Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain.
Yeah, you've been enjoying that.
It's really good.
Yeah.
It's almost done.
No, you're putting yourself down.
That's ridiculous.
It's funny.
He was flustered.
The only thing I remember about him is he was taller than you, which is a rarity.
And when you said that, he was like, and his name is Adam too.
So there was like a whole bunch of stuff.
It's anyway.
Yes.
He's been trying to get me for coffee for, I don't know, a year.
Yes.
Well, they love you there.
They know you.
They're always offering you cookies and dog biscuits.
Yes.
Would you like, would you like a cookie, Mr. Curry?
Would Phoebe like a dog biscuit?
Yes.
Because I'm always in the drive-thru.
Yes.
I think, I think.
It has been a day.
I made advances today.
Yes.
We have to, we, before we even talk about today, we have to talk about leading up to today,
but we'll get to that in a second.
Oh, I guess I'm, I mean, just why don't you shut me down?
No matter what I was going to say.
I have a list.
Can I just say one thing to start us off?
I'm starting to finally understand the biblical worldview.
Oh.
That is what I wanted to say.
We just got back from WWJD.
Yes.
But leading up to it, there were some things that took place today.
I know.
I have to repent tomorrow.
You're so mean.
Hello, Vineyard Nation.
It's time for Curry and the Keeper once again.
We're excited to be here.
Confession time for Tina Curry.
We're excited to be with y'all today.
Yes, yes.
But first things first, if people haven't heard the good news, you want to talk about the good news?
We're going to be grandparents.
I know.
How awesome is this?
Finally, one of our daughters have stepped up to the plate.
Yes.
Luckily, this one forgot the whole BMW thing.
I haven't heard anything about that.
You just want to tell everyone how they did it?
No, it's your daughter.
I think you get to tell the story.
Well, she's my daughter too, but she's from your lineage.
Yes, from my loins.
Yes.
Exactly.
They were here, Kevin and Christina, for Christmas.
Yes.
We were very excited to have them there.
They won an old-fashioned American Christmas.
Everything was that.
It was everything perfect.
The weather was a little too warm for an old-fashioned American Christmas.
But it was perfect for Kevin, though.
So it was summer for them, but they came in from Austin.
So, you know, that's like a nine hour flight.
Then they had to drive from, well, they didn't drive.
We had Robert pick them up, drove here.
So, you know, they were tired.
We had food for them and they said, well, we have to give you one of your Christmas gifts now.
And I'm like, no, just do it on Christmas.
It's a couple of days.
No, no, it's important.
I give it to you now.
Well, can I just interject real quickly?
We had no idea because we knew that she had a miscarriage in September.
So we weren't thinking anything along those lines at all.
No, no.
And also not asking, just like letting them heal, et cetera.
And so we had to close our eyes.
And there was a lot of rustling and bustling.
We opened our eyes.
And there's for each of us a T-shirt with our grandparent name.
And on the back, it says, coming July 2026.
and they had the whole role of, what is it called?
Ultrasound.
They call it echoes.
Echo pictures.
Yeah.
Of the grandchild.
Yes, yes.
And we were sworn to secrecy.
Right.
Because it was still a little on the early side.
And wow.
I mean.
We were shocked.
We were completely blown away.
And so she was 10 weeks.
And so now I think she's 14 or 15 weeks.
So she's in her second trimester.
Yes.
And she's already done, they've already done their, their pictures, their announcement pictures.
No, they haven't done the gender reveal.
They just did their announcement pictures.
All we're doing now is we're really praying for a bigger apartment for them.
The Netherlands in general, but Rotterdam is the worst housing situation.
There is such a shortage of houses and it's just so difficult to find something within their price range.
So we've just been praying.
Yes, we are praying.
Praying that God brings them something.
But I like how when they were here, you were like, I don't want you doing this with my grandchild, and I don't want you doing that with my grandchild.
Like what?
I can't remember, but I looked at you, I'm like, Adam, it is not your baby.
It's my grandchild.
I want my grandchild to grow up here.
You're going to be one of those.
Probably.
Yes, probably.
I just might be.
I really doubt that they'll move here because Kevin's just, Kevin even said, my whole family, my whole community is there.
And Christina has to be close to her mom because her mom is getting older.
For a while.
Yeah.
Until we have to send, you know, an escape plane because they'll have to escape from the horrible, fiery pit of hell that the EU is becoming.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
It's okay.
The world is their oyster.
Yes.
They can do whatever they want.
We're just super excited.
Yes.
I could not be more excited.
I know.
We're very excited.
And when we see them at the end of February, she's really going to be popping.
It'll be huge.
She's going to be popping.
She's already popping.
It's crazy.
We're getting regular updates.
Yes.
And they've heard the heartbeat.
No.
And the kid's already doing like finger guns.
Yeah.
Well, you showed me some pictures.
I said, look at the little feet.
Yeah.
You could see the feet.
They were my feet.
They were huge curry feet.
No.
Huge flappers.
They're baby feet.
Huge flapper feet.
They're so cute.
It's just such a miracle how God just knit that baby together.
I just love that.
I love that.
So, yes, so that was the big news.
That was the big, big news.
Yes.
Super excited.
Yes.
And I fell off the alcohol, no alcohol wagon again.
