Guaranteed Human hey, it's Bobby Bones. You know Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah, in Nashville. It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence?
Yeah Organization Representative
Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up.

Sam and Kevin, so good to see you.
Kevin Sorbo
Good to see you too.
Sam Sorbo
And longtime friends, let's say also.
Chemaine Nugent
Yes, yes. So I get to have you guys for two segments and I want to talk about your upcoming trip to Greece, but let's backtrack a little bit and talk about Hollywood and spiritual warfare. Light topics when you both first arrived. Sam, we'll start with you. Ladies first. When you arrived in Hollywood, was your faith. Were you discouraged to talk about your faith?
Sam Sorbo
Wow, that's a. That's a loaded question. When I arrived in Hollywood, I had no faith. It took me probably almost a year out there before I started on a journey and found Christianity and decided that I a Christian. So initially there was no issue. But I will say that when I decided that I needed to go to church, I looked at a friend of mine who I'd known for several months, and I said, would. Would I be able to go to church with you? Do you go to church? Actually, I just asked her if she went to church and she looked at me like I was crazy because you did not ask somebody out there if they went to church. But it turned out she did and, and I went to her church and that the rest of the story. But yeah, there's a bit of a. There's a lot of an antagonism against faith out there, unless it's of the occult or sort of those kinds of things, Satanism or whatever. If it's Christianity, it's sort of not accepted.
Chemaine Nugent
What about you, Kevin? Was faith welcomed or discouraged?
Kevin Sorbo
You know, I've been a person of faith my whole life. I've always been a Christian and I've always been a conservative. So if it came up on sets, like whether it was shooting a commercial or shooting a TV show or something, it never really came up. When it did come up, it wasn't. I didn't have. I didn't feel any animosity or people just had. There was more of a curiosity factor with the people on either side of the camera. It really started changing. And I got to say the Obama years really started changing. And by 2012, 2013, it became a big deal. And actually she started telling me to be careful what I'm posting. I said, well, I'm posting the truth. I'm not posting it's sarcastic truth, but it's the truth. She said, they're going to come after you. And they did. And I got booted out. I got the blacklist from Hollywood a long, long time ago, where studios and networks didn't want to work more simply because conservative and Christian, that's like kryptonite to them. That's like a double leopard to the rest of Hollywood. So we formed Sorbo Studios and he said, well, I love the industry, let's keep doing what we're doing on our own. And by that point I'd already done a couple faith based movies like what if and God's Not Dead, so. And Soul Surfer. So I. Those are the kind of movies, I said, I want to make more movies like this because Hollywood doesn't really want to do these kind of movies. They want to do movies that are filled with hate and violence and sex and more hate and violence and sex. So we're kind of getting away from that and doing the stuff that Hollywood used to do.
Chemaine Nugent
Now, I've never asked you guys this. I've known you for a while, a few years now. Are you familiar with foa, Gary Sinise's Friends of abe? Were you familiar with that?
Kevin Sorbo
We're probably the, we're probably members 10 and 11. We were like at the very top of the whole thing. Gary, I've known Gary for a long, long time. And I was doing a charity golf event, we're on Palm Springs. And Gary heard me say something and he goes back in 2004, 2005, I mean it was, it was still in the infancy of it. And he takes me like we're at a country club. He takes me to the corner of the country club like we're doing a drug deal. And he says, hey man, are you conservative? And I go, why are we whispering about this? Oh yes, I'm a conservative. He goes, well, we're starting this thing, FOA and he told me that in the gay community in West Hollywood, gay community everywhere, probably they go, are you friends of Dorothy's with the wizard of Oz? So that was a way of finding out if you're gay or not. Well, here there's. Let's do foa, Friends of Abe, Abe Lincoln to find out, our first conservative president, first Republican president. So that's how it started. It got built up to about 2500, 2600 strong. And they did what they wanted to do, but it disbanded about 10 years ago because they did, you know, hey, look, these, all these people, whether they're lawyers, whether they're directors of photography, Whether they're actors. These people are looking for a home because we'd be going to these meetings. Go.
Spreaker Representative
You're.
Kevin Sorbo
You're one, too.
Chemaine Nugent
But it wasn't. It was. It was discouraged to talk about publicly. Guess who inducted me into foa? You're not gonna guess. Andrew Breitbart. Oh, yeah.
Kevin Sorbo
Oh, sure. Andrew was a. Andrew. Yeah.
