You don't look comfortable, Paul.
00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:02.020
Man was not meant to live like this.
00:00:02.030 --> 00:00:04.070
-We got this! -Holy cow!
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.010
(laughs, grunts)
00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:07.260
00:00:07.270 --> 00:00:11.010
I'm Kirk Cameron.
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:12.090
And I get to meet some pretty amazing people.
00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:14.170
These are people who totally inspire me
00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:16.220
with their hearts full of faith,
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:19.200
character and courage.
00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:21.170
They push their limits, they think outside the box,
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.060
and bravely use their gifts
00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:25.150
and talents to bless others.
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.030
And today, we get to spend some time one on one.
00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:31.180
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:39.160
Raising kids is one of the greatest things
00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:45.020
in my whole life.
00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:46.120
Chelsea and I have six of them,
00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:47.270
and as overwhelming as it can feel sometimes,
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.100
we wouldn't change it for the whole world.
00:00:50.110 --> 00:00:51.290
That's why I invited over my friends
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.170
Joe Baker and Paul Isaacs.
00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:55.020
They run an organization called Save the Storks.
00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:57.230
They work with pregnancy resource centers
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.170
all over the country to provide expectant mothers
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:03.180
with free ultrasounds, prenatal care,
00:01:03.190 --> 00:01:06.120
excellent medical services and information,
00:01:06.130 --> 00:01:09.160
to help them make truly informed decisions
00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:13.030
that will be best
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.220
for them and their baby.
00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:16.110
They're literally saving
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:17.210
and changing lives every single day.
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.140
Hey, guys.
00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:21.250
-JOE: Hey, man. -How's it going?
00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:23.080
-All right. -Good to see you.
00:01:23.090 --> 00:01:25.060
-PAUL: Kirk. -Hey. How are you?
00:01:25.070 --> 00:01:26.220
Have a seat.
00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:28.020
-You like this? -It's a great spread.
00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:29.280
Real quick, how'd you come up with the name?
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.200
(Joe and Paul chuckling)
00:01:34.210 --> 00:01:35.280
There's a great story there.
00:01:35.290 --> 00:01:37.140
Everybody who isn't pro-life always seems to love
00:01:37.150 --> 00:01:40.030
an environmental cause, so I said, you know,
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.020
"Why don't we go with something that sounds environmental?"
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.100
And so I came up with "Save the Storks."
00:01:45.110 --> 00:01:47.130
Yeah, it's a mythical bird that carries a baby, you know?
00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:49.110
And, uh, I printed up these shirts that said,
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.130
"55 million storks shot down since 1973."
00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:56.290
Obviously referring to Roe v. Wade.
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.210
As soon as the box arrived, I put one on and I was headed
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:01.190
out the door to the Apple Store.
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.160
And I didn't even make it to the Genius Bar
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:05.220
when this woman grabs me by the shoulder.
00:02:05.230 --> 00:02:07.240
She turns me around and she says,
00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:09.080
"I've heard of the spotted owl, and the whale,
00:02:09.090 --> 00:02:11.080
but who is killing the storks?"
00:02:11.090 --> 00:02:13.080
-And, uh... -(all chuckling)
00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:14.200
-She was very concerned about that. -Yeah.
00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:16.270
And so I couldn't help but tell her that there were
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.160
some Cheneys up in North Dakota shooting them down
00:02:18.170 --> 00:02:20.050
as they were coming over the border, and...
00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:22.240
-You didn't. -Yeah, I did.
00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:24.000
-You did. (chuckles) -I couldn't help it.
00:02:24.010 --> 00:02:25.070
-And, uh... -He did.
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.190
At some point, uh, I level w-with the woman
00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:29.170
and, I mean, she was ready to sell everything
00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:31.130
and join my cause and, and then at some point I said,
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:33.220
"Ma'am, I'm totally messing with you.
00:02:33.230 --> 00:02:35.080
"But our cause is even greater than this,
00:02:35.090 --> 00:02:37.070
'cause we are saving human lives." And I said,
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.140
"Many women who are about to make a decision for abortion
00:02:40.150 --> 00:02:43.210
will choose life because of this organization I'm building."
00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:47.120
And she got cold and emotionless and she says,
00:02:47.130 --> 00:02:51.020
"Well, I'm 100% pro-choice."
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.240
And without even missing a beat, Kirk, I said,
00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:56.130
"That is wonderful to hear," I said,
00:02:56.140 --> 00:02:58.200
"Because 84% of post-abortive women have later said
00:02:58.210 --> 00:03:01.140
"that having an abortion was their only choice.
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:04.110
"And I'm here to meet the needs of those women and provide
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.250
the two alternatives to abortion to them."
00:03:06.260 --> 00:03:10.250
And this woman had no idea what to do with that.
00:03:10.260 --> 00:03:13.080
'Cause suddenly it sounded so pro-choice to her.
00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:15.180
And I realized, to me, that I was onto something,
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:18.010
that our name started our conversation in a new place...
00:03:18.020 --> 00:03:21.120
-Mm. -...where I can begin a new dialogue,
00:03:21.130 --> 00:03:23.180
and so it's been a fun aspect of our-our name.
00:03:23.190 --> 00:03:26.100
Uh, everywhere I go people are asking me, you know,
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:29.210
"Who's killing the storks?
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:32.010
How do I save the storks?" You know?
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:33.130
And, uh, I'm always leading 'em on
00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:35.150
-before I tell 'em what we really do. -Yeah.
00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:38.010
I-I love the story of how S-Save the Storks got started.
00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:41.010
It's the story about you and you went on a mission trip.
