The Final Episode

00:00
Rich Rudowske
Welcome to the essentially translatable podcast brought to you by Lutheran Bible translators. My name is Rich Friedowski. I’m the chief operating officer here at LBT. Today’s episode is a test episode to test out my pop filter to see if I don’t pop all my peas like I always used to do. Let’s see how it turns out. Welcome to the centrally translatable podcast brought to you by Lutheran Bible translators. 

00:43
Andrew Olson
That’s what you would be if you were on the Chipmunks movie, right? 

00:46
Emily Wilson
There’s another career lined up for you. 

00:48
Rich Rudowske
Yes. Welcome to the essentially translatable podcast side Hustle. So it’s going to be like that today we are nearing. It is April Fools, and it is nearing the two year anniversary of the beginning of this podcast. 

01:08
Emily Wilson
And we thought you deserved a little treat. 

01:11
Rich Rudowske
Yeah, a little something. Our producer, Andrew Olsen, who you hear about every week if you listen all the way through to the credits, both of you that do that. He’s here in the studio with us and over a couple of years has compiled some wonderful stuff that hasn’t made it to the podcast yet until today. 

01:29
Andrew Olson
Well, there was some things that were just so unforgettable, we couldn’t let them go. We just had to immortalize them in an episode now where we will play them for everyone to hear. 

01:38
Rich Rudowske
So it’s been a lot of fun on the podcast and that we just wanted to share some of the good times with you here. 

01:44
Emily Wilson
It’s not all serious all the time, right? 

01:46
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. 

01:47
Andrew Olson
When you look behind the scenes of this podcast, there’s a lot of great things that happen, and the comedy is one of those things that we don’t share a lot of on the actual official podcast. But I’m happy that we can throw that curtain open and let everybody get an inside look here on what it’s really like to be part of this team. Really. So this is what I get to enjoy as the editor all the time. 

02:05
Rich Rudowske
When we got this wonderful studio set, a couple other folks on the podcast team, we should give a shout out to Caleb Rotewald, Sarah Lyons. They do all the great artwork that you see on a weekly basis. And yeah, when all this equipment that we’re sitting around came in, then Caleb and Sarah tested out first and they gave us some real gems, right? 

02:25
Andrew Olson
Someone gave them access to the microphones here. And you gave us some things to remember here. This one’s called smiles are important. 

02:33
Rich Rudowske
Well, thank you to coming to essentially translatable. The translatable, where I essentially translate. 

02:40
Andrew Olson
Next week, we have Bob the builder on. 

02:43
Rich Rudowske
We’re going to insert a part about Bob the builder right there. Oi, mate. All right, then we clap. All right. And cut. Yeah, so, Caleb, if I’m ever unable to make it, I can be confident that he’ll stand in nicely for. 

03:11
Emily Wilson
I was going to say we’ve had a couple of episodes where we had tech support provided by. 

03:16
Rich Rudowske
That’s true. 

03:17
Emily Wilson
I mean, we’re getting know we’re pretty much to a point of automation, but every once in a while we get a bob the builder moment. 

03:25
Rich Rudowske
That’s right. 

03:26
Emily Wilson
And pretty fabulous. 

03:28
Andrew Olson
Yeah. The next one we have here is called what a privilege. And this is one of my favorites for all time. 

03:33
Rich Rudowske
Here we go. What a privilege to hear from a guy who has dedicated his life to biblical scholarship. Cut. It was a bit much, too. People are going to be like, Richardowski never talks like that. 

03:54
Emily Wilson
What privilege. 

03:57
Rich Rudowske
I said, what a privilege so many times in the episode, too. So we’re not going to do that either. 

04:04
Andrew Olson
Oh, man, I love that. 

04:05
Rich Rudowske
Most of the outtakes are me saying dumb stuff and Emily going. 

04:14
Emily Wilson
I have to have some measure of composure. 

04:18
Rich Rudowske
I’m trying to be professional here. 

04:20
Andrew Olson
All right, well, you’re talking about all this good stuff and then what a privilege. All right, well, the next one we have coming up here, I feel like a dj. Kind of like spooling up the next track at the wedding. At the wedding dance or something. But here we go. It’s. Are you registered for this class? 

