Chris Kohls and Seb Talk About the Original "Mad Max" Movie
"Talk about Mad Max and at least it's influence. If we say it's an amateurish film made by people who never made a movie before, we've got to recognize one thing and that's the flipping impact this movie had, because after this movie came out, like Blade Runner that we've already reviewed here on making movies great again, it created its own genre, didn't it, Chris? Oh yeah, well, not just this, but the second film in the third film, there was a lot of post apocalyptic films that came out after this. The cars in particular, there had been car chase films before this. There had been car centric films, right? What's funny is I was thinking, okay, they call the villain at the beginning of the film calls himself knight rider. Yes. And then Mel Gibson's car kind of looks like the eventual, right? The intercept, yeah, the black on black. Right. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. And I'm like, hi, I wonder if this is inspiration for the show night, right? I was thinking the same thing and how did they not have a copyright issue or somebody say, hey, somebody's used that name before again in a movie. Well, I think the knight writer from the show was K, K and I yes. So how do you spell night? It doesn't matter. I'm with a knight as in darkness with an end. I just not done off the peloton. I can't think after I get this. Is that what happens? Is that why peloton should be banned? Honestly, people say, oh, if you exercise, you get like enlivens your it makes me dumb. Like I can't think afterwards. I don't care. Stop exercising. That is the conclusion. Stop exercising. Buy a motorbike and have fun on a motorbike instead. Actually, you know, after watching this film, I did feel a little bit less intelligent as well, so that might be part of it. So why the hell did you force me to choose between this and Ghostbusters two? I need to know why you did this to me. Well, I'll tell you why, because I've always wanted to watch this film. There's a few films I've always wanted to watch because, you know, I've always liked road warrior. I've always thought that the concept of this genre, this post apocalyptic genre is a good idea. I only assumed that the original Mad Max was as good as the hang on. You hadn't seen this at all. Never saw it. I've never seen it. Wow. Okay, all right. That's good. All right. That's why I wanted to see it. I wanted to say it was an opportunity for me to see it. If you came to this cold and I don't think I'd ever paid attention to it and sat down in one go and ever watched it. Maybe seen bits of it on TV or whatever. The first 20 minutes, especially when the night rider flies through the caravan. It's like a comedy.

Sebastian Reviews All of the Guns From Iconic Film 'Lethal Weapon'
"We found it. We found it on the eBay, the original poster for a lethal weapon much better than the one they actually used. Although in real life, I'm not sure president Trump is a little taller than that, but it looks good. I like it. I like it. I'm the old guy with the 6 shooter with the revolver, but that's fine. It's a three 57. It's a serious gun. And of course, the crazy guy is Chris. He's got the M 9. I'm going to just geek out here. The Chris made this poster it's superb. That is our making movies great again, post. I'm gonna geek out because I'm a gun guy. If it's a movie with guns, we're gonna talk guns. Let's put the first gun up. These are the famous guns. No, no, it's in reverse order, all right? Send it. First I want to know, the next one. All right, this is the first gun that stars in the movie. This is in the Christmas tree scene at the beginning. This is what the bad guy holds to Mel Gibson's head, as he says, should the guy shoot the guy. Iconic, I have three of them. It is the Astra terminator, a semi custom gun from the 80s chopped down from a 6 inch, it is a 44 Magnum snobby revolver and it is delightful. A bit heavy, but it is an iconic weapon from the 80s, always dreamt of having one after I saw a lethal weapon. Now I can actually afford to buy guns like this. The next one, this is the one that really, really, let's show Mel. This is the gun that he just made famous. It's the M 9. It is the service weapon of the United States military until recently. This movie made it very, very famous from beretta from Italy. And then, oh my gosh, maybe my favorite scene in the movie when he's in the desert, waiting for the general to save the girl, Mel is lying there in the sand with perhaps the best sniper rifle ever made. The H and K PSG one. Did you

