Tim Mahoney on New Film "Patterns of Evidence: Journey to Mount Sinai"
"Have an old friend back, but we've got an exciting subject to talk about. The friend is Tim Mahoney. You know him from the patterns of evidence, movies. There is a new one called patterns of evidence journey to Mount Sinai part two. It is a fathom event, may 15th, and I think may 17th, Tim Mahoney welcome. Hey, Eric, thank you for having me on the show. What is the, okay, so what is the thesis that we think we have figured out? Because I know this is a hugely controversial thing over the millennia practically. Where is Mount Sinai? So this film purports to have discovered the actual location, the actual Mount Sinai. This film started for me in 2002 when I thought we had a location, which was in Saudi Arabia. And I actually, in 2003, went there and was able to bring a camera and I started filming it. And it was amazing to see all these artifacts that were there. But what happened to me when I left the country, interestingly, on May 15th, 20 years ago, almost when I left the country, they kept my footage. And I didn't have a film. And for the last 20 years, I've been trying to make this film. And I was challenged that some people said, you know, you're not being really fair. There are other mountains that we think might be a better candidate. Why don't you slow down and look at them? And that's why this is a had been a two film investigation. I've looked at 6 different locations, starting in the Sinai Peninsula. And this next film, journey to Mount Sinai, part two is coming to theaters may 15th, as we said in 17th. This is going to be the crescendo of it all.

"Arab government representatives in Cairo have voted to return Syria to the Arab League after a 12 year suspension. Syria's membership in the Arab League was suspended 12 years ago early on in the uprising turned conflict, which has killed nearly half a million people since March 2011 and displaced half of the country's pre war population of 23 million.

"I probably watched it three or four times just because of the first time it was just like the visuals of it. I watched Power Rangers. I watched tremors a bunch. Yeah. I still do. I was a big movie nerd for sure. But for me, I have to give it a ten, just for like the feelings that it's like, it's definitely one of my top movies of all time. I think the AFI agrees as well. And I think that's just kind of added. To it. To be like, hey, I did watch one of the highly rated films of all time. And I was like, there's nothing that adds to it, for sure. Side note going back to our duck suit podcast. Noah, my son and I, we watched Looney Tunes this morning. He was curious about Bugs Bunny and porky pig. So we watched a Bugs Bunny short where it was one where Elmer FUD a waiter in a restaurant and everybody in the restaurant was a Hollywood star. So huffy Bogart was there from Casablanca. Peter Lorre was there. And then the Marx brothers were all people in the restaurant. Like bugs money hides and disguises himself as a groucho with the mustache and the cigar and everything. So I feel like no it would be like a FogHorn leghorn kind of man. He would be. That'd be right up his alley. Yeah. He definitely was a big fan of bugs. It reminds me of a Tasmanian devil sometimes. Noah? Yeah. Oh, for sure. He was doing spins in my driveway. Yesterday. I mean, him being a three year old, that's definitely taz. They're all that way at that stage. They're just wild animals. I miss tiny tunes. Was that Looney Tunes, but small? Yep. They're tiny. They're tiny, they're tuning. They're a little bit of Looney. And animaniacs. Classic. That's how I learned all the states.

"And now I watch it the second time, and I think I would go with the 8 5 on this. It was like, it might have lost a little bit just because I was like, fuck, this is long. And it's not. I think this movie might lose its place in future movies just because of that length. When people might go, man, it's a great film, but who's going to rewatch this film? Even I struggled for the second time. You're telling me you're going to get some young young little punk kid and film school to spend four hours of his life. There was an intermission. I would have stopped. Why did I stop? I knew. That's what we did. Well, and I didn't know there was an intermission. So the first time I got it, I was like, what the fuck is this? And I was like, what? I remember at the time I was like asking, I don't know who I talk to, but I was like, Sheila's intermission is like, oh yeah, it's like, it was in my uncle's like, this is part of the greatest movie. It's just like, yeah, isn't that crazy? 1962, they just divided it. I'm like, I guess they just didn't give a shit, did they? Yeah, could we cut it a little more in the middle though? Only an hour and a half at the end. It was like intermission. Oh jeez. And then you come back, oh, it's only an hour and a half. It's like nothing. That's like half a pack of Pringles. All right, that's a second Pringles. But yeah, 8 and a half on it. Again, his acting was absolutely phenomenal. And again, you have to appreciate the film for what it is. Like just the cinematography, the actual directing, I think you were mentioning how they were shooting some films at night, and then they were also shooting during the day, but then using a lens, but there's not uncommon, but it's so crazy to think back on it and be like, that was 1962.

Pray the Word with David Platt
He Is Worthy of New Song
"Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical .NET. Psalm chapter 33 verse three sing to him a new song, play skillfully on the strings. It allowed shouts. I love this verse and particularly that first phrase sing to him a new song. This is a phrase we see multiple times in the psalms and all the way to the end of the Bible in the book of revelation when it says they sang a new song saying, and I want you to think with me about why we would sing a new song. I mean, for thousands and thousands of years, there have been songs sung to God, so why do we need new songs? Why would there be a command even here? To sing a new song. Well, think about it. You might sing a new song when you discover or experience something new about God about the one you're singing about or singing too. When you think about God, he is infinite in his glory, which means 10 trillion years from now, we'll still be discovering more glory in God, which means we'll still be singing new songs about things we've seen and things we've experienced in God. So there's that sense in which we are continually seeing experiencing more in God that leads to new songs, and then you think about as the gospel spreads from generation to generation and music changes in different ways. Then God's people in successive generations sing new songs. We're seeing songs today that are different from what God's people were singing a thousand years ago, or a hundred years ago, and we also sing some of those songs, so we sing old songs and new songs, and then think about this as we pray for the spread of the gospel among all the nations. There are thousands of people groups writing in a languages where songs are not being sung and prays to God because they've not been reached by the gospel, but when they're reached by the gospel and people come to Christ and they gather together as the church, then they compose what new songs. I think about one of my favorite songs that I have recorded on my phone. It's from very remote tribe in Asia that had been totally unreached by the gospel until some missionaries at great cost to their lives took the gospel there and people believed it specifically a young girl who then shared the gospel with her mom and dad and her mom and dad believed the gospel and soon thereafter were stoned by the religious tribal leaders in that village because they had put their faith and Jesus in what they called a foreign God and this young girl teenage girl sat down and wrote the first song of worship in her language to God praising him for his love and his faithfulness even amidst hardship and death specifically the death of her parents in this world. She sang a new song. I've got that song recorded on my phone when I listened to it. I can't help but to pray. Well, to lead us in prayer right now, even just thinking about it, God, you are worthy of new songs in every generation and every nation as we discover and experience and see more and more and more of you and all of your glory. And as your glory spreads in the world. So we say yes, we want to sing new songs forever. We want to sing new songs today and go rewatch new songs to be selling around the world to your glory. Gotta replay today for the shahari people of Saudi Arabia. No known followers of Jesus among them. Speakers of the shahari that live in Saudi and Oman and Yemen, God we pray for songs of worship to be sung in the shahari language, please God bringing about for your glory caused songs and shouts to arise in shahari, giving you praise Jesus. We pray to help us to live for this, to live, to see your song spread all over the world, even as we sing new songs in our lives and our churches and we lift up loud shouts of praise to you. You are worthy of new songs and loud shouts of praise in our lives and our churches and among all the nations. We pray this in a light of your word and solve 33 verse three in Jesus name amen.