00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:43.010
-Tell the story again. -Yeah, it was actually the Bronx of New York,
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:45.070
and we were there, uh, to-to just help women
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.250
who are going into an abortion clinic
00:03:47.260 --> 00:03:49.110
make a better decision.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.270
And I got to see these young, passionate pro-lifers using
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.060
a really ghetto, retrofitted shuttle van,
00:03:53.070 --> 00:03:56.180
uh, probably on about a $5.000 budget.
00:03:56.190 --> 00:03:59.070
Uh, but they were there, passionately wanting
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.090
to offer women a free sonogram
00:04:01.100 --> 00:04:03.060
and some resources if they decided to carry.
00:04:03.070 --> 00:04:05.000
And when I saw the thing, I said, "I don't know.
00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:07.110
I'm not-- I don't really think this is gonna work."
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.200
-Yeah. Yes, it's kind of a shady van... -Yeah.
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:12.100
-It was-- Didn't look all-- maybe all that safe. -PAUL: Yeah.
00:04:12.110 --> 00:04:14.200
And so I was a little bit off to the side,
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:16.070
and the girl who's gonna train me that morning,
00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:17.170
she ran in to get a coffee.
00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:19.010
And out of nowhere a woman came up to me,
00:04:19.020 --> 00:04:21.090
who I thought maybe was asking me for directions,
00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:23.000
says, "I'm here for my appointment."
00:04:23.010 --> 00:04:25.020
And she thought that I was working
00:04:25.030 --> 00:04:26.120
at the abortion clinic I was standing in front of.
00:04:26.130 --> 00:04:28.030
And, uh... uh, I said,
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.090
"No, no, no, no, I don't work here at this abortion clinic.
00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:33.040
"Uh, but I'm hanging out with these folks over here
00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:35.090
"that have this van and some resources
00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:36.280
"if you'd like to climb aboard.
00:04:36.290 --> 00:04:38.140
"Uh, they'll-they'll offer you some resources
00:04:38.150 --> 00:04:40.160
if you decide to carry."
00:04:40.170 --> 00:04:41.200
Walked her over and I-I presented her
00:04:41.210 --> 00:04:44.090
to the sonographer at the door.
00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:46.030
Uh, that gave me just a little bit of time to pray.
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.010
And, uh, I-I knew something
00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:51.010
truly amazing was taking place on that vehicle.
00:04:51.020 --> 00:04:54.020
Uh, but when she came off,
00:04:54.030 --> 00:04:55.140
I could see there were tears in her eyes
00:04:55.150 --> 00:04:57.010
and she was be-- booting up her phone.
00:04:57.020 --> 00:04:59.010
And so I wanted to ask her something.
00:04:59.020 --> 00:05:00.240
So I said, "Who are you calling?"
00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:02.060
I didn't know what else to say.
00:05:02.070 --> 00:05:03.160
-Yeah. -And she said, "I'm calling my mom
00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:05.240
"to tell her that I'm gonna--
00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:07.160
"or that she's gonna be a grandmother.
00:05:07.170 --> 00:05:09.080
And to get some help."
00:05:09.090 --> 00:05:10.130
-Wow. -And, I'll tell you, man,
00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:12.050
that changed my life. Like, it was like
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:13.270
an addiction that started right then. And...
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:16.080
W-What was it inside of that van
00:05:16.090 --> 00:05:18.130
that-that-that you think changed the game for her?
00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:21.190
JOE: Yeah, see, the magic is in the sonogram.
00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:23.150
A mother begins to bond with her baby,
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.050
sometimes for the first time, with that sonogram.
00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:28.000
That's what changes the game.
00:05:28.010 --> 00:05:29.110
-And she hears the heartbeat. -PAUL: Yeah.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.190
-And... -And-And that was the thing,
00:05:30.200 --> 00:05:32.030
Kirk, like, the van may not have looked all that great.
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.130
Um, but the people that helped that girl
00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:39.260
-and talked with her... -Yeah.
00:05:39.270 --> 00:05:41.220
...and showed her, uh, the ultrasound
00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:44.080
of what was going on inside her stomach, like,
00:05:44.090 --> 00:05:46.010
and-and to hear the heartbeat,
00:05:46.020 --> 00:05:48.180
uh, that changed the game for that girl.
00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:51.070
-As rudimentary as it was... -Yeah.
00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:53.260
And it changed the game for him.
00:05:53.270 --> 00:05:55.210
Yeah, so-so what happened then?
00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:57.040
So that night, I, uh, called my fiancée, Ann,
00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:00.280
and I said, "Ann," I said, "What if I could do
00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:03.060
"what I saw today everywhere in America?
00:06:03.070 --> 00:06:05.170
"What if we could take it up a notch?
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:07.050
What if we could do it with excellence?"
00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:09.000
And those are the two kind of entrepreneurial problems
00:06:09.010 --> 00:06:11.240
-I wanted to solve that I was just-- -Hmm.
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:13.240
-couldn't even sleep over. -Hmm.
00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:15.180
And, uh, it was a year later
00:06:15.190 --> 00:06:17.160
that, uh, Ann-- when Ann and I got married--
00:06:17.170 --> 00:06:19.240
I got to tell my then father-in-law, I said,
00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:22.060
"Hey, Dave, uh, uh,
00:06:22.070 --> 00:06:24.040
"we didn't spend all our money on a house,
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.160
"but instead we bought this
00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:27.010
"brand-new Mercedes Sprinter van and some sleeping bags,
00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:29.230
-and we're going on tour." -Nice! (chuckles)
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.130
-I bet he was pretty fired up about that. -PAUL: Real exciting.