Were you like in a sobriety mode?
Well, we went, we went, remember we were going to go to a hilltop cafe and we ended up going
to Otto's and we both had the Root Awakening cocktails.
Oh my Lord.
they were delicious.
That was good.
I know.
And it's even more fun to know that the owner of Otto's is a No Agenda fan.
I know.
Young guy.
Yes, I know.
Yeah.
The Root Awakening.
Yes.
It's made with beets?
Beet sap?
Beet vodka.
Yeah.
It was very good.
Yeah.
So we each had two of those.
So yeah, that didn't last long.
And then we went out with Pastor Jimmy and Annette last weekend, and I had a glass of wine
and a half.
All right.
Are you looking for me to scold you or to applaud you?
No, I want you to say that it's all your fault.
OG Salmonier and Michael Anastasio is like, should I send this wine?
Like, yes, yes, don't worry, it will be taken care of.
Pastor Jimmy, you know, he's always eyeing my wine.
He's like, oh, that looks pretty good.
I love my one glass, usually one glass an evening.
I'm just not drinking to excess anymore like I did on New Year's Eve.
You were never drinking to excess.
On New Year's Eve, I felt like I poisoned myself.
Well, New Year's Eve, you set yourself up.
We were going out to do it.
I know. I said, I'm going to be tipsy.
I'm going to get tipsy.
I'm like, okay, well, we'll be a Bill Gates tonight.
It's so good.
I'm driving, so I'm going to be a good man.
Moderation in moderation.
Yes.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
Exactly.
So what you got on your list?
I have nothing on my list.
You drive everything.
I just want to talk about our-
Let's talk.
Let's go there then.
Let's go there.
This is last week.
Tina has been-
What are you going to talk about?
Wait.
Go ahead.
You're on the right train track.
So Tina has been bugging me for years.
You've got to check your health.
You've got to make sure you're healthy.
Let's just put that out there.
men most men don't care about their health they don't no i wake up i feel good everything's good
rock and roll let's go baby let's do another show that's my life basically so i finally you know i
finally relent and i'm the complete opposite i go every year i have not had my blood taken i've
certainly never had a blood panel but i i don't even i don't remember if i've ever had my blood
actually taken that I can remember.
But the only shot I've had, well, that's not true.
When I went to Iraq, I had a couple, but that was different.
But I had my IV, when I had my mouth done.
And honestly, I'm not, needles I've kind of gotten over because of the IVs that Maverick
was jabbing in me.
But the idea of a tube of my blood going into test tubes.
Let's back it up a little bit.
Let's back it up.
Okay.
So you agree to do this?
Of course.
I might as well relent.
Adam, don't you want to know if your A1C is inching towards type 2 diabetes?
No, no.
No.
It's like, oh, go ahead.
Have some chocolate.
Your A1C is off the chart.
You could be pre-diabetic.
You're pre-dead, son.
You're on your way to that grave.
And I get so tired of it.
I'm like, all right.
I love you.
If it will make you happy to see that I am super healthy, let's do it.
And you're like, I can't wait till they take my blood because they're going to see the super specimen that I am.
Exactly.
That's what you, yes.
That was my attitude.
Now, we first had to go and do the blood panel.
Yes.
So that was, so we're going, it was last Monday.
We had to go, we had to go.
And I could just tell you were just irritated.
You were grouchy in the car.
You were snippy at me.
You were just, you were not happy.
Isn't that true?
You're really exaggerating.
I was not snippy.
Yes, you were.
No, you kept saying, you're snippy.
I'm like, no, I'm actually just quiet.
I'm actually just quiet.
I've known you for 11 years.
I know when your mood changes.
You are the same almost every single day.
You weren't.
You were short.
I wasn't short.
I was just being calm.
calm all right whatever what has wait what is but of course as i told you i said
i'm nervous i don't like this that was after the fact you told me i was just trying to be quiet
during the entire drive oh my gosh i wish i could have recorded this because it would have been a
lot of silence i wish i turned to you at one point because you were moaning and groaning i was
What was I moaning and groaning about?
I don't want to go.
These are lies.
That's what I heard in my heart.
That's understanding.
That's what you heard in your heart.
It is not what I said.
Nothing was coming out of my mouth.
And that was what you thought.
He's not talking, so therefore he must be grumpy.
No, you said something.
And I said, look, we don't have to go if you don't want to go.
We'll turn around.
And you're like, I didn't say that.
And I'm like, and so then I'm driving.
because you're like, can you drive?
I'm too weak to drive.
And I'm driving.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe.
And I'm driving and I hear the Holy Spirit say,
keep your mouth shut.
Just keep your mouth shut.
It's funny because I was praying,
Holy Spirit, tell her to keep her mouth shut.
Prayers answered right there.
But I was, I was praying
because I have a very irrational fear of this process.
I don't know why,
It was not something I wanted to bring up in the car on the way because I'm like, look, I'm just doing this.
You're going to be okay.
Just do it.
You're like coaching yourself silently.
Meanwhile, you're like, because something was weird about the time.
And this is very you.
Weird about the time.
Yeah, it was 7 a.m.
It was 9 a.m.
And you're in the car.