The world's Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan, and the Supreme court weighs the case of a postal worker who refused to work on Sundays
"On this week's AP religion roundup, the world's Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan and the Supreme Court weighs the case of a mail carrier who refused to work on Sundays. In Jerusalem, Muslims pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque as the month devoted to worship, repentance, and daytime fasting ends. Islam's holidays follow a lunar calendar, but some countries rely on astronomical calculations rather than physical sightings. This frequently leads to a disagreement between religious authorities and different countries, and sometimes in the same country over the start date of the eat holiday. This year, Saudi Arabia and many other Arab countries began their eat celebrations on Friday. While Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia, among others, set the first day of the holiday for Saturday. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of a mail carrier who refused to deliver Amazon packages on Sundays. They shouldn't have to choose between their job and their faith. In an AP interview, Gerald Groff says he was forced to decide between working on Sunday and keeping his job. I actually told my postal supervisors, I feel like your boxing into a corner and you're asking me to choose to do what you say, the postal supervisor, or to do what God says. And I said, I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but I have to choose God and my conviction is that strong. Come what may. And so if it means I lose my job, that's very sad, but it's not a choice for me. It's what I believe. I was still officials initially tried to get substitutes, but they couldn't always accommodate him. He ultimately quit his job at the postal service and sued for discrimination. To give that up to deliver Amazon packages would be to give up everything that we believe in. It's a day we set aside to honor God to worship God to come together as believers, not only in church, but after church in fellowship around the table and spending time together and it's really the whole day it's not just the morning and then go to work or something like that. The justices seemed in broad agreement that businesses like the postal service can't cite minor costs or hardships to reject requests to accommodate religious practices. I'm Walter ratliff

Tucker Carlson's Analysis of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"But he had quite the positive and almost fawning lead in to his interview with RFK junior. Robert F. Kennedy junior announced today that he's running for president in the primary against Joe Biden. Here's part of what he said. We were told initially that the objective was humanitarian. Many of the steps that we've taken on the Ukraine have seemed to indicate that our interest is in prolonging the war. Rather than shortening it. So if those are objectives to have regime change and exhaust the Russians, that is completely antithetical to a humanitarian mission. That's supposed to be the face of extremism, but that's not extreme. It's rational and calm and well deliberated. Bobby Kennedy himself is not extreme. He is deeply insightful. And above all, he is honest, no matter what you think of the substance of what he says. Here, for example, is his recent analysis of the Biden administration's foreign policy. Big picture. Quote, the collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the kingdoms do alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American empire by deftly projecting instead economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China has spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the neocon short lived American century. Now you may agree with that analysis, maybe you don't. Either way, if you're an honest person, you understand this is exactly the moment in our history when we need serious adult conversations about the world around us, a world that is changing to our detriment and how we ought to respond to those changes. And off right off the bat, Kennedy already has a 14% level of support among Biden voters. 14 percent.

Nigel Gardiner Weighs in on Biden's Removal of Churchill Bust
"Joining me right now for more on Biden's overseas trip and importantly on this old coronation event and how this thing is going down because the scuttle is Meghan Markle's not going to go. I'm sure the royals are gravely disappointed over that one. Anyway, joining me right now, Niall Gardner. So Obama took down the Churchill bust. I remember that. That was like a big international incident. And then that's something that Trump put back, and then this is getting kind of repetitive. It's like revolving door, with Churchill there. And then Biden comes into office he takes it down again. What kind of effect does that have on the British people and the British government? Well, I think it sends a very insulting message to the British people after all Churchill is a greatly loved figure in the UK is also very much loved in the United States as well. So it sounds completely the wrong signal, a very negative message. And that was day one of the Biden presidency. So an incredibly bad move by Biden sneering arrogant and hugely dismissive, of course, towards America's closest friend and ally. Understandable. So we're now in a situation where Joe Biden has made it clear. He doesn't really value the UK, his historic ally, over say France, or Germany, it kind of reminds me of what's going on with Saudi Arabia. Is that a fair comparison in any way? I think that Biden's treatment of Israel has been also very dismissive actually. And Israel and the UK are incredibly important allies for the United States and Biden has treated both with real contempt just as Obama did before him. And I would say that Biden is alienating America's closest friends and allies on the international stage. It's an extremely destructive path forward.

Do you agree with that assessment and how would you take stock of where we are now as a country? Yeah, so first of all, dinesh, I just want to say thank you to for everything that you do for the country, your voice is amazing. And the for those that haven't seen it yet, I'm sure most of your audience has seen 2000 mules. That was an extraordinary piece of honesty about our election systems in this country.

If you don't mind and then I'll come back to the domestic picture that domestic landscape and we can talk any level of detail that you want. But globally, there is a new alliance forming globally. we are, and that alliance is between principally between China and Russia, but there are new members of that alliance that were at least century old allies and partners of the United States of America. And one of those, one of those allies is France, another ally would be the Saudi Arabia. Other partners that existed in around the world are other nations that are now starting to particularly in case of Brazil. Are now starting to really align themselves with this new I would just call it a communist socialist shift in the world.

