"Hey listeners, it's Jess here. If you're like me, you know there's nothing worse than finding out about a party after it's already happened. I don't want to miss out. Well, the GZM Family subscription is a party, and it's not too late to join. If you want ad -free and early access to new episodes of your favorite shows, plus bonus content that's only available to GZM family There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They go to school in a place you can't see. Mr. A. Dr. A. It's good to see you, Casey. Would have preferred better circumstances, but... Did you come down here looking for Brinley? Brinley? Wait, do you not know where you are? Not really. Kind of been locked in one room. Food's not bad, though. This is the Elixir Academy, where Brinley went to school. Ding, ding, ding. Headmaster's abode, to be exact. Headmaster. And you're here because...? Because I was trying to rescue sci -fi, and instead I got captured by the Headmaster, who has now seemingly brought us all together for this lovely reunion. You want to know how we got here? Kinda sorta. Childcatchers. Childcatchers? Childcatchers. Abducted us from the courthouse before my hearing. Why were you in court? Long story. Oh, your old pal Magnus wanted me to say hi. Magnus, can we please... Yeah, listen. There's a lot of weird happenings happening on this freaky deaky island. Is Brinley safe? Safe is a strong word, but yeah. I think she's okay. At least she was before I went through the portal. I'm sorry, did you say portal? Casey? Hello? Are you in here? She's gotta be back in these caverns somewhere. What are you gonna say to her when you find her? I'm gonna let her have it for everything she put me through since I was little. Yeah, except that wasn't her. Yes, it was. I mean, it wasn't her yet. You understand? No, I don't. I don't understand any of it. I'm sorry. For what? For all of this. It's a lot. Hey, at least I figured it out, right? And I even remember. What do you mean? I mean that for a while, before I discovered that Penn was the cause of it, I was losing my memories. Of home, of my family, of you. Oh, that sounds terrible. I could feel it all slipping away and it was so terrifying. Because even if we're not, you know, Siley anymore, the idea that I'd forget you, us, that was just the worst thing I could imagine. Because you changed me. We changed each other. Yeah, and I would never ever want to lose that. Casey, are you down here? She's not all bad, you know. Who? Casey, Katie, whoever she is. Oh, geez. What? You, that's what. Don't tell me you have a type now. What are you talking about? Mean girl, clever beyond her years. I don't have feelings for Casey if that's what you're asking. You'd better not, because that'd be profoundly weird. You know that, right, Sinus? That girl is my mom. I said I don't have feelings for her. Okay, just checking. I think she's gone, by the way. And we need to find a way back to Elixir Academy. Badger, where are you? I'm here, Bird. I think I came up with an idea on how we can help Bruce. Assuming we can find him. Why are you holding chains? Well, Bruce made me promise that if there was ever a chance he'd go full Adam that I - That you'd chain him up. And then shut him down. Oh, there are other options. So what's this idea of yours? Right, my idea. I was out for a little swim and it suddenly hit me. Casey is the one who made Bruce all out of me, right? We think so. And Casey was working for Delphine. Uh -huh. Well, it stands to reason that Casey was communicating with her from inside of Holiday Corp while she was working there. But you don't have access to Holiday Corp anymore. Well, let's just say someone there is still loyal. Say hello, someone. Hello, someone. Ivan is still working for you. I'm working with Queen Birdie as a friend. See? Pays to be nice to your AI. Cool. So what's the plan? Ivan? I was able to trace the signal of every called Casey Holiday place from inside the building. There was one recurring number I did not recognize. Delphine. All we have to do is call the number, pretend to be Casey, arrange a meeting, and - Wait, pretend to be Casey? How do we do that? We don't. You do. I mean, you and Bruce made your voice lower, right? And Adam was able to make himself sound like Holiday. You want me to use Casey's voice? You think you can swing it? Do I think I can swing it? I can give it a try. Yes! You're about to become the most awesome thing in existence. A 16 -year -old girl. Sibot, anything to report from the beach? As a matter of fact, Cyrus Anders, yes. Did someone come by the island? No, but I'm detecting a change in the atmosphere. Oh great, another electromagnetic earthquake? Quite the contrary, Brinley. It's all gone. What's gone? The energy surrounding Elixir Key. You're talking about the energy that made Badger and Bruce shut down, that turned off their hoverboards? The very same. So means... that Hubby! You out there? You brought Hubby? You and I rebuilt him with the idea that we could go on rides together, right? Romantic rides around Juno? That feels like a long time ago. Well, you want to drive? You can go in front. I really did change you. Sibot, you sure we're not going to plummet into the water with the robot gators once we get up there? Nope. Great. Did you say robot gators? The Headmaster has an army. I'll explain on the way. Well, after you. Thanks. Cozy, huh? Yeah. Um, just one more thing. If that force field or whatever you want to call it is suddenly down, that might mean that the Headmaster wants us to go back to Elixir Key? I'm counting on you! Shh, it's starting. GZM shows. Imagination amplified.

"I will tell you that we arrested, they came after my partner and I, they were surveilling my house. We caught them. We caught them surveilling the house. Like I said, this story would take a long time to tell about why DEA was slow to react. I can just say if management had been different all the way to the top, I think things would have been differently, but it doesn't take many cogs in that wheel to cause bad things to happen. But we documented surveillance on our homes. Nothing was done on a little island like St. Croix. Nothing was done. But yeah, ultimately they machine gunned my partner's personal vehicle. That day, one of my other task force partners and I, a guy named Chris, Chris and I had been Angel's babysitting son while he worked a second job. So we came back that night to the house with Bomb B, his little boy, the kind of kid that would make you wish you had him. I'd never had children, but I think about Bomb B and I wish I would have had kids. I mean, he makes you wish you had kids, but yeah, we dropped him off at the, dropped off the house, kind of hung out for a little bit, had a little bite to eat with the family and everything and dropped Bomb B off and then we all kind of left at the same time. Angel's dad, he's just an old fisherman, just an old St. Croix fisherman, he borrowed the truck that night. The truck that Angel and I went fishing in, you could ride it down the beach, just a little island truck, a little rusted out Nissan island truck. Angel's father, as we're all leaving, his father took the truck and was going to use the truck for something that next day and we all leave. Well, they were surveilling from a distance, probably from the mountain across the way. And so we all leave. Well, they always saw, they knew Angel, that was his truck and also Angel and I were always, we did stuff we did in that truck, but yeah, they let that truck get about a mile or two from the house into a kind of like a deserted part of the island and then pull it up next to it in a full -size Dodge Ram pickup truck with two automatic weapons and just let them have it. And luckily his dad, I'm telling you, if there's a big guy upstairs, he was watching out for Majean, that's his nickname, it was Majean, Angel's father, but yeah, somebody's watching out for him. He took five, I think it was five rounds, they were all skinning shots across his face. One went through a lip and in his teeth, but all of them were, and they were still rifled, I mean, they were still spinning straight and true through the window. So he took those across the face. The one that almost killed him went through his arm and went through the door metal on the car keyhole. The bullet turned sideways, full metal jacket bullet turned sideways, hit him in the arm and nicked his breaky artery. But nevertheless, they stopped their truck in front of him to finish, they figured probably it was either my partner or me or both of us. But they come back and Majean, who had been shot, he was still conscious, he saw them gal the truck putting magazines in their rifles through the shattered glass in the windshield. He carried a .357 Magnum because he worked for a restaurant and he did their night deposits for their money, so he had a permit to carry and he had a little .357 Magnum in the truck with him. Well he got, he just shot right through the windshield at him, he got five of six rounds, he passed out before he could get that sixth round off, but that was enough to scare those guys back into the truck, figuring it's one or both of us still alive and getting out of there. And then the ball rolled down from there. We arrested a bunch of people that we knew were involved in other things, we couldn't get them for that for that point in time, but we had them on other charges and the federal magistrate down there let them all go on bond, which is, yeah, so, but that was, you know, in the end analysis that was the best thing that could have happened because over the course of the next eight months we had eleven or twelve tertiary, I mean, primary bad guys and a whole lot of secondaries and tertiary bad guys, but the primaries in that case, of the eleven primaries, eight of them were killed within that next, I don't know, eight months to ten months. Some of them were killed typical island fashion where somebody just runs up real quick and shoots you a bunch of times while you're playing dominoes in like a little place or whatever. Other ones were pretty spectacular, getting shot from a distance, a team coming in that looked like paramilitary and taking them out, but in the end analysis, all those bad guys, except for two primaries, or three, I'm sorry, three primaries, they were all wiped out. I mean, very well done in that time period and the final three end up getting theirs. I think the two of them end up getting life in prison without federal life in prison. So it had a happy ending, but it took a little bit of time. The island was safe for everybody to go back. I know my partner, Majito, his whole family had a little girl, a little boy and his wife. They evacuated them off of St. Croix. They ended up being able to go up and visit my parents way up north in Ohio and get to see snow for the first time and go sled riding and all that. They had a nice time being evacuated, but it was actually by the time it was all said and done, they had a safe place to go back to. All the main bad guys, they were all kaput. And in the secondary and tertiary areas, they either went to jail or they were so afraid because they didn't know who did it. And it was done professionally. I mean, some of the hits, they were done quite well. And so a lot of those bad guys for a couple of years after that were like, oh, boy, let's hide in the basement for a while. Did you get any insight on who was behind those hits? Nope, nobody ever saw that one.

Yes, because this is an episode 124, it's a continuation of episode 123 with the only man documented now to talk faster and take more airtime than I do, Rick Rambo. So we are now at part three of episode 123. Yeah, and I mean, if you've heard that, let me see if I can get my tongue straight. That's all folks. If you work, if you work, good Lord, this is getting worse. Are you on or off your meds? Apparently I'm off. I had my vitamin today. Anyway, if you heard the first two sessions with Rick Rambo, his stories are, it's just phenomenal. They're unbelievable. The fact that you got the small town, Ohio boy that goes down in the Caribbean and lives in a, in a beautiful island and things that he went through there and then ends up in Alaska and has no plans of ever leaving Alaska. I don't think, I mean, it's just, his stories are almost beyond belief, but you know what, with the last name of Rambo, you better be able to put up or shut up, you know? That's right. And I'm pretty sure Rick can put up. Yeah, he can put up. Well, speaking of putting up with me and you, let's just finish our small talk here and we'll get into our, as they say, our case in chief.

"Music It is Eddie Rabbit's birthday. Would have been 82 been gone since 98. How many country stars born in New York City? I don't know. Eddie was. And I think he's underrated. Driving his life away. Hey Mike! I'm guessing he was born in Long Island. I don't think it was New York City. Wasn't in Manhattan. Come on. No country stars allowed to be born in Manhattan. Well, you could be born in the Hamptons? Well, no, no. Long Island. Blue collar Long Island. You know, I love. That's where we live. We lived on the north shore. Denise and the kids and I lived in. But there's a lot of really Trump loving bright red counties in Long Island. Hannity is out on Long Island, didn't he? Well, he's not where the blue collar workers are. Can I tell you a quick story about Hannity? By the way, welcome back. Well, hope you had a great hearing your travel stories. And I had the same experience, too, coming back from an international trip. It's like, don't you want to see my passport? But it's a day to look into the camera thing and just said, thanks, Mike. Thanks, Mr. Gallagher. Which is they're doing that in London now. They do it all over there. It's more and more. I don't even know where you went over this. Oh, I didn't go anywhere. This is this wasn't over Thanksgiving. This is. Oh, gotcha. Gotcha. But anyway, go ahead story. Hannity's lives in a house so massive that he lives on an island out on Long Island. And the guardhouse that you got to drive by to get to the community where he lives is the police station. True story. Might as well. Hey, you know, he's got like Billy Joel. And I think I think Rupert has a house there, but I haven't. Yeah, I got out. I was out there once for a party. I'm thinking this is how the other half lives. Pretty cool. Pretty good. Good for him. Well, here we go after Thanksgiving week. And man, I am just like bursting with with can't wait to get back to work. And where do you want to start? Can we begin with trusting terrorists on this this hostage deal? This is what you get when you trust terrorists. How how do you trust terrorists to deliver hostages? And the only reason they're holding hostages is to try to protect their own skin. Of course. So so we got one American child, a four year old little girl. She's got dual citizenship, Israel and American citizenship. Her parents were slaughtered by the butchers of Hamas. Isn't it wild to see this kind of emerging pressure on Israel? Well, let's not be too rough on these poor people, the poor, the poor people of Gaza. And let's say, you know, Hamas, they're they're they're legitimized by Qatar and the Obama administration helped set them up and everything. And now let's trust them to to to uphold a cease fire. They're still firing rockets into Israel, Mark. Of course they are. And it's our own administration that wants us to trust Hamas. It's our own administration that is calling on Israel to kind of back off a little bit. It's our own president. Late happy birthday, President Biden, a few days ago. It's our own president who said it's eighty two. It might as well be one hundred. Anyway, eighty one. He apologized over the weekend for for doubting the Palestinian death toll numbers because the Palestinians are over there because we know how reliable their testimony always is. And it's their government. I know they're I know they're noncombatant Palestinians and I know they're women and I know it's called war. And that's that's what makes war. They say war is hell for a reason. But it was our own president who said, I'm really sorry. I doubted when the Palestinians said we got like tens of thousands of deaths at the hands of the evil Israelis. The the the pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party has him absolutely on a leash. So I'm sick of hearing how supportive of Israel our our admins are. No, it's not it's not it's not an administration that supports Israel. Meanwhile, on Thanksgiving Day, a big holiday tradition in America is to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Did it? Yep. How about the protesters who glued their hands to the side to the street? I'm thinking good. Rip them off.

