Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Island Boys’ Background, Family Life & Brotherhood

• Juvenile System & Upbringing:
  The twins discuss growing up in West Palm Beach, not Miami, and their difficult adolescence—being in and out of the juvenile system from ages 13 to 18.
  • Fly Soldier: "We were in the system from 13 all the way to 18 years old... did almost like two years in a juvenile prison." (06:00)
• Brotherly Relationship and Distance:
  Since boxing each other for publicity, the brothers have grown apart, partly due to rehab, romantic relationships, and physical distance.
  • Kodiak Red: "I put myself in the front line. I made myself look stupid. But I saw the vision with us, and I still do of course, but... things turned distant." (02:57)

2. Fame, Music, and Controversy

• Path to Fame:
  Inspired during incarceration, they became rappers, leveraging haters and internet trolls to boost their exposure using "the 6ix9ine method."

  • Fly Soldier: "We used the hate for fame...we would rile up a bunch of haters on live, troll them so they could click our link." (08:42)

• Symbolism & Tattoos:
  The eagle tattoo, influenced by Kodak Black, became part of their image and helped link them to other rappers.

  • Kodiak Red: "I saw Kodak come out of jail...he had a vulture...I could do it a little bit better...so I got a bald eagle." (09:24)

3. Money, OnlyFans, and Moral Cost

• OnlyFans Controversy:
  The twins famously made millions on OnlyFans, stirring controversy by releasing videos of them kissing each other for profit—a decision they now view with regret.
  • Fly Soldier: "That's the devil right there. That was the greed. Money, greed, money, greed." (84:02)
  • Fly Soldier: "I was making 1.5 mil a month...just for kissing each other...but it didn't feel right. I felt shameful, I felt guilty, I felt not fulfilled." (85:21, 85:47)
  • Kodiak Red: "I always make a joke and say the devil's play money." (85:09)
• Aftermath & Conviction:
  The brothers state they feel "praise God" that OnlyFans banned their accounts, calling the money empty and likening the experience to "the devil's play money."
  • Fly Soldier: "I'm completely against OnlyFans because...you're selling yourself. You're selling your soul. That's how I look at it. And you got a dollar sign. That's Illuminati right there." (88:07)

4. Struggles with Lust, Addiction, and Seeking Fulfillment

• Candid Discussion on Lust:
  The Island Boys open up about their past sexual addictions, linking it to attempts to fill emotional voids after drugs.
  • Fly Soldier: "I was trying to tell my mind I needed this girl on Monday...Tuesday...Wednesday...and if I wasn't, I was jerking my...that was my addiction." (52:05)
• Bryce’s Personal Testimony:
  Bryce shares his own story of crippling anxiety and a suicide plan, and how a supernatural encounter with Jesus at a Waffle House changed his life.
  • Bryce Crawford: "So the night I was planning on taking my life...Jesus encountered me when I was in that Waffle House, and he stopped me...I haven't had crippling anxiety or depression since that day." (19:22)

5. Views on God, Jesus, and Spirituality

• The Island Boys’ Beliefs:
  Both express belief in a higher power but remain noncommittal toward organized religion, leaning into a more "spiritual" worldview.
  • Kodiak Red: "I'm not, like, 100% religious...But I believe that there's a higher power. I believe in God's presence." (13:19)
  • Fly Soldier: "We don't think much of, like, who created us. We think more of, like, what is our purpose of being in here?" (18:38)
• Skepticism about Mainstream Christianity:
  Red expresses concerns that some Christian followers appear delusional or only "convert" for social media attention, referencing OnlyFans models.
  • Kodiak Red: _"Are a little come off delusional...They went through so much with pregnancies...now they're like 'I'm into Christianity.'" (39:20)
• Bryce on Christianity vs. Manifestation:
  He argues faith in Jesus is not about faking perfection, and distinguishes prayer from the popular "manifestation" movement, warning the latter "doesn't care about you."
  • Bryce: "Manifestation doesn't care about you. If we're not communicating with God, then who are we communicating with? We're communicating with the devil." (35:26)

6. The Search for True Peace

• Misplaced Hopes:
  All guests agree that society promises happiness in success, fame, money, and substances—but none have delivered lasting peace.
  • Bryce Crawford: "The peace that I believe every human being looks for in money, fame, sex, drugs, alcohol...I found just by giving my life to Jesus." (29:02, 09, 85:47)
• Joy vs Happiness:
  Discussion about the difference between fleeting happiness and deeper joy or contentment, found only through spiritual means.
  • Bryce Crawford: "Happiness is temporary...but joyful joy is like something I was searching. I wanted this eternal peace, and I was trying to find peace in everything else." (23:04)

7. Industry Darkness & Illuminati Stories

• Both denounce aspects of the music industry as "devilish" and "Illuminati," claiming multiple personal encounters with darkness, deception, and manipulation from major figures, notably citing Kodak Black.
  • Fly Soldier: "We find it like demonic because it’s so fake...it’s devil talk...not working on anybody’s other time. Puppets. Be free by the name of God." (26:05–27:14)
• Retell eerie stories involving Kodak Black they interpret as figurehead of spiritual darkness.
  • Fly Soldier: "He said, sometimes I gotta sell my soul for them to pay attention...When I called him, he was acting completely demonic. Not godly." (63:13)

8. Redemption, Growth & Hope

• Current Focus:
  Fly Soldier is focused on creating family content and being present for his children, candidly sharing about his son's time in NICU and an ongoing custody battle with his daughter’s mother.
  • Fly Soldier: "When my son was in the NICU...it was the most harshest time in my life...I went through it because I didn’t want [my partner] to go through it." (67:32)
• Kodiak Red’s New Perspective:
  Red values calm and positivity, spending time in nature, and keeping away from drama. He acknowledges self-doubt but is working to boost his self-worth.
  • Kodiak Red: "I live a pretty calm, peaceful life...drama free...My self worth should be always high. That took me some time to realize." (78:54)
• Mentoring & Trust:
  The brothers discuss the difficulty of finding trusted mentors due to their backgrounds, expressing envy at Bryce's ability to trust his faith community and friends.

  • Fly Soldier: "Freedom to me is...wake up and say thank you, God...me do me moving with the joys of God and that's it. Not being a puppet...the industry is fake and it's all Illuminati and it's all demonic and it could absorb you." (26:38)

There’s humor, but also gravity as they grapple with trauma, regret, and the longing for purpose. Bryce’s evangelistic approach is gentle, logical, and non-judgmental, anchoring the conversation in scriptural principles while giving plenty of space for the Island Boys’ skepticism and personal experiences.

What do you guys think about Jesus?

[Fly Soldier]

I was making 1.5 mil a month.

[Bryce Crawford]

Just for kissing each other.

[Kodiak Red]

I felt like since I didn't die fully, I couldn't come off the ceiling and see the light.

[Bryce Crawford]

The peace that I believe every human being looks for in money, fame, sex, drugs, alcohol. All that stuff that people look for, I found just by giving my life to Jesus.

[Fly Soldier]

I need to this girl on Monday. I need to this girl on Tuesday. I need to this girl on Wednesday. And if I wasn't, I was jerking my.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford Podcast. I'm Bryce, and today, by the title of the review, I know you guys are excited. We're here with Kodiak Red and Fly Soldier, the Island Boys. You guys doing good?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, man, we're doing good. How you doing, man?

[Bryce Crawford]

I'm feeling good. Thanks for coming on, man. I'm super pumped. We were able to work it out and you guys were able to come on. So thanks for driving over.

[Kodiak Red]

By the way, we haven't linked in.

[Fly Soldier]

What, you and me? Yeah. Since we boxed.

[Bryce Crawford]

Wait, when did you guys box?

[Fly Soldier]

We boxed in. What was it, two months, three months ago?

[Bryce Crawford]

May.

[Fly Soldier]

Right. May.

[Bryce Crawford]

And wait, why? Why. Why did you guys fight each other?

[Fly Soldier]

Publicity money. On. Call it money. Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you guys.

[Kodiak Red]

It was a business move for me.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh, it was just business.

[Fly Soldier]

Yes.

[Bryce Crawford]

Okay. But is that.

[Fly Soldier]

But it was real, though.

[Bryce Crawford]

Is that not kind of scary like. You ever hear, like, Logan, Paul and Jake? Paul, they say they'll never fight each other because they're like brothers.

[Fly Soldier]

Sometimes they'll amp it up and act like they will. That's what I'm saying.

[Kodiak Red]

I thought.

[Fly Soldier]

I'm pretty sure they Will if they have to, if they need to, huh? Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

But for you guys, you guys didn't care. Like, you guys were just like, we're gonna do it.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

I wasn't really into it, but at the same time, that's what they wanted, so we gave them what they wanted.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, There definitely was some thinking about it, but you understand, like, Logan Paul and Jake Paul are two way different fighters. They're not twins, and they're also in two different weight classes, and one is a way better athlete than the other one. So I, I don't think that would even be a good combo. But at, at the end of the day, Jake Paul, he runs boxing, his own boxing commission thing. So I guess it really wouldn't matter if you fought someone a little bit bigger than him, because Logan Paul is bigger than him. But would Jake Paul whooped Logan Paul? Yeah. So. Right.

[Bryce Crawford]

You guys. But you guys haven't talked since you guys boxed. Why haven't you guys talked?

[Kodiak Red]

We've talked.

[Fly Soldier]

We talked. We talked on the phone, but, like.

[Bryce Crawford]

Been in person together, right?

[Fly Soldier]

Well, I mean, he, I mean, he lives. He lives far one Number two is just like, you know, I don't know. He thinks I don't f. With him.

[Kodiak Red]

No, that's not true. Well, yeah, it got something to do with that. It just. Things turned distant after, I guess, when I came out of rehab, you know, I guess he wanted to pursue his relationship with his girlfriend and stuff like that. And I did my own thing. He did his own thing. I feel like us, like, growing up apart from each other, it became more distant, and I saw it, but he can't say nothing about me because I fought for our relationship, you know, and I made my. I put myself in the front line. I made myself look stupid. But I saw the vision with us, and I still do, of course, but, you know, like, I, I, I. It looked like, oh, I cared so much. He didn't care. He's. He's with his girl while I was single. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, you know what? Like, step. But he can't say, like, oh, I didn't quit him. You know what I'm saying? I always loved him. I always wanted to work, work with him. I think we do great together. I don't know why it turned into something like, it was like a barrier, like a wall.

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, that's a good thing about, like, you guys are.

[Kodiak Red]

I felt it.

[Bryce Crawford]

And you guys love each other, you know, That's a good thing is, like, even when Things get hard, you're still able to mend it. And like, there's a, There's a proverb that says brothers are born in adversity. Not even just like blood related, but like, the closest of friendships I have are the ones that are born through, like, trial and hard times and fire when, like, stuff goes through. So, you know, it's like, even. Even though it's been hard and tough at the same time, it's like, man, I'm grateful that you guys are like.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah, I think I heard him say, like, not too long ago, like.

[Fly Soldier]

Him.

[Kodiak Red]

And my mom stopped me because of like, addiction or something like that.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, well, it was just more like. More like, you know, you know, I, I live with him and I was single and I gave him chance after chances and he was with a girl and I. And I was going through celibacy and all that, and I gave him chance of a chance of him being my brother. And it's okay. I mean, you know, I, I did it to him once before, and then he did it to me one time. It's always girls. And then I, now I did to him again. So, you know, it's always bouncing back and forth. So it's always the relationship. I mean, at this point, I, I just look at it like more like, okay, you know, we could be in a relationship. We could just. We're old enough to understand that we could be in a relationship. We could still with each other. But yeah, he just lives too far, to be honest with you. That's just. That's, that's really it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. Distance definitely makes it harder.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, it makes, definitely makes. It makes. It makes it harder, you know? Yeah. But he's only one call away. It's so it's easier to just call him, but it's always nice to see him in person.