Chemaine Nugent
Still have his. His number in my. In my phone. But I remember Rocco was going on auditions, and they literally said, you know, you go show up for the audition. State your name. Your full name. And he said, rocco Nugent. And they said, oh, Nugent, like Ted. And he went, yeah. And they went next. So that's when I first. I don't know why, how I got in touch with Andrew, but we started talking about that and we went to a couple of the events and. Yeah. Anyways. Incredible. Incredible. Yeah. So I want to ask you guys, do you feel like. Sam, you'd mentioned that you weren't talking openly about your faith when you first went there. Do you see that when people, when actors, celebrities, when their faith, when their careers collapse, do they suddenly cling on to faith? Have you noticed that?
Sam Sorbo
And I don't know, it's sort of like, which came first, the chicken or the egg? So, yeah, probably both ways. I have noticed that a little bit. I think what happens is when somebody comes out with their faith, they tend to be less. Less interesting to the press. And so the press sort of starts to ignore them a little bit, and then it sort of snowballs. And so that's what we've seen with. Is it Shia LaBeouf and. And some of the other getting more vocal, bigger names, getting more vocal about their. Their faith, and then becoming Persona non gratas. Angus, what's his last name? Williams or something from Two Men and Two and a Half Men, things like that.
Kevin Sorbo
You know, you played the half a man on it. Yeah, he was his son.
Sam Sorbo
When they become vocal, the media doesn't want to write about them. And that's part of the deal, because it's a psyop. The media wants us to believe certain things, and those things are not necessarily real. In fact, many of those things are not just false, but evil and dangerous. And of course, we're trained in school to think that the media is not biased. Do you remember that lie in school? And so we give the media trust,
Chemaine Nugent
the media trust, the government benefit of the doubt.
Sam Sorbo
Oh, they're not biased. They're trained to be not biased. As if. And so we find ourselves in these circumstances, and I Think that we can take a little bit of solace in the idea that there are a lot more faith filled people out there than we will be led to believe.
Kevin Sorbo
Well, let me throw my two cents there because you see with a lot of athletes now, whether professional football, professional basketball, whatever they may be, golfers have come out after they've won an event or been part of a winning team, and they'll say, I want to thank God, college athletes. And I know probably drives the networks crazy and ESPN crazy, but I love the fact more people are vocal about it. And I got to tell you, the last 10 years, every movie I do, I'll get. If it's not one person, it's a dozen people during that photo, that film shoot coming up to me individually saying, hey, man, thanks for being a voice for us. And they're talking about not just being conservative, but being Christians as well. And I tell them, be bold and be, you know, stand up for your faith. So. And a couple of them have done that one. I got to say his name. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna bring out the other names because they still wanna hide in the shadows a little bit. But Neil McDonough, I shot a movie with Neil two years ago. I directed him in it. Samson movie Left Behind, Rise of the Antichrist, based on the Left behind books,
Sam Sorbo
is a faith film.
Kevin Sorbo
People need to see that movie. And I looked at Neil and I said, neil, you're a huge star. People know who you are. And you are already open about your faith. You're already open about being conservative. Be more open about. Don't be afraid. He got rid of his manager and agent on his own. He's working all the time. He says, I'm working more now than I was before.
Sam Sorbo
Well, I think he, I think he thought that his manager wouldn't represent him anymore.
Kevin Sorbo
Yeah.
Sam Sorbo
And so he kind of preempted that said, you know what? Why am I messing around like this? And it's, it's exciting when people take a bold step for the truth. And so that's, that's why I always encourage people speak truth, speak it boldly.
Chemaine Nugent
Yep, I love that. Well, can you both stick around one more segment?
Kevin Sorbo
Sure.
Chemaine Nugent
Okay, don't go away, everyone. We'll be right back.
Ted Nugent

Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. Check it out. What's the Dream for yeah in the next few years?
Yeah Organization Representative
We would love to have more consistent programming during the weekend. Our Rock Block program is dependent on funding venues that are available to host band based programming. We would love to extend the camp to a second consecutive week so that kids can go a little bit deeper into what they've created during the first week camp. And we'd love to expand our programming to offer more industry related skills like audio, lighting, production, recording so that kids can be on a track to see where what they may create with an instrument can lead, but also to welcome those that may not want to be on stage but lack the opportunity at school to have an entry point into music.

when you're diagnosed with cancer you crave a semblance of normalcy and control and so work allowed me to be me. So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.
Kevin Sorbo
Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery. We can make work a better place for healing.