I said, Seven Seas had a bottle dressing back in the 70s that kind of disappeared over the course of years. I didn't use it all the time. I was more of a French or Thousand Island kid. But man, Green Goddess was great. I'm excited that maybe Green Goddess is making a comeback. I don't know if it's cool enough for the current world of dressings. A lot of dressings are funny things. Most people stay, well, with the typical. Your Italians, your ranch, your Thousand Island, your French. But every now and again, something exotic. Something like Green Goddess. I hope it's making a comeback. That would be very cool.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Introduction to Philippians
"Brothers and sisters, I would encourage you to open up your Bibles this evening to Philippians. We're going to be taking a look at Philippians chapter 1 and verses 1 and 2. We are beginning the book of Philippians. Today will be more of an introduction to that particular book than anything else. I will attempt to talk about the author, the themes, the aim of the epistle, the things that we can learn from it without spoiling too much of the content so that later on as we preach on individual portions, it becomes anticlimax after anticlimax. I don't want to give away the entire book, but I do want you to have an idea of where it came from, why it is so very important to us today, what we can learn from it, and to see the similarities that exist between this book and indeed our own time. As I'll be discussing in the sermon, Philippi was actually a military colony, and you may have noticed we live in a military colony for the most part. So the resemblances between us and the Philippians, apart from the fact that we have microwaves and cell phones and things like that, and they did not, are very strong. They are still the same kind of people who deal with the same kind of difficulties. They too had a state which was sometimes nice to them and sometimes which oppressed them very badly. They also dealt with the problems of relationships and all of the things that the fall has brought in. So as we look at Philippians and we hear Paul writing to this beloved congregation of his, let us seek to apply it to our own time, but before we come to the word of God, let go us to the God who has given us this word and let's ask him to bless it. Please join me. Oh sovereign Lord, we do pray now that you would be the illuminator of our minds, that you would help us to understand your word. I pray that you would help me to divide it to write, that you would give me liberty and power and unction as I do so, that oh Lord, I would not say anything that goes against your word. I know I am a man with feet of clay. I am capable of interpreting the word or wrong, but I pray Lord that you would prevent me from doing so. I do pray also Lord that you would give me the sustaining power to go through this book, a right, and to apply it to your people. May you give us ears to hear and hearts to receive all that you have to tell us. We pray this in Jesus' holy name. Amen and amen. Philippians chapter one and I'll be reading verses one and two. It says the word of the Lord. Paul and Timothy bond servants of Jesus Christ to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi with the bishops and deacons. Grace to you and peace from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. I wonder if say 10 or 11 years from now, if I was in jail in Washington for my preaching of the gospel and possibly facing the federal death penalty and this congregation had sent me a gift in jail to help me along and I was writing a letter in reply to your generous gift. What would that letter sound like? What would I say? How would I come across in writing to you? Would it be complaining about the government and my situation? Would I be going on and on about the unfairness of it all? And speaking about how my liberties had been infringed or would I be writing to you to know a little about how I was doing and then spend the vast majority, not talking about myself and my own situation as dire as it was, but to spend the vast majority of my letter attempting to stir you up to joy and in the Lord to encourage you to be full of peace and grace and joy even in the midst of adversity. Would I think so little of myself that my letter would seek to lovingly correct problems of disunity that I knew about in the congregation? Would I push back against those who perhaps were on the fringes or in the congregation itself who were teaching bad doctrine in the community? And above all, would I urge you to keep the person and power of the Lord Jesus Christ at the center of everything you did? I hope that I would. I hope I would not send you a letter merely of whining or a simple thank you note that said very little. In my case, though, we're going to have to find out. But in the case of Paul and the Philippian Christians, we already know how he spoke in the midst of those circumstances because that is the letter that we have in front of us. Paul is in the midst of serious adversity, serious difficulty. He is struggling, we know, with loneliness, with persecution, and he writes a letter to his much beloved Philippines that is full of joy and encouragement in spite of all of those difficulties that stood against him in the world. So much so this letter is so full of joy that it has been often called the epistle of joy. Paul writing from jail, remember, and a Roman jail was not like the jails today. We speak today of jails as being three hots and a cot. You have TV, recreation yards, things like that. In Paul's day, that was not the case. You either had to pay for a place to stay if the charges weren't that serious yourself or if you were thrown into a Roman dungeon, you could often die of exposure. You went in with the clothes on your back, and if your friends and your family did not provide you with the things that you needed, including food in jail, you could die very, very easily while awaiting your trial. But Paul, writing from that kind of jail, he uses the Greek words for joy and rejoice, imploring the Philippian saints to rejoice. He uses those words kara and kairo more than a dozen times, and this is just a four -chapter letter, remember. So joy is one of the most prominent themes in what he is writing. He is, as I said, in a Roman jail. This is possibly the second time. I think it's probably the first time that he was there. He is waiting a trial on a capital charge of treason, and the people who will judge him are members of Emperor Nero's brutal and corrupt administration. And as we know, Paul was not somebody who was going to give them a bribe, so there's no way out of his imprisonment that way. And yet, as we shall see, Paul is able to look well beyond the circumstances that surround him, and he's able to actually see Christ in heaven and the work that Christ is doing in the world and indeed in Philippi and throughout the church and to know that God throughout is in control and that all of God's promises are coming to pass. Let me just stop and ask that question right now of you. Do you know those things as well? Do you have that solid trust no matter what your circumstances are in the Lord Jesus Christ, that no matter what afflictions, adversities, difficulties, diseases you're dealing with today, yet still you know that the Lord is in control and that his will is coming to pass and that none of his promises will ever fail. I pray that that is the case, and if not, I pray that you will take encouragement from Paul. He was writing to encourage the Philippians, but we remember that he wasn't writing just to the Philippian congregation. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he was writing to us as well. And so I pray that he would be encouraging you in whatever situation you are in. But we see him trusting absolutely in God, trusting in the Christ whom he knew and that therefore there was this inner principle of joy in his heart, an inner principle that no one could take away and that he still wants to share with others. He wants that joy inexpressible that we heard about this morning to overflow to others. The Romans might take his life. They could do that, but they cannot take away his joy or his peace. That is one of the great promises that is given to the Christian. Nobody can take away the Holy Spirit dwelling within you. Nobody can take away your salvation, and nobody can steal your joy and your peace in those things. But let's take a moment now to discuss how all of this came to pass, how he came to be writing this letter from jail. Where is Philippi? What was it like? Who were the Philippians, and how did Paul come to know them? Incidentally, this is a picture of the Philippian ruins that you will find in Macedonia. I am told they are amazing. It is a UNESCO historic site. Maybe one day as I got to see Ephesus, I will also have a chance to see Philippi. But in the meantime, let's talk about the city. Philippi was originally founded as a colony in northeastern Macedonia by colonists from the island of Thanos. They were called Thacians in 359 BC. But it was captured by Alexander the Great's father, Philip, and renamed Philippi three years later. So it didn't have much of a long run of independence. But in saying that, I have told you very little about Philippi itself. Because the Philippi that Paul knew came along much later on. It is like me telling you that Fayetteville was settled by colonists from Scotland. Because almost 400 years had passed between the founding of Philippi and the time that Paul was writing. Just as almost 400 years have passed between the time of the founding of Fayetteville in our own time. So the Philippi that Paul first visited in around 51 or 52 AD was a very different place. The Romans had captured it from the Macedonians in 168 BC. And in 42 BC during the Roman Civil War that brought an end to the Roman Republic. It was the scene of the final defeat of the forces of Brutus and Cassius by the forces of Anthony and Octavian. Who later of course became Augustus Caesar. And that final battle occurred just outside of this city. This was critical because after the city Octavian turned Philippi into a Roman colony and a military outpost. They released some of their veteran soldiers. The war to defeat the men who had stabbed Caesar had finished as far as they were concerned. And they released some of their legionaries from Legion 28 to colonize the city. Which was founded and I apologize for my terrible Latin here. Colonia Victrix Philippensium meaning the colony of the victory of Philippi. From that point onwards it was a place where Italian veterans from the Roman army were given land. And it sat upon an important Roman road called the Via Ignatia. Which was a road that was constructed by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. Incidentally I learned while we were on our trip that the Greeks joke particularly in Cyprus. That the only roads in Greece that last were built by the Romans. The modern ones all fall apart. It crossed through Illyricum, Macedonia, Thracia and runs into the territory that is now part of Albania. North Macedonia, Greece and European Turkey. Why is that important? Well it's important because it meant that Philippi was a center not only of trade. And they had mines we'll talk about in a little while where they mined gold and silver. But it was a place where it was possible to go from Philippi to other areas of Macedonia. Or to turn south and to go into Greece. They had their own route 95 so to speak running right through the city. That allowed them to have concourse with all the people in Greece and up in Macedonia and into the Roman Empire. This meant that the Lord in founding his church there. Put it in a place where the inhabitants could as they did their daily trade. Carry not only letters to Rome but they could also carry the gospel to the surrounding areas. Now the citizens of this colony were regarded as citizens of Rome. And they were given a number of special privileges that ordinary inhabitants of the empire didn't have. It was in many senses a miniature Rome. Literally because they were under the municipal law of Rome. It was as though they were a colony that was in Italy actually attached to Rome. That was the way the law functioned. And they were governed by two military officers the Duumviri who were appointed directly from Rome. And the colony itself although it was relatively small. It was only about 10 ,000 people when Paul reached it. It was very wealthy as a general rule. They had gold and silver mines just outside the city. And those mines were still productive in Paul's day. It was as I said a little Rome in the midst of Macedonia. And not just in the government. It was laid out like a Roman city. And so to this day you can see that they have a Roman forum in addition to a Greek Agora. But how did Paul get to this city? How did he get there? Well let's read a little from Acts 16 which actually tells us. So if you would turn in your Bible to Acts chapter 16. And I want to begin with verse one which will tell us that Paul was actually when this all started. He was in Asia Minor. He was over in modern day Turkey on his second missionary journey. We read then he came to Derby in Lystra and behold a certain disciple was there named Timothy. The son of a certain Jewish woman who believed but his father was Greek. He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted to have him go with him and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region. For they all knew that his father was Greek. And as they went through the cities they delivered to them the decrees to keep which were determined by the apostles and elders of Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number daily. Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia they came down to Troas and a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him saying come over to Macedonia and help us. Now many people have speculated just as an aside that this is Luke who was speaking to Paul in a vision. Now after he had seen the vision immediately we sought to go to Macedonia concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. Therefore sailing from Troas we ran a straight course to Samothrace and the next day came to Neapolis and from there to Philippi which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days and on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside where prayer was customarily made and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul and when she and her household were baptized she begged us saying if you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord come to my house and stay so she persuaded us. And we know that Paul and Timothy stayed with Lydia for some days. They had some other encounters. I'm not going to read the rest of chapter 16 but I would encourage you to actually read all of chapter 16 tonight. It won't take you that long but you will read about the exorcism of the demon possessed slave girl which unfortunately got them into trouble because the demon allowed her unfortunately to know about things that men didn't know about. And so her owners used to get money from her that way. We'll also tell you about Paul and Silas's unjust imprisonment and then the household baptism of the Philippian jailer which is marvelous and of course one of those household baptisms that shows us that we are to be baptizing not just parents on their confession of faith but also their children. This was the first church established in Europe. Note that. And that at the explicit direction of the Holy Spirit who made it very clear that Paul was to turn the direction of his labors from Asia Minor which is modern day Turkey to Europe. He goes through Macedonia and then after that he goes into Greece and brings the gospel into Europe. Now the bond as you will read through the Philippi you can't help but notice the friendship, the love that exists between Paul and this congregation. It was peculiarly close though others had abandoned him in his imprisonment as we shall see these Philippians had not. They continued to pray for him and they continued to provide for his needs in this world. They sent him a gift. As I said I don't want to give away too many spoilers but they had sent a man by the name of Epaphroditus with a gift for him in jail and then he had sent Epaphroditus back to them with this letter. That's how he got it. And as I mentioned this letter was written from Rome during his imprisonment. The beginning of that is related in Acts 28. The reference to Caesar's household which you will read in Philippians 4 22 and the palace in Philippians 1 13. In the Greek it's Praetorium. It was probably the barrack of the Praetorium guard attached to the palace of Nero and that confirms this. So I tend to think it was during his first imprisonment at Rome. That would tend to sit with the mention of the Praetorium and that he was in the custody of the Praetorium prefect and his situation agrees with the situation in the first two years of his imprisonment that you can read about in Acts. In Acts 28 30 and 31. It's not that important whether it was the first or the second imprisonment. The fact is he's in prison. He's in prison for his faith. He's in prison for his preaching. But he does not allow that to destroy him or even to to drive him down or to change the nature of his ministry. Many people might have switched over perhaps to a martyr's ministry at this point in time and yet he does not. He continues to encourage the people to go about their their business preaching the gospel and being members of the church no matter what the circumstances are. Now the tone of this letter as we go through it you'll notice this. It's unlike most of his other letters. It contains no long doctrinal discussions. It contains no rebukes of evils that were festering in the particular church. But it is an outpouring rather of happy love and also confidence in these brothers and sisters. He loves them. He is confident in them and he wants them to be confident not in themselves. He wants them to be confident in Christ and in his promises. Like all of Paul's epistles, as you saw, it starts with a salutation. Our letters, of course, and with the identification of the person who's sending it. But the letters back there started with who this letter was from. And like most of his letters, it also starts with a prayer for the people that he is writing to. He isn't just in intending to give them information. He wants to bless them, to bless them with his letter and to bless them with his prayer. And one commentator calls the entire letter a long gush of love towards the Philippians. And it is. There's nothing wrong with that. Verses 1 and 2 that we read there, they contain an apostolic greeting. The senders are identified there. Timothy is associated with Paul. Timothy was with Paul, therefore, in his imprisonment. We remember from 2 Timothy in his second imprisonment that Paul noted that only Timothy had stayed with him. Or rather that he wanted Timothy to come to him in his imprisonment to bring things to him. Timothy remained loyal to Paul no matter what. Timothy also, you remember, was going to become very important to Paul in the Ephesian church and building them up and so on. Timothy was a genuine, he was more than just an amanuensis or a secretary for Paul. He was a helper to Paul. He was a brother in Christ, somebody who would stand with him in thick or thin. Now, Paul mentions him and he often does that. He brings the friends who are about him into prominence. That also indicates that the people in Philippi knew of him and would be interested to hear how he was doing. Timothy is in Rome with Paul when the letter is being dictated. And although Timothy is not the one who is inspired to write the letter, Paul is using him as his secretary to take it down. It's very possible that Paul had an eye disease, which made it very difficult for him to write. He calls Timothy and himself, he addresses himself as a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Now, that's a nice little word, bondservant. It conjures up the idea of indentured bondage, the idea that we're just working off a debt. But when he says bondservant, he's actually using the Greek word doulos. Doulos means literally slave. He is a slave of Christ. Some prefer the translation bondservant to kind of neaten it up. We don't like the idea of Paul calling himself a slave of Christ because of the bad connotations of that. But we remember that most of the Roman Empire, in fact, 20 % of the city there, and this would have had, as a Roman colony, a military colony, Philippi would have had a lower than normal slave population, more free men than slaves. But they still speculate that at least 20 % of those 10 ,000 people within the colony were slaves. And here is Paul saying, I too am a slave. But who is he a slave of? He's a slave of Jesus Christ. He and Timothy are slaves, and they aren't complaining about that. They understood that they were bought with a price by the Lord Jesus Christ in his sacrifice for their sake, and therefore they were owned by their master. They are completely dependent upon him, and they give him their undivided allegiance. They love this master of theirs, the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, Paul clearly, he views it as the highest honor that we can attain to serve Christ, to have his light yoke upon us instead of the heavy chains of sin which he takes away. And he is bound to absolute submission to this Lord who is all worthy and who gave everything for his sake. Paul, note in all of his letters, never forgot what Christ had done for him, never forgot where he was when Christ found him, how he was an enemy of the church, a persecutor of the church. Somebody whom Christ, you remember, addressed on the road to Damascus saying, Paul, Paul, or rather at that time, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? Jesus associates himself so keenly with his people that to persecute them is to persecute him. I was thinking about that as we were hearing about how the Pakistanis are wretchedly persecuted. What their persecutors in Pakistan, the Muslims, do not recognize or realize is that in persecuting them, they are persecuting God the Son. And it will not go well for them to be counted amongst the persecutors on the last day. But he had once been a persecutor. Now he is no longer. He is a slave, a willing servant of the Lord Jesus Christ who loves him with all of his heart. Now note also at the beginning, he doesn't mention that he's an apostle. And so there's a great contrast here between letters like Galatians where he asserts his apostolic authority when he's teaching them. This is a very friendly letter. He doesn't actually need to. He knows they know that he's an apostle of the Lord. Jesus greets all of the saints in Christ. Jesus, who are in Philippi, and he abused them. He calls them saints. And what is he talking about there when he calls them saints? Haggai, literally holy ones. These are people who he considers as they are in Christ. Have you ever thought about this? We may think of ourselves as wretches. We may think of ourselves as people in whom there is nothing worthy of praise. And yet the way that the Lord looks at us is his holy ones, his ones who are set apart. His chosen ones who are even now being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. If you are in Christ, that is who you are. You are one of his special people. In the Old Testament, the word was segula, his special treasure. Brothers and sisters, the devil wants us to think of ourselves as only what we can accomplish by our meager efforts. And let's face it, that's not much. Isaiah, at the end of his long, his long prophetic letter in Isaiah 66, he talks about righteousness, the righteousness that a holy man like himself might be able to accomplish by himself. And he says these things, our righteousnesses are but filthy rags. But Christ, what does he do? He endows us with robes of righteousness. He enrobes us, as Luther put it so very well, so that when we stand before God on the last day, the saints are seen as they are in Christ. That is who Paul sees them as. They are people who are called to be holy and who are being made holy. We have been saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but we are also, and this will come out from this letter, we are also being conformed to the image of Christ. It is as that example that was given to us a little while ago of the, as we were going through the Bible study of the princess who had been made, or rather the commoner who had been made into the queen. She was given the title, but then gradually she was taught the courtly graces and made into somebody who everybody understood and saw was the wife of the king. They are the people of God. They are the saints of Christ and that because of their union with the Lord Jesus Christ. All of the saints together in their communal sense are being addressed by Paul. This letter would have been probably read just as we read it in the midst of worship and so on, and then copied and passed on to the other congregations, the other saints throughout the world.
