President Trump's Popularity on the Rise Across Polls
"Trump's lead over Biden over desantis over everybody widens, you know why? Because people are like, well, they were going after him again for the wrong reasons. Everybody's got classified documents. Biden, you know. Trump Pence is Obama going to be next. What about Hillary? What kind of classified documents does Hillary Clinton have? Well, we know what she does with stuff that she shouldn't have. She gets out the hammers and the bleach bit and she knows how to destroy it. I guess Mike Pence wasn't really good at bleach bit. Even Trump said, Pence hasn't done anything wrong in his life. Leave the guy alone. This weekend, president Trump is going to be in South Carolina right him off at your own peril. Because guess what? Guess what? He's coming back. There's just no way. Have you seen these polls? Emerson and Harvard and USA Today, he beats everybody. Now, in the middle of where we are with Trump supposedly in the wilderness, he shouldn't be beating the county commissioner in picking South Carolina. He should be just underwater. Why do you suppose Trump wins in all of these polls? The media won't touch this with a ten foot pole. They don't want to go anywhere near Trump's popularity with the American people.

Be Problem Solvers, Not Problem Causers
"I'm trying to understand that sentiment because when I listen to, you know, I used to listen to people. It's a guy named James T Harris. He has a show with conservative circus. I listened to James C Harris and I used to be upset with James T Harris because he used to always go after Barack Obama. But then when I started to consider that what he was actually saying and I began to grow mentally from my whole mentality of I have to be a Democrat, I had to be a Democrat, I started to really see that, well, maybe, you know, the stuff he's saying is making sense. Now, some of it may be hard some of it, I may not like, but is it the truth or is it not the truth? And for me, you know, what's happening is you're hearing from conservatives are response to liberals. They're out here in the ether and all they do is complain about victimhood. All the black and brown person is oppressed. The people who are in political positions on the liberal side, they're always complaining, they're always bashing white people, they're always crying about racism, racism, racism. They say they need to defund the police, police are out here attacking black people. And then you hear somebody on the other side, which is in the conservative on the conservative side as a black man, you get sick of that stuff.

Emerson Collins on 'Bring Your Bible to School Day'
"Could you please explain to the people the significance of this particular event annual event of encouraging young people are people in general to bring their bibles to school. Yeah, Brandon, thanks so much for having me. Yeah, the reason why it's so important that you bring your Bible to school is because the Bible is so important. God's word is so important. It doesn't take very long to look around and see the darkness in our world and in our culture and the same that is so prevalent around us. And how do we fight that thing? Well, the Bible is our story. The Bible is our weapon. And we are like warriors. And we should not be warriors in a battle zone in a war zone without our weapons to fight the enemy. So God's word is our weapon against the forces of darkness. And not only that, it is also a source of life itself. And you bring the work of God with you into your school places into your areas of education for that that light can shine God's truth can shine in those areas where we desperately need it.

Who Are We to Judge?
"Can I just keep it real with y'all for a second? Am I gonna really judge Herschel down the domestic violence thing is a little different, but Herschel Walker having four kids by four different women. Am I really gonna come out against him when I got two kids about two different women? I'm just being honest. And everybody that's honest, that's willing to keep it 100. Some of y'all know that if the roads, if you had, you know, your luck had run out a couple times, you would have more kids than you have now. You just so happened to do something you weren't supposed to be doing. And you just got lucky. Now I'm not saying it's luck, a specifically, or a bad luck that you have more than one kid or multiple kids because at the end of the day, if you don't want to be, you don't want to have kids, you should be bumping and grinding and pumping and sweating. But all of us know that we're one step away from making really bad mistakes. I think some people will know that have been in situations where you are in a tumultuous relationship with a woman who was absolutely out of her mind that you know that you were one step away from being involved in a domestic violence dispute. You probably wanted to, but you got enough common sense to know that you're not going to put your hands on somebody, but that's been the rest of your life. It's been a long period of time in jail and running your reputation and your kids look at you crazy now and now you're a DV person.