00:06:31.140 --> 00:06:33.120
Yeah, that's how we started our marriage, and I'll tell you,
00:06:33.130 --> 00:06:35.120
it was pure misery at the beginning,
00:06:35.130 --> 00:06:37.060
-it was really hard. -Mm.
00:06:37.070 --> 00:06:38.210
-You were living in the van? -Yeah, we lived in the van.
00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.200
With not even just us, we had--
00:06:40.210 --> 00:06:42.180
we took some other people with us to go on this tour.
00:06:42.190 --> 00:06:44.210
-And so... Yes. -Great. Great honeymoon.
00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:46.260
-Exactly. -Great honeymoon scenario.
00:06:46.270 --> 00:06:48.150
-Yeah. -(Paul laughing)
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.290
Actually, in the first year, that first bus,
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.170
I had 394 women make a decision for life,
00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:56.120
uh, right in front of an abortion clinic.
00:06:56.130 --> 00:06:58.180
So, inside of the-the bus, which is
00:06:58.190 --> 00:07:00.170
-a Mercedes Sprinter van... -PAUL: Right.
00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:01.230
KIRK: ...um, inside, you, like--
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.030
-you decked it out with... -JOE: Yeah.
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:05.040
...a sonogram machine,
00:07:05.050 --> 00:07:06.140
ultrasound, with, like, leather seats
00:07:06.150 --> 00:07:08.030
and, like, surround sound
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.120
so she can hear the heartbeat
00:07:09.130 --> 00:07:10.200
and flat-screen TVs.
00:07:10.210 --> 00:07:12.000
-The whole-- the whole nine yards, right? -Right.
00:07:12.010 --> 00:07:13.230
The idea is to make a girl feel comfortable
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.250
and safe. And then to have that kind
00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:17.190
of technology show them what's going on inside is--
00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:20.290
it's a game changer.
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.040
And-and, typically, what-what happens?
00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:23.200
So
00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:25.270
So,
00:07:25.270 --> 00:07:25.280
So, I
00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:25.290
So, I go
00:07:25.290 --> 00:07:26.000
So, I got
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:26.010
So, I got to
00:07:26.010 --> 00:07:26.020
So, I got to g
00:07:26.020 --> 00:07:26.030
So, I got to go
00:07:26.030 --> 00:07:26.040
So, I got to go
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:26.050
So, I got to go
00:07:26.050 --> 00:07:26.060
So, I got to go ba
00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:26.070
So, I got to go back
00:07:26.070 --> 00:07:26.080
So, I got to go back t
00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:26.090
So, I got to go back to
00:07:26.090 --> 00:07:26.100
So, I got to go back to th
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:26.110
So, I got to go back to the
00:07:26.110 --> 00:07:26.120
So, I got to go back to the Br
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:26.130
So, I got to go back to the Bron
00:07:26.130 --> 00:07:26.140
So, I got to go back to the Bronx,
00:07:26.140 --> 00:07:26.150
So, I got to go back to the Bronx, u
00:07:26.150 --> 00:07:26.160
So, I got to go back to the Bronx, uh,
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.220
just a couple weeks ago and, uh...
00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.010
and actually take one of our high quality mobile units
00:07:29.020 --> 00:07:31.140
and do the same thing.
00:07:31.150 --> 00:07:32.240
And I was amazed at the success rate of it.
00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:34.240
Uh, we had one woman-- literally had her hand
00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:37.040
on the door of the abortion clinic
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:39.040
when the pregnancy center director said,
00:07:39.050 --> 00:07:41.000
"Hey, just come on in, into our bus
00:07:41.010 --> 00:07:43.000
and just consider your options."
00:07:43.010 --> 00:07:45.100
And she says, "There's no way I'm carrying,
00:07:45.110 --> 00:07:47.060
but I'll come aboard." And she came aboard
00:07:47.070 --> 00:07:49.020
and, uh, received the sonogram.
00:07:49.030 --> 00:07:51.040
And she just began to bond with that baby.
00:07:51.050 --> 00:07:54.140
-Mm. -And, uh... and she began to share that
00:07:54.150 --> 00:07:56.250
her and her boyfriend, who just felt
00:07:56.260 --> 00:07:59.170
like they couldn't have a baby right now and...
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:02.030
and yet she began to have that emotional connection and say,
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.130
"You know, I-I see that it's a living... being,
00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:09.010
just-just like me."
00:08:09.020 --> 00:08:10.200
-The sonogram tech ended up putting... -Yeah.
00:08:10.210 --> 00:08:12.200
-...on the-- on the image, -Right.
00:08:12.210 --> 00:08:15.050
-"To Mom." "To Mom." And then... -"To Mom."
00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:16.210
-And she, uh-- and then the girl... -Yeah.
00:08:16.220 --> 00:08:18.090
the girl was so overwhelmed by that, that she says,
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:20.090
"Would you make me another sonogram
00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:22.030
-and write 'To Dad' on it?" -"To Dad." Yeah.
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.070
-Oh. Oh. -It was, uh...
00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:25.170
-And walked off there... -Yeah.
00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:27.240
-...keeping that baby. -With th-- with those two photos.
00:08:27.250 --> 00:08:29.100
-Yeah. -With those photos.
00:08:29.110 --> 00:08:30.140
And she didn't keep her appointment
00:08:30.150 --> 00:08:31.150
-at-at the clinic? -No. -No. No.
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.270
-But a hand was on the door. -(exhales)
00:08:32.280 --> 00:08:34.190
And-and the day was set. Today was--
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.160
That was the day that she was gonna have an abortion.