The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S14 E12: Actress, Coach, Global Life on Stage
"Hello, welcome to The Loatney Show. I'm your host, John Mayolone. In this episode, we don't have regulars, because reasons, I guess. As for our guest, she is from Nigeria, but currently in Israel, and she is an actress, producer, and well, so much more. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Rania Mann. Hi, Peter. Just a very, very quick one. I'm actually originally from Israel, but residing in Nigeria. Oh, that was confusing. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, cool. So, how's life? Well, normally I'd say life in Nigeria is beautiful for me, because there's a lot happening here. I feel like I'm in the heart of a lot of things. I'm in Lagos, so Lagos is the commercial hub of Nigeria and of all of West Africa, really. So, I feel like I'm in the New York of Africa. But, you know, we can't... Yes. Oh, dear. And your audio just got cut off. Can you hear me? Oh, yes, I can hear you now. Okay. Did you hear me? No, I did not. Your audio just cut off completely all the way through. But I heard... Oh, that's funny. I heard you. Okay, so where should I start over or how? Just repeat what you just said entirely. Okay. I said that normally life in Lagos is pretty fun. Lagos is the commercial hub of Nigeria and of West Africa, I think, I would say. So, a lot is happening here all the time, and I feel like I'm in the New York of Africa. So, yeah, but with me being Israeli and what's happening in Israel right now, that's a cloud over our heads at the moment. So, that's life. Oh, alright then. So, what is it you mainly do for a living? I'm an actress and I'm also an acting coach and I produce. I produced a film festival here for about five years and now I produce films as well. Wow, impressive. What was life for you growing up? Oh, that's a very big question. I mean, I grew up in about seven different places till I reached high school. I mean, yeah, till I finished high school. I was born in Israel, then we moved to Ivory Coast, then we moved back to Israel and we moved to Nigeria. Where else was I? Okay, within Israel, we moved to another place and then I moved to England. I did my high school in Thorpe, in Surrey, and then, yeah, went to Israel again. So, I was moving around a lot. Alright then. Which I think is great because it makes you a very cosmopolitan, rounded person. Yeah, absolutely. And if you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? And the audio got cut again. Okay, now I've got you back. I don't know what's going on with the audio thing. Let me see if I can just close off some apps, if that would help. Alright. How's this now? Yes, fantastic. Okay. So, what did you hear me say? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Oh, great. Okay. So, your question was where would I like to live? Where else would I like to live in the world? Yeah, if you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? So, I was saying that for me, I don't know, maybe that's why actors have this tendency to live through characters, right? And I think it's something inherited in me because it depends on the season, it depends on the mood, it depends on the time in my life, the period of my life. Because in Nigeria, for example, I love living here because there's so much I can contribute. Can you hear me? Yes, I can still hear you. There's so much I can contribute to the film industry here and that makes me really, really happy. I think any place where I would feel I'm making a difference and where the weather is not too cold, that would be the place for me. Yeah, fair enough. If someone wrote a book about you, what do you think a title would be? And here we go again. It just cut off, right off. I can't hear anything, she says. Good grief. What a day. And I'm not doing anything. Now I can hear you, now I can hear you again. Right after I told you the question, I couldn't hear you, I couldn't hear you at all. This platform is gaslighting me. Maybe there's like a delay. Okay. Can you hear me now? That's crazy. Yes, I can still hear you. Okay, Okay. so a book about me, I hope would be my mission to this world, which is bridging worlds through art. Oh, alright then. If your mind was an island, what would it look like? If my mind were an island. Gosh, that is such a... Can you hear me? Yeah, I can still hear you. That is such a creative question. Wow. If my mind was an island, it would have... It would have... Multiple... What's the word? Like, you would have a tropical area, then you would have a very cold area on the island. Maybe like a mountain top. Like a foggy mountain top. And then a sandy tropical beach at the bottom. Because, yeah, so you could, you know, be in any place in the island. choose... So you And I get cut off again. Thanks, Spotify, for gaslighting me. I don't understand why this is happening. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. And now you're back. No, because I can hear you very well, though, all through. Yes, but there are times that now, there are times that your audio is just cut off completely from my end. So, yeah, this is crazy. Hmm, what can we do? You want to try another network? What other network? Is this the only one? No, like, let me try and cut off my Wi -Fi and just use my phone network. Let me try that. Okay. One, two. Yes, one, two. I could hear that. Okay. So let's try this and see if that works better. All right, then. Here we go. Right, an island. My mind is an island would be something that you could choose where... You know, according to the mood you wake up with on that day? Yes. You heard that? Yes, I heard you. So it would be maybe like, it would have a tropical, sandy beach and a mountain, a foggy mountain top as well. Okay. Yeah. Nice, very good. Yeah, oh, oh, and a very, and a very busy, hyped urban area with like clubs and music and coffee shops and cinema and all that good stuff. Nice, very good. It must have a theatre. Of course it has to have a theatre. Yeah. Yes. Would you rather not be able to open closed doors or not be able to close open doors? Would I rather be able to open closed doors or... Not be able to... To close open doors? Yeah. Is that what it says? Yes. Judging by the way I live, I normally open closed doors. So, yeah, that's me. Okay, close enough I guess. What happens in real life but rarely gets portrayed in movies? And I can't hear you again. I don't know why I keep doing that. I'm getting gas lit again. Yay! Could it be something, could it be something on the other end? I mean, my Wi -Fi is working alright. My headphones great. I can't, I have no idea to be honest. And this has never happened before? Because it's never happened before to me either. Yeah, this is the first time for me. Any issues that I've ever encountered would actually stop me from recording episodes altogether. I never had an issue that still kept the episode going but still had a bit of an inconvenience to me. So, yeah, it's a weird and funny one for me. Yeah, I agree. I think it's just a delay, I don't know. Yeah, first time for everything. So, what did you mean by close enough? Well, listen, I'm not mad. I understand that this misinterpreted the question, but the question was would you rather not be able to open closed doors or not be able to close open doors? Oh, I didn't hear the first not. I would say I would rather not be able to close open doors. Because I can maneuver myself through open doors. But I hate closed doors. I'm a boundary breaker. Yes, that's great. What kind of music do you often listen to? Okay, can you hear me now? Because I just heard a beat. I can still hear you, yes. Okay, good. I find myself lately listening a lot to The Weeknd. You know them, right? Yes, I've heard of them. Oh, shoot. Here we go again. Let up the gas again. Yeah, it's a current thing over and over again. It's just... Cut the audio from whoever's end. I'd be surprised if this keeps going to the very end. Wow, this is actually a lot longer of a cut than I thought. Oh, this is... That's crazy. No, I know you can... Okay, now you're back. That was a longer audio cut than last time. Or like Evan's recording. I know, but the funny thing is I can hear you all through. Like if you hear this recording later on... Yeah, of course. But the question is, when it comes to the editing process... I'm not sure. Do you want to... Do you want to start over? No, let's keep... I feel like there's some good moments in this that will be very good. And also, we're still going on, so let's keep going and yeah. Yeah, okay. No, what I meant is maybe if we... We don't start the whole thing over, but we'll just start a new recording and then continue from where we stopped and maybe the new recording would be better. I don't know if that's something... I can actually... I've actually worked around editing in the past, so whatever happens, it'll still be good. Okay. Okay. So where were we? You were saying something. Asking something. Great. Fantastic. If you could host a talk show, who would you have on as your first guest? I... Wow. I don't know. I don't know. What would the talk show be about? Well, whatever you like. I think in this point in time, I'd like to talk to Mr. Biden. President Biden. Oh, okay. Or maybe just... Yeah, probably the American president. Yeah. I'm always fascinated by how those people think because I feel like they think in multiple channels simultaneously. Oh, of course. If you're going on a road trip, what two items do you make sure to bring with you? Only two? Oh, gosh. Yes, only two. Yes. Now I can hear you. Can you hear me? Now I can hear you. I was waiting to see how long it would take for you to come back again without me actually speaking. Oh, so how long did it take? I don't know. I wasn't counting seconds. Well, I think it was four minutes by the clock to be recording. Okay, so... That's very little. Usually I'd have like a little purse with some first aid kit. But I think if it's only two things, it would be a phone and a sunscreen. A phone mainly because I'd need something to write with or write on. Yeah, so a phone and a sunscreen. Yeah. I'd like something to write all my thoughts. Yeah, so I don't have to keep them in my head. Yes, absolutely. What's your favorite season? Spring. Definitely spring. Anything warm. Absolutely. Have you met anyone famous? Well, yeah, it depends what you call famous. But I'd say so, yeah. A lot of famous people from the Nigerian industry for sure that are famous all over Africa. And a couple of times met some famous personalities in Israel. And how about again? And now? And you're back. Yay! Well, if I met anyone famous, I think famous is like... I mean, I've met actors that are very famous all over Africa and in the diaspora, of course. I've met some famous people from Israel, from the Israeli scene. But I mean, they're just people. They're my friends. They're just normal people. So, I wonder why would that be a thing? Yeah, absolutely. You never know. Before, they were even famous. They were on the same level as us. No, I mean... So, there's a very, very famous actor. Now he's famous. He's called Daimio Kalawong from Nigeria. And I met him back in 2017 where he was just beginning his acting career. I mean, he hasn't changed since then. He's still the same person and we're still good friends. He's just more busy now, you know? Yeah, I can see that. How much time do you spend on the internet? Hmm... Probably five hours a day or more. Alright then. I'd say the same, to be honest. Would you rather sleep on the wall or sleep on the ceiling? When I'm back. And you're back! Yay! Yay! I would rather sleep on the ceiling. Ask me why. All the floor space you could have? Because I can see everything better from the ceiling. You'd have an abundant view. Oh yeah, that too. Where is the most relaxing place you've been? The most relaxing place I've been. Can you hear me now? Yeah, I can still hear you. I think relaxing place is a state of mind. Because I found myself many times in a resort, in a beach resort, when I was not relaxed at all. And then I found myself many times in bed feeling relaxed and then many times feeling very unrelaxed. So I think it's a state of mind. It's not a physical place. Nice. If you could erase one past experience, what would that be? Any experience in my life. Yes. Any experience in my life where I found myself speechless or numb or... Anything. Yeah, I would erase all of those. All right. All those times. Where I went afterwards and said, I wish I would have said that. I should have said that. All those times. Yeah, that's crazy. Would you rather speak all languages or talk to animals? Can you hear me? Now I can hear you. Wow, this is really challenging. It sure is. Yeah. Could you repeat the question, please? I'll try. Okay. Would you rather speak all languages or talk to animals? Speak all languages. Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. I think that the more we can communicate with our human race, the better our race will be, the more beneficial it will be for the world. So I think that God put us here for a purpose. And the purpose is to better ourselves and to better our world. So, you know, he enabled us to communicate amongst ourselves for that purpose. Yeah, absolutely. If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance of winning a medal for? Oh, goodness. Connecting people. That's my best quality. Nice. That'd be an interesting sport. Yes, it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah. Okay, you do this. Oh, you do that. Okay, that's your passion. I know, I know who you want to talk to. I know who you need to talk to. Bloom. Yeah. Fabulous. If you could travel back in time, what decade would you want to live in? What era I'd like to live in? I think it was the Renaissance when everything was blooming. Arts and science and I don't know. So. Yeah, I'd like to be then when everything was still fresh and new. To kind of be there to impact it. To impact. Nice, absolutely. And that is all we have for this episode. It's great having you on, Rania, talking about your brilliant acting career and working as an acting coach and producer and everything else you're doing in Nigeria. It's been great. Okay. Can you hear me, Peter? Yes, now I can hear you. Okay. Fantastic. This is awkward because it's happening so often, I don't know why. By the way, it was great having you on and I wish you best of luck. And with that being said, until next time, you're welcome. Stay tuned for more.