Can Herschel Walker Recover After Recent Accusations?
"Yesterday I spoke about this to an extent beyond imaginable about Herschel Walker and the whole dilemma with him and his son and his run for the Senate seat in the state of Georgia. You know, Brandon, why do you feel like that this is important? Because I'm a father. In this country, according to the way we look at people and race, I'm a black man. And then also when you look at the political position that Hershey walkers in, he's a conservative. So as a father, as a black conservative, this is very interesting and I believe I have some insight. I'm a finish it, though, or say, I'm just going to give a short brief synopsis of it. And then we're going to move to something else. I ain't talking about this all day. But I know a lot of people are wondering, and a lot of people have said this to me even yesterday. Will Herschel Walker be able to fare after what was said of the day? Will he be able to finish strong in the race? And there's a compelling argument that a lot of people may be thinking this is a takedown knockdown drag out against Herschel Walker, but if you look at history, people have done much worse and still fare better.

Democrats Get Nervous As Polls Trend Upwards for Republicans
"Democrats are getting increasingly nervous. Remember politics is not just about what happens at one moment in time. It is a trajectory. It is a pattern of events that leads to a culminating or a culmination, a culminating event in early November. Right now there is a trendline that is very disturbing for the Democrat party. It seemed they got very, very hot over the summer and now the new polls that are coming out, which I know a lot of people say Charlie, I don't trust the polls. Well, these are polling. This is polling from liberal firms that are showing some Republicans starting to get separation speed. And we're seeing it on the ground in real time. Emerson has Ron Johnson up four points in the great state of Wisconsin. We were just there for our turning point action event in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In Georgia, which is a flip Herschel Walker up two points on Raphael Warnock. In Texas, Greg Abbott up 11 points on Robert Francis o'rourke. The latest poll out of Arizona shows Carrie Lake up four points on Katie hopps. And the trend continues. And the pattern of polling that we are seeing is Democrats. Are going down dramatically. Now, we are seeing this and we should celebrate this in the moment, but wait a second. This is not the election. This is not the entire ball game. The question is, with the trend improving with the gap tightening, Democrats are now going to become very, very desperate. If, for example, it is true that Herschel Walker wins in Georgia. If it is true, that Ron Johnson will win in Wisconsin. If it is true, that Adam laxalt wins in Nevada. Even with that, even with Blake masters and Oz not making it across the finish line, which I think they will, it's a Republican Senate.

Who Is the Frontrunner in the Missouri Senate Race?
"I want to move to Nancy Pelosi's one 6th committee, but only after I get your assessment of the Missouri Senate race. I have been worried for months that Democrats were going to nominate along with the help of some rather innocent Republicans Eric Brighton. Now he is collapsing according to both Trafalgar and this morning Emerson looks like Eric Schmidt is going to be the nominee and what would have been a likely loss for the Republicans becomes a surefire win if Eric Schmidt is the nominee. How confident should I feel about Schmidt? Who I've endorsed being the nominee. I think you should feel pretty confident because I think there's a factor that kicks in when an election gets closer and that is the reality of a candidate actually winning gets closer and I think with grid and that is actually hurting him. And Republicans are really kind of terrified about repeating the mistakes in the Senate of 2010 O'Donnell Todd Aiken and Sharon angle mistakes. Which cost the Republicans the Senate. They had to wait till 2014 max when the Senate. So I think it's 50 50 now. They just have to get to 51. And I think they're pretty aware of that.