Chemaine Nugent
Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Okay, imagine this. You step out of the shower and you reach for a towel. But then you realize that your favorite towel, the one that's thick and absorbent and the one that you always grab? It's in the wash. So now you're stuck with two other options. The fluffy one that looks nice but doesn't absorb. Or worse, the thin, scratchy towel that feels like sandpaper. That's why I love my pillow towels. They're actually designed to absorb water the way a towel should. And while we're talking, comfort pick. Picture your dog settling down for the night, and they curl up in their bed. And do your dogs do this? They start shifting around, circling, trying to get comfortable. Most dog beds look soft, but inside they're flat and lumpy and they're worn out after a few washes. That's why we love the Mypillow dog beds. They're made with the same supportive fill that Mike Lindell uses for his famous pillows. So your dog actually gets real support and comfort. And while you're there, go to mypillow.com, use the promo code Faith, pick up some dream sheets and slippers and blankets and of course, those incredible towels. MyPillow.com use the promo code Shamaine. I gotta double check that. I think it's Shemaine. Or you could call 1-800-promo code Faith, promo code Faith, 1-800-969-3137 for a discount. Okay. We're back with Sam and Kevin Sorbo. My friends. Kevin, I want to start with you this time. I started with Sam, last segment. So you've spoken. Spent years bringing ancient Greece to life on the screen as Hercules. Now you're literally walking the same land where the apostle Paul preached the gospel. So does it feel surreal? Let's talk about your upcoming tour to Greece. Does it feel surreal going from playing a Greek legend to exploring the history of early Christianity in the same place?
Kevin Sorbo
Well, you know, I gotta show a quick plugin for my Hercules series for seven years. You know, it's. The writers actually put in good moral messages into that mythological world. But I grew up in the biblical world, so Sam and I have been to Greece a number of times. Not to Greece, we've been to Israel a number of times. And we've taken people to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Well, last year we did Greece and we walked in the footsteps of the apostle Paul. It was phenomenal. We're doing again this year with a little twist. Not only will everybody fly into Athens and hang out a few days like the Acropolis and see some wonderful areas that Paul was there, but we're going to get on a boat and we're going to take a cruise. We're going up to Ephesus, we're going to Santa Rico, Philippi, we're going to Crete, we're going to Mykonos. So it's. It's September 23rd through October 5th. That's September 23rd through October 5. Go to Sorbo. Our last names cruise Sorbocruise like a boat cruise dot com. Sign up right now because it's going to be an amazing trip.
Sam Sorbo
Yeah, so when we went to Greece, that, that last year was just. It's so moving. It's so fascinating to the actual biblical names and Biblical record carved into stones that you can almost reach out and touch. Not allowed to touch them anymore because, you know, fingerprints and all that stuff. But it's just. It's. It's really so spiritual of a journey. And I will also say the food is amazing. So Greece is just an amazing trip. I think it's a bucket list item for a lot of people. And so we decided to do it again with a bit of a larger group this time, and. And then throw the cruise in there so that we could get over to Turkey and visit Ephesus and Philippi and really see the places. I mean, we walked on Mars Hill. That's one of the places where we know that Paul preached. It was amazing. And so I just. We want to bring it to more people. We had. And by the way, the groups that we bring, it's just such a collection of amazing Christian people. It's really wonderful. So we encourage you to join us. You should join us also.
Kevin Sorbo
Please sign up right now.
Chemaine Nugent
I was thinking about it, so save me a spot. I highly doubt I can get my husband to join, but that would be amazing. I've never been to Greece, and, yeah, I would probably go just for the food and of course, to walk in the same footsteps. I mean, I can't even imagine how surreal that must feel. I mean, I just bumped.
Kevin Sorbo
I got to tell you, playing Hercules, Yes, I got recognized a lot in Greece. I was as famous as Ted Nugent when I was there.
Chemaine Nugent
Okay, so we've talked about your tour in Greece and the early years in Hollywood. Now you've got Sorbo Studios. What are the projects you've been working on and what. What's coming up for you guys? I know you're always busy. You're always working on something.
Kevin Sorbo
You know, I've been fortunate. I've already shot three movies this year. We shot one movie together. It's called the Flood, the Fall of Mankind. And yes, it's a Noah movie. I play Noah. She plays my wife, Miriam. That movie comes out October 2nd.
Sam Sorbo
The real Noah.
Kevin Sorbo
The Real Noah, yeah. It's better than the one that Russell Crowe did, trust me. But it's a wonderful movie coming out in October, so I hope people will check that out. And then I also have a documentary that's on Amazon right now that I highly recommend to people. It's called Standing against the World. And I worked with apologist John Lennox, who's a retired math professor out of Oxford. We shot Three Weeks in Oxford, two Weeks in Israel. And it's an amazing way to learn how to defend your faith. I call it Apologetics for Dummies. Like me, this guy's debated the greatest atheists in the world, like Dawkins and Singer and Hitchens, and he destroys them with love and kindness. And he sounds like.