A highlight from S3 E54: Real Time with Cyrus and Brynleigh
"Hey listeners, it's Jess here. If you're like me, you know there's nothing worse than finding out about a party after it's already happened. I don't want to miss out. Well, the GZM Family subscription is a party, and it's not too late to join. If you want ad -free and early access to new episodes of your favorite shows, plus bonus content that's only available to GZM family There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They go to school in a place you can't find on a map. And they're about to get a new classmate. Did you say Casey is your mom? Why, is that a weird thing to say? Is this like Elixir Academy slang or something? Like a who's your daddy kind of thing? No, that's not... Wait, Cyrus, are you really you? Am I supposed to know what that means? Because if you're not you, I can't have this conversation. Did you hit your head during the quake? I don't have a concussion. I'm serious. Are you really Cyrus Anders? My Cyrus Anders? Well, I mean... Oh, don't get all squirrelly on me now. It's squirrelly? See, there's this kid here, Pen. His mom is Dr. Solstice. He opens portals. Portals? And when you came here on the tour, I think maybe you were sucked through one. Sucked through a portal in the basement. And spit out in a coma. See, Casey said... Casey, your mom... No, stop interrupting. I'm just trying to understand. Casey Dupree is here too, or was. Where did she and Remi go? And Pen? Who's Remi? The point is, Cyrus, if it really is you, you got sucked through said portal and came out all tall. So I need to know if it's really you or some Cyrus from a different dimension. It's me. At least I think it's me. How do you want me to prove it? Name everyone in your immediate family. No, that's too easy. What was the meanest thing you've ever done to anyone in Angelica Graves. Why are these all questions that make me look bad? You tell me. What's your favorite food? Green bean casserole. That is disgusting, but correct. When did you know you had a crush on me? After you had a crush on me first? I did not. You definitely did. Cyrus, you are so... I'm so glad you're here. Wow, you really are tall and solid. You've been working out. What's going on, Brinley? Okay, I think I know how Casey, Katie Casey got here and why, why she's like 16. I honestly don't know what you're talking about. See, everyone in the school, they just suddenly show up one day and they don't remember how they got here. Katie told me that was her story too. Katie, Cyrus with a D. Casey, Cadence, Cavendish, all the same person. Don't ask me how, but... I think I know how. You do? Call me crazy, but I think it's time travel. That's the secret of the island. It's time travel. Time travel. They come and go through portals, right? You've seen it. Once, twice if you count the gators. And I guess I got up close and personal with one too. You? I got sucked in and seemingly spit back out right away, but... But you're taller and older and definitely more buff. Anyway. Anyway, I was gone for a lot longer. What if I went somewhere else? Or maybe someone else? When? Whoa, what if I visited Thomas Edison's workshop or witnessed the building of the pyramids or... I tell you that the teenage version of my mother beamed here from the 80s torment me and you're thinking about some old dude with a light bulb. Tell me about the portal you saw. Okay, well there's this creep who works at Elixir. His name is Kazu. He got sucked through thanks to Penn, aka the baby, and Casey, our Casey, aka the battery. Wait, what? Then a kid shows up at the school with no memory. A kid named Kazu. Wolfgang Pauli? No, Kazu. Cybot? Wolfgang Pauli, an Australian theoretical physicist and pioneer of quantum physics. The Pauli exclusion principle states that two more identical particles cannot occupy the same quantum state. To put it in simple terms, if you have... Don't bother. It means there can't be two Kazus in the same time. So one goes to the past... And another comes out of it. Like my mom? There's a boat coming. Hide! It could be Dr. Solstice! Who? Zareth! Renly! Jude! What are you doing? You're in no shape to drive a boat! I've let this go on too long. I'm heading back to the island. I'm going to talk to Solstice and the headmaster face to face before anyone else gets hurt. Jude! Wait! We'll come with you! I'll see you soon! Jude! Jude! So, should we find your mother? I can't see a thing. Hey! Renly? Guys? Kinda can't see where I'm going. Wanna maybe holler so I can follow a voice or something? Hello? Is anyone there? Great. No, thanks for cutting the electricity, Casey! No, you did it! Amazing! Thank you so much, Casey! Renly probably told him to abandon me. She was so weird before. Is that a light? I thought it killed the power. Okay, there's a lever on the cave wall, and I am going to be dumb enough to pull it. Clearly been spending way too much time with Renly. I'm even mumbling to myself. Okay, here goes. What is this? It looks like the inside of a spaceship or something. Please look directly into the original scanner. Okay. Access granted. Okay. Where are we? Remy? Penn? Oh, great. Thought I did. Only, it's just me. And I'm in the Headmaster's house again? Let's do this. Headmaster, you in here? I shorted out? How? I'm not afraid of you. Let's do this. At ease, Casey. It's just us. Mr. Anders? Dr. Anders? Welcome to the party, kiddo. Hey, now that you've listened to this week's episodes, head on over to the GZM rewind feed to hear me and the creators talk about the latest episodes with special guests, including cast members and superfans. Shh, it's starting. GZM shows. Imagination amplified.
ACG - The Best Gaming Podcast
A highlight from Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming! | Mass Effect Teaser Trailers | Legend of Zelda movie | Spiderman is Spiderman #424
"We're live, what's up everybody this is Karrick with ACG and I'm here with Abzi4, the best gaming podcast number... four, two, four, four hundred and twenty four man. How many have you been on? How many podcasts have you been on? Probably. Do you mean like since I became a co -host? Yeah, since you started. Even if you had the old ones. Or the Patreon? Because you were on a bunch in the first, you know, you jumped in. I remember back in 2018 we did a bunch of, we did game awards and shit. We did a bunch of, you know, events and stuff like that. We did a bunch of E3s. I hopped on a bunch of, a couple internationals. The first one I ever did was just a Patreon one, which was really fun. That's when I, do you realize, there's two games I always talk about and it's Near and Those two games were recommended by you in that first Patreon podcast. That's how I found out about them. That's how long you've been doing them? They were in the original Patreon podcast? They're in the original Patreon podcast and then, yeah, before I became a co -host, yeah, I feel like I come on like twenty, thirty times or something and then ever since then it's been every week, right? Yeah, I think you were on probably the most out of, you know, like the people who come on and join. I think you were on the most before and that you and Johnny was on quite a bit, which is why we, I was like a regular, you know, just like coming in sometimes and yep, coming in hot. What's up? Everybody in chat? People are asking about the ads. Are they real? No, those are, I mean, manscraper. Come on, man. Come on, bro. Those ain't real. That would be, that would be ridiculous. Well, you know what? These days. Josh L, $2 Super Chat. Will Gilf Island have microtransactions? Yeah. See, if you know that sometimes YouTubers make games, if I made a game, it would be Gilf Island and it would be a point and click like Leisure Suit Larry, but with just grandmothers, just hockey island, but like Monkey Island, but half Gilf Hot Gilf's. Yeah, be Gilf Island. What's the, so, so do you have like a distinction between Gilf and, and Cougar or, yeah, see, that's, that's the thing. I personally, I think Cougar's just replaced the number of kids you may have had. So Cougar doesn't matter if you've had kids where Gilf is like grandmother, you know. You have to be a grandmother. Yeah. You have to be a grandmother. So even if you were like a 40 year old grandmother, you'd be a Gilf. You would be a Gilf. Yeah. Technically. But again, we're changing all the slang. So who knows? If there's like an 18 year old with a, with a, that has a son or a daughter, she'd be a MILF. That doesn't sit well. She would. It doesn't sit well. It doesn't sit well. It does. It doesn't sit well when you look at like how we've changed. Like the way we. MILF has to be at least 40, you know. Yeah, right. Exactly. Because at some point you're getting into, well, not into creep zone, especially if you're 20 and that person's 20, but it's still, it's a little weird. Right. Yeah. Sup everybody. Thank you for joining us. We're going to be talking about GTA 6 and the announcement of an announcement. I got to tell you, I just did this on Twitter. I just said, okay. Cause they said, you know, we're, we're happy to announce that at some point we'll have an announcement. And I was just like, come on guys. Do you think they're going to do in game awards? They never do that. They don't. They don't. Rockstar doesn't want to share the rock, rockstar is big enough to not share the limelight with E3. Yeah. They could literally just release a YouTube video and it'll be good, man. Right. Yeah. So I don't know, but it could be, it would be a big get for the game awards to have the big first ever get for the game awards, not for rockstar. They don't need that publicity. Exactly. No. In fact, it would be in a way worse because I know a lot of people who aren't going to watch and aren't interested at all in the game awards. So it's like, you know, there'll be parsing out. We even do that sometimes where we parse out trailers after an event. Yeah. So, yeah. But I mean, they said there was going to be an announcement of announcement what for the last six months we've seen leaked data on it. What did you think? Have you seen some of the leaked, um, like our footage? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She has a fucking ass joy dude. I noticed that as well, I was like that's that's a interrupt those pain. Those pants are tight. Yeah. That's all I got from that. But. That's all you got. Not yet. It's not that I didn't. All I saw was like the Ba -Donca game over there. Like I didn't I didn't really. You know, I didn't really want to look at too many leaks. Yeah. Right? On why I just just went on. Um, it was just a game in progress. Like, didn't they go after a leaker? Probably, yeah, yeah, they did. Actually, they did. They did. But you know, with Rockstar, especially, you know that it's like a spoiler for a trailer, you know what I mean? Yeah, you know, like it's, it's just, it's, it's a Rockstar game, dude. It's, you know, doesn't happen that many. Yeah, you don't want to really, um, we'll put the GTA five thing there. Well, um, I think overall, I don't really want to see too much because like we were talking earlier, I asked everybody what they wanted to see from GTA five or GTA six. And dude, I would never want to be a developer. The ideas that everybody came up with were so cross in cahoots, like they wouldn't work together, you know, people saying I want a four by somebody else said I wanted a strategy. Somebody else said I want Anarchy and a deep characterization. The other person said I want deep customization and no, I want to be the character which I get both of those. I understand both of those sides, but it was I was reading it just going, dude, seriously, if you were a dev and you were reading the thought process on that, you'd be like, we're fucked. No one. Dude, imagine, man, being a dev must suck ass because your customers are gamers, man. Yeah, it's got to be the worst. It's got to be rough because they're and there are gamers who are embedded in GTA to the point of being like, yeah. Okay. For example, we had a big discussion yesterday. I said every announcements been about two years, so they show it and then they announce it and I said one of the reasons why I thought this would make sense for another two years is because they've got to tell people quit buying shit in GTA 4 or GTA 5. Sorry. They've got to do the thing where they don't say it, but they're like just so, you know, GTA 6 is coming. So you might want to not spend a hundred K and GTA 5 and shark cards, but it's like I don't quite know, you know, how they're going to handle that how they're going to say online. Did they release something new for shark tard shark tards? Sorry shark cards. I don't know. I don't know. I cuz oh, go ahead. I don't know. I don't know if you'd agree with me on this. So it'd be nice obviously to like transfer stuff, you know what I mean? Yep, but at the same time dude, it's a new game and you already this is the game you chose to spend. It's like, you know, I mean, it's a the games are not like a year apart. You know what I mean? They're like they're like what like 10 years apart, right? It's just a whole new. I mean, I don't see, you know, if they if they were like, hey, we noticed that your account had like this character with that much shit and you know, we're going to give you a little booster going to give you some stuff that be cool for them, but I'm at the same time. I'd be I mean, I haven't paid much, you know, I don't I wonder what how they would feel but I feel like, you know, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were just like, yeah, this is just a new game start start from scratch, right? I don't know if you'd agree with that or not. Yeah, I think it's diminishing. They'll do a diminishing refund where they're like if you had a hundred thousand you get a thousand if you had a million points of things bought you get five thousand, you know, they'll be a percentage maybe but that's why I think the two years make sense. You announce it now you got two years and you're really telling people behind the scenes. Hey, listen, man in two years GTA 6 is going to be at but GTA 5 isn't going to go away. It didn't go away with red. It's not thank God. But yeah, and gta4 didn't go away and gta4 didn't go away. I mean, well, I don't know what there is in GTA. Is there even an online though and gta4 fucking okay. Yeah, I don't think there is but I don't think what gta5 they would close it down. I just think they'll yeah, they might have a diminishing, you know, return kind of thing where they look at a percentage. Yeah, because otherwise dude, it's a lot the Shrike $5 stupid. I just lost my left bullet using my lawnmower to shave my nuts lawyers details, please. Oh for the for the man scraper commercial. Yeah, I think when you look at like GTA 6 man, what I want to see is want to see a larger world in size a bigger city and then bigger out of bounds. I don't need three cities. People are talking about multiple cities. I don't think it needs to be just cause either. I just wouldn't like to because GTA 5 is good, but you can cover GTA 5 pretty quick. I did the walk in the walk and you can walk to one edge the other pretty quickly not quickly and like, you know what I mean in game, you know, sure. Yeah, it's not eight hours. What are you what I'm wondering about as well. Well, it's always Rockstar there, you know, they're going to like push the push it even more. But what I was wondering I always wonder about this Red Dead. They were able to do what they did with the Red Dead because it's not a fully developed world. So every single NPC you me has his own scripting and and you can talk to them and they react and there's so much detail in that and then like encounters that might happen. Now. I'm sure encounters can definitely happen and GTA but I wonder I wonder if they're going to hate have scripting for every sink dude, like there's no way right like it's super populated. I get it's a city. There's no way they're going to script maybe they're going to do some crazy tech voodoo smart shit where they do some like AI scripting, you know, what I mean or something like that, but I don't see them, you know, but but it'd be it'd be awesome man. If GTA on the scale that it is had the same type of detail and and and density has read that that'd be that be insane man. And I always wonder about that. Like like what what direction maybe they're just too completely there two completely different games going two completely different routes, you know what I mean? So I don't know. I mean, it'll be the first ones based on SSD and NVMe. Yeah, so my personal opinion is they'll do a lot of loading behind the scenes NPCs. They'll do what Ubisoft does where they you know, they sample less scripting for the farther out the end of the guy is and so you're up close guys. There is a lot going on but looking at the footage here. There's a lot of places in GTA 5 where there isn't a ton of traffic and people and then depending on the time frame depending on the city. There is a lot I think they can probably do something that's very close to Red Dead plus a lot of cheats. They're going to have a ton of cheats. Yeah, 100 percent Legion had a ton of really good despite anybody's love or hate for Watchdogs Legion. If you watch their GDCs, they had some really smart ways of basically having one person sort of running a group of people and and it was like using their senses instead of everybody's and then informing others and sort of like fear did with its with its AI and stuff. I mean, I'm sure they're going to be able to work it out. It is over. They'll definitely have some cool stuff because of the new consoles. I mean base PS5 base Xbox series S and X they can do a lot with those is this so Red Dead came out 2018. That was almost that was like towards the end of the console life cycle. I believe now we're in the middle of it and it's interesting because even GTA GTA was at the very very they pushed the shit out of those systems. Remember Xbox 360 PS 3 like that was at the very very end the cusp. So it's interesting. This is going to be the first well, maybe I don't know how they usually they announce a game and then and then release it like a couple months later, right? So I'm assuming that it's going to be released 2024. Well, all GTA's have had two years exactly after announcement. Yeah, I looked my spot. Yeah. Yeah. They delayed GTA 5 by a couple months, but it was okay. Yeah, they so for with like two years to your two years two years and GTA I think for that probably makes sense because it also gives you some room to sort of identify where you are. Also, if you look at the alphas, dude, they're not very good. So we're seeing footage that I assume is somewhat current when people leak it. Yeah, that's got a long ways to go and a long ways in Rockstar terms, of course, is different than everybody else, but they could do it at the end of 2024. But I think more like or sorry, starting in 2025, the end of 2024, but I think it'll be probably end of 2025 or 2026. How Red Dead was released a couple months after, right? Right. A couple months after what? The announcement. Yeah, see that one I didn't track because Red Dead was, Red Dead was leaked many years prior. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. I mean, we've all we and we knew just we know about GTA 6 until today. They didn't announce it, but we knew it was being made too. So it is. And we knew GTA 4 was being made. I'm thinking of the deep dive trailers, you know, when they when they like when they released the Red Dead deep dive. Yeah. When they did like the 20 minute or 30 minute, like this is the game mechanics this way, you'd be that that was close to release. So maybe maybe they did like a teaser way before for sure. I mean, I'm excited whenever it could come out tomorrow and I would play it, it come out in two years and I could play it come out four years and I play it. I do also think that they've talked about not punching down in humor and all that stuff, which I think is really weird because that's sort of that's sort of what it's known for and why I think a lot of people there's a little bit of like cathartic kind of, you know, just like some of the stuff you would never say, but these characters say and so you find it funny like a comedian who's edgy or what we know for sure. Yeah, so I want to see how they're going to handle that how they're going to handle characterization of those two characters. Sicilian Gamer, $5 Super Chat thoughts on Boogie documentary. He spent $200 on prostitutes instead of his mortgage. Oh, God. What is Boogie? Boogie has been on a spiral since who's for a while now. Is Boogie the fat guy? He's heavyset and he did a lot of Xbox stuff. He did. I think he had like he was one guy from Xbox come over. Yeah. It was known for his like character that likes to drink a lot of I think Mountain Dew as you drink Mountain Dew. Francis. Francis. Flipping up the table thing. That shit, that shit. But then he went into like this whole rabbit hole of depression and I don't know. I think he's mentally unwell or something. So yeah, I don't know what's going on with that. Yeah. I personally would just say I don't like documentaries on people anyway, like everybody's personal life like everybody loves to pretend they're perfect in the real world. No one is. For sure. Never met anybody in my life and I mean that's what I did for you. Instagram filters. Instagram filter of life, right? So it's like I just don't care and I would never watch it like. You know there are like full on studios that would that would like that's where like there's full on studios and I know that like some of my some I have like friends who are Instagram like you know e -girls and shit and they tell me like they take they take a picture in Instagram like they're on they're in a private jet or like on the boat with that's all fake. Yeah, it's all that's all fake. Yeah. Yeah, it's all fake. It's it's yeah. Yeah here there's a guy who rents out his jet for Instagram models. So he'll rent out the jet. Yeah, they're coming to the tarmac take photos. Yeah. Yeah, and literally literally there's there's a lot of a lot of jet owners or speedboat owners or boats or yachts or whatever they say people just want to go there take videos with them. Like like fucking opening champagne and shit and ruining dirtying up their whole oh God the world. Yeah, I hate it. Number one says Red Dead 2 reveal was also two years prior to release. So yeah, you were probably thinking of those deep dives. I don't track that too much. I only do with GTA.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from Cardano Summit Was Embarrassing Full Recap_01
"All right, so you guys asked for continued updates on a lot of these projects out there. Cardano is one that we're going to be doing today on their full summit and a breakdown of everything Charles was releasing, give you guys a full array of clips, much like what we did for the Breakpoint deal for sure. We'll just get started. I think you guys are going to love it. My name is Paul Baron. We'll come back in the Tech Path. All right, let's start off with a tweet. This came over from our friends at Digital Asset News for Ghostchain. They sure can throw a party. And of course, right there it is, man. If you look at what's happening at the summit, I've got some photos. One thing is for sure, this is a fantastic location. I love that over the water. Look at the size of this audience right here. These guys really did a good job there. Not bad. There's a lot of people there too. So very, very interesting to watch, you know, in the sense of seeing the clips kind of come together. Just to give you guys an update where Cardano has been here recently, this is the one -month chart right now, 35 % up on the one -month chart. Now, I want to get in on this first clip. This is Charles talking a little bit over about what has been going on over the past seven years. Let's jump to that clip. Welcome to Dubai. Oh, come on, that's not passionate. We had a great vision. We had kind of three principles here. Scalability. We cared a lot about it. Second, we had this concept of governance. And the third idea was interoperability. So if you think about what we've achieved over the last seven years, all these billions of transactions, millions of currencies, NFTs and other things issued on chain, hundreds of dapps, we have all these cool things that are either being incubated or already reached main net. So there's people from the Hydra project here to allow us to scale. We have roll -ups, all kinds of cool zero -knowledge structures, things like that. And when you look at this whole thing, you say to yourself, over the coming months and years, we're going to be all right, we're going to be okay. All right, so I want to jump to this next clip. This kind of jumps into a little bit about Hydra itself because he was kind of focusing in on that one. Let's take a look. There are a few people over the internets who are claiming that there's a great degree of dishonesty for myself in particular, but others in our organization about the throughput of Hydra. Three years have passed. We've all learned lots of things. So what does a thousand TPS mean? Would make sense in a video game. It would make sense in micro tipping. It makes sense for a variety of off -chain applications, but that's not where Cardano's at. So what happened over a three -year period is that Hydra pivoted a little bit and it pivoted into let's build some middleware. People kept trying to advertise in 2000, we have this many TPS and we have this many TPS. What we were trying to say is that's not how these systems work in practice, but we're also looking at roll -ups as an ecosystem, sidechains as an ecosystem, and yes, evolutions of Hydra because you don't have a channel that's running, I guess, spam transactions a thousand per second. Obviously, that's a failed project. Okay. Well, who needs that? Where's that going to come from? What use case is currently in the system that requires that level of throughput? So when people run around and say Hydra has failed, we lied about Hydra, there's no way to achieve any of these performance claims that are said, well, then what they're really doing is they're taking the hard work of dozens of people and everybody building on it and they're saying it just doesn't exist. There are almost 200 papers behind Cardano, a massive ecosystem of researchers and engineers. Were they all just wasting their time? Were all of them just doing nothing? Bitcoin would die to have what we have. And frankly, Ethereum is chasing it and they can't get there because of poor design decisions with the EVM and the account model. It's very easy through sidechains for us to borrow what they have. It's a lot harder for them to get what we have. Again, TPS, yes, I believe it does matter. It's going to be the ultimate game, I think, across all blockchain because at some point we are going to get into a scenario where transactions per second will be the most critical asset that any chain is going to represent. And we've already seen some scenarios of other chains out there that have been able to accelerate past that significant. I don't know if I would consider Hydra a failure, but would you? Would you look at Hydra and say, okay, it just isn't where they thought it was going to go. They talked about it. It did have to change. I'd love to get you guys' feedback. Let's go into this next clip, which is more around the governance of Cardano. Listen in. This year, a huge amount has been done with SIP 1694. It'll get done in one way or another. Might not look exactly the way that everybody thought. Might look that way. The point is that just like scalability, it's no longer a question of can we do this. We'll figure out a way to get good on -chain governance. Turns out that the things around cryptocurrencies are incredibly hard. There's a lot of moving pieces to them. And they're talking a lot about the roadmap of Cardano. So things like the budget, what ought we spend money on to be approved by the government of Cardano? If you want to speed it up, are you okay with spending another $10 million? Maybe five, two and a half, split the difference. Y 'all want Circle support, maybe we pay them. There's lots of stuff there, a lot of moving pieces there. It's complicated stuff. This is Cardano. This is one of the OGs in terms of the crypto space. In fact, probably should be one of the most advanced chains out there overall in terms of collaborations, partnerships. All those things should be well on their way, much like what we've seen with some of these younger chains. If you look at Solana or even Avalanche, both of which have been able to accelerate in their respective areas of interest, I should say. And then obviously the growth of Ethereum, it's not even a comparison. But I think the key here is you have to achieve it and you do have to integrate these kinds of collabs and or these integrations where this stuff starts to expand. And it does get the community on board. I think people would jump on board and maybe I'm wrong on that. Let me know if you guys think that. There's another clip out here that I want to go to. This is a Twitter space example of the community itself and what they were thinking about the current state of Cardano. Listen in. One thing inherently has been a curse for Cardano is our marketing capabilities. Like they're not interested in coming over here because every time I look on my Twitter feed, I see you shooting shots at somebody, so I'm like, goddamn, how is this supposed to work? Well, you know, I feel your pain, man. I really do. And then to have people say we're just a wallet and just to babble like incoherent idiots on Twitter and these other places and reduce it to like a Cardano versus Ethereum, dude, we're not competing with Ethereum. We're not competing with any of these things. We changed the entire game. Cardano is playing a completely different game. All right. So again, back to Charles, I would love to learn what the game is that they are playing because I feel like that most of the initiatives out there within blockchain are fairly clear. Yes, there's been a lot of things that Cardano has put out there that they've been able to achieve to a certain level, but there's also been a lot that they have not been able to get to. So it's kind of an interesting situation. And they're a community member kind of talking about we need to kind of ramp up the front facing side of Cardano. This next clip goes into interoperability. This seems to be one of the biggest things. But back to that clip was that they are. There's also always so much, I would say, discussion coming from Charles, in many cases knocking these other chains. I'm kind of curious if interoperability is impossible. Listen in. And this is really the core of what I'm talking about today is this idea of interoperability. This is something we don't talk too much about and we ought to. Interoperability is the difference between living on an island and living in a world. Interoperability is the difference between your software working and your software not working. We said, hey, this is a problem. We need to solve that. So we saved the best for last. Now let's solve interoperability. Let's teach the rest of the space how to do that well. What else did we do? We looked at Cosmos. We had a whole team of people doing diligence there. And we said, you know, if we take all these guys here, these things, Fabric, Mamba, the EVM stuff, the Yella stuff, if we really squint our eyes and think deeply about it, maybe just maybe we start pulling some things together. And you know what I said? It would be really cool to have a flagship product, something very special and very unique to showcase the power of that type of system. And we call it midnight.
Game of Crimes
A highlight from 123: Part 1: Rikk Rambo Survives Two Shootings, An Assassination Attempt, and an 800-Pound Grizzly
"We have an emergency. We have a national tragedy. Murph is cold. I am. Send help. Send a fire. I don't know. Send a parka. I don't know. You couldn't have gone any farther, at least staying in North America, you couldn't have gone any farther from Florida than, well, you could have, you could have gone farther into Northern Canada, but you're in Vancouver, British Columbia this week. Yeah, buddy. I love coming up here. We've made several trips up here and we're doing a thing with the Vancouver police today and tomorrow. But man, we joke around how nice Canadians are. They are. I mean, it's just, it's unbelievable. And the cops here, just like cops in the US, the brotherhood and sisterhood is strong. Yeah. Well, guys don't know this. Murph got mugged last night and even the robber apologized for mugging him. They hate to do this. They say, you know, sorry, but I need some money. Okay. Sorry to take your money, please. Sorry to take your money. Then he goes to a restaurant and gets thrown out by the new squad that the Victoria police have up there. Oh man, I love this. They've got a restaurant squad. And so they sign on. It's not a restaurant squad that goes around and eating everybody's food, right? Oh no. Oh no. They're there to enforce. So all the restaurants are on board with this. And what it does is it allows the police to come in anytime they choose to just see if there's any riffraff, if there's any problems. And if they are, you know, like known gang members or motorcycle gang people, whoever, they can escort them out of the building. And they say, it's funny, cause it's been going, I think for several years now. And they said it's become so popular that when the known criminals are in there and they see the uniforms come walking in, they start shoveling the food in their mouth real quick because they know they're getting ready to get run out. I love it. I don't think we'd ever get away with it in the US, but I love it. And you were talking too, looking out your window, you know, as you're wrapped up in your four wool blankets, you know, and drinking hot coffee, you got sea planes, you got water planes taken off out there. Man, we're at this beautiful hotel, the Pinnacle Hotel right on Vancouver Harbor. And there's, there's a group of about, I think I counted 10 this morning when I got up there, the sea planes there go to the smaller communities around here that don't have runways. And so you see them all day long, landing, taking off right out of the Harbor. Vancouver's a very, very nice place. I've been up there before too. I've been on Vancouver and Victoria and Victoria Island and just, I mean, just beautiful area up there. So, but hey, well, we digressed a little bit there, so we thought we might hop into it. So, hey guys, welcome back again. Hey, this is going to be a unique episode too for a couple of reasons. I'll tell you about that in just a second. First of all, thank you guys for joining us. Once again, let's just do a quick bit of housekeeping. Hit Apple, Spotify, hit those five stars. It helps us out a lot. In fact, on Spotify, you can actually leave comments on the episode. So if you've got any comments for that episode, let us know about that. Also head on over to our website, game of crimes, podcast .com. You're going to want to go to the website for this episode because we're going to share a couple of pictures and we're going to wait till the second part of it. Wait till you, you'll hear you wait till you see the end of the episode. And by the way, too, Murph, I don't know if you saw this, I got to post Jim Lawler's picture. Jim just sent his golden eye picture. He is sitting on 1 billion folks, $1 billion worth of gold buried deep in the Swiss Alps somewhere.
