The Lord's Supper: An Outward Sign of an Inward Reality
"You may regularly take part in communion in your local church. What does this expression of faith really mean? Are we eating and drinking Christ's physical body and blood? Today on truth for life, Alistair begg, takes a closer look at the lord's supper. Baptism and the lord's supper are communion, whatever other important ends may be intended for both of them. They were appointed as a mode for publicly professing our faith in the gospel. That by means of our celebration of the lord's supper by means of our participation in the opportunity of baptism, both contexts are an opportunity for the public profession of our faith. If people will come around and say, why do you celebrate this meal as you do, the answer is because of who Jesus is and because of what he has done, why are you going through water in this way? Why are you undergoing this ceremony or this right, the answer would be the same thing because of who Jesus is because of what he has done and because of what he has asked me to do. Both of the ordinances of the church do this for us. Augustine defined them as outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace. In each case, the sign is a visible display that points to a reality different from and more significant than itself. For example, you may know that there is a sign somewhere up on the freeway at that points to Chicago. You may know the sign you may actually have part your car underneath the sign, you may have actually pointed the sign out to other people. And you could be very familiar with this sign without ever having visited the place to which it points. There is a Chicago, you know, because there is a sign. Apparently, there are people there, but you do not know because you've never been. So the potential for being familiar with the sign without having ever embraced the reality to which the same points is clear in these trivial illustrations, but it is equally so when it comes to the matter of communion and the lord's supper. Since it is possible to participate in what is merely an outward display without knowing the inward reality to which the display points, it is therefore very, very important for us as individuals and as a church to pay the most important attention to these matters. What we have in the New Testament in these ordinances are there not as a result of men getting together and thinking up a ceremony or an institution, but they are thereby divine appointment. If you turn to Luke chapter 22, which I suggested, you might have your finger in. You find there that Jesus in verse 19 takes bread on the occasion of the last supper, he gives thanks and breaks it and gives it to his disciples saying this is my body given for you and then notice do this in remembrance of me. Why then do we have baptism on the lord's supper because they were instituted ordained, if you like, by Christ, who is the head of the church? Now, a number of you that are here this morning will, of course, have come out of a background in which you have been led to believe that there are really 7 sacraments or 7 ordinances. And if you have been catechized in your own tradition properly as many of you, I'm sure have, then you will have been believing always that you must add to baptism and to communion or the eucharist, penance, confirmation, marriage, ordination, and final unction. To you, I say this. Take all of your 7 sacraments or ordinances, and then take your Bible and look for all 7. Retain all that you find and discard all that you do not discover. When you have completed the exercise, you will discover that as an ordinance or as a sacrament, if we choose to use that word, there are only two given by Christ and underscored by scripture. Not that the issue of marriage or some of these other things is not addressed in the Bible, but simply that it is not given to us in the way that baptism and the lord's supper is given. These things emerged in the development of Christendom and largely in the Middle Ages. By the time of the reformation, the confusion concerning sacraments was far more about the nature of the sacrament itself than it was about how many sacraments there were supposed to be. The issue was, what is happening in the lord's supper? The issue was, what is baptism really mean and who should it be that is participating in it? And I think this morning in a congregation like this, if we're honest, the real discussions that we ever find ourselves having do not really an ultimately relate to the numbers involved, but relate to the very issue of what is involved. Because as time went by, baptism and the lord's supper came to be regarded not simply as signs of grace. As Augustine pointed them out, outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace, Augustine's statement was representative of a fourth century understanding of things once you had had the development of the apostolic church under the neronian persecution. But once you go forward from there, you discover that the signs of grace are now actually being thought of as containing grace and conveying grace. You understand the difference. So there's not simply that the sign says there is Chicago. Suddenly the sign is Chicago. It is not that the bread and the blood are representative of a sacrifice in the first century on a Roman hill, but it is now that the bread and the blood are the actual body and blood of the lord Jesus Christ. The symbol has become the reality. And as a result of that, we are then told it conveys the very grace that the penitent require. Now these notions are firmly embedded in the minds of not a few within our parkside congregation. And when they are embedded in the mind, then it's very difficult to them. And why would I even try to? Certainly, it would be far more sensible for me and a far easier journey for me, simply to leave it alone. But I can't leave it alone. Because if, for example, original sin is not removed as a result of the baptism

"You know what else is fucking really, really cool. The New York islanders absolutely mantle the New York rangers. I was actually thinking, but you can do it now because you clearly want you so badly. I was thinking at the end we all just sign off and we let Frankie just takes it for the last 25 minutes. The only reason why I'm bringing it up. Yeah, yeah, keep talking. The only reason why I'm bringing it up is because Joe lacava just texted me saying horrible loss for us last night horrible. And just the state of the New York rangers right now. They've made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last year. They lost to the Tampa Bay lightning. Everything about this team was momentum and they took the city back and there in Madison Square Garden and it's the best fans, hashtag no quit and why. And they're like, we got the best team. We've got Igor sterkin. Let me read off a couple of stats for you guys about Igor Schuster. Igor shish sturken and his career against the New York islanders ready for it. One 7 and one. This guy won the vesna last year. He's the king. He's the prince that was promised. The heir to the throne after Henrik lundqvist. He's one 7 and one. Let me read up another staff for you. Another telling staff for the New York islanders is dating back to 24 teen. I wasn't even working at barstool at this point. This is 2014. You fucking kidding me? The New York islanders are 15 and four at MSG. You want to talk about little brother big brother. Everybody talks about the islands being this pathetic organization. They couldn't even keep their own arena. I get it. We're not talking about that right now. We're talking about the fact that the rangers and their fans put themselves on this pedestal. Of this original 16. The number one grossing revenue team. They have the most Jersey sold throughout the fuck. I get it. They have Statue of Liberty on their logo. They're America's team. They try and be that. They fucking never deliver. This fucking team doesn't deserve the treatment of the New England Patriots or like the 90s cowboys or the New York Yankees of the early 2000s. They don't do it. Do you guys get that? I understand my team's pathetic. I know that we haven't once since 1983. I get that. But we also, we are the underdogs. We are the guys in the mud. We know our team stinks all the time. We know that the costume sucked but we loved it. You guys don't. The rangers don't think that. They think they are holier than now. And that's what makes me mad. They don't deserve that. So I like to remind them on nights like last night and today, when the islanders come back from three one in pocket MSG and we're scoring goals and Brock Nelson comes in and he scores a power play goal and tells the whole entire fucking arena to suck his cock.

"You like ten fucking shirts for the year and a couple pair of pants and that's like your deal and then maybe they have some little bonus potential in there if you win a tournament or something but his deal was essentially expiring and he was like, I love barstool gear like is there any way we could do something? And I was like, yeah, let me get you gear for now and we'll figure it out. So we're finalizing those details now. We're going to pay them. We're going to have incentives in there. We're going to get them pretty much unlimited merchandise, but he's wearing our stuff. So he's not just that he's got the logo on a hat. It's like he's wearing what we sell in the store. That's literally he goes through the store and I tell him every couple of weeks before tournament or whatever and we're going to be better about it going forward because you realize how important it is for him, but it's like I sent him the link and I'm like, what do you like? And I'll send it to you and he's like, you know, I like these unreal ones. I like this Peter Millar hoodie in a large. I like these transfusion hats. I love the rope hats. I'm like, great. So literally the shit that we sell on our website, he's wearing trying to make it a professional golf, trying to be number one in the world, which I fucking love when he says that kind of shit he's not like, I'm trying to finish tea 30 9 in the final stage. He's like, no, I want to be number one in the world, which makes sense. Like if you're going to make it and try to play professional golf, you have to believe that you can be the best at it. So the way this guy hits the golf ball after I went up to greyhawk on Tuesday and a bunch of the guys, the cart guys up there, you know, some of them play and drive but and they came up to me and were like, how about Alistair yesterday in the clutch? And I was like, I know, and they're like, he is just so pure. Like he hits the ball. It's just known. People whisper around town. Nobody hits the ball like Alistair hits the golf ball. He hits it a fucking mile, his swing is so perfect. And so yeah, I mean, him, it's just great. It's awesome. It's really, really cool.