00:08:36.170 --> 00:08:38.240
Wow. And you know what-- you know what's amazing to me
00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:40.240
about that and what I love about that? There's--
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:42.120
-Y-You're not mentioning any picket signs... -No.
00:08:42.130 --> 00:08:44.120
...no bullhorns, no shame, no guilt, no judgment.
00:08:44.130 --> 00:08:47.220
Nothing like that. It's just...
00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:49.100
You're offering free medical care
00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:52.000
so that she's more informed,
00:08:52.010 --> 00:08:54.160
and then the-the baby does the convincing.
00:08:54.170 --> 00:08:57.160
-E-Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, th... -Yeah.
00:08:57.170 --> 00:08:59.110
-That's-that's stellar. -I love it,
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.290
like, when you say it like that,
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.100
'cause that's exactly what it is-- the baby,
00:09:02.110 --> 00:09:03.240
uh, you know, helps the w-woman make the decision
00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:05.290
for life. And-and so much of, like,
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.090
what's happened in the past
00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:09.230
with pro-life, like, you know, uh, has been about,
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.230
you know, picketing and protesting and boycotting.
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.030
But now it's about-- we're making it about service.
00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:18.210
How do we serve this mom?
00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.180
-Yeah. -Because
00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:21.160
statistics say that 84%
00:09:21.170 --> 00:09:23.040
of post abortive women later say
00:09:23.050 --> 00:09:24.240
they felt having an abortion was their only option.
00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:27.040
And 64% of those women say
00:09:27.050 --> 00:09:29.200
they felt pressured into having an abortion.
00:09:29.210 --> 00:09:31.220
So, we're really providing for those women,
00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:35.020
which is a significant number of abortion--
00:09:35.030 --> 00:09:37.000
most of abortions that are happening.
00:09:37.010 --> 00:09:38.280
Uh, 'cause most women don't want to have an abortion.
00:09:38.290 --> 00:09:41.100
They want-- they want another way out.
00:09:41.110 --> 00:09:43.160
Most of the people in the pro-life community,
00:09:43.170 --> 00:09:46.240
they're heroes that-that are working
00:09:46.250 --> 00:09:48.140
at these pregnancy centers and they actually have
00:09:48.150 --> 00:09:51.020
-a heart of love and compassion. -Mm-hmm.
00:09:51.030 --> 00:09:53.200
The sad thing is, is perhaps in the media
00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:56.100
or something that's going on, it-it tell--
00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:58.100
it shows a different narrative.
00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:00.070
And-and that's another thing that I love,
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.270
is that, with so much fighting and arguing between,
00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:05.010
you know, this political group and that political group
00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:07.150
and, you know-- Or-or men versus women
00:10:07.160 --> 00:10:09.190
and it's-- and it's like everybody's polarized,
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.240
you guys are positioning Save the Storks differently.
00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:15.000
It's-- I mean, you have pro-life, you have pro-choice.
00:10:15.010 --> 00:10:17.180
-But you're kind of talking about a third option. -Right.
00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:21.020
People forget that abortion truly affects a woman
00:10:21.030 --> 00:10:24.060
for the rest of her life.
00:10:24.070 --> 00:10:26.060
Uh, we-we've heard some-- I know Joe has, too--
00:10:26.070 --> 00:10:29.040
some stories after we finish speaking
00:10:29.050 --> 00:10:32.020
about women that can't even hear a vacuum cleaner anymore,
00:10:32.030 --> 00:10:36.020
because it-it takes them to a place
00:10:36.030 --> 00:10:38.100
that they experienced in an abortion clinic.
00:10:38.110 --> 00:10:40.230
And so there's a-- there's a lot
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.240
of, um... a lot of healing that needs to take place.
00:10:42.250 --> 00:10:45.080
But we-we care about that woman
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:47.080
as much as we care about that baby, too.
00:10:47.090 --> 00:10:49.100
And we work with these centers that offer counseling,
00:10:49.110 --> 00:10:51.080
-classes, and discipleship... -Yep.
00:10:51.090 --> 00:10:53.080
...and-and connect her with the resources
00:10:53.090 --> 00:10:54.280
in-in the city that she needs.
00:10:54.290 --> 00:10:56.260
And so that's a big part of what we want to do.
00:10:56.270 --> 00:11:00.050
A-And you connect her, um,
00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:02.070
through the-the resource centers,
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.270
even with a community of faith...
00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.120
-Absolutely. -that will be with her after her child is born,
00:11:05.130 --> 00:11:07.160
with parenting classes or-or counseling for adoption.
00:11:07.170 --> 00:11:10.100
-Yeah. Exactly. -Yes.
00:11:10.110 --> 00:11:11.240
So, Joe mentioned the word "discipleship,"
00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:13.240
and that was the word that he used when I first met him
00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:16.240
that made me think, "I want to be a part of this, too."
00:11:16.250 --> 00:11:19.240
Because it's not just justice for the sake of justice.
00:11:19.250 --> 00:11:23.040
This is a gospel-centered ministry.
00:11:23.050 --> 00:11:25.180
We want a-a young woman,
00:11:25.190 --> 00:11:27.080
and perhaps her significant other,
00:11:27.090 --> 00:11:29.080
to hear about Jesus and what he's done for them.
00:11:29.090 --> 00:11:32.140
'Cause Jesus wants to visit this girl in the same way
00:11:32.150 --> 00:11:34.190
that he met the woman at the well
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.010
or the woman caught in adultery
00:11:36.020 --> 00:11:37.260
and that was with grace and with truth.
00:11:37.270 --> 00:11:39.200
-Mm. -That's what we-we really try to provide.
00:11:39.210 --> 00:11:42.000
You see, the-the grace is in our approach,
00:11:42.010 --> 00:11:44.050
in our own brokenness, in our own...