The Bad Crypto Podcast
A highlight from SBF Guilty!
"7 guilty verdicts for Sam Bankman -Fried, Bitcoin ETFs in the future and a happy recovery in crypto prices are all providing the blockchain world with much to discuss. After a couple weeks off, we're back to do the thing we do where we look at top stories and say whatever our brains tell us to say and it'll be super interesting because by the way, Travis is transitioning. More about that in this show. There's no filter, just badness and banter about what's been going on in the crypto world and in our world on this bad news, episode number 701 of the Bad Crypto Podcast. Hey, welcome back to the Bad Crypto Podcast, the show for the crypto curious and the crypto serious. Joel come here. Travis right there. Still your Sir Lords and with you from Puerto Rico, the beautiful island in the Caribbean. How you doing? Doing great. Nice to see you again. Good, sir. You as well. We had a couple weeks off and people are like, are you guys done doing the show? We hit 700 and we're like, done. No, actually we hit that 700th episode and then we were waiting for SBF to get seven indictments and then so he did and then we're like, okay, we can do the show again now that he is going to prison for a long time. Seven the number of perfection. We'll tell you more about what's been going on in our world. But first let's get to the news and tell you what's going on in the crypto world. Timestamp November the 4th, 2023 to 14 p .m. in the afternoon here in Puerto Rico. I know this show is coming out on Sunday, so it might be a little delayed on what you're going to hear here as far as the prices go. But the crypto market cap, according to CoinGecko, is currently $1 .34 trillion Bitcoin, thirty four thousand seven seventy Ethereum eighteen hundred thirty eight dollars BNB two thirty seven XRP sixty one cents Solana forty one dollars. Damn. Why did I sell mine? Cardano thirty two cents and Dogecoin almost at seven cents. The crypto markets have taken a bounce back. Sir Lord Travis, you know what? And one of the things that I am transitioning is I'm selling my home and moving back to the States. And this home is the selling process is taking forever, dude, but I wanted to start selling it. Bitcoin was like at sixteen eight when I decided to sell it in in January. I was like, dude, I thought this house was going to sell quickly. And I was like, I want to get some of that sixteen seventeen thousand dollar Bitcoin might sell us some bitch and then process and this and that in Puerto Rico. And now Bitcoin is freaking thirty, almost thirty five thousand dollars, dude. Like I missed out on doubling of my money right there, which sucks about that. There are. So I just I just want you all know, I want crypto to do I want Bitcoin to go down like about ten grand. I want to I'd like to see twenty five K again so I could snag more of that. I'm sorry to interrupt this show, this broadcast to slap Travis Rice in the head. Yeah, because the rest of us, I mean, yes, I want you to have cheap Bitcoin. But, you know, if this is just the beginning of a bull run, that means that there are lots of opportunities. Remember, our previous high was sixty nine thousand. And most people are expecting us to blow by into six figures this time around. And so we can analyze, you know, what's happening in that world and all of what's driving it. I thought maybe we take a look and just see who are the big winners right now. We mix. Don't know what it is, but it's up 66 percent this week. Well, that's what that's what a deejay does whenever they have a list. They do a we mix. Yeah, we. Yeah.
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus
"Welcome to Gospel in Life. For many of us, trusting Jesus with our lives is challenging. How can we trust Him in light of so much suffering and pain? How can we know He is the one who will make things right, both in our lives and in the world? Today on Gospel in Life, Tim Keller continues looking at the Gospels to show us who the The passage on which the teaching is taken this morning is printed in your bulletin. Matthew chapter 3 verse 13 through chapter 4 verse 11. We're looking at the life of Jesus in a series. We're looking at not so much the teaching of Jesus, but the events in the life of Jesus. And today we come to the narrative, the description of His baptism and His temptation. Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter Him saying, I need to be baptized by you and do you come to me? Jesus replied, let it be so now. It is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness. Then John consented, and as soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that moment, heaven was opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, this is my Son, whom I love. With Him, I am well pleased. Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, He was hungry. The tempter came to Him and said, if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. Jesus answered, it is written, man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on the highest point of the temple. If you are the Son of God, He said, throw yourself down, for it is written, He will command His angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. Jesus answered Him, it is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test. Again the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you, He said, if you will bow down and worship me. Jesus said to Him, away from me, Satan, for it is written, worship the Lord your God and serve Him only. Then the devil left Him and angels came and attended Him. This is God's word. My, my. What's the principle here? You know this is very important. Only two of the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, in only two of the four gospels do you even have the birth narratives of Jesus. You know, Mark and John leave it out. They don't say anything about the birth of Jesus. But every gospel talks about the baptism of Jesus. And in this passage we see an extremely important overarching principle. What is it? It's all bound up in this little word, then. You see it in the beginning of chapter four verse one, then. There's spirit baptism, then there's spiritual battle. There's a voice from heaven. Then, then there's a voice from hell. Voice from heaven only spoke once. The voice from hell keeps on going and going and going. First there's comfort, then there's conflict. First there's joy. First there's strength, then there's weakness. First and here's the irony of it, you see, first there's water, then there's desert. First there's a fusion, there's refreshment, then there's parched. Then there's dry. Then there's cracked. But what does the word then mean? Is it just the way it happened? You know, some things just happened. This happened, you know, Dan Rather always says, now this. Now this. In other words, what happened? You know, now this. The commercial really has nothing to do with what I just told you. I mean, you know, things have to come in some order. Now this. Is that it? Baptism? Now this. Temptation? Or does it mean therefore? Does it mean not now this, but thus? And the reason it does mean thus, the reason I'm going to push it on you, is because what is it that leads him into the desert? What leads him into the weakness? What leads him into the hands of the devil? The thing that came down on him, the one that came down on him in the baptism. The spirit came down and is the author of all of this comfort and water, and then it's the spirit that drives him out. The same spirit. Jesus was led by the spirit. And here's the principle. Spiritual baptism, therefore spiritual battle. Comfort, power, love, therefore, stress, conflict, temptation, therefore, heaven, therefore, the voice of hell. Here, can you imagine a person, well no, think of it this way. Imagine yourself, imagine that you get to the place where you're so filled by the spirit and you're so led by the spirit that you are absolutely pleasing to God. Imagine you could get yourself into that condition where you are absolutely and totally pleasing to God. How would your life go? That's what I want to know. Now, I'm pushing you on this because when troubles begin to happen to you, and conflicts begin to happen to you, and difficulties begin to happen to you, what do you almost immediately assume? Well, you know, in The Sound of Music, which of course Christopher Plummer called The Sound of Mucus, he didn't like it. In The Sound of Music, you know that one strange song where she says, you know, why is my life going so well? Why are good things happening to me? Remember that? She says, somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good. And of course that's the first thing that happened. My life is going very well. My life is going better than other people. I must be better than other people. My life is going better, I must be better. My life is going worse, I must be worse. But here we have the exact opposite that says the better your life. There was one person who was utterly led by the spirit and who was completely pleasing to God. How did his life go? What were the results? Do you see what happens? The more God pours his strength and his peace into your life, the more conflict and temptation and strife there will be. And, let me put it to you in another way, if your life is absolutely spiritually tranquil, if it's comfortable, if there is no conflict inside, there is no conflict outside, it's because you're not led by the spirit. You're not attempting great things for God, you're not even attempting to be pleasing to God. Anybody who says, I'm going to please God, I'm going to give my God pleasure, I'm going to give him every bit of pleasure I possibly can, you will experience conflict. Inside, you will feel pressure and temptations in your heart you never felt before. Outside, you will experience opposition. This is the principle. I don't know why I got to the last point so quickly. You see, the baptism and the temptation are never separated. In fact, Mark goes so far as to say immediately, he uses the word immediately, it says, the spirit came down and he heard the voice, this is my son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased. And Mark says, and immediately, to make sure we don't miss the fact that the then is a thus. Christianity is a fight. Listen, one of the things I better say here before we break this down a little bit is a lot of people who are in this room every week are thinking about Christianity, you're exploring Christianity, you're looking at Christianity, you're wondering about Christianity, and today, some of you are saying, you are a lousy salesman. And I don't think, I sure hope salesman is not the right word, but if I am a salesman, I hope today you'll see that I'm being a truthful salesman. Anyone who offers you a Christianity without tears is not giving you good money, it's counterfeit. And anybody who says, if you receive the baptism of the spirit, your problems are over. If you receive the voice of assurance down on your heart, if you receive the sense that God is pleased with you, that's the end of conflict, that's the end of strife, that's the end of temptation, that person is not offering you the real thing. Christianity, true Christianity, is a fight. Now, there's three things we learn about the fight right here, and those three things are, who's the enemy, where's the front, and what are the weapons? I mean, if you're going to have a fight, you know, if you're going to have a battle, who's the enemy, you need to know that, where's the front, and if you mistake a rear guard action for the front, and if you mistake the front for rear guard action, you lose. And lastly, what are the weapons? Now they're all in here, and there's too much, but let me at least give you some ideas about what it teaches. First of all, who's the enemy? Satan. Now, let me state it, and then let me deal with the questions that immediately arise. This text teaches, in fact the Bible teaches this, that when you look out into the world and you see any progress of the kingdom of God, any progress of the kingdom of love, grace, love and grace and peace, there is another kingdom out there. There is opposing forces. There's also a kingdom of not love and grace and peace, but of pride, of hate and fear. And the forces of pride, hate and fear in the world are enormously powerful. Who's going to deny that? And they are incredibly complex. Who's going to deny that? But the Bible says one thing that a lot of people don't believe today, that they are enormously powerful and that they are enormously complex because at the bottom, they are intelligent. At the bottom of evil, there is an intelligence. And the Bible says, and New Yorker, nobody, no one in New York, you can call a New Yorker stupid, you know, wicked, you know, fool, call him anything, oh well, but you call him naive and they get very upset. I'm a New Yorker, I'm not naive, I am sophisticated. Let me just suggest, the Bible says, if you think all that was behind the holocaust was Hitler, if you think all that was behind slavery was economics and even racism, if you think that all that's behind your addiction right now is poor parenting, you are naive. There's more to it than that. There's an intelligence. There's the devil and there's demonic forces. Now, I'm just going to speak up for it. The Bible teaches that, that you're naive if you don't believe in them. Now, I have to have a couple seconds here on this. Right away, objection, people are going to say this is ludicrous and a lot of you have to feel that way, you have to. You're smart people, you live today, you're educated people, you're going to imbibe the educated culture, you're going to say this is ludicrous. Of course, the Bible talks about demons and demon possession, but that's because in those days people didn't understand the etiology, the genesis of sickness or mental illness because they didn't understand sickness or mental illness, they chalked it up to demons. We know better today. We don't believe in that anymore. My suggestion to you is it's naive and superficial to write off the devil. Let me give you a couple of reasons. Logically, it's superficial to write off the devil. If you believe in God at all, and an awful lot of people do, do you believe in God? Do you believe there's a personal supernatural good? I mean, not just supernatural good, but a personal supernatural good being. Do you believe that? Then let me ask you, what in the world would be logical about saying there couldn't be, there isn't, a personal supernatural evil being? That's arbitrary to say, well, I believe in supernatural personal good, but not personal evil. Logically, it doesn't fit up. Let me go empirically. Look out in the world. Look out at the newspaper. Look out at history. And let me ask you, is there more evidence for personal supernatural good beings or bad? And when you look at the atrocities, just yesterday, the front page of the New York Times, I don't want to pick out any one part of the world and make people think that one part's worse than another. Just the New York Times said everybody's afraid that there's soon going to be more atrocities, more genocide in a particular country. It happens all the time. It happens all the time. The rivers run with blood. And then you pick up the paper and you just read about something that a parent did to a little kid in Queens or Brooklyn or Bronx or Manhattan or Staten Island.