"I lied to you. It was an accident, but I lied to you. I told you I was gonna let you take over, not quite yet. I got my times mixed up, you know, apparently telling time is really difficult for me, even though I'm a grown adult. We're gonna bring some expertise into this conversation. We'll get back to your calls in just a minute, Paul fine bomb show, Jason Fitz, filling in for Paul and as we continue to discuss everything across the landscape of college football, we'll bring in an expert from the athletic Seth Emerson joining us Seth. I appreciate your time and I made the, I'm not gonna force you to get into the middle of the chaos I've created. But I started today's show by saying if we believe that players should be captain what they earn, why don't we look at capping coaches if we're really concerned about competitive balance. I only preface my question because part of what you're talking about now on the athletic is Kirby smart and a long-term contract extension. What kind of number is Kirby smart the national champion going to get as a head coach at Georgia? You know, that's a good question. He was the president Jerry moorhead was asked yesterday to a number that's been thrown around is like ten years, a 100 million. And that's only been speculated based on what you've seen from other coaches like what Ryan day got and Mel Tucker, two coaches who have not now won a national championship. Mel Tucker, not even really getting close. And more head didn't like blanche at that figure. So I don't know whether it'll be around that. I do have a feeling it's going to be very long term. And it will be flexible, maybe there'll be language in there that says that he will always need to be like something like top three top four and the SEC. Something like that, but that's just, again, speculation. I think the top line headline figure will be the sexy headline for everybody. But it's kind of the details of Georgia maintaining a commitment facility wise and kind of going forward with NIL and collectives and all that being kind of the next phase of the arms race in college football. Well, and with that being said, I mean, when you're talking about escalating coaches, salaries, you're talking about the continual building of facilities and you're talking about the collective, how do programs manage raising money in all three different categories? Right. And that's something that is, I think that's kind of the new frontier. That was something else that they were asked about yesterday. Jack Brooks did a compact with Gary Moore had the president after a board meeting and he was asked and they are starting a capital campaign in Georgia. They're launching a 5 year campaign where they're trying to raise $500 million. And they've never done that before. For more than football for a lot of things. And it's not just facilities. They've got a mental health program. Title 9 tie in all those kind of things. But something that a lot of programs are going to face and my colleague Andy Staples touched on this on a story that focused on Texas a and M a few weeks ago is for years donors have been asked to donate to the program to the athletic department. And the inducement. So often this will help us in recruiting, building this building will help us in recruiting. Well, now they could conceivably directly don't eat to recruiting. The university could no longer be the middleman. And that probably scares some schools. On the other hand, the unknown here is how much the uncertainty is going to push and how much how it's going to have to kind of crack down on the idea that NIH is being used as an inducement for recruiting. But that's another part of everything that's going on right now is where this will lead donors in terms of spending their money. I mean, and then I think about lane kiffin in Sports Illustrated earlier in the week saying that he doesn't think facilities matter anymore. It's just NIL. Do you get a sense of other programs feel that way as well? You know, I don't think so. I think everybody has been so hyper focused on facilities for so long that you're not just going to snap your fingers and all of a sudden not care about that. It also depends on where you are. I know that Kirby smart when got here at Georgia and when I'm where you are is like where you are in terms of your facilities and everything. When Kirby smart got to Georgie, we're behind. They had just built an indoor facility over the last one and the SEC to get one. And they got that. It was already worked when Kirby got here, but then they also got a renovation at the Sanford stadium where they got this big nice recruiting area and some other stuff new locker rooms. They've had an expansion to their football athletics department facility where they've got kind of bells and whistles that I think people kind of put out there on Twitter. But Georgia now is caught up. Kirby smart's focus for so long has been we can't stop building things because Alabama is not going to stop building things. That was used not going to stop. Well, now everybody is probably almost frozen. Saying, okay, is it going to be? Is a new frontier of spending going to be NIL collectives or can we continue to build and can we continue to get our donors to foot the bill for the next facility and everything? And Georgia may be one of those schools as well positioned because they've done a lot of building. And so if they wanted to focus more towards other things, they could. But again, it's a question of when you can. Is this what is legal in this age of NIL and everything? And everyone's still trying to sort that out. I mean, if we get federal legislation tomorrow, which we're not going to. But if we get federal legislation between now and this time next year that gives some blanket rules, then things may even add a little bit. But right now, I think everyone's trying to get their bearings and figure out exactly what the rules are. The concept of begging the government to figure out a way to fix college football and IL is also difficult in my mind to wrap my head around. The other thing that the SEC is trying to figure out is what to do with their own schedule and there's been a real debate between different schools on what's important. Do you have any sense on what Georgia wants out of the schedule conversation? Yeah, I tried to pin them down yesterday and they weren't going to rock the boat. They weren't going to I asked them is all in Florida. Those two series important to you because the sense that I get is that if a schedule format comes out of desk the next week, it'll be the three 6 format where first off decisions are gone and everyone gets three permanent opponents and then 6 rotating ones. I get the impression that the SEC office and a lot of schools in the SEC really like that because that checks a few boxes including mathematically you get three teams that you face every year, but then you rotate the other 6 games means that you see everybody else in the SEC twice over a four year span. Home in a way. And it fixes a lot of problems..

