A highlight from Trollhunter
"And welcome back to cinema vino, but it's good to have you guys here with us. That's good to be here. We got Sean Jordan, but it's your boy. And my name is Todd Wofford. And it's good to be here. Summer chaos continues. We're down on our home stretch wrapping it up. We just got a couple more movies to go. Yeah, we don't have long to go. We're almost at the Labor Day weekend. It's almost through September. It's time. Put away all my white outfits and just move on with life. So yeah. Do you put away the white album too? Do you stop listening to it? I do. I go for the gray album after Labor Day. So I go with Jay -Z. DJ Danger Mouse. I go Black Album. DJ Danger Mouse. DJ Danger Mouse. DJ Danger Mouse. Jame Judy Dench. Jame Judy Dench. If I hear Yamo be there one more time. So beautiful Michael McDonald. That's a great baritone by the way. Grace Baritone and all the rock. You know all the words. I hate Michael McDonald. Yeah. What about the Doobie Brothers? I like the Doobie Brothers pre Michael McDonald. Okay. I had like the best of Doobie Brothers CD and like disc one. Awesome. Disc two. Awful. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, so we are drinking Riesling and we're talking about Troll Hunter. Oh, this is lovely Riesling. Yeah. German Riesling. Yeah. It's just German. Couldn't find a Swedish Riesling? They're out there somewhere, I'm sure. Norwegian. So obviously Summer Chaos to bring guys up to speed. We spin a random wheel or we picked random movies and then we spin a random wheel and pick a random wine to go with them. So this is all just. Or spirit. Or spirit or beer. It's willy nilly. Anything goes. Or Todd gets bored and just makes it some seven sevens that are like oddly strong. We don't actually see the process of Todd picking booze. So sometimes it's just like you guys are drinking rum. Sometimes you're not meant to see how the sausage gets made. I think he definitely has put like a finger in every single drink that he's given to me. A hundred percent. More than one. Smells like a sweaty hot dog. Yeah. Sometimes I go full bowling ball in there. So it adds to the three fingers. Three finger profile. That's a bad name. Tastes like Todd's fingers. We all three finger profile. Tastes like what Todd's fingers have been in. That's going to be the first line of my autobiography. It's the terroir. It is the terroir. So we're going to talk about the wine a little bit from the start. I got my notes right here all ready for you. Riesling is known primarily as a German rattle but you'll see it grown in a lot of other places such as Australia, France, the US and Canada. Australia is actually your second biggest rower of Riesling. Rieslings have a reputation as a sweet white wine but you actually got a pretty good wide variety of between dry and off dry. Pretty much any kind of flavor profile of white wine there's a Riesling in that range somewhere. Alsatian wines tend to be on very dry side from France. And then... This one's a little off dry, right? Yeah. This one definitely falls kind of in the between area. And then you go all the way up to Trokenberne Auslese which is going to be just sticky sweet. I mean just like... Hot sticky sweet. Yeah. I'm hot. Sticky sweet. From my hand to my feet. Yeah. Like Todd's fingers. So for food pairings you're going to put this with Asian foods, Indian foods, any kind of spicy dish. With the sugary sweetness of the wine will definitely kind of balance things out for you. Rieslings are coming usually at a good price point. They can be anywhere from $10 to $25. They don't tend to be crazy expensive. You drink them obviously very chilled but any kind of a bold spicy dish you can do a Riesling with. But you can also do them with holiday meals, kind of lighter cuisine. So like... You're actually going to get to do a Riesling tasting in Germany in November. Ooh. That's right. You're going across the pond. That's right. Pinkies up. Pinkies up. That's going to be fun. Yeah. I'll be able to taste it straight off the vine. You have to take lots of pictures. Yeah. Lots of pictures of Zavino. If I come back with Wiederhosen I'm going to be so happy. I would be disappointed if you don't. Yeah. In a big old box of shrooms. So this is going to be... Let me see if I can pronounce this correctly. Correctly. This is A .C. Chrisman, Faltz Riesling. Yes. I'm working on my like great escape like Nazi Gestapo for... accent Sandre. It's really about Bono. Weingutzeit. Yeah. Weingutzeit. That's like the quality. This is like a high quality Riesling. I think in German that literally translates to wine good. Yeah. Good wine. Yeah. It's like this is one of the top quality Rieslings that you can get. So about 25 bucks. And yeah. This one's going to be definitely kind of in between off dries where I put this one. It's definitely not sticky sweet. It's definitely not bone dry. But yeah. A little scale for you. If you're shopping for Rieslings from dry to sweet, you've got cabinet, which is K -A -B -I -N -E -T -T, spätlese, auslese, berna auslese, trocken berna auslese, and eiswein. So that's what you're looking at on the shelf. That's from dry to sweet. And this one's trocken, right? Yeah. Well, yeah. This is going to be... Well, that's a trocken berna auslese. So this is going to be kind of in between. So this is not quite the berna auslese. So this is going to be more towards the cabinet spätlese side of sweetness. This will be... So go for cabinet if you're looking for dry. Go for auslese if you're looking for pretty sweet. And then once you get up to berna auslese, it's going to be just hummingbird feed sweet. So this one definitely has some good solid like sugar to it. But I do give Riesling to my hummingbirds. They fly sideways. And then they have a great afternoon. Those wings slow wading. When they get drunk really fast and then they also sober up equally as fast. It's that heartbeat that just goes 100 miles a minute. But they can't hit that feeder once they get drunk. They can't get that beak in there. They self -regulate, you know? Yeah. Well, nature does that for them. They flap one wing at a time. They just got to... They're going to leave edibles out for the squirrels. Oh, that's great. Don't give me ideas. So Trollhunter, a little background on this one. This is your pick, Drat, right? Yeah. Sadly, I didn't know I was coming tonight. So I never got... Long story short, I'm watching my niece this week. She's two and a half. And I woke up at 5 .15 today. So that's, you know... Where am I? Yeah. So sadly, I didn't get to watch this again before this, but I've seen it twice. Lovely young lady. Yeah. I can't remember what happens at the end. I was going to say, when was the last time you watched it? Not too terribly long ago. So this may be... It's educational for you. In the last two years, I want to say. Okay. So a little bit about Trollhunter. This was released October 29th, 2010. So long ago. That was almost 13 years ago. Gross. Yeah. Actually, I got to say, I think I watched this probably in 2011, 2012. So it had to have been pretty recently after it came out. Because this was a magnet release, which they did a lot of straight to DVD stuff, picked up stuff that was on the film festival rotation. I don't think this ever had a theatrical release. I mean, I'd heard about it. Well, stateside maybe, right? Yeah, probably. But I mean, if it's small enough, it probably had film festival releases with no actual theatrical. I'd say that's probably why the worldwide box office gross. I couldn't find it. It probably wasn't there. That's why. There you go. Budget of 3 .5 million. I don't know if that's in Norwegian money, and I don't know what Norwegian money even looks like. So it's called a skribu. Two very different answers. Did you make that up? No. Run that about me one more time. What was that? Skribu. That's very Swedish chef -esque. So on IMDb, it has opening weekend of $5 ,585 in the US. That's US dollar. Okay. That's probably like 40 or 50 million in Norwegian. And the budget was 19 .9 million nock, which I think is Norwegian kroner. That's beads. That's the larger denomination, but the lower denomination is skribu. Skribu. So it's like cents. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. This grossed over 2 ,000 matroska dolls or whatever. Well, it's like two cents. Yeah. They did a good box office in those little dolls that you get another doll inside and another doll inside. It brought in a lot of those. You got dinks, then you got skribus, and then you got sickles, and then you got nuts, and then you got galleons. That might be Harry Potter. So 515 is doing you real good, isn't it? We just lost our Norwegian listener base. Now, I like that guy. He's got good comments. I can never read them, but they're great. Yeah. They're all related to skribu. Well, I Google translate all of them, so I get the gist. So this had a budget of 3 .5 million skribu. This a is found footage fantasy horror film. Vaguely in the similar vein as Blair Witch Project. That's the vibe I got a lot of, a little bit of Cloverfield, that kind of vibe too. Found footage. Yeah. It has some elements of Jaws. It also has some dark humor, moments of dark humor. I mean, very dry humor. This has become a cult hit over time. So very simple plot, has two film students and their camera person trailing a man they believe to be responsible for bear poaching in the mountainous Norwegian countryside. He is Hans, played by Norwegian comedian Otto Jespersen. Otto Jespersen. He is part Quint from Jaws, part Ahab, part Unabomber. Yes person? Maybe. Yes person. It's like having a yes man. You got a yes person. Now I'm going to have to work on my Norwegian. I don't know. I don't know nothing about that. In their attempt at fledgling expose journalism, the students stumble onto a wild story that Hans is actually a troll hunter who attempts to manage and contain the troll population all while also participating in a government project to keep the story buried from the general public. He's more like a troll ranger, really. He's like a park ranger for trolls. Yeah, because he obviously has, and I have like a kind of a weird shambling respect for the trolls, like he has a weird, you know, healthy fear of them. Respect your enemy. Yeah. Well, it's more like a, you know, a naturalist who, yeah, you don't want to contend with bears, but you respect that bears are a living thing that deserve to coexist. But you don't want them to get in your Mazda 6. No. No. Is that a car? That's a Mazda. Yeah. That's a smaller, it's a sporty, very small, I don't think a bear could fit in there. I don't think I could fit in there. Good mileage, though. The Mazda 6? Yeah. I think you're going to get high 20s, and that's not bad for a... The red ones are faster. Yeah, for a sportier sedan, especially because they have that rotary engine that gives you good speed. So... Yeah, that's right. You have a Mazda now. That's right. You're a Mazda. We're part of the Mazda. You know all the specs. Positive traction. Exactly. You've got quadraphonic. Hans hunts the trolls with a massive UV apparatus, which exposes them to their greatest weakness, which is sunlight, either real or artificial sunlight. This either turns them to stone, or it detonates them into a big, hairy pond of goo. The two students attempt to document Hans' story before they either get eaten alive, or the government confiscates their footage or silences them altogether. So that's what I've got for description. So, Trav, this was your pick. Yeah, I'm going to let Sean go first. It's been a while since I've seen this. It's been a while. I love this movie because it is so off the wall. It starts off kind of slow, and it's sort of a slow burn early on, but then it ramps up pretty fast, and you just get into it. For the budget that it was, it's a very good movie. Good -looking movie. Good -looking movie? I mean, with a budget of $19 .9 million, you know, you've got to have some assets being put into it. But the nice thing about doing the found footage is you don't have to dedicate resources to good writing and editing. You can just sort of have these real shoddy jump cuts and things just kind of go all over the place. You don't have to actually end it that well. Spoilers, because you wanted to remember how it ends. Basically, the main reporter guy ends up getting rabies, finds out he got rabies from the trolls, and then ends up running away with the footage. Takes the cameras because the government folks are coming to take the footage. Which the government folks are not like dudes in suits with sunglasses. It's just like a guy in a parka. Oh yeah, we're going to take your footage, okay? Hey, you can't have footage? I'm going to take that from you? We'll give you 4 ,000 scuba for your footage. We've got to put that joke to bed, guys. I'm sorry. You opened that can of worms. You created a monster. I apologize to all Norwegians. But, I mean, it just sort of ends. It just sort of like he runs away with the camera and then there's, you know, some text on a black screen of exposition of this is what we think happened. This is unsubstantiated. Faux exposition. Yeah, faux exposition. Multiple experts have analyzed this footage and determined it's authentic. It's like, okay. But it's fun. It's a fun movie. It's goofy. It's a little, I wouldn't even say like sci -fi or horror. Dark comedy? Yeah, I get a lot of comments about that. I guess. Yeah, because there are really comedic moments, right? Like they hired the Muslim camerawoman and they're talking about whether or not her fact that she's a Muslim will attract - Does she believe in God? Is she? It's Christians? I don't know. We'll find out. Whatever. Yeah. It's a little bit like Gremlins 2. Like, wait a minute. They can't eat after midnight. I mean, it's always midnight somewhere and it pops out. It reminds me of the scene in Clue where they find the dead body again after finding so many dead bodies and they're just like, go to the other room, see the dead body. It's like, she's Muslim. Does that count? We'll find out. We'll see. We'll see how hungry they are. We'll do it for science. But yeah, I just love, I love the lore building of like the trolls are, they follow all these old rules. Like he's putting tires under bridges because trolls live under bridges, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and it's like, oh, they eat the bones of, or they smell the blood of a Christian man. It's like that's what sets them off. And then he comes walking into the big, like the, the bear suit that's like a suit of armor. I think, yeah, when he's under the, yes, because he has to take the blood from the troll. And so to do that, he has this giant, ridiculous syringe. Yeah. Just goofy. Yeah. Just goofy. I can tell they had a lot of fun making the movie, but it's, it's good. It's a romp. Yeah, it is. And yeah, it hits on all those, to me, I mean, I put the word Tolkien -esque in my notes of like, it hits the Tolkien -esque tropes. I mean, obviously it goes further than that, further back from that, like folk tales of trolls, but you also, I got to put like the Hobbit vibe, you know, the trolls turning into stone. Turning into stone. Yeah. But with like a tinge of bureaucracy. Yeah. There's a little bit of like that sort of, I don't know, pseudo X -Files thing of like, we've got to cover this up, you know, the government's got to step in and never happened. But, you know, of course that's exactly what it would look like if the government did have a troll hunting agency is he would have to fill out this form of like troll extermination. Yeah. But yeah, it's not some guys in some bad -ass car in black suits, it's like some guy in a Saab with a vest on like, oh yeah, let me see your footage over there. I'm going to have to delete your camera. It also reminded me somewhat of Blade where they're like fighting some old, you know, folkloric beast with like all the tech of today. It was just like, but on a shoestring budget, like Blade and Whistler where they're like, we're not exactly the March of Dimes or Hellboy. Yeah. We're just grabbing stuff. Well, no, Hellboy had a whole, you know, like a group behind him. I don't know, Blade had some cool tech though. Blade did. And a bad -ass car. But they were, you know, just a shoestring budget trying to, they're upset that their department doesn't get more funding. Right. They're like, this is what we got. He's just, he's like, I'm tired. I don't get vacation. Like, I just, I don't care. Yeah, you can film me. I don't care. I go where I'm needed. Great weather. I have that in my notes. I was like, I feel like Travis. I'm watching Sun and like in for my like rating, it's like, this is good weather. This is like good, foggy, rainy weather. I love it. And you know, they cut to like the mountains and the kind of cool, misty, you know, again, like Lord of the Rings vibe, the cool, misty mountains. And it's like good weather, you know? Yeah. I felt right at home in this flick. And I love, like you said that. Yeah, I've been saying that for years. You said like Quint from Jaws. That's exactly what I was thinking, too, is that when they have to, when they were filming him from afar, you know, found footage films are kind of difficult to do ever since what Blair Witch Project, obviously quintessential. Cloverfield also did it well. I love a giant kaiju monster. Paranormal activity? I have never seen any of the paranormals. Well, maybe I'm kind of a giant pussy. Come on. OK, well, hey, we got October coming up. That's true. But I think there's oh, I might have seen the end of quarantine, the one where there's like zombies. There's like a fire or something and news crew goes in there and they have to close. They have to quarantine the building or something. They're like, shit, there's something in here with us. I think I've seen that. Maybe. So I've heard good things about that. And it was a remake of a foreign film, I think. But those Quarantinos. Yes. But I hadn't seen a found footage from Robert Rodriguez's band. Yeah, I hadn't seen a found footage film in a while. And this one was actually the reason I got Netflix, because I was stealing my brother's Netflix. He was trying to watch something at the same time. And I was like, ah, fuck it. Fine, I'm going to buy it. So I watched this whenever it was on Netflix and I had heard good things about it. Which it's not anymore. Yeah, it's not. Couldn't find that anywhere. Bastards. Yeah, but I love the the fact that, you know, with not a huge budget, they're able to do more with less. I mean, all their money obviously went into the special effects and the trolls, which looked damn good. They looked really good. Yeah. You would think with this on paper, you're like, this is not going to be great. But it. Yeah, it looked lovely. It's a huge, giant fucking Godzilla troll at the end. First of all, where the fuck is he sleeping? Like how is he in the mountains? He's in the mountains. Yeah. But God, that thing's dick as big as a 40 foot long school bus. I don't know. I'm at school. I just said bus. I don't know why I said school bus. But yeah, I loved Hans in it. He was just fed up and was like, fuck this. But I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw it. And then there's a pseudo, not a sequel exactly, but kind of along the same vein, a movie named Just Troll came out in 2022.