Our Current Leaders Have NO IDEA What They're Doing
"Obvious that there is a diplomatic disaster unfolding against America all over the world. This is happening in real time. A lot of it traces back to the Ukrainian war and the radical measures we've taken. Our leaders have no idea what they are doing. We basically cut Russia off from the global financial system, and we have decided to engage in a series of events that could be the end of the U.S. dollar as we know it. We're going to really dive into some of Donald Trump's interview Tucker Carlson because there's one thing he said that I think was so brilliant that was one of the best pieces of television I've seen of him in years. In years. But Donald Trump in cut 77 talks about if we lost or if we lose the world reserve currency status, it's like losing a World War and he's right. This is the largest geopolitical issue. We will be impoverished overnight and our leaders seem to be welcoming it. They seem to want the U.S. dollar to be destroyed. Why is why do we not have every Republican in Washington D.C. saying we are not going to fund another measure? We're not going to do anything until we hold this regime accountable in any way shape or form. They're trying to destroy the United States dollar. Play cut 77. Iran gets together with Saudi Arabia through China. And China has taken over. And China, you know, I heard a couple of people say, well, the dollar will never lose the dollar standard. Are they kidding? China wants to change the standard, the currency standard, and if that happens, that's like losing a World War. We'll be a second tier country. We'll literally be a second tier country if that happens. We're losing. If we lose our currency, that's a currency is what makes us powerful and strong. We have a Chinese asset posing as an American president, Joe Biden. And I know many of you are probably wondering, why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They want the downfall of America.

"I think <Speech_Male> this is a bit of a <Speech_Male> simplistic <Speech_Male> view of this. <Speech_Male> China will always <Speech_Male> intervene in the Middle <Speech_Male> East in a <Speech_Male> very limited <Speech_Male> way. They are not <Speech_Male> going to <Speech_Male> intervene military. <Speech_Male> They're not going to <Speech_Male> involve even sending <Speech_Male> weapons <Speech_Male> to the Middle East. But <Speech_Male> they want <Speech_Male> to use more and more <Speech_Male> soft power. And <Speech_Male> this put them in a <Speech_Male> position that <Speech_Male> they can be there. <Speech_Male> Peacemakers <Speech_Male> in the region. <Speech_Male> So from <Speech_Male> especially after Xi Jinping <Speech_Male> won the <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> unprecedented <Speech_Male> term <Speech_Male> as China's <Speech_Male> leader, I think <Speech_Male> he would like to play <Speech_Male> this role <Speech_Male> internationally. <Speech_Male> But on this sense, <Speech_Male> what they've done <Speech_Male> between the Iran <Speech_Male> and the south <Speech_Male> is a great achievement, <Speech_Male> but first <Speech_Male> of all for most, is <Speech_Male> because both <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> were very much <Speech_Male> interested in <Speech_Male> this as is the basis <Speech_Male> of finding good negotiation. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> Volley, there's <Speech_Male> another, I guess, <Speech_Male> somewhat concerning <Speech_Male> aspects <Speech_Male> to a lot of the actual <Speech_Male> people of the Middle <Speech_Male> East and indeed to the <Speech_Male> rest of the world if <Speech_Male> China becomes <Speech_Male> the interlocutor <Speech_Male> of choice <Speech_Male> because you can see that <Speech_Male> one of the things about <Speech_Male> dealing with Beijing <Speech_Male> that might appeal to <Speech_Male> both Riyadh and Tehran <Speech_Male> is that <Speech_Male> they know that they're <Speech_Male> not going to get yelled <Speech_Male> at about <Speech_Male> human rights by <Speech_Male> China. Is <Speech_Male> there a concern <Speech_Male> that the nature of <Speech_Male> this deal, the way <Speech_Male> in which it was <Speech_Male> done shores <Speech_Male> up, dictatorships <Speech_Male> like <Speech_Male> the ones in Saudi <Speech_Male> Arabia and Tehran? <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> I <Speech_Male> don't think that's the dimension <Speech_Male> right now, <Speech_Male> because as yours said, <Speech_Male> you know, China is <Speech_Male> not the most <Speech_Male> important player. Iran <Speech_Male> doesn't have many <Speech_Male> relations <Speech_Male> with Europe and the United <Speech_Male> States. But Saudi Arabia <Speech_Male> definitely <Silence> does. <Speech_Male> And <SpeakerChange> once Xi <Speech_Male> Jinping got <Speech_Male> involved, <Speech_Male> then the right <Speech_Male> wing. <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> That's the supreme leader <Speech_Male> revolution regard <Speech_Male> that people who are <Speech_Male> most likely to violate <Speech_Male> the deal <Speech_Male> basically <Speech_Male> had to throw the line. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> They're <Speech_Male> not given that <Speech_Male> much Iran depends <Speech_Male> on China these <Speech_Male> days. The only <Speech_Male> way that you're going to keep <Speech_Male> Iran's feet to the <Speech_Male> fire on a deal <Silence> <Speech_Male> is through <Speech_Male> China being <Speech_Male> not Europeans, not <Speech_Male> anybody that Iraq could <Speech_Male> easily feel <Speech_Male> comfortable violating <Speech_Male> the deal with. <Speech_Male> But with the <Speech_Male> Chinese. And <Speech_Male> the Saudis <Speech_Male> essentially wanted <Speech_Male> the Chinese to <Speech_Male> play this role. <Speech_Male> And why would the Chinese <Speech_Male> agree to the Saudis <Speech_Male> is because <Speech_Male> if they want <Speech_Male> more energy <Speech_Male> deals from <Speech_Male> Saudi Arabia if <Speech_Male> they want <Speech_Male> Saudi Arabia to <Speech_Male> resist decoupling <Speech_Male> from China <Speech_Male> with Washington if <Speech_Male> they want Huawei <Speech_Male> and Saudi Arabia, <Silence> they <Speech_Male> have to basically <Speech_Male> do this favor for <Speech_Male> the Saudi. <Speech_Male> So in a way, <Speech_Male> unlike other times <Speech_Male> when the Chinese <Speech_Male> insert themselves <Speech_Male> in, <Speech_Male> here actually, the <Speech_Male> countries in the region <Speech_Male> are understood that <Speech_Male> China can play <Speech_Male> this role, <Speech_Male> I do not believe <Speech_Male> it was Xi Jinping, <Speech_Male> that was pushing the two <Speech_Male> sides to do this. I <Speech_Male> think Muhammad bin salmon <Speech_Male> essentially <Speech_Male> asked <Speech_Male> him that <Speech_Male> if he wants to build <Speech_Male> these relations with the <Speech_Male> gulf, he needs to <Speech_Male> solve <Speech_Male> a big <Speech_Male> security problem with the <Speech_Male> goal, which is <Speech_Male> Iranians <Speech_Male> have said they're willing to <Speech_Male> do these things. <Silence> <Speech_Male> Now your job is <Speech_Male> to make sure that <Speech_Male> they actually do it. <Silence> <SpeakerChange> Following <Speech_Male> our <Speech_Male> thank you <Speech_Male> very much for joining <Speech_Male> us on the foreign desk. <Speech_Music_Male> That's it for this <Speech_Male> episode of the foreign desk, <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> we'll be back next <Speech_Male> week and look out for the <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> foreign desk explainer <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> available every Wednesday. <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> The foreign <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> desk was produced by <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> Emma sale and Christie <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> o'grady, Christie <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> also produces the <Speech_Male> foreign desk explainer. <Speech_Male>