04:37
Rich Rudowske
This is the intro outro for Rob Hilbert, episode 28. If that’s not where you intend to be, you should leave now. Are you registered for this class, ma’am? Okay, let’s go. Where does this stuff even go? 

04:59
Emily Wilson
The problem is this. So you lead up with that, and then I have to move forward and then try to respond because Andrew, you can do all kinds of magic, but then he gets me in laughing fits, and then I’m trying to remember what I was going to say. 

05:17
Andrew Olson
Yeah. How do you even get out of the. 

05:19
Emily Wilson
Can’t. I can’t. There have been so many times, I’m just like, okay, we’re on take five. 

05:24
Rich Rudowske
Yeah, we actually should give a shout out to Sarah Essela, give her a shout out because she and I have a weekly meeting and it directly follows podcast recording time. And then that means she’s always shortchanged because we’re in here trying to clean up this messes. 

05:38
Andrew Olson
See, the part I want to understand is what do you tell the guest when they’re observing all this? Hey, we’re not like this all the. 

05:44
Rich Rudowske
Time, but it kind of is. Yeah. The funny stuff happens when the guests aren’t here, so we record those intro outro separate. Although we had some good guest content here once in a while too, but we didn’t consult with all of them, so we’ll probably pull them in another time. My favorite is Tilajon saying I am the president of the United States of America. Anyways, nice. What’s up? 

06:11
Andrew Olson
The next one we have is called Relax. Here we go. 

06:18
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. With this podcast, our editor is actually quite phenomenal. So say what? Relax, relax. We can just relax. 

06:37
Andrew Olson
There you go. 

06:38
Emily Wilson
We’re all just busting a groove in here. 

06:42
Rich Rudowske
I’m relaxed personally. 

06:46
Andrew Olson
Those are the little tidbits that make my life so happy as an editor. I just listen to you guys. 

06:51
Rich Rudowske
When we say phenomenal editor, then that means he’s going to drop the beat. 

06:57
Andrew Olson
You guys are great hosts. It’s fun to edit this stuff. All right, next one coming up is called one liner. 

07:03
Rich Rudowske
I don’t know how this tech works. I just sit behind the microphone and look pretty face. You’re welcome. Thank you very much. The one liner. One liner. If the LBT insiders who should be listening to this podcast, one liner means a whole different. 

07:24
Emily Wilson
Hello, everyone. Welcome to marketing made simple. 

07:28
Rich Rudowske
Marketing made simple. The one liner. 

07:37
Emily Wilson
Got war stories here. 

07:39
Rich Rudowske
It’s a problem solution result, right? Oh, yeah, that’s a one liner. 

07:45
Emily Wilson
Keep it simple. 

07:46
Rich Rudowske
So that one is like the one liner structure for that one was, I don’t know how to work this tech. That’s a problem. I just sit here behind the mic. It’s a solution and result and look pretty. 

07:58
Emily Wilson
Is the look pretty part the result or is that. 

08:02
Rich Rudowske
I don’t know. You guys are more in the marketing. I’m just thinking. 

08:07
Emily Wilson
The result would be, well, okay, we don’t have actually a solution. Right. The result is actually the sitting behind. 

08:14
Rich Rudowske
The mic and look pretty. Yeah. 

08:15
Emily Wilson
And so the implicit that’s actually not included. Your full one liner is not present. You actually still need a solution, which is Andrew, I don’t know, looking pretty. 

08:29
Andrew Olson
Then I would slot right in. That would be perfect. 

08:32
Rich Rudowske
Yeah, that’s right. So if we go around the table, I’m problem. 

08:41
Andrew Olson
Let’s go that way. 

08:42
Rich Rudowske
All right. 

08:44
Andrew Olson
Next one coming up is the real Emily Wilson. And you’re going to get a little slice of that. Here we go. 

08:50
Emily Wilson
This is real Emily coming out. 

08:52
Rich Rudowske
And the recording is on. 

08:53
Emily Wilson
Yep. 