[Kodiak Red]

I appreciate that. I was fighting for it when I was living a little bit closer to him, but I know he was going through his own thing, so I get, I get that part.

[Fly Soldier]

Dang.

[Bryce Crawford]

You guys are super kind and you've been good to us and you guys are kind of each other, so I.

[Fly Soldier]

Appreciate you having kind as well too. You're with your hospitality. Appreciate it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Thanks, bro. So. So did you guys grow up in Miami?

[Kodiak Red]

Appreciate that.

[Fly Soldier]

We're from. No, we are from West Palm Beach, Florida.

[Bryce Crawford]

Okay.

[Fly Soldier]

So we're from a city where there's a lot of haters. And you know, interesting enough is that, you know, my brother and I, we didn't know we were going to be like these Big. These big influencers, big entertainers, big rappers. We didn't think like that at all when we first was born and you know, going to school and stuff like that, you know, we always got. We always had haters and we never knew why. But, you know, it's just, you know, Red and I, my brother and I, we would. We were in the system from 13 all the way to 18 years old in the juvenile system. And we kept getting locked up. And at one time we kept getting a lot of slap on the wrist, you know, especially being reinstated on probation like five, six times, eight times. And then we finally, the judge had enough of us and we got jammed up and bammed up and we did almost like two years in a juvenile prison. A wild camp youth offender program and that right there we were separated because you can't be with your brother in prison. So he was in a different prison than I was. But, you know, a lot of people say, oh, you went to a juvenile prison. A lot of people aren't saying the juvenile prison, it's 10 times worse than adult prison. Do your research. Is facts. It's gladiator school and you got to fight. So you have to fight a lot.

[Kodiak Red]

A lot, a lot.

[Fly Soldier]

And those, they're young, so they have more into. They have more. I've been to county. There's a lot of old folks. It's easy sometimes, I mean, you know, you're gonna find a big tough gorilla. But is not. Trust me, juvenile is just as bad. But no, no, not fading wise. Fading wise. Not.

[Kodiak Red]

But.

[Fly Soldier]

But the conditions in. In county, in prison is worse than you, the defenders. Correct. That's true. But. But dealing with the. To. To fighting and everything, N. It's. They're both bad. But anyways, what I'm trying to get at is that when. When we were down the road, that's what we call it, down the road. And we. When we went to prison, you know, I got released 60 days before him because he caught more time because he got in trouble or got caught doing something. And you know, I came up with the idea.

[Kodiak Red]

I wasn't aggressive for three fights.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, I came up with the idea that, you know, hey listen, we should be rappers. And because, to be honest with you, I let him know, hey, listen, you know, our mom doesn't have a lot of money. We live in a single family home. Like, it's just our mom and him.

[Bryce Crawford]

Michelle's dad around.

[Fly Soldier]

Our dad died when we were four years old. So that's why I said we live in a single Family home. So I was letting her know she's broke, she has no money. So we need to make something out of something. And we had nothing. You know, we were just troublemakers. So we had to fix something up up because we didn't want to get a job. And so then that's when, when I was locked up, I was locked up with a lot of rappers like Hot Boy Wham, Spinning man, you know, people that were affiliated with, with Kodak Black.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

You know, and basically, you know, when I came out, I came with the idea and we didn't think we were going to get haters when we first started, but we got a lot of hate. So we used the hate for fame, if you understand what I'm saying. That's what we did, you know, and it worked in our favor. So we would, what we do is we will rile up a bunch of haters on live, troll them so they could click our link and look at our music video. So it worked in both ways. Kind of like the 6:9 method almost. So we did, so we did that. And then he tatted. He decided to tattoo an eagle on his forehead.

[Bryce Crawford]

Eagle. Yeah. And. Oh, okay. Yeah. And what, what's the eagle for?

[Kodiak Red]

I saw Kodak come out of jail and I was like, he had a vulture. He had got it just tatted when he came out the feds and got pardoned by Trump.

[Fly Soldier]

And I'm like, he basically what do you do a cover up?

[Kodiak Red]

I basically. What's it called? Yeah, he had a cross. But basically I'm like, yo, I could do it a little bit better like in my style and stuff like that. So I didn't copy him. Get a vulture. I got a bald eagle. Everybody got on my about it. Everybody was like, I copy him. I'm a follower. This and that. He was in my conversation. Yeah, I hit the blogs. So this basically upcharged me. I hit the blogs. I got to link with Kodak. I blew up the next week as the island boy.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

So everything happened for a reason. And I got a no jumper.

[Fly Soldier]

The reason why I even mentioned that he got a tattoo. It made Kodak want to reach out to him. And he was watching my story as well too. But he wanted to know about him because he, he's the one that had the.

[Kodiak Red]

Obviously my manifestation works.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you guys wanted to be rappers. Like that was the start. You guys were trying to be rappers after you guys got out of juvenile jail and all that stuff. You guys were trying to re be rappers. So you got the tattoo I always.

[Kodiak Red]

Been very good at freestyling. So when I was in jail, I didn't care to be a rapper. Everybody around me wanted to be a rapper. Every dude wants to be a rapper. But when I came out, that was basically the situation. Like I didn't, I was tatting my face, I couldn't get a job. My PO was on my trying to violate me for not even having a 9 to 5. They wouldn't set me because the tattoos, the energy, whatever it was, they would have sent me. So I especially in Florida. That's why I moved to North Carolina and got a job.

[Fly Soldier]

But that we did work a job just to maintain but. But while we were working job, we were doing our online still.

[Kodiak Red]

You know, I always knew I was gonna make money off popularity.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, same.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you guys was the goal to be famous? What was the goal?

[Fly Soldier]

The goal was definitely to be famous and the goal was definitely to monetize our fame. We knew that we had it in us. We knew that what we could do. And like I said like, you know, big artists who started watches and quarterback hit him up and you know, Koda Black sent a lot of demonic attacks towards him and me, you know, because he sold his soul. So I mean, yeah, he said to.

[Kodiak Red]

Me one time that my motion is not going to last forever. I was like, what the is that supposed to mean?

[Bryce Crawford]

And he, he just said that to you? So in the life, when you think of the good life, the best life you could live, what is that life? Describe that for me.

[Fly Soldier]

What is it for saying that? But what happened?

[Bryce Crawford]

If you could describe the best life, the American dream, what would that life be? If you could describe it?

[Kodiak Red]

I think about it every day. I would say happy, peaceful, Wake up. Very clear minded. Wake up to like a nice view on the hill, pool, fit in the pool, walk outside, breathe fresh air and be high off life. Like the air. So feel that sun.

[Fly Soldier]

What was your question again?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, so if you could describe the American dream, like the best life someone could live, what would that life be?

[Fly Soldier]

I feel like I'm kind of living it now, but I feel like of course it's always so much to improvise and make it better. I would say more like, you know, just a big house, my kids a little grown up, like 10, 11, 12, 13 years old, like in their early teens. You know, me being a dad, having a bunch of like Lamborghinis and Rolls Royce in the front. Happiness, peace, abundance, prosperity and feeling loved, unconditional love, and just feel free in life.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

So.

[Bryce Crawford]

What do you guys think about Jesus? God. What do you guys think about Jesus?

[Kodiak Red]

I pray. I'm not, like, 100% religious. Religious. I don't pray before I eat or something like that. But I believe that there's a higher power. I believe in God's presence.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, I'm the same way. I believe there's a higher power. I prayed right there, actually, and it was a pretty good prayer. I feel like, you know, asking for forgiveness and stuff like that. Just trying to open my mind and open my ears. Yeah. And, you know, there's nothing. There's nothing wrong with God. I love God a lot. You know, there's. We live in such a wicked, cold world where it's just. Everybody's just. And you're a good guy, but, you know, there's people that are not. And, you know, we live in a very cold world where they're fake and they just use people, and it's disgusting. In the world that we live in.

[Kodiak Red]

There was a time I took it out on God and, like, my relationship with him. I would always pray before I go out to the courtroom in the holding cell, and I would just get a slap on my wrist. And one day they're like, you're not getting out. Wait till your next court date. You're not getting out. You're not getting out.

[Fly Soldier]

What happened to me, too.

[Kodiak Red]

Then I get sentenced every time I prayed, and I also prayed to my dead dad like an angel in Spanish and English. And then, Amen. But what is it called? Then I took it out on him, you know what I'm saying? For like a year.

[Bryce Crawford]

And what do you. What do you guys think happens when we die? Like, every. Every human being has a timer on their life. So when that clocks.

[Kodiak Red]

I felt like I died before.

[Bryce Crawford]

You feel like you've died before? What does that mean?

[Kodiak Red]

Like, you feel like my first seizure or first or second seizure, it was one next to his baby, Mom.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh, so you had a seizure. Did you go into a coma and then, like, come, come back?

[Kodiak Red]

Something like that.

[Fly Soldier]

He had a real long seizure.

[Kodiak Red]

They narcate me and everything.

[Fly Soldier]

Could have been an overdose. I've overdosed myself, too. I know. I know exactly what he's talking about.

[Bryce Crawford]

But when you get in those positions.

[Kodiak Red]

I felt like I lifted in a black, black, dark room, and I couldn't. I felt like since I didn't die fully, I couldn't come out the ceiling and see the light.

[Bryce Crawford]

Interesting.

[Kodiak Red]

That's how it felt like. And then I came back.

[Bryce Crawford]

But do you feel like that? Do you feel like that there's life after death or do you think that it just goes all black? What do you, what do you guys think?

[Kodiak Red]

My soul left my body, so probably.

[Fly Soldier]

I feel like I said exactly what he, what he said. I don't feel like there's a life after this. I feel like your soul goes somewhere, but I don't think I felt nothing. I don't think your body or flesh is going anywhere. I think your flesh and skin and your body is done for. I think your soul is going to go somewhere. That's what I think. Do I know everything else? No, I don't. But I, I believe there was a past life. Like, I believe that some people are, they might be 30 years old, but they're really 60 years old because they live this life for another, another life span. I believe in past life. I don't know too much about afterlife though, dog. I really don't.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, that's okay.

[Fly Soldier]

I think when you code, you code.

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, have you, have you guys ever looked into Christianity or looked into any religion or. Not really. I mean, because I feel like, right. I've. If I was in the position of like an overdose or something like that, like, that's, that is terrifying as a terrifying position to be in. Like, I feel like my heart would be beating and wanting to think that there's something great, like actually slows down.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Do you feel like, were you not feeling anxious about, oh, what's going to happen when I, if, if I don't make it or things like that or. That wasn't really a thought that crossed.

[Kodiak Red]

Your mind when I possibly, possibly odd.

[Bryce Crawford]

Had seizure and Safe for you Flight.

[Fly Soldier]

You asked if we looked into like God about it.

[Kodiak Red]

Like.

[Bryce Crawford]

No, no, because in the, what I'm saying is like in those moments, right, like if I was in a life or death situation and I didn't know I was going to come out the other side and if I didn't believe in God, I feel like my heart, for me personally, I feel like my heart would be racing. Like, I wouldn't know. Were you guys kind of freaking out in that moment?

[Fly Soldier]

Yes, yes. Yes.

[Kodiak Red]

I, I remember freaking out the simple fact that I already had so much seizures. I was like, and I'm not epileptic. And they're not giving me an answer why I'm having them. I thought I wasn't gonna be able to like, take care of myself, like be independent. Because I like being independent.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

So that was a problem for me health wise.

[Fly Soldier]

Like, for me it's like you know, I've been a lot of experiences where, like, you know, it was life or death and. Yeah. You know. You know, I've been shot at. I. I been. You know, I've OD'd a couple times, and I'll be honest with you. Yeah. There was one OD where my heart was racing. Probably, like, I don't know, like, 400 times a minute. Four times a minute.