A highlight from The God Who Keeps His Promises
"Welcome to the podcast of first presbyterian church of gulfport, mississippi to learn more about our church our beliefs And our pastor, please visit fpcgulfport .org Throughout the old testament god made a series of incredible promises Promises that defied his people's expectations And in his time he fulfilled every last one of them in today's study of first kings 8 We'll consider the god who always keeps his promises Including those that he's made to you and I You know one of the very lowest or worst times for god's people Occurred back in the book of numbers is in the wilderness god's people were in the wilderness now Why were they in the wilderness? Well, they're in the wilderness because that's where they chose to be You see if you remember the story god had told them I have made you i've created i've set aside for you a promised land It's yours go for it And so they sent in spies to check it out to see what it was like to see if they indeed could take it However, when the spies reported back the majority of the spies said no way They said the land is great. No problems there. The land is great the problem is There are giants there. The problem is we're just a bunch of people in the wilderness They've got cities like jericho with walls that are high. They've got armaments. They've got soldiers who stand one and a half times above us God may have told us to go there, but we can't because we'll die And so they spent their time in the wilderness. And in fact a whole generation died out Of that level of distrust or lack of confidence what god told them to do So they're wandering in the wilderness. That's what made the book of numbers so sad They're in a place No one wants to go doing things that they shouldn't be doing and they do it for a whole Generation and they did it based on fear They did it on the basis of that. We just can't do what god has told us to do We know god is strong. I mean, of course, he's strong. Look what he did to pharaoh. He brought all those plagues 10 of them and yet And yet he won't do that for us. I mean he did it back then but You know that was then this is now They had enough faith to remember moses. They had enough corporate honesty to know what happened In their recent past and yet they didn't have enough faith to think that what god did in the past had any bearing on What he would do in the future god says go into the land. They say no We'll die despite the fact That one generation earlier god had literally swapped the armies of pharaoh under the red sea that god had brought down all these plagues If you're god, you're thinking to yourself, you know, I think i've made a pretty good case for myself Am I willingness to protect you? What are you doing? But the people were were fearful They're anxious God had made them a promise They just doubted his ability to come through on it Is that where you're at matters of faith a whole generation of israelites That's where they were at They had enough faith to believe god was there Do you believe god's there I hope so The problem was not that they didn't believe he was there And their problem was not that they didn't believe he'd done some really cool things a long time ago. The problem was They didn't think they would come through for them in this particular instance. No matter what he had said. They knew he'd promised They just doubted the reliability of that promise and for some of us That's our concern We don't doubt god exists. We know he's there Sometimes we doubt whether he loves us enough to count us in that promise And other times we just doubt whether he's actually going to do the very things that he said that he was going to do Well today's text we're seeing psalm is stopping the presses. He's taking the people by the lapel He's shaking him and saying dear heavens. Do you see what god has done? Not a word failed Of what he said not a word not a syllable has failed what he said he would do And he made some of the most amazing promises You could possibly make to people who are in no position to believe that they'd ever be received He told abram old abram and old sarah that they'd have a not just a kid But a progeny the more numerous than the stars in the sky It was a promise seemed unbelievable to fulfill and he fulfilled it to a t He's done everything that he would say he would do and the reason that was important for them And the reason that's important to us is because he's made you a promise, too He's made you a promise about your future And the question is can he come through will he come through In today's text psalm wanted to encourage his people and god wants to encourage us that the answer is yes Let's look at the first couple verses. Let's start with verse 54. Then. Let's work our way through the balance verse 54 And so it was when solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the lord That he rose up from before the altar of the lord from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up To heaven All right. Let's stop there in the verses immediately preceding today's passage The temple was done it had taken a while But the temple is now done and king solomon if you read earlier in chapter eight, he had prayed a lengthy prayer That's okay. He had a lot to say so he praised this lengthy prayer and during this prayer. He'd recounted god's faithfulness Sometimes that's okay, too We pray to god and we thank god and we remind god of what he already knows the things that he's done And by virtue of us reminding him of what he already knows we remind ourselves of what we need to hold on to going forward So he prayed this lengthy prayer and then he rises up and stands but as he stands he swivels And he looks out a bunch of folks whose faith was probably like a sine curve Ups and downs from person to person maybe from day to day maybe from hour to hour Solomon was looking at those who had doubts and anxieties not that different from those that many of us had He's also looking at some folks that he knew to be hard -headed You ever read moses experiences in deuteronomy ministering to god's people just hard -headed people David had had the same experience psalm and already as a young king. He had seen the same thing the people are hard -headed They not only tended to reject a lot of things that the prophets and leaders said But they also tended to reject what god had said, but god had still been faithful That was part of his prayer. Thank you god You've been so faithful we've been such such goofs we've done all the things we shouldn't do we've really messed up But you've never let us down You fulfilled everything to a t meanwhile. We're just staggering around the wilderness Even as they'd come into the promised land It's still their faith was like a sine curve and psalm praises says god. Thank you that you don't operate the way that we do Thank you that your promises are reliable So in verse 54, he wraps up this prayer and now again as he swiveled to talk to the people He wants to both encourage them and to challenge them. Let's see what he says in verses 55 and 56 Verse 55 then he stood and he blessed all the assembly of israel with a loud voice sang Blessed be the lord who has given rest to his people israel according to all that he has promised There's not failed one word of all his good promise which he promised through his servant moses If someone were to make you a promise What's the first thing your brain does? So it makes you a promise. What's the first thing you do? Well, here's the first thing I do You think through and you say well what other promises have you made in the past? Because I think i'm going to adjudicate Your ability and willingness to come through on this particular issue On the basis of whether you came through on other issues If someone makes you a promise you immediately you can't help it you think of the track record You think is this a reliable source? Of information promises and the like we consider a new promise in light of what has been done with the old ones Well in verses 55 and 56 Solomon says look there are still better promises yet ahead if you think that this promised land is cool Just wait till you see what is yet to come there's better promises of a better land. There's a better moses coming down the road There's all sorts of stuff in the future that we have to hold on to By faith and in order to believe those promises of that outcome you need to look back and ask Did god come through and what he already said he would do and in verses 55 and 56 he says yes He says look god said some amazing stuff in the past And he delivered he delivered on things that seemed impossible for him to fulfill and so with a loud voice in verse 55 He basically tells the people he says You are the most fortunate of all people because your god Unlike the gods of the philistines and the canadites and the moabites and the amorites and the hitites and the jebusites and every other Ite he says unlike them your god has an unbroken track record Unlike the pagan prophecies and pagan gods of stone and marble and wood That have failed consistently habitually That have let down the very people who have bent the knee to them unlike those people You have a god who came through on every last thing he told you he would Blessed be you and blessed be the name of the lord And he wanted them to remember some of the things that god had done in fact, that's healthy. That's why we read the book That's why we study the old testament And the new as we understand we remember what god has done and how that applies to us We think about the things he did how amazing they were and if he did those amazing things Maybe yet there'll be a resurrection from the dead. Maybe yet We'll all go to heaven. Maybe yet all the things for the future will be fulfilled if he's done all these things in the past You know, as we said some of the things that god promised Defied expectations and the belief of everyone who heard them at the outset I already mentioned abraham and sarah You take the old couple tell them that they're going to have a child and they've been barren all these years and where time has passed Sarah's reaction. I was just to laugh it seemed utterly implausible God made them a promise that seemed utterly implausible and yet he he came through Psalm looked out and saw the descendants He saw the fulfillment of this one promise Think even further back think of noah god promised to this one guy this one Paragon of virtue and just a sea of apostasy and unrighteousness he says it's going to rain But you're going to make it because you're going to build a boat However, it's not going to be just any boat You're going to build a boat big enough to fit all the creatures within the creative realm within it now dear heavens If there is a promise that just defies expectation and belief that it could ever be fulfilled. This is it Of course noah trusted god and went about building a boat in god's time It was filled with animals and god's time the rain came God made a promise that defied expectation then then he fulfilled it Just after the time of when they entered the promised land they came up to the city that god's people You know, they crossed the jordan they come in. All right, so we're in the promised land. Uh -oh. Uh -oh What's that big city with a big wall just right over there? Oh my stars. We made it across the jordan We're in the promised land, but now surely we're gonna die God says no, I promised you got this you got this I got this i'll take you through this And they're like, well how we don't have any weaponry We barely made it across the jordan. We've been in the wilderness. We don't look at that wall And god says hey and rolls up his sleeves. So this is proverbial sleeve so to speak and says tell you what Just march around the city playing the instruments in the light Do that. Sometimes the wall is going to come down who would believe that? Well, they did And god responded God made a promise and god delivered Back in deuteronomy 12 god had said this he says when you cross over the jordan and dwell in the land Which lord your god's giving you to inherit and he gives you rest from all your enemies all around so that you dwell in safely Then there will be the place with lord God your god chooses to make his name abide in deuteronomy 12 written during the time of moses long time before solomon God says this is going to be a future you're going to have a place and there's going to be a temple and in that temple My name will abide well again Psalms looking out at people who had anxieties about what would god do in the future and he says, please Look what he did in the past Please if you have anxiety