Sam Sorbo
He does sound a little bit like Winnie the Pooh.
Spreaker Representative
Yes, he does.
Sam Sorbo
He has a great. Yeah, he's a. He's a highly intelligent, you know, mathematician at Oxford. I mean, those, those are credentials are amazing.
Kevin Sorbo
He's got like six doctorates.
Sam Sorbo
What's astonishing and I. This goes to our earlier conversation, Shemaine is most people don't really know his name, but they know Hickens and Doc Dos. Sorry, Dawkins, Dawkins, Dawkins and Hitchens. And Stinger is the other one. Stinger. And isn't that interesting?
Kevin Sorbo
Yeah, you know, the atheist names, but not the guy who was one of the greatest apologists, debaters of all time.
Sam Sorbo
And by the way, I'll just to tie it in for people, if you saw the movie God's Not Dead and you enjoyed it, much of God's Not Dead, much of the apologetics arguments that the boy gives in God's Not Dead were taken from Lennox's own writings. And so you can go straight to the source where Kevin interviews him in this fabulous documentary and, and get up close and personal with him.
Kevin Sorbo
Standing against the world dot com. So you got two things to know. Standing against the world dot com and sorbocruise dot com Join us and join us in Greece. You will be blown away by what this trip's going to do for you.
Sam Sorbo
It's going to be great. Also, go to sorbo studios.com and sign up for our newsletter so that we can stay in touch and keep you apprised of all the different trips that we have. We are, we are planning a trip to Israel again in 2027. So that's on the website as well
Kevin Sorbo
as, as well as the Greece trip
Sam Sorbo
is on there, the Grease trip is on there and lots of other things and lots of merchandise too, if they're interested in any books or homeschooling, which I always have to put a plug in for homeschooling, because that's the only way to get it done. It's the best way to get it done. And it's so many more people are homeschooling today. And of course, I'm sure you've seen the meme that's out there that, you know, it used to be that you, your kids were going to be weird if you, if you homeschooled them and now it's sort of like, well, if you don't homeschool them, they'll probably be weird.
Kevin Sorbo
Probably be weird. If you're going through public schools and universities for the last 20 years, good luck. You got a long. You got a big hole to dig yourself out of.
Chemaine Nugent
I would not send my kids to university these days. I mean, it's incredible. And Sam, quickly, can you talk about what it is? I know you, you're highly involved in reforming education now and talking about homeschooling.
Sam Sorbo
Yeah. So of course I support homeschooling because school will never beat homeschooling. And the, the statistics prove that. Now the results are in, and the number of people who are homeschooling now are making it much more mainstream. It's much easier than, than it, it's always been easy. It's just that people are waking up to the fact that it's actually easy. And that school itself is kind of a psyop that was done on the American people to think that they, to believe that they needed school in order to get an education. And of course, now we see that schools are failing to educate full stop. And so what are they doing? They're just schooling, meaning they're transing kids, they're grooming children, they're showing them porn and all of that. And so when you finally come to realize that you cannot keep your children safe by sending them to a stranger for instruction, you start to keep them home and you say, you know what, I don't really care how the rest of it turns out because I just want my kids to be safe, which is kind of what I did when we started with our oldest. And so that's what I do. I empower parents to take, take on the education of their children themselves as, as it is written in the Bible, because I didn't make this up. This is from the Bible. And so, yeah, I just make it easier for people. I've written several books on it. If you just go check out the website sorbostudios.com, you'll find all the books, all the information, all the curricula that I recommend. There is great curriculum out there and it's not that difficult to find, but I have it on the website to make it even easier for you.
Kevin Sorbo
And I like to remind people all the time that our founding fathers were homeschooled and the Bible was their school book. And pretty smart guys is all I want to say.
Sam Sorbo
Yeah, you know, if I have A minute, I'll tell you, we just saw. What was the movie we saw? Awakening, Awaken America, something like that.
Kevin Sorbo
Sight and Sound Studios.
Sam Sorbo
Sight and Sound Studios Film. It's coming out next week. We saw a sneak peek and man, that movie is so good.
Chemaine Nugent
Filmed and produced by homeschoolers. No, I'm waiting for a tie in. I homeschooled Rocco for a few years and I loved it. I mean, I can see I'm not good at math. So back then, Rocco's. Now he's gonna be 36 this year. But back then, what we did was I collaborated with some other parents who were doing the same thing. And there was one woman who knew math and science, so she took the math and science. I took the kids for English and gym. And, you know, it all works out and you get to spend more time with them.