"Makes science great is that it doesn't bother itself with stuff like that. And Emerson would agree. But he'd critiqued the person living during his time, and no doubt the person listening today who talks a big game about how much they're interested in nature. They read books about the natural world. They listen to 12 podcasts describing the natural world, and yet it's been next to zero time actually in the natural world listening and paying attention to what it has to teach them outside of a classroom setting. If humanity is out of alignment and seems stuck in this place of disunity, this has to be a contributing factor to Emerson. People are so over indexed on gathering scientific information from nature. That they completely ignore the moral and spiritual information that's available through actually having an experience in nature. In his essay titled the American scholar, Emerson makes a case that there are three things a person needs to ensure a proper education. They need nature, books, and action. Hopefully it's obvious why nature is important to him at this point. And action is the only way thoughts in your head ever become something real in nature that you can learn from. But it's the books and the nature books and action education. To Emerson books pose a unique threat to anyone that wants to be a thinking person. Because despite how much undeniable good they may do. Books can also be a dangerous trap for someone to fall into. Now keep in mind when he says books, that means any type of educational content in our modern times. It could be videos, podcasts, documentaries, blogs, even just endlessly going to school. Because there is never a set end point when it comes to learning about things. An easy trap to fall into for Emerson is to just endlessly learn, and then never actually create anything with the knowledge that you've acquired. Endless education can be a lifelong filibuster so that you never really have to ever think for yourself..

"Nature is a landlord that has given you a home to stay in, and a lifetime lease at that. Nature is both a boss and an employee. It gives you tasks that you need to get done. It gives you purpose, but it also sometimes works for you and the things you need. Nature is a 24 hour gym. Try walking up one of those mountains sometime. Nature is a doctor. Not only because it provides you with the medicinal ingredients for any number of problems you may have physically, but nature is a psychotherapist as well. How many people have you heard say that the problems of city life are stressful and draining to them? And that when they can take a couple hours and be by themselves in nature, they feel recharged. They feel a renewed sense of vitality. Nature has the ability to transport us into an entirely new headspace. On that same note to Emerson, nature puts the problems of day to today life into their proper perspective. That almost all of them are not that big. Certainly not big in comparison to the ongoing unified process of the natural world. By studying the macrocosm of nature, we start to better understand the microcosm of ourselves within it. Emerson writes in one of his essays quote, the ancient precept of no thyself and the modern precept study nature become at last one maxim. By connecting more with nature, we end up connecting more with ourselves. What else is nature though? Nature is a role model. We talked about consistency in our episode on self reliance that we just did. And Emerson says, don't worry about being the picture of absolute consistency that society sometimes expects of people because your human nature alone has a certain level of consistency written into it that corresponds with the rest of nature. He says, look at a mountain range, or a tree, or a bird, every one of these looks chaotic and inconsistent from one perspective. But take a few steps back and look at the mountain range in its entirety and the seemingly jagged and chaotic rock formations start to make more sense and appear consistent. We can learn how to live better from nature, and there are thousands of examples like this to Emerson..

Try a set 6 times in this poem and become is said three times, and then of course there's yes, yes, yes, you, you, great grace, kiss is in so many different places in her work. And repeating words is a way of creating music in the poem and creating echo and also then creating a conversation with the reader. Upon where you're hearing a yes, echo back to a yes. Makes you think, do I agree with the yes? Am I the one saying yes, yes, is the poem saying yes yes to me is the poem I'm trying to reassure me or bring me into a conversation. It's a certain poem of persuasion and intimacy, but it's also a poem that is in a certain form of the imperative. It's giving an instruction, keep yourself at the beginning of the beginning, and I'm sometimes nervous about poems that are in the imperative, but here I think this is the poem that pleads that knows you are the nothing. You are the universe exploding in itself. It can be helpful to know that the first book the Hannah Emerson published was called you are helping the great universe explode. And I think that's a little cold into so much of her work. You are helping the great universe explode. It's almost like you're overhearing a quiet whisper at the beginning of the Big Bang, speaking, amazingly to you saying stay.