"To try proper wild for 30% off. man. How about that is what it takes to make it, you know? But that's just the corn ferry tour. Right. That's so true. 8 starts on the corner. So what does he have to do to get a PGA tour card? What's the actual path? It changes next year. He's got to finish in the top 30. Sufficiently the top 30 and how many players are on the corn ferry tour. So like kind of the same as the PGA Tour, like one 5200. Wow. Okay. But then there's guys who graduate and play once and win and but it's different. There's not this year the last like 5 years there's been these corn fairy finals where there's like the lowest guys from the PGA Tour play the best guys and there's more cards. There's none of that now because they're given ten PGA Tour cards to the European tour guide. So it's changing. You just got to finish in the top 30 of the season long race. And after 8 events as a reshuffle. So if he plays really well in those 8 events, he'll have full status he'll be in everything the rest of the year. If he doesn't, it's an uphill battle yet again. Right. If he wins a corn ferry tour event, what does that do? 90. Unless he misses the cut and basically every other week, he's more than likely to get it. Boy, we're gonna have to like fly to a tournament if he's like, if he gets off to a good start, he has a good smashed. He gets a good Thursday, Friday, and he's in the lead. We have to go. Also, there's nobody at these things. Like, we show up. We'll be able to carry his fucking clubs. Be great. The corn ferry tour would love to have us there. I'm sure of that. Dude, I got that guy. I have a buddy that has been trying to get us to do this stuff. For years. He's like, he has that company. I was telling you guys about that carry company where they all just like invest in these stories. It's not just people, but it's like, it's basically like you're investing in a stock, but they find these guys like Alistair and they all get together and they send out these stories, just like Alistair just said, they don't know what they're gonna do, they're sitting in the car. And they send updates, they do little videos. They wanted to merge with us to do like content around it. And I was always like, you know, I don't know, it's fucking cute school. It's like, and I was like kind of blind to the idea that like, I kind of knew from how passionate they were about talking about it, saying, you don't get. This is Netflix style drama that's happening. Every week, every Monday, it's unbelievable. There's life and death on the golf course. You're not, we're having these arguments about Liv, and PGA Tour, what actually matters. These guys are getting paid millions of dollars, and they don't even care.

So now planning for next year, I mean, you gotta like, who handles your handle, you gotta book your own book in your own travel, figuring out you're playing in all 8, you know, so it's like you're just kind of mapping it out.

Here we go. Here we go. There it is. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Perfect. Alistair wolf. There's no way I can remember that question. Are we even introducing on the show? Have we talked about this? Or did we say that pre show that he was coming on in an hour? We talked about it off the top. Okay, good. Okay, I think your connection is way better now. Are we better for you? Are we choppy or no? Yeah, I can hear you good. Perfect. Let's go. So my question was that the Q school and all that bullshit for people like us, normal golf fans, very confusing, very muddy. We pretty much know PGA Tour. We know winning on the PGA Tour. We know majors. Once you get into Q school, final stage, Monday, qualifying, conditional status, all this bullshit. It's very hazy. So I was trying to do a little bit of research and see how close you've been before. How big is this? Is top 40 versus finishing 42nd life? What's going on here? And I looked in 2019. I think you started with 29 on your first 9 holes in Q school finals ended up missing by like a stroke. You've never had this much status and guaranteed starts 8 guaranteed starts. So I was wondering for you like, does this feel like you have more of a runway than you've ever had and is this as different and successful of kind of an opportunity for you as you've ever had by a mile? Yeah, absolutely. But by a mile is right, I can make my own schedule. I can travel the way I want to travel. I don't have to try and Monday into a tournament and then if I do Monday in, then I'm exhausted going into the tournament kind of thing. So yeah, having guaranteed starts is huge and it doesn't matter how you get guaranteed starts, but guaranteed starts is what you have to have because like you said in 2019, I ended up finishing I want to say T 60 or T 60 one or something at final stage. Well, I'm not guaranteed anything. So I'm making Monday qualifiers of regular things and traveling and doing Mondays and even if you're playing well, there's no there's no guaranteed money or nothing. So Mondays are hard and having guaranteed starts. You can go play golf and just everything's right in front of you. So this time last year, maybe a month or so later.

"It's sort of these one off things that ultimately led to him spiraling out of control almost killing himself multiple times and I think being pretty fucking miserable at times that he told these other women that he was dating, how miserable he was. I think that all comes with the pictures behind me of him celebrating and being the greatest at his sport, the thing that he loves the most, what drives him and becomes who he is. I think all of that encompasses one idea that he would never trade it in for anything. He would never trade those fist pumps behind me in that photo for anything else regardless of how sad and poo poo face he was during all these bad moments, the tragic moments he would never ever trade being Tiger Woods. That's insane to think that. I do think there had to be a couple moments where he was like, I wish this would all go away. So you think it's the fame and the fortune or the bat because like Roger Federer, for example, do you think he has the greatest life of all time because he's basically like Tiger Woods without any of the scandals? I genuinely don't know enough about roger, but he seems like he's having a pretty good time. I don't either. And look, there's just a lot of different, in my opinion. And I don't think he would just trade it in. I'm with Trent where I think there have been moments throughout his life. Just guessing where he's like, I do wish things were different. Like right now. I'm not saying he would right now if you offered him the fucking chance, trade everything in all the fist pumps, all the majors for like, you could just live a pretty average life. I'm not saying he would do that. But I think there have been many, many, many times throughout his life, where he's like, fuck, I just wish things were like different. And he hasn't been overly happy person. For long, long stretches. And I think that the things that we're talking about, which a lot of them are pretty materialistic, don't automatically just lead to pure happiness and content and self satisfaction. We see quite famous successful people all the time, commit suicide, take their lives, they go through horrible like mental health, and I'm just saying that I think a lot of negative things that have happened to Tiger have affected him in such a negative way that I think there's been long stretches of his life, which I think has been pretty evident by things that have occurred in his life where he is not been a pretty content, happy person. Now, he's Tiger fucking Woods. I would love to be Tiger Woods, but I'm just, like, I don't

"I just saw a clip from two bears one cave where Bert kreischer just said that he's more athletic than Tiger Woods is. So had he been born in Earl Woods house and given a club at two years old, he would have been better than Tiger Woods. He thinks it's more nurture than nature. Where do you guys fall on that? The fact that Tiger was given this opportunity to do something that no one else has been brought up to do. Like, do you think that the more athletic person somewhere? I'm not saying that burger crush is more athletic than Tiger Woods. That's what he's saying, but it fucking JJ watt was born into Earl Woods house, like does he just become the greatest fucking golfer of all time? My question, my head immediately went to you, Frankie, if you were an Earl Woods house in Earl gave you the title. Pathetic. How quickly do you think you'd have a mental breakdown? I would say, dude, you can go to plenty of youth golf tournaments and hockey tournament soccer tournaments. There are plenty of children that are raised like Tiger Woods was raised that just suck and just are not as good. Like a lot. Yeah. And part of what that story is, unfortunately. Terrible story. Right, because the Tiger Woods story is 2° away from being incredibly sad. It works. Earl Woods is in prison. The Tiger Woods story could be turned as a tragedy with the right underlying music in the documentary. I thought that I thought the HBO documentary that was one of my main problems with it. It did kind of make his life seem like a tragedy. Well, I mean, are we about to get into this debate? I mean, the guy's got a $1 billion. He's probably the greatest golfer who's ever lived. He's got children who absolutely adore him and he's got a family. The Tiger Woods is life is better than your life right now. Yeah, dude. I don't. Well, what do you mean by bet? I mean, he can't go out anywhere. He can't do anything. He can't live, I don't know that he knows his head. It's a pillow. I don't think he is, he literally has like all these drugs to keep him alive and walking. I don't think he's a happy person day in and day out to you. I do, and when his head hits the pillow, he knows that he's the goat. He's the greatest who ever did it. That's a level of deep satisfaction that I don't think any of us will ever be able to relate to. He would never answer the question, but I would love to know seriously in his heart of hearts, was it all worth it? Yes. Okay. It was all worth it. He's the greatest. If he won two majors and he was like kind of flamed out or whatever, then it's like, is it all worth it? This east Tiger Woods 30s. And he's got through all that and his Q score. To you, like who is he to him? That's different. Dude, he can barely talk.