Sam Sorbo
Yeah, yeah. And frankly, it's not about the math and it's not about the science. It's about the development of the character of your child in the long run. Because in the long run, we forget the Pythagorean theorem and we forget the other things.
Chemaine Nugent
I know, I know. Well, Sam and Kevin, thank you so much for joining me. And like I said, come back anytime, please. And especially when your next movie comes out in October. But I hope you guys come and visit us in Texas.
Kevin Sorbo
We'd love to.
Sam Sorbo
That'd be awesome.
Kevin Sorbo
Thank you.
Chemaine Nugent

Hey, it's Bobby Bones from the Bobby Bones Show. You know, Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah. In Nashville. It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. Check it out. What's the dream for? Yeah, in the next few years, we
Yeah Organization Representative
would love to have more consistent programming during the weekend. Our Rock Block program is dependent on funding venues that are available to host band based programming. We would love to extend the camp to a second, second consecutive week so that kids can go a little bit deeper into what they've created during the first week camp. And we'd love to expand our programming to offer more industry related skills like audio, lighting, production, recording. So that kids can be on a track to see where what they may create with an instrument can lead, but also to welcome those that that may not want to be on stage but lack the opportunity at school to have an entry point into music.

Relish the opportunity to be an outsider, because it's the outsiders who change the world.
Chemaine Nugent
Perhaps you were born for such a time as this.
Kevin Sorbo
This.
Chemaine Nugent
I'm joined now by my husband Ted and Brian. Brian is the mad scientist behind Get Uncle Ted's. Brian, welcome.
Kevin Sorbo
Welcome.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
How are you guys doing?
Chemaine Nugent
We're doing great. And we've got Jackson down here, so,
Ted Nugent
yeah, Jackson, Sadie and Coco. Brian, is it not the truest celebration in life? That quality of life comes from our dogs? Is that not what we're celebrating here?
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
It's all about the dogs. I think there's even studies out there that show people with dogs have less depression and less anxiety or happier people.
Chemaine Nugent
Yeah, it lowers your, your blood pressure, lowers your heart rate, and yeah, it helps us with depression. And it's not that he has any, but it's all about the dogs. And Brian, I wanted to, I wanted you to come on because we're so proud to partner with you and provide people with supplements. Here's our dog, Jackson. Hi, buddy. He says he loves the. Get Uncle Ted's pets. But tell everybody why this is so special. What, what are bioflavonoids?
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
So with adding the bioflavonoids to any ingredients, it helps it make it more bioavailable to the body. So when people see on TV quercetin, or why they don't, why they use an orange or a grapefruit, it's because the bioflavonoids in those actual fruits and vegetables and the nerogen that you get from citrus, from grapefruit, from oranges, that is an antioxidant. It's an anti inflammatory. We have fistin, we have Epicatcherone. So all these things that we're used to eating and used to being part of our diet, the same as what used to be the dog's diet is gone. And so a healthy diet means eating fruit, eating vegetables, as well as other items. But those fruit and vegetables give us the flavonoids, and those flavonoids help with the antioxidants. And for your dog, people don't realize, and I'm sure Ted, when he's out running the dogs, you'll see the dogs eat grass, you'll see them eat in a garden. They'll eat parsley. They love eating anything green. And part of that is the flavonoids they're getting. And that's what they would naturally get in their normal diet outside. But unfortunately, dogs don't get that. And unfortunately, a lot of dogs get a lot of processed food, which kind of mess up their stomach and their bodies. And so we develop products with the flavonoids to put in so then Ted can make sure his dogs, and Jackson specifically has the bioflavonoids and the longevity. I mean, the thing is, we always want to live life longer, but if we can get our dogs to live life longer, I think that everybody be happy with that.
Ted Nugent
It's no coincidence that many, many people are waking up that the government made sure that the food pyramid was upside down. And basically chemical warfare. I mean, what is it? 99% of the stuff on the store shelves in the human food department. A scam is literally chemical warfare. Poisons, preservatives, colorings, dyes, proven carcinogenics. Good grief. But we love our dogs. Well, first of all, we love us more than anything, so we make sure we have a healthy diet. Hence the wildlife. Venice is. And the spirit of the wild is the rocket fuel for the soul. But we discovered that most of the foods, most of the dog foods and the supplements and the treats were absolutely toxic. So we seek mad scientists when it comes to developing our bows and arrows and our guns and our bullets and our food. We have a bunch of mad scientists in Wisconsin that create whitetail products gone wild dot com. We're gonna put that on the screen because we want our wildlife to have healthy food without the chemical warfare and the sprays and the preservatives and the pesticides. But now with Get Uncle Ted's, please everybody tell everybody you know that loves their dogs, go to getuncleteds.com because Brian, you guys have created a natural, organic, healthy, beneficial supplement for dogs that literally will let the you see the testimonies we get. Our dog is more uppity, more spirited, more feisty, more energetic. Dogs will live longer with this natural supplement, won't they?