"But doesn't believe that that God involves itself in human affairs whatsoever. The strength of this is that a belief in this type of God frees him from the chains of religious fundamentalism. But it also doesn't relegate him to a hardline purely materialistic view of the universe that might limit someone who's just trying to explain things through science. To Emerson, there are immaterial transcendent aspects of reality. They just manifest themselves to us sometimes through the material world. More on this next episode, but the important part here now is to understand this over soul in his work and how it in part represents a connection that the individual has to the universe in its totality. The idea and transcendentalism is that every part of the universe is connected to every other part of the universe, including us as self reliant individuals, uncorrupted by society. He says quote, we lie in the lap of immense intelligence, which makes us receivers of its truth and organs of its activity. That immense intelligence that he's talking about is the over soul. And as self reliant individuals, we can become receivers of its truth and organs of its activity. In other words, people that are willing to pay attention and watch the universe at work will gain access to the truth. People unwilling to do the work who take the uninspired path of regurgitating talking points will never gain access to the truth. Wisdom gained from intuition, which he sometimes called spontaneity, he sometimes calls it instinct. Wisdom gained from here, has a profound added benefit to Emerson. Because not only can this sort of wisdom inform our everyday decisions. But then through the practice of getting better at connecting with this oversaw. With the universe, we also inexorably feel more connected with the universe and our relationship to it. So being a truly self reliant individual removes the need for some third party text or group to make you actually feel connected to something. Ralph Waldo Emerson closes out the es talking about ways we can apply self reliance to specific areas of society. For example, religion asks us to conform, self reliance could improve upon that. The arts ask us to just imitate the artists that came before us. We could use some more self reliant artists. It's an interesting close out to the essay and it's going to be relevant to next episode when we talk about his essay on nature and how we can rethink the historical concept of nature, what that means through this transcendentalist lens. But if I know my listeners, then I know there's quite a bit out there all wondering the exact same thing right about now. Wait, so Emerson saying that I shouldn't follow society as a guide to tell me how I should be living. Philosophers included. But he just spent the entire essay telling me how I should be living. Once you say that's a bit inconsistent and not in a good way, but I think he'd say that he's being obviously misunderstood there. I think he'd want to clarify heading into next episode that he didn't claim to be or want to be thought of as a philosopher in the first place. He thought of himself, it seems, as much more of a poet than a philosopher. He thought philosophers had been missing the mark for a really long time. And to help frame all the ideas presented in this episode today, I'll leave you with his words from another section of his writing, where he reimagines the entire way that philosophy might be done in the future. He writes, quote, the analytic process is cold and believing, and shall I say it, somewhat mean, as spying. There's something surgical in metaphysics as we treat it..

"To be great, is to be misunderstood. The cost of greatness sometimes requires you to be a misunderstood person living in a state of true nonconformity with the mobs of society constantly breathing down your neck. You know, one thing he never promises and self reliance is that it's going to be an easy life. He says easy to be a nonconformist while sitting in your basement never talking to anyone. But try doing it in public where you're being attacked by a mob of conformists screaming somebody else's ideas at you. Much more difficult. But he says, true change, the kind of change Americans needed during his time that would bring about the abolition of slavery, women's rights, the rights of workers, and all the other issues that mattered to them. True change was only going to come about from actual individuals stepping up and daring to exist outside of that mob. And again, it is a disgusting idea to Emerson to think that you are somehow not capable of being that individual. Just think of that whole idea for a second that it takes a great person to think of an idea that can change the world for the better. Emerson would want to ask, what really is the difference between these so called great person and the so called ordinary person. Because here's what really happens. Most people think about the world and have their own intelligent feelings about things. Most people through the humility of social conditioning don't dare to speak up about their ideas. For fear of looking stupid or the social backlash of it all. Then one day, somebody with something with enough childhood drama to believe that they actually have something important to say, that person steps up has the courage to voice their opinion and then magically they start to gain supporters and followers and why. Because they're voicing something that resonates with people. In other words, they're voicing something that a lot of other people were already thinking anyway..

"I don't even know who I'm looking at right now. There's this idea that if you're going to run for political office here, you should have been 5 years old, slid down the slide and had some sort of epiphany moment. Keynesian economics. I like it. And then never changed your mind again about anything. You know, heaven forbid you grow and change as an individual over the years. Develop yourself as a person. There's this idea that you should feel ashamed if you don't know exactly where you stand on something. That if you're publicly wrong about something that you should carry around a scarlet letter with you forever, or that throughout the process of educating yourself, if you feel one way. And then you hear something that changes your mind the next day. And then something else that changes you the day after that, there's this idea that that makes you an intellectually weak person. Maybe you're just dumb. Maybe you just agree with whoever's arguing the point in front of you and your brain is actually incapable of differentiating between good or bad points. Or maybe. This fetish we have about the consistency of our beliefs has absolutely nothing to do with being a well thought out person. Another bit of philosophical context about what Emerson's up to during this particular portion of the essay. There's this long-standing enlightenment era confidence in reason order and consistency. That the legitimacy of an idea is directly connected to how consistent that idea is. You can understand why. The thinking is that if something is true, it's going to be just as true tomorrow as it is true today. That if an idea is proven to be false at some point, then we had been formerly living in error as a society. Now, this is certainly a noble cause, right? And you can see how it directly connects to this lack of confidence in the whims of the individual as a marker of legitimacy. You can see why people might try to make someone feel dumb, who changes their mind or contradicts themselves from one week to the next. But Ralph Waldo Emerson, making the case for the individual,.