00:11:44.060 --> 00:11:46.030
-That's right. -...sense of our need.
00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:47.190
Because we all have sinned that we-- that we--
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.130
that has affected our relationship with God.
00:11:50.140 --> 00:11:52.110
And so this girl is no different than what we are
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.090
and what we have been.
00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.190
But the truth is in that ultrasound.
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.190
And when they see the truth, that's a game changer.
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.090
So, Jesus was full of grace and truth,
00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:03.030
and that's what we-we try to do.
00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:05.010
You know this is important to me, because, right,
00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:06.110
-my wife is an adopted child. -Right.
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.050
Four of our six children were adopted.
00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:10.190
I mean, they are those pre-born, uh, infants,
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:15.050
uh, in-in the womb,
00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:16.290
and I am so thankful that someone came up
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.030
alongside those young mothers and said,
00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:21.070
-"I'm with you. You're not alone." -PAUL: Right.
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.030
"You can do this. You have a miracle growing inside of you.
00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:25.230
God loves you. And we're gonna-- we're gonna help you."
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.020
Uh, and it was, like, that's what they...
00:12:29.030 --> 00:12:31.020
-what they wanted to do. -PAUL: Mm-hmm.
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:32.180
And my whole family is here because of it,
00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:34.090
including my natural-born kids, 'cause if Chelsea wasn't born,
00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:36.210
Olivia and James wouldn't be here, either.
00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:38.120
-PAUL: Yeah. Wow. -JOE: That's right.
00:12:38.130 --> 00:12:39.160
So my entire family exists
00:12:39.170 --> 00:12:40.280
-because of what you're doing... -PAUL: It's huge.
00:12:40.290 --> 00:12:42.220
-PAUL: Yeah. -...to help these birth mothers.
00:12:42.230 --> 00:12:44.060
-We love adoption at Save the Storks. -Yeah.
00:12:44.070 --> 00:12:46.060
-Oh, my gosh. -We just absolutely love it.
00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:48.050
And adoption is...
00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:50.000
is really at the center of God's heart, I think.
00:12:50.010 --> 00:12:52.050
-PAUL: Mm-hmm. -Right?
00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:53.250
Because I think of how... what-what an amazing thing
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:56.020
-that He adopts us... -PAUL: Right.
00:12:56.030 --> 00:12:57.140
...into that heavenly family by faith, uh, uh, by choice.
00:12:57.150 --> 00:13:02.040
-PAUL: Yeah. -And it... I...
00:13:02.050 --> 00:13:04.140
Well, Kirk, God uses both illustrations in the Bible.
00:13:04.150 --> 00:13:07.160
He uses an-an-an issue of being born into the family of God.
00:13:07.170 --> 00:13:10.190
-Mm. -But He also chooses
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.150
to use the message of adoption, as well.
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:14.110
We love to hear the stories back from our pregnancy centers.
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.080
Um, we want to shout those stories
00:13:17.090 --> 00:13:19.220
and-and let everyone hear those stories.
00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:22.190
There was a couple that went in.
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.210
The young woman went in.
00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:26.080
The young guy, her significant other, came out...
00:13:26.090 --> 00:13:28.270
boyfriend came out for a smoke.
00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:30.270
And he's-he's smoking, but he sees the Stork bus there,
00:13:30.280 --> 00:13:34.030
walks over to find out a little bit about what's going on,
00:13:34.040 --> 00:13:36.180
and they engage with him
00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:37.280
about what they do and why they're there.
00:13:37.290 --> 00:13:39.250
That they're there to help girls have more choices,
00:13:39.260 --> 00:13:43.050
you know, than just abortion
00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:44.130
and-and, uh, they're providing these services.
00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:46.040
Well, she came out in an armband.
00:13:46.050 --> 00:13:48.140
They'd already put the armband on her,
00:13:48.150 --> 00:13:50.040
they'd already taken her blood,
00:13:50.050 --> 00:13:51.100
so she had a Band-Aid on with the...
00:13:51.110 --> 00:13:53.060
with the cotton.
00:13:53.070 --> 00:13:54.140
And so she comes out to get a smoke, as well,
00:13:54.150 --> 00:13:56.130
sees her boyfriend over at the van and walks over.
00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:58.190
And the boyfriend, along with those dear people
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.060
in Albuquerque, convince her, "Let's just get on here.
00:14:01.070 --> 00:14:03.270
"We have nothing to lose.
00:14:03.280 --> 00:14:05.090
Let's see an image of this baby and hear the heartbeat."
00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:07.140
And she does, and when those two heard the heartbeat,
00:14:07.150 --> 00:14:10.180
and they saw the ultrasound, they said, "We can't do this."
00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:14.020
And she-she said, "Do you have some scissors?
00:14:14.030 --> 00:14:16.140
I've got to take this-this armband off."
00:14:16.150 --> 00:14:18.140
And they-they-they go... started scrambling.
00:14:18.150 --> 00:14:21.050
They say, "Yeah, we'll-we'll get that."
00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:22.190
And-and she couldn't wait for the scissors.
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.040
She ripped the armband off, and said,
00:14:24.050 --> 00:14:26.070
"We're gonna keep this baby."
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.170
But the beauty of the story, to me, is even...
00:14:27.180 --> 00:14:29.200
It gets better.
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:31.050
And that is both these young people heard the gospel
00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:33.200
from our... those people at that pregnancy center in Albuquerque.
00:14:33.210 --> 00:14:36.100
And they both received Jesus Christ as their savior.
00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:38.270
-And to me, that's the... that's the biggest thing. -Mm.