about what the future holds if you have trouble believing Aspects of what the future the promised future to the church as a whole or use an individual, please Look at what he did in the past and see how he came through and understand. Nothing's impossible In fact god honestly a hundred percent delights in doing things you don't expect in ways that you wouldn't expect That's just the way he operates So he says here just hear the promises evaluate the promises against promises of old and understand That there is a track record that you can turn to whenever doubts strike whenever these concerns come to mind So in verses 55 and 56, this is what he's saying and he goes even further than that He says not only has god fulfilled all his promises, but not a word of them has failed It's not like he did everything in the abstract that yeah, he delivered, you know largely what he said he was going to do You're at a contractor If a contractor is going to build a house or you know Put up a shed or doing a number of different things and they go out They start to work on the thing and so forth and then when you're done you look and you say well He did largely what he said he was going to do. I mean, I don't love everything It's not all perfect, but it largely honored what he said That's the way most contracts with most individuals and everything work largely they're fulfilled Solomon says the contract the covenant the promises that god has made. It's not just that he fulfilled them largely He fulfilled them to the letter not a word had failed of all the impossible things That god told his people to expect unbroken track record. Let's look at verses 57 through 60 verse 57 And so may the lord our god Be with us as he was with our fathers May the lord god who did all that stuff long time ago to people that generations earlier May he do to us as he is done with them May he not leave us nor forsake us that he may incline our hearts to himself to walk in his ways to keep his commandments And statutes and judgments that he commanded to our fathers and made these words of mine with which i've made supplication before the lord Be near the lord our god day and night that he may maintain the cause of a servant and the cause of his people israel As each day may require god is the god of every day of your life Not just god of this whole thing or god of when you're finally saved and on the other side. He's god now Whatever you're doing today this week He is the god of this day verse 60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that there is a lord That the lord is god and there is no other All right. Let me ask you a different question. I asked one earlier. Let me ask you something different Have you ever had someone that you've loved or trusted? Leave you Have you ever had someone that you've loved or trusted leave you volitionally Have you had someone that you've loved or trusted walk away from you or reject you Neglect you although you needed them There's few heartaches for those who can relate to that There's few heartaches as great as being left by those that we love It can be just heart -rending to have someone's presence in your life there for a season and then in a different season in your Life when you desperately need them They're not there If you've experienced that You may find that even months or years later that the hole hasn't gone away It still hurts With that said notice what solomon said in verses 57 through 60 He said may the lord our god Be with us as with our fathers. May he not leave us or ever forsake us You know the gods of the pagans disappeared at times They went off and did their own thing, which is why elijah mocked bale and the others perhaps your god is sleepy We need to wake him up is what he told on mount karma what he told the prophets of bale The pagans had gods that could go away for a season the greek same deal That gods would be busy up on mount olympus, maybe they'd care for you one day maybe they wouldn't But here solomon tells his people and god tells us That he's with us just as he was with our fathers just as he was with moses Whether you're here your name is bob or stew or frank or fran God's with you. God's with you every bit as much as he was with moses That's an encouraging thought because We don't feel like moses most of the time But his presence is with us his presence is with our church And so solomon says, you know if we understand that and we cleave to him our future is bright It's so bright because the right man is on our side the man king. Jesus The right man is on our side, you know, even if the whole world should turn against you Which given enough time it might Even the whole world should turn against you. God won't even if every other promise is broken If even if every loyal friend breaks ranks with you in the time that they come god won't And when you're hurting in that midnight hour when you feel all alone, he says i'm with you And we got this together I'm with you and we got this. All right, let's look at our last verse verse 61 our last verse So now he's encouraging the people about how to respond to these promises and god's presence and the like verse 61 He tells the people and you can imagine his hands that he says it he says let your heart therefore Be loyal to lord our god Let your heart therefore be loyal to lord our god to walk in his statutes and keep his commandments as it is this day This is a benediction of sorts it's a blessing It's also an exhortation And in this exhortation king solomon tells people what he told them previously He says if we believe all this to be true if we believe there is a god in heaven if we believe that he loves us If we believe he's told us how to live Then the evidence of that belief is not simply what we profess with our mouth the israelis profess things all the time That wasn't their problem It's what they did with it how they acted how they responded Remember, we've talked about the difference between orthodoxy and orthopraxy orthodoxy is the easy part orthodoxy is just accepting propositional theological truth And saying amen. Amen what's harder is going out those doors and acting accordingly So solomon he puts his hands out and says hey Aaa Be careful to be loyal to our god and to keep his statutes his laws and his judgments Let me ask you do you remember you remember what your first car was? I got in trouble. I talked about cars recently What was it pinto? Was that what it was something like that? I got in trouble I called out a car and someone said that was my car. So i'm not gonna do that I'll call out my first car. My first car was a brown mazda b2000 pickup Man alive they were a lot smaller and they're making pickups these days pickups these days or something else You know, I had this little thing going down the road and like so I had this mazda b2000 pickup now I did love the car. It was my first car So of course, I loved it and I waxed it and polished it and shined it and like at first Then I went to college and still had the car and I had other priorities or other things that interested me other pursuits for my time and suddenly it wasn't even just a lack of washing the car Other things like I don't know oil changes just things that you just should do, you know, the common sense stuff I was like nah this This car hasn't let me down before right? I mean, I didn't give it an oil change in the last month So it probably doesn't need this one month. Well kick that forward a while. What happens i'll tell you what happens It ends up with me on i -5 north of eugene oregon on the side of the road having Say flipped a rod. I'm those you know cars better. I don't know what happened bruised a rod broke a rod Whatever there was a rod involved and it stopped working And so the car stopped working and it never drove again. That was it I kissed a goodbye it went on a tow truck and it was and it was gone We tend to prioritize the things that are important to us It's easy to ascend to propositional truth when it's right in front of us the people there at that time With the new temple and the hurrahs and you know the celebrations and the dinner on the grounds They were having back in this day. The people were excited. It wasn't hard to get them excited It wasn't hard for them to get amen and all that the hard part was in nurturing and caring For that which god entrusted to them down the road and for prioritizing the same things through their actions that they prioritize with their lips Right here and the sad thing was that they wouldn't When I say this is the high point of israel's history up to this point i've been it What does that imply? It implies that things got worse Which they did God made a promise I got you I got you in your future And they had made promises to the differences. They didn't keep theirs And so they backslid in the most egregious of ways to the point to the sad point as we studied in our review of ezekiel Last year whenever it was To the sad point that the same god who came to dwell in this temple in first kings chapter 8 would leave it and ezekiel 10 He would depart the temple leave it as ikabat empty of his glory There's things that have been trusted to matters of faith if you're a parent if you're a father There's things that have been entrusted to you to look out after your loved ones to nurture their faith To take care of their faith to take care of your own faith so that it doesn't get broken down on the side of the road When life circumstances throw you a curveball, which is inevitable There's bins in the road. You can't see coming So The way that we grow and sustain our faith is by immersing ourselves in the faith by doing what god has Said all right before we wrap up or in closing here I want you to notice at the very end of verse 61 He says something interesting and at first when I looked at this text a few years ago I missed it, but I don't want to miss it today verse 61 He said let your heart therefore be loyal to the lord our god to walk in the statutes and keep his commandments And then he adds these four words as at this day Solomon knew the people's history He wanted them to have that particular day emblazoned on their mind to do that Which they had promised to do that day in the time yet to come and yet As we said just a moment ago They wouldn't Roughly 400 years later after this text That day would be a distant memory and they would have forgotten it 400 years later there would be no more cheering There would only be what we call lamentation There would only be disaster Roughly 400 years later as we said before god's glory would depart the babylonians would show up. That's a bad trade They gave up the glory of god. They received the babylonians Ezekiel 10 says this the glory lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim and the cherubim mounted up from the earth in his sight Same temple look Can that happen to a church to a denomination a nation? Yes, yes, and yes It can happen if we don't keep the first things first It can happen if we don't prioritize that which we're called to prioritize It can happen if we stop trusting god and start trusting ourselves It can happen if we ignore what god has said in his word And start coming up with our own precepts and following the wills and wants of our own hearts In this passage that we've read today Solomon god through psalm is reminding the people that hey, there's some intentionality i've made you a promise and yet and yet There is a degree of intentionality on your part That your future is going to be heavily predicated upon. What will it be? What will it be are you going to be zealous to do the very things that you promised me on First kings 8 that you promised you say you're going to do you say amen. Amen. Are you going to do that? You won't if you're not intentional about it and in time In time the temple might be empty and in time churches or denominations can follow suit and if you don't think that's possible Go to europe Go to new england Just see places that once not that long ago resonated that once With at least a cultural religiosity And all likelihood of something far stronger now be turned to just empty husks of what they once were If it could happen in israel if it could happen in europe if it happened to england it could happen in the bible belt Our responsibility Is to cling to that which god has delivered us once for all through the saints And to champion no matter what the world tells us no matter what's going on in the culture around us Let the culture go to the wind This is what we're called to adhere to and salman put it before the people in an old testament context Said do this and live The same is true for us Let's pray Join, dr.

