real quickly before we look back at where we've been since 2018 so most of you already know producer Bri uh she has been on the show several times and you guys always give me a such great feedback about my episodes with Bri and you love her commentary and her soothing voice and you guys may not know this but she has been in her past a musical theater extraordinaire which has contributed to her ability to perform well on this show it contributes to her camera and Stage presence Chief Rel bro AKA my husband always says that he loves when Bri comes on the show my dad also says that and they can you know my dad he can be a tough critic and so he says that he loves the segments with Bri and Bri has been you don't have to keep Bri up there for this because she might feel awkward but so Bri came on the show let's see wait Bri was it 2022 everything has been so blurry it was 2022 and it was right okay yes I I was trying to remember when it was like what years have I had babies over the past few years that's why everything is blurry but so Bri came on the scene 2022 and uh my previous producer told me that she was leaving and she was giving up like 3 weeks and I was like oh my goodness it's so difficult to find the right person who has the right personality the right experience the right attitude is able to be here locally who can be trained quickly I didn't even really know what I was looking for in a producer because I really hadn't had I I hadn't had much experience with a producer when I started this show in 2018 it was just me I didn't have a producer I didn't have a producer really at all until gosh I guess it was 2021 maybe like the fall of 2021 before that I just had editors so I had people who helped me with the technical side of things although when I first started this and it was just audio I was doing I was doing a lot of that too um but I didn't have a producer of the show for the first several years and so I really didn't know what exactly I needed and we were getting all of these resumés when we posted and I just didn't find the right person but then my assistant at the time found Bree's email in my inbox and she had emailed reached out about something else I had put like another job IID posted do you remember what what I reached out about yeah I actually didn't even see that you posted something I just emailed saying any chance you're looking for a producer okay okay yes and I guess I hadn't seen the email um because yeah my assistant sent it to me and was like Hey you know I know y'all are hiring and I looked at it and I was like okay okay she's in the area she has some relevant experience I think that she's worth interviewing and then as soon as we interviewed her I was like yeah that's it I just totally I just knew because she exuded competence and confidence and the amazing amazing thing is is that she didn't really she didn't have producing experience at least not for something like this at least not for a podcast like this was pretty new to her she had experience that helped her but it's not like she had been working at the daily wire something like that that's kind of typically what happens in this world she was pretty fresh and yet as soon as she came in I was like oh this is what it's supposed to be like oh this is what it's like to have some someone who took charge and immediately understood what was going on and became a leader of our team and she has just brought so much order so much peace of mind to the show and has helped so much in giving me the margin to be more creative and strategic because what y'all don't know is there's so much that goes into every single episode there's so much that goes on behind the scenes there's so much organization so much preparation so much management so many details that have to be put in order for every episode some episodes are easier than the other than the others before the episode during the episode and after the episode there's so much work that has to be done not to mention all the extra stuff like organizing a giveaway corresponding with all of the sponsors talking to the ad team the people who manage the sponsors like there's just so much that goes into it and Bri makes sure that everything that is going on behind the scenes runs smoothly and everyone is doing what they need to do and she's a very good leader of people and she has a lot of different talents and skills that come together to be a really good producer for relatable so I'm just thankful I feel like the Lord brought her exactly at the right time when I was so stressed that summer I was like we're not going to find a producer in 3 weeks that's there's just no way that's going to happen and it was like just in the nick of time and so anyway very thankful for Bri and she probably doesn't want to hear any of this and probably feels awkward about it but it is all true and so none of this this wouldn't be the same I'll say that it wouldn't be the same without Brie so thankful for producer Brie and then we've also got Lily I don't she might not want to be on camera which is fine but you can be on camera if you want to yes you can wave okay so this is Lily and she's a newer addition uh to our show very thankful for Lily and her research capability and how she has helped Bri uh so much in the past few weeks Bri just always tells me how great it's been to have someone else who um can handle all of the craziness and the stress and the chaos of preparing for the show so she's made things a lot easier and a lot smoother around here and then we have Vince who is our he the audio doesn't work back there so he's just going to have to wave Vince is our awesome editor so editing this show is not for the faint of heart because there's especially on YouTube there are just a lot of elements and there are a lot of different things that you have to do to make sure that everything looks nice that everything sounds good and so he spends uh a lot of time every day doing that and he is also a fairly recent addition to our show and Vince is just like an extremely joyful person his attitude and his energy his ability to take and apply feedback is just you want someone like Vince um on your team because he just makes things easier and then we have George back there I don't know if you can see George but George is the one who is running the cameras there's George back there he's running the cameras making sure