"It's diversity by default there because it's a diverse and intermixed community. There is. A Saudi Arabia have racial diversity really from the standpoint of how we look at it. I don't think they even consider that it's just diverse. I don't think they, of course, someone's going to someone's going to be on the show and call me out on this, but it looks to be pretty integrated. Okay. And someone that's, again, I ask, is there prejudice? There's certain communities that are looked down upon. Oh no, we're one big happy family. No, someone's probably going to tell me different, but and again, I can get a perspective from an event people registered to come to the event. I wasn't in the suburbs and sitting down and having bread with somebody. That I am sure there would be lots of other discussions. But laying the I wasn't there to figure out the politics. Right. Is there to figure out what was happening with the crater space? But it was very, very, very exciting. And I kind of had a little bit of a wow moment. You did. Yeah, I did. What was that? The overall experience? Yeah. It was the wow of, yeah, we talk about expansion, we're really isolated here. Yeah. You have to have boots on the ground to understand what's really going on. That's only way you're really going to understand what's going on in the space. We hear about it. Well, that's what's been great about what James has done with that pod news newsletter. But even then it doesn't open up at least some level of visibility into things going on outside of the U.S. because he does so much traveling to these markets. So it's been really helpful. I mean, I've been keeping my own the global stuff. I mean, some of the episodes that I did in my old podcast speed, which is still live. I was talking about the globalization of podcasting back in 2013. I was talking about this stuff. And I could see it happening and I figured it was just a matter of time. But cultural changes needed to happen, just like what we've seen now with Saudi Arabia, the ten years ago, we never would have thought. It was even possible. No. And actually, some people said that the next market that could potentially open up would be things change with all the chaos going on in Iraq. If there's regime regime change there in the public are allowed to say what they want to say, that could be another explosive market. Iraq, Jordan, all those countries, you know, have populations that could express themselves just like in Saudi Arabia. Iran instead of Iraq. But some of these just like, yeah, and where's turkey? I don't hear about it. Too much. Yeah, someone was saying something, but I didn't hear too much. And then there's Russia and then there's China, but those are those are separate conversations. Right. Yeah, I don't think you can talk now in Russia without getting constructed and sent to the front line. So I think you're well, my son lives there. Direct feedback from me. Oh, I'm sure. And I wish he would leave. And what's actually going on there is not what we're being told. Oh, of course. There's a big difference from what I'm hearing from him. So anyway, we just spent an hour on this Riyadh thing, but so I'm sure I saw some Facebook posts and I understand I went there with I'm a no bullshit kind of guy. So I just kind of wanted to know. You would do the underground investigation before you would take a risk like that. Well, you know, I watched a hundred YouTube videos before I went. And then I used some of the stuff I saw on YouTube as an example to ask people. I said, is this really happening? And people said, yes. And while it's still the minority, it was, yes, and you're not getting arrested and thrown in jail for it. So. But it's still the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. So that is one thing people will have to deal with and the politics aside. I hope the creators create and create stories that create change and the younger generations hungry to I'm excited for them. I'm really excited. I'm excited to hear the stories that come out that I'll be able to listen to in English. I'm all in. I'll be, I'll be hitting that content up hard. Because I want to hear this, you know, because I'm sure some of it's going to be on the edge. And I said internally to my team. And I think this is maybe what all podcast hosts are going to have to think about is the government wants companies and I don't know what this means politically, but the Saudi government has said they want companies that are going to do business in Saudi to establish presence there by 2024 and those that don't before that date are after that date are not going to get as much cooperation with the government. They've set a deadline for international companies to start doing business. Okay, so if I establish a business in KSA, then. What if I have a podcaster that wants to read private am I going to be able to allow that podcaster to be private? Those are questions yet to be answered. So I guess they're going to be content that's produced that will give you that insight Todd that's going to be produced in English. I hope so. I just, you know, I'm a big freedom of speech person. I'm big about privacy. So I want this to thrive. So. Again, I appreciate the trip out and the having, again, just full disclosure. I was the trip was fully paid for. By the event organizer, which was a government ministry. So full disclosure on that. But again, I saw none of their presence whatsoever. Only the agency that organized that. So yeah, it's a government did pay the bill to come out. So I was not constrained or instructed or it was given any type of guidelines on anything I could or could not say. So I just want to say that up front too. Yeah, that's good. I mean, did you get a sense of any kind of monitoring of your activities or anything? No. Okay. No. Well, I'm sure the Internet is monitored there. So they have a firewall. You're not someone asked me. Can you get to a porn site? And I'm like, I did not try to go to a porn site. Was it you or someone that posted that Verizon didn't provide Verizon socks? Verizon sucked. It was mobile was great. T mobile, they have a partner with Verizon does too.