00:14:38.280 --> 00:14:41.080
The biggest need that we all have.
00:14:41.090 --> 00:14:43.040
So what advice would you give to an expectant mother
00:14:43.050 --> 00:14:46.200
who's feeling like, "This is not part of the plan?"
00:14:46.210 --> 00:14:50.010
-Mm. -Right.
00:14:50.020 --> 00:14:52.010
What do you... what do you... what do you say?
00:14:52.020 --> 00:14:53.120
How do you meet a girl
00:14:53.130 --> 00:14:54.180
in-in that moment of need like that?
00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:56.100
We just help her see that her three options are
00:14:56.110 --> 00:14:58.190
parenting, adoption and abortion.
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.060
And we want her to see how each of those is gonna impact her.
00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:04.030
-Hmm. -And of those three,
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:06.090
the one that harms her the most is abortion.
00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:09.150
It comes with lifelong pa... very painful consequences.
00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:13.230
Um, and a lot of times we think that-that...
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.240
that abortion is-is a quick, easy way
00:15:16.250 --> 00:15:19.000
to get rid of something, but it really isn't.
00:15:19.010 --> 00:15:21.000
It's gonna come with a lot of pain and hardship for her.
00:15:21.010 --> 00:15:24.260
And so we focus our counseling around her and her needs.
00:15:24.270 --> 00:15:28.110
And, uh, we've found that that's a really successful way
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.210
of leading a woman to the truth.
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:34.010
That parenting or adoption are far superior choices
00:15:34.020 --> 00:15:37.210
than abortion.
00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:39.010
Would you have any words of advice to anyone
00:15:39.020 --> 00:15:40.280
who might be watching that's saying,
00:15:40.290 --> 00:15:42.110
"Wow. How can I best help my-my daughter or-or my son
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:47.010
"whose girlfriend is now in this situation?
00:15:47.020 --> 00:15:48.200
We didn't expect this."
00:15:48.210 --> 00:15:50.080
Yeah, uh, a lot of times people, they-they just need a reality,
00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:54.100
some-someone to come in and say, "This is real.
00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:56.290
"You're a mom now, you're gonna have a baby,
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.050
"and everyone is gonna love you and love that baby
00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:02.220
"when the baby comes.
00:16:02.230 --> 00:16:04.260
"There's not one person in your life
00:16:04.270 --> 00:16:06.150
-who's gonna reject that baby when the baby comes." -Mm.
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:09.050
This isn't just about the bus and the ultrasound machine
00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:11.260
and then, you know,
00:16:11.270 --> 00:16:13.120
she-she walks away, and she decides, "Okay. I'm gonna...
00:16:13.130 --> 00:16:16.130
This is... this is the choice I'm gonna make."
00:16:16.140 --> 00:16:18.110
Tell me about the ongoing services.
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.280
What happens even after--
00:16:19.290 --> 00:16:21.050
through the nine months and even after that?
00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:23.090
Yeah, I mean, at the center I was recently talking to, they...
00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:25.180
I think they do five or six years' worth of clothing,
00:16:25.190 --> 00:16:28.100
where you can come to the center, and it's like,
00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:31.280
they have brand-new clothing based on ages.
00:16:31.290 --> 00:16:34.170
You can come in and get clothing for them.
00:16:34.180 --> 00:16:36.250
And it's-it's ongoing classes and-and all sorts of classes.
00:16:36.260 --> 00:16:41.240
Some of the girls who are women
00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.190
that come aboard the bus, make a decision for life, they don't...
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.040
They've never even had someone teach them
00:16:46.050 --> 00:16:47.150
how to balance a check... checkbook.
00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:49.130
They don't have a-a father figure in their life
00:16:49.140 --> 00:16:51.240
to teach them things like that.
00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:53.140
And so, we're teaching basic things.
00:16:53.150 --> 00:16:55.090
You know, how to cook a meal, um, and how to be a mom, and
00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:59.080
it's-it's that, like, touching, that-that intimate friendship
00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:03.250
-that's... that happens with these centers... -Mm. Mm.
00:17:03.260 --> 00:17:06.020
...that really leads someone not just,
00:17:06.030 --> 00:17:08.030
um... not just away from a harsh lifestyle,
00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:11.170
-but actually out of poverty. -Yeah.
00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:13.200
And, and into a life of flourishing,
00:17:13.210 --> 00:17:17.020
where they begin to, you know, develop a real spiritual life.
00:17:17.030 --> 00:17:20.120
Want... They want to...
00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:21.190
They want to serve the Lord with their life.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.240
Joe, if you could give advice
00:17:23.250 --> 00:17:26.190
to the 20-year-old version of yourself...
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.000
(chuckles)
00:17:29.010 --> 00:17:30.100
...what would... what would you say?
00:17:30.110 --> 00:17:32.060
I'd want the 20-year-old version of me to go and work for free
00:17:32.070 --> 00:17:35.260
for somebody who... like you.
00:17:35.270 --> 00:17:38.010
For somebody in their 40s or 50s
00:17:38.020 --> 00:17:40.210
who's really already been very successful.
00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:43.090
Why would you tell yourself that?
00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:44.250
'Cause I'm an entrepreneur, and I think
00:17:44.260 --> 00:17:46.200
there would have been just tremendous value in...
00:17:46.210 --> 00:17:49.250
I mean, I-I've made a lot of mistakes in building things.
00:17:49.260 --> 00:17:52.260
And, man, I could've learned a lot of these lessons.
00:17:52.270 --> 00:17:55.230
And now, I'm actually in the place in my life
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.190
where I'm actually thinking,
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.000
"I could help a lot of people not learn these lessons
00:17:59.010 --> 00:18:01.070
that I've learned." You know?