Once an engine passes 75,000 miles, the effects of wear, friction, heat, and deposits start to show. If engine parts aren't properly protected, they can wear down and lead to reduced gas mileage, lower horsepower, and a shorter engine life. Most motor oils claim they protect against wear, but in some cases the protective film can be thin and uneven, providing inadequate protection. And Valvoline extended protection full synthetic high mileage motor oil provides the ultimate protection for engines with 75,000 miles or more. I use Valvoline in my cars, but you know who else does?

"By the time bob hall met, kenichi Yamamoto in 1976, kenichi had lived a whole life at Mazda, and bob was just starting his professional one. But despite their 30 year age difference, the two hit it off. Similarly enthusiastic and determined car nerds, bob and kenichi had complimentary sensibilities and a passion for the craft. In 1978, as the new West Coast editor for auto week magazine, bob went on another one of his trans Pacific journeys. It was on this trip that kenichi now the head of R&D for Mazda would ask bob a fateful question. What should we make next? That's crazy that that ever happened. Yeah. That means that we could eventually influence the building of a car at some point, right? Get me in at Mitsubishi. I can't wait to be asked that question. Yeah, and he went on to design the first three wheel day whoo. In some ways, bob was waiting his whole life to be asked this question, and kenichi had simply opened the door form. The young editor even hopped out of his chair to draw blueprint of his idea on a blackboard. This guy's extra. Inspired by the drawer rides, he took with his dad, Mitchell hall, Mitch hall, bob recalls his answer, quote, shifted into overdrive. I babbled at 70 mph in a trans Pacific hodgepodge of English and Japanese, how the RX-7 is a neat car. An a plus sports car. But the simple bugs in the teeth wind in the hair classically British sports car doesn't exist anymore. I told mister Yamamoto that someone should build one. He put on his poker face, so I had no idea whether or not the idea was sinking in. unusual for kenichi to ask someone their opinion of Mazda's future. Journalist Don Sherman recalled kenichi's welcoming effect. Quote, he'd greet you like a long lost friend, and he'd ask you basic questions like, what should Mazda do? Where should Mazda go? Do you think there's any place for cork in this car? Do you think Zoom Zoom is a good marketing point? Shove a little kid wearing a suit. But bob's answer was unusual. Mostly because this ideal British roadster, particularly something affordable, was basically dead. Still, kenichi took a photo of the drawing to memorialize it, but didn't give any of his thoughts away. The two retired for the evening. After bob's trip to Japan, he couldn't get this idea out of his head. The affordable roadster. In the late 70s, the heyday of sports cars was at an end. Fun to drive an affordable roadsters like the lotus Elon or the MGB roadster were being discontinued or stripped of their engine power in the name of fuel economy and safety. Even though Mazda just launched the RX-7 with its coupe and convertible models, it was expensive, and much more reminiscent of a Porsche than a roadster. It is ironic that the British roadster is such a cliche, but an icon because it rains a lot. It's true. That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Not a lot of sunshine over there. And you want to know what? I am a Miata guy, but I also own a 1979 MG midget. What? What? Yep. Wearing my mom's garage in Ohio. Oh, wow. I learned something new about job every day, and I become more envious with each onion. What? Are we on the same page or are we on the same page? It seems like we're on the same page. Wow. Bob thought there had to be a way to keep his favorite childhood car alive. Roadsters were the rides that made him fall in love with cars in the first place, and he couldn't bear to see them fade into obscurity or be reserved for the wealthy. And soon, he'd get a chance to make it happen himself. In 1981, 28 year old bob's dream of working for Mazda became a reality. He was hired to work at Mazda North America, mana in their product planning and research department in Southern California. Though he was brought in to work on the B series pickup, a surprise visit by his old friend kenichi Yamamoto reignited bob's main passion. You know, it's weird is this is gonna sound really nerdy unless you're a huge baseball fan. Mazda is the U Darvish. Oh yeah, you Darvish. He's Iranian Japanese and he broke into the American market. And he plays for a California team. He's a baseball player. I take it. Yeah, yeah. He's really 6 foot 5 throws 99. You Darvish is a fun name. Yes. When going over the team's progress, kenichi looked at bob and said, hey, what about your lightweight sports car? Why don't you study that? Bob didn't need more than that. I bet it's supervisor like that where it's like, hey, we got bob work. He's really helping out on this truck design. The boss comes in, hey, how about you? Go do something else. Yeah, you know where I want you over here. Bob didn't need more than that. He dug right in, creating a multi page manifesto entitled what is a sports car to an American? That had a central thesis, sports cars must have a degree of performance, but more importantly, they must be fun to drive. Bob determined that didn't mean the car had to have crazy specs or go zero to 60 in 8.5 seconds, which used to be fast, but it had to feel that way. And I had to look cool with his manifesto in handy. He went down to the mailroom and got to work. Wait, what stock Miata is zero to 60? 8.8. Yeah, it doesn't have to go 8.5. You go 8.8. It'll be fine. Bob proposed recycling existing components Mazda had already designed as a cost saving measure. They could give their new car a four cylinder engine, rear axle, and manual transmission. But bob was adamant that it would be a front engine rear wheel drive setup. Otherwise, it wouldn't be true to its British roadster roots. Bob's essay made waves with the Japanese company man at Mazda, but the go ahead to start developing the car had not yet been given. That wouldn't happen until two engineers in the experimental department got their boss kenichi Yamamoto to take a business trip to Tokyo. And they convinced him to drive a British roadster the triumph Spitfire through the mountains instead of wasting away in traffic. Feeling the wind in his hair and taking turns through the mountain roads kenichi caught the roadster bug, and he knew Mazda needed to have one of these cars. In 1983, kenichi handed his directive to the general manager of product planning in Japan, one missionary yamauchi. Kenichi wanted the lightweight sports car that so many within the company were clamoring for. And kenichi had now experienced. The next question was, what to build? Bob hall had submitted his idealized proposal, but that wasn't a plan. And multiple teams in Japan also had their ideas about what kind of roadster Mazda should build. Yamauchi devised a contest between the Japanese and North American studios to decide the build, and bob hall couldn't be happier. There was only one problem. Bob hall was an enthusiast. Uh oh. And though he was maybe one of the most enthusiastic enthusiasts there ever was, he didn't have the design pedigree needed to tackle this task. The man did not go to engineering school. This guy is just Jimmy. The L WS or lightweight sports car became mana's top priority and assembling the right team became paramount. Mark Jordan became bob's first Mark. Mark was a high pedigree designer who had worked at GM and was busy toiling away at opal, one of GM's European support. And then they got Chris Pippen. Mark was trying to get a superiors to resurrect the roadster. That is, until bob convinced him to join Mazda. Knowing that the project was in motion, marked hopped over. So he's already at General Motors trying to get on roadster going. And