But it seems the main danger to the Democrats of reelection or election coming up is inflation, the high price is very thing. You want to do a little bit with Carl. It is a worldwide problem. So how is that Biden's fault? Right. My thought is most corporations are Republican leaning. Yes. These corporations are the ones that are raising prices. I think we companies. I think we use those tapes. They've been caught on tape. A lot of the CEOs bragging about the profits they're making and that they can blame inflation at the Midas touch needs to write a bunch of people. Whoever needs to handle that. I agree. Of them bragging about it. Okay. One more amazing hirono 'cause you just can never have enough on the row vote. It's really hard to talk to people who do not, even acknowledge the woman. Right. How about that? Hey, who's having these babies? It's amazing that they have no problems forcing. Forcing women to have children.

Just because it's your understanding of the history of romanticism and that movement, which I think I had forgotten 85% of what you say in here. So it's kind of an amazing primer on literary history and history. So talk about that because it's fascinating. Because the thing you usually hear about the romantics was there was an age of reason and everybody was reasonable and then the romantics came and they reacted and they didn't like reason. They wanted to have a motion, which is utter nonsense. That's not what happened at all. You know, they lived in a time that was so much like our time that it is truly uncanny. I mean, the comparisons are everywhere. They lived in a time when science was changing everything. And so people were losing their faith. The structures of the world church and state were collapsing and being shown up as unable to take them into the new era.

"Really. I've got some, I got some basic questions for you. And then I'm going to let you go. Okay. And get on with your career. All right. I have I have really loved you for long time. Not only because, but mainly because you have been in the Hollywood world and you have taken your fate seriously and you have used your platform in the business to talk about the things that most people want to talk about, which is to say, God and God related issues. So my question for you is brother when when did that begin for you that desire to do that in Hollywood? I'd say it became more apparent to me probably somewhere in my late 30s. And, you know, but why? In other words, is that because, you know, you have kids and you're beginning to think like, hey, I'm pretty successful. Maybe I need to give back. I mean, so in other words, this is something. You wander through a wasteland for like 20 years, right? And you kind of start scratching your head thinking, and things aren't going so well. Maybe I should do things a little different. And you begin to reexamine things that once you held firm and maybe you relax with, you know, you let it go. And so it's just a gradual process of, I think, working on your stuff, trying to improve yourself. Because, you know, we're all, we're all tend to sort of be egotistical. You know, it's all about me. You know, and it's pathetic, you know? I've never had that problem. You never had that? No. Well, you deserve. You'll ever meet Mel, I just want that right. I'm not afraid to tell you. Well, those of us who've watched who've watched your career and you're willingness to put it out there. I mean, the passion, the hell that you took when you were trying to bring that to the screen. As you know, there were millions of people cheering for you and what you were doing. And we're cheering for you right now with the father stew film. We're just we're proud of you. Your voice for a lot of people. So let me ask you with regard to this film, how did you get involved in this film? How did this come to you? Yeah, this came through a screenplay. Well, Mark was involved. And Rosie was involved. And I look at the screenplay that she had written and I was really charmed by it. I thought it was funny. And it was poignant. And it wasn't too sanitized or saccharin. It wasn't preaching to the choir. It was a story about real people who were pretty, you know, venal in many respects, as we all are. And it showed you a path that this man took a true path, and where he got to and where he ended. And it's kind of a triumphant kind of, you know, pretty inspiring story. And I liked it. I dug it, you know? It's absolutely, you know, it's beautiful, again, that you are using a platform you have to get these stories out there. There is a hunger for it. But do you remember at least I do. I remember when you were trying to raise money. You Mel Gibson are trying to raise money to put the passion on the screen and I was fascinated how difficult that was for you. It's astonishing to me how hostile Hollywood and even not just Hollywood, but people are afraid, but you push through. I would say. Well, it was I had trouble distributing the film. And but I found a distribution company that would do it. And off we went, I financed it myself, of course. So it was not something that was done by a big studio or any 7 sisters didn't dig it. But eventually, it came out. I mean, it was distributed overseas by Fox. And of course, in a domestically by a company, oh man, what was their name? What was the name of that company? Can you imagine can't remember, man, it's gone now that company, but yeah. Well, listen, speaking for a lot of people, we really love you. We're proud of what you've been doing. And we really look forward to the launch of this film. Yeah, well, thank you. And, you know,.