that everything looks good and all uh the shots look good and I specifically requested that George work on our show because he worked on our show a couple times times when he was kind of substituting and I was like oh I really like him again just an amazing attitude extremely confident good at his job and it makes a that makes a big difference when someone is just confident they know what they're doing and again they just have such a good attitude and I loved his energy and so I'm so glad that we have George working on our show and then we've got some people who are working remotely we've got Debbie she is our researcher and oh my my goodness I know that Bri could also speak to just like what a gift Debbie has been to this show and how she also took a lot off of Breeze plate when she came on because I mean she just took the job of researcher and ran with it she is so thorough and there's stuff that she has researched that sadly you guys will never even hear or know about because with every subject she is so detailed and she is so thorough because I've said from the beginning want more not less and she takes that very seriously and so there's even work and dedication that she's put into every episode that you guys won't see but is still valuable and very appreciated by me and so I get a lot of compliments from you guys that you know the show is well researched well that's Debbie Debbie is awesome um and then we also have Kyra Kyra has helped us with our social media she has helped us over the past several months take our social media to the next l she has an amazing attitude as you can tell that's something that I really care about I love people's enthusiasm and a great attitude she has an awesome attitude and she's been super creative in helping us ensure that uh we are doing all of the most visually aesthetic and most creative things on our Instagram account in particular so I'm thankful for that and then we've got a lot of other people who are working behind the scenes we've got people who have worked um uh for relatable over the years and I don't have time to go through every single person but there are so many contributors to the success of this show at Blaze TV and even outside Blaze TV and um I'm just very grateful for that this is not a onew woman show it started out that way um but it's not a onew woman show we have so many people working together to make this happen four times a week for y'all and so just wherever you are out there give it up for the relatable Team all right I just wanted to honor them because again this just wouldn't happen without them now we are going to take a look back just a little bit over the years of um of relatable I'll go ahead and tell you about our next sponsor before we get into that that's Patriot mobile love Patriot mobile I actually just uh saw the owners of patriot mobile at a conference where I was speaking a couple weeks ago I mean they are the real deal those people they Champion our values they love America and that's why they have America's only Christian conservative wireless provider they offer Dependable Nationwide coverage giving you the ability to access all three major networks which means you get the same great coverage but you're not funding left-wing initiatives so when you switch to Patriot mobile you're supporting things like free speech religious freedom the sanctity of Life the Second Amendment our military veterans First Responders because that's where they are putting their support so when we uh use Patriot mobile we are then sending the message that our values matter and we put our dollars behind our values they have 100% us-based customer service team that makes switching really easy plus you can get free activation when you switch when you use code alley so go to Patriot mobile.com alley use code alley for that free activation that's patriotmobile tocom alley [Music] okay y'all 1,000 episodes 1,000 episodes do we have a picture of my like one of my first episodes we can put one up um the first episode you put on YouTube yes was episode 84 yes um not episode one unfortunately so we don't have a picture of that no because and the reason is okay so I'll I'll give some Insider information on that but if you're watching on YouTube we can put up like what the first episode looked like that was on YouTube um so when so I started at the blaze in 2017 and I can like give the story of that maybe in a little bit after we uh show our Montage of some shows over the years but then um I left the blaze in 200 at the end of 2017 so it wasn't even very long and I was poached by crtv conservative review TV and I went there that's actually where I started the podcast that's first if it it was just like I forget what it was called like Ali on TV or just Aly or something like that it was a cute little brand so this was the beginning of 2018 and it was just for crtv subscribers there was nothing on YouTube didn't have a YouTube presence um again as I'll get into I had started kind of doing a lot of this in 2015 and so in 20 18 I started this uh I I started just like behind the scenes stuff and it was where I I had for example like that's where I started most misused um I believe I was going through uh often used Bible verses like Jeremiah 291 and I was breaking down what they actually mean versus the popular and wrong usage of them I was going through subjects like the error in the Prosperity Gospel but then I would also do like little shorts on um like immigration and things like that and so it was all supposed to be from a millennial perspective because everyone wanted to know if there were any sayane Millennials back then like we were the subject of every like Fox News segment I'm like oh Millennials are awful liberal still living with their parents and so everyone to see a conservative Millennial was kind of shocked back then and there were a few of us of course doing that but then crtv merged with Blaze TV was that when was that was that the end of 2018 or no it was the blaze so crtv merged with the blaze I think it was the end of 2018 if I remember correctly and so then it turned into Blaze TV and then um yeah and and then this continued I think I need to back up a little bit because okay relatable started at like in March of 2018 so it started on crtv just behind the scenes just for subscribers then I asked I was like can I please put this on YouTube