"Use Valvoline in my car and you should too. So go on and get some Valvoline oil. 1989, the first episode of Seinfeld had just aired, game boys are flying off the shelves, and the Berlin Wall was about to fall. Mister Gorbachev tear down this wall. But for car enthusiasts everywhere, 19 89 will be remembered for something even bigger. Or is smelly. It was the year that the Mazda MX-5 was released in the United States. In Santa Monica, a customer with a briefcase stuffed with $25,000 rolled up to Kramer Mazda to offer $7000 above the ticket price. In Fort Lauderdale, a German tourist bought one Miata in order two more for later. A lawyer in Detroit, moments from leaving for a family vacation, told his wife and kids to hold up. His Miata had finally come in, and he had to pick it up. He was so excited to get the car, he brought the dealership a bottle of champagne. The world had its first case of Miata madness, and it was contagious. But how did the Miata become one of the most beloved two seaters of all time? Who are the people who brought it to life? And how did a Japanese company end up making the ideal British roadster? Today I'm past gas, it's the origin story of the Mazda Miata. Pastas podcast is the course it's not about forts. Their German guy orders miatas like I order hamburgers. Do you guys like miatas? Yeah, big time. I was actually just looking at Craigslist for some yesterday. Correct. You're on Greg's list. That's cool. Hey, welcome to past gas everybody. My name is Nolan Sykes. I'm joined by Joe Weber. Give me out. And Zachary jobe. Zach is filling in for James this week. Zach, one of our resident Mazda Miata experts, if you watch the YouTube channel, you know. Zack spent a lot of time in his garage, working on our Mazda Miata, the money pit. Job, what are your impressions of the Mazda Miata? Well, it's a very fun car. The legend is true. All the hype is real. Miata is always the answer. The great cars are a lot of fun and especially when your turbo charger. Yeah. I remember the first time I drove one was in 2016, I want to say my buddy had just bought one and he didn't know how to drive stick. So I got to drive it back to his house. Nice. That's cool. I want to say like Culver City. That happens a lot more than you'd think. Like my friend bought a VW bus and was like, hey, I'm going to need someone to drive with me to Palm Springs so they can drive this van back. Yeah. That makes sense. It's okay. But it's just so weird to me that you would buy a car without driving it first, you know? Hey, don't let anything hold you back. Yeah. Follow your dreams. Follow your dreams, buy a stick, shift car, even if you don't know how to drive. You'll figure it out. It's okay. Yeah. Yeah, it was an NB. I love the NBA out of the second generation. Looks like a little baby Dodge Viper. And he had one of those. Eddie had one of those. Eddie, one of our director of money pit. One of the OGs, big time Miata guy. We did another money pit where he lifted Eddie's Miata. That's what I was gonna offer at tires. We also did a head gasket on it in his driveway. That's right. Our coworker Jimmy has a bunch of miatas or has had a bunch of miatas. He's so into them special. The Miata is very special in the donut family, I think. It's one of those special cars. Yeah, the donut cannon, thank you. Very special car. Donut cam would be tight to bring to one of our live shows. Just shoot donuts out of it? Donuts and merch at the 70 pounds in a T-shirt. Like firing out of that once? Yeah, like a buff horse shirt hits you in the head and shortly after like a jelly glaze. Yeah. Unfortunately, I feel like I'm kind of too big for the Miata these days. I got in the money pit a couple of weeks ago and my head is above the windshield. Not a comfortable feeling. Yeah. Got a long torso. Law enforce or short legs. Tiny legs. Shorter legs, long torso. He looks like two 6 year old stacked up on here. I think you can get a torso shortening procedure. Yeah. The other way and get your legs lengthened? No, no, no, no. You want to be able to drive a Miata. Yeah. I've looked into it. It's very expensive and insurance doesn't cover it because it's considered a cosmetic procedure. It's really too bad. That's what Marilyn Manson was just going to say. All right, let's start his insurance to cover the river removal. All right, that's a throwback. I'm glad we're on the same page. All right, let's get into the history of the Mazda. In order to know how Mazda built the Miata, you need to know about a man named bob hall. Bob all. It's one of the world's great passionate card nerds. And lucky for us, he's also very persistent. If he wasn't, this car may have never seen the light of day. Bob hall was born in Los Angeles in 1953, along with his identical twin brother Jim. I would hope so. The twins had a good upbringing under the care of their father, Mitchell. Mitchell himself had developed an appreciation for imported vehicles during his time as a B 25 bomber during World War II, and passed on his love for automobiles to his boys, guys. We all know the B 25. Yeah. They did that song, love shack. Is it B-52? No, that came along a lot later. Okay. Yeah. And my joke still stands. All family lore says that bob's dad, Mitchell. I feel like the B 25 was also called the Mitchell. Really? And Mitchell is close to Mitch hall. I was thinking that he's kind of a redundant name. B 25 bomber. It is a Mitchell. Wow. Interesting. Follow the money on this one. Anyway, Paul family Laura says that bob's dad, Mitchell, was idling a stoplight behind the wheel of his Morris minor convertible. When the driver next to him, in a red MG TD, asked if they could swap. Permanently. What? The TD driver's wife had told the driver that he couldn't come home until he came back with the respectable family car. Even though Mitchell hall also had a family at home, he figured he couldn't pass up the opportunity, and the boys loved that MG TD. MG a British company, British roadster. Yeah, this was this TD is a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be. It's not the tiny MG that. No, but they're still pretty small. My uncle actually had a TD and a TF. Wow. They're still pretty small, but they do look bigger. But they're in reality tiny. This looks like it looks like an old timey Great Gatsby car. Yeah. But it's a small little sports car. Your head would stick way above that. Way out. On account of