We have the winners for the three grand prize winners. We will announce those on the show tomorrow. Yes. Those of you who are getting copies of all of my books and helping books and everything. But the biggest news, last night, I watched a film, I got an advanced screener, a rough cut of dinesh d'souza's film, it is called 2000 mules. Everyone in America has to see this film. I mean, it is incontrovertible proof that the election was stolen by the Biden campaign. There's a level of corruption, it is folks. It is unbelievable. If it doesn't make you mad, you're kind of a sick person. Because the only healthy response when you see this film is to say, we've got to stop this. This is wrong. This president was not elected by the American people. It's about as big a scandal as you could possibly get next to a Civil War or a revolution with king George the third, king George the third. It is absolutely incontrovertible. And anyone who doesn't like it is just going to call names or say, they're going to say whatever they need to say to avoid looking at the information because when people when judges and people are going to be confronted with this information, it's not going to be pretty. It's not going to be pretty, but it's necessary. It is absolutely shattering stuff. This is 2000 mules. Dinesh d'souza, I'm in the film because they do a round table discussion with me and Charlie Kirk, Sebastien gorka, Dennis prager, Larry, elder, and dinesh himself. But it is absolutely shattering. There is simply no doubt. I don't even want to hear it. If you watch the film, you will understand there is no doubt they stole the election through ballot stuff. And this doesn't even get into the machines. We're going to leave it at that. And by the way, here's my interview with Mel Gibson, no kidding, just did this. Are you ready? It's really him. Hey there, Eric metaxas. Eric, how are you? I'm swell, how are you? I'm great. I'm not making you nervous. Am I because that happens? Why? You're not making me nervous. I want you to relax.

Andrew Klavan Discusses His New Book 'The Truth and Beauty'
"Folks I can take my conversation with Andrew clavin KLA van, the book out today. It's called the truth and beauty how the lives and works of England's greatest poets, point the way to a deeper understanding of the words of Jesus. And Andrew, part of the fun of this book is being reminded. Because you tell these lovely stories, these powerful, beautiful, funny stories of all these characters and how they interacted with each other because, you know, we think of them as names in the Pantheon. But the idea that Milton, for example, John Milton, who proceeds all of these figures. But that he was a human being. And that he was this kind of a person and not that kind of a person. And how his work led to some of them. I guess it was wordsworth, right? Who was obsessed with Milton? Yeah, he wanted to rewrite basically Paradise lost the story of the fall of man, Milton's brilliant poem on the fall of man he kind of wanted to rewrite it as a mental event. And he never quite got around to it. He never quite did it, but he was obsessed with art behind the news. There's the one piece of bad advice college gave him. He told him he should be writing longer poems, but it was really words with shorter poems that are great. Well, it's so funny. But just the way they all interacted with each other. We forget really that that was the case, at least most of us forget that kind of thing. But you bring them to life. You also talk about keats. I mean, my goodness, he died at age 25. And according to you, and I want to ask you about this, you say that you think he was the greatest poetic genius since Shakespeare. Now there are a lot of poetic geniuses out there. What makes you have that, I guess, judgment about keats, because of course he wrote so little, ultimately, because he died so young, but what was it about keats that makes you kind of put him up there at the top of the Pantheon? It was really the, you know, it's really the truth and beauty his poetry is so beautiful to read and so dense, so packed with meaning the way Shakespeare's is that you could hesitate between two words without ever getting to the end of the way they reverberate off each other. The title of the book comes from him from his ode on a grecian urn in which he's basically contemplating how art leads us into eternity. And the grecian urn says at the end of the poem to humankind, it says beauty is truth, truth, beauty. That's all you know on earth and all you need to know.