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
Yeah, they'll live longer. It'll help extend their life. The, the wellness tincture with the flavonoids is going to give the dog more life. You got the quercetin in that's going to help with any worms or parasites that it may have to overcome that. And the thing is, the, the product is made all human grade. And I have right here one of. Ted, one of your. The chews are you gonna take it the choose? Oh, heck yes. I eat these all the time.
Chemaine Nugent
Okay. So I was gonna do that the other day and I thought I better check with Brian first. Okay.
Ted Nugent
It's all good stuff.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
Oats, peanut butter, flavonoids. Yeah, it's all delicious for you.
Chemaine Nugent
There you go. And you know, while you're chewing, Brian, I have to, I have to tell you, when this first came about, about a year ago, I said I got to see what the ingredients are. I'm a label reader. I gotta try it slowly. We tried it with our dogs and Coco, our German shepherd, about two years ago, she was going to the bathroom and screamed because her tail is actually fused to her hip. And the vet at the time said she's going to need hip replacement. Well, fast forward. After taking Uncle Ted's pets supplements, she's running. It's amazing.
Kevin Sorbo
Yeah.
Ted Nugent
You see this whistle around my neck, Brian? I literally run my dogs every day. Sadie, Coco and Happy and, well, Happy. We have a memorial for Happy, but Jackson has replaced Happy. We wish we would have got get Uncle Ted's while Happy was alive because he only lived to be 12. I've never been without a dog in 77 years. I'm an uppity, very spirited, high energy, rather buoyant individual. And I attribute that to the quality of people I've surrounded myself with all my life. Being clean and sober, taking good care of my sacred temple. But equally the uppity ness, the fun, the love, the licks, the snuggles, the retrieving, the pheasants, the woodcock, the grouse, the squirrels, the rabbits that we hunt, that my dogs just go berserk when I get up in the morning, put my pants on because they know something's gonna die so. So that they can fetch it. So my dogs live the happiest dog life in the world. And what you guys have done. We thank you, Brian, because we eagerly sought natural, healthy ingredients for our dogs. And you guys came through. Thank you. And the testimonies. Go to bed at night, Brian, with a smile on your face. That this product you have created, get uncleted.com has literally brought increased happiness, health and uppiness, feisty friskiness in people who love our dogs. So thank you for that.
Spreaker Representative
That.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
No problem at all, Ted. And the other thing we have is your ear. Clear is coming out.
Ted Nugent
I need to use that.
Chemaine Nugent
So you said the human grid. Can he use that too?
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
By labeling standards, we have to say no. But by product definition, ingredients, yes. But that, that's going to Be Ted for all your hunters out there. So your. Your labs with getting in the water, getting out of water, your German shepherds with the ears pointed up, this is what they need to be using. One of the rescue dogs that we had, one of the shepherds here in Florida, she gets the rain in the summertime, and the rain just goes right in the ears. That prevents the rain rot. It prevents them itching. It's going to be a phenomenal product for your hunters out there that have all the wild hunting dogs.
Chemaine Nugent
We definitely need that. Our dog Sadie has always had ear problems, but our German shepherd. Ted's going to tell you.
Ted Nugent
I can't wait to tell you.
Chemaine Nugent
Our German shepherd duck hunter.
Ted Nugent
Oh, we gotta get footage. You gotta get your team the footage of Coco. Coco, since she was a puppy, she would watch Happy and Gonzo or other labs, and she would watch them because I never go hunting without all my dogs or they'd be heartbroken. And the German shepherd as a puppy would watch the other dogs and she'd tilt her head and they get all excited when the ducks came in. And literally the next season, when she was just a year old, I trained her every day with the retriever dummies. And cocoa is the word. World's greatest German shepherd duck hunting dog you've ever seen. So with her ears up in the air like that, this new Get Uncle Ted's product will be very beneficial.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
That ear drop will help big time.
Kevin Sorbo
Yep.
Chemaine Nugent
That's amazing.
Ted Nugent
I'm gonna get some for my drummer. Gotta get some for my drummer.
Chemaine Nugent
And. And let's try it out first, though, honey, huh? Let's try it out first.
Ted Nugent
Jackson's got it. He's down here right now. He's fetching antlers. He's a feisty.
Chemaine Nugent
Yes, he's trained well.