"Was also making that make that point when I was talking to people too, but I don't know. I don't know if the video piece is, I only heard a few people were talking about live. Again, we're. Magic of the sound, you know, our, you know, I think a lot of people are making a big deal about video now. And I just don't think it's as big as people perceive it to be. I mean, I mean, what, maybe 25% of the market when the medium started. With like we do with this show, there's a video podcast feed that has a downloadable episode in it. So we have to be clear what we're talking about here, but even though those will say, you know, we shouldn't parse this conversation based on technology. When it comes to referring to a podcast, right? The listener is in control. It can be whatever it is and we'll call it a podcast. Well, that's not my point. My point is there's different types of podcast distribution. And just uploading directly to YouTube is one type of distribution for a video podcast. But it's not the only. So Anita says in chat, this is Anita soy. And she's over in Indonesia. She says, does it happen because Spotify was there first or some brought it there first? No. Spotify is boots on the ground. In Saudi Arabia. Yeah. Well, they are in Dubai, but they have boots on the ground in the Middle East. And so does. And so does angami. Well, yeah. Will there be? Yeah. They're based in their basements. And of course, podio, based in Beirut. Or Lebanon. So maybe it's in Lebanon someplace. So there's a bunch of kind of audio audio enhancement companies that are in transcription companies out of television as well. So there's a bunch of audio tech kind of companies going on. I mean, there's quite a bit of activity in that part of the world already. That's been going on for a long time. I know I talked to folks regularly from Tel Aviv that are working on high-tech project. It's almost like it's a startup. Area of the world. There's a lot of smart people there that are building technology products. Yeah. And I'm not surprised that this whole thing is happening. I guess I'm surprised that the Saudi Arabia is opening up like this. It doesn't have a history of behaving like this. Rob, it was 110% completely off my radar. I would have not known. Right. Why is it happening is also my next well, the why is because, well, KSA has had to. He has had to make changes because of the younger demographic? Because of the younger demographic. Absolutely. Unequivocally. 2222 sats from Mike Dell, more ducks for the collection. Thank you, Mike. The audio didn't come through. I don't know why. Yeah. It was an interesting I want to go back. Did they talk about next year event? Well, we'll see because the next, this is a four tier system, the next event they're going to have on video. So it's going to be focused on YouTube and TikTok and so that's going to happen sometimes January or February. They're going to be looking for people to come over and talk about that realm. So it's a four tier deal and it's a multiyear and the budget, my lord. I don't think I thought it was like a couple $1 billion or something. Yeah. It's huge. It's a huge budget that the ministry of communications or whoever it was to put this on has dedicated. Because they have a goal of like, they're now number 14 in the world on tourism, believe it or not, they moved up 5 places. And they want to be number one in the world on tourism. That's going to be tough. Especially with no alcohol. Because Todd, don't they? This time of year, believe it or not, the days highs were 90, and then nighttimes from the 70s, it was beautiful in the evenings. It was savvy and it was lovely. No, obviously no humidity. So this is the time of year to visit when it's a little cooler because it's definitely not a 135 in the shade. On which I've experienced before, in its 24/7, not just during the daytime, same thing in the nighttime. But one thing's for sure. I was staying up so late trying to keep my body on a somewhat not wax schedule. I looked at my hotel room at 4 o'clock in the morning and the streets were packed. Full. I mean, traffic jams are 4 o'clock in the morning. People out cruising. They got a big cruise, their gas is up 50%. They're very pissed off about that. It's up to $2 and 30 cents a gallon. It's 50% in the last year. Population is absolutely crying about it because it's double their commute cost and stuff like that. Very much a car city. It is, they're putting in mass transit, but I said, the way these people love their cars here, good luck getting them out of their vehicles and getting them into the they have a basically one of those raised overhead transit systems. Beautiful. Got it. The amount of construction, the amount of money being spent is insane. You just can see it. So, and everyone said it's transformed and really the last 5 years. There was no skyscrapers there before. Now there's starting to see very tall buildings. So do you see the podcasting industry putting efforts into competing in that market? It's a new market. Matter of fact, the folks from patio says you guys can catch up with this. We're going on to the next market this developing. That got a laugh. If this one's already launched and going, where's the next one? Somewhere? Right. That's the question. Who knows? Maybe. South Africa, mid Africa. I mean, so this area kind of covers the North Africa. But I think there's I think there's lots of opportunity there. Because we both know of events that are being planned in what was it in Bali. I think there's one in Bali. Well, yeah, that's what's on you. Yeah. And then, in fact, that's where the pod being I think her name's Norma. She's from she's in Bali. That's where she's working out of there. So. Here's one thing too.

