- Meaning, i needed that in order to get me to where i'm at today.
- 00:04:02.824 --> 00:04:04.726

- Because people had greater faith than i did.
- 00:04:05.727 --> 00:04:07.129

- Knowledge, love, or faith. worst case scenario, god.
- 00:13:35.330 --> 00:13:38.333
- Worst case scenario, god. but try to avoid god
- 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.434
- But try to avoid god because even that
- 00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.501

- It's the truth.
- 00:14:30.585 --> 00:14:31.786
- Would that be a dad joke or
- 00:14:31.853 --> 00:14:32.820
- Would that be on the other line
- 00:14:32.887 --> 00:14:33.988