Ted Nugent
Yes, he's trained well. So are my musicians. But the point is. The point is that we love our dogs so much when we knew that the stuff on the shelf was not good for them. Get uncleteds.com is where people should go if they want their dogs to be healthier, more spirited, I think more obedient, because they pay more attention. They get natural ingredients like this.
Chemaine Nugent
It saved Coco's life. I mean, it's really saved. Both Sadie and Coco literally were having a hard time walking, and they've been on these products and they're running. It's amazing.
Ted Nugent
You should have seen Coco this morning. I got a squirrel with my suppressed.22 and Jackson's going so crazy. He's running around looking all for It. But Coco very methodically went right to the squirrel and brought it to me. German shepherd retriever. She's the greatest dog in the world.
Chemaine Nugent
Yes, yes.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
Changing the breed altogether.
Chemaine Nugent
Yeah. She doesn't know. She's not a lab. You know, she saw our other labs swimming. Although you did tell me one time that when you took them duck hunting, the two labs and Coco the German shepherd, that you would shoot a duck for each dog and then they would swim to the opposite side of the pond. And one time you told me that Coco was like, why are you guys swimming there? I'll just walk around the pond.
Ted Nugent
Yeah, she did. She walked from the other side of the pond. But here's the most beautiful thing of all, and I mean this with all love and respect. I can train a German shepherd to be a duck hunter. And when I met Chemain, she was a city girl and I trained her to be the greatest bow hunter in the world. So I can. I can upgrade everybody's quality of life with the spirit of the wild.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
There you go. Well, and there's one other thing to say. Sorry.
Chemaine Nugent
Go ahead.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
The one thing, Ted, you know, we grow all of our plants on our facility and extract the bioflavonoids from them and put them in the product. So there's not going to be any other place where you're going to know the products you're giving to your dogs are grown and extracted right there and made right there. There's no middleman or anything like that.
Ted Nugent
Hands on dog lovers. Creating quality dog products. That's. Thank you for that, Brian.
Chemaine Nugent
Brian, thank you so much for joining us here and everybody watching. Go to getuncleteds.com and order yours today, not tomorrow. Today.
Ted Nugent
Great gift for people in your life that love their dog.
Chemaine Nugent
You can. Brian showed. I mean, I'm, I almost. I was tempted to eat it, too, Brian, but now that you. Because it's got peanut butter and coconut oil in it. Why not?
Ted Nugent
Good boy.
Chemaine Nugent
All right, everybody, thank you so much for joining us.
Brian (Get Uncle Ted's Developer)
No problem.
Chemaine Nugent
I'll be right back. Stay tuned.
Ted Nugent
I love you. Relish the opportunity to be an outsider, because it's the outsiders who change the world.
Chemaine Nugent
Perhaps you were born for such a time as this. Okay, let's talk about one of the most fascinating couples in modern American history. John F. Kennedy, Jr. The Prince of America's most famous political family. And Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, the elegant Calvin Klein publicist who suddenly found herself at the center of the world's attention. Everywhere they went, just walking their dogs, going in the park cameras followed them. The paparazzi chased them through Manhattan, and photos of them simply walking down the street became front page news. But the real question is, what were they actually like in person? Because sometimes the people that we see in magazines seem so much larger than life and almost untouchable and how beautiful they both were. And then something happens that reminds you that they're just people. And I remember the day that Ted got a call from John Jr. And honestly, I was giddy. John had started a magazine called George, which was a really unique concept at the time because it blended politics with pop culture and celebrities. And he asked Ted to write an article for it. And think about that for a second. The son of President John F. Kennedy calling my husband. I was starstruck at that time, and I don't get starstruck. And then not long after that, we were invited to New York to spend some time with John and Carolyn at a dinner. And it was one of those moments where I thought, but, wow, that escalated quickly in a good way. And I remember being just as excited to meet Carolyn because she had this reputation where she's kind of mysterious, very stylish, very beautiful, very New York. And a friend recommended. I'll never forget, we're going to the dinner, and I'm like, what do I wear? What do I wear? Girls would know what I'm talking about. And a friend recommended that I wear this strappy dress, which for me was not something typical that I would wear. And I thought, okay, maybe that's what they wear in New York. But I remember seeing Carolyn and regretting my. My clothing choice, because she was just the definition of classy and elegant and sophisticated. And she had a. It was a simple black top with. It was kind of a high neckline and nothing fleshy at all. And somehow she just made it look more stylish than anything in the room. And John was, well, exactly what everyone thought about him. And everyone says just handsome. But you know what? There's something more than that, than what both of them had. They had warmth. And when John spoke to you, he smiled. And it wasn't just like, I can. I've met