If they have our time wrong, I'm just going to leave.
and sure enough after an hour's drive we get to the to the place in a strip mall which always
makes the guy who's worried about this stuff feel so much better there's like you know chinese
takeout that wasn't a blood draw place like you know literally like okay this looks this looks
sus as the kids would say we roll up to the window and like hmm that's interesting i don't have you
So you're like, I can see you.
And we're sitting on the couch and you said, if they don't have this time, we're just going to leave.
And I'm like, Lord, let the time be wrong so we can just leave.
But the Lord heard me and went, no, no, you got to do this.
You're doing this today.
No, the Lord heard me.
He's like, don't worry, Tina.
We're going to figure this out.
So I go first.
So you're tense.
Can I just set the stage?
Yes.
okay we're ready for you this 12 year old girl she's 15 she takes us back to like a supply closet
there there there tool boxes and hammers there all kind and there a chair that looks like an electric chair like a literal electric chair that you sit in where a thing comes down And you strap in put the helmet on they shoot you with 10 volts
It's literally a supply closet.
There's not a door.
It's like, hey, just sit.
It was like a cubby hole in the back.
The thing is, you never get blood drawn.
That's how the...
I'm expecting...
Like a triage room?
A triage room.
I'm expecting nurses in uniforms.
I'm expecting spotless.
No, it's literally in a tool closet.
There's a computer running, you know, like Windows 95.
The whole thing is disastrous.
You are totally exaggerating.
And then this old, it looked like an old chair from like 1950s with old cracked red leather.
That is so not true.
I'm also expecting to be strapped in with, and then, and so you, and then this thing comes down.
You put your arm out there and they're like, here's the ball to squeeze on.
So I go first because you're shaking in the corner.
You're like in the fetal position.
I was not.
Shaking in the corner of the supply closet.
I was not shaking or in a fetal position.
I was not happy.
But let's keep it within the realm of reality here.
Okay, so then I go first.
And then she gives you this orange ball to squeeze.
That's what you have to do to get your vein popping.
I wouldn't know.
And then you actually said, no, that's to keep your vein popping.
Your vein pop.
And I'm like, oh, no, I feel weak now.
And I see you squeezing this ball.
I saw you went pale.
You went pale.
No, I didn't.
Yeah, you lost all color.
No, I did not.
You did.
I was looking at you.
And then the thing goes in, I'm just seeing this black goo coming.
I'm like, is my wife even human?
What is coming out of her?
She goes, wow, you got fast flowing blood.
Do you drink a lot of water?
And I'm like, well, yes, I do.
And so because they pulled out seven vials of blood.
That did not make me happy because I saw vial after vial.
That's the exact, and I forced myself to look.
I'm like, I got to watch this.
Excuse me.
I'm burping just thinking about it.
Nice.
All right.
So then it's my turn.
Yes.
And I'm just like, okay.
And she gives me the ball to squeeze.
Do you want me to hold your hand?
And all I had to do was, our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
And she says, are you with me?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm just doing the Lord's Prayer.
Because she thought I was fading away.
I think she saw your eyes roll into the back of your head.
That's what I think.
And the Lord got me through it.
It was actually pretty good.
What?
Well, you saw me.
I was okay.
Yes, I did.
And I heard you a million times say, no, not a million, maybe 10.
I'm so proud of myself.
I am so proud of myself.
I was like, I'm proud of you too, honey.
And you were patting yourself on the back.
I did a good job.
I did it.
Oh, and she gave you a lollipop.
Remember?
No, I took the lollipop.
Actually, I was like, I need some sugar real quick.
We had to fast.
We couldn't eat anything.
And didn't this come on the heels?
Wasn't this our first day of the church fast as well?
Yes, it was.
And I'm going to lead into that.
But I, yes, your mood changed instantly as soon as we were done.
So instead of mocking me, you could just love me.
I did.
I didn't.
I saved it for the show.
In your own special way.
Yeah.
In your own special way.
You're snippy.
Not for a second thinking, oh, poor man.
He's nervous about this.
I guess maybe.
You snippy.
You know what?
I guess because you had all your teeth pulled out and you you're handing instruments now to your dentist and you're doing things without even Novocaine.
I know.
It's not.
But in your mouth.
It's not a pain thing.
That's that's what's.
No, I guess it is.
It's not a pain thing.
Yeah.
It's not even the needle.
It's just it.
I just had this thing of blood flowing.
So I'm over it.
Yes.
I'm really.
Because we go back.
Wait, wait.
I'm healed.
And so we go back in March to have more blood drawn.
I'll be okay now.
Yeah.
It's not that bad, right?
No.
I was very proud.
I just want to go on record.
I am proud of you.
And thank you for doing this for me.
Well, of course, between now and the analysis, which was today.
Yes, we had to drive.
You still continue to say, oh, yeah, have some more sugar.
Your A1C is going to be.
I'm like, my ACL what?
It's like, what are you talking about?
What is going to.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You've got A1Cs, your hemoglobins, and your slicking la cajones, and all of this, and you're pre-diabetic.
And you can't, pre-diabetes, it's all happening.
This is it.
We're going to find out.
And oh boy, your life's going to change, Curry.
You're going to have to change.
Because, you know, I have like four squares of chocolate for dessert.
Or maybe, okay, I've indulged a bit on the Dutch licorice.