08:53
Rich Rudowske
So yes, real Emily. 

08:55
Emily Wilson
The very real Emily for the spiritual warfare. 

08:58
Rich Rudowske
Be a spinoff podcast. Real Emily. 

09:01
Emily Wilson
The real life of Emily. 

09:03
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. Will the real Emily Wilson please stand up? 

09:07
Emily Wilson
Always. 

09:08
Rich Rudowske
There is a lot of Emily Wilson’s. 

09:10
Emily Wilson
There’s a lot. 

09:11
Rich Rudowske
There’s a lot even of Emily Marie Wilson. 

09:13
Emily Wilson
There are. 

09:14
Rich Rudowske
It is overwhelming on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. 

09:19
Emily Wilson
Follow us. 

09:21
Rich Rudowske
Follow all of them and compare and contrast. Okay, here we’ve got the wrong thing up here. I’m actually not sure how people listening are going to differentiate between the clips and talking after the clips. We might have to throw a little drumbeat in there or something. 

09:39
Andrew Olson
So all we have to do is little grown. 

09:41
Rich Rudowske
We put out Emily’s Social Security number, then they’ll have all the information they. 

09:45
Andrew Olson
Need from Emily gained 300 followers as. 

09:49
Rich Rudowske
A result of this podcast. 

09:51
Emily Wilson
Then they started comparing and contrasting Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

09:59
Andrew Olson
Now, I’m curious, though, what are the other Emily Wilsons up to anyway? These days it’s not really enough. 

10:05
Emily Wilson
One of them tried to connect with me because we had the exact same name, and I was like, that’s probably not reason enough. 

10:11
Andrew Olson
Probably trying to cash a check or something maybe, right? 

10:14
Emily Wilson
Oh, could you sign your name? I really want to see if our. 

10:17
Andrew Olson
Signatures sounds like a name, you know, wakeboarding or a ski do in the ocean somewhere or something. 

10:25
Rich Rudowske
Like Emily Wilson cosmetics and activewear. 

10:30
Andrew Olson
Could we go like cheeseburgers? The Emily Wilsonator. All right, well, next up here we have, you don’t have to be lutheran, but. 

10:48
Rich Rudowske
While we have a break in the action, we have a word from our sponsor at lutheran bible translators, who reminds you don’t have to be lutheran to translate the Bible, but it doesn’t hurt. Lbt.org slash go to find out more. That was poor marketing. Lbt.org slash go to find out how you can put God’s word in their hands. 

11:07
Emily Wilson
There you go. 

11:08
Rich Rudowske
Is that better? There we go. See? 

11:11
Andrew Olson
Nice. 

11:12
Rich Rudowske
Marketing is all part of the deal. 

11:14
Emily Wilson
We even have a commercial break on this one. Yeah, fabulous. We should have them more often. 

11:19
Rich Rudowske
It’s possible. 

11:21
Andrew Olson
Find some sponsors first. 

11:22
Rich Rudowske
Right. Well, Lutheran Bible translators has generously sponsored this podcast. Very generously. They may not feel they’re getting their money’s worth today. I’m not really sure. But you don’t have to be Lutheran to translate the Bible. 

11:37
Andrew Olson
But it doesn’t hurt. 

11:38
Rich Rudowske
It doesn’t hurt. 

11:40
Andrew Olson
Yeah, there’s some perks there. 

11:41
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. 

11:42
Andrew Olson
Next, we have another blooper from Caleb and Sarah. This one’s called the Monster Truck podcast. I think they’re living in an alternate reality here where we are actually a monster truck podcast. That’ll be pretty nice. 

11:51
Rich Rudowske
You can do so many things and. 

11:53
Emily Wilson
Then monster truck sound bites to share with people. 

11:57
Andrew Olson
Yeah, it’s a lot of cool stuff. Welcome. 

12:03
Rich Rudowske
We just have such a blast here talking about monster trucks, and they got big wheels. 

12:08
Andrew Olson
Big wheels. 

12:09
Emily Wilson
That’s the best thing about them is the size of the wheels. You stand next to them, you look small. What’s better than that? 