[Bryce Crawford]

Crazy.

[Kodiak Red]

That's so wild, you said.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Do you. Who do you guys.

[Fly Soldier]

Who do you guys change yourself? No, I. I passed out.

[Bryce Crawford]

Who do you guys think created you?

[Kodiak Red]

Created what?

[Bryce Crawford]

Who do you guys think created you? Where do you guys. Where do you guys think you're from?

[Kodiak Red]

Like. Like addiction?

[Bryce Crawford]

No, no. Like, who do you think created you?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, your physical body, you as a person.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. Do you think someone created you or.

[Kodiak Red]

I believe that was it called, like, everything that's created obviously, was made by man, Mankind, in a way. But I believe in a higher power. I'm more towards the spirituality.

[Bryce Crawford]

And what is that? What is that higher power?

[Fly Soldier]

We don't think much of, like, who created us. We think more of, like, what is our purpose of being in here?

[Bryce Crawford]

Right.

[Kodiak Red]

A vibration.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. Vibrations and energy. And what is our purpose and what's around us and who's around us and what are we doing and how can we benefit off of this? That's more like it. We don't sit there and think like, God created us, but like I said, we're very big believers of God.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah. I just feel like a lot of people just forget about God and take that for granted.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I. I don't know. I don't. You guys don't know anything about my life, My story?

[Fly Soldier]

No.

[Bryce Crawford]

Nothing at all. I grew up going to church. I grew up in a Christian school.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

But I didn't follow God because it didn't mean anything to me. I thought Jesus was just the guy that was on my Bible test in school, because I went to a Christian school and I just kind of had this bitterness and resentment towards God and didn't really care about Jesus. And when I got in the eighth grade, I got really bad depression and anxiety. For years I had bad depression and anxiety, like, crippling depression and anxiety. And no one knew about it. It was just something I never told anyone. But when I would come home from school, I would just, like, lay in my bed and, like, at night and just be sad and depressed and anxious. So When I was 17, I planned on taking my life to end the depression and anxiety, because the depression and Anxiety, it feels incurable. Sometimes it feels like you can't get the pain to go away. So I thought the only way I can get the pain to go away is if I just take my life. So the night I was planning on taking my life, I went to have my last meal at a Waffle House. And when I was at Waffle House, God revealed himself to me. Jesus encountered me when I was in that Waffle House, and he stopped me. So I prayed this prayer to Jesus. I said, okay, Jesus, if you're real. Because he revealed himself to me when I was in this restaurant. If you're real, take away my anxiety and depression. Because that's why I wanted to take my life serious. And I haven't had crippling anxiety or depression since that day. And that was my, like, foot in the door of thinking, okay, because all the questions I just asked you guys are the questions I asked myself for years. Like, who created everything? Who. You know, does my life have purpose? You know, if. If there is no afterlife, why am I trying to be a good person? This was all before I became a Christian. Because if nothing happens when we die, we don't have any reason or motive to be a good person.

[Fly Soldier]

Well, you know, and I have God in my subconscious mind, but, you know, there was. There was times like, I won't lie, like, you know, I was living in an apartment and know, I was sitting a balcony, and I'm like, it only takes two steps for me to die, and that's just to stand up one step, and then the second step is just to jump and I'm. Boom. I'm just anxiety.

[Kodiak Red]

Did you ever find the root of why you wanted to take yourself at such a young age?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, it was just the anxiety and depression.

[Fly Soldier]

Like, yeah, they'll do it to you.

[Bryce Crawford]

It was crushing my soul.

[Kodiak Red]

There's no trigger to that. It just was inherited or something.

[Bryce Crawford]

I mean, I had. I had family problems. I had struggles, right? So, like, I. I've never drank alcohol before. I've never done drugs before, but I would. People, please. I thought if I could get everyone to like me, that it would make me feel better about myself. So I would be a different person to. To fly than to red people pleaser, than to deal. I was a big people pleaser. I was big. I chased money. I tried to work a bunch of jobs, good jobs, and, like, tried to make money. I had side hustles. I chased.

[Fly Soldier]

You ever thought you had bpd, bipolar depression?

[Bryce Crawford]

No. No. I knew it. I know I didn't have Bipolar disorder.

[Fly Soldier]

But depression, depression, depression, it's different.

[Bryce Crawford]

No, no, I don't.

[Fly Soldier]

Bipolar, bipolar depression.

[Bryce Crawford]

No, I don't. I never had that. I. I had. There were circumstances and things in my life that were bringing me down and causing me to live in this hole of depression and anxiety.

[Kodiak Red]

And how long did that remain? Like a year or something.

[Bryce Crawford]

Years. So for probably like four years, I had anxiety and depression, you know, and that's bipolar depression. I tried. I tried therapy, and it didn't work. And I tried a bunch of different things. And that's. That's. That's why I asked at the beginning. I was like, what is the good life? And, you know, a lot of things that you guys said was like, oh, big house, nice cars.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

But I felt like the way you just put it now, it's like, okay, you're wishing for mental health also be happy, right?

[Bryce Crawford]

So, like, I think happiness is a temp. Like, I think happiness is different than joy. Right.

[Fly Soldier]

Happiness is within yourself.

[Bryce Crawford]

Happiness is like, I'm happy hanging out with you guys right now.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

I'm happy when I have a dessert.

[Fly Soldier]

It's a mood.

[Bryce Crawford]

I'm happy. It's temporary. Right.

[Fly Soldier]

Mood is mood.

[Bryce Crawford]

But joyful joy is like something I was searching. I wanted this eternal peace, and I was trying to find peace in everything else. That every human being has a hole in their heart, and they try to fill the hole in their heart with other things. Some people do drugs, Some people do drink alcohol. Some people, you know, have a load of sex. Some people say devil talk, do a bunch of stuff. Yeah, people do a lot of different things.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

And for me, I had had enough of it because I had tried everything I wanted to try, and it didn't work. So that night when I prayed to Jesus, I said, okay, Jesus, if you're real, take away my anxiety and depression. I'm at my last leg. This is why I want to take my life. And it was really this moment where I was just like, I've tried everything and nothing has worked. So, Jesus, if you work, I'm going to get my life. Because I hated my life so much, I wanted to take my life. And instead of taking my life, I gave my life to Jesus and I put my faith in God. So, you know, the Bible says even demons believe in Jesus. Even demons know that Jesus is real. So there's a difference in believing in Jesus and following Jesus. Jesus says, if you want to follow me, you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow him. And what I was doing is I Was living for everything else but Jesus. Money was a God in my life for a time. Pornography was a God in my life for a time. People pleasing was a God for time, my life, even sports I would try.

[Kodiak Red]

To find escapes I had a problem with. But I feel like people like in like your type of world, I would say have like a problem with people like me and my brother just for the simple fact we're tatted. So we already get judged as not being super, you know, God, like, well.

[Fly Soldier]

I got a big anxiety thing already there.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, well, I got tattoos, right.

[Kodiak Red]

And so I think we have a lot of. So it's like they don't want to.

[Fly Soldier]

Say, yeah, we're not considered yadded.

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, I'll just show you a picture of my uncle when you guys get done. He became a Christian in jail. He is covered head to toe in tattoos and he is the most humble, gentle, kind human being. The Bible tells us that God doesn't look at the outside, he looks at the heart. Right? So there's a story in the Bible where the religion.

[Fly Soldier]

God loves everyone.

[Bryce Crawford]

He does love everyone, right? He does. He loves everyone equally. He loves Bly the same as he loves Red the same that he's. He loves me. So, you know, basic, you guys know, close. The price someone puts on a shoe or a shirt because you guys, like, nice stuff determines the value of it, right? So if someone's willing to spend $300 on shoes, they'll spend $300. If you find a T shirt at TJ Maxx for $10, nobody's going to pay $300 for that shirt at TJ Maxx because no one thinks it's worth it. So the question I ask myself is, what is the price that God puts on my life? How valuable am I in God's eyes? And the Bible would say his own life, right? We believe that Jesus is God and he died for you and me.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

That's how valuable God thinks. God thinks that your life is so valuable that he died for you.

[Fly Soldier]

Well, that's one of the reasons why my brother and I, we don't really like the industry too much because it's so devilish. And you know, we could have been in the industry if we wanted to, but we find it like demonic because it's so fake and it's just, it's devil talk. And, you know, they want you to be a puppet and they want you to do bad things. And we don't do that. We, we do what we want to do whenever we want to do and be free by the name of God.

[Bryce Crawford]

What. What is freedom to you guys?

[Fly Soldier]

What does that look like Freedom to me is that I get to wake up and I get. I get to say thank you, God, for letting me wake up and me do me moving with the joys of God and that's it. You know, not. Not working on anybody's other time. Puppets. These master puppet. Not being a puppet, you know, being controlled. Not, not, not listening to these people because the industry is fake and it's all Illuminati and it's all demonic and it could absorb you and it could suck you up and dry you up and drain you. You over.

[Bryce Crawford]

Do you. Does the idea of letting God take the reins of your life, like, take control of your life, does that kind of scare you or no?

[Fly Soldier]

No.

[Kodiak Red]

Would you ask?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. So, like, when I became a Christian.

[Kodiak Red]

Right, Walking with God in my life, yeah, Before.

[Bryce Crawford]

Before I became a Christian, it was all what Bryce could do. For Bryce, I was control. I was the same way. I didn't like anyone telling Bryce what to do with his life. Bryce likes to do what Bryce likes to do. And that's how to do it. Well, I realized that sometimes, even if I think I know what's best for me, I still do stuff that accidentally hurts me. I do stuff that hurts other people accidentally, not intentionally. And so when I became a Christian, that's what it looks like to follow Jesus, right?

[Kodiak Red]

Do you sin?

[Bryce Crawford]

Do I sin? Yeah, I struggle with sin.

[Kodiak Red]

But so what, what's it called? So how do you do? Deal with it?

[Fly Soldier]

Ask for forgiveness.

[Bryce Crawford]

So when it comes to sin, right, Sin is what separates us from God. Jesus dying on the cross and he raised from the dead. Three days later, he defeated sin and death.

[Kodiak Red]

Well, it's something that you do that. That. Because not everybody's perfect. What do you think that you do that you say?

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, I think it'd be. I would think it would be impossible to say that every human being, Christian or not, doesn't struggle. Everyone struggles. Everyone struggles with anger. Everyone struggles with lust. Everyone struggles with pride. Everyone struggles with all the whole nine yards. But it's according to how do I deal with it, right? So before Jesus, I didn't give a rip. I was watching porn all the time, lusting after women, getting angry at people. I was having pride, thought I was better than everyone. I was greedy, all these things. But when I became a Christian and even before I became a Christian, all those things really, at the end of the day, I'm doing because I'm just Trying to fill the hole in my heart. That's what I was doing. I was just trying to cure my broken heart.

[Fly Soldier]

So would you say God cured that hole in your heart?