"And to Emerson, the needs of society and the needs of the individual don't always necessarily align. And this is one of the real dangers of conformity to him. It causes otherwise super passionate people to waste so much time that they could otherwise spend offering their own unique talents towards arriving at a solution. It's in this spirit that Emerson thinks that the solution to conformity is obvious. It's nonconformity. And if conformity comes about by looking outside of ourselves for how we should be feeling about the world, then true nonconformity is only going to come from a turn inward. That said, even if you realize this, even if you can avoid falling into the trap of all these different types of external dogmas, you're still not out of the Woods yet. The second major trap that people fall into that sabotages their ability to be a self reliant person can be thought of as a sort of internal dogma. What Emerson calls the trap of consistency. See, because so far, all this talk by Emerson of staying true to yourself and relying on your individual perspective, that all may sound good in theory. But it definitely has its fair share of critics. One of the most common rebuttals to what we've been talking about so far has to be that we can not rely on individual perspectives to be a reliable source of legitimacy because individuals themselves are not reliable. People change all the time. People think one thing one day and completely change their mind the next. The volatility of the individual ensures that we can never build our society around them. And this way of thinking about the individual manifests itself in our everyday lives and what Emerson calls a strange obsession or even a fixation that society has on the consistency of our beliefs. There are many examples of this, but one of the most obvious ones to start with are the positions people hold that are running for political office. Try.

"The stabbing in the head is obviously an extreme example here. But you can imagine the same line of thought applying to less extreme examples. Say, standing up for what you believe is right when your opinion might not be the most popular with the mob mentality of the world. The bigger point here for Emerson is that if you're an advocate for conformity in any capacity, then you have to also be able to answer the question how much conformity is too much conformity. Because maybe some things are easy to agree on, right? Maybe we can all agree that we shouldn't be able to murder each other. Things like that. But how about conformity when it comes to which political viewpoints people should be able to hold? It should society govern that. How about which jobs society thinks you'd be the best at? Should you conform to that? How about who society thinks your spouse should be? At a certain point, blindly following society, not thinking for yourself, and instead just conforming to somebody else's opinions at a certain point that becomes an act of cowardice to Emerson. But again, hold on, Ralph. Another objection. What, am I supposed to am I supposed to never agree with anything anyone says about the world? What if I'm listening to someone talk about the way the world is? And it just genuinely resonates with me. My individual personality agrees with their individual personality. Is that so hard to imagine? I think Emerson would say it's not hard to imagine. The point here is to remain true to yourself, to not need society or other people to tell you how you should be feeling. And only you can know if that's what's going on in your head in each particular instance there. But just consider this. If you're somebody that falls strongly into one particular social camp or another, I think he'd just say, beware of the convenience of staying in that position. You know, how convenient that all your moral intuitions correspond with Christianity if you're a Christian. How convenient that your politics matches up perfectly with a certain group of people that have a certain letter next to their name. How convenient that every time you listen to a certain show, you find yourself agreeing with.