00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:03.050
I don't know if you'd ever learn much from hanging out with me,
00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:05.050
working for me for free... -(laughs)
00:18:05.060 --> 00:18:06.110
But, uh, but... I-I hear what you're saying.
00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:07.220
-PAUL: You could use some help. -That's a great idea.
00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:09.050
-I could mow the lawn, I... -Yeah.
00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:10.270
How about you? What do you think, Paul?
00:18:10.280 --> 00:18:12.000
I would probably, at-at 20 years old,
00:18:12.010 --> 00:18:14.050
I would say to myself or... I would say,
00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:17.180
"Don't try to figure out your life at 20."
00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:20.190
I thought at-at-at 20,
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.280
"I better know what I'm gonna do that day I get that diploma."
00:18:22.290 --> 00:18:25.170
-KIRK: Yeah. -"Because if I don't,
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:27.100
you know, if I don't have my life all mapped out..."
00:18:27.110 --> 00:18:30.060
-That's good advice. -"...what am I gonna do?"
00:18:30.070 --> 00:18:32.150
Don't worry about that!
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.240
You don't have to have your life mapped out.
00:18:33.250 --> 00:18:36.060
Just do what you're supposed to do that day.
00:18:36.070 --> 00:18:38.280
All right, you guys up for a little adventure?
00:18:38.290 --> 00:18:40.130
-Heck, yeah. -Oh, yes. -I got a high-risk situation
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:41.290
that I'd like to put you in.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.230
-JOE: I'm game, let's do it. -You-you took me
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.050
to the top of Garden of the Gods in Colorado.
00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:47.200
And, uh, I'm ready to take you somewhere in California.
00:18:47.210 --> 00:18:50.200
-Ready? -Sounds good. -All right, let's go.
00:18:50.210 --> 00:18:52.000
-I like it, I like it. -All right. -Come on.
00:18:52.010 --> 00:18:53.050
00:18:55.130 --> 00:18:55.140
00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:55.150
00:18:55.150 --> 00:18:57.210
PAUL: Now let me throw this one out at you, Kirk.
00:19:05.110 --> 00:19:08.040
KIRK: Yeah.
00:19:08.050 --> 00:19:09.090
PAUL: Um, how old do you think
00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.260
Isaac was when he was offered as a sacrifice
00:19:10.270 --> 00:19:12.290
when Abraham was...
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.270
Well, he had to be younger than a teenager,
00:19:15.280 --> 00:19:19.050
because if-if he was a teenager,
00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:21.250
it wouldn't have been a sacrifice.
00:19:21.260 --> 00:19:24.020
-I'm just kidding. Just a little joke. -(laughs)
00:19:24.030 --> 00:19:27.050
I was trying to figure that one out.
00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:29.060
It was a joke. It was a te...
00:19:29.070 --> 00:19:30.140
It was a joke about the frustration
00:19:30.150 --> 00:19:32.070
-of teenagers. -PAUL: Ah.
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.190
KIRK: If he was a teenager,
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.070
-it wouldn't have been a sacrifice. -PAUL: Yeah.
00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:36.150
That's good, that's good.
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.200
-Hey, how's it going, guys? -MAN: Hey, guys.
00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:48.220
-Hey, I'm Kirk. Bud? -PAUL: Hey, how you doing?
00:19:48.230 --> 00:19:49.240
Bud. This is DJ.
00:19:49.250 --> 00:19:50.260
-Hey, DJ. Nice to meet you. -Paul?
00:19:50.270 --> 00:19:52.120
-Nice to meet you. -Thank you. -How you doing?
00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:53.240
So, we're-we're here for a little competition.
00:19:53.250 --> 00:19:54.260
We're seeing who's got
00:19:54.270 --> 00:19:56.060
the best Spidey skills.
00:19:56.070 --> 00:19:57.060
-Okay. -Whoosh. Up to the top.
00:19:57.070 --> 00:19:58.200
You know, winner takes all.
00:19:58.210 --> 00:20:00.070
-All right. -Winner takes all.
00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:01.220
-He brings his own harness. -Okay?
00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:03.070
You know what, I'm gonna let you do the...
00:20:03.080 --> 00:20:04.110
He's always prepared.
00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:06.110
-These go under your legs. -I already had it with me, Kirk.
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:08.060
You never know.
00:20:08.070 --> 00:20:10.010
DJ: There we are.
00:20:11.170 --> 00:20:12.250
You're all set.
00:20:14.010 --> 00:20:15.020
These are not all that comfortable.
00:20:15.030 --> 00:20:16.220
You don't look comfortable, Paul.
00:20:16.230 --> 00:20:18.120
(laughs)
00:20:18.130 --> 00:20:19.260
Man was not meant to live like this.
00:20:19.270 --> 00:20:21.150
-(Kirk laughs) -So, what's the...
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.170
what's the race? Are-are...
00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:24.260
We're not going up to race and coming down?
00:20:24.270 --> 00:20:26.220
But you're gonna be staring at me
00:20:26.230 --> 00:20:27.240
because I'm gonna be right above you.
00:20:27.250 --> 00:20:29.060
-(laughs) -You're gonna be staring at my backside.
00:20:29.070 --> 00:20:30.290
I don't care. I just want to look
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.090
-at that right there. -(laughter)
00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:35.170
-I'm just gonna go. -JOE: Yeah.
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:37.180
-Look at that. -So...
00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:52.260
Like a pro. I told you I've been practicing.
00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:55.030
You did great, man.
00:20:55.040 --> 00:20:57.050
All right.