Love Island: The Morning After
"island" Discussed on Love Island: The Morning After

"It's been a while since you played this so I thought it was about time we brought back. Red flag green flag. Right. Shane, the rules are simple. I'm gonna read out some scenarios from last night's episode, and I want you to tell me where you think it's a red flag or a green flag and why. Okay, cool. Are you ready? Hit me. Right, first up, Tanya asking Shaq to apologize to Tom for taking things too far the other night. Green flag. I agree. Green flag. She told him what to do. It was the right thing. She kind of put him in his place and let him know took it too far. And that's a good, that's a good sign from her, because usually some guys just let it lie. And she was soft with it. She was like, I'm going to apologize now. Yeah, exactly. It's very like, you know, babe, I think this is what you should do. Yeah, she did it well. Yeah, she did. Right, next up, we've got Kai wearing leopard print boxers and an orange jump part when sanam was wearing her sexiest underwear. Green flag. Kind of a green flag? Funny, right? Yeah. And it's like, they're cute, man. And it's like they didn't try too hard and they still had a really good time, and she was, she was like, okay. That's too good. I feel like guys don't really have much choice when it comes to being. What are you going to do? Oil yourself up. That's a bit crazy. Oh my God, that's awful. Yeah, so it's like, you know what, go for the city side. I agree completely. Go and enjoy yourself. Also, as nerve wracking, probably see a lot going on. Let's just wear it. Have fun. Right, next, we've got Jesse hinting to will that she wants to be his girlfriend. Oh. Oh, I'm gonna go. What kind of makes green and red when you mix them together? You have an orange. You can't make green. Amber. Are you coming green? No. It's not a primary color. Yes, you can. No, you can't. It's a it's a good debating yourself. You can't make cream. But no, I'm saying what kind of makes green. Because it's traffic light. It's an amber flag. Oh. Why? I feel like. You got to put the feelers out there. You kind of have to see what's going on. You know, you want to you want to see, are you in the same place? Am I going to get that? Yes, that's nice. How did she hit? It was like, she said it. And then it was like another and she was like, so you are. And it was like, oh, okay, we've already serious, and then we'll just kind of panicked a little bit. I think she didn't quite get it right. But in the action, yeah, man ask. Don't ask, don't get. Yeah, you don't know if you don't get sometimes just like, okay, today's video, my boyfriend, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think it's that. I think again, it's all about delivery. Absolutely. But I do think it's a green flag in just asking for where we are. What's going on? Because I think it's very important to be on the same page. And to know what you're heading to, because if we're not about to be in relationship, I'm off. Yeah, bye, you know? Yeah. Cool. Next we've got handcuffing yourself to one another. Bold. That's a green neon green flat. I don't know if you need both hands. No, but you've got one hand. One hand, yeah. And then one hand. This hand's free to do whatever. Yeah, just think that I think it's going to be impractical. Like the idea. It's like a hurdle, you've got to get through, you know? A little bit. Like an escape room. Yeah. Yes, kind of. Okay, next up, we have will and Casey lying on the sun loungers and slapping their bodies. Love it. Good old fun. Don't you dare do this to you? We've been so in sync. I know, but I think that's a bit of a red flag. Really? I mean, he is so childish. I think it's funny. They're not taking themselves too seriously. And in that place, in the villa, you can not take yourself too seriously. Sam would like that because he likes making his own fun. So that's right up here. These are serious slapping as well. I do it all the time. I do it all the time. So I'm on board with it. Cool. Next, we've got Tanya asking Shaq to suck come on, Sam. No, we had this conversation when we watched it last night. Sam doesn't suck toe. I'm so disappointed. Yeah. He has. He did it in the villa as well. You're crazy. He puts my whole foot in his mouth. Corny feet. I got nice toes. Right now, I've got some black gel polish on to match my fingernails and make sorry, but your feet get sweaty and I don't have a foot. I don't bi like feet, right? But like I wouldn't feel right putting my toe in Zara's mouth. I'd be so sorry. She's got gamete feet as is. That is the worst word. You know when someone's second toe is bigger than their big time. It's insane. Okay, it's okay. Don't worry. What do you think Chen is? For me, red. Yeah, I'm not like, that's a bit that's a bit too far. I don't know. I'm still red flag. And there we have it. That is the end of red flag, green flag, and unfortunately the end of the pod. Shayna, thank you so much for joining us. It's been an absolute pleasure having you on. We had a good chat. It's been so much fun. Thank you for having me. You guys are great. It's been great. It's been so much fun. You got a nice trio going on. It's good. Good stuff. Shane, I love you. I love you too, Sam. Orange jumper. Thank you. Now everyone now knows I look like a traffic coach. Sam decided to dress up as a tangerine today. Yay. Call it tangerine dream. And there we go. Another day, another love island ebb. And another debrief from the pod India, thank you as ever for being the best work wife I could ever ask for. Oh, the pleasure is all mine. Willing Cass will be here on Monday morning, dissecting the latest tea from the villa, and we'll be back on Tuesday, ready to chat about the final week of love island. Oh no, I can't believe with this close to the end. We might need some tissues next week because I think it's going to get pretty emotional. I want to see Sam, I've got you covered because I'm going to be in floods. Love island the morning after is produced by listen for ITV, have a lovely weekend and we're going to see you next week.

"Okay do you think. Do you think that scarlett johansson character jordan never met prime just clone. Do you think that she ever struggled with the you know guilt or weight of not giving her life so killed somebody her. Yes she kills somebody and do you think she's going to go. Reset child was such a like. That was really sad when the little boy says mommy is that you i was like ooh. That's heartbreaking like. That's like that's when you start the consequences of of james caan our scarlett johansson that we're following to just survive and to be free and to have free will and all of that but also recognizing that what that means is the does oregon's you know what did they give scarlett forty eight hours or something like that. So if the organs weren't implanted in forty eight hours and they speak to its culture. Instances that woman's gonna die. You know or something. Like i think you know that whatever and it but that's you know it's there. The movie is interesting kind of moral story. It's just michael. Bay is like yeah but also trucks flipping over and fans chopping everything. Let's add a little bit of dino. That michael bay calls his action bay. Hem bayan bethlehem like mayhem but michael bay style. Non china michael bay. They were saying. Like i can't remember the movie that was going on at the same time. This is also from the directors come interior Track review like that michael bay. He's i i was looking at. I was looking at this other movie. They're doing six or seven shots a day. I'm doing thirty or forty like she's like shooting. Forty shots a day and said that sometimes the camera moves are so quick that he gives his crew less than five minutes to set up a shot which is like that. It seems like it's even shot in a way it's shot in a running gun indie way but you know with the most expensive and i think he also has like nine cameras on everything so he's getting small pieces but it's like he's getting so much of it and it's just like an assembly of like chopped up bits of movie. I did a commercial with an actor who is in bad boys two and it was a chase over a bridge. It's a big seen bad boys two And he is part of the the fbi team and So he gets there onset and he's in this truck and There's a camera in front of him in the truck and he has a gun that he's got shoot out the window and he's like oh how are we gonna do it. And michael said you're going to drive the truck. Shoot that gun out the window and you're gonna slate yourself. What was like. Well wait. I don't know how to do any of that stuff he's like. Don't worry i have stunt drivers void you so like don't worry about it and this guy was the most stressful situation. He's ever been in in his life. Because you have to like shoot a gun. That has recoil. You are trying to drive a truck as things are burning and flipping by you. And and he said they needed the first take. Michael bay came down and went right up to his truck because all the trucks had every truck had a you know everybody in this chase had their own private camera. And because what the fuck are you doing man. You look scared a shit out. He's fire you right now. he's like. Don't be scared you do this. All the time and scare this look scared. Looks pretty good. that's amazing. I love that magic doing that like an apparently he's created a special new this but i guess the movie that he created it on a special car cam that like you could drive into other cars without killing. The stunt driver is a. It's a special camera that you can basically drive into other things. It doesn't hurt the driver or the camera. Yeah so he's pretty. It's pretty insane. Oh my god we know what. We obviously have an opinion about this movie. And i would say that opinions fairly mixed but there are other people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second. Opinions was a piece shit. This person recommend. Tell me we'll see maybe is j. up in jason.

I don't never wanna see her. You know what i like. Face her injury. What would it be. What would you. What seems annoying like her. She knew what you would like to others like. I just don't i i. I know what you mean. And i i wanna meet me because i think it'll be easier to make tik toks. You know where. I talked to myself. I don't have to like change wardrobe and then change the camera angle. See pitching multiplicity. You just want more of us to help you a you. That's a crew. Which by the way just people know because we've got a lot of suggestions of movies. Do we pulled audible on multiplicity. Only because i think it's fair to say we all were kind of enjoying it so we were watching it all. We were all watching it last night and and texted to say like this. I waited. They have too much to talk about. This is enjoyable. Levy performance john delancey. I mean it's a it's a killer cast of people that you love and funding during pretty good work So so we switched to the island. Which i'm very grateful for because this. This was way more fun to watch but i know what you mean june in the sense that like one of the things i liked in the movie was when you and mcgregor clone fines. Ewan mcgregor the host. The pri- mcgregor they make you and mcgregor kind of a piece of shit. We light and like. I feel like i feel like that's a michael bay move is like let's make him a piece of shit like because normally i feel like the un mcgregor prime would be like become then the human hero us. I'm gonna help. And instead for him to betray them. I thought was actually pretty cool. The the dirtbag. Steve boo chamisa guard dirtbag character. He's the one who actually helps. But i think it was interesting. That the ways that they set him up to be bad he has a liver disease from fucking too much. He loves reading maxim magazine. But also one of my favorite thing looking at scarlett johansson treating her like salaciously. It is i mean he gets so upset when they have a connection. clone mcgregor and and clone johnson. There's a moment where he's the real. Prime mcgregor is such a bad bad actor. He's like you know it's like that that whole scene was like you know and when i just i went to the store to get bananas. That's that's what i was doing. I was at the store bananas. He does that like twice in one thing and then he does another yes. I would like to talk to somebody here because my insurance.

"There is a lot of. I mean i will say this. There is a lot of good stuff in this movie. Like ultimately like the core of this movie is interesting. It just feels bloated in every possible way. No i i agree. I mean in some ways. Had i have to be honest in some ways. This was my favorite clone movie interesting. Yeah because i thought if posed questions that were actually valid unlike. Oh ya what having to think about organ donation and fertility and all of that stuff like that was in really interesting to me and about cloning and that way but there is about an extra hour on it. Yes there was that could have been cut literally from all the chase sequences. There's just too much chasing too much running too much chasing. It's as if we were in the island because the way that they do the setup of the twists that they're not going to an island like we were brought in under a false pretense as well. And i don't necessarily worked or did anything for me because as an audience member. I'm not excited about these people going to the island because then it seems like there's no movie like what you know what's interesting. I notice. I thought when i thought the reveal was was that they're not going to the island. They're already at the island and the island is just the lab and the research facility. There is no like yeah vacation like you live your best life island. It's not that i felt like. Oh when they when they came up to the quote unquote real world. I was like oh. They're about to find out there already on the island. It's just the island is like the the villains layer essentially the bond riley. Sean bean is like a bond villain and his island is where he makes these clones. But that wasn't the case. So i agree. The island is so misleading. And it's such a powerful and Important kind of aspirational element to the characters. In the movie. That i was like oh i had to be like right right right. There is no island. The island doesn't the island is mythology that they are giving the clones. It's not it's not based on any reality inside the real world which is a hard pill to swallow cher when the movie is called the island. Yeah because i'm right cleaning quickly. Yeah yeah i mean michael. I wanted to kala some good performances. And i mentioned minority. Michael clarke duncan playing. Happy and excitable was one of my phone. I wouldn't joyous joyous performance by this man. Yeah oh as wa equally when he is when he awakens during his surgery panics and runs through the hospital facility with his with his chest open. I thought that was a great performance as well and really both really heartbreaking but also like in that way that michael bay just had. His sense of humor is tied to all of the wrong things like a michael. Clarke duncan awakening during surgery having a complete existence crisis than running through the halls. But like in a way that is almost like three stooges comedy happening as well I was like oh. This is a michael bay movie it is. He will put jokes in the emotional beats and he'll attempt in sure so true emphasis on the wrong allowable always wrong. It's always like raw. I will say that like you wanted to romantic moment between scarlett johansson and and you mcgregor at that point when they do kiss and it is a quickly deflated by that tongue. Line in in a moment. That i kind of like it but i'm also like i think just undercut this like you undercut this moment like the that but that's the thing is like what's so interesting is they. Don't normally they only a few times. Have that degree of naive. Like are like you described earlier in this moment here but that could have been part of the whole movie. You could have been like. They are out fish out of water everywhere. They don't know how the world war. I would've hitched okay. I didn't wanna talk about this. The reason i picked this movie is because i am working on an hbo max series. It is a smart enough of this. It's a single cam comedy about two clones and we're going to explore this. This is the thing. I need to get out in front of it right now. Yeah i am doing. It's called the island again again. We were having trouble but we wanted to get that. Ip we need that it doesn't take place on an island but it is. It's gonna be all the kind of fish out of water fun funny more funny things. Like how do they work a coffeemaker. They have a landlord. Who's nosy we're worrying. What do you know you know. 'cause i'm also i'm working on a show right now we roll it well. It's a little bit similar. But mine's a reality show. Okay cool yeah. Wait like sexy clone island. Oh wow all right. I liked them and everybody. The contestants all show up to an island and when they don't know is sexy clones have been created of all of them and the question is are you going to fall in love with one of the other clones or your own clown like. Do you really love yourself. do you really love you. So it's a journey of self discovery and also finding true love. Okay so this is something that i actually was thinking about and while watching this movie. I don't ever wanna meet.

"Macgregor's carry the gregor's character you mcgregor's host always dreamt of having sex with a woman of scarlet your hanson's character as he just plainly states to him as they confronted each other but what i think so yeah just to get to speak to that for a second so none of the clones at at clone camp can have sex know what sex they have not been told about sex sex is but there are pregnant women there right so that they are breeder i'm assuming that's the sperm and my guess would be that's the spur that is like an embryo from the host The the the the the couple who are the hosts of that clone does that make sense. Okay those are given a baby that woman in that man my assumption would be there. Embryo was implanted into the clone to carry the baby to term safely will because they are exactly the same. I mean when you and mcgregor clone mcgregor By the way. I believe this is the best clone on clone interaction that we've seen in all the films. I agree i really liked. I liked it and he was so good and got so comfortable at it he just. He played twin brothers in fargo season. Three i was like he's done this twice. I feel like he might even done it again. I feel like there's another movement where he plays to people he puts his finger on the The starter of the car. And he's like. Oh my god you got the same fingerprint worth every penny and by the way you mcgregor. The host is just a boat designer like that. He designed designed someone's going to design those boats. I love to like it. So michael beta have like all of the the boat and all of the cars are all like concept things. They're all like future boats and future cars. They're not like it it. It made me laugh so hard every time they were like. Whoa what's this seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar cadillac like his fetishes ation of like gear like that always makes me laugh and then the big swings miss which is like you mcgregor in a phone booth with a wrapping of like like. It's basically the version of like ask jeeves. Awesome all over this. There's an xbox scene s. Microsoft is the product placement in. This movie is massive. Oh it is. I mean there's a moment ago a beauty shot of you. Mcgregor drinking michelob light. Yes like like multi in when it was it was when it was available in like those metal bottles as if oh in the future. Everybody's going to drink beer out of a metal bottle by the way it's twenty nine thousand nine in the movie. There's movie came out in two thousand and five shit has really advanced. Like there's it's part like Like the cities that you might see in star wars. Where you know. There are a lot of flying car. There's a lot of stuff going on above ground to but the these these these jet motorcycles that they ride are that they i. I liked that technology. I mean it's it's it feels like a straight rip from return of the jedi. But i'm also like oh that's kind of just basically a pod race inside. La inside future. La. it's basically the same as again. I was like i pour you and macgregor's in another padres. Now he must be miserable. You and mcgregor said that that doing that stunt sequence did He's thank god. I had two children because they think it was a pretty awful to his his groin. Area and scarlett johansson and gerald johansson in that sequence almost got her face sliced an extra was hit in that sequence. There is a scene in the movie. I re watched last night because it was online than they michael basic. I told the guy. Don't turn around what he do. Turn around and the car hits them and he goes full line and he's fine but they left it in the movie. Michael bay almost was killed during that section to like. There was a lot of danger with a floating motorbike secret. I'm sure they all look back on it and think totally worth it. Totally worth totally. Do we nailed it nailed it. I mean because i think michael bay is known for doing more action stuff. And i think what i liked about this was it was more of a thinking thing it was about. You know who has rights. Why are we testing on this thing about the whole time. Yeah no it's a morality tale. Really what does it mean to be human. You know what is what is the sole who where does it reside. Yeah and i mean you know and you know that to me is always like i like his take on it. I guess take on humanity. Because i do think that he has a good light walls who better to tell that story. Yeah exactly humidity to tell that story like And also like listen are are you in mcgregor and i clear i think clearly i might go up as traders are you in mcgregor and scarlett johansson. Like adam and eve are they. Are they the beginnings of new a new understanding of humanity. You know did are. They created in god's image from the garden of eden underneath the earth. I mean it's also a movie that at the end hazard as like like the the the events that happened in like A looney tunes cartoons or like in every improv scene that heightens to this point which you and mcgregor and the clone ewan mcgregor. Just start saying no. I'm the real tomlin. No real tom. Lincoln and the bad guys are like wait a minute. Oh no how do we tell them apart. And like this is the built all the way to just like like The point in it he was missing was like fake. You mcgregor pulling up a sign that says like not like bugs bunny mask like they needed like yeah. They needed a little eye. Hand handpainted sign. I mean i will also say that this world of the future is so wild. Because i thought you were going to say builds a point where just a giant fan kills the bad guy i like. Where is that giant fans like. It was sort of like. I don't really know what that fan was doing. Exactly what always somehow part of the okay so remember when you mcgregor goes to like the center of the death star yet and he has to be like the power down and like there are so many star wars things in this movie so he goes to that room where there's the glowing things and he's trying to knock it down trying to hit with a pie. These any finally manages to stop the hologram that starts that machine to fall apart in with at which point the fan dislodge is and cuts through the whole building. Fan is dropping from the feeling. Just going through everybody. Buddy scarlett johansson and and mcgregor survive so many abs- not near death experiences absolute death experiences absolutely..