"I mean, who am I to come up with any sort of interesting counterpoint to the discussion of my age? I'm just an ordinary person. I'm not some genius. I'm not a thought leader of some sort. Yeah, sure, this idea is truly how I feel about the situation. But if I say this thing in public, I'm probably just going to embarrass myself. I must be missing something incredibly obvious here that all the smart people already know. Ralph Waldo Emerson thinks this is an absolutely toxic way of thinking about yourself. And he says so often what naturally goes along with this type of attitude is the further assumption that if you're thinking person and you want to know more about the world around you, that the path to becoming a really smart person with well thought out beliefs comes from reading a bunch of other really smart people that are quote unquote experts in whatever area you want to educate yourself about. In other words, to get smarter, all you gotta do is turn to a philosopher, a religion, artists, thought leaders, external sources of truth. You read these really smart people and essentially just say whatever they said. Somebody asks you what you think about something, you just recite the pre approved smart person answer that you memorized last week. That's basically what becoming a smart person even is. Where else would you learn how to think intelligently other than by listening to smart people? Well, Ralph all the members and thinks this is exactly where people go wrong when trying to learn to think intelligently. See, if Emerson was anything, he was an enemy of dogma of all varieties. He didn't think that you should just imitate someone else's opinions if you wanted to be a smarter person. As he says, imitation is suicide. And what he meant by that is that when you trade your own unique personal development for a ready made dogma spoon fed to you by a third party, you are effectively sacrificing your life. You are sacrificing your own unique contribution that you and only you can offer to society..

"But briefly talk about what the guide's principle is and what chairs is. Guides and chairs are a two acronyms. And I had the privilege, as I mentioned before, to study the Bible 30 hours a week for nearly 20 years. And I looked at everything the Bible and parenting, not just principles that would apply to parenting, but what has God said to a father to a mother. And I worked really hard in putting it together in an acronym guides that parents would be giving, understanding, instructing disciplining, encouraging, and supplicating. And we won't go into that, but that's God's call on a mom. That's God's call on a dad. And he wants us to do that. And we do that unto him. But then I looked at another acronym chair as CHA IRS, which I looked in scripture, what does God say to us about male and female, for instance, act strong be like men? Well, what does it mean to be strong like man? There's no statement be strong and act like a woman. What does God saying to us? And I worked very hard than taking those salient scriptures that deal with masculinity as well as femininity, but in this one masculinity and came up with chairs. And there are things about a boy that are very masculine, and when you understand what God is saying, you can then speak into that with what I call respect talk, and that boy's spirit will soften, he will look at mom and move towards you to connect,

Emerson Eggerichs: Boys Need a Mother's Respect
"About in your book, mother and son, the respect effect. That innate ability of a woman to look at herself first. I mean, it is something I say in gene all the time, where she's loading up guilt because something didn't go right. You were very strong yesterday saying moms don't do that. We know you're going to look to your own heart first to say, look how I've blown it. Look I've shamed. Reiterate that important point for moms, not to go down that alley, which could be really destructive. Right. Well, and the point applies because we're saying that boys need a mother's respect. And at first, that seems counterintuitive, it's countercultural wait a minute. I need my son's respect. I can't believe you're saying I got to respect my boy because he's doing things that are not respectable. He's not being obedient to me. And so, but it was Sarah, my wife, as well as hundreds of others that began to put me on to this when they began to apply this teaching that we've had in marriage that when a wife puts on a respectful demeanor toward her husband, Batman softens, moves toward her and connects, which is the longing of every woman's heart. And she began to apply it to her boy, and they began to write me. And so when I wrote this book, though, I realized I know that many mothers, oh, I have been so disrespectful. Oh, and then she starts replaying her mind, all these scenes where she's blown it. And now she's thinking I've ruined him. I've ruined the family. I've ruined everything. Ruin the cosmos. And she moves into the self deprecation. So one of the things I want to encourage her to do is we need to work together here. This is not for the purpose of you going into that. We're just talking about adding a few vocabulary words to your love and to keep doing what you're doing, but make some adjustments and meet a need here that we think has been removed from the parenting radar screen with regard to a boy's need to feel respected for who he is apart from his performance.

Good afternoon. Oh, absolutely. The whole time. Watch this and Ben it was a starter while he should be the story. But you know what? It just kills me.

When you got two guys that closed, the players are a big thing. Let's get done. Let's move. Let's move ahead. What's going to happen Monday night? There ain't no stale Alabama has over Georgia. Alabama has all this football, okay? I mean, they beat Jordyn. Not exactly true. You know, since Georgia last beat Alabama, I think auburn has beaten Alabama four, 5, 6 times. But I mean, you know, they got a great football team of birds. That's no big secret. They have a dominated. But you know what? If you go back and you look at the last game, Paul, okay, we had two time. We had two drives gotten a red zone, got no points out of them. You turn those into touchdowns, probably got a whole different ball game right there, right? It ain't about a George worried about what Alabama does. I mean, you're not on some dog. It's like, you know what? I mean, you're talking to real people here, buddy. I know I am. I know you know what Kobe smart said today. He pointed out I made it perfect. I asked if I can pressure on brass young. He said, you know what? We rushed four guys, okay? Somebody's got to win the battle. One of the four have to win the battle. You lose all four battles.