[Bryce Crawford]

Absolutely. The peace that I believe every human being looks for in money, fame, sex, drugs, alcohol, all that stuff that people look for, I found just by giving my life to Jesus. The second I gave my life to Jesus, I found the peace I was looking for everywhere else. And it's not that I don't struggle, but here's the reality. It's like, when it comes to sin, it's like, what's better? Do I want to sin or do I want Jesus and forgiveness? So the Bible teaches us that God gives us grace and forgiveness. Grace is a gift that you and I don't deserve, right? So I gave this example to Fly earlier. But it's like, if I murder someone and I'm on trial in front of the judge, I deserve to go to jail. I deserve to be punished. Murdering someone that sin because we are sinners, because we do awful stuff, we deserve death in hell. We deserve it. We deserve to be held accountable for our sins. Now imagine if you murder someone and you're standing on trial and the judge reads you your sentence, and then someone from the crowd is like, hey, don't worry, Red. Don't worry, Fly. I'll. I'll do your sentence. You guys go be free. I'll go to jail for you. Be pretty crazy, you know, it doesn't make sense, but you would know that that person loved you. And that's what Jesus does. Jesus dies the death that we deserve to die because of our sin, but he defeats death. So no human being can defeat death. Red can't raise from the dead. Fly can't raise from the dead. Bryce can't raise from the dead. Jesus raised from the dead, he defeated the thing that holds us down in our sin. So if I put my faith in Jesus, the one that defeats sin, and that the blood of Jesus, his blood that was shed on the cross that he died, forgives me and cleans me of my sin, then I get to be with God for an eternity. Now, the Bible says, just because you have forgiven, does that mean that you go sin whatever you want? Because a lot of people say, well, God's going to forgive me so I can do whatever I want because he's going to forgive me. Yeah, Absolutely not. He says, no. There's this thing called repentance, right? Repentance means a change in mind that leads to a change in action. So Bryce Said, okay. Bryce doesn't want to lust anymore. I shouldn't lust. Bryce doesn't want to have pride anymore. He shouldn't pride. Bryce doesn't want to be greedy. I shouldn't be greedy. So I ask God for forgiveness. I thank God that he has forgiven me. And I turn from that sin, and I run the opposite direction.

[Fly Soldier]

Wow.

[Bryce Crawford]

Every day, that's what repentance is. You have to. Every day it's a choice. Every day, you got to make the choice. Because think about this. You ready? If you wake up first thing in the morning and you consume your iPhone. Right. And you see a hate comment or you see a hate video or a.

[Fly Soldier]

Hate dm, it makes you mad.

[Bryce Crawford]

Throws your whole mood off, Right?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Because you just started your morning.

[Fly Soldier]

If you get. If you get into a fight with somebody, they win because even though you won the fight, they win because they're in your mind all day.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you. Yeah, right. So you start your day off angry because that's what you consumed.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

People's opinions change.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

You guys know it. You've had friends that like you one day, and then the next day they hate you. Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

Because you've got snappy.

[Bryce Crawford]

People are snappy.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

But God doesn't change his mind about you. So when I wake up in the morning and I start my day with prayer and reading my Bible, and I thank God for forgiving me, and I.

[Fly Soldier]

So God's your best friend?

[Bryce Crawford]

God's my best friend. He's my best friend.

[Fly Soldier]

That doesn't switch up on you?

[Bryce Crawford]

And we do everything together. Yeah. He doesn't switch up on us. But that's what every human being has the choice to choose to. Not only.

[Kodiak Red]

How can you. I have such a relationship with. With someone that's not a actual per. Person to talk back to. You have a conversation with you.

[Fly Soldier]

Can I say one thing for his. From what he's saying?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

It's like a figure, like, they called God. Like, you don't even know if that's actually his face. Just. I'm just asking you. Like, I talk back.

[Fly Soldier]

I agree. And I asked you that question at Chick Fil A, remember? How do you know? Like, that's what he looks like. But the thing is, like. Like when I was praying. Right. You kind of have to use your subconscious mind as well, too. Like, what would God think?

[Bryce Crawford]

So I have.

[Fly Soldier]

I think, what would God say? You know?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

I think more like that.

[Bryce Crawford]

Right. So I think God speaks to us in four ways. Right. The Bible actually tells us that God knew Us when we were in our mother's womb. So when both of you guys were in your mom's belly, before you guys even existed out of the world, you were just in your belly.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

The Bible says God knew you and he formed you. Meaning God knows you better than you know yourself.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

So that gives me confidence that when I read my Bible or when I'm praying and I feel the peace of God to make a decision, that whatever God is asking me to do is far greater than what Bryce wants to do for himself. But the four ways God speaks to us, the first one is the Bible, right? The Bible is the word of God. And the way I view it is Bible esv, the New Testament, New Testament, Old Testament. And the Bible is like a love letter God's written. Which one's your favorite, which book? I love them all. You need all of them because they all have so much wisdom. Like this book, the Bible, the word of God, it has life. Like, when I read it, it does something to my heart, it does something to my mind. And the Bible says, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by renewing your mind. So if you don't want to do the things that you're doing, you got to change the way you think by reading the word of God.

[Kodiak Red]

And you read all the books, like.

[Bryce Crawford]

Outside of the Bible, Every Bible, like The Bible is 66 books. Yeah, I've read the Bible and the Bible is the best thing. Before I was a Christian, I read self help books. Before I was a Christian, I read the whole nine yards and nothing worked. But when I read the Bible, I get this peace and I get this fuel. So the Bible. Second thing, I believe God gives us signs, right? I believe God can give signs. Third thing, I believe God can use people.

[Fly Soldier]

So when you say you read the Bible, do you. Did you ever read the book 48 Powers of Law?

[Bryce Crawford]

No, I've never read that book. No, I know what it is, but I've never read it. I choose not to read it because manifestation, Right, Yeah. Is all about your own willpower, right? So manifestation is how many times can Bryce write down this thing's going to happen? How many times can Bryce manifest this thing? And let me just say something. Manifestation works. But here's the reality of manifestation. Manifestation doesn't care about you. So if I ask God, hey, God, I really want this thing. Can you give me this thing?

[Fly Soldier]

But manifestation is a good thing, though.

[Bryce Crawford]

So I would argue, right, I would say that manifestation isn't a good thing. And here's why. We believe in Jesus and we communicate with Jesus. So if I say, hey, Jesus, I want this thing and I don't get it, I have to go, okay? God is protecting me. If I manifest something, it doesn't matter if the thing that I'm trying to manifest is going to hurt me or harm me, I will get it. Manifestation does not care about you. If we're not communicating with God, then who are we communicating with? We're communicating with the devil. The devil wants you to have everything you want because it distracts you from seeing Jesus. Does that make sense? So the devil wants you to have this stuff because he wants you to be blind to what true freedom is. So the world, the whole world, you guys know you hold the nine yards of industry. The industry says this is what freedom looks like. Money, fame, women, drugs, alcohol. That's freedom. That's what the industry says. That's what the world says. The world would agree that that's what freedom looks like. But a lot of the richest people I know and that have everything at their fingertips are the most sad people I know.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Because they don't have Jesus.

[Fly Soldier]

You think that's what it is?

[Bryce Crawford]

Absolutely. Jesus is the Prince of peace. If I had nothing, I would feel like I had everything. Because I have Jesus. You have to understand, before I was. That night, I was going to take my life. That was the dirtiest, most broken version of Bryce. That night I was going to take my life. No one wanted to be around that Bryce. No one wanted to interact with him. Bitter, angry, frustrated, prideful, greedy. That night, I was going to take my life. I was the worst version of myself. That's the version Jesus loved the most.

[Fly Soldier]

The angry one.

[Bryce Crawford]

The sad, broken, depressed, anxious, angry, frustrated, prideful. But here's the reality. I was honest.

[Fly Soldier]

So I once. I once cried one time. And I was going through a lot and I was living in a trailer. And this is before I blew up as an island boy. And I'm trying to blow up, right? But I'm making good amount of money, you know, I'm making about like a band a day or something like that. Like close there sometimes 500 a band a day. So I'm doing okay. But I was very lonely. Very lonely. You know, I had nobody around. My brother had this new girlfriend and so he went to go visit her and I was just alone and I was in a trailer and I felt like. And I said, I have no one.

[Kodiak Red]

To talk to, right?

[Fly Soldier]

So I got on my knees, cried, and asked for help. To God and he answered my prayers the next day.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I believe that.

[Fly Soldier]

Like, but why, why, why does he like the broken? Why, why, why does he like the broken me?

[Bryce Crawford]

People that think they know it all and have it all together can't. You can't do anything with the prideful, right? Like if someone is doing drugs, for example, and you're saying, hey bro, you should stop doing drugs. But they're prideful and they're like, I'm not listening to you. I'm gonna listen to myself and I'm gonna do whatever. Yeah, it doesn't matter how many great things you say to them, how many things you do for them, they're not going to change. The Bible says, blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. What that means is blessed are you for being honest and sincere with God. When you are honest and sincere with God, your reward is more intimacy with God. So what that means is like If I give 99% of myself to Jesus, but I'm withholding 1%, I'm still unknown. But if I give my all to God, he can do something about it. He can, he can use my all, he can use my brokenness, right? Because my brokenness and my sin is binding me down, it's bogging me down, it's weighing me down. So I have to give it to Jesus. Like the world sin weighs on our shoulders and Jesus takes the weight off of us, okay? But we have to live for Jesus. That's what he says. Jesus says, if you want to follow me, you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow me. So there's this part where it's like.

[Kodiak Red]

Yes, I saw a thing that people when they're like into Christianity, sorry if I didn't pronounce it right.

[Bryce Crawford]

It's okay.

[Kodiak Red]

Are a little come off delusional.

[Bryce Crawford]

So yeah, so I totally understand. So here's the thing, right? Like it's, I'm. I'm very log the way I think, I'm very logical. So I'm like, I'm very evidence based.

[Kodiak Red]

Because I'm thinking like what if someone's way.

[Fly Soldier]

So would you say you're intellectual?

[Bryce Crawford]

I like facts. I like facts.

[Fly Soldier]

Because. Because the logical thing is is intellect.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I guess so. I guess maybe I would label myself not intelligent. But inside I like logic, right? I like hard facts. I like facts.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah but you're talking like God heals everything, you give everything your all to him, right? What if someone's more broken than just a person that doesn't talk back Like.

[Bryce Crawford]

I said, there's no brokenness that Jesus can't heal. You have to understand.

[Fly Soldier]

Wait, but I don't know, go more in details, right? What do you mean by that?

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, are you talking about a murderer?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, what are you saying?

[Kodiak Red]

If someone's more broken, they just, like, God could save them or something. If something God could save them or something that I don't think someone could say. Someone that's real broken goes to more pain.

[Bryce Crawford]

No, I know what you're saying about.

[Fly Soldier]

Like a homeless guy going through addiction. Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

Someone has more. More down the head.

[Bryce Crawford]

So check. So, so check this out, right?

[Kodiak Red]

Am I lying?

[Bryce Crawford]

The Jesus's disciples, the 12 disciples, like, those guys were not religious people, right?

[Kodiak Red]

No offense. Some people have gone through more than you.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh, I know. Oh, I know. That's a fact.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah, so.

[Bryce Crawford]

But also, I know myself, right? No one can. No one can deny me. I've never walked in your shoes, and I'll never be able to walk in your shoes. You know the crap that you guys have been through. You know the crap that you guys have done. You know the sins that were committed against you. You know the sins that you've done. Everyone has their own story. I'm not denying that. But even when you read the Bible, like, Jesus is saving prostitutes, people are leaving prostitution and following God. Seriously, like, these broken.

[Fly Soldier]

I've seen like onlyfans models went from onlyfans to being Christians. Yep, yep.

[Bryce Crawford]

So there is, there's not someone that's too far gone, but that's what free will is, right? You just, you said it earlier to me.

[Kodiak Red]

And that's when I think they get.

[Fly Soldier]

Into the little delusion or something.

[Bryce Crawford]

Why do you think, what do you think is delusional about following Jesus?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, what was your facts behind it?

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah, because, like, why all of a sudden they commit so many sins and they're like. It's like a girl. And they're like. When they went through so much with pregnancies and stuff like that, they laugh weird like, huh. Guys, this is a new YouTube video. I'm into Christianity and I. I pray now. And I'm good. I put my life to Jesus. And you're like a whole light because of Jesus now that you put on. But it might not be like that on camera or something like that.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh, I see what you're saying. Right, right.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

Because these girls, like you said, the only fans girls, I can't.