and can it turn into a podcast and so I did that's how he came up with a relatable and I still remember like trying to go through names I made like the podcast art we can put that up the original podcast art too I made that like I think on camva myself and um I I don't think anyone else helped me come up with the name I think I went through like relevant or I I just yeah and then I landed on relatable because it's relatable at least to likeminded people like me and over the years it's just been affirmed and confirmed that was in fact the right name because for those of us who have these values and live in this sphere it has thank the Lord helped you feel like you are not alone and someone is thinking through things the same way that you are or is coming to the same conclusions that you are has the same fears and concerns and hopes as you do uh so that was uh March 2018 and then it was started as once a week and then it moved to two times a week and then it moved to three and then of course eventually it moved to four which is what it is now so yeah merged crtv The Blaze merged end of 2018 to become Blaze TV and here I am I think I am the only host I think I'm the only host that has been in like all three that has been here the longest so see that that it was the Blaze and then it was crtv and then it was Blaze TV I think I'm the only one that has been through all three of those iterations so I'm basically an OG basically an OG for all of these things um all right I'll tell you the story of how this all started in a second but first I want to play this Montage that my team put together of just some podcast moments uh since 2018 here it is top one hey guys welcome to relatable happy Monday happy Tuesday happy Wednesday happy Thursday you raise a respectful Ruckus for the things that matter and you share the Arrows with other people who are voicing an unpopular opinion his eternal Plan of Redemption is always going off without a hitch politics matter because policy matters because people matter kids are always the unconsenting subjects of progressive social experiments my call to share the gospel to raise my kids to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God does not change I learn that God's going to judge me by his standard of goodness and not the world's standard of goodness I'm on fire for Jesus like I I I don't plan on this dimming out like it took me so many years to um realize that God was a good and loving heavenly father not waiting to punish me at every turn for some sin maybe I forgot to confess the Jesus the gospels never demonstrated truth in one place and love in another it was always love and truth but it was the red words of Jesus in the New Testament that really hit me that really started my personal relationship with Jesus the real question in life is what are you going to do when this life ends if I ever have a daughter I want her to have the opportunity to win a world title without competing against males parents feel that they can't send their kid to school because they're worried about the kids coming back with having an agenda shoved down their throat I don't think any other the presidents ever gone through anything like this where it was hoaxes and they impeached me twice for no reason this is this is a theory okay I'm just going to say this dinosaurs never existed some of this has been constructed by a bunch of nerds who were like oh Jurassic Park that would be so cool man I started this interview as a man but will I finish it as a man the wing Doria is everyone in this room is laughing okay this is so funny to me it's might not be funny to you that's all we got for this week we will be back here on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday we will be back here on Friday and I'll see you then okay what I love to think about most I think when it comes to relatable is the guest that we've had on I mean I've I've had some of the most amazing guests and not just the ones that we played not even like the big names that you know like Kat Von D Candace Cameron beray we've had Kurt Cameron on we have had Al Mohler on John MacArthur on uh Rhonda santis on I I do think that my the one that I was nervous about the only one that I was nervous about and the one that still kind of blows my mind that it happened is Donald Trump um that was like I mean you know I have my criticisms of Donald Trump and the things that he says but that really was so cool and such an honor to have him on that was actually before Brie's time um but I was very grateful I was very grateful that he took the time to come on my show he didn't have to he had much bigger and better things to do but he did come on my show and so I'm very thankful of that for that that's a very like high moment for me Big Moment highlight of uh of relatable uh let's see I've got some questions that my team has asked me to answer well let me go through some of the most watched you guys might think that this is interesting um episode 902 Kat Von D most watched episode by far like by a whole lot and I'm so thankful to cat for coming on the show that's like a cool story of how that happened we didn't even ask her to come on she asked if she could come on the show which was also a really big moment to me it just made me grateful for the platform that we've built and that she was able to trust me um to have her on and to share her testimony and then we've got uh Ginger Dugger voo we did her first like podcast on Air interview where she shared her story and so that was the second most popular and then we've got Ross Johnston who doesn't have like the same prominent platform as Ginger and cat but has such an amazing story he was donor conceived raised by lesbians and then he became a Christian and he got to know his true father uh through Christ and then most listen to Bri and I were just talking about how like random this is to me at least um episode 838 Andrew Tate Margot Robbie and the danger of the red pill and Bri and Debbie had been up like all night uh putting together research for that episode and we didn't even get to everything that we were going to I was out of town so I was doing it remotely I just remember being like very stressed about that episode and not feeling like I delivered the information that well and then somehow it is like our our most popular episode at least on the listening side and then president