Great and pupu
Analyze
What up?
Pupu's a gun, you can't say gun
Got the front door
You can't say gun on a TikTok
Yeah, it's pretty strict over there
What?
Wild over there
You can dance naked but just don't say gun
Dad gun, Chinese
Taking over everything
Even our speech
Ugh
Yeah
Well I don't know what we're supposed to do here
Should we...
I see... let's see here
You inviting some non-helDS listeners here
I see at least two to three of them
We got FR, Chris, Pope Leo, Kirk Rollins
Who apparently is not a Latter-day saint
But definitely post some bangers about us
Which is greatly appreciated sometimes
Ugh
I'm just gonna be working now
But uh...
I want whenever you guys want me to
That's chill
So we can kind of dive into it
Maybe I'll just use the real example
Alright, so this kid
Started the...
Actually I'm thinking of like a couple posts actually
But anyway
This kid
Young kid
Service missionary
Posting pictures of himself
Kind of disheveled
Not very missionary-like
And uh... kind of
You know
Hanging out with the
What are they called?
Secret lives of Mormon lives
Very brother Joseph
I want you to be very careful
Because it sounds like you're judging
You might be throwing some stones here
Be very very careful right now
Well that's what I'm trying to figure out
Right?
So I uh...
For the record
I actually have met Kai
Hanging out with Kai
He's a great kid
He's a very
Well-intentioned
Got a good heart
I just uh...
So that
That's where the question comes in
Right?
At uh...
I understand people's impulse
To like be a good friend
Be supportive
Sure you're love
Uh...
So I'm actually a fan
The people defending him
I don't hate him
I will...
I am glad that he has friends
I'm glad that he feels loved
I'm glad that he has support
Uh...
I'm glad people are showing up for him
But at the same time
I think he messed up
And...
And...
And...
or something else
I don't know
I don't know what he's got
But uh...
We do love our shorts though
Yeah
Even in winter
We'll be wearing shorts
I don't know what that is
Anyway, so...
Yeah, here's the thing
If we don't call people out and be like
Yeah, no
Like I don't want my kids
Seeing this stuff
And uh...
Thinking it's okay
Right?
to kind of have to have people chewing them out a little bit.
That might be too strong, but do you know what I mean?
I don't like this idea that people can just start going
way off the rails,
and then this niceness Mormon culture is just like,
well, you just gotta love them, like be nice,
it's not our job, I kinda think that's like,
cope, I think it's BS, I think it is very much our job
to be like, real in these people back a little bit.
Am I wrong?
I think you're a little soft, I think you need to go
a little bit extra hard on this.
You know what, you're right,
excommunicate them.
Oh, it's boss.
Now we're talking, there we go.
You know what, forget excommunication,
get the millstone, no, but like seriously,
what do we, what do people want?
Why are people upset?
What are we supposed to do?
Sorry, go ahead, Troy.
Well, I was just gonna say, first I do agree
that if you are a missionary, you're held
to a certain standard, let's just get that part out the way.
And I don't think some people are like,
oh, I think people are trying to keep missionaries
back in the 1990s or what have you.
Like no, I think ultimately there is a standard
if you truly believe you are a representative
Jesus Christ, you need to act accordingly.
And I'm not perfect by any means at that myself,
and I wasn't as a missionary.
So I understand that these are young guys
that are learning, young guys and girls
that are learning or whatnot,
but there is a standard that we should be held to.
Now what that said, when it comes to pushing back
and calling them out, I think it's a matter of how we go
about that or what the best process is versus giving
maybe some of these posts more attention
that then what is needed and hoping it go more viral
than it should, I think is where the conversation really is.
I think you do point out an unfortunate,
cause yeah, like some of these things like blow up
and it's way bigger than it ought to be.
But then part of me just thinks like, well, yeah,
like if you are a celebrity and you are in the limelight
and you are, yeah, like I guess the rule is,
if you're a public figure, you are setting yourself up
for public.
Just Christian, and I just think those are the rules.
When you say a public figure, who are we talking about, your Kai?
It could be Kai.
Yeah, I mean, I'm just speaking, he was kind of the person
that came to me. I think he's what stirred the whole controversy,
but I could be talking to anybody, you know?
The thing with me on my thoughts with the whole Kai thing is,
I don't know what the rules are for service missionaries.
I have no idea what they are.
And even then the rules,
here, then are much different, or I'm sorry, the rules now
are much different from the rules that I had when I served.
I don't know about you guys, but I served in 07 to 09.
And that was a long time.
Yeah, I'm a dinosaur, but I'm more handsome than you still, Lego.
In any case, so right.
More jacks.
Some of them.
In the gym right now.
Just answer that question.
Who's in the gym?
Anyway, so I don't know what's going on with service missionaries
with the rules are, but I definitely, definitely,
definitely don't think that you should be hanging around
with the secret lives of Mormon wives,
wearing a missionary badge, wearing shorts,
looking like, dude, let's hang out until midnight.
Freaking a, yeah, man, kind of think.
I don't think he'd go as far as to do some shots,
but he definitely witnessed it.
That's for sure.
Yeah.
So, so how do we someone?
And I thought this was an interesting
I'm not criticizing this person.
I thought it was an interesting comment.
He shared the.
Gosh, it was like a list of, oh man, what was it?
