And this is your host, Mark Thomas. Welcome to episode 151. In last week's episode 150 and in today's episode, we are going to the evangelism on fire podcast archives and I am putting in your ear the top two rated God stories from all of the God stories in our podcast archives. Today, I want you to listen to this amazing God story of Gigi. She grew up as a practicing Muslim who now follows Jesus with a fierce love and passion as a Christ follower. This is one of your favorite all time God stories on evangelism on fire podcast. So I want you to sit back, listen to this amazing, amazing God story and enjoy evangelism on fire nation. I have a special guest with us today. Her name is Gigi and I'm so excited to have her on our podcast today. She has an amazing testimony of what Jesus has done in her life. So Gigi, say hello to evangelism on fire nation and tell us a little bit about yourself so we can get to know you. All right. Good morning evangelism on fire. I pray that my message blesses you today. Yes. Yes. Amen. Yes. So let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ghislaine Labar Taft, but I'm known as Gigi as my close friends call me. I was born and raised in Morocco in North Africa. I am actually the product of a French Catholic mother and a Muslim Moroccan father. How crazy is that? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That is right. They met in med school. They wed and they had two boys and a girl. That would be me. And since I am the youngest, I had to toughen up at a very, very young age. So when I was three years old, my mom had had enough of not being fully accepted by my paternal family. She didn't want to convert to Islam. And my father, who was very cool and very opened while he lived in France, became very Muslimish, so to speak, when he went back home. And that's part of the culture actually. So while on vacation, she met an American and just up and left us. My dad, who was a prominent doctor, found us a nanny who loved us unconditionally. And Pastor Mark, I truly believe that that's where my unconditional love for others come from. She really felt that in me, you know, those back. Right. That's amazing. To this day, it actually touches me to the core that someone would be willing to leave her family just to care for us. It actually brings tears to my eyes, truly, you know, so that's sacrificed right there, you know. And the reason she did that is at first she would come and take care of us during the day, but I would cry and wouldn't sleep all night because I missed her so much. So she gave it all up and came to live with us. Wow. That is so amazing. And you're right, Gigi. I mean, what a great expression of unconditional love. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so when I was six years old, my father died in a plane crash. There were 60 doctors on board. One survived to tell the tale. Very sad story. My dad's younger brother, my uncle, and his wife took us in. They had three kids. We were three. And you would think we were the Brady Bunch, except we were not a happy family, unfortunately. So my uncle, and like my father, was a practicing Muslim and taught us to pray five times a day, which is how we pray, how Islam teaches you to pray, basically. It would yank us out of bed to ensure that we had prayed. So literally we would be asleep at night and he'd yank us out to make sure that we had prayed. Not having the time to pray meant that you would pile up your prayers. Islam requires the faithful to pray five times per day and allows you to make up those prayers if you are busy or if you forget, basically. Allah is the authority and he's not to be questioned. Actually, nothing is to be questioned, period. So I grew up really fearing and hating this punishing God who sat up in heaven and seemed to enjoy tormenting me, at least that's how I felt, right? Nothing was going right at that time. When I was 16, I found my mom through the embassy, the French embassy, and I ran away. I literally went to school one day and ran away. My mom lived in New York. She sent me a plane ticket and I came to the US with not even my toothbrush, I tell people. My brother, $20. And that's what I had in my pocket. So you not even a toothbrush and you had $20. That's all the money that you had with you. That's all I had with me. And I crossed the ocean and came to this country with absolutely nothing, an empty heart, broken empty heart. I had left my brother and that's what happened. So it took a few months because we had to wait for the visa. My mom had gotten me a visa and I left Morocco. I never returned until 2013 when my brother, who's biologically my cousin, but as I had said before, we were three and they were three. So we call each other siblings, brothers and sisters. When he got married, he insisted for me to go back. And that was my first time back, 80s. So of course being the way I was, I looked for love in the wrong places. And I met a young man and we had a very bitter divorce and I moved to Florida. I was an empty shell and I studied religion, trying to find gods all over the place. I thought, well, if it's not in a guide, there has to be a God somewhere. And I landed on an ashram studying Buddhism. And I felt like that Buddha's teachings were calm, loving, and that was something that I could follow. Meanwhile, I earned my degree in teaching in education, but couldn't find a job. So I had to move to Charlottesville, Virginia to teach French and Spanish at a local high school. So that's pretty much what happened, like how I grew up, so to speak. That's an amazing, unique story of your life. It really is very different. So let me ask you this, Gigi, like when you came to this country, to our country with only, again, you said no toothbrush, only $20 in your pocket. What empowered you to have the courage to make that move with only $20 in your pocket? My brother wanted me to leave. He knew, my older brother knew that my family was trying to marry me. So in Islam, they marry people at a young age, really, or something. And people were starting to look at me and ask my uncle for my hand in marriage. And he was considering it. And at the time I was 16 and my brother wanted me to study and be educated and do something with my life. So he's the one who pushed me, really. Yeah, that is so awesome. So how did you discover Jesus as your savior, as a once practicing Muslim? Well, one day my friend Bob and his wife invited me to Efford Baptist Church, which is a church here in Savannah County, for their daughter's baptism. I really didn't want to go because I didn't believe in Christianity. You have to understand, for Muslims, the Trinity is not only foreign, but it's absolutely horrible. How can you be God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, right? It's just not heard of. So I really wasn't interested in religion and Christianity, but remember, I had a big heart and love that was instilled in me. So I went with a gift, because I love to give gifts, and I really did not go for any religious reasons. After all, what kind of a God would allow a three-year-old to be abandoned by her mother? Or what kind of a God would allow a six-year-old to lose her father to be raised by an authoritarian uncle? My uncle emotionally, physically, and sexually abused me, and that was hard for me. Yeah, so of course you're thinking, if there is a God, what kind of God will allow that pain and suffering into my life? Right, absolutely. And so at the end of the service, the pastor made an altar call, which I ignored completely. Actually I was thinking, I need to buy food, I need to do this, I need to do that. And he then asked everyone to stand and sing, give thanks with a grateful heart. And honestly, I don't even remember what happened. All I know is that the flood of tears emanated from my eyes. I couldn't even stand, and I crawled to the altar. Oh, wow. You literally, you crawled to the altar? I could not walk, Pastor Mark, and that is the God's honest truth. I couldn't even carry myself. I crawled there, and while I was crawling, I felt all the guilt from years of sin, all the shame, all the hurt, all the anger leave my body. Wow. I just felt instantly renewed, like a renewed body. And it was all replaced with love, with hope, with gentleness, with kindness, with goodness. Really the fruits of the spirits just oozed out of my body. The love of God, that love and peace that really encompasses all understanding. And literally, I met Jesus, my Lord and Savior, at the altar that day. Wow. And you literally, you weren't going to let anything stop you, Gigi. You literally crawled to the altar to accept Jesus as your Savior. I really did. I really did. Physically, I couldn't even do it. I just crawled. That's the bottom line. Wow. That is what I'm talking about. Wow. So you weren't ashamed of the gospel. You knew that Jesus was calling you and you crawled to the altar to receive him. And on your way there, he is totally cleansing you. And you're being reborn with each inch that you crawl to the altar. Wow. I just absolutely love that. You know what? You got me fired up. Just tell me that story of you accepted Jesus as your Savior. Wow. It's amazing. I still sometimes have to pinch myself just to be like, wow, I can't believe this happened to me. Yes, I was saved. I didn't feel the big, you know, anything. It was big. Right. It was big. Oh, wow. Wow. So if there's anyone listening to our podcast right now and they're thinking about coming to Jesus and, you know, accepting him as your Savior, but something that's holding them back. I want you as someone who literally physically crawled to the altar to receive Jesus. What would you tell that person right now? I would just say, just go. What have you got to lose? Honestly. Yeah. What can you lose? Just run. Don't even think about it. Who cares what others think? You know, the whole