Donald Trump still comes in second and then interestingly an episode about Kyle writtenhouse with schaer is number three and then number four Kat Von D most listened to um yep that's number four and then I think number five I don't have it on here I think it's Ginger Dugger as well very first episode on YouTube was episode 84 the privilege of ignorance I don't remember what I was talking about it's very painful for me to go back and listen to or watch those First episodes I don't have a hard time listening to my voice now because I'm so used to it but going back and listening to those is really tough for me because I just had like a different Cadence a different voice I'd like to think that I have grown and matured as a host and so it's better now than it used to be and I was writing out back then I was writing out all of my episodes like the entire script for btim and I was reading them because I just was so afraid to say something wrong I didn't want to do anything extemporaneously and that was before I had kids and so I guess I had time to do that to sit down it literally took me like five hours to write out every episode and I was doing it and I was reading it and I was putting together and I was doing my like audio and everything on my own and so if I messed up I would like stop was literally garage banned on my computer and I was doing all of that um on my own so we've come a long way that was March 19th it says March 19th 2024 I don't think that was correct I think it's 2018 was it 2018 yeah no No it started in 20 yeah it's 2019 2019 that it started on YouTube okay guys I had to really ask for the show to like to go on YouTube and not just be uh behind the pay wall and I'm glad that worked out it's such a different landscape back then and then we've got an in memorium ripip to episode 630 on YouTube for getting us a strike we have a strike on YouTube because of the episode with Julie Kelly titled January 6th what they're not telling us so that is the one strike that we have what does that tell you I don't know something to think about something to think about um all right I guess I should before we get into the voicemails and the would you rathers which are going to be super fun I guess I can just give like a brief summary of how this all started um okay so back in 20 let's see how far do I go back I could go back to birth in some ways but I'll go back to 2015 so I had just gotten married it was a year after I graduated from college my husband and I lived in Athens Georgia that's where we met in 2014 that's where we got married in 2015 and I was working a full-time job in PR and social media it was a great first job out of college and I met some of my lifelong friends there and one of those friends is named Mary Ashley we still send each other podcast long voice messages uh every week and um as was working at this PR and social media firm in in Athens I just had this desire to do something else I had always loved public speaking I had always loved communicating really that's like the only thing that I am um good at is writing and speaking and talking and communicating explaining things and that has been my entire life both my mom and grandmother were teachers and so from a very early age like toddlers they were toddler age they were teaching me phonics and how to read and so all of that stuff came naturally to me and I also loved it and when I was graduating from college I delivered the commencement speech not because I was valid dictorian but because we all got to like submit a speech and then Anon like anonymously and then a group of teachers like picked the final speeches and then we got to perform our speeches in front of like a portion of the student body and then they voted on who won and who was going to deliver the speech and the other people who were the finalists for delivering the speech they had way better grades than me they were way more involved than I was but um for whatever reason I was selected and so I got to deliver the commencement speech at our college graduation and I just remember there was this moment it almost felt like an outof Body Experience where I was looking out into the crowd and I just had this it was almost a physical feeling in my heart that I want to do this this is what I want to do this is what I want to do for the rest of my life I've never felt this energized I've never felt this shirt I've never felt this just like fire in me that yes this right here is what I want to do and um so I didn't know what that was going to look like and so I took the job uh n PR but then 2015 rolls around it's that crazy election between uh Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton that starting up but still the primary season and I lived in this fairly conservative what was kind of seen as conservative at least back then it's not now um college town and I realized that all of these young women around me these college students they didn't know what was going on they didn't really care and what really concerned me because I was leading this precious Bible study at the time still keep in touch with a lot of these women I almost said girls and uh uh one of the one of the girls in the Bible study so she was a freshman I was one year out of college she's this sweet Christian girl so smart she tells me that she loves Bernie Sanders and I'm like I'm sorry what and so we start like going through the issues and I'm like wait wait wait this is a problem this is and by the way she is extremely conservative now but she uh that kind of like inspired me okay I need to be talking to young women about these issues they're not thinking through it in the way that I think that they should it's Christians and so I actually started speaking um at sorority chapter meetings I would reach out to sororities and say can I come give a presentation at your chapter meeting and some said yes some said no and I did that a few times and it was really kind of a nonpartisan presentation just like here are the issues here's why you should vote it wasn't necessarily from a Christian conservative perspective yet because I knew that they probably wouldn't let me give my presentation if that was the case but as I was doing this like Chief Rel bro my husband was like in the back like videoing with my phone and it was just like a really fun hobby that gave me so much energy um and I so I kept doing that