Uncle John
Matthew 5:
17 begins,"do not think that I came to
destroy the law of the prophets."
I did not come to destroy them,
but to fulfill them.
Because I tell all of you
with certainty
disappear,
not one letter
or one stroke of a letter
will disappear from the law
"until everything
has been accomplished."
Hell... fire.
Those two words...
"Hell fire"...
Came from Jesus's lips directly.
The son of god spoke them,
and there is no
misunderstanding him.
He spoke them as two words...
"Hell fire."
So as to be perfectly
crystal clear on what he means,
he is describing the place,
hell.
But there is a problem
at work today, a mortal problem,
and we are not talking about it.
Jesus spoke those two words...
"Hell fire"...
And nobody
wants to hear about it.
We are comforted by Jesus
the savior, Jesus the healer.
God who sent his only son
down to earth itself
and we feel good
We fold our hands in thanks
and then move about our lives
as though all is fine,
but we do not want to think
You can walk this earth
and claim
he is in you all you want,
but you will be judged
on your actions.
Hell is real. It does exist.
Hell fire... simply spoken,
and praise be to god for it.
And if you don't want
you need to be ready.
We are all going to die,
every one of us.
It could be in 80 years.
Could be
It does not matter.
for our judgment.
You need to think about
where you are going to wake up.
Are you ready?
In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
You can be seated.
- Going to coffee, yeah?
- What's that?
You headed to coffee?
Well, um...
but I got a couple of things
to do today.
Maybe catch you up
for the afternoon round.
All right.
Might see you later, then, yeah.
Dale!
John.
Yeah. Yeah, good, good.
You?
Yeah, yeah.
Say, uh, I'm gonna be burning
over at the quarry
and stuff today.
And, uh...
Yeah, no, no.
I just don't want
you two worrying
and come
rushing over there again.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, well,
not that much stuff yet,
but you know, I had such a heck
of a time with that big pile
last time that, uh, you know,
I just thought I'd take care
of it today.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I follow, yeah.
Yeah, what do you got?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Well, you are not messing
around anymore, are you?
Yeah, well, I'm too old
to mess around anymore.
Just toss on a lot of gas
up front and kick on back.
All right,
we'll get to kicking back.
I won't be a minute.
That log
looks pretty good over there.
Why don't you take a seat,
relax,
and there's these apple
turnovers Mary baked up today.
Why don't you enjoy those?
Good lord, I love that woman.
I apologize, Dale, but I do.
All right, well, go grab a seat.
All right.
- John, hey!
- Yeah.
- You all right?
- Yeah, why?
Your leg, is it bleeding?
What?
Oh, must have caught
myself on something.
You sure? Let's take a look.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll check it out later.
Okay.
And thank Mary for me.
You know what I'm saying?
If I don't feed 'em...
Oh, you don't get a check?
Oh, okay.
You know,
there's someone at home.
- Hey, miss Jenkins.
- Better put that on hold.
You have to call
that 1-800 number on the back.
- I left a note.
- I don't care about that.
I need your I.D. And his I.D.
I left a note.
I don't care about the exits,
okay?
Bye!
2974!
It integrates your muscles
rather than isolates them.
Uhhuh.
transforms your body's
vulnerabilities into strengths.
Okay.
It's actually surprisingly hard.
What's another one?
All right, try this one.
Hold your arm like this.
Uhhuh.
And do a squat.
Uh, nope.
Yeah, well, I mean,
why don't you buy a gym
membership or something, man?
You guys broke up?
- Yeah, before the wedding.
- Hmm.
For about a year.
Yeah, I thought it was gonna
be all party in the USA,
and just ended up
watching a lot of netflix.
- I believe it.
- And porn.
Huh?
Yeah, I was just thinking
about all the old porno
I used to watch.
Like old, actual old porno?
Yeah, vintage stuff.
How old?
I can't remember.
There's so much of it.
Just a blur of flesh?
- Yep.
- Nice.
Yeah.
Anyway, I looked good.
I had the d'Angelo lines.
Yeah, what was that song?
I don't know. I can't remember.
Google it.
Oh, it was "brown sugar"?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
No, it was "brown sugar."
- No, trust me on this.
- No, it was "brown sugar."
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, thanks.
Um... as you have undoubtedly
figured out by now,
we've brought on
a new junior producer.
Miss Katelyn Barnes.
Hi.
She comes to us fresh
from New York City.
So make her feel at home.
She's so cute.
She's gonna be working you guys
into the ground soon enough,
so now's your chance
to make friends.
Welcome, Katelyn.
So, Beth, what's the cake?
Real cake?
God damn it.
You know, vegan cake
is not real cake.
Cake needs eggs.
Just keep your voice down.
- Cake needs butter.
- I know.
Gracias. Mm-hmm.
Danke.
I don't know why I'm doing this.
Thanks.
Eat the cake.
Just eat the frosting, then.
- Yeah.
- Better?
Unhunh, worse.
What is this?
What... what's happening here?
I don't... I don't get this.
You know, I'm glad
that you decided to come here.
I mean, um...
I mean, New York is fine,
and it's a fine place to live, but if
you're gonna work there, it's dead.
There's nothing going on there, and
I mean, that's doubly true for L.A.
I mean, if you see something that's
bad, you know it's from New York.
If you see something
that just sucks ass,
you know it's from L.A...
It's been that way for years.
Yeah, I'm really excited
to be here.
Oh, it's good. I mean, there's
gonna be opportunity here.
Frankly, a lot of these folks
that you see here, you know,
they haven't worked out like
but I got... I got a lot
of hope for you.
I got a lot
of confidence in you.
Thank you, thank you.
I'm really excited.
I know, it's great.
Are you moved in and everything?
Do you like where you're
staying?
You like where you moved?
I really like my place.
- Yeah, yeah, good, good.
- The rent's great here, too.
Gonna need a coat.
It gets colder than hell here.
- Right, yeah.
- Colder than New York...
A lot colder.
Yeah, I bought some coats.
Yeah, a big f***ing coat.
Yeah.
Mm, boots, too,
because the snow
is just... god damn, it snows.
He's telling me,
got to do this with the margins,
got to do that with...
What the hell
are you talking about?
- Got to be kidding.
- Isn't he 12?
Fellas.
John.
Say, where did you mention Dale
was getting his nutrients now?
Some new formula
that's cheaper or something?