They wanted to have a motion, which is utter nonsense. That's not what happened at all. You know, they lived in a time that was so much like our time that it is truly uncanny. I mean, the comparisons are everywhere. They lived in a time when science was changing everything. And so people were losing their faith. The structures of the world church and state were collapsing and being shown up as unable to take them into the new era. And just to be clear, you're talking about the latter part of the 18th century. So this is the lead up to the French Revolution. I mean, the level of chaos on the continent, just hard for us to imagine what that would have been like. But that's what you talk about. Right. And just like we had a kind of cultural revolution in the 60s where everybody thought it was going to be the age of Aquarius. They thought the French Revolution was going to bring Paradise and instead it devolved into obviously the terror and then a World War, the Napoleonic Wars went all over Europe and Egypt and they were all over the place for 12 years. And people just in the way that people could not accept that the Soviet Union's collapse meant that socialism and communism didn't work. Radicals on the continent could not admit that the French Revolution had failed and anybody who said it failed like the great poet William wordsworth was canceled. Literally canceled. They came after you in every journal they could. They wrote famous poems about wordsworth about what a bad guy he was because he became a conservative after the revolution failed. People started questioning gender roles, whether marriage was a good thing, not just whether marriage was a good thing, but whether women should be able to sleep around at the same at the same level that men had been doing. They began to question God. That to me is the center of it that they lost. They were losing faith in God, intellectuals, just like now. It was kind of became a default setting for intellectuals to question. Certainly organized religion and possibly got. And so what these poets were taxed with, they were taxed with inventing a new world, a new form of consciousness, a new way of seeing things, and many of them. And this has been written about by far greater critics than me. One critic named MH Abrams wrote a wonderful book about it. Many of them started to reinvent Christianity as an internal religion. Instead of talking about the man's relationship to God, they started talking about man's relationship to himself and his relationship to nature. And C. S. Lewis, the great Christian apologist, red wordsworth, and he said, yes, if you follow this train of thought, you will be converted. You know, it's not the end. It's the beginning. But you follow that road and you will be converted. And that's what happened to wordsworth. Wordsworth was converted. And at the heart of all of them, I think he sort of becomes the anti hero, the hero of the book, but he was such a mess of Samuel coleridge, who was the most brilliant man of his generation. One of the most brilliant men who ever lived, he almost knew everything. He was the one guy that knew that Jesus Christ was at the center of their search. And he went from writer to writer to writer, talked incessantly and changed all of them. And sometimes, you know, he brought them just a new way of seeing things. So what happened to me is when I went back to the gospels to try and understand them, I realized these guys had built a road back to the gospels from a place very much like the place where we live. And I started to think, well, if you follow that road, maybe you come back to the gospels and see them in a new way. And that's what happened to me that I started to read the words of Jesus in my genuinely new way. And it's not that it changes the old things that you know. It's simply more. It simply expands it because the thing that I don't think Jesus was saying was be nice or you'll be punished. And if you're nice, you get a big reward. That's not what I think he was actually saying. I don't think we needed the king of our universe to do what he did to give us that piece of information. He was telling you away just he was giving you a way of seeing things. There's all these lines in the gospels that you forget about, like where he says, I want the joy that's in me to be in you. Something think about that for a minute and think like to the Christians I know have the joy that is in Jesus in them and enjoy, I don't use the word joy to mean happiness. You know, it's not like you're supposed to walk around with a big grin on your face when things are falling apart. It's what the poet's called Gusto. You're supposed to live kind of has it been matters as if every minute you're alive is important and exciting and interesting even when it is incredibly painful and full of suffering. And the poet's actually teach that and when you read what they say and you go back to Jesus, you realize he's taking it to even the next level. There is so much in this book..