00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:58.160
Hey, Paul!
00:20:58.170 --> 00:20:59.260
PAUL: Hey, Kirk, what was that you said where...
00:20:59.270 --> 00:21:01.140
-KIRK: Wait. Y-Yeah. -...where you were gonna be
00:21:01.150 --> 00:21:03.270
-and where I was gonna be? -This is not a good view.
00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:06.270
Now, listen, what am I supposed to do now?
00:21:06.280 --> 00:21:09.080
You hold this like this and-and sit-sit...
00:21:09.090 --> 00:21:12.200
PAUL: I don't really want to do that now.
00:21:12.210 --> 00:21:13.260
-Sit down. -Hold-hold the plastic
00:21:13.270 --> 00:21:16.040
with two hands.
00:21:16.050 --> 00:21:17.060
PAUL: I don't want to do that.
00:21:17.070 --> 00:21:18.130
-(chuckles) -BUD: It's a matter of trust.
00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:20.090
-I don't think you got a choice. -JOE: I mean, you can stay up.
00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:22.170
Literally, I can't sit. When I let go,
00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:23.270
-what's gonna happen? -BUD: Trust.
00:21:23.280 --> 00:21:25.280
-You're gonna float. You ever see Mary Poppins? -It's...
00:21:25.290 --> 00:21:28.000
-Hey, buddy. -Just put her there.
00:21:28.010 --> 00:21:29.260
(whoops)
00:21:29.270 --> 00:21:31.180
-There you go. -Float.
00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:33.180
Nice!
00:21:33.190 --> 00:21:35.030
(laughs)
00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:37.160
-That was not good. -Way to go!
00:21:37.170 --> 00:21:40.000
-And look at this guy. Look at this guy. -(whoops)
00:21:40.010 --> 00:21:41.280
With the one toe.
00:21:41.290 --> 00:21:43.290
You looked pretty... you looked pretty good going up.
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.160
I'm fine going up. It's that letting go.
00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:47.260
It's all about letting go, Paul. It's all about letting go.
00:21:47.270 --> 00:21:51.040
Are there some dolphins over there?
00:21:51.050 --> 00:21:52.190
-Yeah. Yeah. -Are those dolphins?
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.180
-This isn't a race, right? We're just... -I'm going to look
00:21:59.170 --> 00:22:01.060
at some dolphins from up high.
00:22:01.070 --> 00:22:03.290
-You're stepping on my hand! -(laughter)
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.120
What's he doing?
00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:07.210
-PAUL: He's stepping on my finger! -Oh!
00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:10.050
That's a cheap move, right there.
00:22:10.060 --> 00:22:12.100
-Cheaters don't win. -JOE: Yeah, but whoever's on the top
00:22:12.110 --> 00:22:14.110
steps on everybody else's finger.
00:22:14.120 --> 00:22:15.230
-I thought that was the... -That's how it works?
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.070
That's survival of the fittest, man.
00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:20.200
-Hey! -We did it.
00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:21.280
Okay, now.
00:22:22.290 --> 00:22:25.110
You got it, Paul! You got it, Paul!
00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:27.010
(chuckles) You can do it.
00:22:27.020 --> 00:22:29.010
How will they get us down?
00:22:29.020 --> 00:22:31.090
One, two, three.
00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:32.260
(Paul screams)
00:22:32.270 --> 00:22:34.010
-(whoops) -I want to do the one foot
00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:35.210
-with the one toe like Joe. -(laughs)
00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:37.090
Nice!
00:22:39.110 --> 00:22:40.230
-(laughs): On your marks... -(laughs)
00:22:46.040 --> 00:22:48.080
...get set, go!
00:22:48.090 --> 00:22:50.090
Take it slow.
00:22:51.150 --> 00:22:53.100
All right.
00:22:53.110 --> 00:22:54.290
We can do this.
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.100
-There's, like, loose holds over here. -All right.
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.070
Come on. Come on.
00:23:01.080 --> 00:23:03.110
We got this. All right, we got this.
00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:05.210
-We got this. We got this. -(laughs)
00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:07.160
Holy cow!
00:23:07.170 --> 00:23:09.210
-(laughs) -Ah! Oh!
00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:12.000
-Oh, Paul, that was your... -(Joe whoops)
00:23:12.010 --> 00:23:14.100
That was your chance, Paul.
00:23:14.110 --> 00:23:15.180
-JOE: Yeah! -That was your chance.
00:23:15.190 --> 00:23:16.200
(laughs)
00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:18.250
That was your chance. All right, I'm gonna go back up.
00:23:18.260 --> 00:23:21.060
-I got to beat Paul. -JOE: That was awesome.
00:23:21.070 --> 00:23:22.170
-PAUL: Fight! -I got to beat Paul.
00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:24.170
I can't find a hold.
00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:31.080
(Paul screams)
00:23:39.110 --> 00:23:42.000
(laughs)
00:23:44.110 --> 00:23:46.280
You had your full weight on me.
00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:51.210
-(laughs) -Nice work, guys.
00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:53.290
We had that worked out,
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.070
but it didn't quite go completely as planned.
00:23:55.080 --> 00:23:57.010
-I did it. -He got up faster than I thought he would.
00:23:57.020 --> 00:23:58.250
-Yeah, I trying to hold him down, too. -I was like,
00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:00.180
"Wait a second, all I can grab is his ankle."
00:24:00.190 --> 00:24:02.200
I've never heard a story
00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:19.220
of someone who made a decision for life,
00:24:19.230 --> 00:24:21.240
chose to have a baby,
00:24:21.250 --> 00:24:23.190
and then later on said they regretted it.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.080