Really?
What did you say?
No, I've wolfed it down.
but it's all it's almost gone now so that's the beauty of dutch licorice it has to come from
dutchland and if it's and it's not here anymore so it's gone but anyway it's god okay so it didn't
stop you from telling me that i was pre-dead i did i didn't say you kept saying well we're gonna
say oh are you sure you want to have that wine because you know it's all sugar and that's insulin
resistance because you know you're pre-dead you've been watching too much instagram doctors you know
like i know a lot about a lot i know but but you're telling me that you know insulin resistance you
know this is what's going to happen and you know you're going to have to be walking around in
crutches because they're going to take your feet off and like i'm just all this stuff is happening
it's horrible okay yes yeah so then what so today we go we have to go we have to get our results and
Meet with the PA.
Now, this is, at this point, I'm super calm.
Well, when you weren't getting stuff in the portal, because you didn't set your portal up right,
you were like, why can't I get my, I can't get my results in the portal?
Yeah, because you're talking about your ferrites or whatever.
Ferrites.
What are my ferrites?
Ferriton, not ferrites.
My ferrites are.
And it's like, oh, you're not connected.
Of course I'm not.
You know, because obviously, you know, well, you're here, connect to a provider.
Oh, there's no provider named that.
Whatever.
I'll just wait.
Now, the appointment, and this is actually a show prep day, but that's okay.
The appointment, your appointment's at 1240.
My appointment's on 141 after another.
So we do our little things here in the morning.
I'm ready to go.
I'm good on time.
Like, boom, 11 a.m.
I'm standing by the door.
We're good.
We're walking out.
We're driving.
and we drive down Route 87 and...
Which is a two-lane road.
Yeah, it's the road through Comfort to I-10,
and there's an accident,
and it pops up on the screen.
Accident, it's like, okay, slow down.
There were already some weird cop cars much further back
that we didn't quite, you know...
That could have told us that the road was closed
to get to the highway.
And so we're...
We're there and like people are turning back almost right away.
So like, well, why don't we, we still have, we might be a little late,
but why don't we turn back, go back over 16 all the way back to I-10.
And then it's at least another 20 minutes longer than this road,
but then we'll get there.
And so, and I will take this on me, but already you're in the car like,
oh, I can't believe we're going to be late.
I hate being late, which you do.
I do.
I don't.
Oh, it's going to be late.
It's going to be late.
Can't be late.
This could be late.
Okay.
And I'm just quiet, you know.
And then we're going through town.
You're like, it's 40 here.
I know.
I'm going 45.
I'm trying to make up a little bit of time.
Oh, only because the Fredericksburg cops on that stretch, they'll pull you over.
Right.
I just didn't want you to get pulled over.
That's why.
But I know you were trying to make up time because I was stressing in the passenger seat.
So we're looking at alternate routes and ways, which, by the way, ways should have told me in the first place.
this isn't this supposed to be the big community crowdsource right the road is closed no none of
that and so i'm like hey look at this here's an alternate route and it goes to i-10 and we i look
all the other ones said 87 this did not say 87 it was like the old kerr road highway yes the back
roads and and we're going around like this is cool we can go yeah we'll make it we're gonna make it
45 here we're gonna make it we're gonna make it and it dumps us out on 87 right in front of the
accident and as we're pulling out we see a sheriff and like roll down the window it's mike the sheriff
and mike comes over hey mike the sheriff with the anger management problems i'm like hey man
have you been demoted that you're on traffic duty he's like no man i don't have enough guys who've
been here since 4 a.m and and so uh luckily no one was serious well someone went to the hospital
No one died, but it was a big rig, and they were now trying to extract it.
So he said, it's going to take a while.
So we're already in the car an hour, so we basically went in a big circle.
One hour long circle.
And I, okay, Mike, hey, brother, got to see you soon.
Wish I could be on the force and help you.
I'm too old.
Okay.
And as we're driving back, I think you, what's the term?
You lost it.
you lost it i did i was even a net goes you kind of yelled at me i didn't yell at you i was very
because i waited three months for this appointment you mentioned this several times in your tirade
yes i waited and you were i won't repeat the words yes and i have to repent tomorrow morning
on my prayer walk because i was not i was so in my flesh and and pastor jimmy was talking about
God being in control. He's sovereign. And, you know, he just, he, it's all him. And I was so
in my flesh about it. And I, I recognize that I really do. And that's why I kept apologizing to
you. Like I feel, you don't have to apologize. I do because you sat there and you didn't say much
at all. You just let me. And then, so finally we have to go all the way around again in the circle
again. And I'm like, we're not going to make my appointment. We're not, we're going to miss it.
And so I ended up calling the office and luckily your appointment was at 140.
So we just took your appointment, but we're driving there and we get in.
It's 70 miles an hour and we get in front of a car going 45 behind the car.
Oh, behind the car.
Yes.
There was a truck behind that car and we were behind the truck.
And so I was thinking about that when Pastor Jimmy was talking about not getting all worked up, you know, about situations out of your control.
I'm like, I that drove me crazy.
You were, I hate these people.
I didn't say that.
I said, I hate when people do not drive the, I don't hate the person.
I hate when they.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Yes.
Well, and here's what I was thinking.
God's got a reason for this.