time I was there, I was like, oh, my gosh, what if somebody sees me? What if somebody recognizes me and my sins? And I just run, crawl, do what you have to do. Yeah, that is so good. Gigi said run, crawl, do what you have to do. Just don't hesitate and wait to accept Jesus as your savior. If he is calling you right now, don't wait. Just crawl to him. Run to him. So Gigi, how long have you been a Christian? I've been a Christian since 2003 when I received baptism. Wow. Since 2003. So what was your life like before you made a decision to follow Jesus? So honestly, as a Muslim, I was very bitter. I didn't understand Allah. And since nothing was to be questioned, we just went through the motions and we followed the teachings. I was empty, though. I was a high school teacher, so I was a contributor. I was really contributing to society. But I felt numb on the inside. I loved on children, but I had no love for myself. I chose abusive men to fulfill a void and I would then leave them or they would leave me. And that gave me like a feeling of justifying my victimhood. I was just a victim basically in this world. It was a dark period in my life, to be honest. Yeah. But living without having a relationship with Jesus Christ is really rocky. It's a costly life. I mean, the Bible is clear. It says the wages of sin is death. And I was dying on the inside. Yeah. Yeah. And many times that spiritual death will lead to an actual physical death. Exactly. Exactly. And maybe not for me, because I was teaching, I was coming home, but I was dying on the inside. And so, of course, you have anxiety takes over, depression takes over. So, yes, eventually, you know, suicidal thoughts were my middle name at one point. Oh, wow. That is darkness. Hey, Gigi, if there's a Muslim practicing Muslim listening or anyone who is outside of the faith of Christianity and they've been searching or they're considering searching for Jesus as their savior, especially to a practice of Muslim, you know, what would you what would you say to encourage them? I would say read the Bible. It's very factual. The history doesn't you cannot you cannot refute history, right? It's written. And I would say so study it for sure. But but have an open heart and just just come and visit a church, just meet the people. There's no questions that will not be answered. There's no doubt that will not be answered. People will put their arms around you and not judge you. I remember saying to Pastor John, who was the pastor of the time, an effort Baptist, I remember saying, but I don't understand the Trinity. And he would say to me, he would put his arms around me and say, keep coming back. Yeah, I would say keep coming back. That is so good. That is so good. Now, I know evangelism on fire nation. You're probably wondering what I'm wondering, you know, about Gigi. So, Gigi, how did your life change after you became a Christian? So after I became a Christian, I felt really free from the inside out. I felt free from oppression. You know, we're in a time where people talk about oppression. I felt free from oppression, which I had created in my own mind. And I will venture to say anyone who feels oppressed is because they have created that in their own mind. I had been a victim as a child, but now I'm a victor. I'm victorious over everything. Yes. My self-esteem is stronger. And I did that really by speaking positively as well. The Bible says we are snared by the words of our mouth. And I choose to speak life every day around me, around the people that are with me so that I can continue to be a positive person. I don't feel broken anymore. I don't feel ugly. I don't want to commit suicide anymore. I don't pursue every broken man to try to fix their life. That was my thing, right? Let me find the most broken person so I can fix them. Yeah. So I actually stopped dating. So I had decided to stop dating for a while so I could date myself and get to know myself. Yeah. Say that one more time. That's so good. I want everyone to hear that again. For sure. I stopped dating, going from one man to another, and I started dating myself. I had a relationship with myself. I started loving on myself, taking care of myself. And I prayed to God. I wrote down actually what I wanted in a man. And a year later, I met my husband, Mike. And we have been married for 21 years now. We have an awesome kid together, which is a whole story with our son, actually. And I wish I could say that everything was easy and smooth since I've been a Christian, but that would be lying. Right. It's not that smooth. A lot of people think, well, I'm going to become a Christian and everything will be perfect. And that's not so. We had, for example, we had to, we tried to have a child for three years and nothing happened. And at the time, like I said, I was a teacher at a local high school and I would see these 16, 17 year old get pregnant. And I would say, God, I'm serving you. I'm here 100% for you. Why am I not getting pregnant? Right. We depleted a bank account with in vitro fertilization. And I was praying one day and I heard God loudly and clearly say, be still and know that I am God. And then he said, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And right then, right there. And then I went into all the fertility drugs and I flushed them in the toilet bowl. And I said, we're stopping this. God knows my heart and knows I want to be a mother. And that's what's going to be. Wow. So you totally trusted in the Lord with all your heart that he, not the fertility drugs, not anything else, that he was the one that's going to provide you with a child that you have a heart desire for. Yes, amen. Exactly. That's what I did. And I remember the devil one day saying to me, see, you're not pregnant. Like every month would pass. And you say, see, look at the God you serve. You're not pregnant. And I would literally open the front door. I could still see myself doing that. I would open the front door. I would put the Bible on the floor. I would stand on it and I'd say, devil, flee out of my house. I am standing emotionally, spiritually, and physically on the word. Amen. That's praise God. That is so powerful. So powerful. Two years later, two years later, I remember I even went and bought a pair of little shoes, like baby shoes, and I would put them in the living room because that was one thing with my husband. I'd always have to pick up his shoes. And that was very annoying to me. Right. So, so I bought little baby shoes and I would put them in the living room and pick them up and put them back. And it might sound crazy to some, but you have to visualize what you want in life. You have to speak it. You, if you want it to manifest, you have to manifest it by faith first, really. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That is so true. And I want to encourage everyone listening, Evangelism on Fire Nation, whatever dreams God has put in your heart right now, I want you to visualize those dreams like Gigi did with having the expectation of her child and speak those things which be not as though that they're going to be and trusting God for him to bring it to pass and for him to manifest your dreams. So that is so good, Gigi. Hey, what now? This is the question of the day. OK, what what's one thing about your testimony that you've never shared with anyone? OK, so I have I've never shared with anyone that I have had two visions of Jesus, and that was while I was a Muslim and Jesus was rescuing me. One, when I was nine years old, I tried to commit suicide and I was we had we had a house that was very, very high and I was upstairs and I thought I should throw myself from the second floor building. And and he appeared to me and told me that he loved me and that scared me so much that I just rebuked him right away. Like I was like, no, I literally said no, because there could not be a Christian God in a Muslim family. So that I mean, if my family had heard of that, they would have destroyed me. I don't even I can't even imagine what could have happened to me, honestly. So so I just rebuked that and let it go. And the second one was after I had graduated from from college and all, I was in my bed and I was just crying because I felt like there was nothing for me to do. No one loved me. I didn't care. I was a victim. Nobody cared. And I wanted to kill myself. And I closed my eyes and I pictured myself throwing myself in the abyss. And I felt this hand, this huge hand pick me up and put me back on this mountain. And it happened like three times that same day, that same moment. And when I looked up, there was a bright light around me. The room was all bright and actually my eyes were open. So it's a it's a true vision, like not a dream or anything. And and Jesus was telling me that everything was going to be fine. Wow, that's absolutely amazing. Hey, I want to thank you so much for, you know, sharing those two really their personal touches from God. And I just I considered an honor and a privilege that you're sharing that part of your testimony that you've never shared with anyone before. Gigi, thank you so much for having the courage to do that. Thank you for having me, Pastor. Absolutely. Now, if someone's listening to this podcast right now and they haven't committed to following Jesus, what's the number one thing you want to share with them? If someone is listening today and I hope they are, I urge you to give your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross to show me and you have to love that unconditional love, really. You know, it's one thing to love, but it's another thing to have that unconditional love. He offers us forgiveness of our sins. He washes them all away as we confess with our mouth that he is Lord. He took someone like me. Sometimes I think God has a funny sense of humor. He took someone like me, a piece of coal, and turned it into a diamond.