The fourth guy was trying to get Friends Taylor Fritz is an American Tesla personally a fan. I don't know. You could have said something to him. I feel like. Yeah, I mean, you know, we did. We were like, what's up Ricky? And you're just like, all right. Just like kept driving. All right, near he almost hit us with his car. Every time we're leaving TaylorMade media day, Rickie Fowler has to stop his vehicle so that me and trunk can walk by. That is a fact. We're three for three. I want to be clear as well that we had this exact same relationship with Rory two years ago. When roar is different, man. Rory, yeah, I guess we did. But we always left the shadow of the doubt that he was always too dialed in his tournament. Remember wingfoot, Frankie, we had like the longest march directly at each other in a tight, basically hallway that was created just outside the Clubhouse, and it was me and Frankie, and it was Rory and Harry diamond, walking from like a 150 yards out right at each other, and we were like, here we go. And he just marched right past us without a look in the world. Me and Frankie were staring at his eyes, trying to get any kind of eye contact. And nothing. And we did a whole show, I think, being like, that guy fucking hates us. I know, but like looking back, it's wing foot, it's the U.S. open. It was COVID year. I think he was coming off probably a bad finish on 18, and he's like storming into the Clubhouse. He doesn't care who's left or right. I don't know. I think we definitely look too far into the Rory mcelroy thing. Now, obviously we talked to him for like a half an hour in the ballroom and he knows everything about us and he stopped us at the country club in Boston. So the most impressive human being, I think I've ever encountered. A 100%, 100%. And it's just, yeah, it's phenomenal, like being able to have that relationship now with that guy. And I don't think we'll ever have that with Ricky nor do I even care at this point. The fourth in that four song, by the way, was Taylor Fritz, who's an American tennis player, and Dave tweeted after he goes, tried to explain how I created his wife's first nickname 20 years ago. I don't think he really understood still fun day. Right? Yeah. Yeah, so maybe he doesn't know the history. I guess they kind of they smooth things out a little bit, I think. And I guess there's a chance that that would have just never come up between Allison and Ricky. Like she might have just never in there 5, 6 years together, whatever it's been, been like, by the way, like barstool used to blog that probably just never ever think they talked about.

"But if you put like a max homeless scramble, that's gonna do well almost no matter what because people like him so much, but Kevin kisner is just like, who's this guy? And then he people find out what he's about and what he's like. And he's just so interesting and funny to watch on a golf course that videos with him get millions and millions of views. Before you guys kind of like shined a light on kisner, I thought he was of the kind of Hudson swafford Harris English like Russell Henley mold where he was just like a quiet southern dude. Playing on the PGA Tour making his 1.7 million a year and not really talking much outside of that, but it couldn't be further from the truth. He's full of personality and I don't just think people are starting to understand that. It's wild to think back to when I was watching the 2015 players championship and kids had the putt on the 72nd hole to win and he barely burned the high side and how hard I was rooting for that to miss because that meant there was a playoff with Ricky, Sergio and kisner. And then that whole playoff just being like, come on, Ricky. And I like Ricky. I have no negatives. Ricky gets a lot of Ricky Shay shots, but now when you look at the personality of Rickie Fowler, he's pretty fucking boring outside of how well he's been branded. You're right. It's kind of a thing. And you look at Kevin kisner, it kisses the guy. He's incredible. So it's like I was rooting because I just didn't know any better. So hard against kids and had he won that player's championship. Think about how big that would have been for him, especially at that time. Huge. It makes you wonder what other guys are just like beauties that we don't know about. You know what I mean? I was thinking that same thing. I think we got really lucky. Maybe we didn't, but I think we might have because I would love to think and the PJ tour would love to think that there's just all these diamonds in the rough where if you show a spotlight on them, they're gonna shine and they're gonna have this hilarious personality, all this back and forth, busting balls the whole thing. I don't think anyone is to that level with kisner. Now again, I could be wrong. I have no idea. But it would appear that we got very lucky with Kevin because he has an insanely funny personality. And like, I don't know, I don't want to throw any names out, but I don't know who out there would be like, oh, I think that guy's boring and then you play a scramble against them and it's like, oh my gosh, this guy is one of the funniest guys on tour.

It's not going to better yourself. That's not going to put yourself in the right mindset to execute. But now it's like you've gone, I've gone through so much as you deserve to be here. Just do it. You know you are good enough. And you have proved that you're good enough. Just do it. Just let your play let your play take over. And go play golf the way you know how to do it.

So we're going to start with that because we were doing our typical MO, which is where you start talking about everything before the show that we should actually talk about on the show. So now we have hit record and this is the show. You're listening to the show. We have Alistair Doherty on the show who obviously just got T 29 finish very weird situation on Monday where we were talking about on the show. He was cruising. I think at four under 200 for the day, a couple inside the cut line and then as soon as we hit fucking stop on the record, he doubled the tenth hole, was outside the cut line and then played the last several holes at two under and came in inside the cut line, T 29, first 8 starts, the best status he's ever had. A huge part of that, which I totally forgot about is he now has access to practice at all TPC courses which I didn't think about that. Alistair last couple of weeks getting ready for final stage would text me every day being like, hey, is it like can we go up to greyhawk so that I can practice up there because he's not allowed to like practice places and most places that have a nice range around here, you've got to pay like a hundred bucks or whatever just to have access to practice throughout the day. The guy couldn't fucking practice. He was going to indoor golf simulator facility that would let him do it for free, but he couldn't fucking practice anywhere. So now he's got 8 guaranteed starts. He's got places to practice. He's got membership on the corn ferry tour for the 2023 season, which is fucking awesome. He flew back late last night from Georgia to Arizona. He's going to join in the second half of the show. Tiger Woods, who's a bigger name than Alistair, sorry out. A lot going on with him.

"Just like in volume one, each devotion begins with a passage of scripture, followed by a commentary that explains more about the verse. Alistair recently took a minute and recorded a shortened version of one of his devotions, so let's give a listen. Now I would remind you brothers of the gospel I preach to you, which you received in which you stand, and by which you are being saved. If you hold fast to the word, I preach to you. Unless you believed in vain. For Corinthians 15, one and two. The good news of the gospel can so easily be forgotten or taken for granted. If we begin to feel that we need to go beyond it, are we find it irrelevant in our lives or affections we should be concerned not complacent.