"To talk about ahmadi in all this. We see that even if you build the best car with the best engine sometimes factors bigger than a single car company global politics an economic collapse an oversaturation of the market means. It doesn't matter how good a car is a probably never had a shot but we'll never know maybe mahdi live again. Mazda could use a reboot of some sort with the future of cars looking increasingly electric and infinity recently announcing its entire range will be electric or hybrid. Maybe a twenty thirty one. All electric version of ahmadi could be in the future interesting. I have a hot take. What's your heartache james. So like even though all of these other japanese luxury brands were intended for the american market. they were very jap. They are very japanese. Like lexus is very much toyota. Acura is very much honda to the extent that like they sell lexus and acura models in japan as toyota and honda. I think mazda allowing ford to be. It's daddy ruined any chance of a mighty because because like the reason that these japanese car brands work is because they came in and they raise the curve and they were like. Hey america this is. What's possible right so like you know it's like the same reason you don't take money from investors unless you can spend it because you're like diluting your influence like i think ford killed a monte. I think ford is the reason that mazda hasn't made like another rx car and hasn't been as successful as it could have been because like like what was four making the nineties florida's making. Do you think that lincoln at the lincoln of this era could have conflicted with the ahmadi if it would have come out. I don't think they did it on purpose. Necessarily i just think they were like bad at it. And i it seems like mazda gave too much respect and listen to them too much okay. that's my heartache. that could be. That's my real house mazda. Today i mean they're they're independent. They're independent now but like are also like i've been to mazda a number of times and met with them and they're very like yeah we're small and we're good being small like we're okay. I love. I love their current lineup. I think the five is like one of the best cars that you can buy today. I firmly believe that. Yeah casey is a case is one of her friends was like just had a baby and was like what car should i get and they ended up buying a six five. I would have a ceasefire. My mom said two of them They're great cars. Yeah they're design. Language is amazing. It's there some of the best looking Economy cars and quotes there. One of the best looking affordable cars. I tried to get my little sister by five. Because you know like if you if you ask. People that don't have cars as their hobbies. What they want in a car. They all described the five. Like short not huge. So you can park it But enough space that you can utilize it in that sense and then you know like not severe design language enough like it's it's a car for the masses and i want i want all the tech stuff yep from like nice cars and nice interior. That makes me feel proud of myself. Because i'm buying a new car so it's the amati wasn't mazda. It it was kind of. I wonder where it would have been if mazda would have been around today if they would've you know bit the bullet and went through with this project so i am glad that they didn't yeah.

"Many people also think that the second generation mazda send tia that launched in one thousand nine hundred five is the amati. One thousand body repurpose with a mazda. Jv six and the santita mechanical foundation the v twelve engine mazas developing for ahmadi. As different story there were already gearing up to build the ahmad v twelve engine and had the assembly line ready to go mazda. Wanted to find another way to use this engine. The american division of mazda drew up a veto power to plus two that was fully mocked up but ford who had bought controlling shares in mazda cancelled the project because ford ruins everything fun. The v twelve engine was fully shelved and never seen by the public. Whoever the website jalopy nick has noted that the proposed v. Twelve concept strongly resembles the mazda. Rx eight which went into production in two thousand three which means basically we have never seen the v twelve but we may have seen the car crazy. Can you imagine a v twelve powered rx eight. I i'm half heart like it moved the six in the mazda amex. Sex is two point. Five liters would have been a five liter v. Twelve rx eight. Wow what ooh aaron. Our buddy aaron. Aaron parker swears that the rx eight is one of the best handling cars in the world. So v twelve powered won't be pretty sick while mazda tried and failed with the mahdi other. Japanese automakers were successful in their endeavors even with the asset price bubble. What made them different. Hauer brands like lexus. So successful while ahmadi was an epic failure. Well one of the major differences between molly and other successful japanese luxury badges was the timing honda toyota and nissan all star working on their luxury brands in the early eighties. Giving them the time to get their foot in the market before the bubble burst they knew there'd be growth in the luxury car market as americans recovered from the recession of the early eighties. And as baby boomers start getting older and having more money. What's that like all these factors combined. Honda launched acura in nineteen eighty six toyota. Lexus and nissan launched infinity in nineteen eighty nine arguably the most successful author was lexus. Yeah toyota start working on their luxury badge in one thousand nine hundred three. The chairman of toyota toyota told the company he wanted them to build the world's best car the project code-named f. one for flagship. One clearly having a cool codename is a big part of getting into the luxury car. Business flagship one developed the lexus. Ls four hundred one of the most important cars in the history. of course. that's right james. The team behind lexus spent time on focus groups and market research. They set up their headquarters. I think design headquarters was in newport. Beach laguna beach. Laguna beach was looking at beach. Thank you james. Like you mentioned earlier. Part of the f. One team rented out in laguna beach right there. It's in the script and took notes on how rich americans spent their money. The f one team also spent time prototype testing on the german autobahn when they said they wanted to build the world's best car. They weren't kidding. Joe that's where mazda got it wrong. They set up their headquarters in glendale outside phoenix outside of feeding. Oh glendale arizona second-best glendale do you know that glendale translates to valley valley glendale both mean valley. I'm gonna say my sons glenn. Dale anyway accurate. Meanwhile was able to capitalize on the market reach of honda to put up impressive numbers in the eighties. In their first year in business they sold over one hundred thousand cars soon. Outpacing the output of companies like mercedes benz bmw and even lexus. While accurate performance would suffer during the last decade. Come acura would see a resurgence in popularity. As their so called tuner cars like the integra became popular with younger customers. Interestingly enough neither accurate nor infiniti nissan's luxury badge were used in the japanese domestic market instead. Honda and nissans higher end. Cars were part of the parent company's lineup. Infinity got off to a slower start than lexus and acura failing to find the same level of enthusiasm for its offerings which lacked the panache of lexus. And acura the brand has never really found its footing announcing in two thousand nine nineteen that it would depart the western european market to focus on china and the united states still at least infinity had a chance on like ahmadi most recognizable infinity that you can think of like the first one that comes to mind for me. It'd be thirty five thirty seven. That's my least little really least favorite car. Yeah you don't like them. I wanted one really bad in highschool i that there are so cool so you just don't like the styling of the g thirty five. I think it looks bad. And then i think like the majority of the g thirty five that i've seen i don't like their modern poorly although a g thirty five sedan with six speed. That's a cool car and love that. That's a cool friggin car. Yeah i don't think that first gen g thirty five is aged super well. It's pretty block easy. The back looks like i liked it back. I like those tail lights. I remember in high school. My buddy voshel. He had g thirty five. He was like a couple years older on the track team. Or a he he did like throwing with me. I was like damn for shawls cool. It was like a gun metal grey but he had like darker gunmetal grey wheels with it. It looks so sick it was tight. I think like the cool older dude in highschool that hangs out with you and likes. Cars is such an influence shirt for the rest of your life like mike mine is like this dude cam and it's dude liam a couple years older me cam had a mark four. Gti with exhaust lowered and wheels on stock wheels and then liam hadn't a black e thirty three twenty five with the plastic bumpers lower on as sev- type as like they're like these chunky five books and to this day. That's the coolest car to me like an e thirty lowered on chunky. Five spokes the coolest car and they smoked cigarettes. We didn't hang out. But like when i saw them at like big rock which was like the park. We all like hung out at like. They'd be like you'll so pump free. How's your gti. I'd be like yeah. That's that's rich. dad. Step mom yeah i had a buick skylark in high school and needless to say i set the trend for the next Frosh coming in as much as mazda had big ambitions. They had bad timing and not enough money in hindsight trying to compete with brands like lexus. And acura seems like a bad idea. But mazda was scrappy and didn't want to admit defeat the combination of the economic downfall of japan over saturation in the luxury car market and not market testing with the real housewives of laguna beach. Maybe ahmadi was destined to fail. Perhaps the biggest point of disappointment around the mighty badge is all of the what could have bins. mazda was so shamed by its failure. We have very little information about the whole project. The only reason we have any information about it is because of very enthusiastic car journalists doing deep dives and former employees of the american side of mazda giving some interviews but mazda destroyed most of the promotional material and refuses.