This is one of your favorite all time God stories on evangelism on fire podcast. So I want you to sit back, listen to this amazing, amazing God story and enjoy evangelism on fire nation.

So Gigi, say hello to evangelism on fire nation and tell us a little bit about yourself so we can get to know you. All right. Good morning evangelism on fire. I pray that my message blesses you today. Yes. Yes. Amen. Yes. So let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ghislaine Labar Taft, but I'm known as Gigi as my close friends call me. I was born and raised in Morocco in North Africa. I am actually the product of a French Catholic mother and a Muslim Moroccan father. How crazy is that? Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That is right. They met in med school. They wed and they had two boys and a girl. That would be me. And since I am the youngest, I had to toughen up at a very, very young age. So when I was three years old, my mom had had enough of not being fully accepted by my paternal family. She didn't want to convert to Islam. And my father, who was very cool and very opened while he lived in France, became very Muslimish, so to speak, when he went back home. And that's part of the culture actually. So while on vacation, she met an American and just up and left us. My dad, who was a prominent doctor, found us a nanny who loved us unconditionally. And Pastor Mark, I truly believe that that's where my unconditional love for others come from. She really felt that in me, you know, those back. Right. That's amazing. To this day, it actually touches me to the core that someone would be willing to leave her just family to care for us. It actually brings tears to my eyes, truly, you know, so that's sacrificed right there, you know. And the reason she did that is at first she would come and take care of us during the day, but I would cry and wouldn't sleep all night because I missed her so much. So she gave it all up and came to live with us. Wow. That is so amazing. And you're right, Gigi. I mean, what a great expression of unconditional love. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so when I was six years old, my father died in a plane crash. There were 60 doctors on board. One survived to tell the tale. Very sad story. My dad's younger brother, my uncle, and his wife took us in. They had three kids. We were three. And you would think we were the Brady Bunch, except we were not a happy family, unfortunately. So my uncle, and like my father, was a practicing Muslim and taught us to pray five times a day, which is how we pray, how Islam teaches you to pray, basically. It would yank us out of bed to ensure that we had prayed. So literally we would be asleep at night and he'd yank us out to make sure that we had prayed. Not having the time to pray meant that you would pile up your prayers. Islam requires the faithful to pray five times per day and allows you to make up those prayers if you are busy or if you forget, basically. Allah is the authority and he's not to be questioned. Actually, nothing is to be questioned, period. So I grew up really fearing and hating this punishing God who sat up in heaven and seemed to enjoy tormenting me, at least that's how I felt, right? Nothing was going right at that time. When I was 16, I found my mom through the embassy, the French embassy, and I ran away. I literally went to school one day and ran away. My mom lived in New York. She sent me a plane ticket and I came to the US with not even my toothbrush, I tell people. My brother, $20. And that's what I had in my pocket. So you not even a toothbrush and you had $20. That's all the money that you had with you. That's all I had with me. And I crossed the ocean and came to this country with absolutely nothing, an empty heart, broken empty heart. I had left my brother and that's what happened. So it took a few months because we had to wait for the visa. My mom had gotten me a visa and I left Morocco. I never returned until 2013 when my brother, who's biologically my cousin, but as I had said before, we were three and they were three. So we call each other siblings, brothers and sisters. When he got married, he insisted for me to go back. And that was my first time back, 80s. So of course being the way I was, I looked for love in the wrong places. And I met a young man and we had a very bitter divorce and I moved to Florida. I was an empty shell and I studied religion, trying to find gods all over the place.

And I felt like that Buddha's teachings were calm, loving, and that was something that I could follow. Meanwhile, I earned my degree in teaching in education, but couldn't find a job. So I had to move to Charlottesville, Virginia to teach French and Spanish at a local high school. So that's pretty much what happened, like how I grew up, so to speak. That's an amazing, unique story of your life. It really is very different. So let me ask you this, Gigi, like when you came to this country, to our country with only, again, you said no toothbrush, only $20 in your pocket. What empowered you to have the courage to make that move with only $20 in your pocket? My brother wanted me to leave. He knew, my older brother knew that my family was trying to marry me. So in Islam, they marry people at a young age, really, or something. And people were starting to look at me and ask my uncle for my hand in marriage. And he was considering it. And at the time I was 16 and my brother wanted me to study and be educated and do something with my life. So he's the one who pushed me, really. Yeah, that is so awesome. So how did you discover Jesus as your savior, as a once practicing Muslim? Well, one day my friend Bob and his wife invited me to Efford Baptist Church, which is a church here in Savannah County, for their daughter's baptism. I really didn't want to go because I didn't believe in Christianity. You have to understand, for Muslims, the Trinity is not only foreign, but it's absolutely horrible. How can you be God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, right? It's just not heard of. So I really wasn't interested in religion and Christianity, but remember, I had a big heart and love that was instilled in me. So I went with a gift, because I love to give gifts, and I really did not go for any religious reasons. After all, what kind of a God would allow a three -year -old to be abandoned by her mother? Or what kind of a God would allow a six -year -old to lose her father to be raised by an authoritarian uncle? emotionally, My uncle physically, and sexually abused me, and that was hard for me. Yeah, so of course you're thinking, if there is a God, what kind of God will allow that pain and suffering into my life? Right, absolutely. And so at the end of the service, the pastor made an altar call, which I ignored completely. Actually I was thinking, I need to buy food, I need to do this, I need to do that. And he then asked everyone to stand and sing, give thanks with a grateful heart. And honestly, I don't even remember what happened. All I know is that the flood of tears emanated from my eyes. I couldn't even stand, and I crawled to the altar. Oh, wow. You literally, you crawled to the altar? I could not walk, Pastor Mark, and that is the God's honest truth. I couldn't even carry myself. I crawled there, and while I was crawling, I felt all the guilt from years of sin, all the shame, all the hurt, all the anger leave my body. Wow. I just felt instantly renewed, like a renewed body. And it was all replaced with love, with hope, with gentleness, with kindness, with goodness. Really the fruits of the spirits just oozed out of my body. The love of God, that love and peace that really encompasses all understanding. And literally, I met Jesus, my Lord and Savior, at the altar that day. Wow. And you literally, you weren't going to let anything stop you, Gigi. You literally crawled to the altar to accept Jesus as your Savior. I really did. I really did. Physically, I couldn't even do it. I just crawled. That's the bottom line. Wow. That is what I'm talking about. Wow. So you weren't ashamed of the gospel. You knew that Jesus was calling you and you crawled to the altar to receive him. And on your way there, he is totally cleansing you. And you're being reborn with each inch that you crawl to the altar. Wow. I just absolutely love that. You know what? You got me fired up. Just tell me that story of you accepted Jesus as your Savior. Wow. It's amazing. I still sometimes have to pinch myself just to be like, wow, I can't believe this happened to me. Yes, I was saved. I didn't feel the big, you know, anything. It was big. Right. It was big. Oh, wow. Wow. So if there's anyone listening to our podcast right now and they're thinking about coming to Jesus and, you know, accepting him as your Savior, but something that's holding them back. I want you as someone who literally physically crawled to the altar to receive Jesus. What would you tell that person right now? I would just say, just go. What have you got to lose? Honestly. Yeah. What can you lose? Just run. Don't even think about it. Who cares what others think? You know, the whole time I was there, I was like, oh, my gosh, what if somebody sees me? What if somebody recognizes me and my sins? And I just run, crawl, do what you have to do. Yeah, that is so good. Gigi said run, crawl, do what you have to do. Just don't hesitate and wait to accept Jesus as your savior. If he is calling you right now, don't wait. Just crawl to him. Run to him. So Gigi, how long have you been a Christian? I've been a Christian since 2003 when I received baptism. Wow. Since 2003. So what was your life like before you made a decision to follow Jesus? So honestly, as a Muslim, I was very bitter. I didn't understand Allah. And since nothing was to be questioned, we just went through the motions and we followed the teachings. I was empty, though. I was a high school teacher, so I was a contributor. I was really contributing to society. But I felt numb on the inside. I loved on children, but I had no love for myself. I chose abusive men to fulfill a void and I would then leave them or they would leave me. And that gave me like a feeling of justifying my victimhood. I was just a victim basically in this world. It was a dark period in my life, to be honest. Yeah. But living without having a relationship with Jesus Christ is really rocky. It's a costly life. I mean, the Bible is clear. It says the wages of sin is death. And I was dying on the inside. Yeah. Yeah. And many times that spiritual death will lead to an actual physical death. Exactly. Exactly. And maybe not for me, because I was teaching, I was coming home, but I was dying on the inside. And so, of course, you have anxiety takes over, depression takes over. So, yes, eventually, you know, suicidal thoughts were my middle name at one point. Oh, wow. That is darkness. Hey, Gigi, if there's a Muslim practicing Muslim listening or anyone who is outside of the faith of Christianity and they've been searching or they're considering searching for Jesus as their savior, especially to a practice of Muslim, you know, what would you what would you say to encourage them? I would say read the Bible. It's very factual. The history doesn't you cannot you cannot refute history, right? It's written. And I would say so study it for sure. But but have an open heart and just just come and visit a church, just meet the people. There's no questions that will not be answered. There's no doubt that will not be answered. People will put their arms around you and not judge you. I remember saying to Pastor John, who was the pastor of the time, an effort Baptist, I remember saying, but I don't understand the Trinity. And he would say to me, he would put his arms around me and say, keep coming back. Yeah, I would say keep coming back. That is so good. That is so good. Now, I know evangelism on fire nation. You're probably wondering what I'm wondering, you know, about Gigi. So, Gigi, how did your life change after you became a Christian? So after I became a Christian, I felt really free from the inside out. I felt free from oppression. You know, we're in a time where people talk about oppression. I felt free from oppression, which I had created in my own mind. And I will venture to say anyone who feels oppressed is because they have created that in their own mind. I had been a victim as a child, but now I'm a victor. I'm victorious over everything. Yes. My self -esteem is stronger. And I did that really by speaking positively as well. The Bible says we are snared by the words of our mouth. And I choose to speak life every day around me, around the people that are with me so that I can continue to be a positive person. I don't feel broken anymore. I don't feel ugly. I don't want to commit suicide anymore. I don't pursue every broken man to try to fix their life. That was my thing, right? Let me find the most broken person so I can fix them. Yeah. So I actually stopped dating. So I had decided to stop dating for a while so I could date myself and get to know myself. Yeah. Say that one more time. That's so good. I want everyone to hear that again. For sure. I stopped dating, going from one man to another, and I started dating myself. I had a relationship with myself. I started loving on myself, taking care of myself. And I prayed to God. I wrote down actually what I wanted in a man. And a year later, I met my husband, Mike. And we have been married for 21 years now. We have an awesome kid together, which is a whole story with our son, actually. And I wish I could say that everything was easy and smooth since I've been a Christian, but that would be lying. Right. It's not that smooth. A lot of people think, well, I'm going to become a Christian and everything will be perfect. And that's not so. We had, for example, we had to, we tried to have a child for three years and nothing happened. And at the time, like I said, I was a teacher at a local high school and I would see these 16, 17 year old get pregnant. And I would say, God, I'm serving you. I'm here 100 % for you. Why am I not getting pregnant? Right. We depleted a bank account with in vitro fertilization. And I was praying one day and I heard God loudly and clearly say, be still and know that I am God. And then he said, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And right then, right there. And then I went into all the fertility drugs and I flushed them in the toilet bowl. And I said, we're stopping this. God knows my heart and knows I want to be a mother. And that's what's going to be. Wow. So you totally trusted in the Lord with all your heart that he, not the fertility drugs, not anything else, that he was the one that's going to provide you with a child that you have a heart desire for. Yes, amen. Exactly. That's what I did. And I remember the devil one day saying to me, see, you're not pregnant. Like every month would pass. And you say, see, look at the God you serve. You're not pregnant. And I would literally open the front door. I could still see myself doing that. I would open the front door. I would put the Bible on the floor. I would stand on it and I'd say, devil, flee out of my house. I am standing emotionally, spiritually, and physically on the word. Amen. That's praise God. That is so powerful. So powerful. Two years later, two years later, I remember I even went and bought a pair of little shoes, like baby shoes, and I would put them in the living room because that was one thing with my husband. I'd always have to pick up his shoes. And that was very annoying to me. Right. So, so I bought little baby shoes and I would put them in the living room and pick them up and put them back. And it might sound crazy to some, but you have to visualize what you want in life. You have to speak it. You, if you want it to manifest, you have to manifest it by faith first, really. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That is so true. And I want to encourage everyone listening, Evangelism on Fire Nation, whatever dreams God has put in your heart right now, I want you to visualize those dreams like Gigi did with having the expectation of her child and speak those things which be not as though that they're going to be and trusting God for him to bring it to pass and for him to manifest your dreams. So that is so good, Gigi. Hey, what now? This is the question of the day. OK, what what's one thing about your testimony that you've never shared with anyone? OK, so I have I've never shared with anyone that I have had two visions of Jesus, and that was while I was a Muslim and Jesus was rescuing me. One, when I was nine years old, I tried to commit suicide and I was we had we had a house that was very, very high and I was upstairs and I thought I should throw myself from the second floor building. And and he appeared to me and told me that he loved me and that scared me so much that I just rebuked him right away. Like I was like, no, I literally said no, because there could not be a Christian God in a Muslim family. So that I mean, if my family had heard of that, they would have destroyed me. I don't even I can't even imagine what could have happened to me, honestly. So so I just rebuked that and let it go. And the second one was after I had graduated from from college and all, I was in my bed and I was just crying because I felt like there was nothing for me to do. No one loved me. I didn't care. I was a victim. Nobody cared. And I wanted to kill myself. And I closed my eyes and I pictured myself throwing myself in the abyss. And I felt this hand, this huge hand pick me up and put me back on this mountain. And it happened like three times that same day, that same moment. And when I looked up, there was a bright light around me. The room was all bright and actually my eyes were open. So it's a it's a true vision, like not a dream or anything. And and Jesus was telling me that everything was going to be fine. Wow, that's absolutely amazing. Hey, I want to thank you so much for, you know, sharing those two really their personal touches from God. And I just I considered an honor and a privilege that you're sharing that part of your testimony that you've never shared with anyone before. Gigi, thank you so much for having the courage to do that. Thank you for having me, Pastor. Absolutely. Now, if someone's listening to this podcast right now and they haven't committed to following Jesus, what's the number one thing you want to share with them? If someone is listening today and I hope they are, I urge you to give your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross to show me and you have to love that unconditional love, really. You know, it's one thing to love, but it's another thing to have that unconditional love. He offers us forgiveness of our sins. He washes them all away as we confess with our mouth that he is Lord. He took someone like me. Sometimes I think God has a funny sense of humor. He took someone like me, a piece of coal, and turned it into a diamond.