[Bryce Crawford]

I can't speak on anyone because I don't know their heart. Right? It says God looks at the Heart. So one day, every human being is going to stand before God and everything we've done, our words, our actions and thoughts are going to testify against ourselves. Meaning we can't lie. We can't run from the things that we've done and set. But if we've put our faith in God, he forgives us from everything that we've done.

[Fly Soldier]

I have a quick question for you. So if God told you, hey, listen, you're gonna live a very good, free, happy, joyful life, fruitful life, right? But you can't be this successful. Success, successful, like, the devil tells you that you will live, like, all the richness, all the everything that you want, Right? You said that you're gonna beat your goals, right? What are you picking?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I'm gonna pick Jesus all day.

[Fly Soldier]

And just be okay with not having the richness. Here's a fortune.

[Bryce Crawford]

It's just my perspective has changed, right? So before I was a Christian, I was greedy. Now that I became a Christian, I want to be generous. And the Bible says if you're faithful with little, God can trust you with much. And I don't think that just has to deal with money. I think that has to deal with a lot of stuff. But now my thing is, I don't want to be greedy. I want to give. I want to be generous to people. I want to serve people. I want to love people. My perspective has changed. Do. What?

[Kodiak Red]

Do you mean that?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I absolutely mean that. Like, I seriously, like, love people. I love Jesus. That's why I love talking about Jesus. That's why I love sitting down and having conversations on podcasts and even off camera about why is there not a.

[Kodiak Red]

Lot of people like. Like you? That would be a big change in society.

[Bryce Crawford]

Man, we just live in a wicked world, you know, people love.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah, some people are wicked and.

[Bryce Crawford]

But we need a savior. That's the point. You're absolutely right. The world is wicked. But we need someone outside of ourselves to save us.

[Kodiak Red]

It's not going to take one person, but it would do something.

[Bryce Crawford]

That's why we need Jesus. There's this Bible verse In Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 2, it says, and we look to Jesus Christ as the author and perfecter of our faith, meaning the guy that we follow and put our faith in is Jesus. And then this is what it says. It says, for the joy set before him, he endured the cross. So the cross was where Jesus was crucified and killed. It was the most gruesome death you could do. Back in that time period, it was like Death row. And he's dying. And this is what the Bible says. It says the reason Jesus endured the pain was not because he couldn't get down. Jesus was God. If Jesus wanted to get down on the cross, he could have done it. He was God. So the reason he stayed on the cross was because he was thinking about you and he was thinking about me.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

It was love for you.

[Fly Soldier]

I heard the worst thing you could do about. For Jesus, like, to. The religion of Christianity is making a mockery of it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I mean, the last thing you would want to do is, like, mock Jesus. Right. But the one sin in the Bible that the Bible describes that God doesn't forgive is called the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And this is my. There's a couple different interpretations of it. There's a. No one really knows exactly what that means. This is what I think the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit means. When God is trying to tug on your heart.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

And you feel conviction. Not shame, not guilt. You feel conviction like, I shouldn't be doing this anymore. I need to change and give my life to God. And in this life, you just ignore the tug of the Holy Spirit. When you die and you stand before God, you can't do anything about it anymore. You see what I'm saying? The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is like rejecting what God is doing in your heart.

[Fly Soldier]

I would love to see how. How you would deal with, like, a custody case.

[Bryce Crawford]

What do you mean?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, if you had a baby and you were going through a custody case, how would you deal with it?

[Bryce Crawford]

I'll tell you what the Bible says, and that's what I would try to do my best to do. The Bible says to love your enemies and pray for those who curse you.

[Fly Soldier]

He's so funny. You tell the. The judge that.

[Bryce Crawford]

That I want to love. Love people that hate me. Like, give me context. Like, I don't have context of a situation.

[Fly Soldier]

So you have, like. You have, like, a baby mama that's trying to come after you, and. Yeah, she has a child and she wants your money, and she. She wants. She's bitter. But what. What. How are you gonna. How are you gonna deal with it, man? Manage it.

[Bryce Crawford]

All right, I'll give you an example. Before I was a Christian, when I dealt with anything, if someone did me wrong, my initial reaction was to do wrong.

[Fly Soldier]

Retaliate.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yep. Yeah, it was. If you hit me, I'm gonna hit you, and I'm gonna hit you harder. That was my time before I was A Christian?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Then when I became a Christian, there's this Bible verse where Jesus says, if someone slaps you on the cheek, turn them and give the other cheek. It's a metaphor. It's a metaphor. And what the metaphor stands for is don't return evil for evil. And so even though people are doing.

[Kodiak Red]

Evil towards me, does that automatically make your enemy your baby mom?

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, I'm not saying it makes you them your enemy. I'm just using that as an example. Right. So when you're going through anything hard.

[Kodiak Red]

No, I'm asking him. Because you put it that way.

[Bryce Crawford]

So people or people are doing you wrong. Right. Because things can be shady. People can be wrong. Are you saying if. If I was in a custody case and someone was being shady towards me?

[Kodiak Red]

I guess.

[Bryce Crawford]

Is that what you're saying?

[Fly Soldier]

I don't know what I asked.

[Kodiak Red]

If that makes you automatic your baby mom automatic, your enemy?

[Bryce Crawford]

No, no, it's just. I'm just using that as an example, right?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, well, well, you are a defendant. You're. You're supposed to defend yourself.

[Bryce Crawford]

Right. So, like, obviously, like, hey, look, if.

[Fly Soldier]

You'Re going through my. Think about that.

[Bryce Crawford]

If you're going through a court case, like, man, stand for truth. Right, Stand for truth. But I'm saying when it comes to character, like your integrity.

[Fly Soldier]

I heard what custody battles you now supposed to go in with. Bitter or anger.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. So, like, just from truth, like when you're in a court case, right, like, stand for truth.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, Stand for truth.

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, but when it comes to character, like your character.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Love them, be kind, generous, pray for them, encourage them. Right. If I was going through something hard before I was a Christian, it wouldn't matter what it was. I was bitter at you.

[Fly Soldier]

Kind of like kill them with kindness, basically. Yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

But like, why? The reason is like. So here's the example. It's like, why would I want to love people? This is again, more questions that I asked myself before I was a Christian. Like, why would I want to love someone? And the Bible tells us the only way we're able to love people is because we have been loved first by God. When I realized that God loved me first by dying for me and paying the penalty that I deserve to pay for my sin, that love that God showed me encouraged me and empowered me to love other people. Okay, so it's Jesus that gives me the strength to have peace in intense situations and to be loving in intense situations.

[Fly Soldier]

By the way, you can't have no hate in your heart neither.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, because. Because like, think about this. Like, the Bible says, hey, murder's wrong. And then Jesus says, okay, you know how murder is wrong if you're just angry at someone in your heart, you've committed murder in your heart. He says, just being angry at someone, it's like committing murder in your heart.

[Fly Soldier]

So it's. That's. That's. That's a testimony. That's.

[Bryce Crawford]

That's like. It's a Bible verse. Right? The Bible says. The Bible says, like, if you're just angry in your heart at someone.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

It's like you've committed murder in your heart towards them. Does that make sense?

[Fly Soldier]

Of course. Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

So he's like. He's like, hey, like, love if someone's done you wrong. Like, love them, pray for them. Right? Because we the same way. Like, I get. I love what you said. There's a lot of people that have been through a lot more crap than I have.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

But I also know my life, and I also know what I've been through. And I knew how broken I was and how lost and hopeless I was. And if I knew.

[Kodiak Red]

How old are you?

[Bryce Crawford]

I'm 21. If I knew what God could do with my brokenness, and I saw what God's done with my brokenness, then I believe God can do that with anyone's brokenness. You see what I'm saying? No matter how big or small. So that is what encourages me to love people, pray for people, have the peace in my heart because of Jesus, and interact with people. Because even if I'm in an intense situation and someone doesn't know Jesus and they're doing me wrong because God loved me, that is encouraging me to love them the way God loves me.

[Fly Soldier]

Can we talk about some. So. So, Red, do you feel like there's a dark cloud over you by any chance?

[Kodiak Red]

No.

[Fly Soldier]

No? No. Have you ever felt like there was?

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

And what changed that?

[Kodiak Red]

What changed me not thinking there's a dark cloud room?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. I guess you have to find yourself.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah. I guess I saw heal. I guess I saw life as a different perspective, and I'm more grown now, so, like, I see things for what it is, bro. Life is life. Be lifeing. People go through things all the time. It's on you whether you want to work hard or not or perseverance. Yeah. You look, listen, when you're going through it and your back is all up, you still got to get up as a man.

[Bryce Crawford]

Did you guys have. Do you guys ever struggle with lust?

[Fly Soldier]

Love, love, lust, lust, lust.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. It's Just another word for like, like.

[Fly Soldier]

You'Re talking about like, like someone's showing.

[Bryce Crawford]

You like, like lust would be like sex porn.

[Kodiak Red]

Like, like an addiction.

[Bryce Crawford]

Not even just addiction. Like that. Is that something you guys struggle with? Yeah, like lust. I have sex porn sex.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. I don't, I, I definitely did have an addiction with lust, especially when I was coming off of drugs. Yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Talk about that. Is it okay if we talk about like, can you open up about that?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, no, I, I, I even told you in the car. There was a time where I was trying to telling my mind was like I needed this girl on Monday and this girl on Tuesday. I need this girl on Wednesday, you know, this girl on Thursday, I need this girl on Friday. Every, every week was a different girl. And I had to make sure that I them and that was my goal and I did. And I just, you know, and if I wasn't, I was jerking my, so yeah, I, I was a lot. That was my addiction. Just, that's pretty much it. Like I just, I cured one addiction to another and I was a lot, a lot straight. If it wasn't, if I couldn't get a girl that was like a normal girl. I go to a strip club and, and you're allowed to them pay. I'd pay them. I'd go to massage parlors where you get the massage women. Wow. I said, yeah, I search up the Hispanic ones.

[Bryce Crawford]

And did you ever struggle with any like lust or like a tug?

[Kodiak Red]

I didn't get a Spanish woman.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

Massage parlor.

[Bryce Crawford]

So I, when I was, when I was in the fifth grade, when I was in the fifth grade, I was fishing on the beach. I love to fish.

[Fly Soldier]

I like fishing.

[Bryce Crawford]

And I got exposed to pornography when I was in the fifth grade. And you know what's crazy about any addiction is you never forget how you were introduced to the so called drug. Right?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. So yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

I never forget, I'll never forget how I was introduced to porn.

[Fly Soldier]

No, for sure.

[Bryce Crawford]

Someone showed it to me and it in the film.

[Fly Soldier]

That's kind of what happened to us.

[Bryce Crawford]

It led to, it led into this spiral of just like watching porn all the time and like struggling with lust and looking at women in a lustful way and like all that stuff. And it was so hard for me because even something like that, like, like that was one of many things that made me broken and like I wish I had help. Like I wish I had help for myself.

[Kodiak Red]

Is that what you meant when you said you got it all out of you?

[Bryce Crawford]

Like not even just Lust. Like, with everything, but in particular.

[Kodiak Red]

But.

[Fly Soldier]

But your mindset. Your mindset doesn't change. So if you see, like, a fine piece of Going to. Like, you're going to find or find. Right.

[Bryce Crawford]

I mean, I don't really, like. I'm not even saying this because I think I'm, like, weird, but I don't, like, look at women lustfully.

[Fly Soldier]

Like a figure, like a.

[Bryce Crawford]

Because. Because of. I have a girlfriend now, and I want to marry her.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

And so I always pray. One of my constant prayers is like, God, protect my eyes and allow me to see girls as your children and as your daughters and not as a sexual thing. Because I want to respect them and love them. Right. Because God doesn't see that would definitely.

[Fly Soldier]

Do it to you.