"It takes up a little space right now. This is real, by the way, Alistair Wanda brings a kangaroo to the games. It's little right now. It's a baby kangaroo, but when this thing's 5 and a half feet tall and wants to sit in the back seat. All right, an offense. Sorry, I knew about this. Right now, yes, but yeah, when you grow us up, he's not going to be riding shotgun, I believe. I knew about the zebra, but this is a real, I knew about the zebra. You still have the zebra, but this is a real kangaroo. This is like some blowout thing. Oh yes. Yes, yes, I'll post something. Yeah, it's a real, it's a real kangaroo. I think his name is Rufus. And he wears a scarf and ghost of baseball games. It's Ruth. You have the best life you really do. And she just built her change one of the barn stalls into a cage for a couple of lemurs. Yeah, that's her latest project. I'm trying to build a monster garage and she's building the lema garage. Lemur garage. Lema garage. Let's see if I can find it. Not worried about Goldberg's garage, you actually becoming a zoo. No, it's warm to this whew. They're two separate entities they. No, it will not become a suit. That's why it has an electric fence around it. So no animals can get near it. The garage probably does. Yeah, right. But yeah, you'll see photos. She legit carries this thing around to pat. I'm trying to find a thing. Rides rides shotgun. And her car and on her on the UTVs and all that stuff. So it's just kind of an interesting thing. Kinda? I'm just saying, it's kind of interesting thing. Anyway, because I know she had the Range Rover and she seems to really enjoy the range over. Had it for a couple of years, so I guess you guys got it new because the debacle with the escalade a couple of years back. So yeah, I've got the most recent full size Range Rover. We love it. Absolutely love it. I have no knocks on it whatsoever. None, et cetera yeah. I mean, the size is okay. I mean, I can fit it in fairly well. I mean, I could use a little bit of width. But other than that, I mean, I drive the vehicle almost as much as she does. And I actually love the view. It's a great car. Yeah, I think you're like the new one built as well because it's really just, it obviously I'm driven it yet, but it just builds on those basic basic premise of, you know, it's a bit bigger, it's a bit posture. It's just, you know, it's a nice way to travel. So I love it. You know, it's interesting because you said Wanda may want a G wagon. I always thought the G wagon was kind of small on the inside. It's not, it's not. It's not a real big deal. She wants that when gage is out of high school. And actually, it doesn't matter anymore because gage has got his Bronco and two months to be driving that. We won't have to Uber him around it. Right. Well, you fit in a G wagon Bill. Have you sat in a G wagon? I'd be a little bit worried for you in a G one. It's been a while. I mean, I can fit in one but comfortably, I can not say that I'm uncomfortable. Okay. So she can do what she wants. All right, just the thought. It's a little snug. That makes it for real eyeballs. Does she need that? I'm not sure, but she likes the visual of the gelatin. So she's my wife. I got to make her that. Yeah. All right. Well, guys, I appreciate it. Alice, I know you're gonna hop off to another meeting. So we're just about wrapping up here. Anyway, appreciate it. We had a little bit of a connection issue with Bill. So I apologize for that. But we're here, it's good. It's all good. So Alistair Weber always a pleasure. It's been a minute since we had you on. I think maybe that baby got in the way of our regular programming schedule, but you're here reading. Here are your back.

Follow our buddy, weaver on cars on Instagram and oh wait, did you change Twitter? Is it Alistair weaver? Is that it's got a boat on Twitter. Yeah, if you look for allies to weave, or we've run cars, you'll find me on Twitter. Okay, there you go. There's nobody can spell out this stuff. It's a problem. Nobody gets Bella Alastair.

"That's a bit harsh. That's even harsher. For the 9 14. All right, we're getting a little closer. Closer to it. Speaking of the last sort of hurrah in a gas engine vehicle, I have been driving the Cadillac CT four black wing. And we're doing some stuff with Cadillac and with GM and I've got a handful of vehicles, and I wanted to sort of space out these vehicles in the proper order, it was a little difficult. So this is what we ended up doing. CT four blackwing, and then Corvette C 8, and then escalade new escalade, and then CT 5 black wing. And that's what I'm going to be getting them over the next several weeks. The escalade, we fit in there because Chris is getting married in Palm Springs and we need a we need a travel vehicle and then we leave palm strikes and go directly to the Grand Prix of Long Beach, and we've got some people going with us for that. So that turned into the travel car that we fit in between, which I thought was a great way to do it. But this Cadillac this CT four. Now, Alistair, I saw your video that the drag race video, you drag, that's the name of the show, right? You drag sister new show? I saw the one that you guys did, super impressive. I think you did the Cadillac CT 5 versus the Corvette. C 8, right? Wildly different horsepower numbers. Both impressive on the skid pad when you hit that turn. I believe the CT 5 had a manual transmission in it. The Corvette is only automatic. Yeah, that's right, yeah. And very, very impressive video. Now I'm driving the slightly smaller version of the CT for. It's the twin turbo V 6. I think it's like four 72 horsepower. It has the manual transmission in it. I want to save the zero to 60s about four seconds. The CT 5 is probably four or 5 tenths even quicker than that. And I will tell you right now driving the CT for it is so much fun to drive. And I know a lot of it is the manual transmission, but the CD4 is today. It's a little four door sedan. It's three series size. Bill, obviously, a little snug for you in this car. Maybe the CT 5 would be a better fit. But just a round town in LA and parking it and on the side of the road and the meters and all that stuff, right? Having the slightly smaller car seems to fit and I just think that Cadillac did a really good job just balancing this thing as it's a very easy to drive very smooth ride, nice feedback with the suspension and the steering that you were talking about with the Bronco. And then it is just fast and you can just leave it in kind of a sport mode and you could do like a my mode and the my mode right now is kind of set up for open exhaust. So it's got a little bit of a volume change in the exhaust. You kind of just leave the exhaust sporty and it is, it is fun to drive. I just maybe it's just because you've got this manual transmission and you're rolling around going. It's still a pretty functional car. It's got a decent little trunk in it. You know, I just put a bunch of bags and luggage and stuff in the trunk that I was moving from my place to the warehouse. The manual transmission is easy to drive. It shifts nice, the clutches, you know, fairly light. I was just sitting in traffic and I was like, you know what? This is a fun car. And I don't know how much longer we're going to have something like that. And was it Nissan, Alistair? I think it was at Nissan that filed a patent on simulating manual shifting in an EV. It's not, I don't think it's real manual shifting, but I think Nissan filed a patent. And somebody else wouldn't be real manual shifting because there's no gearbox. There's no gearbox, but they're saying you would get in the car and you would shift it. And I don't know what it's doing. I haven't heard about that much. That might be missed in a diaper change, but I'll look into it. I'm trying to even imagine how that how that would work. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't dig into the patent too much, but obviously it's simulated somehow. They're doing, they're doing something with it. Did I can't see you guys get to see it wasn't available in a manual transmission. Yes. Yes, that's correct, right? That's correct. So you broke up for a minute, Bill. Now, CA is double clutch floppy paddle gearbox as standard. Yeah, they just to get the performance out of it. And at the horsepower level that they're at, that was kind of the way to do it. Look, both of these cadillacs, the CT four, the black wing and the CT 5, I'm sure they're a tenth or two or three quicker with the automatic transmission. I just don't think it would be as much fun..