"I will kind of restaurants operate KFC and pizza on among other fast food brands here in the Middle East. It's set for a landmark dual listing in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh later this month. The chamber of Muhammad in labar, who is also the founder of eMAR property spoke with my colleague Manus cranny about the upcoming IPO. As well as Dubai's hot property market. I don't think there's a company like Americana where it's serves you as a customer three times a day, which is very unique business to be honest with you and our region. So I think our stock market needs a share similar to this. Keep in mind that we have 270 million customers in the region 56 billion the size of this business. It grows cagr of 14%. We have 12 international brands with 12 countries, if you look at the performance of the company of the over 2 billion in resident sale, over $200 million in net profit. Amazing management team, great track record, great balance sheet, therefore, I think as a very interesting industry to the whole stock market, either in Saudi Arabia or in UAE. Everybody's screaming the word recession to me and interest rates at 5%, your business, the brands that are in this table. Mama, do you think that they are and will be resilient when a slow down dying turn comes? Again, let's just go back and take a look at we've gone through Corona, all right? I think that's unfortunate, good experience for all of us to see how resilient our business is. And if you look at our number, you see how basically we manage our costs because of the company's very efficient and then how the business really came back again because we are dealing in a very interesting industry. This is not like buying a T-shirt where am I going to buy a T-shirt or not buy a T-shirt? This is how you survive. You need to eat three times a day. And it's up to us to deliver that quality product that quality service all the time and be creative about it. Mama, before we move on to the other part of your business, have you had to raise prices? Well, the business within Americana, how much have you raised prices this year? Do you expect more price rises to come next year? This is a good question. Actually, if you look at the past 8, 9 months and both have gone what we've all gone through, you and I and our consumers and prices and inflation. And if you look at our performance, you will realize that this is a very resilient business to be honest with you. But at the same time, we are responsible enough that we take some of the price increase on ourselves. We transfer a little bit of it to customers because we have to be very careful that affordability is something that we have to judge with a lot of wisdom and we have to think long term rather than 9 months or one year of price changes. Muhammad I want you to shift your hats. I haven't spoken to you for a long time. Prime Dubai property prices are up 70%. You know Zayn I broke this story. So we could both have a little joust here. Good luck to zeta. She wrote this story. I got the number from her. Can not endure. Come on, Muhammad, 2023. Do you think you can see those kind of monster price rises on prime to buy property sir? We all been there. You see these property prices moving upward and downward. And this is the business that we are in. The truth is that you have to look at the prices of a global city like Dubai compared globally. Prices in Dubai are really such a good deal. So I think even with the increase Dubai prices are still reasonably reasonable when you compare them with similar global cities, pickle on them, pick Singapore, pick New York, book Chicago, Dubai is still very affordable. But here's the other side of that trade Muhammad, which is for normal people. Normal people like me who perhaps come to this city with families. They're looking at villas and I 250, 260,000 durhams. That's up 26% on the year. Muhammad, that's a big risk to the growth story of this city, isn't it? Well, but at the same time, I'm in the business where a beautiful villa is still in a 120,000 a month. So the great thing about this amazing city that you can actually find still a great value when it comes to living. So if you want the 250,000, it's there. If you're on the 120,000 rental there or even in sale value on the 5 million home, or if you want the 1 million 200 I'm talking about the local currency here, which is about $300,000 home, it's still available. It's still easy to get. Muhammad, let's just close off with this. We talked a great deal about the amount of inward investment. The cliche is, oh, Russian money is coming and et cetera, but there are many, many other global investors turning to Dubai in the UAE. How much more global investor as was discussions are you having about bringing more money in on you projects? Do I have always had the mix? It has the a lot of the Arabs are moving in has a lot of Indians will the Indians are moving in. Of course, we have an increase from the Russians coming in. But the basic markets that generate the growth to the city, they're almost in the same percentages. Okay, maybe the Russian gun from 5% 5 to 10%. But the other 90% are still the basic ingredients of the city's growth. Is the Russian money done? Beauty bind to ask you, everybody talks about it. You actually know the truth is the rush of Russian money, which is bumped into this market. Is that going to run out in 2023 Muhammad? I could be wrong. In my opinion, I think we are at the end of it, to be honest with you. I look at the numbers that I have. And our traditional markets are really worth moving the market for us here.