"And end up being a really tame boring race. And yeah, Daniel Ricciardo I spoke to him post race and he said that he had spoken to his mates back home in Australia and they were like, oh, should I stay up for this? Because obviously it's very late in the day in terms of their time zones. And he said to the knee was like, hey, I'm not sure, 'cause it'll either be like really great or really, really boring. So I think there was always that thought that there would be some kind of drama, but yeah, when the start happened, it was all very quiet. And I thought, okay, we might be might be all right here. Everything may go pretty smoothly with no major issues, no major drama. Then it was Mick Schumacher's crash on lap ten at turn 22 that obviously sparked everything off really and did bring out eventually that first red flag. And that really sort of set the wheels in motion for what would follow. But yeah, there was a point when I did think, oh, this might actually be quite a chill race and truth be told after the formula two crash and yet the place that he's fine, he feels it feels okay. Still waiting to see if he'll race in Abu Dhabi. Ends off its pauli, he was known to be conscious when he left the car there's no official update on his condition. At the moment, I think we all just wanted a very straightforward race really with very safe race. That was the big thing. And we'll get onto the safety aspects and the track itself much later on. I know. But yeah, the start itself, I did kind of think oh this might actually be quite a chill one and chill it was not. Well, not chill, but I think a factor in the yeah it all becoming undone. Was obviously the red flag, but before that was the cooling of the safety car after the Schumacher crash because you put the Mercedes pair into pit. Obviously, they lose track position for staff and stays out, which is on paper, the right thing for both teams to do. But then, of course, for staff and gets his free tire change as well as others do, so there was plenty of winners and even that. But those obviously the main focus and then therefore you've got snapping ahead of an aged Mercedes team. It's the rules of the roles and I do believe it's Hamilton benefited from that in imola. Early this year, when he was struggling and managed to get free check the tires and a big chunk of time gained. So swings around about some of that. But yeah, that's it, the wheels of motion for carnage. The safety car to red flag scenario was questioned by Lewis at the time. He very angrily wanted to understand why Massey had decided Michael Massey that is had decided to call a red flag kind of, I guess, maybe was his grievance to do with the length of time between safety car period and red flag decision, given that we had incidents there before and it seemed to be a slam dunk red flag if anybody came off in turn 22. But obviously, yes, his concern was very much to do with the fact that their Max Verstappen gets a free pit stop essentially. What do you guys make? 'cause Lando Norris was quite vocal about this as well after the race in that he believes this to be a silly rule that when a red flag is waved, you get a free choice of tires for the restart. What do you make of that? Is that something that we should be looking at? Or as Hayden said, the rules be the rules and it kind of is just a fact in the playbook of F one. Yeah, it's a strange one, isn't it? Because it is in the rule book and it does allow for things such as this to happen. And hey, you mentioned Hamilton's recovery under the red flag imola, for example. I mean, that saved his race. Otherwise he would have been a lap down. It's happened many times over the years where air drives do just luck in basically to that. And when Lewis Hamilton asks Mercedes about it over the radio, it James fowls and Bono came back and they explained that that was always sort of a risk that would be run when there is a safety car in the driver's dates out that if it does turn to a red flag, they've essentially had a free pit stop. So yeah, I know I understand why Lando, for example, will feel agreed about it, but also it goes both ways, doesn't it? It's just part of the strategic sort of elements involved. But I think from a pure standpoint, though, it is a little bit weird, isn't it that a driver ultimately benefits from not doing something or not pitting and just staying out. So yeah, I think that I think the length of time it took to go from a safety car to a red flag as well. I think that was, yeah, it maybe took a little bit longer than expected or maybe it should have. But yeah, I think that from a purist point of view, maybe that's a rule that does need to be looked at because it does seem to be the kind of thing where drivers aren't really rewarded for anything much more than just getting a bit lucky. As always with these things, it's always a multiple of factors involved, as you say, the delay between initially a safety car to red flag to allowing the people to pit stop before the red flag showed. But the scenario I guess there is the key point of when that changes and you allow those drivers that opportunity. If it's called much earlier, nobody necessarily gains no losers on that and it's just down to the call they made at the time, which I think is probably a theme of the race as well that is going to come under a lot of scrutiny in terms of certain calls that were made at certain times by race direction and the FIA stewards in terms of who is at fault and who necessarily wasn't it. Yes, official, I think there's a lot of finger pointing still being still going on and I'm sure we'll go on right into next weekend. I don't feel like we're going to hear the end of this for a number of reasons. But so obviously we've had the first red flag, which is triggered the first race restart. Which didn't last very long. That restart seemed to be a little bit more chaotic than the first. We had the incident where leclerc and Perez came together at the exit of turn two and that also had the knock on effect of mazepin. Quite scarily rear ending. George Russell, to which again, he has been very vocal about safety concerns off the back of that clash. Luke, you spoke to Russell in the pen. What did he have to say about that? Yeah, he was very open about it, and he right the way through the weekend has been talking about the blind corners, the safety concerns that he had about the track and he said that this really did highlight the issue that it was so narrow at that point that you couldn't really go anywhere. Yeah, he had to slow down and maze have been had nowhere to go. So when ramming really hard into the rear of his car and it was a really scary incident and the first thing I said about them was.

"You'll notice I'm not Ariana. In just a few hours she'll be flying off to Abu Dhabi with the rest of the F one paddock. So instead, I'm temporarily taking the reins, and I'm joined by Luke Smith, F one reporter for auto sport and Hayden Cobb editor of autosport dot com. But before we all try and make sense of exactly how that Grand Prix played out, for those listeners who tune into the podcast for the results, and we know there are a few of you. Here's the short version. In a bizarre race that required two restarts and four virtual safety cars, Lewis Hamilton beat Max Verstappen to victory to set up a final round showdown as they head to Abu Dhabi level on points. That's the first time that's happened since 1974 with McLaren's Emerson Fittipaldi, battling Ferraris clay regazzoni for the championship. Bottas took third from ocon in a dash to the line on the final lap, finishing just a few meters ahead. Behind them, Ricardo managed to climb up to 5th, followed by gasly, leclerc, saints, jovina, and a disappointed Lando Norris rise up the points in tenth. Max Verstappen picked up a 5 second time penalty for passing off the track, and after the race was issued a ten second time penalty for sudden breaking and causing a collision for the break check incident with Lewis Hamilton. But that penalty didn't end up affecting the results as Bottas was 16 seconds behind max. There were two red flags, two standing restarts, three different pole sitters, four virtual safety cars, and at least two clashes between the title rivals in a race which is easily the most frantic of the year. And with that said, and I'm pretty surprised that we managed to get such a succinct summary considering the action, I wanted to kick off the podcast as we usually do guys by asking you for your ratings for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. I'm really interested to know what you guys are going to say. I think there's such a mixed feeling towards this race for various reasons, but Luke, why don't we start off with you? What was your rating for the race? Yeah, very mixed feelings, actually, because we've had this amazing fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Don't get me wrong, it was incredible to see the instance and everything that happened. And there was so much drama throughout the race, but in terms of actual strategy or intrigue or on track action, it wasn't actually like overtaking or anything like that and a raw fight between the two title rivals. Yeah, maybe it maybe didn't hit some of the heights that we've seen earlier in the season. So there's a bit of a funny one. I thought it was a bit of a messy race with all of the VSC's and debris and everything like that going on. And yeah, it was kind of we kept having these continual battles where we had Lewis will get close to max, max would then be aggressive, Louis would have to back out, we keep repeating that basically. So yeah, I would probably give it a 7 or an 8, I would say. I probably I think, yeah, it's not the kind of race. It's a race on me don't remember and we will remember this so so much. It's so exciting for the championship. But in terms of an out and out race, I think if you take away that lead battle throughout the rest of the field, actually it was quite tame in places. So yeah, I would go with the name. It was a very memorable race and a good race and many places, but it wasn't a ten out of ten or anything like that. For me, can I have two ratings, please? I'll explain why. First one is the entertainment side of it in terms of what makes an entertaining race and I think you've got to go ten out of ten for that because like you say there is so much going on. I'm so impressed the way you summed it up in about three minutes because just trying to cover it in the written form, it's like pages upon pages of everything. So it just had a little bit everything that you almost forget little instances to happen here or there, which for the spectator taking out the sporting purist take on it. It just was incredible and difficult to kick up with. But as Luke said, I think yeah, from perhaps more to what was pure sporting racing situation, take a few marks down from there. I'd agree on the 7, because yes, the back of the front was great, but maybe we didn't see a great deal else going on, but that probably because of the Java suit carnage that was actually unfolding everywhere you looked. Yeah, it was definitely, I think a controversial, I don't even want to because obviously it's been questioned as to whether we are even going to call it a race. And I guess in the fallout in the quotes that have come out post race, max and Red Bull have very much vocalized the fact that they don't believe this is Formula One, that this was an example of penalties and politics, getting in the way of quote unquote racing. Which I'm sure we're going to get on to when we get around to the penalties. But I thought I have to agree with you guys in terms of, I mean, my heart rate, I don't think dipped below one 60 BPM for that entire length of time of the race. Maybe see your doctor about that. I mean, genuinely, I felt like I'd been treat this trait this is therapy. This is a safe space for you. It's time to talk over the troubles that we've just witnessed and go from there. I mean, it's been great. I feel like I don't have to go for a run, because I basically did, however, long we had of some hard cardio based on the fact that it just never seemed to want to calm down. It just had every time you thought it couldn't twist anymore. It twisted again. And the momentum just seemed to swing between Lewis and max throughout. But in order for us to really process and analyze and give the listeners a bit of a viewpoint on exactly what happened out in Saudi Arabia today, I thought we would try and attack this by going through it in chronological order. Just the major points otherwise we will probably be doing a 5 hour podcast, but why don't we begin? Because I guess to your point Luke, the race started off quite simply, given the start for formula two, we'd seen that it can get quite chaotic and there was also throughout the weekend the worries about the safety of the track and formula two with the crash that we saw in formula two as well. Not necessarily to do with the circuit itself, but obviously was quite a harsh start of race procedures today. What did you make of the start of the Grand Prix? And what did you believe was going to be playing out? Did you think it was going to be that boring the whole way through? Or did you know that chaos was most likely coming? It was a quite a serene start and it tallies with a lot of Italy's with what a lot of drivers said that it would be one of two races that would either be chaos and crazy and lots going on or it would be very tame and not a lot happens. And I think back to Baku when it had its first race, the F two race was absolutely crazy. All of the F one guy saw it and thought, okay, if I take it easy and just get to the finish, that will probably be enough..