"Well, the thing is we tested, right? We nearly three years on, nothing's changed. Apart from the chrome trim is now black. And the price has gone up by 30% or whatever. So all I'm doing is buying the same car for 30% more. And why would I do that? So actually, I'm not, you know, I have a lot of fun with Tesla and everything else, but as a car, it's been really good for us. The charging infrastructure is fantastic, so it's worked really well. So if there was something interesting out there, I'm certainly not anti Tesla. It's just, you know, the model wise, I'm not a big fan of the model Y it's got a lot more expensive as well. The cyber truck. Yes, that's right. Family vehicle? Yeah. And that's definitely arriving this year. Get your markup. No markup. Okay, so Bronco as well. Now all of these vehicles you've driven, but, you know, Bill Scott, well, gage Goldberg has a Bronco that I don't think he's allowed to drive yet. So I don't know if bill's driving it or they're just staring at it. It's going in for a nice flat back flat black rat next week prior to the wheels tires bumpers, lights and all that kind of accoutrements, but. I don't know. I'll give you my two cents on that vehicle. It's a four door. It's a pretty base model. I can't remember exactly which model it was that we chose, not the wild track, but I can't remember which one of us. Anyway, it's the four door. I'd like for the suspension and the steering to be a little more reactive and a little more responsive. Honestly, it feels like a little shit box. I love that I love the vehicle itself, but as far as the driving is concerned, I wish it was a little more stable. That's not why you're buying a Bronco though, but you know, I'd steer away from it. If it was a family vehicle. But that's just my two cents. Yeah, I think this is the issue because we actually bought Edmunds bought as just got our first edition, which was, as you know, I think we talked about enough on this show was delayed by a year. And that is the first edition with the soft scotch package and everything else. So the massive wheels. And won't fit in my garage, which was the first shock. But also once you get it into that, it's true. Actually, it doesn't stir that well because it's got massive off road tires and it sits really high. So I've driven that one, I've driven the outer banks as well, which is the more road focus, one that's the one with the side steps and things like that. And you start off thinking that you want the one with the soft scotch and everything else. But if really you're knocking around on the road or maybe taking it skiing and stuff, actually the outer banks is probably where you want to be. And that's a nice, it's much nicer on the road. And it drives much nice and a Wrangler. But it's still, and what I like about it, especially with kids, you know, those like, you can just chuck all the crap in it and not worry about it too much. But then it is a little bit utilitarian still. And then the idea of the defender, I suppose, which is maybe why they pitched it is, it's just a slightly posha version of a Bronco, and you can't take the roof. You can't take the roof out, you can't, you know, you can't take the doors off and all that cool stuff. But honestly, how many times are you going to do that? And the defendant is just a nice thing to drive around on the road. So I do worry about the problem. Let me throw something. Let me throw something out there to you. Alistair. If the Bronco is what you end up choosing, I have one going to production right now that you can have. A 100% because I got two reservations just by a whim. Obviously the first one was for gage in second, the second one is obviously not for me because I'm the Dodge guy. So, you know, it's about to go to production here fairly soon. So give me a call if you want. It only costs you a hundred bucks. Is it black? It's black, I think. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay, that's good to know, Bill. Might talk offline about that. I'm just saying because of that, I've got to give it to someone else, right? And I'm not going to order the vehicle, and it's already set for production. So there you go. I will talk to the powers that be this car it really is. To occupy. Now Wanda will be here in a minute. You said Mach-E as well, which we're all kind of fans of. I think you guys did well with that car, right? Yeah, we just bought one actually. We did have to pay a bit of a market. I think about 5 grand of market Edmonds, but we bought one, but yeah, there are nice driven outs yet, but I've driven them plenty in the past, but yeah, it's a nice thing and it's an interesting car and I guess what we're trying to work out is do we want like last one last fun gas car, you know, because realistically I'm probably thinking, I will buy this and keep it in if it's something like a bronchial defender try and keep it 5 or 6 years or something. So do we have white one last gas car that we can bounce around in off road or whatever and have some fun as a family or do we like stick down the EV route and I guess that decision. Is there anything new that's coming out that does sort of fit the timing, it feels like everything we've been talking about for the past year was all two years away anyway. So now that I think you guys just did some testing on the Hyundai is the ionic 5, is that a new EV that they have. There's a couple, you know, a handful of things we all like genesis as well. You know, and they're not all have to be electric, but there's some good, like you said, some good at gas engine cars out there as well. Yeah. For Ferrari to come out with the SUV. That's right. Well, actually, you said Maserati came out with the yesterday, which is like a little McCann rival, which apparently is going on sale in the U.S. later this year. Looks like a European fort puma if you ever see one of those, but that looks quite cool. But I guess that's going to be a ton of money. And then, yeah, I mean, I only 5, I say it's a ton of money like everything's a ton of money, even I only 5 is getting into 50 grand, but it's the ionic 5 looks like something out the sort of cool 80s vibe about it. And I've driven it, I really like it. Reminds me of the old Nissan cube and that it's quite sort of soft and springy, but it's just a nice family thing. And then the EV 6, which is the Kia version, is a completely different car, looks really cool, a lot more sporting, really sharp to drive. So both of those are both of those are really.

"We've got, by the way, we've got Alistair. We could bring Alistair in, but there's a couple different treatments that you can do the cosmoline you can do, which is kind of that kind of the brownish tinted oil that's a rust preventative. If you need it in California, you probably don't. There's a wax version, there's sort of a clear wax version that you can do. And then they were saying that on some very high end cars. I'm very expensive, high end cars. They can do a ceramic coating all underneath on the chassis of the car. But unlike the ceramic coating on your paint, where you buy very little and you just kind of wipe it on, it's very, very thin. They have to spray it. So they end up buying like 5 times as much. I'll tell you that process is expensive. It is probably two. To ceramic coat, the complete underside of your car, it's probably about $6000. Oh my God. So you got to have to really want it. You got to have to really want it. But now if you start thinking about, oh, you know, if you're sitting on a ten, 12, 14, $20 million collector car, racing car, and you dry ice blast the whole underneath the thing, and then you want to ceramic coat it. I guess 6 grand for your $40 million car is not the worst investment in the world, but no, but how many of those guys are out there, right? I don't know, I can tell you that the guys that we talked to have said, they've done the process, certainly on their own cars to kind of figure it out and make sure it's all the way they thought. But very few people have opted for this option so far. Very few people. I think like one has opted for a $6000 ceramic coated undercoating. How filthy how filthy is the work area when you're done? You know, it depends on how much is on the car. It's gonna take everything off of the car. Any grease and grime and dirt and whatever. So it's really just a matter of that. But it's just the contaminants that come off the vehicle. That doesn't lend itself to an addition of the craft that's on the floor. How I understood it was no. It's not like there's no media like a sandblasting or shells or any of that stuff. But I'm gonna go down there when they're doing it. I'm gonna get some pictures and a little bit of video of seeing the process and what kind of take it from there. I keep seeing the before and after I've seen some YouTube videos, but I kinda wanna see the in person myself before I can absolutely recommend it one way or another. But it seems like a very interesting process. And I said underneath the car underneath the sack Mustang because it is original. There are like the paint pen marks when they've locked down the suspension pieces and the shocks and all that stuff. And you can keep all of that stuff there. It does not have to remove any of that stuff. You can dial back the pressure, leaves all the paint, everything it just really kind of removes the dirt and the grime and the oil and all that stuff. So very, very cool process. Quite an intricate process. Yeah. Now I'm figuring out why it's taken by the taste. And it's expensive. It costs about, I think, to do the undercarriage and the engine compartment. About 2500 bucks is what it would cost just to do this process, you know? Yeah, so it's not inexpensive. But relative no, it's all red. It's completely on what you do and what the vehicle. All right, so we're gonna try that out. We'll get back to you guys when we get it over there. The guys had galloping out of sports are just about done with the car, they fixed the bumper, changing all the fluids, everything is getting done. So then we're gonna get it cleaned up. It'll be in pretty nice shape. All right, so let's just welcome Alistair weaver to the show. Alistair, how are you, buddy? I'm okay, thanks. Thanks Matt, clinging on. Yep, now he's a two time dad. By the way, congratulations. Little boy, little boy. Little boy, little Dorian is his name. Dorian. So I'm getting three hours sleep, and I've got a stomach problem, which means I'm not allowed caffeine. You look fresh and chipper, man. Look at you. You don't look like you got too little ones. Yeah. Well, man, your makeup artist has been great. Yeah, right. Well, congratulations. I see Edmonds is better than very, very active. I'm not sure how much you've been able to get out into the field and do some tests they can do some videos, but I know you've got a good crew that you rely on, but because Dorian is fresh and new, shiny and new. I've been on paternity leave for a month, yeah. So just about getting up to speed with 10,000 emails. But yeah, a lot going on. Huge amount of things got quite a bit exciting things coming up for me as well. Got a big thing to me with the lucid next week. Driving the new Range Rover in a couple of weeks time. I've also been shopping for a car of my own, which is, which is always actually a family car to replace a Tesla, which is incredibly difficult in the market at the moment. Yeah, okay. Well, and what respect because there's so many out there? Oh, it's just, you know, where a year to go on the lease, but actually you need to start thinking about it now. And it's crazy, you know, we're a year out, but the days have gone when you just turn up at the dealer and barter a deal and take something off the lot. So, you know, already thinking about how you chop it in. And one of the challenges actually with having a leases, if we're going to special order something that might take 6, 8 months, ten months or whatever to arrive, how do you time it in tune with your lease and then can you turn your lease back early? There's all this sort of game to play. Which actually brings up a good question or any of the manufacturers willing to work with you on this. Now it stands to reason that if you stay with the same brand, I'm not saying you have a Tesla, but anybody in this scenario that has a Tesla or Audi or forward or whatever. If you stay within the.