I knew you were going to say that.
Because I really thought that.
And at a certain point, you were like, someone doesn't want us to get there.
Someone doesn't want us to get there.
And I said, maybe someone doesn't want us to get in some kind of weird situation.
Maybe this was protective measure.
I'm pretty sure I said something like that.
You did say that.
And I really felt that.
I'm like, this is going to be okay.
Whatever is going to, and it was, it was liberating because, and this is maybe the first time in my life I've actually felt this way.
I'm like, nah, I'm not in control.
Tina's not in, no one's in control of this.
Let's just see what happens.
If it's too late and it doesn't happen or doesn't work, whatever, we'll see what happens.
I understood your frustration.
What is this face you're making?
It makes me feel even worse for you saying that.
No, why?
Because I was all in my flesh.
Babe, it was not only three days earlier that I had lost my crap over something else.
So it's not like, you know, I'm close, but I'm not perfect.
Oh, brother.
my eyes just rolled so far back into my head yeah but anyway so long story short we got there
about a half hour late wasn't too bad actually all things considered it took us two almost two
and a half hours for an hour and 15 minutes and you're talking to people on the phone oh we've
been driving for eight hours i didn't say that it sounded like it i didn't say that we've been in
the car now for two and a half hours i'm like and shall i drive home on the way back i'm like no i
kind of enjoyed i never drive so i'm kind of you know the car drives itself kind of you know so i'm
having a good time you know we're on the highway you're doing your your typical thing like you need
to get over into the right lane tapping the window which by the way i love i love i can't help it
because i don't think you plan ahead when you drive you don't plan ahead a problem for me you
don't plan it i'm like our exit's a half a mile away and he's all the way in the left lane we have
It should be all the way in the right lane.
It's never been less than a mile.
So I start tapping the window like...
How do you put up with me?
I'm the worst.
But see, you're misunderstanding it.
I love it.
If you didn't do it...
Do you really?
I really do.
Okay.
I turned that around a long time ago.
I can't help it.
I really can't.
I know.
I can't help myself.
I'm in control in the car.
And I think, okay, she thinks she's in control.
That's fine.
That's good.
that's fine i'm so bad no you're but this is what i'm trying to tell you you're not you're not it's
okay it's okay it's really okay it is what makes you you at this moment yes so we got there and
she went through all of your labs first and for the most part what wait wait yes
she first said i'll just go through adam's it'll be quick
because she said men are quick anyway that's what she said true but i didn't care about anything she
said except your a1c she's like no this is good i'm like excuse me doc i'm gonna get my hands in
the air i'm i'm like i'm like doing the robot i'm doing the running man i'm doing all that i'm like
oh oh wow my a1c is not all that bad now is it everything now testosterone of course for a man of 61 i could use a little more tea i like you got low tea man i got low tea man okay that really fixable that not a problem uh but in general i would say
you're you're doing pretty well i'm doing pretty good yeah so that made me feel good and then for
the next hour i had to listen to all your problems oh my lord what is all this stuff
You got Hashimoto, you got Satoshi Nakamoto, you got your open kimono, your closed kimono.
All this stuff is going on.
I know.
Women.
And the solution is just give blood from time to time.
Like, holy moly, that's my nightmare right there.
What is the solution to your iron whatever?
Like, just give some blood.
I'm like, what?
That would be a death sentence to me.
I don't want that.
It was amazing.
and i was and i was just sitting like oh i feel so good i gotta oh i gotta have some d3 and b12

Yes. I have a lot of problems. My, so my B12 is off the chart. I don't know why.
That's what she said. Just give some blood. It'll go down.
That was my ferritin. My ferritin levels.
Your pheromones, your ferritines, whatever it is. Your ferrites.
Go, go, go. Donate some blood. You'll be fine.
It's amazing. What a death sentence for me. I don't like so happy.

and also thank you for making me do this

into it i'm like yeah exactly i know i know no it's good no this is i need i need to know this
How am I ever going to just let go?
And I'm typically not like this, but today I would.
What?
No, not at all.
Typically not.
I'm not this bad.
You control the schedule of your day from the moment you wake up.
Well, I have to.
I'm like, good morning, Holy Spirit.
Good morning, my love.
Yes, I'm going walking.
and then you have the eggs ready when I come back
because I've got coffee with this person
and lunch with that person.
I have a newsletter to do.
I've got to be at the church for the women's ministry.
What are you doing today?
I have to, well, all right, I'm the worst.
No, you're not.
Stop saying that.
Let's talk about our fast.
Let's stop saying that you're the worst, okay?
Because you're not.
Okay, you're the worst.
Well, no, that's clearly not true.
Yes, we know.
You're the perfect specimen.
I have all these names for our show.
No, I am just not dead yet.
Don't count me out yet.
Not dead yet.
Not dead yet, but that's a good one.
So let's talk about our fast.
So we did a week-long fast.
This was hard for me.
It was hard for you.
It was harder than, for some reason, harder than the last time.
So you fasted, you ate one meal a day and no wine.
You had no wine.
And I fasted from social media.
and I started reading a book by Derek Prince that one of our listeners sent us.
I think it's the fundamentals of Christianity.
Very interesting.
And this is a church fast.
So the whole church does it and you can do many different ways.