Mel Gibson Reflects on His Struggle to Get 'The Passion' Distributed
"Do. I remember when you were trying to raise money. You Mel Gibson are trying to raise money to put the passion on the screen. And I was fascinated how difficult that was for you. It's astonishing to me how hostile Hollywood and even not just Hollywood, but people are afraid, but you push through. I would say. Well, it was I had trouble distributing the film. And but I found a distribution company that would do it. And off we went, I financed it myself, of course. So it was not something that was done by a big studio or any 7 sisters didn't dig it, but eventually came out. I mean, it was distributed overseas by Fox. And of course, in a domestically by a company, oh, man, what was their name? What was the name of that company? Can you imagine can't remember, man, it's gone now that company, but yeah.

"Bit. I've got some, I got some basic questions for you. And then I'm going to let you go. Okay. And get on with your career. All right. I have, I have really loved you for a long time. Not only because, but mainly because you have been in the Hollywood world and you have taken your fate seriously and you have used your platform in the business to talk about the things that most people want to talk about, which is to say, God and God related issues. So my question for you is brother when when did that begin for you that desire to do that in Hollywood? I'd say it became more apparent to me probably somewhere in my late 30s. And, you know, but why? In other words, is that because, you know, you have kids and you're beginning to think like, hey, I'm pretty successful. Maybe I need to give back. I mean, so in other words, this is something. You wander through a wasteland for like 20 years, right? And you kind of start scratching your head thinking, and things aren't going so well. Maybe I should do things a little different. And you begin to reexamine things that once you held firm and like maybe you relax with, you know, you let it go. And so it's just a gradual process of, I think, working on your stuff, trying to improve yourself. Because, you know, we're all we all tend to sort of be egotistical. You know, it's all about me. You know, and it's pathetic, you know? I've never had that problem. You never had that? No. Well, you deserve. All right, you'll ever meet Mel. Is that right? I'm not afraid to tell you. Well, those of us who've watched who have watched your career and you're willingness to put it out there. I mean, the passion, the hell that you took when you were trying to bring that to the screen. As you know, there were millions of people cheering for you and what you were doing. And we're cheering for you right now with the father stew film. We're just we're proud of you. Your voice for a lot of people. So let me ask you with regard to this film, how did you get involved in this film? How did this come to you? Yeah, this came through a screenplay. Well, Mark was involved. And Rosie was involved. And I looked at the screenplay that she had written, and I was really charmed by it. I thought it was funny. And it was poignant. And it wasn't too sanitized or saccharin. It wasn't pre show of the choir. It was a story about real people who were pretty, you know, venal in many respects, as we all are. And it showed you a path that this man took a true path, and where he got to and where he ended. And it's kind of a triumphant kind of, you know, pretty inspiring story. And I liked it. I dug it, you know? It's absolutely, you know, it's beautiful, again, that you are using a platform you have to get these stories out there. There is a hunger for it. But do you remember at least I do. I remember when you were trying to raise money. You Mel Gibson are trying to raise money to put the passion on the screen. And I was fascinated how difficult that was for you. It's astonishing to me how hostile Hollywood and even not just Hollywood, but people are afraid, but you push through. I would say.

But the biggest news, last night, I watched a film, I got an advanced screener, a rough cut of dinesh d'souza's film, it is called 2000 mules. Everyone in America has to see this film. I mean, it is incontrovertible proof that the election was stolen by the Biden campaign. There's a level of corruption, it is folks. It is unbelievable. If it doesn't make you mad, you're kind of a sick person. Because the only healthy response when you see this film is to say, we've got to stop this. This is wrong. This president was not elected by the American people. It's about as big a scandal as you could possibly get next to a Civil War or a revolution with king George the third, king George the third. I mean, it is absolutely incontrovertible, and anyone who doesn't like it is just going to call names or say, they're going to say whatever they need to say to avoid looking at the information because when people when judges and people are going to be confronted with this information, it's not going to be pretty. It's not going to be pretty, but it's necessary. It is absolutely shattering stuff. This is 2000 mules. Dinesh d'souza, I'm in the film because they do a round table discussion with me and Charlie Kirk Sebastian gork, Dennis prager, Larry, elder, and dinesh himself. But it is absolutely shattering. There is simply no doubt. I don't even want to hear it. If you watch the film, you will understand there is no doubt they stole the election through ballot stuff.