This fits into something. Ceo such adela has been saying he wants microsoft to focus on creators and communities in this case to had brings a moderation thing to that. That's not the only thing he wants. But that's why you may have heard the company rumored to be interested in buying tick-tock at one point pinterest and another point discord.

I'm paraphrasing to apple executives apples. Vp of ipad in product. Marketing told stern that touch. Id is more convenient because your hands are already on the keyboard. If you're close enough to use the camera just reach over there and touch that touch ideas i washed for you. Lamar no i. I read that. I was like no no.

Lamar is your hands are already on the keyboard. What if my hands aren't on the keyboard right now. Opening have they'd never opened a laptop before brings up another question. Why don't apple laptops have touchscreens. Your hands or right there right apple senior vice president of hardware engineering. John tournus told stern we make the world's best touch computer on an ipad. it's totally optimized for that and the mac is totally optimized for indirect input.

"Yeah we're not really that interested in winning this game and the ravens were like not only were we take it. We're gonna take a and we're going to change. The narrative is better ourselves but sow. I'm gonna go backwards by the way. I'm stunned by this result. Based on most of what we saw like. I guess we should be surprised by every chiefs loss right because it does seem like you say they could just win whenever they want right then they don't win it's like oh what the hell does app yet to paraphrase norm macdonald. They were the chairman of the board. They were or lebanon after the interception. Midfield the game's over the the ravens having stopped them the whole game. They do this. Terrible shock draw to wins. They lose five now announce third and twelve mahomes. Does you know the carson wentz falling down on the sack. I'm just gonna throw it in the air even if he just takes sack. They're punting the ravens sort of adds to put together too long. Fifteen play drives Ravens giveaway two extra points still get the ball back with three minutes. Left still laborde. Just kinda methodically go down the field second in three percent bunker and then They hand off to clyde edwards hilar- who's not look good the entire time. They've had them. And i have no idea why he's the guy you would give the bottle there. He gets poked out really easily and then And then they can't get a stop and harbaugh. Does he straps it on on fourth and one deal ballot check colts play. That started the advanced. Metrics store warlike years ago. Such a great win for the ravens. And if i'm the chiefs. I'm like we know we could have one. Yeah right figure that. And what like denver and oakland or one and wanna top the division and. I don't think they're scared of either of those teams right now. I said oakland. Las vegas it to outright atop the right there tied. I'm sorry to tied atop the division. And yeah i thought it was weird because their first of all i had a problem with lamar like doing a flop into the end zone soup to go ahead by one like you still have to make the two point conversion to make this official game and of course they didn't so it's a one point game with three eighteen left and then the chiefs get basically to midfield on one pass right over the middle and now they have to kill the clock so you could throw three yard passes to kelsey which is probably what they should do to get into field goal range. Because that guy's really not gonna fumble. It was a great play by the rookie for the ravens to knock that john paul lose from side hours that i was surprised to learn. That was his first fumble. I thought he coughed a couple up Last year but even so like you said like horrible is getting a lot of credit. But i think you absolutely have to go for it on fourth and one and a half three times in a row right like that. Was your serendipity at that point. If you have lamar jackson and a yard and a half to go about six or seven plays you could use to convert their so. While he gets credit i would have. If he punted that ball. I would have said this is insane. He should lose his job long his brother. Yeah because the chiefs would add the ball like minute. Lafayette veasley would've gone down. They would have gotten their forty yards and bucker would have made like a fifty one yard to win and we all would have been like wetted the ravens. Go for. it's funny i. I took a tower on twitter in regretted it because ever is all ravens harbaugh that went for it so great and it's like the evren showing the cup of harbaugh going labar. You want to go for it. What's the market. Say like now we should punt. This wanna go. Look you know what. I take out of by heads a tweet. My shoulder doing a backflip is michelle. Maybe let's plan this get lucky overtime. Every arnold there's no overtime go ask your kids. Hey kids you wanted to get some base game. They now now we're good cetera. Like of course lamar was going to go. And of course the chiefs working to stop. They didn't stop ballgame to me. This was a game of two teams. That were doing something that the other team simply couldn't stop at any time they got in trouble is because they did something else other than the the team could stop like the ravens had terrible picks anytime they threw the ball that sheets thank god bother can stop it and converse with the chiefs anytime they just spread the field and didn't run the ravens couldn't stop they were double teaming tyreek the whole game. They took him out so kelsey. Chelsea's wide open pringle was wide open robinson's wide open. I mean it was a hard guinness again. Yeah yeah it really is a boy but that so then you think about it like i both. These teams are tough outs right so i don't know why we're looking ahead but if i'm trying to narrow down to the final four in the afc why it would be any different from last year. I don't know that it would be. But and i don't even know if you could fix this but the chiefs defense is is always going to be like this right. I don't know that they should always give up. Two hundred and fifty one yards rushing on many of those came in the first-half even even when they had the lead but I just think this is the team right. And they're going to be in every game and it out. You could do this last. What last him with the ball wins kind of thing but they'll win thirteen games this year. I have no doubt really run the ball even on second and three they lined up like they're going to run it and i didn't feel good about the play before the fumble and he would have been tackled even if he didn't fumble would have been third and three It.

Get ready people. Because you're about to hear deep greatest interview that chris and i have ever performed. We were soldiers on time and had the right questions and everything was okay.

Hard rock icons cinderella's guitarist jeff labar and kiss slash cinderella keyboardist gary corbett after this horrible news chris. Sins graciously posted a great picture of jeff. Along with jeff's family statement an errand camaro posted a great pitcher of japhet himself together. Not fun night of drinking and mischief picture taken by ericsson zach.

Bissonnette episode was awesome in another great thing. You can do to help us. Out is a facebook recommendation. That's probably the easiest one but man. They all mean a lot to us if you do it. And if it's good and it's five stars just like that one we will definitely read it on the show. Yeah absolutely we love getting these reviews and starsky blew our minds with that episode. We had no idea what was coming and Yeah he really did his homework and he really knows everything about us. It seemed he knew more about us than we did. And we're We're gearing up on start putting the pieces together to do a Livestream for our tenth anniversary to celebrate it in but yeah he's he seemed like no our entire history so love people that go all the way back with us like that.

Now we gotta let you guys know because everybody's wanting to know the update what's going on with rock and ron well as it stands right now not so great man. Ron's not doing so hot at all and we're all pretty nervous about what the outcome is going to be. One thing we do know for sure is with all the medical stuff that ron had to go through and keep in mind. You know this guy by all accounts should not have been at rock and pied you know anybody else going through the situation. Ron was going through. I'm sure the doctors told him you know. I don't know if you should go to something like that. But rock around was like hell. No i've gotta go rock and roll my friends. I am rock. And ron. And that's what i do and you know what by the grace. The god he was there iraq and pod with us and we all got to hang out with them and love them and show him so much love and so many people that were there. Rock and pod wanted to meet rock and ron.