and I kept looking for opportunities to speak I started a Blog called the conservative Millennial it was really more of like a Facebook page where I was trying to give commentary on things I started making videos and back in that day there wasn't really a lot of censorship like you could post a video and if people liked it it could go viral and so at first it wasn't like that at all it was only getting a few views on my videos but then eventually I started making videos that just took off um that were getting hundreds of thousands and millions of views whether it was about Trump or how Christians should Vote or about feminism the women's March abortion things like that again a lot of them weren't doing well at all but some of them were doing super well and that's that was the end by at this point it was like the end of 2016 and I was like yeah I really want to find a way to do this and then my husband got a job somewhere else that that moved us and I was like okay I really want to try to do this full time I know zero people in media so I didn't have any connections I don't have like any funders I didn't have anyone that discovered me and was like I'm going to make you famous and give you a brand I've never had a branding strategist I only recently for the first time like hired a publicist to help me navigate things I've never had a social media strategist I've never had a brand strategist I've never had like some kind of advanced marketing team or anything like that I was just saying what I feel and hoping that it works um but anyway back to the friend that I Mary Ashley I think I forgot about her for a second um that worked with me at the pr firm she was the only person I knew in media and do you know what she did she um read traffic and weather for the like a local radio station in Athens Georgia that was the media connection that I had and I was like do you know any one and she introduced me to her boss at this local radio station Pete and Pete I met with him and he really was like I don't know anyone in like large scale conservative media um the only conservative woman that I can think of in radio is um is Dana lash and at that point I was so fresh I didn't really know anything about conservative media so I didn't I didn't even know who that was at the time um but he was like but I do have a friend uh in Nashville his name is Steve and he's better connected to like National radio stations I'll connect you to Steve and we were I remember we were like moving out of our apartment about to move cities and I'm in like our Empty Apartment and I have this conversation with Steve who was still I think of him and I'm like you were like the sweetest just nicest person who had no reason to talk to me at all no reason to spend an hour of his time just encouraging me and helping me he was like you know I don't really know very many people specifically in conservative media but I do know Dana lash's executive producer and his name is Kane and I can introduce you to him and he can give you a tour maybe maybe of Blaze Studios um and so I was just excited about that to like take a tour that's going to be so exciting I can see uh you know some you know Glenn back and some of the people and conservative media and so he was kind enough Kane was kind enough to meet me and to give me a tour but then when I was there one of the producers that worked at the blades at the time was like Hey I've seen your videos do you want to come here and do like some Facebook lives with us or something or like do some social media videos and so I did and that's basically what started it and I continued to speak at different places and then Fox News asked me to come on and be a guest several times and then it just kind of grew and grew the videos that I was doing for the blaze really worked they performed really well and then so it just kind of grew and then like I said I went to crtv where I started my own thing where I started relatable merged became Blaze TV and here I am today so so many different points that I didn't even list but so much evidence at least to me of God's Providence and how he works all things together according to his Good Will and there are so many moments and connections and things and even feelings of failure and rejection when things didn't seem to be going well or didn't seem to be succeeding or I didn't get the opportunity that I wanted to get for example I filmed in 2018 I filmed a pilot um with CNN isn't that crazy yeah 2018 I filmed the pilot with CNN it was going to be like kind of like the view it was with Anna Navaro and Mary Katherine ham and then Dana Bash I forget who all it was it was was an interesting group but MK and I were the only conservatives and yeah we filmed the pilot and it didn't take off it it didn't get picked up and I was disappointed in that I thought it'd be so cool to like live in DC or to travel to DC and to like have this TV job this is going to be my really big break um but then it didn't work out and uh just a few weeks later I we got pregnant with my first and that was so obviously God's plan and it was so much better it was so much better and I was just telling someone this this morning this is something that I remember hearing from author Mary and Jordan a long time ago is that man's rejection is God's protection and uh when I look over the past few years of my life I see that that is absolutely true um and of course most of all in addition to the Lord I could not do any of this without my husband who is such a hard worker does so much that you guys don't know and don't see none of this would be possible without him and uh we work together so well he has been such a loving encouragement to me such a supporter of me has believed in me from the time that we were dating and um and I him also believed in him and supported anything that he wants to do and we just work together so well my parents huge fans and supporters of what I do it helps to just have so many amazing Godly prayerful prayerful people in my corner including my in-laws so many people and so many friends that just help make all of this happen so um anyway so there we go I hope that you draw some some lessons from that I know that our lives look different that you are on a different Journey than I am and the opportunities and spaces and sphere of influence that God has for you is going to be different but all of us