It's different ways to fast.
As long as you're, you know, as long as you, to me, I get a lot of clarity.
It really does help in that, but it was, I don't know.
It was just, it felt physically harder for some reason.
Yeah. A little bit.
Yeah.
I noticed for me, it was so interesting because I'd open my iPad and without even thinking about it, I would open up Instagram and I'd be like, oh my gosh, no.
You said it happened three times in a row.
Yeah, three times where I automatically just went to it without even thinking, which showed me how addicting it is.
And I kind of went through withdrawals and I couldn't wait to get back on it, to see it, to see what was on it.
Yeah, that's bad.
That's bad.
I'm not going to say anything, but I remember when he broke our fast, the first thing he
did was get on Instagram.
Yeah.
I had to check and see all my Insta families, see how they're doing.
Make sure they were still alive.
Yeah.
They're all fine.
As long as it brings you joy, baby.
I don't know.
I know.
Sometimes I'll look over your shoulder.
I'm like, okay.
All right.
I look at streams.
Food, dogs.
I look at streams.
I like looking at happy people.
But during this fast, we've been watching only one type of program in general after we watched Victoria.
Actually, it started with...
The Gilded Age.
Then we watched Downton Abbey.
And then we watched Victoria.
Yes.
And now we're going through The Crown.
And what a miserable life.
No kidding.
And I've met this woman.
I have met this queen.
How long ago did you meet her?
2000?
25 years ago?
No, no, no.
It was 20 years ago, 2005.
Five.
So she was probably, what, 75 at the time?
Something like that?
Yeah, up there.
Didn't she die at like 95?
Yeah.
From the moment she had to take the throne, she was unhappy.
She was miserable.
And kind of, you know, as we've been doing this, particularly tonight, you know, they call themselves the sovereign.
Oh, my gosh.
And then as I'm listening to, and we're reading scripture about God being sovereign and how God crushes kings and build kings up.
And I'm like, these people who consider themselves sovereign next to God.
I mean, you really had the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church there, the Pope is the connection to God.
and the Anglicans, the Church of England,
it's the sovereign who clearly are just very normal people
with a lot of normal people issues.
And their lives just seem crushing.
It just seems bad.
They live in that dark, drab palace.
When I went there, it was a dark, I mean,
it was the picture hall that we keep seeing.
It was that.
And it was cool because it was like, oh, I've never seen that Rembrandt.
But it's just the whole thing.
It's dusty and dank.
And it's so different from Victoria because the Victorian age was much more glamorous and beautiful.
And I look at the crown and, you know, which goes from like the 30s.
Well, we're now in season two.
Yes, we're in the 60s now.
So in the 60s.
But this is exactly what London has always been to me when I lived there.
Cold, wet, dark, drab, stinky, depressing, greasy.
Yes.
Yeah. No offense, Brits. No offense. I mean, there's also, I like a lot of their humor. I've always liked their humor, but, oh man, it's just like when you call yourself sovereign and it's almost like God's like, yeah, I don't think so.
yeah and maybe i don't know maybe we're glued to it now and we are oh yeah the historical nature
yes and i and i even said to you last night i said i am so interested in history now i wish i
would have been as interested in that when i never too late to learn no and that's why partly why
we're watching this is because we watched that one um mini series about james garfield the 20th
president yeah oh that's right we had that yeah which was it was really interesting i didn't know
I didn't know anything about that either.
That was good.
So, yeah.
So we, that's one thing we did on the fast.
We did watch the crowd.
We did.
Yeah, it was good.
So I have on my list here.
Can I just say something?
Yes.
I love you.
I love doing all this stuff with you.
My life is so rich because of all the things we do together.
Even when I tap on the window?
Oh, that is like a cherry on top of the ice cream sundae, baby.
It's awesome.
I love you too, baby.
It's awesome.
And I appreciate that you did this with me too.
No, thank you.
Because I need you around.
I need you.
I know.
I know what it's all about.
Yeah.
What's it all about?
Safety, security.
No.
Well, no, but there's like, I was also sick for about, actually, it was probably about
10 days, which was partially the flu.
And then it morphed along with some allergies.
When I'm not strong, you hate that.
You really don't like it.
And you actually get a little bit mean.
You don't know it, but you get a little bit like, he's so weak.
I do not say that.
I don't say that.
No, you don't.
But you don't like it.
I don't like it.
I don't like when you're sick.
I don't.
But if I needed to jump up and save you from the burning building, don't worry.
I'll be there.
I get a little mean.
I don't like that.
Well, I'm horrible.
This is roast Tina show.
No, you're not.
Yes, it is.
You're not.
You are...
You are the woman that was meant for me.
It's so obvious.
So obvious.
All right.
I have on my list here.
Back to you, Bob.
Moans and groans on show days unless he likes what he's doing.
Dinner with Mitch.
Okay.
Yes.
So typically.
What are we doing?
So typically, I have to figure out what I put in.
You really wrote something down.
Okay.
So typically, if I plan something on show days, you're just, oh, oh.
Yeah, that's true.
That is true.
But then when you were having dinner plans with Mitch, you were like, I'm excited.
Maverick.
You're excited.
Well, first of all, it's only because he has an office now in Fredericksburg and he's only here on Thursday.