Let's return the favor and help him and his family out so they can get through this. 'cause you know the bills mount quite a bit especially with them going down to one income were dawn's kind of you know taking care of everything financially and there's a lot of expenses that are just pain and it's it's hard enough dealing with cancer much less having to deal with all these bills so We can't we can't cure cancer..

"I have another movie On my list. It's called crawl. The description of this one says a young woman while attempting to save her father during a category. Five hurricane finds herself trapped in a flooding house and must fight for her life against alligators. So this movie starts off as a young girl. She is a college student at the university of florida. She is on the swim team so she has swum me and when she realizes it's a you know they're in the middle of a hurricane pretty much. She calls her sister and says Something along the lines of like heavy heard from dad's something like that and her sister hasn't heard from their father so the father lives nearby in gainesville so she Jobs over to his house in his lot there. So she's like oh he might be at the old house so she goes to little house and she finds him passed out in the basement and when she finds him passed out in the basement. She basically their basement. They have like a normal basement part in them. They have like a crawlspace and The cross base is quickly filling with water. 'cause it's raining as hurricanes so basements flooding and she. She sees an alligator basically. This is like very beginning. She's an alligator and The dad says they came from the storm drain. And they're just you know they're they're just they're in the water so the movie is basically this girl in her dad trying to Save themselves basically. Because the basement is like i said flooding and they It's like very urgent for them. Because alligators are there. Obviously there's always more than one not always. I should say In this in this specific situation and movie there are more than one alligator alligators. There's more on one. Sorry mcgraw very good right there for a second But it is also a thriller on a kind of like a jump scare but not in the way that it's like paranormal. It's like a real life situation. That could happen so if you also like thrillers. Not so much scary scary. I would definitely recommend crawl guys. Sorry loss than movie. I second Coming in number three. I have a movie called alone and let me pull up the description really quickly for you. Guys alone also a thriller movie. It's more scary okay. I'll just let me some excellent so The description says chris stricken young widow flees the city to cope with the loss of her husband when she is kidnapped by a mysterious man and locked in a cabinet in the pacific northwest. She escapes into the wilderness in his pursuit by her captor. So alone starts out. If i'm being honest. I missed the very very beginning so i'm not sure if it shows like a flashback scene or what i don't think it dies but in the beginning it shows a young woman at moving basically. She has her car in a u-haul trailer attached to it. And she comes across this car that she passes and then he kind of catches up to her and starts following her And then she. He abducts her. This happens early on to solicits in spoiler alert. But he can napster an this. This whole movie is basically her escape from him. The jury of it not not all of it but the majority of it is her escape from him And this like i remember. I was watching it with my boyfriend. And i was like i just i like left in the middle of it. I didn't finish the first night so we finish second day. But i was like. I don't wanna watch this. It freaks me out the whole the whole thaw kidnapping and just being alone and in a situation like that really really does make me uncomfortable. Because that's a serious situation in in itself and that is something that could literally happen to anyone you now. I know girls are almost more subject to it than guys are but that's not to say guys are exempt because there are kidnapping cases of up boys and men as well but like a serious like this is actually a situation that happens day to day so dot kind of hits reality for me and that that makes me very uncomfortable if i'm being honest and like just very cautious of my surroundings all the time and being prepared if a situation like that ever did occur but a movie like this is certainly a wakeup call for people it was for me for sure It's a serious situation and it should be taken seriously. So i definitely recommend Movie alone it is a thriller is also. I wouldn't say scary. Like paranormal or anything or gory. By man's it's not any of those things But i definitely do recommend it coming up next. I have a movie called pie. Wacky and at first. I like sala name this movie. I was like what in the heck like. What kind of word is that. So this movie description says when you're dealing with demons be careful what you wish for teenagers death curse plunges her into an unholy a cold nightmare from the director of back country. So if you've ever seen moving back country can't say that i have. I'm assuming is probably similar to this but Pie racket is the story of a mother and a teenage daughter and The father figure or her father. I should say it as her father He pass away so it's just a mom and daughter dynamic and the daughter is very she. She is her own person. First of all And the mom the mom and the daughter recently move houses in the very beginning of the movie and she's upset at the mother is she doesn't want to move schools so her and her mom getting huge fight get in a huge fight over it because the girls frank group is like at her old school and she doesn't wanna make only france which i don't blame her. You know you're willing to your high school career. You don't want to up in leave and just start over so high already hard enough as it is trying to fit in and and you know mean mean people and just teenagers attitudes all that on high school's hard enough so moving schools definitely a sticky situation being and she doesn't want to be in it so she gets mad at her mom. And in the meantime she's very interested in like the occult and doing rituals and performing spouse on people so she ultimately does a ritual to speed up her mother's passing if that if that makes sense so they got this fight. She was very upset with her. Mom she says. I wish you were dead. And gets the bright idea to do a ritual and the movie because ritual happens early on in the movie but the movie part of it is about the effects of this ritual and what it actually does and what she kind of conjures up as part of this also Not that i've ever donald into anything that has to do with the ecole and all that stuff. I am a catholic. Like i believe in god so i believe in in you know the opposite of god is well and this very much scared me because it reminds me that i never want to dabble in that stuff. I am happy with my life the way that it is so dot movies called pi whack. It it is very good very good on hulu so if you have like. I said all these movies are on. Who noshir. If they're on netflix amazon prime. Or whatever else but if you're able to stream them. I would definitely recommend doing so in coming in at number wine. We have the movie called run.

"Mean people have mental breakdowns. That's just that's just life. Everyone has their breaking point at one at one point or another so a breakdown is not the issue in this case the breakdown was public. The the breakdown was very. It almost made her seem as if she was the criminal so the paparazzi was definitely during their job making it look like she was crazy one when in reality it was everyone out of round her and everyone in hollywood and everyone in the music industry driving her insane and like i just don't i don't get where like this. Confusion comes from with her breakdown like yes. She had a breakdown because she was in the middle of a custody battle and didn't have a good relationship with her. I forget if it's her former husband or the father of her children. Whatever he may be to her she was having a very bad time with him. And i don't think that one mental breakdown should have caused a thirteen year long conservatorship where she's outgrown woman. Reflect on those mistakes and now she is at the point in her life where she's able to make full decisions for herself and live on her own issue needs to so sam taking money from her literally makes very upset when i hear about that. So moving on britney spears newer calls for her father to step down as we just went over. He speaks public. I'm sorry he speak. He spoke publicly on britney's behalf for the first time and of course it was calling on her father to remove himself. Because it is in britain's best interest risen guard also said my firm. I will be taking top to bottom. Look at what's happened over the past decade that really. I would be scared if i'm being honest. I in virus jamie spears. I would be scared because looking at this case looking at anything with fresh eyes. I remember in school about teacher in mind would shoot color code different steps in different like outbreak equations. And she would say you know. Let's stop and come back to this with fresh eyes when we kind of aren't looking at it and we can look at it for new perspective. That is exactly what rosengard is doing looking at this case from a new perspective because he doesn't have the bias that ingham does with the money situation like i'm gonna handle this conservatorship and do i can in order to stay here and be able to keep money. So that's enough on that but the not enough on Rosengard enough on him but reservoir look him looking at this case with fresh eyes in the work of his team. This is going to do so much. Good for britney and i'm just so hopeful for the future for her In an article on npr. It's titled very the very same very similar. It's called brittany. Spears can choose your own lawyer in conservatorship a case a judge has ruled los angeles. Peer court has britney spears to hire her own lawyer in the long drawn out battle over her conservatorship and the pop star has chosen matthew s rosengard a prominent hollywood lawyer and former federal prosecutor to take up her case and also a little bit more about matthew rosengard quickly He has been he has been. I'm sorry he's been an attorney for people Like famous people celebrities and this article by hollywoodlife says five things to know about britney spears new boyer find a specific one. Yes so it says. Matthew has represented a ton of celebrities his sums of experience in media and entertainment litigation. And it's only natural that his past clients include a bunch of celebrities. Besides sean penn matthew has represented winona ryder and be a player. Jimmy butler shark tanks damon john. And that's only in the past year. According to the hollywood reporter other stars who matthew represents include steven spielberg julia louis. Dreyfus eddie vedder inky new canoe. Keanu i'm sorry. I cannot pronounce that so matthew rosengard. This is not his first rodeo in in Defending celebrities so this is a huge huge huge deal so that is about it as far as a freebritney update. I am basically giving you guys all the information. I'm receiving But we can only hope for good things to come from this. I'm very hopeful because not only is it. Somebody that britney has chosen You know her judgment after all this time should be pretty good And also the fact that samuel ingham with his biased opinion in his thirteen years of just straight up not doing anything her conservatorship. I'm happy that he's out of fewer in that. He can't do any more damage than what he's already kind of done. So stay tuned guys for the last segment. I had some movies that i've seen and totally recommend to you guys. Because i know it's hard to find good movies these days on streaming platforms But we will be right back after this quick break report and we are back so into today's episode we've covered jeff labar.