are placed on these tiny tiny spots of Eternity these tiny specs of the universe and all of us are called to the same thing yes to do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God but just to maximize and beautify and to cultivate and to make better the people around us through the power of the Holy Spirit but also the spaces where we work and where we interact with others um all of us are called to do that all of us are called to use and Steward our talents to their fullest and I would say if there's been like a fear in my life it is that I would have like skills or talents or abilities or resources that are left unused like that is a very scary Prospect for me and I don't want that I want to use everything that God has given me as best as I can uh for his glory and to help other people all right I think that's enough of a trip down memory lane now let's get to some voicemails that you guys sent me that I'm so excited to listen to I have not listened to these voicemails by the way my team picked them out and so they will be a surprise to me that I'm very uh thankful for so many of you who took the time to send those we obviously can't play all of them because we got hundreds but um we will play a few and I will

podcast changed my life and I'm not even exaggerating um back in 2020 my friend from college turned me onto your podcast uh while we were suffering through the injustices of the covid response I was a biology major in college and all of those scientific theories that I was learning had become my religion um but your consistent and truthful commentary on everything that was going on in the world and is going on in the world um help me let go of that false hope and turn towards something so much greater um back this last September right around my 32nd birthday I gave my life to Christ um and I I have to say thank you because I feel like your podcast was the Catalyst for my salvation um uh I found a local church that focuses on Biblical teaching and I'm planning to get baptized at the end of the summer my goodness the biged ones that are going to make me cry that thank you so much thank you for taking the time to share that I really hope we get to meet one day and if we don't get to meet in this life I praise God that we will get to meet each other in heaven and I'm so thankful that the Holy Spirit used this podcast just as a part of your salvation testimony I mean praise God and I just give him all the glory and all the credit for that because we can help plant seeds but it's God who gives growth and it is his word that never returns void and we are just privileged to be used as vessels of his power so thank you so much praise the Lord praise the Lord for your testimony and may he use you to advance his kingdom and to multiply thank you so much all right let's do the relationship advice voicemail hi Ally this is Elise I've been listening since the days you first went on YouTube the house couch days I don't have a favorite episode but the most impactful episode um was definitely should a Christian day a non-Christian um which helped me open my eyes to see that I was in denial about the dead end relationship I was in with an agnostic um and I ended it and learned to trust God in that area of my life something you have said a few times now has just been so true for me um a lot can change in a year I connected with my future husband last June and we met in person in July got engaged on September 4th and got married on October 3rd um I moved two states away from where I'd lived for 32 years and in January I started a new job at the local Pregnancy Resource Center um which incidentally changed my mind on abortion in the case of rape it hasn't even um been a full year yet which is crazy but I'm so thankful for my um incredible amazing Godly husband praise God praise the Lord that is awesome thank you so much and I'm so grateful and excited for your marriage but also what you're doing at the Pregnancy Resource Center those women need your love and they need your testimony and um they need your grace and your wisdom and your help and so I'm so glad to hear that you are doing that I hope everyone follows that example everyone needs to connect to their local Pregnancy Center thank you so much uh for sharing that all right let's listen to voicemail 5 hey Ally congratulations on your 1000 episode uh my name is Amanda I live in Portland Oregon I've been listening to you since 2020 um long story short you have changed my mind on abortion and um helping mothers and their babies I used to lobby for Planned Parenthood with my mom who atheist back when I was a 20-year-old but now um thanks to you I volunteer at my local Pregnancy Resource Center so thank you so much for just how you've changed my life and um how you stand on biblical truth I just appreciate you so much and look forward to all your episodes so congratulations on number 1000 okay bye uh I'm really trying not to like sob and ruin the episode I'm just so thankful to the Lord and I hope that this is encouraging to all of you because it just goes to show like we always hear people's hearts and Minds can't change or unless you have like the perfect thing to say the perfect argument or the perfect tone or the perfect approach or if you don't like skirt around the truth and if you don't soften the truth to the point of basically not saying anything then no one's going to listen to you or if you don't compromise with the world then you're not going to win anyone over and I get these kinds of messages so often from people whose minds and hearts have been changed and again I don't take credit for it it's just it just goes to show that as we always say the Lord's Eternal Plan of Redemption is always going off without a hitch like you hear these voicemails they don't make headlines they're not going viral and yet um this is what the Lord is doing this is what the Lord has always done through Believers by the way I'm just a common believer you're just a common believer this is what God has done since the beginning of the church he has used his people uh to change hearts in Minds for him to change hearts and Minds The Heart of Stone to the heart of Flesh so take that plan Parenthood um okay let's do voicemail 7 hey Ali Beth this is Andrew from beautiful North Georgia been listening and following you since before you even started your podcast uh back when