12:16
Rich Rudowske
What’s better than that? 

12:17
Emily Wilson
What could possibly better? 

12:18
Rich Rudowske
Big wheels, mud and looking small. 

12:21
Emily Wilson
Yeah. Excellent. 

12:25
Andrew Olson
I’m sold for tires and small people. 

12:28
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. 

12:29
Emily Wilson
Okay. Just as a frame of reference, Sarah looks small regardless. 

12:36
Andrew Olson
Monster truck Monday at the metro Dome. 

12:39
Rich Rudowske
Tickets for $20. They got big wheels. 

12:43
Emily Wilson
What? Morgan, you want. 

12:46
Andrew Olson
Big wheels? 

12:49
Rich Rudowske
Oh, my goodness. Monster truck podcast spinning off of essentially translation. 

12:53
Andrew Olson
A lot of spin offs coming up here. Yeah, it’s going to be a busy year. 

12:56
Rich Rudowske
I know. His studio is going to be rocking it. 

13:00
Andrew Olson
Brands coming down the pipe. All right, number twelve coming up. I’m loving it. 

13:06
Rich Rudowske
So listen to all this stuff. Andrew, if we haven’t told you lately, we love you. 

13:12
Emily Wilson
I’m loving it. Is this a place to eat? Since I don’t cook, I’ll just rock to the beat. I’m loving it. 

13:22
Rich Rudowske
Andrew has a lot of outtakes that he’ll be able to put together. One of these days. We’ll be able to do a bonus. 

13:28
Emily Wilson
I love it. 

13:29
Rich Rudowske
Subscribers behind the paywall can get the outtakes. The paywall. I forgot about that idea. I’m over here doing this for no extra money. 

13:40
Emily Wilson
It’s all for free. We love you that much, guys. 

13:43
Rich Rudowske
We do. Yep. We don’t get paid extra to do this. So if you feel like it’s not worth the joy. Right. It’s all in the joy down in our hearts. Where down? 

13:56
Andrew Olson
Well, McDonald’s paid no extra for that product placement right there. 

14:00
Rich Rudowske
Speaking of McDonald’s. 

14:01
Andrew Olson
Yeah, they’re coming up again in another outtake here, number 13. All about McDonald’s. 

14:08
Rich Rudowske
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this conversation with ishnivite and Tiffany Smith. 

14:12
Emily Wilson
Unless you’re in the car, if you’re. 

14:14
Rich Rudowske
In the car, stay alert. Do not close your eyes while driving and listening to essentially translatable. 

14:23
Emily Wilson
Don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to be passive. Just be assertive. 

14:27
Rich Rudowske
Assertive and defensive in the positive sense of the word. Really the voice of, hey, curb. 

14:38
Emily Wilson
Look both ways, right. 

14:39
Rich Rudowske
If you’re coming out of that McDonald’s, just look both ways. 

14:42
Emily Wilson
Look both ways. 

14:44
Rich Rudowske
Take it slow. Yeah. You already got your food, so it’s not like you’re rushing. 

14:52
Emily Wilson
Way. Maybe they were on the way to church, too. And maybe they were like, you know what I really need? What do they even serve there? 

15:00
Rich Rudowske
They had, like, one of them hash browns. That’s the breakfast go to for me would be that hash brown. And maybe they hadn’t had a sip of the coffee yet. And maybe they were, like, running a little late for church. They were like, I’m gonna pray for you. As they. 

15:12
Emily Wilson
So you probably got like, yeah, I’m gonna pray for you. 

15:16
Rich Rudowske
Okay. Yeah. For all the listeners, Emily had just been in a small car accident on her way to church right before we started that. 

15:27
Emily Wilson
All right. Another detail here. 

15:29
Rich Rudowske
Sure. 

15:29
Emily Wilson
It was rich was guest preaching. 

15:33
Rich Rudowske
Sure. 

15:33
Emily Wilson
And I was on my way to church. 

15:35
Rich Rudowske
Right. 

15:36
Emily Wilson
So I was on my way in support. And, yeah, the snow on the road here in Missouri makes January 2. Oh, yeah. It was because I was like, wow, way to start off the new year. 