[Bryce Crawford]

God doesn't see them that way. You know, so it's like, I don't want to see them that way. And I also want to, like, protect myself for marriage one day and.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, but you're not God, though.

[Bryce Crawford]

Pure. What do you mean?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, because you said God doesn't see that way, so.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, because. Because God doesn't look at women in that way. I don't want to look at women that way.

[Kodiak Red]

Did you guys agree to wait till marriage?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I've never had sex.

[Fly Soldier]

He never had sex. He's a virgin. That's what he told me.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yep. Never had sex before.

[Kodiak Red]

You agree to that?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I want to do that.

[Fly Soldier]

I believe it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, lust. Lust will, like. It will. It will blind you, man. Sexual stuff. Like me, like porn, that was, like, a vice for me before I was a Christian. Because then when I started watching porn before I was a Christian, I thought love was sex, But I realized sex is a form of love, but that's not what love really is. Then the question was, what is love? Right? And then I realized love was Jesus laying his life down for me. Sacrifice. That's love. Love is sacrifice. Love is a choice. Love is a choice I choose, right? So, like, you guys know I love you because I choose to be kind to you. I choose to serve you. I choose to be intentional with you. So you guys would know. Okay. Bryce loves me, right?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

The same way with my girlfriend. My girlfriend knows I love her because I choose to be kind to her. I choose to serve her. I'm patient with her. I'm gentle with her. She knows. You see what I'm saying? So, like, that's what love was. But before I was a Christian, I struggled with that, you know? And then I struggled with, like, a whole different things. Anger, Pride, you know, I list the whole nine. But the reason I brought that up was because I wanted to show you, like, it doesn't matter what you struggle with. Like, God can be the answer to everything that you're. God can be the answer that you're looking for in everything else but him. Does that make sense?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

Do you ever get horny and I don't want to stick it in.

[Bryce Crawford]

I mean, bro, I'm a young man with testosterone, right?

[Fly Soldier]

For sure.

[Bryce Crawford]

But, like, I. There's like, practical things I can do, right? Like, I can go to the gym. I love going to the gym. And I work out hard.

[Fly Soldier]

I could take that away.

[Bryce Crawford]

Dude, the gym can totally take out tests. You can take out testosterone in the gym?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

It's right there. And you're like, damn, I gotta let it rip.

[Bryce Crawford]

Second thing. Glad you asked. Sexual sin is the only sin in the Bible that it says to flee from. It says to flee from it, right? So it says, don't even put yourself in that position. Seriously. So I do not put myself in the position to make a dumb decision. Does that make sense?

[Fly Soldier]

Yes, sir. So.

[Bryce Crawford]

So if I'm like, you can't you.

[Fly Soldier]

Kind of distract yourself, like, from. From sinful acts?

[Bryce Crawford]

Like, I just use wisdom, right? Like, you know, like, some people, like, positive coping.

[Kodiak Red]

Coping mechanism.

[Bryce Crawford]

Some people can't lay down because then they'll. With their girlfriend or with their boyfriend. Yeah, because they'll do something stupid. And sometimes people just need to stand.

[Kodiak Red]

Up with your girlfriend. And she's wearing.

[Bryce Crawford]

I. I choose not to. I choose not to. Now, I'm not saying that. Wait, if she's. What if she's like.

[Kodiak Red]

She's wearing, like, little booty shorts?

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, she doesn't really wear that. Like, she. She doesn't really wear this.

[Fly Soldier]

She respects herself to wear, like, other things.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, yeah. Especially like. Yeah, she. She respects herself to wear other things. So it's a matter of, like, she's choosing to dress herself.

[Fly Soldier]

So was your girlfriend a Christian before she met you?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

Where did you meet her from?

[Bryce Crawford]

I met her at a Bible study.

[Fly Soldier]

That makes sense.

[Bryce Crawford]

Okay, but like, there's like, two things, right? So, like, Maddie is dressing herself in a way where she's not going to lead me to make a bad decision. Right? And me as the man is not going to put me or Maddie in a position where we make a dumb mistake on top of that, right? As a man, I can control my testosterone and I can go work out hard at the gym.

[Fly Soldier]

I mean, it's not really that hard. I say, when it comes to, like, lust, it's not that hard to give in. You know, if you make the choice and say no, you know, it's not.

[Kodiak Red]

Hard to have sex.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, it's not hard. I would say, if. If, you know, if you're spending a lot of time with her, maybe.

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, again. Yeah, it's just. Again, like, what positions do you put yourself in? Use wisdom. Right.

[Fly Soldier]

And I don't think it's. I don't think it's hard to tell yourself. No, I don't think you have to go to gym all the time. I. I think you could tell you. So, no, you're good.

[Kodiak Red]

No, sometimes it could be hard.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. So the Bible. The Bible. There's a Bible verse in.

[Fly Soldier]

None of you have no discipline.

[Bryce Crawford]

So there's a bible verse in First Corinthians 10:13.

[Kodiak Red]

Testosterone. And you have a lot. And you're not sack.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, there's. There's this Bible verse that says, no temptation has overtaken you. That's not common to man. So.

[Fly Soldier]

Not if he looks at his, like, a temple. And it was like. Like, okay, this is gonna happen to marriage.

[Bryce Crawford]

Right. So your body is a temple. Right. So whenever I sin against my body, the sexual sin is the only sin that you sin against your body. Right. So if I were to commit sexual sin, I would be basically slapping God in the face.

[Fly Soldier]

You're give. You're giving up, you're giving out.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

So.

[Bryce Crawford]

So everything in me with sexual purity, with my body and my health, with my humility, kindness, all those things, like, I. I am choosing now.

[Fly Soldier]

You did all that for just that one moment?

[Bryce Crawford]

To love God. Yeah, to love God. That's the goal.

[Fly Soldier]

Disrespectful to God?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I want to love God with everything. Yeah, that's the goal.

[Fly Soldier]

I get it. Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

You see what I'm saying? So I feel like it was like.

[Fly Soldier]

A game he's playing.

[Kodiak Red]

It's like a relationship.

[Bryce Crawford]

It is. It is. It's a friendship.

[Kodiak Red]

A best friendship.

[Bryce Crawford]

Best friend. And it's the best.

[Kodiak Red]

You talk to him about everything.

[Bryce Crawford]

Everything.

[Kodiak Red]

Well, you know, he knows everything.

[Bryce Crawford]

He knows everything. Right, but that's. That. That's the friendship aspect.

[Kodiak Red]

But you got to talk to him.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, you got to talk to him because he wants to be trusted.

[Fly Soldier]

Study with your girl.

[Bryce Crawford]

Study like the Bible. Yeah, we read the Bible together like a coffee shop.

[Kodiak Red]

I remember when I used to go to, like, the middle school or high school, like, Christian churches and stuff, and it was fun because it was girls there, too. But when it was down to pray, like in a huddle.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

I'd feel really relieved after I opened my eyes from being closed and Amen. I feel really relieved and like, something just, like, warm. Like a warm blanket where.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

Like Christ fellowship.

[Fly Soldier]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep, yep.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I think there's just something beautiful about the peace that.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

That you find in Jesus. And I find that peace. Like, not even just believing in him, but, like, following him, you know, like, just trusting him. Trust is such a hard thing to do now.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

It's hard to trust people.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Right. But when you trust God, it's the best decision you can make, even if it's a decision you don't want to make. Like, there's so many decisions that I don't want to make that I feel like God is leading me to make. And even if I don't want to, when I.

[Fly Soldier]

Do you trust God more than your girl?

[Bryce Crawford]

Absolutely. I love Maddie.

[Kodiak Red]

How do you know the difference between if it's God or the devil? Because I heard the devil can disguise.

[Bryce Crawford]

As God, so the devil is always gonna pull you away from Jesus.

[Kodiak Red]

Okay.

[Bryce Crawford]

The devil's biggest thing. The devil already lost. When Jesus died on the cross, he lost. So the devil's gonna.

[Fly Soldier]

Was an angel. Before he was Lucifer, he was actually God's favorite angel.

[Bryce Crawford]

And then he tried to rebel against God.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

And then he fell, and now he's a devil. And because he's the devil, he wants. Because he's already lost, he's gonna do everything else to drag as many people with him because he already lost. So he's trying to distract everyone from knowing what true freedom looks like. And true freedom looks like following.

[Fly Soldier]

So have you ever seen the real pictures of. Of. Of an angel?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, I've seen him, like, with the eyes all over them and the wings. Yep, yep, yep. Those are cool. Those are called. That's a specific angel. It's called a seraphim.

[Fly Soldier]

Is that really true?

[Bryce Crawford]

So, right. So, like, it's. It's interesting because, like, yes and no, Right? Like, yes, in the sense that, like, whoever drew that picture is doing their best to draw the picture of an angel. That's been described in words. But we have to understand, like, we're limited. We live in a finite world. We live in a 3D world that was created. God exists outside of this world. So there are things that we can't comprehend or imagine that we've never seen before. So the angel might look completely different, but that picture.

[Fly Soldier]

Have you ever seen what the devil actually looks like the. The devil actually looks like an angel too.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. So, like, you know, a lot of people think he's like a guy that's dressed in all red.

[Fly Soldier]

No, he's not.

[Bryce Crawford]

He's seductive. He's handsome. He's disguised. Yeah. Because that's what he wants to do. That's the appearance of it.

[Kodiak Red]

Isn't that crazy, huh? God knew he was good looking too.

[Bryce Crawford]

I mean, bro, God loves aesthetics, right? But, like, why is he handsome? Why is he seductive? Right? Because sin is seductive. He's trying to lure you in. You know what I mean? You guys have been in the industry. Do you guys have you. Do you guys have any Illuminati stories?

[Fly Soldier]

I. I mean, I told you. Quarterback, black soda. So he did. I don't care what anyone says.

[Bryce Crawford]

What, what is that?

[Fly Soldier]

Like, he's admitted to in songs. He said. He said. He said, sometimes I gotta sell my soul for them to Pay attention. He's Haitian 1. Number 2. When I called him, he was acting completely demonic. Not godly. Okay? And that was when he was hanging out with red. He. He FaceTimed me on Red's phone and he's. He said, well, what, what, what, what's that, right? And I said, it's a 17. It's my angel number. He said, oh, yeah. I'm like, yeah. He's like, what'd that say? I'm like, I can't see it. Then he gets closer and he says, it's 17. Then I say that it says 17. He flips the camera, he smiles like a demon, like this past phone Red. And all I could feel is like he flew like a vulture. I don't know. Red seen it. But, like, when he passed the phone to you, what. What did he. What did he do?

[Bryce Crawford]

Did he fly or something in the air?

[Fly Soldier]

Because he was with him in real life, right? What do you do? Because when he passed the phone, he did it quick.

[Bryce Crawford]

He flew in the air when I came in.

[Fly Soldier]

He's. He's a demon.

[Kodiak Red]

When I came in, it was a dark. I. I put up to the hood. I'm pumping him. He didn't know I was 15, 30 minutes away in Boyon Beach. And I. He thought he had to fly me out. And I pulled up by myself. Nobody wanted to come with me. They're like, oh, I thought it was. I think it's a setup. I said, yeah, I'm gonna go link up with Yak.

[Fly Soldier]

I pulled up on him.

[Kodiak Red]

His brother leaves in a charger, like a regular rt.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, it was a gray one.

[Kodiak Red]

With tinted tents. I knew it was his brother.

[Fly Soldier]

He's in prison now.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah. His brother leaves and Kodak just comes out with a skip joint. And it was. It was like K2.

[Fly Soldier]

K2. Spice.

[Kodiak Red]

Right, spice. And he came out like a bat. Like, I didn't see him at first.

[Fly Soldier]

Like, you know, like, he's a devil.

[Kodiak Red]

He lived in the shadow.