it was the conservative Millennial I too am an elder Millennial um and I appreciate the segments that you have specifically with your father as myself and a father of a young daughter um I appreciate hearing that interaction and wisdom uh from him and hearing you listen uh and and interact with him on on all those things um would you rather listen to Donald Trump read the message for the rest of your life or Joe Biden read the ESV oh that's good that's the only versions that you can listen to for the rest of your life uh which one would you rather listen to thank you for all you do and God bless you thank you related bro thank you so much and my dad will love to hear that too um okay first I'm not an elder Millennial if you were born in 1992 then you were not an elder Millennial either I was born in ' 92 now if you were born in the early 80s y'all are it's called geriatric Millennial that's the medical term and if you're born before 1990 you're geriatric do not include me do not include me in your late 30s early 40s uh era that you are in but I will give you credit for your um for your would you rather okay so the question was would you rather listen to Donald Trump read so I'm I'm picturing this in my Bible app the only bi the only way that I can read the Bible is to hear Donald Trump read the message version which the message version is like instead of you know I don't know I'm trying to think of a verse of course like I can't think of a verse off the top of my head it's like uh By Grace you have been saved through faith it would be like um It's All Good Vibes and nothing you can do man that's basically what the message is um or that ESV which is what I listen to or what I read the English Standard Version Joe Biden reading that ah I have to go with Joe Biden reading the ESV and you know what if Joe Biden read the whole Bible I would be thankful for that I'd be thankful for that and I will say I'm not completely trashing on the message like okay if someone really needs that as like their Gateway that's okay but it can't end there you need to got to graduate to the ESV or nasb or the KJV in KJV I would say um Okay let's listen to voicemail 10 hey this is the chief relat bro I just wanted to call in and say congratulations on a thousand episodes to Ally and the relatable team I know the work that goes into the show

believe and I was so offended by it um but I had an easy disorder and just had been said a lot of self- Lov therapy and your episode just helped me come face to face with really how unbiblical A lot of it is and um I've been listening to you ever since and just really appreciate what you do and how you hold firm to the word and just pray that you continue to do so thank you so much that means a lot to me that was like um my first favorite episode I think it was the most popular episode for a really long time and it also inspired the book that I wrote you're not enough and that's okay where I

changed my mind on multiple things pit bulls oh my gosh um also surrogacy and IDF and this one's gonna sound kind of weird but like I used to vote for Democrats in elections um and I don't do that

matter um okay would you rather would you rather be um every single time for the rest of your life that you are stuck in line anywhere you are stuck in line next to AOC and she's like taking selfies

rather laugh like kamla I think I would would you rather laugh like kamla yeah You' rather laugh like kamla George and Vince a no one wants to walk like Jo no one likes to no one wants to walk like Joe Biden okay okay okay would I rather have to finance all of Steven ferdi's designer clothes or join the Church of Scientology for a year okay I definitely would rather Finance fct's designer clothes I would go bankrupt extremely quickly and then I would just be like I don't have any money I don't have any money um so I can't I can't join this church of Scientology for year that's so scary unless I like go in and I like share the gospel with everyone and everyone is like oh my gosh this is wrong and I break apart the cult but I don't think that would happen I think that would kill me ah um um let's see so many Sam Brittain ones cuz he's so scary would I rather have Don Limon be the permanent co-host of relatable or Sam Brittain produced relatable um well I'm genuinely scared of Sam Brittain like I'm scared of him Don Limon I would just turn his mic off and he wouldn't know and he would just be talking and he thinks he's making really good points but like the camera would just be on me and I would just keep talking and it you know what it would be kind of be fun a little bit to you know just like slap them around because I don't think that he is the most skilled debater in the world um would I rather own a pitbull or only the parts the only the pants I'm allowed to wear are low-rise jeans oh I would rather wear low-rise jeans I mean I would wear a really long shirt but I would rather do that than own a pitbull I can't put my children in danger I just will have to put all of your eyes in danger by wearing lowrise jeans um let's see would you rather always speak in Bible verses or always sing in Christian hymns so does that mean that I am not talking that I'm only singing or does it mean that when I sing it has to be a Christian hym um well if I only spoke in Bible verses then I would never be wrong so that would be cool I would just always be saying something that's true which is great um but I do love Christian hymns I would not mind every time I sing singing Christian hymns and so I guess but if that means that I can't talk I don't know so I'm going to say singing Christian hymns and I'm going to go with like what I wanted to be uh would you rather paint your house all black or replace all your carpets with Toy Story ruggable rugs good question definitely Toy Story rug rugs because some of them are kind of cute I if you know what I'm talking about you know that you might buy a ruggable Toy Story rug and not even know that Jane and Woody are on them lassoing the designs on there you might not know so I'm going to go with Toy Story rug rugs would look fine would I rather walk Barefoot through an airport or have comma as my mom um definitely Barefoot through an airport for sure it's fine you can just take a shower um would I rather swim in my snow clothes which I don't own or play in the snow in a swimsuit oh swim in my