"Mighty. The plan was to use a v twelve engine using pieces for mazdas existing. V6 program at this point out that the mazda v six was like awesome like it's like a very small displacement visa amex six and a i think some amex threes but like low displacement in ends with a lot of cylinders are like one of my favorite things and the six that mazda had at. This point was super and in my head. This v twelve is awesome. Just two of them put together. Yeah hey do you think it's possible to have the shape of an airplane engine. You know how the cylinders are all like in a circle engine like that. Yeah and put that inside of a rotary engine. No a three cylinder engine in a rotary engine. Can it be made. No that doesn't make any sense is nine hundred. Ninety one by nineteen hundred miles announced the discontinuation of ahmadi. The company was flying high. So what went wrong. Mazda had designers and engineers working on a monte in japan and the us they had a track record with the miata when the team for a modest. Start working in the car there. Two branches one in japan and one in the us naturally from the beginning. There's tension between the mazda offices in the us and the main office in japan for example one of the mazda plants in the us where mazda built cars to avoid import restrictions had quality control problems. Japanese try to blame this on the americans but soon they start building cars at plan japan and had the exact same problems. Oh popcorn the keto bag. Not only that but mazda was a small company with not a lot of extra cash. One former employee said that mazda wouldn't even pay for new notebooks for the engineers come on man and a top off. Mosleh was working on several other brands. And many thoughts stretching itself too thin causing brand confusion. All these factors meant that in nineteen ninety-two ahmadi shut. Its doors bowing to economic pressure. John odell wrote in the los angeles times october. Nineteen ninety-two quote mazda. Motors of america said monday that it's canceling plans launch. It's a modern luxury car. Division in the united states full stop and that was that an amati was no more mazda would never mention the car again. One of the strangest things about the whole saga is to this day. Mazda denied it ever happened. Maybe that's because in japanese culture failure like ahmadi is seen as losing face and mazda did not want to lose face. Never wanna lose your face it. Two thousand nine hundred ninety. One journalist even told not to ask the company about the luxury badge. Because we're still a touchy subject. Or maybe because it was just such a failure. One paper estimated that mazda had spent no less than fifty billion yen about four hundred million dollars in one thousand nine hundred dollars on the brand either way. It's been over. Twenty years and mazda will still not admit to what happened i mean. Why didn't they just do like a three cylinder engine inside of a rotary engine and saves it. Mardi is the name of Like really fancy violent from you. The violin has weirdly enough a three cylinder airplane engine inside of a rotary engine design makes violence sounds good. I just realized mahdi ahmad is a conjugation of a motto and part of my family. Their last name as d'amato so it'd be joe d'amato a mazda a mighty. I'm a notary. Accompany out all. I needed you signature. Let you borrow the stay. Mazda developed so much the mahdi and ended up throwing most of the work away however some of the development for the amati was recycled. What happened to the parts of the ahmadi that did make it into development. Well since mazda will not admit the mahdi ever existed everything is conjecture from carleton through and journalists but we can make some guesses. One of the big saves for the ahmadi badge was in nineteen ninety. Four the yunos eight hundred. The car plan to be released under the mighty badge was renamed the mazda millennia haha and sold in america. The millennia is famous for loving harry potter wearing doing side parts. Yeah you know with the context of it being a possible. Luxury car looks very much like it seems. It looks like a lower level laxest like an. Es it looks like alexis yes. Mazdas sign language at this time was like really weird like it looked really great in like on the rx seven and the miata but like translating it to like their compact cars and especially their sedans like that kind of like low slung very aerodynamic like design language just looked kinda melty. The millennia replaced the mazda. Nine hundred nine. As the brand's flagship car. In america it did not go unnoticed. How luxury this non. Luxury car was with reviews. Noting the millennials quality well above the rest of mazdas fleet even in its advertising. Maza said we put the money into the car and not into luxury into a luxury division and all that overhead. Don't look this up or anything so we did that our purpose. 'cause like we're not gonna start a luxury brand. That would be stupid and dumb so we just did this.

"Through the curve. That's a great analogy. Great analogy takes me back to my bad math days. All right ignore needs their enter the underdog in a business where underdogs almost never prospered. Mazda was a small scrappy company. But they wanted to be bigger. They had less money and resources than toyota and nissan. But those bigger companies also showed high level of success was possible and their goal was to become japan's third. Major automaker mazda had big dreams and insane strategy and not a lot of money to accomplish their goals. What could go wrong. I ask before we talk about the ahmadis failure. We have to talk about of mazda's successful projects. The miata in the spring of nineteen eighty nine mazda launched the miata and it was a hit spurring on the sense of optimism. Within the company that they're experimentation was working in one thousand nine hundred nine the five miata debuted. Mazda had designed proposals from both its japanese and american offices. Mazda ended up going with the american design. This became the amex five. That design was similar to a classic british sports car with its rear wheel drive an engine in the front when the miata was officially released in nineteen ninety it lightly resembled a sixties era loaded. Salon remade for the modern era at launch the amex miata miata was powered by one hundred. Sixteen horsepower one point six liter engine and was solely available with a five speed manual transmission. I'm manual guy. I like shifting gears myself. i'm does like that fourth panel. Am i right guys all four pedals. I use all five of my legs when i drive. It could also be had with power windows and aluminum wheels and ac and speakers in the headrests stuff that makes a car comfortable but no matter how it was equipped the ms five miata was extremely lightweight by modern standards basically great roadster that when it was released won numerous accolades including automobile magazine's nineteen ninety automobile of the year and placing on car and driver's ten best list from nineteen ninety. Two one thousand nine hundred to so good car. Great college and i'd say legendary legendary. The success of the miata got in mazdas head. Made a little company think it could continue to reach and grow and profit off a luxury badge after all no one thought mazda could build a roadster and the miata had been a hit. Clearly mazda. do no wrong. They were about to fly a little too close to the sun with an endeavor that was appropriately named project pegasus.

The video showed a li akhbar advertising a persian mummy for sale. While the pakistani police hadn't found evidence they could use in their murder case. The vhs tape was arguably more incriminating in pakistan. It's highly illegal trade in antiquities. The pakistani government considers it immoral to sell relics for personal profit ancient artifacts freely and rightfully belong to the country and its citizens as part of its shared heritage as such the attempted sale of the relic was a crime and akbar seemed destined for prison but when questioned by police ottmar claimed. The mummy wasn't actually in his possession. He was merely a middleman to save his own skin. He told the cops where they could find the real seller detective for rukh iran and his team followed off bars lead to quetta about four hundred and thirty miles north of karachi.

I asked can middle with you? Yes. I'm stuck in the middle of the height. This is Dick Morris stuck in the middle with you. Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right Here I am. Um, By the way, I read the ad for Patriot Gold Group, which is gold has gone up 11% in silver 17% in the last few months, and like an idiot. I forgot to give you the phone number so called the Patriot Gold Group at 888912. 14 69. That's 888912146988819121469. At the side of the of the show today. I was talking about the system direct, incredible announcement by Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia Democrat that he will not not not not vote to support before the people lack that is the attempt to cast a permanent shadow of fraud over American elections where the Democrats have taken everything that they did in the 2020 election. And suddenly made it illegal. It's like a guy who committed murder, who then passes a law, saying it shall not be unlawful to kill somebody, And that's really what they're trying to do. And until today, there was a risk this would pass. But mansion has come out against it, which means they don't have enough votes. To pass it with to pass it with a simple majority to reconciliation. They're going to have to go the filibuster route, and they'll have no way of getting enough votes for it. And mansion says he will not support an end to the filibuster. We have a call on that from, uh from, uh, Naomi, is that Naomi in New Jersey? How are you? Good afternoon, Mr Dick Morris. You're a great patriot. I really, really, uh I love you, Mr Mr Morris. I love you, too. Oh, you're fabulous. Your fabulous But you know something. I'm a conservative, And I believe that, uh, Joe Manchin is like an old school Democrat. You know, he's not like very radical. And, well, I got news for you know, I mean, if if that if that still existed, I would be one of them. Oh, right. So you know, I believe in, um you know, beautiful miracles happening. And, uh, I'm gonna send him a thank you postcard and put in the flour for me. Absolutely. Waited and enshrined in federal legislation, and now it will not be. And that is entirely due to the statement. Joe Manchin just made now Colin Flanders has a question about affirmative action and love to hear from you. I call Oh, hi there. Um, so, Yeah, I just wanted to quickly touched on the couple of the other points. Uh, that you mentioned earlier. Actually been listening to show just recently. So I only began just recently. This is my second year. Oh, yeah. So that makes sense. But, yes, it just kind of want to touch it with on the points over the kind of affirmative action, and they just kind of want to reiterate. So you said that it was kind of, uh, stooped in that it's It's inaccurate, but that day he didn't earn it right like that. It's It's something that wasn't earned and worked for. Yeah, well, what I'm saying here is that the law has always explicitly been colour blind even during slavery. They didn't mention the word slavery in the Constitution. They just said condition of servitude. They didn't want to say that word. And in the civil rights bill and everything else nobody ever mentions the word black or Hispanic or people of color or minorities they speak about people have been subject to discrimination. I'm saying that we should continue with that that that should be Martin Luther King's legacy, as opposed to BLM Black lives matter Legacy, which is let's confer explicit advantages by name on people of minority races. And so on that, um So you think that because White Americans totally decimated indigenous populations and were pretty much taking ends. Land and using people for labor. You know, you don't think that there's someone owed this because they were marginalized way in the past. Um and that's that's not something that should be repaid later in the future. As it happens, I do feel that they're entitled to, uh, to recompense, not reparations, but recompense and they are we established the the Indian Land Europe. And we currently subsidize, uh, indigenous populations enormously. I think the per capita amount we give per indigenous American is something like 20 or $30,000 a year and we continue to do that, And that is because of the social disruption that they had. But your call, I think concerned affirmative action, and I just want to speak about that. There is also affirmative action that says that we will give a black or Latino, some person preference over a white or an Asian in admission to certain schools or certain contracts with the government. And so on. Now, I'm opposed to that. I believe that it should be color blind. I think that the Priority should be given to people of low income, not people of color. Half of all people who are poverty stricken in the United States are white and 1/6 of all Children who grew up in impoverished households are headed by white men, so affirmative action doesn't reach them. But what Biden's doing now goes way beyond affirmative action because affirmative action never said it was for black people or Latino people. The rationale where the court approved affirmative action was that diversity was an asset that you have a good school. You needed a diverse population, so they supported that. But now they're going further and actually naming, saying that minorities are the only ones who are eligible for loans to the restaurants or for priority and stimulus money or for loan forgiveness in rural areas. Uh.