It was basically like the, the quote unquote,
rules of like calling someone out.
And part of it was like, is this person like under my?
What's the word?
Not care, but
someone helped me out here.
I know they're you're like a
like I think.
Jurisdiction.
I'm thinking of all the wrong words.
But yeah, if this person is like, if you were like called
to minister to this family, stewardship, stewardship, that's the one.
Stewardship.
Athler.
I'm a morning.
So I thought that was interesting.
So I think some people are arguing like if this person is not
under your stewardship, if you haven't been, I don't know what that means.
Like you're not his, if this person hasn't been like assigned to you,
you're not in the show.
You have no jurisdiction.
And that's where.
Yeah.
And so that's where I go back to the like, oh, is it different when it's being made public?
I think if it's out in the public, if your, if your public is able to scrutinize,
that's what I think.
That's what I think.
Big K gave a thumbs down.
He disagrees.
I would.
Oh, big K.
I'm sorry.
You've been trying to come up.
Uh, how do I let you up?
We got a disagreement from big K big K.
Oh, okay.
Are we ever going to get into the talk with the about the Lizzie's?
I was just talking about that.
We were just talking about that on TikTok and then we have an income over here.
Oh, but now I can swear.
Oh, here we go.
This is perfect.
I want to get now I can say what I really need bigger presence over on TikTok.
I couldn't say what I meant to say on TikTok.
Now I can just let it fly.
I feel like this guy thing all started as a result of them allowing sister missionaries
wear pants.
Oh, you're so right.
Get it.
And like, oh, my God, the tan suits the tan suits and no, I do think if I,
if I go out to, if I go out to public and I see missionaries doing something,
that I know where against the handbook, I'm not going to say, oh, that's their mission
president's job to tell them.
I'm going to say obviously the mission president isn't going to see what I'm going to see
because I was a missionary and I knew apostate missionaries when I was on my mission.
And they didn't act like that at his own conference.
You know, is there a way to see the up to date handbook as far as how missionaries should
behave and what kind of lifestyle they should be having throughout the day?
I'm sure it's somewhere.
I really doubt it.
That's different than what it was 10 years ago or 15 years ago.
Oh, me.
I could, I could not talk to my family on a phone.
That's for dang sure.
But I do feel we had a flip phone.
I do feel it's different, though.
If you see them out in public and you address something versus making it, uh,
giving it more fire and fuel online, I do think there's a difference between the two.
I will say this.
Any news that's pointed at the church is always good news.
So I'm not saying that what this kid did was good.
At the same time, it does shine a light on us and any light is great light.
He's next.
So I really do believe so.
I mean, like there hasn't been a moment in history, at least from what I've seen me personally.
I maybe at a certain point, but I personally have not seen a moment where a light was
shine on the church and it actually hurt the church really bad.
You might be able to make the case that, uh, like history has shown that, right?
You want to make that argument?
I think where I'm concerned is like, is it, uh, necessarily the case?
Or will that always be the case?
That's where I get concerned.
Uh, but I big K, I think you, you, you had a thumbs down on something.
I don't remember what it was.
Did you, did we have a different agreement on something?
It was just on the, the stewardship thing.
Like, obviously, uh, him as a service missionary, I think he'd be under the stewardship of his
bishop.
Um, was that how it is?
I don't, I don't think he has a mission present.
Uh, possibly maybe, maybe, maybe.
Oh, is that, is that true?
That's why we need the stewardship of the manual guys.
I'm telling you, we need the rules.
Let someone pull it up.
I don't want, I don't like being that guy, but let's pull out the dad gun rule book and figure out what the heck is going on.
I, I feel like I'm like, not even a member.
I just, how do I not know these things?
This is crazy.
Sister, she's got something to say.
Uh, okay.
Actually, you know what?
I don't believe in letting her in talk.
So you shut your mouth.
Kate, what if I'm a good better?
Wait, can you guys hear me?
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, so I'm like, I'm like open to being wrong.
And I hope you guys like do probably wrong because I understand like that I'm sometimes just a woman with feelings and no thoughts.
Um, but like I, I like, I actually want to defend Kai because I know him in real life.
And I do know that like, um, because I've, I've talked to him in real life that he does get in trouble with the church and his mission for like,
posting certain things and behaving certain ways.
So I'm sure that like, um, the church will see this post and kind of decide for themselves like their mission leaders will figure it out for themselves.
Um, oh my gosh.
My dog.
My dog saw me.
Hey, you're okay.
The dog has a dogster.
We know she has a dog.
I know exactly where you live now because that dog is her.
Sorry.
I got distracted.
But like I think I have a hard time like seeing what Kai did is like inherently wrong.
And maybe it's because I've never served a mission before.
And I don't really like understand what's wrong with like an untucked shirt and shorts.
But like I would have a hard time also being in that position, being like, no, I don't want to take pictures of the secret lives of morbid wives.
I will tell you, I will tell you what is wrong.
It is the badge that's on his shirt.
He is a representative of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Like that is what is wrong.
And it's, it's not so much the situation that he's in.
It's, it's a situation that he's in with that badge on.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
But like what exactly is the situation that's a bad because because these people have like sin before he shouldn't be like hanging out with them or because they are like representing
Mormonism and it shouldn't be like what is what is exactly like it was a bomb Satan Sunday event like
had flames and like it was
it was like a thing
