I'd like to talk to you about a new book, Full-Time, Work and the Meaning of Life by David Bonson. In a time where work is being heralded as the cause of societal pain, depression, and anxiety, full-time is screaming the exact opposite, that we're created to work and that our work provides unique meaning and purpose in our lives. We are living in a crisis of apathy and ignorance regarding work's existential nature. There's no shortage of books telling people to work less, to find balance, to think less of career, and more of things that bring them happiness.
In full time, Bonson makes the case that our understanding of work and its role in our lives is deeply flawed. He argues that the time has come to stop tiptoeing around the issues that matter, that separating one's identity from what they do is demonstrably false,
and that a low view of work is leading to disastrous policy proposals and cultural attitudes. It is in work of every kind that we discover our meaning and purpose. A significant and successful life is one rooted in full-time productivity and cultivation of God's created world. A life of meaning is right under your nose, and with it, the joy and peace of a life well lived. Available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Visit fulltimebook.com for more information.

Men are called to do hard things, very hard things in fact. The heavy burdens that are not suited to the tender nature of women and children. Today you must take on the heaviest burden, the ultimate load if you will. Tick-tock reactions. And get ready man, this is not easy and it's not supposed to be. Bucko? Yeah, I mean we might as well. I'm not returning my shopping cart.
and you can judge me all you want. I'm not getting my groceries into my car, getting my children into the car, and then leaving them in the car to go return the cart. So if you're going to give me a dirty look,
This is the situation you put me in. I have so much to say and already I'm being cut off. Like, I don't even think, I've already said more than can exist in the YouTube Shorts program. So, there's so much I could say. I want to say so much, but I cannot say anything to this. So, she's wrong, obviously, with this. This job ain't shabby. Can't hear no more. My woman done all the resources we're getting for. You better not try.
Yeah, that's someone. Someone probably died. That's silly. Bet someone died in that one. Pretty wacky. That's a wacky hijinks. I don't think anyone died, but that is Nashville. That's Nashville drivers for you. Don't shoot, please. I have a family. Here's my wallet. Here's my wallet. Take my keys to where's my car. I know I parked it here.
I knew I shouldn't have bought a Kia. I think that's pretty funny. You know, I can't decide if it's funny or not. But I think it is. I give it a... You know, I rate it a 5.7 out of 10 on the funny scale. How long is this f***ing video? Why does this video exist? Why are we looking at this?
She gets winded cutting a donut. That's how you know you have a weight problem, when you get winded cutting a donut. That's not a good breakfast. That's just pure sugar. You might as well just take a literal measuring cup of sugar out of your pantry and just hand it to her. - It's a candle warmer. - A candle warmer? - Yes. - Candles warm themselves. They're literally on fire. I'm so confused.
The light bulb warms. We spent money on this to warm our candles that are literally warm? They're hot, actually. How do you warm what's hot?
You can't. Jimmy, it's a flame. It's hot. I bought a lamp warmer. I'm in a candle warm. Wait a minute. Are we warming lamps or are we warming candles? Are you buying wickless candles? This can't be real. You both did this as a joke. I thought it was cute. Yeah, candle warmers are stupid and gay. And also, I have one in my office.
I work. I do. But they made me. They forced on me because it's an insurance problem to have fire. I can't light candles anymore. That's the world we live in, folks.
Using the internet without ExpressVPN, it's like having a first aid kit but not keeping it stocked. Most of the time you'll probably be fine, but what if one day you need it and you don't have it? Every time you connect to an unencrypted network in a cafe, hotel, or airport, any hacker on the same network can gain access to your personal data, like your passwords and financial details. Doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack somebody. A smart 12-year-old could do it with some cheap hardware.
And they could make up to $1,000 per person selling this personal information on the dark web. That's why I use ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between my device and the internet so that hackers can't steal your sensitive data. I love ExpressVPN because it's so easy to use.

I mean, can we circle back on Jared's comment? Can you just be normal for like a second? Yeah, let me, I'll put a pin in that. Oh my God. You tried for a quick sink this afternoon. Well, I'm right here. Just tell me now. Just a quick touch base. Five minutes we can do this afternoon. Just tell me now. I'm so exhausted. I just feel like I'm wearing so many hats. I need you to download the dishwasher by EOD. Yeah, can you get out of my face by EOD? Yeah, I'll get out of your face by EOD for sure. That was clever.
I mean, if you got to make TikTok videos, it's not the worst one to make. It's not the worst TikTok video of all time. It's not great. It doesn't need to exist. This doesn't need to exist. Nothing we're doing does, but it does. All right. All we would need is like a very specific 10 inch two by four and then another one stacked just like this on top of it. And this would be fixed. It'd be fixed. No way. No way. No way. No, no way. Out here in the field.
It was funny. Another funny one. Relatable, even. Relatable. Relatable and funny. It's the best kind of content. It was good. I'm not being sarcastic. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
This is what it's like to backpack in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as an American. Day two of this series starts in Kabul, where we had a very mediocre hotel breakfast before going to the Ministry of Information and Culture to get our permits. Of the very few tourists that have decided to visit Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, a vast majority have a guide.
Unfortunately, that was out of our budget, so we just came alone. But getting our permits was relatively straightforward thanks to a report written by a solo female traveler who spent three weeks traveling around the country. I'll put her ad on the screen. Permits in hand, we were now authorized to walk around the streets of Kabul freely, which was such a cool feeling.
peruse the markets, giving as much business as possible to local vendors. We spent a lot of time at the bird market, where thousands of different species of birds are on sale. This is probably Kabul's most notable tourist attraction. Some of our Taliban interactions before we had our permits were a little stressful, so we just had such a big weight lifted off our shoulders, and we're really able to enjoy the day, drinking tea with locals and taking as many photos as we could. I just don't care about it. Can we do the next one? I just don't care enough to even say anything about it. Oh, is that it? Oh, thank God.