"The pride passion that pageantry of college football lives here. This is the Paul Fein bomb show hour three podcast. So much conversation about the game Saturday. We've looked at it from many, many sides. We're looking forward to getting yet another perspective. Our friend Seth Emerson from the athletic has been digging deep as well. Seth great to have you on. So let's get right to it. Bama fans are optimistic. They don't come. They don't have too many reasons to back it up, but as you study this game and look into everything that goes into it, we're curious your analysis. Couple schools of thought, pop in my mind right away, Paul. Number one, which I've seen propagated by some of Georgia fans is that if you flipped the resumes if this was Alabama that was number one and had demolished 11 straight opponents and this was Georgia, meanwhile that just came in, skating by the way it did at auburn and had, I think it's three other games that were decided by a possession or less that Alabama would be wildly favored and favored by way more than 7. But I think it's fair. I mean, you don't believe it until you see it kind of factor with Georgia and Alabama in that building. Or even like you want to take it back to the Georgia dome in 2012. The other way I look at it though is that I think Alabama legitimately is, the best team, Georgia has faced to this point and number one, they have the second best defense on paper that Georgia has faced after Clemson. And we know that Georgia's offense had its toughest game that week. But then they have one of the best offenses. Maybe the best offense that Georgia has faced. So it definitely makes for a close game or something where you don't sit here and say, ah, George is going to easily run away with it. But I think it's also fair considering the way Georgia has performed this year and the way Alabama has performed to have Georgia as a very solid favor. Yeah, especially as you and others have pointed out Seth when you do the comparison shopping. I mean, George is beaten some of the same teams that Alabama has beaten by considerably more. I just mentioned the auburn game. That's not the only one. And I don't know how important all that is, but the team that Alabama just struggled to meet with a quarterback who was barely able to walk George and won by 24 earlier in the season. Arkansas, Florida, one more common opponent in there, but if you look at all the scores, and if you add it up, actually, I think Alabama scored as many points against those opponents as Georgia did, but Georgia allowed way less points. And that's another, like you say, the comparison, look, every week is different. Every opponent is different. But there's a trend there where Georgia has done much better against those common opponents. This isn't Georgia playing a team from the Big Ten or the PAC 12 with totally different schedules. There are, like we said, the Florida game was really nip and tuck. It was not for Georgia. Auburn, you mentioned Arkansas and other yeah, that's another point for Georgia to say, look, you know, we should be more than a touchdown favorite in this game. We should have confidence and frankly, I think Georgia needs that confidence. I think it sets up this way that when if they're going to be able to beat Alabama this time, they have to go in with a confidence of holding up one finger when I mean A-okay. One confidence. Number two, they need to go in loose and relaxed and they should because they're in. The pressure is not on them. The pressure's on Alabama to either win outright and get in or place so well to give the committee something to think about. But those are two big factors. And then a third one motivation. Just because they're in the playoff, doesn't mean that they're not going to try to win this game. The motivation is to finally beat Alabama and probably and by the way, knock them out. Get rid of them so you don't have to see them in the playoff at some point. So Georgia has all these things that should be lining up in their favor on Saturday. You're plugged in to this program, obviously, and I'm curious what type of messages do you think are being sent out this week in relation to Saturday? Paul, my experience with Kirby smart is what we're hearing publicly is often different than what we're hearing. Behind the scenes, you find out, for instance, that audio that snuck out of the halftime at the Florida game where he just wanted to physically break them. He wasn't saying anything that gave off that kind of aura up front. So he could be behind the scenes saying a lot of these things, which is we have to beat these guys. We have to, we have to finally end this. We need to send them a lesson or send them a message. We have to teach them less, et cetera, et cetera. Publicly, it's a big game, but it's just another game. Play your game. Do what you've been doing. And that's kind of the approach they're taking. I think Kirby definitely doesn't want them kind of tightening up, but the thing is, Paul that what people kind of remembered is that Georgia was the underdog in all these games..
