So I'm I'm sorry if it if it seemed a little weird to you.

Here's here's what's going on.

Speaker 1

We've just come up with a new discovery.

Speaker 1

A lot of information that um Reverend, none of his credentials are true.

Speaker 1

Everything is false.

Speaker 1

He's not a minister at all.

Speaker 1

He never was a minister, and every single Wedding ceremony that he officiated is basically null and void.

Speaker 1

So I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you and Al Thea, even though you think you've been married for nine years, you guys are not married at all.

Speaker 2

No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2

You gotta have the wrong person.

Speaker 2

Because me and that there, we got we are married about nine years ago, and we're

Speaker 2

the party.

Speaker 1

What I'm telling you is he does he's he never was ordained.

Speaker 1

He's never been an ordained minister.

Speaker 1

He's not a minister at all.

Speaker 1

So when he performed this ceremony, your wedding ceremony, he had no right to be doing that.

Speaker 1

You guys are not are not married.

Speaker 1

You know, you guys have been living in sin for nine years.

Speaker 2

Hold on, hold hold on that.

Speaker 2

Let me tell you something.

Speaker 2

I ain't been living in no sin.

Speaker 2

Me and my wife, we have been married for nine years, and that man, he's a preacher.

Speaker 2

I'm telling you, he's a preacher.

Speaker 2

I already preached last Sunday.

Speaker 1

Sir, as of today, he isn't he has no right to be in anybody's pulpit.

Speaker 1

He has no right to be officiating, whether it's weddings or funerals, no matter what it is, christenings for children.

Speaker 1

He's not allowed to do that, and we have uh officially stopped him from doing anything, serving under uh uh as being a pastor or a minister.

Speaker 1

We have stopped that.

Speaker 1

But what I want you to know is that you have been living in sin.

Speaker 1

And you don't uh you're we want to try and get you guys married as soon as possible, so you're not living in sin.

Speaker 2

Oh no, Doug, I ain't been living in no sin.

Speaker 2

I have been married for nine years.

Speaker 2

This woman, she has been taking care of me and my kids for the past nine years.

Speaker 1

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

Speaker 1

Wait a minute.

Speaker 1

You guys have you guys have children?

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, we we got two two kids, two beautiful kids.

Speaker 1

Okay, then those kids are bastards.

Speaker 2

Hold on, hold on, let me tell you something.

Speaker 2

My kids ain't no bastards.

Speaker 2

What about your kids?

Speaker 2

Your kids are bastards?

Speaker 1

No, sir.

Speaker 1

My kid, my kids were born in wedlock.

Speaker 1

Your kids have been born out of wedlock.

Speaker 2

I'm telling you, that man did my service.

Speaker 2

And he is a preacher.

Speaker 2

He's a man after God's own heart himself.

Speaker 2

He done done everything that he could for me and my family.

Speaker 2

He is a preacher.

Speaker 1

Sir, I I don't I I know it's hard for you to to to swallow the truth, but I want you to know and I need you to be able to tell Alphea that you guys are not married.

Speaker 1

I'm not as of right now.

Speaker 2

No.

Speaker 2

No.

Speaker 2

Okay, so hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2

Now, back in the olden days, but before all these all these colleges and stuff came came about, you telling me that them men back in the old days that they wasn't no preachers, that they weren't me men after the call.

Speaker 2

Is that what you say to me?

Speaker 1

Uh what what do you what do you what are you what are you getting at, sir?

Speaker 2

What I'm trying to say is back in the olden days, back in the twenties and thirties, they didn't have all these colleges and all these degrees and stuff like these new preachers got these days.

Speaker 2

That man now, he was from back then, and God called them, and that's what they went on to.

Speaker 2

And all them people that they married back then, they did the same thing today.

Speaker 2

You don't need no degree to say that that you're a preacher.

Speaker 2

You don't need no lights to say you're a preacher.

Speaker 2

Me and my wife, we've been married for nine years.

Speaker 2

My kids have been born in wedlock.

Speaker 2

We were married.

Speaker 2

We were married by reverend.

Speaker 2

My friends and family, they was all there.

Speaker 1

Sir, the bottom line is that you have been living in sin because you have not been married with your wife for the last nine years.

Speaker 1

And your kids I I I hate to say it, your kids are bastards.

Speaker 2

Now, hold on now, I done told you.

Speaker 2