a lot of people, and I'll tell you, a lot of people, obviously, because of my husband, because of who I'm married to, and say, we go someplace. And Ted will say, this is my wife. And they'll go to shake my hand. They're shaking my hand, but they go like this. They're not even looking at me. They're not even paying attention. I get That a lot. Probably 30, 30% of the time, some people are good. They're good people to meet, and they make eye contact with you. And some people just are there for the ride. John and Carolyn, I could tell they, you know, it's something that people often say about how you can tell how other people are by the way that they make you feel. And John and Carolyn just made us feel welcome. Like, we're not the New York type. We don't have any New York friends, a couple here and there. But we would only go because Ted was touring there, playing a concert there, and we liked the food there, but we would never really go and visit. And it just seemed like we were kind of out of place. But with John and Carolyn at this big dinner for George magazine, we felt welcome. And even, you know, Ted was wearing. He wears what he wants to wear. And I'm like, ted, you gotta wear. You gotta have a sport coat. And I'll never forget, somebody had made him a sport coat with camouflage shoulders and zebra. He had one with camouflage and one with zebra. And so he wore the one with zebra. And this picture was before Ted got his teeth fixed and he wore a baseball cap. Like, really? But you know what? But you could tell, like, by the smile on their faces that it was okay. They accepted everybody. And I really appreciate that. And it goes a long way when you're with somebody and you feel welcome even though you're an outsider. And that just struck me about how genuinely friendly both of them were. There was no arrogance and no sense that, you know, oh, you know, sophistication. I have met celebrities, I could tell you, and I. I know you know who they are, but I won't mention names that were not welcoming. We're not friendly. And John and Carolyn were engaging and curious and they asked questions and they laughed. So, yeah, it was a good evening. It was a good night. And it's something that always stayed with me because sometimes when people grow up in that amount of fame, like, I'm surrounded. I'm kind of an outsider looking in, watching how people really relate to Ted. And Ted's very down to earth. And just seemed like, I'm just sharing my thoughts with you. John and Carolyn were very down to earth, even though someone like John Kennedy Jr. Could feel stuck up and distant, but he really didn't. So the reason I'm telling you all of this is because there's a new series out called Love Story that explores the relationship between John and Carolyn and Ted. And I just started watching it last night. We already watched two episodes and I gotta say, I'm loving it. The acting is fantastic because you know, of course you're gonna go, wow, who do they get to play John and Carolyn and Jackie? Can you imagine the. But they nailed it. The casting is spot on and it really captures a lot about that era, the fascination that people had with this couple. It felt like they were American royalty. So I highly recommend watching the Love Story. Or I think it's just Love Story. All right, guys, a couple of announcements here.

Pastor Anthony Thomas
Hello faith and freedom warriors. I want to impart something to you this week. Nehemiah 8, 10 says, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Now that's what I felt for the Lord to share with you today. God wants to impart to you an extra measure of joy. Joy can not only strengthen you, it puts laughter inside of you. It puts strength inside of you. And all of us go through various challenges and seasons where our strength feels low. Joy is the source that strength comes out of. Joy is not happiness. It's not based on circumstances or situations. It's based on who you know that you love Jesus and you have strength that comes comes through him. Let's pray today. Father, we thank you, Lord. We're asking right now for joy. That joy would come and fill our spirit and strengthen us. O God. God. There's various trials and tribulations in this life, but God you said that our joy would be made full. And that's my prayer today. God, feel the hearts and the spirit of the people that are watching today. Let their joy be full. Let them be strong in this battle called life. Bless them and be with them and protect them. And God bless our warriors out there that are protecting this country right now. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen. Want to share? If you want to hear a great teaching on fasting, I just spoke one this weekend. Go to tipofthespiritchurch.org or go on Rumble and put Tip of the Spirit church. It's called supernaturally charged. It's how to fast and why we fast. I think it'll really bless you. God bless you. Pastor Anthony out.

This episode of "Faith and Freedom" with Shemane Nugent centers on faith, family values, personal wellness, outsider perspectives, and the courage to stand for biblical principles in the entertainment industry. With notable guests Kevin and Sam Sorbo—actors, filmmakers, and outspoken Christians—the discussion explores spiritual warfare in Hollywood, the benefits and challenges of homeschooling, stand-out faith-based film projects, and practical health solutions. Later, Shemane and her husband, Ted Nugent, are joined by Brian, developer of their new pet supplement line, before Shemane shares personal reflections on John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, inspired by the new series “Love Story.” The episode concludes with a word from Pastor Anthony Thomas.