15:51
Rich Rudowske
Well, they already had their food people coming out of. 

15:55
Emily Wilson
And it was quite the experience. But I was already laughing at was. That was good. 

16:03
Rich Rudowske
Near days later, the initial trauma had passed. 

16:08
Andrew Olson
What do you even do with the food at that? Know, you get the McDonald’s, hit somebody with the car, and it’s like, oh, well, they didn’t. 

16:14
Emily Wilson
I was going to say I made sure not to hit them. I wasn’t going to McDonald’s. They had just left. They’d gotten their food, left the scene. 

16:25
Rich Rudowske
I’m loving it. I don’t think they knew Emily existed. 

16:30
Emily Wilson
How could they not? There’s so many of us. 

16:33
Rich Rudowske
That’s true. Maybe they were comparing and contrasting while driving, which we don’t. 

16:38
Emily Wilson
No, no. 

16:39
Rich Rudowske
Don’t compare and contrast while driving while. 

16:41
Emily Wilson
Having your hash brown and coffee. 

16:42
Rich Rudowske
Right. 

16:43
Emily Wilson
That is a lot of multitasking. 

16:44
Rich Rudowske
That’s a lot going on right there. If you just like, yeah, there’s a lot going on. 

16:50
Emily Wilson
But at least they prayed for me. That was your best construction. 

16:54
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. And I appreciate that. That’s kind of how we work. 

16:58
Emily Wilson
Spamming you. All right. 

17:02
Rich Rudowske
Okay. It’s so magical is coming up next. Oh, yes. Go ahead. It’s so magical. Sort of speaks for itself. If not, we’ll speak for itself to reach more people with the gospel we need to be sending. 

17:15
Emily Wilson
Right. Did you want to do that again? Sorry. 

17:23
Rich Rudowske
Soft flow. 

17:27
Emily Wilson
It’s always like, oh, it’s so magical. Mission. 

17:35
Rich Rudowske
That’S just more content for the eventual outtake episode. See, spoken prophetically. 

17:40
Andrew Olson
It was prophetic. 

17:41
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. In case it’s not clear to the listener. The worst thing is when you’re talking, and then your computer decides to make sounds. And so right at the moment, we’re talking about get involved in God’s mission. 

17:53
Emily Wilson
Oh, it’s important. And it’s just like, I’m trying, like, are we going to still go for it? Are we just going to go right over it? 

18:04
Rich Rudowske
Just for my Aunt Cindy? It’ll be okay. If you’re listening, Aunt Cindy, that was for you. All right, April fools, if you signed on listening for or looking for mythiological content, what we just played was it. 

18:21
Emily Wilson
And this particular, we did talk about the 8th commandment very briefly. 

18:26
Rich Rudowske
True. Yes. 

18:28
Andrew Olson
There’s a little Bible content there. 

18:29
Emily Wilson
Yeah. And we’ve been talking about love. We love our listeners. We love the team. 

18:38
Andrew Olson
Good life advice, defensive driving. 

18:41
Emily Wilson
Solid. 

18:42
Rich Rudowske
No, there’s a lot of takeaways for the listeners. 

18:46
Andrew Olson
I don’t know how much you can trust on April fruels. Just saying, even if it was good. 

18:49
Rich Rudowske
Advice, when I still lived in Botswana, the president announced a bunch of cabinet changes on April 1. Oh, no, it was a newspaper. Nobody was sure if he was serious or not. 

19:01
Emily Wilson
I was going to say, it’s also national atheist day, April 1. Yeah, it is. 

19:06
Rich Rudowske
Okay. 

19:06
Emily Wilson
And I mean totally serious. Totally serious. 

19:10
Rich Rudowske
Okay, nice. What’s up next here? 

19:13
Andrew Olson
Next up, we got. Just insert that where it makes sense. 

19:16
Rich Rudowske
All right, here we go. Okay. No, so anyways, insert that wherever you would like, Andrew. And what makes sense? 

19:28
Andrew Olson
Well, that’s what made sense to me. I don’t know. Got to Rick roll your teammates every now and then. 