GM Has a New Logo
"Me set this up for everybody. General motors has a new logo. And it's similar to the old logo. It's still a square box. It has the letters g and m on it. it has 'em on it For those on youtube. Mr bruce's just throwing it up here on our screen we can see. It's it's it's it's it's a rebrand right so the debate going on in the motor one dot com universe is whether this is a good thing a bad thing ridiculous thing a terrible move a smart move. Let me give you a little bit. More background I don't really mind this. Rebrand that much but i also come from a marketing background. I had a marketing career. Long before i went time into journalism. So i i think maybe i get a slightly different viewpoint of the rebranding process and why companies tend to do it But john why don't you lead off because that's the reason you're here john is. John is the one that opposes my viewpoint and wait one second here. I get to play referee here. I get the. I'm calling the balls and strikes if someone starts taking too long. I get veto power. Because my thing is i have a completely different opinion. That both of you. That i will express at the end but comes up in. This discussion of re brands is that we've been seeing a lot of them a lot of the just in the past year i am going to share an image with you guys Is right now of three of them. What we say so. Volkswagen simplifies their emblem. Bmw's simplifies their Nissan simplifies their envelope. All of this has happened in the past year and there are other examples that i can pull up. There's maserati there is a mazda. Oh so this has kind of been bubbling up and then this. Gm one came up and chris in john in our motor one chat kind of started going at things and so i wanna give them the opportunity both to air their feelings about this badge and then when they're done i will come in at the end and give my opinion which is barely different from both pairs. So i'm gonna pop up an image of the gm badge. Actually i the they are going to tell you how they feel about the emmett. Mr neff i yield the floor to the distinguished gentleman. Here the image you popped up the gm the new gm logo Bruce was black and white. It's forgiving that is i would say the best version of the logo. Oh their degree. There's the gradient one which i think adds a level of ridiculousness to the logo so For those not viewing on youtube it is this new. Gm logo with a gradient. That goes from aquamarine blue into like the traditional jam. Blew into another blue All right so my views on this level. When i see it my first impression is that it is juvenile. That's the word. I used that chris and i were arguing over in our chat. I say juvenile. Because i think it looks like Like gm created an iphone app and this was the icon for it Or you know this is something a this looks like the The icon for new adobe software next to your photo shop and your illustrator It's trying to look Hi tack and and Not bleeding edge but more like you know. I'm part of the software revolution Which is true. That's happening in cars. Software and computing power is growing exponentially more important Let me take a note of that really quick. You said it's true. Sure sure that is granted and of course another reason that that the juvenile comes to mind as they went from two capital letters Which is proper grammar for It's an acronym general motors. You know and they went to to lower case letters so that has a juvenile edge to it to me This gradient is ridiculous and a first year. Art student would probably create that in photoshop And some people say like it's supposed to evoke a plug. And i guess i guess that's supposed to be negative space of the m and the underline of the m. Maybe i don't know. I i don't really see i don't get that as a strong message. from the logo. Now when i say it's bad. Like when i say it's bad like i don't think it's the worst thing in the world My perspective is that. If if i were if i were running the company. Or if i were an executive in the boardroom that day i would raise my hand and said we need to rethink this. This is not what we wanna do. that said i don't think logo bruins gm. I don't think. I don't th- i actually don't think logos and names of companies have that much power especially if your product is good. Your product is good. It can overcome a logo or or a bad name. And i say that having worked at a couple of websites that had ridiculous bad names and we're still successful because they were just good websites and people look past the name and just you know they thought of the brand of the site as as what the product is and the name took came on Took on a new meaning. And i think this logo could be the same way you know if gm succeeds in its easy. Revolution will probably look at the logo. with you know in a completely different way than we do today when gm's future plans are all promises and vaporware right now

More Takata Airbags Recalled by Ford

If you're like me and thought this again you're not crazy as it turns out that saga takata has been going on since two thousand fourteen. I wasn't surprised to read in the story that they've gone bankrupt since then. So far. These airbags have caused eighteen deaths and over four hundred injuries to drivers or passengers. I put the complete list of car models covered in this recall in the episode description. But they include some models from lincoln and mazda this.

If you are eligible to cost will be covered by ford meaning. It's free for you. The good news is set. The good news is that this isn't the exact same type of airbag that caused all those deaths and injuries. Apparently these driver's side air bags have a moisture absorbing material that somehow makes it safer. But honestly i'd still get switched out as soon as possible. The thought of my airbags turning into essentially a pipe bomb speaking of things. That seem like they're going on for quite some time. Last week i started

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, rejecting the request, saying the ammonium nitrate propellants used to inflate the devices is showing signs of decay, posing a safety risk.

The Most Reliable Used Cars
"So i've had an obsession forever about why buying a used vehicle is so much better for your wallet than buying new. There are a lot of people who love new vehicle smell. They want that new vehicle and if it works for you financially. That's fine but for most people buying used is gonna be a much better choice but there are people like a vehicle that feels new. And that's why to me. The compromise has been historically a three model year old vehicle. So right now it'd would be twenty eighteen because the twenty one or what out on dealer lots now so when you buy a vehicle. That's three years old. As a general back of the envelope rule it will have lost roughly a third of its value some models substantially more than that others a little less but generally about a third of the value has been wiped out in those first three years even though the life of the vehicle is so today with vehicles running quarter million miles Not at all unusual. That's like normal now where it used to be hundred thousand miles pretty much.

Tesla Model S no longer recommended by Consumer Reports
"The second largest purchase for most of us in our lives or vehicles vehicle we drive and you don't want to do is spend a lot of money on a new or used vehicle and be on a first name basis with the mechanic you want that vehicle to work with the most respected survey of reliability each year is the one done by consumer reports and consumer reports takes thorough data from. I think it's more than a million car owners to develop a list of the most reliable brands to the lease reliable of all brands. And the thing is you don't wanna be stopped by the side of the road. You don't wanna have to pay to get your vehicle back on the road. You don't wanna be without it. And this year survey for the most reliable of all vehicle brands has a new number. One and the crazy thing is their rating is so high. Nobody's close and mazda. Mazda's forgotten about japanese brand. You know there might smaller automaker but according to consumer reports crunching of data they are the most reliable and who did they displace year after year. The most reliable brand year in and year out has been lexus. But lexus spell. All the way to third. And i'm telling you it's not close. Mazda eighty-three lexus. A seventy one lexus. Even guy beaten for second spot by toyota. Which is the parent brand of lexus. And there are reasons. Certain brands particularly very expensive. Ones don't perform well in consumer reports reliability ratings and its brands that are doing a lot of model changeovers. A lot of improvements models new features new that when vehicles are redone their reliability usually is pretty crummy and it takes a while to work the bugs out and i think that's why lexus fell to third nearly tied with them. Buick and fourth place honda. V hyundai sixth ram seventh. Subaru eighth portion ninth and died tenth. Now who's selling the most unreliable vehicles far far far away with the score. I don't think i've ever seen this alot. Lincoln got an eight. I mean that's as low of an issue could be and they dropped eleven places from the year before tesla came in second to last or second is the least reliable of all brands with a twenty nine. The funny thing about that. Tesla has the most loyal owners of any vehicle brand sold in the united states but the reliability thing. They got a lot of work to do also at the bottom. Volkswagen third most unreliable many fourth most unreliable and ford v most unreliable so liability is an absolute key decider. And what you buy for other people. It's style or an emotional connection to a vehicle. Prefer a lot of owners or would be owners of vehicle. Being reliable is really really important and look at mazda. They're sitting in the cat bird's seat by far number one.

Medical school susan has been saying for her entire career that we need to quit pretending that everything is fine when it isn't that we need to stop suppressing the truth to maintain the illusion of happiness or to simply preserve the comfort of other people in other words toxic. Positivity can go to hack but really if we think about toxic positively in. Its most salient form. What is it. It's an avoidance coping strategy. It's avoidance win. You are either telling other people just to be positive. You are basically saying to him. My comfort is more important than your reality and we are also saying them.

My father who was dying of cancer was somehow in a very vulnerable position and he was somehow persuaded by many people around him.