But I was just talking about you say at some point in the book that in Mel Gibson's the passion, which, in many ways, I think, is a magnificent movie and a work of devotional art. It's not like, hey, you want to see if a movie get the popcorn. It's a work of devotional art. But the identity of the Mary talk about that. Well, it was Mary Magdalene, of course, is the most famous of Jesus's female disciples. And unfortunately, in Mel Gibson's movie, he portrays her as the woman accused of adultery that is very famous story that Jesus saves from being stoned to death, and then she becomes his follower. Well, Mary Magdalene was not even a prostitute. And of course, this is something that's probably going to be surprising to a lot of your listeners or viewers because this is sort of become western tradition that Mary Magdalene was a former prostitute. And the first person ever to say that was a Pope, unfortunately, Gregory the great Gregory, the first who lived around the year 600. 600. Yes, so this is the 14th century's long screw. Yes, yes. Totally. And he made this up and identified herself.

Some reporter from variety pulls up to him and asked him to weigh in about Britney's recent conservatorship victory. Saying that Brittany with the support of her fans is the reason she's finally free and he goes, I'm so happy for her. I've been a backbone for her as much as I could, but this is all on her. She's been a rock, I don't know about that. She inspires me to do what exactly Sam to keep holding the camera to shoot her fucking Instagram videos, which is so embarrassing. What does she inspire you to do? She loves her fans, so, you know, all the fans and their effort kind of make this become, you know, possible. So I'm happy for her. Okay, so far so good. Saying the right things. Then variety points out that things have been good for you as well. Like the role you just landed in Mel Gibson's movie hot seat. And he gave a special shout out to his lady Brittany that she made a little possible. He said, look, I'm just living my life and having a great moment. I just want to thank Britney for putting me on the map as far as, you know, everything else that's going on in my career. Once again, what career are we talking about? She helped me so much with that. Let's be real. Let's be real now, right? So he's doing the right things. He and the stands where he's at. But he only wanted to talk Britney to variety. And I don't even think he knows what variety is or what it does or who it's for. But when it came time to talk to Entertainment Tonight, while Britney's name was brought up and he quickly changed the subject. The chick from ET was like, what's it like to see her be free at the 13 years and you've worked so hard for it? And he goes, I'm just excited here for the movie. I can't wait to go inside and see the movie now. And he walked away. That's an epic fail. As useless as this guy is the last thing he needed was to open his mouth. First of all, did you all think his voice would even sound like that? Have his balls dropped yet? Have you seen the video find the video, please? Britney has gone on to crucify other people like Christina Aguilera and other pop stars who she feels haven't been completely honest or sincere when the topic of her tragic life comes up.