And when he texted me during the show and said, I have to delay until like 6, 630 or 7.
I was like, ugh.
I said, well, you go ahead.
You were fasting too.
You go ahead and you change the reservation because I'm not going to do it.
So I was a little perturbed about that.
But when you had made the plans, you were excited to go to dinner with him.
And what I'm saying is typically if I make plans on Thursday, you're moaning and groaning to me about it because it's just me.
But that was Maverick and you were excited.
Oh, is that the way you took it?
Yes, that is exactly how it is.
That's why I wrote it down.
Okay.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring that up.
Okay, well, there you go.
Slap me back one.
Good job.
You nailed me.
You got it.
But I like when you go out to dinner with your friends.
I do like that.
I mean, we had some, I won't tell his stories, but we had some good stories to exchange.
Yes.
Yeah.
And he's a good guy.
Yeah.
I really like him.
I do too.
He's a good guy and he's fun.
Yes.
And he helped Dame Annette with some stuff.
Yeah.
No, it's just good.
It's good to have super talented people in our friend circle.
There's nothing like sitting in a sushi restaurant, texting the lieutenant of the Gillespie County Sheriff Department saying,
Hey man, is the road clear? Can I drive back that way?
And getting a text back. Yeah, no problem. It's all cool. You know, we got to have dinner sometime.
That's what you said. It's good for us to know him. I mean, we love Mike anyway.
Mike, we've known Mike since we...
He was one of the first people we met here in Fredericksburg.
I was going to say we met him right when we moved into this house.
He helped us with a lot of things.
And that's when he told us all his cool cop stories.
That's what you're like.
We have to have dinner because we need more cool cop stories.
He has the best.
So you want to talk about what you're doing for the church?
What am I doing?
The briefing?
Oh, the cultural briefing?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
This is actually quite fun.
And Pastor Jimmy asked me two weeks ago, he said, hey, because I was talking about Iran, because we're always texting and talking about stuff.
And he said, hey, can you write me like a little boots on the ground type thing?
Yeah, sure.
And so I wrote a little bit and I kind of enjoyed it.
I'm not a writer at all.
So I wrote like three stories and then he delivered them in the cultural briefing during, you know, before he started the sermon.
I was like, wow.
And they said, well, would you do another one?
And so I did another one.
And I'm like, I really, it's short.
You know, it's kind of bullet point.
It's going to be shorter still.
And I'm like, I'm really liking this.
And they said, well, would you mind writing this every week?
I said, hold on.
I said babe would you edit these for brevity and grammar Yeah of course So we writing it not you No that what I told him right away I said Pastor Jimmy he said Tina agreed to edit it for brevity
And so, yeah, I'm very excited about it.
And then, you know, after he's done it,
I want to put it on, I put it on a sub stack.
So maybe other churches can benefit from it.
Yes, I think it's good.
And I think it's good.
And I told you what to do with the sub stack.
You could just repurpose it and put it out there.
Yeah, and I got the sub stack app
against all of my uh uh everything i stand for and it's amazing the first person who read and
liked my cultural briefing that i repurposed on stuff was rob kirkpatrick i know focus on the
family holy crap people are reading this okay yeah because you posted it on x right no oh you didn't
no no how did he get to it then i don't know it's the magic you should post it on x no i'm gonna
Keep it on Substack.
No, but you post the link.
I hate X.
Okay.
X is this.
Well, how are you going to draw people to it then?
Well, clearly, people are already drawn to it.
I don't know what it is.
I'm seeing like 15 people a day subscribing to my Substack.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I had no idea.
And you're not even promoting it?
No.
I was going to like, maybe I'll send it to someone, let them know that it's there.
No.
I go like, subscribe, subscribe, subscribe.
Why wouldn't you put it on X?
Then it'll draw more people to, we get to do this.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I can do, I can just do a piece of art for you that is, you can use over and over
and over again.
Cause it's nice to have an image.
You're going to do some art for me now?
Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you.
I was so mean to you today.
Well, then you should do lots of art for me.
Make up for that.
Cause I was mean to you when you were sick.
No, you're not mean.
I just, I can just tell that you despise it.
you just don't like it when I'm not,
when I'm not feeling.
No,
I don't.
I worry.
I get it.
But it's because I am constant.
I know.
You are.
I know I am.
You're constant.
Exactly.
I know I'm constant.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You're doing the God shots.
Oh,
yes,
I am.
Yeah.
So on top of all this,
he's like,
Hey,
you're doing the God shot.
Sure,
babe.
Without hesitation.
It's time for Adam's God shot.
so this has um has a lot to do with situations in my life this particular um proverb yes that i'm
going to read a little bit from today and has partially to do with uh social media when people
say things and how if you respond which I'm kind of over but really there were some situations in
my life um with people who I respect and and I disagreed with and I wanted to I really I really
had to think about how do I handle this what what is wisdom in how I deal with because I get a lot
of people who are um particularly uh no agenda listeners who are very and people who i know
and they're very um rude like black pill no like everything sucks it's nothing's gonna change
it's you know which to me is mocking like uh whatever it's all it's all no good it's all of
the same nothing ever changes nothing ever happens and i'm just not like that but not at all
particularly when people i know whether i know them like really personally or i've known them for
years of interaction and it bothers me um and you know it's not my place to change people per se but
this helped me just reading this proverbs 9 uh 7 to 9 and this was kind of like a warning anyone
who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. And boy, is that true. There's another
problem. Anyone who rebukes a mocker. Yeah. So if I say, hey, you know, stop it or whatever,
all you're going to do is get an insult in return. There's another proverb that says,
don't try to converse with fools for you will become a fool yourself. But even if you say,
I'm going to pray for you. Oh, that's even worse. Okay. Anyone who corrects the wicked
will get hurt.