"Service was offering the sports offering that be in sports was offering was complete in the Premier League. And beans windowed this. They realized that the kind of they did some digging themselves as well as the Premier League. And they discovered that the signal that was being used to add these games originated not from a Colombian and Cuban consulting which is what the Saudis were claiming, but from Saudi Arabia, from a company called Arabs, which is majority owned by who, the Saudi government. And then what happened after that, the qataris, they then took this case to the World Trade Organization for not to kind of get to the bottom of why this is happening. And he took Saudi Arabia to the WTO arbitration process. And the WTO then ruled in favor of Saudi Arabia. So not so it's not Saudi Arabia or Qatar. And accused Saudi Arabia of essentially not charging and prosecuting the people behind Q and this was a big deal for the Premier League. This was why Newcastle, that stalled that takeover. There's a massive deal for its massive deal for the Premier League because beings contract. For example, is worth roughly 500 million pounds. And that's a lot of money for the Premier League. And when the kind of Newcastle deal became public, one of the first people to condemn it and also lobby the Premier League and the UK government against this deal was being sports. But then what also happened was in early 2000 2021, we saw Saudi Arabia and its blockade on Qatar. And as a result of that, what we also saw only last week was being sports was then allowed to air its games and its programming inside Saudi Arabia. Right. So there we go. I mean, we should point out as well in this tit for tat between or more than tit for tat between Qatar and Saudi Arabia point out that the Saudi Arabia's previously blocked the website of your title, the Middle East and I, because of what they say, your papers links to Qatar. Yeah. Jim will just got any thoughts on all of this? BN B out, Newcastle. I think with all of it, it's so hard to follow if you're not entwined in the regional politics. And it's very, very difficult. I spend so long on this and even I struggle with it. But basically, you end up with a story where the thing blocking a takeover of a Premier League club appears to be more about who's paying for the television rights than about the human rights in the country that's connected to the purchases. So, you know, we have a fit and proper persons test. But I think with all of this, it comes back to. There is no better place in the world to come to than the UK if you want to buy an institution to improve your reputation. And whether it's football club or a media outlet, that's what we come back to..

"Which involves western media companies entertainment companies, and they appear to have turned the page. I'm from chatham House. Good point to bring you in. Are you surprised there isn't more pushback over what happened with Cassidy? I think that there was this two year lull where MBS and the kingdom receded. They tried to take a back seat, not be so public. And work on domestic issues. So that's what we have been witnessing over this two year period. And with the sale of Newcastle, I think this is a sort of signal that people are willing to turn the page. And as Vivian described with so many companies, still looking for markets, western companies have not been very successful or able to push back on human rights issues. Which in the kingdom, of course, go beyond the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi. And also, you know, worthwhile, elevating and mentioning that activists and women and journalists are detained also in the kingdom. But the market is a hugely appealing. There's a very young population that is looking to benefit from the social liberalization that was granted by Mohammed bin Salman. And so there is a domestic dynamic here to the sports wash shape or media washing that is taking place. And the soft power projection is very much tied to domestic drivers of reform in the kingdom. And of course, it has broader regional and international implications as well. Larry, let me bring you in because Salam mentioned the football that is has been the big story this past week. The Saudi led consortium, buying into Newcastle for United football club. Everybody from the Middle East and I because in all the excitable coverage about these new owners in football, there's actually been much less about something we've obviously noticed on the media show, because with the media show, which is, you know, in the end, this is really a media story in a sense. Tell us what are being and how that will plays into this. So Sabine sports is the katari back sports broadcaster that's got the commercial rights to air Premier League games and sporting events from around the world. For the Middle East and also a lot of the global south, for example, Indonesia is a big market for being sports. And what happened was, in 2017, when there was an air sea and land blockade imposed on Qatar, which owns being sports. We're also and this was imposed by Saudi Arabia. We're also in sports was then banned inside Saudi Arabia. Within a few weeks later, what you'd also see emerging is a new website could be our Q and this was being promoted by senior royal advisers on Twitter like Turkey and Sheik who's in charge of the whole kind of entertainment revamping in saddle, and also saddle katani, who has been his accused of helping orchestrate the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, mentioned earlier. And this.