I think yeah i just put my serum in my moisturizer close to my i end for the sag filler and my temples to give me like a little bit of a lifts and really get the boat. Hawks crows feet. Because i kind of like that outer smiley. It's but i get lots of talks in in my my eleven's between my browse. So that's my agree is actually injectables. But then serum i am this huge sand just like second battalion at skin medica. Tnn gotta go to the bathroom. Yeah i'll come back in two minutes. It is there's no retinol retinal in it. I am very sensitive skin. So i- retinoids can aren't great for me. It has epidermal growth factors and honestly if it was talking about they would turn the they would make these drug because they are so effective but the market claims on this particular serum. They shy away from becoming drug like claims. But i will tell you. I'm not the fda is like a frigging drug. What do you mean you said you said are like a drug are they. Like little use is like mcdermot. Gross sack is it like a little pill or what does it look like. Oh i'm so sorry it's an ingredient it's still are actually like cited kinds and things like that the the basically in a petri dish they grow skin cells and the extra good stuff. That isn't the actual cellular like body. Matter is what is epidermal growth. God i like. I have an expert on. Explain it to you better but what they do for. Your skin is basically like retinoid. Plus a bunch of other stuff. There's brightening redness reducing line reducing and this germ. They're expensive though they're really expensive to make them well. And this year my big does it. But my thing is i'd rather save and invest the money on something like that than buying all different kinds of products and you guys. Probably only i leave that and we say it's. That's so smart to me. Because you as someone who tries products all the time. And and i feel like you both can relate to this. There starts to become a time where your skin's like no more of this random stuff all the time enough and it just wants like one thing for a while. I've noticed that about my skin. It's a it's too. Many products is not the move. I don't think not at all and then you don't the variables you're like well which one was. The one did a good thing. If i'm trying different things all the time. So i've narrowed in on that as my pretty much my go-to serum and then i'll play off moisturizers right now. I'm using the strike Skin barrier moisturizer. But i was a goody you. That's a good he'd been. I'm not a married you. I'm willing to try just yovany favorites though unpopular around a lot right. now. I've the for like the i like the last month i've been like prepare.

"This might be planning to the see if you think about it for baltimore. Tennessee might be the only team that can help baltimore baltimore. You speaking about the top rushing teams in the league from the quarterback position in this matchup between ryan tannehill and lamar jackson. Hey we're speaking about the totality. The quarterback is the running the passing. And everything i think. Labar has the edge on tannehill. But when you have the big strong running back henry derrick henry the way these running and if he's going easterly thing an accident passes is is working off of that. You have big strong receivers for tennessee that can make it easier for ryan tannehill the do with things. Both of these teams are predicated. Auditor successes predicated on running the football on office to derrick henry. Run the football. That makes the play action. Pass that much more dangerous. And i think the tennessee and the game against baltimore has a better set of wide receivers than the ravens but just from an improbable proposition position for the baltimore. Ravens you have to go with quarterback being lamar jackson over ten hill and this situation passing the ball if they have to get into a passing situation where both quarterbacks are going to be throwing the ball over thirty five forty times. I like ryan tannehill. Just because i think that he is better thrower than the mark jackson at this stage of his career but also become the weapons that he has from a wide from the tight end position. Mark andrews much better in that position. Then tennessee in ryan tannehill but from the wide receivers position. Versatility the number of receivers. That can hurt you. I think in that situation. The edge goes to ten hill and the tennessee titans sell. They've already met a couple of times. What was sternly here. Tennessee one in regulation was week. Eleven thirty to twenty four and over time and that game the ravens were gain one of the few times that the ravens were out rushed by team tennessee head. One hundred and seventy three yards compared to one hundred and twenty nine four baltimore. Tennessee won the battle of of the yard per carry your speaking about five yards per carry compared to three point. Nine for the ravens. During that game. Henry scored the derrick. Henry scored the game winning touchdown. The newly have a one hundred thirty seven yards hundred. Thirty five yards in the game against the ravens. So all the be key to Stop that stop. Derrick henry and as i mentioned before it is a chore. Because it's more than just tackling and in holding him to two yards and three yards. It's just the totality of dealing with tackling derrick henry throughout the game. So it doesn't matter. His first five carries can be two yards three yards modest one yard one yard and three yards. It's not like oh well. They stopped derrick. Henry let's go ahead and must start passing the ball new new. It doesn't matter because derrick henry. I ten times he might get the ball. He might only average two and a half three three and a half yards per carry but the totality of tackling. That guy of having the tackle that guy in the do it for. I don't know forty fifty plays sooner or later. It's gonna wear off on you.

Coronavirus Wreaks Havoc On The Global Shipping Industry
"San Francisco is of course home to a very busy port. The vessels that travel in and out of there being hit hard the corona virus is wreaking havoc on the entire global shipping industry. And this is all coming on. The back of a protracted trade war with China Amperes. Jackie Northam reports an bright blue crane clamps onto a shipping container sitting on a flatbed truck effortlessly picks it up sore sixty feet in the air and stacks it on top of five other containers. Toast the new crane-operator he's very slow. Visually it swam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Joe Harris a spokesman for the Port Virginia in Norfolk says the cranes are part of a new eight hundred million dollar expansion here. The third busiest port on the east coast. There's a lot of moving parts here so many pieces to it. There there are no incidental moves. Everything is planned. It's truly like a like a watch but the corona virus has upended the precision planning here and at other ports throughout the US and around the world the global supply chain was interrupted when Beijing imposed travel restrictions China Manufacturing slowed. The docks were quiet. Chinese exports ground to a halt as a result. Cargo ships are being idled in dozens of sailings have been cancelled says John Reinhardt. The CEO of the Port of Virginia. There've been over one hundred twenty ships that we're gonNA come to the United States. That have been blanked. So that means they're not sailing for the periods of late. February march and April. You could be talking anywhere from fifteen to thirty percent of the freight that normally flows in and out of this country will not be happening. This slowdown is affecting shipping. Companies Large and small worldwide Maersk. The world's biggest container ship operator warned its earnings would be lower basil. Karadzic's CEO of new york-based Crisis Marine advisers says. The past decade has not been good for shipowners. The demand has been growing at a slower rate than at dawn inch supply. So they're all the shipowners right now. Do not have much money to spare. Disruption is having a severe knock on effect for other parts of the shipping industry says Western Lebar. Ceo of the Harbour Trucking Association in Long Beach California. It's a bad time for everybody. There were three hundred teamster drivers that were laid off just last week because of the inability to have enough rate for them to move. We've seen employee. Drivers take a voluntary reduction hours for some of our companies as much as twenty five to fifty percent of ours well over half of Chinese exports to the US are unloaded in California and the Port of Los Angeles. Long Beach is the busiest complex in the country. Labar says one in every five jobs in Long Beach is directly or indirectly related to the port. Andy says businesses are down sixty to seventy percent since the beginning of February. But Lebar says there is a flicker of hope. The Corona virus is starting to ease up in China. We're hearing many of our customers. That manufacturing is starting to pick back up in China that the ports in China especially the main large port. Shanghai is now getting back to full operations and the hope is that in a week or two maybe we can start to dig ourselves out of this and get back to full operations but Labar says there is a challenge ahead to consider whether the corona virus spreading across the US will affect port operations here as it did in China.