So that's kind of telling me
I should just let that go.
So don't bother correcting mockers.
They will only hate you.
Well, I don't want people to hate me.
So do as you must.
But correct the wise
and they will love you.
Instruct the wise
and they will be even wiser.
Teach the righteous
and they will learn even more.
I've had a few people
who I respect who are smart and wise,
who I corrected and it really was beautiful.
Well, that's because that relationship is built on respect, right?
Yeah.
You think the mockers, people that you...
No.
Is that a relationship that's built on respect?
Some of them.
Yeah?
Some of them, yeah.
But just when people get into mocking, you should just let it go.
And this is also in a way about social media in general,
not that I'm a big responder to stuff,
but when people just mock them if you respond to that it's just it's not going to do anything
it's only going to get worse they're going to hate you you only get insults in return
and so this to me this was i wrote this down today before you even asked me for the god shot
and i'm like you know this is a good rule to live by if people are mocking and saying stuff
particularly on social media no need to respond because you you will guarantee here it is it's
written get insults in return yes yes if you're trying to correct someone who's saying something
horrible it's not worth it yeah it's the they will only hate you and i just felt like this was
i hope this is okay for the god shot yeah it's perfect babe this is good job because this good
A plus.
Good job.
A plus plus.
It just, the more I read the Bible, and thank you, by the way, for my Pray for America Bible,
and also Christina's devotional book that she gave me, that's magnificent.
And it's just, especially the Pray for America Bible is so good because you're reading three different,
you know, it's like Old Testament, Gospels, Psalm, Proverbs.
And they start off with, you know, praying.
Old Testament, New Testament?
Old Testament, Gospels, typically.
Gospel, okay.
A Psalm and a Proverb.
And it's big, big pieces.
It's not like a little blap, blap, blap, blap.
Not like you version, which I also look at still.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's really helping me to pray for our country, pray for all our representatives.
And I won't call them leaders as some people do.
It's elected representatives.
And it makes me feel really good.
What a great gift that was.
Thank you so much for that.
You're so welcome.
And for my saved hoodie.
That was for your birthday.
Yeah.
Well, it feels like I just got it for you.
Okay.
Well, I've started the Bible recap again, and I've been reading.
Which is where the original Godshot comes from.
Exactly, yeah.
What's the name?
Terri Cobble.
And it's hitting so differently the second time around.
So I've read the New Testament twice, and I've read the Bible, the whole Bible once.
But the second time, I'm learning even more, which is amazing.
oh i'm really enjoying it i don't think that stops yes yeah no i know i'm very hungry for it
i really enjoy it because pastor jimmy was talking about um joseph tonight yes kind of
just offhanded and i've been reading uh genesis yes i've been reading about that whole story and
i'm like wow this is this is i'm in the beginning of genesis we're not quite to joseph yet but we
I studied Joseph in one of the Bible studies I went to.
This was about a year and a half ago.
So it's nice to know the stories, but I'm learning more of the layers.
Anyway, good cut shot, babe.
Well, thank you very much.
Thank you for doing it.
I appreciate it.
No, it's my pleasure.

No, no, no.
But just about the image.
Okay, we know this is the whole,
Tina's Horrible Show.
We got it.
You're not horrible.
We got it.
Carry on.
It's all right.
You get your revenge.
That's right. Here's where Tina has a question. She already knows your answer, of course, so it puts me on the spot.
Here we go. Question of the week.
Okay. This is contrary to what this whole show is about, me being the worst wife in the world.
You're not. You are the best wife ever.
All right. Here we go. What is the most attractive thing I do without realizing it?
to me when you are in the zone working on anything related to marketing writing
which kind of goes hand in hand that is incredibly attractive to see you in your zone at your
profession, what you are at the top, have always been at the top of your game, how we met, that is
super attractive. And you know, this is coming right from the heart because I didn't do my typical
when I see you just boom, doing, doing your thing, which is unique to you. You are very good at it.
Oh, thank you. The first time we met, I said, where were you when I was hiring people for this?
So yes, that is very attractive.
Oh, thank you.
That's very sweet.
Mine is very similar.
And I've said this to you before, when I see you in your element, when I see you creating, you're such a visionary.
I see you bringing it to fruition.
I mean, I see all of it.
I see you roll it out.
I see your excitement.
When you're in your element, it's the same thing.
It's very, very attractive.
Yeah, absolutely.
You want to see me do some more creating?
some stuff. Let me see your brain, baby.
Hey, man.
Hey, man. Time to leave this show alone.
Yes. I love you, Mrs. Curry.
I love you, too, Adam.
We'll be back in two
weeks. Two weeks. Two and two, everybody.
Me too.
All right, everybody. Take care.
Vineyard Nation!