19:33
Rich Rudowske
Nothing like a Rick roll. 

19:35
Emily Wilson
It’s in your heads now for the rest of the day. 

19:39
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. You know that. You ever heard of the Rick Astley Paradox? 

19:44
Andrew Olson
No. 

19:45
Rich Rudowske
So, yeah, the thing is, if you went to Rick Astley and you wanted to borrow the movie up from him, he would never give you up, but in so doing, he would let you down. 

20:01
Emily Wilson
Anyways, we’ve got dad jokes. 

20:05
Rich Rudowske
Oh, that’s a good one. Oh, my goodness. Stay in school. 

20:12
Andrew Olson
Stay in school. That’s the next up. Stay in school. 

20:17
Rich Rudowske
And it is back to school time. Coming up around here. 

20:20
Emily Wilson
It’s true. 

20:21
Rich Rudowske
No, I don’t like that. Okay, coming up around here. 

20:25
Emily Wilson
Good. All up in your business. 

20:27
Rich Rudowske
All up in your business. Stay in school, kids. 

20:35
Emily Wilson
I don’t like that. Back to school. I don’t like that. 

20:41
Rich Rudowske
Back around full time around here? Apparently not in other places. I don’t know. 

20:47
Emily Wilson
Well, that’s true. 

20:48
Rich Rudowske
I mean, we are sitting in a high mean. Yeah, I think our listeners know that LBT’s international office is on the campus of a high school. And we have a saying around here that just because we’re at a high school. Did I say that? Just because we’re at a high school doesn’t mean we need to act like we’re in high school. So that’s LBT’s secondary tagline. 

21:06
Emily Wilson
I was going to say I haven’t heard it before, and this idea behaved accordingly. 

21:10
Rich Rudowske
Then there are people who need to hear that. You know who you are, but we’re. 

21:17
Emily Wilson
So glad you’re listening. 

21:18
Rich Rudowske
Right? Yes. 

21:20
Andrew Olson
Stay in school, kids. 

21:21
Rich Rudowske
Stay in school, kids. 

21:22
Andrew Olson
All right, next up, we got another personal favorite of mine. This is an electronic sound. 

21:29
Rich Rudowske
Oh, wow. 

21:32
Emily Wilson
That was an electronic sound. 

21:42
Rich Rudowske
There was some kind of feedback in the system on that one, but it’s priceless that you captured the. 

21:49
Emily Wilson
What’s going on here? 

21:51
Rich Rudowske
If anybody listening might think it, like, actually came through and shocked, tickle the old eardrums, did it. 

22:05
Emily Wilson
My reactions aren’t always what did. I don’t know. 

22:12
Rich Rudowske
That was an electronic sound. Emily knew things weren’t as she thought they were. Oh, my goodness. Speaking of that, the unofficial deep philosophies of LBT, all we can do is. 

22:29
Emily Wilson
Poke out, just put it in their hands and their ears and their eyes. 

22:33
Rich Rudowske
For deaf communities, if they’re holding the little player, it’s still in their hands. 

22:38
Emily Wilson
But what if they’re watching it on the big screen? 

22:44
Rich Rudowske
They still had to open a gate to get into the compound. 

22:49
Emily Wilson
You’re saying the gate to the compound is the word? 

22:53
Rich Rudowske
No, I’m saying that they use their hands. Okay. Every analogy breaks down at some point. Here is a script. Let’s see what it is. 

23:03
Emily Wilson
Glad yours is opening. Mine’s not. I’m just going to respond off of what you’re saying. 

23:08
Rich Rudowske
Now. People know exactly how we do things around. And from this outtake was born the world famous Emily McWilson. Who wants to put God’s word in your eye. Put it up in their eyes. Right in their eye. 

23:23
Andrew Olson
Their ears. Lastly. 

23:26
Rich Rudowske
Oh, my goodness. 

23:28
Emily Wilson
Made sense of my brain. 

23:30
Rich Rudowske
Yes. Put God’s word in their hands. That’s why we try to stick to the script for the marketing stuff. So, yeah, if anybody wants to put God’s word in their eye, it’s available. I mean, we’re not using it. Hey, my phone’s telling me it’s quitting time, so let’s wrap this up. Sounds good. 