"Day they say at a point that women are breeders and they have children and so when that one woman has a child they kill the woman but keep the child. What is going on there. Like is that event with the baby and they deliver it to that woman's clone host and her husband and say your your healthy baby is here remember. And they're using this. Not just as an insurance policy. But as a fertility horrendous like i think for i think it seems they can do multiple miracles medical rather miraculous things. Here they can you if you need an oregon. You can use an oregon if you want to use. Basically in this instance. It seems as though they were using a clone as a surrogate so that they could still it was the clone with it was the same actress plane the host and the clone. Who's having the baby. we see. No what. I kind of drew a darker comparison there which was that. Maybe there was some sort of accident with that baby. Because if the woman was genetically Incapable to conceive are having problems. I would imagine the clone would have the same problems. I thought that this. Here's the thing people. Because i think this is important. The clients think that what is being grown very quote unquote insurance policies are. They don't think they are walking talking. Thinking feeling conscious legs that are yes clubs and lane by the pool. Everybody holding lions. I'm missing the left to all the clients think is exactly it's like a medical blob like a collection of organs and the things that you would need. But it they can sean. Bean gives a sean bean right. Yeah gives a kind of presentation to new clients. That is like that reinforces again. The movie does you no favours for the first hour. Nobody explains anything. There's there's joe. Finally an hour. In steve shemi gives you one big exposition dump. And there's another one like fifteen minutes later it gives you the has the best death of all time. I mean obviously make obey movie and he falls from. He also falls from a height but he falls into a glass tower of like champagne. Glasses it is a pretty. He falls off of like a glass bar with all of the glasses. Every it was it was pretty great. I like that deaf. Go to visit him in the real world so the basically the clones all live in like a like a secret Clone base like lab in a basement in a in the middle of the desert. Like in the middle of nowhere blah blah blah And you and mcgregor and scarlett johansson manage to so easily escape that it's shocking. They managed you escape that facility. They say they find steve shemi in his in a bar. They make him take them home so he can help them which he does. His house though appears to be some sort of sex dungeon. What was that about. Yeah that was a we love lamp is he's got a lava lamp all creeps his away. This movie felt like it was written by clone because it felt like it had close approximations to what we would see as normal but all slightly off. It felt like this movie had that yeah. It's a microbes eighty acting. Yes i know. It was written by cloth any. We don't know it was. I would believe it. They think that they tried to make steve. You know what we need to make a movie where we're the heroes. Finally you gotta get hollywood. Second so okay. So here's my question and not to jump ahead so but the clones at the very end. What scarlett johansson and you mcgregor ended up doing is turning off like a holographic machine said that the peop- the clones realize they are not there no longer staring out at the island because the picture the island isn't there and they realize they're just in this like giant mechanical structure underground but island is a terrible name for this movie. It's sense but but i guess just confused like in that moment water those clones thinking when they run outside like it felt also like they were forced together so much. Well i think you and mcgregor is like the first domino to fall. They realize okay all these clones may be infected but then they killed them so i guess they didn't. I am convinced they didn't right going in. And then scarlett johansson and giant hunt. Sue come in and save both the people in the death get hose down with the there in some sort of killing chamber but but are rescued from all the and that's only the clones that they're afraid are going to gain consciousness like some whatever it is the epsilon level or. I can't remember what it was. You know they're going regain they're going to gain consciousness. We have to go to limit. Thank you so have to recall those that bad right. And they were only a few. There wasn't a mini three year olds in there but i will say that what they would. Their biggest fear was was to create. More jerry seinfeld's because that sequence with you mcgregor where he sits down chamisa. Who are these people. Why don't i have. These shoes can eat bacon. It was such a weird like weird monologue about like living in in cologne base. That it was like a really totally. This movie is a rough one because it starts off with a yacht sexy you and mcgregor getting ratcheted out. you know. immediately he was. Yeah that opening sequence petite that. That's like something back to later on. So but that's not a memory that real you and mcgregor had. I don't think so. We can jumping into the ocean and taking him. I don't it's an unreliable narrator that his dream because all scarlett johansson is in his dream and that's not possible that was impossible for you and macgregor's carry the gregor's character you mcgregor's host always dreamt of having sex with a woman.

"Even know even know what i meant. Rats that's the t shirt and we'll just and the design is just a bunch of question marks. we do have a ragu. Shape the ratchet in the shape of a question mark. God yes go ahead okay see. I'm more raises. You need more. I second the vince. Vaughn kinda guy. I got phrases man. I want to ratchet it out. Because i my question is when a clone like if we were to wake up inside that facility we and we would be adults bright and we would start off with like some sort of template of memories rack nokia. Just wake up one day and were there. Yes we wake a okay so remember. The scene. both You mcgregor's dreams. But then also there's a scene in which the in the room and they can see that all the clones are watching the same movie. That's like the movie that is in his dreams and so they they are implanting memories into all the clones that are similar. You know that. Are you talking about the contamination about the event about all told them that one story like. I had a bicycle and it was stolen. That was that story that scurrying to hand has said where they mix them around. Steve bosomy kind of reveals that at that point. So i think what's what's what's happening with. What's unsettling the clones have. No memory. they have none of the memories of their hosts or of their original selves. They just are. They think they all their memories are tied to this idea of island and the lottery. Remember the voices like you want to go to the island. You want to go to the island so those are their memories. Quote unquote yeah. They're very i mean. Look they we have. There's so much what i love about. This movie is deals very much with you. Know a big issues. But it's funny and you know for us to do a comedy like this. I'm excited like when they got my will bay movie. I was like well. How can we do and michael bay moving there so funny and they're so they they they make toe. They always make total sense. And there's nothing really like Outrageous or pushing it too much into michael movie to me. I'm is upset with a michael bay movie. 'cause i'm mike the cameras so still almost like Like a woody allen movie walking in walking out of frame a like like. It's a lot like him in lars volunteer dogra. He's he had. Here's the dogma principles you know. It's pretty yeah. His there was so much. This movie i at a certain point i was like oh this entire movie and i'm so curious to the i want to ask you guys a question. This movie is essentially all running and catwalks and like all how much do you think scarlett johansson and you and mcgregor actually ran during this movie or is this just other people running because they running constantly there. I mean once they get l. I guess they're even running inside the clone base always running. They're always running. The movie should have been basically called running jumping climbing and doors and citing some sliding sliding thanks so much that at one point and falling. Yeah and falling down. The sides of of billings of bill win there on that letter. When they're on the letter that falls they the guys i says there on the seventieth floor they survive and less loans are somehow stronger or more resilient or not they'll seventy stories and are fine and they don't they could easily add like once they had these set pieces they could have gone back and said you know. Let's just add a line like clones can't be destroyed. Oh yeah that'd be great like just get it through but no again. Go back to the comedy. Which is they fall off. A building into of large circus net after hanging onto a letter. There's dropped and a man just goes. Oh wow god must like you and then looks at scarlett johansson. Because she's very attractive and goes. God must really like you and that's kind of like we're laughing so much. We forget. beijingers classic beijingers. I was. I was going to bring up before was the dude scene and we were talking about. How a smart they are. These people don't even know what dude means and when they figure out the term dude fund sequence like they there at the club there at the clone club because they did build a club for the clones to hang out at like even though the clone world is so like sanitary and clean. They did build a club for them to exist in which makes interesting about like the this facility like there were several points i like. I might like a stay there. Spa i wrote i wrote clone. Living is like spa living. You're sitting by the pool you're exercising. You're having meals with friends. Maybe you maybe you have to eat like a little to clean on some bacon. But i was like this feels like a spa week. Yeah i was watching this being like. I wouldn't mind after this eighteen months. I wouldn't mind some time at clone island. Is it kind of like a veal kind of thing. Where they're just keeping them. Well no i guess the idea that they because they have to be they have to be kept fit because at any point someone can get injured and they'll have to go into service but they they basically you could stay there for seven years. You can stay there for three years. There's no end to it so they do like it really is just an insurance policy. They're there for as long as possible. They don't die. I guess is what i'm saying. It's like did they aged though. Oh oh yeah do you. Just get a clone of the version. You are when you want the. That's what it seems like when they make when they are burdening the clone. I don't know well you know in oko. Here's what i'll say so in the scene where they're where you're in the room with all the sax right and the sacks are all in different stages of development there's one that's just a nervous system and it's adult size. Oh yeah so my assumption is they grow you at the size. You are when you were age rather you are when you are scanned and that. That's why there's no children that's why there's there's no people aren't growing up there you know like you like you and mcgregor was grown to be you and macgregor's age in three years. Don't they say he's three years old but yet but but he knew latin. And how dr now. That was the problem. That's the that's the problem. They're having doreen to remember. His hosts memory's not his own. He's starting to be able to remember which shouldn't be possible. You know what we know now. I'm having a whole. I just remembered a whole sequence to of the film. That i forgot about an you know in two hours and sixteen minutes. It's easy to do because there's so much information so long. It's show all day long. It's a it's aggressively long..

"So he i think that's why he got a clone but it sounded like to me scarlett johansson's character. She had just been in an accident so she had a clone ready to go. I don't think she knew she was going to write wasn't the case. Because i also believe that can go either way. Yes it's college. Hanson's clone needed a heart. A lung exceeded all sorts. She was in the hospital. She was in bad shape. Mommy sick but also believe in the kid says just to be clear. That's june as soon as i think. But i will say that i feel like the football player like in the future was like. Oh well we need to have this case you get injured that football player with the most unglamorous cameo of all time. That's the the first cloned girl movie. Collateral summer movie we did was with the f. Xfl guy right yes men not replicas the other one sorry surrogate surrogate no. That's they're all just really blending there. They really really are interesting. I'll tell you what the this was an interesting once. I realized there there were harvesting organs. Like okay let kuncoro summer taking a nice Into the island. Let's like oh. This isn't exactly what i expected. And okay this is another case. Study for clones. That wasn't a top of mind. This was interesting version of it in that it was all the other ones have been somehow. Predicated on personal experiences from the non clones is essentially. This is from the keanu misses. His family has to clone them. Arnold is cloned without his knowledge and suddenly has to of all of these things versus this is like ono. Clones are getting consciousness. Well i remember who they are. Well yeah and. I think that what a great way to end. I mean we really the evolution of the clone. I mean really you know. We went from being a supporting player in their own films. To really cares. Yeah it's really it's really great. It was nice at this point. At this point it was nice to really like dive into a clone experience. The client experience and just be a part of a clone narrative from the jump and understanding what it is to be a clone. You know i mean. I don't wanna jump too far head but god my questions really for the last scene like world has cones going at the end. Yeah y'all i mean the great question in they do have the brain power or they are They're supposed to be smart as children so i don't think they're getting too far. Because especially where that clone base was it would have been a roadside bar wi fi. They're all gonna get stabbed. They're all going to the ace of spades where where they all found a matchbook case as for. Act spades this that they all just like because they were so not intelligent enough. They all just started like lemmings. Like walking off of a cliff or into the ocean because they can't help themselves the first shot that you see you in mcgregor out and about. He puts his face right next to a snake. The snake is just going to ratchet them out. Like just like ratchet amount. I don't even know what that means. Take a racha. where do you think new term right. Now we're that even come.

I mean well right now that is primarily what we're looking at as we are part of clone girl some or get it on. T shirts are available in. Rtp bookstores this might be the end of clone girl summer because the pins are getting slim. We did the two thousand five michael bay film. The island Starring scarlett johansson and you and mcgregor about two people who find themselves in futuristic society only to learn that they are clones who are insurance policies for rich people that are using their bodies to harvest different organs if and when they ever get sick or will die anyway. It's a complicated story. Yeah wait a second. And paul see that last part again to clones are for green rich people in if and as to purchase as insurance policies. Yeah for if and when they get sick or die. Yeah like an organ farm or something like that okay. So i've thought i'm sorry to have to jump no no problem not welcome to the show. Jay semantic june. Diane jump right in so i thought you didn't purchase a clone until you got the you didn't purchase that until you got sick. I think that. I think both are being exhibited because i think you and mcgregor was diagnosed with some whatever. He was diagnosed with hepatitis z. Or something he was diagnosed with the fucking disease fucked too much philandering and.