"This charity where do you get all your money from the saudi royal family and then they're dispersing it as they see fit where you're getting money off from the ambassador's wife who how are you in the united states student visa even though i don't go to class it's like a very like there's like a buffer there's always a buffer like plausible deniability but this is more and more becoming like as more documents release in these. This latest round of releases. Was the sixteen page document released. Just you know right before the twentieth anniversary by joe biden against heavily redacted. But they're letting things start to trickle out the. Yeah maybe saudi arabia was on some level behind it. Maybe the kingdom no but people in his family certainly did. And that's been speculated since the beginning obviously like majority of them were from there. Yeah but but it was always denied because now it's like being released from the heart you're in it's taking taking these families a long time to get here like i said. They initially tried to the they were going to sue the saudi royal government and take them to court where they would be subject to discovery. And there're some law on the books as hey like we. Actually there's some. I can't remember the name law but you're just basically not allowed to sue governments k. So then there are well fuck that so. They went through this long process decade of trying to get the laci so they had to lobby to go to congress and called their cars. Raise money to all these things. They finally get the law changed. They bring it to obama's desk. Obama vetoes saying. Hey we don't want to go down this path. Saudi arabia saudi arabia's out there saying like we have seven hundred fifty billion dollars in holdings in the united states in different investments and holdings and that. We're going to pull all that out so we don't have that sees which would be a significant Impact on our economy in these different businesses..

"So if like hey like saudi arabia's working with these terrorists funneling money to it's because they're solely interwoven with this more hardcore stream view and has really ramped up since nineteen seventy nine. So they go there linked going all the way back to the original House of saw the king of sod. Okay he he was from this part of saudi arabia where this other guy whose name wa lasting was a hob and he was from a from a prominent religious family and the house of sod was more like business and political and they. You know there's all these kind of warring tribes back then. I think we might have talked about this on another dock and those two guys foreign basically an alliance and it was like all right. The king of of sowed your family. You're going to be in charge of all military operations and all the political entities at the hobby family. They're going to be in charge of all the all the all the religion section so they have like the ministry of religion. That's run by these hobbies and they have created this network of kind of this growing extremism and they were loosely linked and then they kind of fell apart okay or had a bigger divide as the years went on. We're talking like one hundred or so years. Two hundred years hobby ism is still like the principal religion but they're not working closely with The the king of saudi arabia at the time two things happen in hundred seventy nine that makes saudi arabia flip on its policy towards the more hardcore religious factors of their country and other government. So nineteen seventy nine iranian revolution guy. Where you had this secular The the shah around who's a ruler of iran. They get thrown over by these student radicals. Who are like very extremist. Muslims and they become a theocracy where like the religious elements of iran are very much in charge and then also took over and took power in the the the biggest mosque in mecca. So it's like holy shit these guys. These radicals who were kind of just pushing over here. Okay like yeah. You guys do your thing do your thing. Whatever well now we just saw them. Topple iran that type of person not the same group at the same religious fervor people toppled iran and now. They have our mocks so they could really do that to us too. So why don't we bring them back in closer. And that's what saudi arabia start to do in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. Because like the king kingdom the royal family was scared shitless. Okay so that is how this started. And then it is estimated that the the saudi royal government or saudi royal family rather has spent upward and again. This is the number one oil rich country in the world has spent an estimated one hundred billion dollars exporting lobbyism throughout the world over the last forty years since that happened there i hate will will bring in closer and then they've built fifteen hundred mosques around the world so now that now that they're working more closely with autism it becomes a thing where like you can't really advance in your career and the saudi government if you're not a hobby so either have to actually be one or say you're one But that is how you end up having more power in the saudi royal family so why would saudi arabia want to support these groups walls..

"I was excited. You say it again. American and then i had the most surreal conversation i ever had with the person he looks at me and he says i want to thank you for everything i want to invite you and your friends to come to my palace so that i may entertain you look. Are you freaking kidding me. I am not getting invited to a palace by prince. Oh my god up until this point my only experience with royalty was a burger king drive through all of a sudden one of those. Suv's pulls up and a guy jumps out in a suit. And i guess. His favorite word was pleased. Because that's all he said. Please please please please please please. Are you kidding me. There's a man in a suit trying to give me in the back of a lincoln navigator and there's a prince invited was palace. I'm not gonna lie. I felt like a hot chick. God let her. We get to the front of his palace. You guys. i'm not gonna let it didn't look like a palace. The walls are really high. There's bob wire around the entire property. And there's two guys in the front with machine-guns. I'm looking at this and i'm like this doesn't look and i started thinking what up on some messed up. Episode of middle eastern punt bala as you put the prison and your fortune elite. The doors opened up and we drive in and then they closed and when we got outside you guys. What we saw was amazing outside. Desert inside palm trees. Bushes shrubs a pond and he had exotic pets. I know exotic pets over there. He's a frequent. Bala constrictor are you kidding me.

When i left detroit to go over there. I had to fill out a form that says i understand that i'm going to saudi arabia and should something happen to me.

Never mind what are three. So we're walking and he's showing me this and that and we're just kind of like looking around. I thought it was great. And then i saw something that freaked me out. We're walking in the direction of a giant cage. And when i saw the cage i stopped. What's the cage. Look great fly. Walk over towards the cage and look inside and i notice that there's birds in there okay. Cool it's a birdcage. And he got all birds. Those are falcons okay. Well you have a lot of falcons or use a falcons for hunting. You hunt falcons. No no no no. Each falcon is very expensive. One hundred thousand. us dollars. They are trained. We go out and shoot a little animal and we send a falcon three. Would you like to see on a little dogs. Before i know it here comes the other guy leaf and he goes inside the cage and he puts on this leather glove comes up to his elbow and he starts getting one of the falcons. I'm watching them. Do this and i noticed. All the falcons are on these purchase about this high. And there's about fifteen in a row and they all have hoods covering their eyes. And i asked them why do they have hoods of their is met. They look like little hostages shit. I'm sorry i meant no disrespect by that man seriously i. It was a slip and he was cool. I ended up middle east test. The so the other guy comes out. And he's got to go with him and he's got a glove and he hands me the glove and put it on any transfers his falcon arm and all of a sudden. He starts doing snapping things. And he's basically showing me. That the falcons trained and i thought that was great though. We're going to kill something. No but we're just playing with the falcon. And i started getting excited and the more excited i got the more. The prince started showing his age because then he got excited. Like this is great these great. This is so cool.