One hundred kickoff gough yes the packers with arid. Everyone talking aaron rodgers matt leflore mark more like matt labar matt to flower flower blooming it wasn't it wasn't about aaron rodgers. It was about mike petten and the packers defense ten to the three season opening win just like the the big game last year in week. One the packers break the bears hearts and that's how it all starts dan hands of the around the n._f._l. Podcast joined in the backyard of what is it. What do we call on.

West rose were here in the backyard with of course greg rosenthal's my left mark cecil next to me and wes and <hes> lakisha here tara deaker and it's a beautiful night in southern california. We sat outside chirping. Crickets are chirpin ambient sound. That's all of mitch trubisky fans hands. Yes exactly exactly so. Let's get into talking about this game <hes> because listen i don't think we were expecting a shootout greg but no one expected game at this level and we could dissect <hes> how poorly the bears played but give it up for the packers defense which balled out right here lots of people had great. Night's goudie was one of brian to the packers. General manager brings in preston smith who gets three q._b. Hits in this <unk> game including the game finish zig area smith. I think hadn't even bigger impact the brings adrian aimo senate who has the key interception <hes> his draft half picks darnold savage and i think the two safeties they have savage in amos are gonna let mike pet and do a lot of crazy stuff back there. He loves having five six defensive backs. They're not going to dominate like this every week but you could just see aaron rodgers after the game. How happy is that. He's going to have a difference making defense and i think they can be a top seven the eight ten defense all season. I don't think there's a fluke. I mean i i think part of it is the offense you play tonight in chicago. That seems like a work in progress and you know a lot of those players did not operate great in the preseason and airy measured compared to what you were saying during well. No i mean i i would say this. I leave your credit because i think mike patton you. You got some with these games back. When he was cleveland coach in the one good season they had and when he was the jets coach when he started his court kind of feel himself in the second quarter with this defense they got aggressive and they took chances and they were able to against the bears offense it in the second half. I'll never forget this drive where it's one points i and forty then it's second and forty than its third and forty and i you know for all the people who want to tug mitch trubisky into this conversation a franchise quarterback. I've not seen someone with that. Label look has lost consistently on third down as he did tonight. There seemed to be no plan for this offense or he could not pull them out of the trouble. They got into and it's going to be a long week for him. I know logically not to overreact two week. One especially after the quarterback didn't play in the preseason but there is a there's a feeling of collaboration just throwing mitch trubisky by the way so this is the big breaking news the midway through the

Turning Carbon Dioxide Into Plastic Dashboards
"And so we end as we began with climate and c._o. Two here is professor. Geoffrey coates at cornell who's both making plastics from come dockside died and designing new and better batteries. I that recaptured c._o. Two so we've developed a catalyst catalyst is an agent that helps a chemical reaction. Take place and with another molecule. We've been able to make plastics directly from the carbon dioxide plastics like are they thin like a bag or are they solid so we can make a range of plastic season carbon dioxide. It depends on this other molecule that we add in one case he said up to fifty percent carbon dioxide and those materials are relatively soft at room temperature in fact their main uses to be used as a foam in a in in a urethane. Obviously you've done this labar trae but has it been developed practically so that it's working now somewhere with a one of my former students and a local businessperson burson we founded a company called novermber back about a decade ago and after many years of development we now have a commercial variety of this polymer which has now been licensed by large company called aramco. I'm what do you make these are materials that are called polyols and they're used in making things like foam mattresses. Who says maybe the soft material. The dashboard of your car can also be used in coatings and adhesives. Does it use much c._o. Two again it depends on the material. The two main classes material are either fifty percent carbon dioxide or about forty three percent carbon dioxide so it does use a lot of c._o. Into a lot of c._o. Two so if you look over the years the experiments you've done they develop she made you've taken a fair amount of c._o. Two out of the atmosphere. I mean obviously if we've commercialized that we've done this on on multi scale. The hope is that the material becomes commercially very successful and a great to be able to capture even more c._o. Two so so how many people are copying you well there. There's a few companies. Few companies were from the point of view of the world wants to have c._o. Two used up it would be encouraging if they had been people emulating example yeah as you can imagine we have a very strong patent portfolio that restricts the use of this only two companies license. It is their encouragement from say washington d._c. Or what you're doing is shaking his head. That's very interesting. I should add that the the u._s. Funding agencies have been incredibly generous. Both the national science foundation and the department of energy provided the funding that allow this work to happen one imagine men who is carbon so ubiquitous that there would be. This kind of effort made my turn you now to batteries this and i'll give you an example of the kind of work. That's been going on in australia this professor tom mash meyer who's professor of chemistry from the university of sydney developing epping a kind of jail. 'cause we think of batteries having liquids acid liquids which are hard to handle with a jail. You can build into <hes> houses. You can have in buildings so the fabric of the building is actually a giant battery. Is this sort of thing that you're trying to work towards so we work on a part of the battery. That's called the electrolyte and then as you just mentioned often this is made from a liquid that causes potential safety hazards if the battery artery ruptures and it's hot organic burst into flames and so what we're trying to do is instead of a gel. We're replacing it with a polymer. Given the polymers have no vapor for pressure there quite a bit safer and also can help in some of the fundamental operations of the battery and can you have scale as i mentioned you know in buildings so one of the big advantages of polymers the ways to process summer very well worked out and so to be able to make thin films of these as the electrolyte is actually pretty the easy on just imagine there being on tops of buildings and solar rays and the storage is built into the fabric of the building itself.
Monocle 24: The Briefing
To Keep Track of World's Data, You'll Need More Than a Yottabyte
"Do we need more prefixes for numbers, especially for very large ones? Well, the international bureau of weights and measures is considering just that let's get more on this with Dr Chris Smith who is from the naked scientists that Cambridge University. Welcome to the program. Chris first of all, I think for listeners it may be news that the bureau of weights and measures to be I p m in its French acronym actually exists, but beyond that, what is the background to this story. Well, the bottom line is that I interviewed someone about ten years ago who was busy developing part of the square kilometer, right? Which is going to be the world's most powerful telescope. And he proudly told me that by the time. This telescope goes live the world is going to generate in the region of an exa by of data. Yeah. We got that very wrong because. World's generating hundreds of times more data in a in a year. And that and this is the problem. What's an exit bite them for that massive, what's terabytes or a gigabyte? Well, these real numbers that a prefix is in front of the word bind to mean, very big numbers. And they go up in olders of of magnitude three three magnitudes of ten. So for instance, when we're talking about a megabytes millions of bytes. I'm talking about gigabytes has billions of bytes terabytes is thousands of millions. And so on an exit bite is rapidly followed by Zetter, abide followed by a iota bite. Now. That's where the road in an as you can see that. We're actually getting close to the top of the SCO with y'all to buy switches one full of by twenty zero is because actually we think that within the next decade. That's roughly how much data we're going to have stalled on. So what scientists are saying basically is we need some new prefixes to describe these enormous numbers that we're going to start generates you not just the data that he physics than describing the universe as well because we're beginning to get into the regime. Where we need big big numbers to to be described. And we haven't actually got the scientific numbers defined to do that with. So this time, do you think the bureau of weights and measures will be able to predict this is of numbers that we have going forward when we're we're speaking about data will they create the right prefixes, or is there simply no way of telling. Well, the current suggestion comes from rich Brown from the national physical tree in the UK the national physical labar tree on Al effective equivalent of. What goes on in Paris where we do weights and measures full the UK, and he raised this point road to paper in the journal measurements. Which is what stimulated this discussion in which is in his paper. He put scored a couple of proposals. For new words that we could use going to be considered by the Paris panel in October his proposals all the Rona all NA, which would describe something with twenty seven zeros off to the number one and the quicker. Which would describe one fully by thirty zero. And the opposite end of the scope a really really tiny things. So a decimal points, and then a set number zero men the number the room toe for the mo- tens to the minus twenty seven and the quick to- tend to the minus thirty. So these are the numbers that putting Ford and they've been well informed by there's a mixture of Greek and Latin in the in terms of how they came to these these names, and it means that they using letters that we haven't used yet already and it does leave a be behind. So we still got one number when we run out of metro road. We got one more number. We could add beginning with A B. And he's already thought some suggestions above deca, which would be tend to thirty three an abundant. Oh, which would be ten to the mind is she three