"Hello, welcome to car cast. I'm at the moderator deandra here with Bill Goldberg as always. Oh, my friend, how are you? I'm good, man. I'm good. Progress is stalling a little bit on the garage. But other than that, I'm in a terrific move. You know, progress may be stalling on the garage, but I see that Wanda's Zeus seems to be growing. She's been building on the garage. Grows exponentially by the moment. You know that. Yeah. Just a great job over there, but yeah, I saw that, I don't know if it's monkeys or lemurs or whatever, but she built it. I don't know what it is either, man. It's a case of being built for whatever sequence at the end of the day. Well, there's animals in there. Oh yeah. We'll see how long they last. And I saw her as far as us keeping them, not as far as their life expectancy. Right on. Well, I mean, they're eating cinnamon toast crunch the other day, so that can't be healthy. I'm sure she's got other plants, but yeah, I mean, you know, we're trying to see how, you know, their diet and diabetes with a lemur, right? I don't know, well, they do a lot of cardio, so they'll probably be fine. Eat a lot of fruits, but balance is that. Balances out. Well, speaking of the garage, I know you said progress has been stalled a little bit, but you did post up the video that you and I saw the other week. You know, a lot of the bones are going up, that slab is done. I saw some of the walls are going up on the exterior. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah, it's almost, I want to say tightened up for weather, but we're a couple where a couple panels short of completing the roof as you can see for a couple of panel short of completing all the insulation on the outside. You know how the system is right now, man. If you're down four or 5 seats of this or that, it's going to be a pain in the absolute ass to get it. We're waiting for product. Like everyone else? Yeah, like everyone else is. Yeah, that's kind of going to be the case. Have you made any other and let's say, let's hope not, but have you made any other alterations? Well, yes, I put a water fountain in the middle of the middle of the wafer in which yes is going to come. Yeah, that's not too bad as long as it's close to a sink or something where there was water anyway. Well, yeah, as long as the walls are finished in and you know, we can we can we can adapt and overcome at this point. Now is to put it this way. Now is the time to really do it, right? So nothing earth shattering. But I mean, I do realize that it's coming together because yesterday I put the four plan in place for the weight equipment. So we're moving slowly but surely, but if anyone knows what that's all about, it's you. Yeah, right. Right. Well, it's good. It's exciting. As you say, when you're starting to plan the actual gym and where the equipment is going to go and taking some measurements and stuff. And you know, I just did a small version of that in the warehouse over here. And then you kind of have to take into account, when you're bloating plates, how much room you need because you'd be surprised how many times you're loading, you're loading a plate, and it slips or you're dropping it, and you step back, but then you hit a wall. So that plays it in your feet if you don't have a little bit of room. So I just did basically what you were kind of talking about. We did the whole layout. We had Swiss tracks. Do the tiles for the weight room. And I realized I need to go another foot wider or so. So we just ordered like another line of Swiss track tiles. Just to give us, you know, just to be able to move all of the machines out, you know, another 6 inches of room around them, you know? On each lot. It was walking around hitting machine to machine and trying to do your workout. But yeah, you know, fortunately, I put a couple of these together before. Yeah. I know for my negative experiences what to do and what not to do. So it's all good. It's another problem. And the gym area is a pretty good size area. And you know, I don't know, I think we've talked about it in the past that you mentioned, you know, you own a gym out here, back when you lived out here, you had a gym out here. There was a ring in there, there was a lot of MMA training and stuff. Are you still going to be doing that? Are you doing the bag? Are you doing the MMA training? You've brought too many toes. Well, I'll do the bag. I'll do the bags with the bags are going to be outside on the rear. Rear dedicated, you know, right above the wash bay. Yeah. It's going to be like an outdoor Muay Thai setup. Feed bags and I'll have them, which I would type kicking bag out there, the loans of there'll be a couple of other things, but there has to be room for a grill too. There has to be a room for a grill too. Exactly. So in between my kicking and my punching drills, you know, I can eat. Yeah. Don't break any more toes. Yeah. I can't promise to that one. And now what's going on with the car projects? Oh my God. Well, you know, right now we're concentrating on the M 7 one 5..

Remembering The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster On Its 10-Year Anniversary
"Years ago today, a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated northeastern Japan. Nearly 20,000 people were killed, entire towns were destroyed. Disaster triggered multiple explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, sending radioactive material into the air. It was the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. The power plant was built near a town called Okemah. MPR's Cat Lawn Store went back last year. Well to show that there are only old people here, which, I guess includes me, so that's why young family would want to live here. Any school hospital or grocery store is miles away. That's resident Kazuko Endo, who launched or from that gardening outside one of oh comas, newly built homes. Over the past few years, O Koma has slowly started to open back up after sitting empty for years less than 200. People Now live in the town that used to be home to over 11,001 person and moved back to O Koma. Masato sake. He's nearly 100. The construction company he owned, helped build several of the nuclear reactors at Daiichi Cuckoo on in this town needed nuclear. We co existed with it, and I profited from it. But now look at the town will never be the same real. You quit the name the old downtown. Oh, coma is still abandoned, and Japan's government is still figuring out how to completely clean up Fukushima's damaged reactors. Alistair Gail covers Japan for the Wall Street Journal. He's gone back to the region over and over in the decades since the disaster. Gail's latest trip found a mix of massive engineering and empty streets. So I went with a colleague to the city off because then Toccata, which was one of the worst hit cities by the tsunami in 2011, it's on the northeast coast of Japan. On But you just really felt like there weren't many people around. And part of that was because of covert. But really, it's because you know, in the main part that a lot of people have just left that city.

Ken Jennings pays tribute to Alex Trebek on "Jeopardy!"
"Today a little bit of a sad moment. Steve. What? Do you know what aired today? No. It into the first episode of Jeopardy with Ken Jennings, guest hosting for the late Bring Alistair back. Really? Yes. So I was watching the video during the boy is total said Oh, my gosh. He does a brief, You know little thing when setting up the show paying homage to Alex Trebek like saying how we get We can't replace him and he starts choking up during It was just so depressing to watch because they have been airing the last few that Alex Trebek had hosted when they taped him. And then this was the first one for their first guest host, Ken Jennings. I like how they say, first guest host as if they're not going to give him the job afterwards. Anyways, I told you, John, Stow it. If he doesn't get it, Jersey's own Jon Stewart. He should get it. I could see Johnston, Jon Stewart. Would be a great host for Joe. I think you might be. Hey. Might be might be a little too funny for no. You could work with him. Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see

New Years Eve Festivities
"Happy new year listeners. We made it as finally less than twenty four hours left in the year. Twenty twenty if you're just joining us. Welcome i'm alistair myrddin. And this is superstitions a spotify original from podcast in this podcast we use short stories to explore the ways in which human beings interact with luck and fate in each episode. We peel back the layers of mystery surrounding peculiar rituals totems and practices. Today's episode is a very special one. C. you may not believe in santa claus leprechauns or the easter bunny. But new year's eve is the one holiday where everyone becomes a little superstitious because the future is uncertain and new year's eve is when we take a moment out of our lives to face that uncertainty head on according to cultures around the world. What you do on new year's eve will determine the trajectory of the next three hundred and sixty five days for good and ill. So maybe don't relax on this. Last day of twenty twenty after ruled a whole new year is at stake coming up. We'll see some practices from people around the globe and hope none of them drop the bowl. Time never stops it. Never waits never stand still for anyone throughout human history. We've given it to name a face a persona. Even cronos carla banged goon.