[Fly Soldier]

Like, he goes. It is.

[Kodiak Red]

It was very dark. And then he came out and it was the yellow street, like, on us. And then he was talking to him, and I popped the Percocet with him, and so I went to strip club with him. And so, like, that vibe with him. And it was. Ever since that day, everything's been different.

[Fly Soldier]

He. He acts normal, but the thing about.

[Kodiak Red]

It changed with my mind and stuff.

[Fly Soldier]

A thing about it is he acts normal. And I'm pretty sure he act normal like whenever he's. You guys, when you got to know him. But when you first seen him, you can't sit there and act like he did not look a devil when you first dapped him up.

[Kodiak Red]

No, he looked like. To me, he was just like. It was like a rapper. I. I've been watching for a while, and I just appreciate being.

[Fly Soldier]

When you hung out with him, did he not feel like you knew him? Like you knew him in the past life?

[Kodiak Red]

I did, but I don't want to say a devil. I don't. I don't think he's a.

[Fly Soldier]

You know, he's not a demon, but he sold his soul.

[Bryce Crawford]

I get what you're saying.

[Fly Soldier]

He's not a demon. Like, he's not a devil or not like that, but he sold it. So what I'm saying is he just believes in that. And that's what he. That's what he does. But what I'm. What. What I'm trying. What I'm trying to state is like, you know, Koda. You know, I think Koda has something to do with a part of her career. And, you know, I'm trying my best to get away from that guy because he. He means no good. He really doesn't. I think what he wanted Red and I to do was he wanted us to crash out. He wanted us to be. Because I. And I got that sense from him because whenever he said. Very competitive. Yeah, he's a. Whenever he said whenever. Whenever he said something like, you better not. You better not rat. Like, you want me to crash out when you're. Is a rat. I heard you're a rat. You're a rat. And you worry about me being A rat. You're a rat. He's a rat, okay? And he's the one that's trying to go with the street Persona. I'm not. Well, yeah, okay. So that. That line me the off. And he said, I talked to. I talked to my. My mom and my mom. I should listen to my mom. My mom said, nah, I don't. With y'. All. And like, that. I don't give a. I don't give a if you with us or not. I don't care if what your mom said. I don't care. You know, like, that's just how I feel.

[Bryce Crawford]

Do you guys. So you guys are. What do you guys do now?

[Fly Soldier]

Me, I do family content. So me, I'm like. I'm on. I'm on a positive note. I got a lot of haters. He could tell you that. I have a lot of haters. Just be. Just by just being me, I. I literally just do family content. And they. People don't like it. You know, they. You know, my. My son was in a NICU for 43 days, okay? I didn't know my son was gonna live or die, okay? So, you know, that was a. That was different. You know, I went through homelessness, addiction, jail, prison, all that. I went through heartbreak, all that. But this one was different. It was the most harshest time in my life, is that my son was in NICU 40 days, and I only missed one day of not going there. And there was one day that I took place for my. My. My. My wife, because she said she couldn't go because she was starting to get NICU psychosis. Because when you go in there, it's, like, really, really depressing. There's kids in every unit, and they're all, you know, trying to survive. You hear D D and they're on cubes, and they're little babies, you know? And it's very sad because you see a lot of sad things there. You know, kids with cancer. That's. It's. It's not a nice place to go to. And I. I had a. At it. So I. I'm. Technically, I was a NICU dad. You don't think I was embarrassed that I had to sign myself in? I had to take a picture like this, so I get a tag and see my son every single day, you know? You know? No, I was embarrassed. I was like. I wanted my son to be home, and I showcased it on the Internet. I had. You know, I thought to myself, like this, like, when I was at. When I was at the hospital, and they didn't discharge my. My girl yet because at the end of the day, when your baby's in. Going to NICU or not, they separate your baby, but you're still. But she's still a patient. But she just pushed the baby out, and she had an epidural, so she's still a patient. So we're in the room alone, right? And then our baby's in a different unit in NICU until he gets transported to the real children's hospital, right? So we're sitting there, and she looks at me, and she's like, I want to be. I want to be a drug addict. And by the way, she's not a drug addict, not one bit. I said I would not allow that to happen. So I didn't let that happen. So I. I took all. I took all the hits. I took all the hits. So I went through it. I had to know myself. I went through it because I didn't want her to go through it. So I catered to her, treated her like a princess. I distracted her mind. I made. I. I made her life real good. I paid all the bills. I did everything for her just so she could not stress. I would tell her, hey, baby, I go to NICU today. You don't have to go. I'll do things like that, you know, so she won't be stressed out. Because I don't want her to ruin her life. Because this. Because you had. We had two options. Number one, we're very famous, and everyone knows that. Where's the baby? And I posted already, hey, she. We're getting. We're delivering the baby. It's already got 2 million views. Okay, so now they're expecting the baby. So now the next one is. Where's the baby? Is he at home with you guys? Nope. So we decided to do on YouTube and we talked about our life, and we said, hey, our baby's in the nicu. And we had two options, and one of them was to hide from the Internet until our baby gets out. The NICU can't do that. That doesn't sound like a therapeutic thing. That sounds depressing. Depressing. Or keep doing what I'm doing and make this into a story. And that's why a lot of people hate me. Because when I first started Snapchat, I did the NICU thing and I showed Cased my whole life on how. What it was to be a NICU dad, NICU mom. And she signed into my Snapchat, too. It's our Snapchat, so it's a whole team thing that we have. So she's doing Snapchats, I'm doing Snapchats. So we're doing all that and we're showing what is, what does it feel to be a nicu dad? NICU mom. And it was getting so many views because people were like, what? I've never seen something like this. And we would go there every single day with a whole new surprise. He's got this, he's got that, he's got this, he's got that, he's got this. And that's why a lot of people don't like me. But the funny thing about it is, is my baby, my baby was not in a nicu. You know, I'm not stupid. I knew my baby was going to end up being nicu okay, before he came out. Okay. One thing about me is, is that if my baby was not going to nicu, I knew for sure and for a fact I was going to showcase him anyways. NICU or not. So just because he was a nicu, that doesn't mean that I'm exploiting my child. That just means that I was trying to start my family channel. And I've said it from the jump since I, since I, since I. Before my baby came out and was in the belly, I said, hey look, I am doing a family channel. I am going to do it for anytime. Well, it's going to be on Snapchat or YouTube. I'm doing it. I did not think about the NICU situation, but guess what? The guess God throws you things and everything happens for a reason. So I did, so I showcased my NICU stuff and Now I'm pulling 8 million views a day on Snapchat because I showcase that. And that's why they don't like me because I'm winning and they think that I used my child, my child because that had, that had issues when he was first was born. And they think I used my child for view, for viewership and for monetization reasons. I did not I was going to start a family channel anyways. So when in their airhead mind ever think that, oh, you don't think because he was in NICU you should have never shown that. No dumb she. We were gonna have a family channel. I will showcase whatever the I want to because in the guidelines and the rules of every applications it never says you cannot post your child no matter what degree your child is on. So I show my kid getting physical therapy. I show my kid, my kid going to docs appointments. I show all that. Why? Because he's mine. You don't like it, you get to. You can watch somebody else. He's mine. We were gonna start a family channel anyways. What are you mad about? And then I'm going through my other, my other daughter, and I'm getting parental alienation. I'm seeing her tomorrow, finally, after five months of not seeing her.

[Bryce Crawford]

Come on. Praise God, man.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. So I'm finally seeing her, and I'm going through that, too. And I'm going through a custody battle with that, with my other little girl. And she was a healthy baby. She never went through anything, right? And, but like, you know, man, she. That how I look at it. She's never went through anything. But if anything, my son probably lives a better life. Why? He has two parents at home, okay? He gets catered to all day long, 24 7. He has a great mom.

[Kodiak Red]

Okay?

[Fly Soldier]

I'm not here to be angry or nothing like that, but I don't know what, what's going on with my daughter. I don't know who's taking care of my daughter. Majority of times, I just know what I know when I was dating that woman, and I know what, how she was, and I feel sorry. So, you know, just because my daughter came out healthy, we, you know, you know, at the end of the day, she needs her dad, okay? And she's gonna grow up one day and she's gonna have her own independence. She's gonna have her own mindset. I don't think he is saying, ask her mom, why was I never with my dad? What's your answer going to be? What is seriously, what is her answer going to be? Your dad was this your dad? Was that. Then why did my, then why did my dad say that he was trying to see me my whole entire life? That's when they start having their own mind. Oh, he's just lying to you. But why does my dad take so much good care of me then? Oh, because he just changed. And then the daughter's just thinking, I'm not stupid. I know how life goes. I, I, Dude, I could have been a fortune teller. I could tell how things go. So, you know, give it some years. I, and I said, I said it last night to my baby mom, my first one, I said, give us some. Give some years, and we're gonna see what she says, okay? Just like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Northwest wants to move to Japan with Connie West. At first, Northwest loved her mom, and now the mom is like, I'm in distraught. I Don't know how to feel. She want moving with her dad. Yeah, she probably wants to move in with her dad because she probably feels like her dad's cooler. It happens.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you, so you're, you. You have the family channel going. First of all, bro, so sorry that you were dealing with your.

[Fly Soldier]

And my first baby mama. She's mad because she knows that if I had my, my whole family without her, my first baby mom, right? And I had my whole family and I have no bitterness towards her, she could be part of it. It. I, I don't mind that at the end of the day because she is the mom, right? But she has to be nice about it. She has to be a nice woman. She has to be a caring woman, a cool woman. But she's not being that towards me. She's not lenient towards me. Right. What I'm trying to say is like she knows that if I had my daughter, I don't think anyone could say anything.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah, bro, I'm sorry you've been going through that.

[Fly Soldier]

I don't think anyone can say anything. Dead beware. Dead beware. She's trying to make me look like a deadbeat. But really it's parental alienation. I could show you text messages of me asking for my daughter every once a week. I would code every Monday I would ask for my daughter once a week. I finally got it to where she says, you can see her, but you have to see her with me. And it's only going to be me. Only. I said, woman, you have a boyfriend. Yeah, but it's going to be me, you and, and Kalia. Cuz she told me she wants me there. I said, I understand that she might love you a lot right now because you taught her to love you, but what if I do the same thing too? We could spew all a bunch of things to a four year old and you could say, hey, you know, I love you so much. Do you want anything? She's gonna love you so much. She's not gonna love someone that is not around them. She's not gonna know how to love that person because she's not around them. So why are you blocking that blessing of mine? Because you're bitter and you're not letting me see my daughter. My daughter can love me just as equally enough as, as the mom. The only reason why she loves the mom more is because the mom is on the birth certificate and I'm not on the birth certificate. Okay? And the, and the mom gets to keep the baby because the mom technically has More rights right now because I wasn't there, so. But why you blocking that when you know damn well that my daughter can love me just as much as. As you? You want to feel control, huh?

[Bryce Crawford]

Man, I'm sorry you're going through that, bro. I'm really sorry. That's hard and.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, so, But.

[Bryce Crawford]

But you got the man. I'm sorry, man. I'll be praying for you.

[Fly Soldier]

No, it's fine. And that's why I say it's like, you know, I had a son to heal, to heal me. And I think my son is beautiful. He is so cute. He's a blessing. He is the calmest baby ever. He is wonderful. And I just want to say like he, he, he literally, he healed a lot in my life because I always wanted a boy. Always wanted a boy. But a girl. I don't mind having a girl. I have the best of both worlds. I love my baby girl. My, my. They're two different. Two different beings. You have. I have a boy and I have a girl. A boy is going to be a boy. A girl is going to be a girl, so. And I know. I know how to be a girl dad and I know how to be a boy dad. That's just me. I'm only 24 years old and I know how to be a dad in multiverse, in two different worlds.

[Bryce Crawford]

Red, what are you up to? What do you do?

