RECENTLY I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
NTERVIEWING PAUL WASHER AT THE G3
CONFERENCE. THE SOUTH EAST FINEST CONFERENCE BAR
NONE IF YOU CAN GET THERE NEXT YEAR, MAGNIFICENT. AND I WAS
GOING TO BE CHATTING WITH HIM ABOUT ECCLESIOLOGY, ABOUT THE
CHURCH. BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET STARTED, HIS CELL PHONE
RANG!>>(PAUL WASHER)OH THAT'S MY WIFE>>(TODD)TAKE THAT, YOU GOT
TO TAKE THAT.>>(PAUL WASHER)HELLO (CROWD LAUGHING)
I'M BEING INTERVIEWED NOW BY TODD FRIEL, WE'RE LIVE (TODD
LAUGHING) SO DON'T SAY ANYTHING THAT WOULD EMBARRASS YOU (MORE
LAUGHTER) YEA OKAY. YOU WANT TO CALL ME LATER, IS THE BABY OKAY?
OKAY...OKAY...YES...EVAN? HE'S NOT HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE
IS, I DIDN'T LOSE HIM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I LOST SIGHT OF
HIM >>(TODD)HIS SON! (CROWD LAUGHING)>>(PAUL WASHER)YEA,
I'LL FIND HIM, IT'S ATLANTA, IT'S NOT THAT BIG (TODD AND
CROWD LAUGHING) ALRIGHT, BYE BYE.>>(TODD) (LAUGHING) SO NOW
WE GET TO ALL GO HOME AND SAY>>(PAUL WASHER)I'M DEAD NOW

WITH PAUL WASHER AND HIS WIFE, LITTLE CHAT...ALRIGHT, HOW OLD
IS YOUR BABY?>>(PAUL WASHER)10 MONTHS...JUST CALL ME ABRAHAM.
(TODD AND CROWD LAUGHING) >>(TODD) YOU KNOW, DON'T TELL
YOUR WIFE THAT, BECAUSE THAT MAKES HER SARAH. >>(PAUL
WASHER)NO, ACTUALLY SHE'S ONLY LIKE 28.>>(TODD)YOUR
WIFE?>>(PAUL WASHER)I'M KIDDING (CROWD LAUGHING)SHE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S 28.>>(TODD) I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FACE TO PUT ON FOR
THAT(LAUGHING)...OKAY>>(PAUL WASHER) YOU KNOW I CAME BACK
FROM PREACHING EVERY TWO MONTHS. I GO AND PREACH TO THE CHINESE.
USUALLY ABOUT 14 SERMONS IN LIKE 3 DAYS. SO I CAME BACK AND I WAS
REALLY TIRED AND LAYING ON THE BED. SHE CAME IN AND I SAID "I
FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M SO TIRED." AND SHE SAID "OLD
MAN, YOU BETTER LIVE FOREVER." I THOUGHT "THAT WAS STRANGE" AND
SHE THREW THAT LITTLE STICK ON ME(LAUGHTER), AND I SAID "YOU
HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME">>(TODD)OH! THAT'S HOW IT
HAPPENED?!(LAUGHING)>>(PAUL WASHER) YEA! >>(TODD)WOW>>(PAUL
WASHER)THEN SHE LIED TO ME, A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN SHE WENT
TO GET AN ULTRA SOUND TO SEE IF IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL. SHE CAME
IN AND SAID, REALLY, YOU JUST NEED TO SIT DOWN. I THOUGHT "IS
THE BABY OKAY?" SHE GOES "PERFECT HEALTH, DON'T WORRY."
AND I SAID "WHAT" SHE SAID "YOU KNOW HOW YOUR FATHER WAS A
TWIN." YEA. SHE SAID "IT'S TRIPLETS PAUL, IT'S TRIPLETS"
(CROWD LAUGHING) AND I LEANED AGAINST THE WALL AND I STARTED
PRAYING. I SAID "LORD YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF
ALL THIS." AND SHE JUST BUSTS OUT LAUGHING (EVERYONE LAUGHING)
SO THEN I PRAYED FOR HER SOUL (LAUGHS) LETS HOPE HE ACTUALLY
GAVE US PERMISSION TO USE THAT OUTTAKE. WOULDN'T IF BE FUNNY IF
HE SUED US. YOU CAN BE CONSERVATIVE...CHRISTIAN. YOU
CAN BE EARNEST, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A WET BLANKET. I'M NO
GEORGE BARNA BUT I DO PLAY HIM ON TV RIGHT NOW. MY PERSONAL
POLL OF CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS. THE STATISTICS ARE MORE A LITTLE
BIT ON THE (MEH) SIDE THAN ON THE JOYFUL SIDE. THAT NOT OUGHT
TO BE. IN FACT, I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THE MORE CONSERVATIVE YOU
ARE, THE MORE YOU SHOULD HAVE JOY AND LAUGH. NOW IT WON'T BE
BOUGHTY. IT WON'T BE INAPPROPRIATE OR BLUE IN ANY
WAY. BUT YOU WILL FIND JOY, LAUGHTER, AND ENJOYMENT IN THE
THINGS THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR US. THE MORE CONSERVATIVE YOU
ARE, I GOT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE
CHRISTIAN, HOW WOULD PEOPLE DESCRIBE YOU WHEN YOUR NOT
AROUND? WOULD THEY SAY THAT YOUR FUN? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
FRIVOLOUS. WOULD THEY SAY THAT YOUR ENJOYABLE? I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT BEING MARY ANDREWISH. HOW WOULD THEY DESCRIBE YOU, WOULD
IT EVER INCLUDE THINGS LIKE...CONTENT, HAPPY,
JOYFILLED, DIFFERENT THAN SO MANY PEOPLE, NOT AFFECTED BY ALL
OF THE WAVES AND WINDS OF ADVERSITY OF LIFE. THAT GUY,
THAT GAL IS DIFFERENT. HOW WOULD THEY DESCRIBE...YOU?