23:52
Andrew Olson
All right, next up, we got our last outtake of the day. And this is what really happens at the end of every episode. 

24:00
Rich Rudowske
And now Mike Rhodewald is calling me, so we’ll cut that out. 

24:04
Emily Wilson
Do you want me to pause it? 

24:05
Rich Rudowske
Yeah, go ahead and pause it. 

24:08
Andrew Olson
Hey, Rich, it’s Mike Roadwald here, and I’m on who wants to be a millionaire? And the final question for a million dollars today is, what is the national bird of Botswana? Is it a, the african fish eagle, b, the hornbill, c, the maribou stork? Or D, the Corey busterd? I was hoping you might have a good answer for me here. Thank you so much, rich. 

24:37
Emily Wilson
So what was the right answer? 

24:38
Rich Rudowske
That was totally Mike Rotwell. That was right. That was an electronic sound. I think it’s the Corey busterd. Is that one of the choices I’ve never heard of? 

24:54
Andrew Olson
It certainly wasn’t me imitating Mike. 

24:56
Rich Rudowske
Not at totally Mike Rotterwald asking. And now he has a million dollars. 

25:02
Emily Wilson
Yeah. Oh, wow. 

25:03
Andrew Olson
That’s where we got our funding this year. 

25:04
Rich Rudowske
Right? 

25:05
Emily Wilson
I know. 

25:05
Rich Rudowske
I was wondering. 

25:06
Emily Wilson
Yeah, generosity. 

25:09
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. 

25:09
Emily Wilson
All made possible because you answered that call. 

25:12
Rich Rudowske
That’s right. When somebody calls, sometimes you got to answer. 

25:15
Emily Wilson
Sometimes. 

25:15
Rich Rudowske
Sometimes what? 

25:22
Andrew Olson
Answer the call. Put the bible in the eyes. 

25:25
Rich Rudowske
Right. 

25:26
Emily Wilson
It was like were both distracted by the vacuum, so we’re like, yeah, sometimes you got to answer the call. 

25:37
Rich Rudowske
Okay, well, this has been fun. 

25:39
Emily Wilson
It’s been a lot of fun. 

25:40
Rich Rudowske
Yeah. 

25:41
Emily Wilson
April 1, guys, we appreciate you. 

25:44
Rich Rudowske
Seriously, one of the best things I’ve heard, thinking of the christian faith, and this is serious, is that we have the joy of Christ and just to have some fun and enjoy ourselves. And one of the best witnesses, seriously, of being a Christian is just being able to have fun and enjoy ourselves just from the joy of life and not other things. So it’s been a lot of fun. That’s one of the great joys of being on the podcast, is just all the guests that we have and the content we get to share, but just the fun in producing, too. There’s a good amount of work that goes into all this, but you, as. 

26:16
Andrew Olson
The listener, make it all worthwhile. Honestly, when we get to see the responses we’ve gotten and just knowing that there’s people out there taking in these stories from around the world, that really brings me joy. And it’s fun to be part of this movement of Bible translation and getting all these people connected to that movement and seeing all the ways they fit into what God is doing around the world. It’s really great. 

26:39
Rich Rudowske
And what a privilege to have Andrew in the studio today. Oh, my goodness. On the silent mic, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

26:50
Emily Wilson
It’ll be there. 

26:51
Rich Rudowske
He’s there. Compare and contrast. There’s got to be a few. Andrew. Old there is more than a yeah, there you go. 

26:59
Emily Wilson
But the one and only for essentially translatable. 

27:01
Rich Rudowske
That’s right. So it’s been great being with you. I’m rich Friedeski with my generically named. 

27:05
Emily Wilson
Co hosts, Emily Wilson. 

27:09
Andrew Olson
And I’m Andrew Olson. 

27:10
Rich Rudowske
See, again, they could be anybody. 

27:14
Andrew Olson
The record button was not pushed before we began. 

27:17
Rich Rudowske
Oh, sorry. That’s bad.