[Kodiak Red]

Basically, I live a pretty calm, peaceful life. Like mentally, like I drama free. So I don't have like baby mamas. Like I don't have a kid yet or anything like that. I have a girlfriend. I like going to the beach. I like sun gazing. I know you're not into spiritual stuff, but what's it called? I like the sun. I like the pools. I like beaches. I like providing content. I do get a lot of hate as well. Is it different from him?

[Fly Soldier]

Yes.

[Kodiak Red]

But what it called. I just deal with it how I can. And I pull big moves for what who I am. I feel like I get downplayed a lot that sometimes I fall for it. Like a manipulation like type of thing. I fall for. I fall very like low for myself when I should know who I am as a person. I'm very valuable as a person. You know, saying I. My worth is very. My self worth should be always high. So what's it called? That took me some time to realize.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Kodiak Red]

You know, like get out of a hole.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. I. I feel like. I feel like if you, If I give you some advice.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

I have you because you said Something about, like, you know, you get downplay a lot. I. I think that you should not hate. Open your mind more. And it's. And I'm not saying that you don't. Right. Open your mind more and open your ears even more. Right. I think. I think. I think your life forward would be fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

My mentor, Marcus, he told me one time, he said, a lot of people have a view of your life, but very few people have a voice in your life.

[Fly Soldier]

Right.

[Bryce Crawford]

My mentors, my roommates, like, the people that see me day to day, they have a different type of authority. They kind of approach me with, you know, hard truth or stuff. That little stings a little bit, you know, versus, like, people that see a view of your life. And, you know, even though if I hear something or see something on the Internet that I feel might be true.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Or something, I bring it to the people that are around me and say, hey, is this true? Because I do want to change.

[Fly Soldier]

I don't mean to cut you off, but, like, I. Like I said, like, everyone needs some type of guidance. So, you know, one information I downloaded in my head that I. I knew that everyone in this world, right. We're all supposed to tell each other, hey, you're meant to do this, you're meant to do this, you're meant to do that. You're meant to do this. But nobody tells anybody anything because everyone's so selfish. Yeah. If we were a little bit more selfless. Right. And, you know, but you have to be accepting. Right. You know, there's people out there that will guide you in the right area and mentor you in the right area, but you have to accept it, allow it, and just understand it. You know what I'm saying? So that's why I said, you know, you have mentors, but people like me and my brother, it's really hard for us to have mentors. And I. It would probably be amazing. We had mentors, but it'd be hard for us to have mentors.

[Kodiak Red]

Because you live with your mentor.

[Fly Soldier]

Because who are you?

[Bryce Crawford]

I traveled with him for like, a.

[Kodiak Red]

Year and a half.

[Fly Soldier]

Who are we gonna trust? It's hard. We have more trust issues than you. Because I don't know your life too much, but me looking from the inside, you know, from an inside glass house, I'm looking at you like you don't really have a problem with trust. I could tell. But with him and I, we have a harder time with trusting people. But like I said, if you find the right person, do you have trust? Issues.

[Bryce Crawford]

I think I have levels of trust issues, right? Like, I could agree with you to ace it by saying, like, sure. I think God has healed a lot of my trust issues because when I trusted God, I realized that there are people that I can trust because I learned to trust God. Right? Like, I trust Marcus. I trust my roommates. I trust my team. Like those people. How long you been with your team, these guys for? Well, I've known them before we were a team. We were just friends for years.

[Fly Soldier]

That's good.

[Bryce Crawford]

You know, so, like, I have those.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. A lot of our day one stay switched up on us. But that's why I said, like, if you. You have the right person to guide you, you're going to be successful no matter what. Like I said, red, you have a lot of potential. A lot of potential. And if you have a little bit of guidance and a little more, a little bit of mentorship, I. I'm pretty sure you're gonna be way higher than. Than you think. Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Last thing I want to ask you guys about was. And I would love to pray for you guys too, just to kind of close it out.

[Fly Soldier]

Let's get it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Would you guys still do only fans? How long have you guys been on Only?

[Fly Soldier]

No, no, we don't do only fans anymore.

[Bryce Crawford]

How long? When did you guys start? Like, what would. Y' all were on there for a little bit, right?

[Fly Soldier]

We were on there for like eight months. Something like that.

[Kodiak Red]

It got banned.

[Bryce Crawford]

What was that? Why did he get banned?

[Fly Soldier]

Because.

[Kodiak Red]

Huh. I talked about this in the car.

[Fly Soldier]

Because they thought that like, they. The feds came to only fans and said it's either you're gonna have these two twins racking up millions of dollars or. Or your multi billion dollar company is gonna be. Is gonna be took down because we kissed each other and they had a problem with it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. Wait, why did. Why did you guys kiss each other? If you don't mind me asking? Like, what. What was that about?

[Fly Soldier]

That's the devil right there. That was the greed money, greed Money, greed, money, greed.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you guys kiss each other for.

[Fly Soldier]

The greed for the money. For the money.

[Bryce Crawford]

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[Fly Soldier]

And it was. And, and, and. And that's when I realized that that money when I was making. That's when I was making a mil to 1.5 mil a month. I think he was making a little bit less than me because he started after me, but he was gonna start.

[Kodiak Red]

He was. They got me banned from only fans Unbanned.

[Bryce Crawford]

Is it. Isn't it crazy though?

[Kodiak Red]

They had Got me unbear from only.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Is it, Isn't it crazy though how even in the chase.

[Fly Soldier]

But I was going to say, but the, the money that I was receiving, it didn't feel right. Didn't feel right.

[Bryce Crawford]

You felt convicted about it?

[Fly Soldier]

I did, yeah. I felt shameful, I felt guilty and I felt full. I felt not fulfilled, like, not a fruitful like, like amount of money. All that big money that I made. I'm like, it looks good, it's amazing and everything, but I don't feel like it was well earned. Yeah, I don't feel like it was. So I was very shallow inside, very empty inside. And I wasn't taking no drugs, anything like that.

[Kodiak Red]

I always make a joke and say the devil's play money.

[Fly Soldier]

But it was. I think it was the stupidest thing. I think I look at it more like it was just because I'm going to tell you this right now, I was making 1.5 million a month.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh, wow.

[Fly Soldier]

Okay.

[Bryce Crawford]

Just for kissing each other.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Oh my goodness. And do you guys feel bad that the video so on the Internet or like that people still talk about it or like.

[Kodiak Red]

No, because I go through my days.

[Fly Soldier]

Can I tell you something?

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

I knew my only parents was gonna get banned. I knew it because like I said, I felt, praise God, I felt guilty. I. I knew. I'm like, there's no way in hell God is not gonna allow this.

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, some. Sometimes it takes him taking it away, you know, to get to get it right. Like, you know what I mean? But isn't it crazy how what you said, how you guys kissed each other for the sake of money and greedy and it still didn't even fulfill the hole in your heart?

[Fly Soldier]

No.

[Bryce Crawford]

You know, you know what I'm saying? Like that we did.

[Fly Soldier]

We thought, we thought it was a great idea, a great decision and it was. It got instant gratification. But it was stupid, stupid, stupid. It was, it just like, you know, it's basically like you might as well just clear the table with the money. Just clear it out and you take it. It was. How. It was stupid. It was dumb. It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. Something like I would say was joyful money. I would say joyful money was more like when we first blew up and we were making positive 300k a day of music. So I'll be honest with you. We were making more money when we blew up than only fans, for sure. People say Alan Boys didn't blow up. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. We blew all that song.

[Kodiak Red]

That's how we got name.

[Fly Soldier]

And we didn't just blow up off the song. We blew up off our image alone. So, look, a rap rapper will blow up after song, but they won't blow up because of their song. So you might know a lot of rap songs and you might not even know the rapper, but they have a hit song. But with us, you're gonna know it's us because we made it more of an image thing, a viral mean thing. Get what I'm. You get where I'm coming from. So we. We were. Me, we're mean stars. But we had a hit song. So how does that go together? Almost like a Soulja Boy thing.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah.

[Fly Soldier]

You know, saying. So basically what I'm getting at is like, that felt earned. I will admit to that. That. That when we were making 300k a day, that was earned money. It most definitely was.

[Kodiak Red]

They worked for.

[Fly Soldier]

Did we spend it on stupid? Yeah, I know we didn't spend on stupid. Do I feel like that we was like, young. Yeah. Young and dumb.

[Bryce Crawford]

You know, praise God. It got taken away. That's a. That's a. You know, that's a great thing. I'm glad you guys, you know, felt convicted about it, got rid of it and things like that.

[Fly Soldier]

That was only fans money.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. Yeah, man. Praise God. I mean, that's just evidence. Like, man, there's no amount of. Whether it's like, money, drugs, alcohol, substances, whatever it may be.

[Fly Soldier]

By the way, I'm completely. I'm completely against only fan of style.

[Bryce Crawford]

You are, like, before or after. And now, praise God, man, it's literally porn.

[Fly Soldier]

I'm completely against OnlyFans because I do not believe it is. It's. It's a dollar sign that you make out of whatever you're selling. You're selling yourself. You're selling your soul. That's how I look at it. And you got a dollar sign. That's. That's Illuminati right there. Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, praise God for that decision you guys made. Can you care if I pray for.

[Kodiak Red]

Girls to do only fans?

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah, I tell her she doesn't have to.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah, but it's a dollar sign, right?

[Fly Soldier]

It's a dollar sign. Her.

[Kodiak Red]

Yeah.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I mean, you know, we talked about it earlier.

[Fly Soldier]

She doesn't like. She doesn't. She doesn't. She doesn't like. She doesn't. She doesn't look at it.

[Kodiak Red]

Right.

[Bryce Crawford]

I get what we talked about earlier. Right.

[Fly Soldier]

I was the same way I did. I Did it and I wouldn't look at it.

[Kodiak Red]

I'm the same way.

[Fly Soldier]

Yeah. You know, right?

[Kodiak Red]

Same way.

[Fly Soldier]

I would go there to withdraw the money.

[Kodiak Red]

I do it with a lot of things I do.

[Fly Soldier]

But I would, I, I, I, I, I, I hated the fact of even going on it.

[Bryce Crawford]

Yeah. I mean, you know, and especially doing it. There's no amount like, you know, the money doesn't go with you when you die.

[Kodiak Red]

I remember doing.

[Fly Soldier]

No, it doesn't.

[Kodiak Red]

There was no enjoyment.

[Fly Soldier]

There was no enjoyment. And yes, the money that you make on there or any money at all, it doesn't go when you die. So like, like, like I said, like, I feel like I'm doing good now because I don't like, like now I don't even look at my bank account. I don't.

[Bryce Crawford]

So you just, what do you do? Like for financial advisory? Like you have a financial advisor?

[Fly Soldier]

No, I simply just don't. I spend 20% of what I earned. I don't, I, I don't look at my bank account because if I look at my bank account, it's either going to stress me out or it's going to make me go crazy.

[Bryce Crawford]

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[Fly Soldier]

I don't know.

[Kodiak Red]

Don't you need that stress?

[Fly Soldier]

Huh?

[Kodiak Red]

Don't you need that stress?

[Fly Soldier]

No, because I work anyways.

[Kodiak Red]

Oh, okay. Yeah, It's a good answer.

[Bryce Crawford]

Well, dude, thanks for guys. I mean, thanks for coming on the pod. Thanks for hanging out and talking. You care if I pray for you guys before we get done? Let's do it, man. Jesus, thank you so much for flying Red. God, we thank you that you love him and that you made them in your image. God, we just ask that you continue to encounter them, send people their way to show the love of the Father to them. God, would you give them dreams and visions that Jesus that you are Lord God, would you allow the word of God that was spoken today to seep into their hearts and impact their hearts? God, we thank you so much for their lives. We bless them in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