Shona Hammer, he said, quote Alex Love this show and everything it stood for. He will forever be an inspiration for his constant desire to learn here is a little bit more from the tribute last night. I'm Mike Richards, the executive producer of Jeopardy. Over the weekend, We lost our beloved host Alex Trebek. This is an enormous loss for our staff and crew for his family. For his millions of fans. He loved this show. And everything it stood for. In fact, he taped his final episodes less than two weeks ago, he will forever be an inspiration for his constant desire to learn. His kindness. And for his love of his family. We will air His final 35 episodes as they were shot. That's what he wanted. On behalf of everyone here at jeopardy. Thank you for everything, Alex. This. Is jeopardy. No man that's pretty emotional. It's emotional response right there and like he said, it's not the last last night was that the last episode they've got, like 35 more in the can. I believe around Christmas time will be the very of the official last jeopardy episode. Well, you know, we had a poll up yesterday. Who's the greatest game show host of all time? Whose are we about the inn that pole? Or was it a 20 fire pole or what? It was a 24 hour pole. It's done now by a vote of 53% to 47%. It was close. Alex Trebek beat Bob Barker.

Undruggable Drugs
"So I thought maybe we could start about just talking about what the category of undrivable really means to the industry. What is traditionally mean? This is a favourite subject but also for me a sore subject. The term undrivable refers to as yet the inability to drug a protein or protein family or a piece of origny. It said an unfulfilled promise. Imagine Drug hunting with small molecules. Where I've worked and trained as sculpting drug molecule that fits into the pocket of a protein. What if there's no pocket? That protein may be regarded in our discipline as a Priori undrivable. So is it always shifting kind of category or was there a particular group that always was understood to be that kind of undrivable? It's very much both you know. Mars is unworkable right until we arrive there serious. Human Diseases of the non infectious nature are often caused when pathways go awry and these cellular pathways are driven by little machines called proteins. That are globular and They have in where biology occurs. Enzymes that metabolize food and such when these pathways go awry. We tried to identify a critical note in that. Pathway typically a protein and work to understand functionally. If it's too active in which case we tried to inhibit it or not active enough in case we tried to activate it in the discipline of drug discovery. This biological knowledge is very powerful but sometimes we regrettably find out that it's a type of protein or protein. Fold that has never been drug before and this creates real challenges. So this is the undrivable when we have no idea how to get that protein there these are the undrivable proteins and and there are whole families of very tantalizing protein targets creating a conceptual risk that often keeps many scientists away from pursuing coordinated efforts in drug discovery. In my time as a professor I studied the way genes were turned on and off and cancer as a cancer doctor. I was interested in the proteins that would cause the growth program to be activated to turn one cancer cell into two and so on and so on these proteins called transcription factors that bind. Dna turn genes on our consideration be beyond the reaches of drug discovery undrivable. Class which is regrettable because the perception that they may be hard to drug has kept many scientists away from even trying so people. Don't they literally? Don't touch it because it seems like such a challenge. There are a couple of important exceptions. The estrogen receptor binds estrogen. It is therefore drug -able by the sex hormone estrogen rest revile. But the most commonly activated gene all of cancer called Mick the protein that sits around the human genome orchestrating. The Growth Symphony has never been successfully drug even though it is one of the best. Validated targets in Over the last thirty years in cancer science. It's so interesting because I sort of assumed that it had to do with a lack of of biological knowledge. But it's not using the not. The biology is very well understood. But we just haven't understood how to approach it so what is changing now. What are where are we in the landscape of these undrivable? Categories of drugs. I mean one way to think about that. Is that in a sense? When we mean undrivable. It's undrinkable by the way we normally do things. And only when you start to develop these new methods you realize even in the old targets. There's other things you might WanNa hit in other ways to hit it. That's right one of the things that really interests in years. You know we think about targets. We add adjectives to the targets. We HAVEN'T DRUG TARGETS. In the fullness of time there may be no such thing as an undrivable target when you take in sort of the full momentum of different modalities that we might go after a specific target. Can we take the other side of that coin for second? Is there such thing as a novel target a novel target in the language of drug discovery is maybe the first recognition that a protein is really involved in a disease process and the biological experiments have validated that protein or gene in that process novel targets may be fully drug -able like the proteins that sit on the surface of a cell that because of successful prior campaigns to drug kindnesses are now as a group considered easily drug -able but sometimes novel targets are in these undrivable protein families and this gives us pause? I believe that some of the best validated targets in disease biology would have clarified path to helping patients. If only we could get out of our own way and really commit to approaching these proteins as drug -able to challenge the dogma till echo of the the old concept that's right I'd love to hear what some of those successes that really sort of forged a whole new path forward for people were and then also break down the tech behind. What made those possible. I think a very fine example where drug discovery has taken down and undrivable protein. Target is our work to develop the first hitter of what's called foss face in this case a protein called ship to okay. Foss faces are some of the most interesting proteins in disease biology there. Fossil taste is very important for diabetes. And a couple extremely important for cancer you might know what a kind aces. This is a protein that drops what are called phosphate groups onto proteins and there are a great many important kindness. Inhibitor Drugs That followed once. Novartis developed the first if not one of the first called Glee Vic for chronic myeloid leukemia as there are interesting kindnesses that drop phosphates onto proteins. There are counteracting faces that pull them off Interesting and it's for no particular reason that kind aces are so commonly drugged and Fossa tastes are not Except that for twenty years people tried to make phosphates inhibitor drugs and they just couldn't do it. It's one of the most famous protein families in the UNDRIVABLE CLASS. And there's something really peculiar about it. Phosphates drug discovery campaigns almost always produce a very potent and sometimes very selective inhibitor of a pure enzyme studied. Say outside of a cell. Okay but these molecules don't work when the enzyme is inside of the cell the pocket. That's drugged in the phosphate. Tastes is very positively charged. You know how opposites attract the molecules that are discovered are very negatively charged. And they can't get into cells. Scientists Bang their heads against the wall for decades trying to make phosphates drugs for cancer and diabetes and other disease states and were unsuccessful. Well some very creative. Scientists at Novartis did really interesting experiment. They imagined that may be a way to inhibit. The FOSSA taste isn't to go for the most active site But to try to inhibit the enzyme through what we call an alistair excite to sort of sucker punch the phosphates at a different part of the protein and so we perform to high throughput screens. One with the full length phosphates that has two or three globular domains like three beads on a string and second full high throughput screening campaign where we just looked at the active enzyme. Pocket it self. We found two thousand hits in this essay and we through all of them out except to we only kept the molecules that would work in the full length protein but wouldn't work in the small format protein Basically that you'd find the the molecules that would hit the pocket that's only presence when the whole protein is there exactly drug discovery is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Performed thousands sometimes millions of experiments with chemicals to try to find the one chemical. That does what we want. We threw out all the molecules that would hibbitt inhibit the active site and kept only molecules. That worked when these other sites were present called Alistair excites. After many years of very careful science we produce the very first inhibitor of a phosphate tastes and the way this molecule works is it glues the ship to protein together we call it an intra within the same molecule and Intra Molecular Glue. What a cool

Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel
A Romantic Revival
"For the purposes of maintaining their confidentiality names and some identifiable characteristics have been removed but their your voices and their stories are real a couple four a romantic revival. I became an instant parent when I got married. Four to two loss. Birth months to suicide My first wife took her life on Saint Patrick's Day a twenty one year later we met and And we've been picking up the pieces. This next couple has confronted death in their midst for the past six years disadvant- has been at the center of their family life over the now six years that I've been in their lives not survival mode. It has been the most hurt wrecking profound experience of weather my entire life. I they are now ready to live again. As a New Year's resolution the couple apple chose a word for themselves an espionage revive and I have a sense that Dick. She came to work with me so that together. They can transition from not dead to alive and from survival to revival this is where should we begin with Alistair Brown. She's not like anyone I've ever met. Which is why I knew I needed to get a ring pretty quick? I thought if I don't someone else's can sweep her off her feet when you say she's not like anyone you've ever meant well the depth the types the things that she that stir her her heart and her soul. It's refreshing. That's what drew me. Tour was her ability to go there to take you to take me there. It's caused some friction along the way because it's tough to learn when you haven't grown you to it doesn't come natural to you to me right. And so there's there's been times where she has talked about wanting to connect deeper or go deeper and I'm thinking we already are. This is suspect more connected than I've ever been before And so in that sense there's some difficulties. What other important part of your lives? Do I need to know who I guess. One of the reasons. We've come is the the long arduous journey after a suicide and the impact that that's had on me and on the kids he's been gone a lot through the years with the military just knowing that I've missed a lot of things and Hamilton family histories is an interesting one Mom and dad divorced when I was two years old and they both got remarried and had kids and so I kind of bounced between the two. The two families and my stepmother was not particularly wonderful. Stepmother have Was Not a very nurturing person. And the understatement. Yes she she was. She wasn't a good person. You know She was very manipulative. She was verbally abusive and a couple times physically and then after they divorced. My Dad a had custody of me instead of my mom. So come The simple terms that I was told that I went with my dad was because she he wasn't ready to settle down and he was. There's a lot that's probably buried in that statement and and I haven't really wanted to know the why theme of children that are abandoned by their mother. uh-huh runs through generations fair Nice we have saying she wasn't ready to settle. Now you were and children you think were abandoned by their mother. Oh sure when she then by suicide absolutely. How do you think your experience with your mom translates leads into what goes on between you and your kids? vis-a-vis them I don't know that there was was a deep attachment with my mom. I might have got that up until the age of two but I don't remember that and then the stories I've heard with my step mom as as a three year old when she came into my life. My Aunt said she remembers seeing me. Try to crawl up and my stepmother's lap and you know pushing me away and so I had that being pushed away from her and then my mom just wasn't there for the first I know from age two to six probably so there's a gap there That I don't really remember much time with her. And we have two kinds of memory. We have explicit memory and implicit memory and explicit memories kind of conscious awareness of Thaksin but implicit awareness and implicit memory. Lives in our body and the body remembers the value remembers particularly when you try to get close to your wife. You connect those dots. You probably have. It's so clear. Same say more. I think that's the root of a lot is what happened with his mom and step mum the root of a lot of what disconnection between us for a while. I thought it was what happened. Happened with his former wife. But then the more I learned was kind of a like. Oh this isn't it just continued eared through her. He couldn't trust his own mother but the mother figure in his his stepmother so he built up a wall law. And I'm not going to trust or or be confident in pursuit of me Secure knowing that it's not gonNA be a rejection. I think sometimes I I struggle with coming in to the level of connection that she's she's desiring not out of fear but simply out of not down on what you're talking about. It's almost like speaking a different language. Have a a good example. If I'm upset to me the natural sponges come in and hug me like comfort me or and it's he just stands Alexa me stairs. Feels like where I want connection. There's no movement you freeze. I do freezing reason those situations but It's not a fear it's not feeling that's what freezing okay. ohka tracking the brain's response to trauma. We are often familiar with fight and flight. But we also have freeze and sometimes it seems to me that a freeze points to an even more overwhelming set of experiences winces that way just simply too much to absorb and left the person frozen helpless and in a state of terror

Labor party lambasted the weekends Johnson accusing him of riding roughshod over the constitution in order to crash Britain out of the EU without a deal widely considered to be Johnson's preferred outcome changing the government would not be simple a no confidence vote would would spark a fourteen day period in which Johnson could try to overturn the result.

Financial Issues
Alistair Bathgate Alistair, Founder And US discussed on Financial Issues
"Now, let's turn to our next guest and joining us in the studio. We've got blue presumes C E O and founder Alistair Bathgate Alistair, welcome. So we've heard this morning that blue prison is buying Tony for a consideration of up to eighty million pounds of British tech firm. You released your half year earnings this morning as well reporting, a thirty four million pound loss in EBay, da, that said sales, and revenue climbs. Now analysts were expecting as much with Marion global investors saying that blue prism. You're an automation software maker could remain a high growth business for many years. So growth is one thing profitability is another Alistair. When do you expect to become profitable? Well at the moment, we see a vast global market, and we're expanding in a whole range of territories and that requires investment in mocks in an insane. I'm not comes in revenues. So this is a great British global expansion story as you say revenues up by eighty two percent possibly US, revenues doubled. We secure at three hundred forty nine new customers, and which means customer base has gone up by a third in just six months. So this is a rapid growth story. And for the moment, we feel that investing in growth is thing to do, but you have been around for quite some time, and I suppose, that's why the questions although bound for feasibility. I mean I'd love to know what you think is going to help potentially drive the turnaround in profits. Ability, I noticed expanding in new countries. And so how do you. You, how'd you basically turn turn that story around him and you've been around for more than a decade now where we know we have a fundamentally a profitable business model. We were profitable in the year before we I appeared on one of the reasons that we went public with today's funds to grow and to invest ahead of that growth, as you can imagine when you went to a new temporary. Let's say the Middle East where we have recently you have to make investments in marketing and people in sales. People also we have to make investments in product as well ahead of that growth coming back. So that's the story of why and how we invest in right now. Yeah, the acquisition of full Ptolemy announced this morning and tell us the rationale behind that is that because you're concerned that you're not going to be able to achieve that profitability through Ganic growth known of has been a partner since twenty fifteen. The product that Bill is based on technology is built on the platform. So it's a very logical acquisition for us, what they've created as a off an intelligent, automation platform based prison, plus other technologies combined. They've turned into a software as a service cloud, offering based on Microsoft has a not is particularly suited to the mid tier. And so this is a new product for us. Okay. So that's the autonomy acquisition. The is also an issue around. Around short interest in prison. When you look at the amount that you have route edgy mentioned that, that you are.

This thing is a huge rise, but short interest in prison has actually climbed above five percent in the past month, what he make that I think, when you were highly wretched stock as you say, the people will bet on some volatility on, you know, you just have to live with that went on building a short term, shot price hair. We're trying to build a business for the long term. Those show interest, though, did reach a record last month.

But some point we can get uptight off on investment, and very quickly, when the company will become a customer from profitable also, very interesting, of course, because your UK gray story, not just a u k one not actually a London based company, but base in the north of England in Warrington tapping into a university of Manchester university. So with that in mind, you're not basis, Silicon Valley, although your tech firm, how'd you see Brexit at this stage? What does that mean in terms of bringing on new people? So proud of you obviously coming from the north west of England monkey union university as where the computer was invented. And so. Yeah. I bullish sorry.
