The Joy Ride #100

Welcome fellow adventurers to the Masculine Journey Joyride Podcast. This is a brand new show from the guys you know.

I'm talking of course about the Band of Brothers. My name is Keith and I'm the producer for Masculine Journey and Masculine Journey. After hours. In this podcast, you will hear funny stories, exchanges and thought provoking moments that will amuse you, make you smile and draw you closer to Jesus Christ in your journey of life. My fellow dads, turn off the lawnmowers, put down the remote and listen to these words. The day is near. I'm talking about the day where the world must recognize that Father knows best. Father's Day is the day we add to our already extensive collection of ties, socks and tools. But to us, Father's Day is a day of honor. A day where we are recognized for our wise ways and words. George likes the bananas.

So let him have bananas on the side. So for us here from the Masculine Journey, we salute you. We salute all the dads, fathers, daddies, pops, papas and the old man.

It's a clanker. That blessed stupid part is. Happy Father's Day.

Yeah, you're growing up dad. He's a mechanical genius. He just can fix anything. But, you know, as we come growing up, if we had a bike or something broke, he would always have us out there fixing it with him or doing something. And he taught us the value of, you know, being able to do things and to work for what you have. And, you know, he allowed us to work on our uncle's farm and earn money. And that's what I bought my first car with. But, you know, if the car broke or if it was something going on with the car.

You had to go to shop with him and I hated it. But the value of that throughout my life has been that, you know, I've been able to do a lot of things. And, you know, if something broke, I was able to fix it. And, you know, know the value of what my father has poured into me and showing the love of taking care of us, making sure that we did have what it took. The one thing I did think about on my dad that he really kind of gave me was a lot of values. My dad was not a Christian. You know, when I was growing up, he didn't come a Christian until right before he died.

Several years after I'd been out of the house. But he did have good values. He would teach me things like, you never hit a woman. You never do this.

You know, you never throw the first punch in a fight. And all these kind of, you know, rules that men live by kind of stuff. Open doors for people, elderly and, you know, young people and female and all that. These days may not be as apropos that we do that. But, you know, it still was good values. You know, and I do owe that to my dad. Because he was pretty adamant. You know, if I would have ever gotten a fight in school, the first thing he wanted to know, which if I ever got in a fight, I got in fights all the time. But, you know, did I throw the first punch?

No, but you could do a lot to instigate a fight without throwing the first punch. I learned how to do that one. Let's take a little bit of a sidetrack and say hello to Andy, who's not been with us in a while. Andy, welcome to the show again. I thought maybe you quit. So from the guys on Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road.