snow clothes for sure definitely not in the ocean but like in a pool um Okay let's listen to voicemail 15 hi Ali Beth this is Christina from Atlanta one of your biggest fans I've listened to every single episode um I have the world's hardest would you rather a question okay here it goes I'm ready would you rather go on a romantic getaway Weekend with Joe Biden or a girls trip to Vegas with AOC have fun with that one love you so much bye okay love you too but that's not difficult that's not difficult at all one means a romantic trip with Joe Biden like let's think about that for a second uh no in zero circumstances would I be going on a romantic trip with anyone except for chief relat bro but Joe Biden I mean maybe you go and he falls asleep at 4:00 every day and you can just enjoy the vacation without him but romantic getaway no no no um now all of you no no no I was trying to think like who would answer this question with that one but no in zero circumstances ever it would definitely be a girls trip with AOC and again I'm always going to pick the AOC option because I think that I could get through to her I think that I could change her mind by just asking a few pointed strategic questions that would make her worldview crumble so yeah I don't hate AOC I feel bad for her and I think that she her she weaponizes her stupidity for the destruction of the United States but I think that I could help her out all right that's it for the W you rathers I think we had some Tik toks to react to we don't have time for that let's go to gosh we got we have some cute good news stories um I want to go through though the um the Paleo artist drawings of some animals and that's how we're going to end today's episode but let me tell you about our last sponsor for the day and that is net site by Oracle so this is for you business owners out there netw is the number one Cloud Financial system bringing accounting financial management inventory HR into one platform and one source of Truth you reduce it cost because net Suite lives in the cloud with no Hardware required accessed from anywhere you cut the cost of maintaining multiple systems because you've got one unified business management Suite you improve efficiency by bringing all of your major business processes into one platform slashing manual tasks and errors over 37,000 companies have already made the move do what's right for your business and switch to netw site by Oracle they've extended their one-of aind flexible financing program for a few more weeks head to net.com alley netsuite.com alley [Music] okay so I want to go through I want to I want to go through some of these pictures of animals that have been uh drawn by a Paleo artist who named CM kosman he drew common animals the way that dinosaurs have been depicted uh with no layers of fat and an emphasis on teeth so if we were to have the fossils of these animals or the bones of these animals that I'm about to read and an artist who has traditionally depicted uh dinosaurs drew them based on these bones this is what they would look like which tells us that how dinosaurs have been depicted is probably not what they've actually looked like and the reason that we're talking about this of course you know that we have a theory that it's not that dinosaurs didn't exist I know I kind of said that in my Montage it's that they looked and sounded completely different than what we are told they look and sounded like now and it really is just a bunch of people having a good time and having some kind of fantasy of Jurassic Park so okay can we go through this this is Buzzfeed news this is a baboon so again this is what a baboon would be depicted as if you didn't draw them with their layers of fat or the right teeth or their fur like we are just guessing because we can't know what kind of skin what kind of hair and even fully what kind of teeth dinosaurs soall had and so these artists that are depicting them are just kind of making things up assuming there wasn't fat assuming there wasn't hair assuming that there wasn't fur and so this is what a baboom would look like if it were depicted as dinosaurs are depicted and yet the bones are just a baboon okay here's a zebra a zebra guys a zebra like this is what a zebra would look like without fat and without its hair and so you could see oh that looks like a dinosaur no that's literally just a zebra a cow a cow okay a cow a cat if you put a cat and you put spikes on its head again things that are being totally made up by these paleontologist artists the like spikes and stuff that are on some of like the spikes on the Triceratops and stuff I don't think you can see it actually in the shot that's okay I'll grab it see made up no one knows that these spikes existed and so this cat if it were drawn as the artist draw dinosaurs yeah it would look like that but it doesn't it looks like a cat swan on very scary um and yet that's not what they look like an elephant if it didn't have like it's big head there are many like this if you look up the skeleton of an owl the skeleton of a hippo you could see how someone would think that looks like a dinosaur and yet we know what they look like I'm just saying we don't actually know what these so-called dinosaurs looked like or sounded like and we are made to believe that this is science and yes there are some conspiratorial theories about why like why when you question what dinosaurs looked like or if they existed in the way that they say that they exist as like why people get so angry about this why people push back about this is it about the age of the Earth is it about just trusting the science and the scientific institutions that once you start to like poke holes in you really start to question their Authority Al together I don't know I'm just saying that the whole thing is pretty sketchy all right that's all we got time for today y'all we had a few other things to talk about but maybe we'll save that for a future episode we've got some good news stories we can definitely talk about some of those next week because you know what the world just feels weighty sometimes but good things are always happening and remember in Jesus's presence is fullness of joy that's what Psalm 16 tells us and that is always made available to us in Christ thank the Lord for that all right thank you guys so much relatable family we will be back here on [Music] Monday for