"mel gibson" Discussed on Greg Laurie Podcast
"I have the director of that film academy award winning director and actor. Let's welcome mel gibson to the harvest crusade. Thank you thanks. greg bird estimated. Come along you're honored to be here and honored to be here. They love him l. I love you folks. About twelve years ago. When i was literally when i made this film i was literally getting the tar kicked out of me and it was you people out there evangelical who stood up and supported me and i thank you at the time but i thank you again okay. So it was great. Thanks so much you're welcome. We love our first of all like you got some big guns going on there. Come on yeah arm wrestle right now. Let's go take jot braveheart. I can't win okay. It's a dead heat. I was talking with bill backstage. I said one was the first film that you were in. And he said. I was in something called mad. Max i said yeah. I think i've heard of that somewhere. I mean mel has been in so many films but this in particular the passion of the christ. You know as i said it. It's sort of like going back in time. I've only guy went into a time machine and almost was seen it and there are some moments. That are very graphic. But as you've said in interviews maybe your film as realistic as it is isn't as graphic as it actually was the scourging the whipping the crucifixion itself. But why did you make this film. I think there's a tendency for all of us to take that event. Yeah and the extent of the sack of take it for granted and phil mattingly particularly said medically. I think it's been sanitized. A fair bit so that it becomes. I dunno ineffective ineffectual. Not emotional and i wanted to illustrate the extent of of the sacrifice made so i felt that to do a film like that and my own experience contemplating over the years on the passion. My imagination soared and there are readings on the on the matter. That kind of brought home the dreadful reality of how bad the how bad it was. And i just wanted to put that on film to give people maybe a new look and sorta bringing theological perspective to it. Perhaps they hadn't thought of before. Yes they hold the mic. Just a little closer. Yeah we've been hearing a little bit but there go. That's get now mel. There's a rumor. The word on the street is that you're going to do a follow up to the passion and it's going to be written by randall. Wallace who how many of you have seen the film braveheart. Have you seen braveheart okay. Well mel directed that film. He starred in the films william wallace and randall. Wallace wrote that film. And so you. And randall are talking about writing. A sequel to the passion. So it's not gonna really happen. We're we're talking about that. Of course that's a huge undertake. And you know it's not the passion to i mean. It's called the resurrection that's right and of course that's a very big subject and it needs to be looked at because we don't want to just do a simple rendering of it. I mean we can all read what happened but in order to really experience and explore probably deeper meanings of what it's about is gonna take some doing and and randall. Wallace says up to the task. He's he's also as well as a brilliant writer is a great director director. We were soldiers in heaven for real and stuff. So he's a good writer and director so testing. And you have a new film in fact. We've been showing the trailer here at a so-called for the last couple of nights called hacksaw ridge and this is coming on the month of november. And i've i've seen this film. Melwood is nice enough to invite me up to preview it amid. This is an amazing film. It's a realistic world. War two film some graphic scenes but not gratuitous at all but telling very real story of a very real man desmond doss honestly when i heard what this is about. I didn't know who desmond doss was. Why did you decide to make a film about desmond dawson. Who is he exactly. we'll desmond doss was. He received the medal of honor. The congressional medal of honor for courage under fire and he was singular in that most guys who get the medal of honor. They do something in a split second and it's a decision that and they do. Something courageous heroic desmond did over and over and over again in different places in the pacific but his greatest achievement was in okinawa where he saved a lot of men and the other interesting thing about desmond is that he was a conscientious objector and he went into battle without a weapon as a medic as a medic. And what he did was supernatural and he only did it through faith. that's all. He was on armed only with his faith. This.

How Pervasive Is the Culture of Poker?
"Think most americans sort of like do learn the rules of poker as growing up. I think it's like a fairly common experience. And i'm always curious like Is how much more so in the last twenty years i think if you went back forty or fifty years we have a lot of people outside of the united states just sort of like casually learning and playing poker as a kid. But i'm always curious like what how how integrated into the fabric of culture and other societies poker. Is i think very much as in the united states Yeah no it was very similar increase to and you can also imagine. I mean all of hollywood stereotypes. The you know the idea that you know we can Bed more money than we have in our stock and all of that stuff you know which was basically a version of what we thought poker was and i remember there was I have a very vivid memory of a friend of mine who are actually in a chess club. Update the time and there was this movie with mel gibson. I forget the name of the movie but you guys what jodi foster also i think so. Yes i think so like i. I don't remember all of this maverick.

Documents now marian. Akira have already there on this. They told us they were never romantically involved with johnny. And we have not heard back yet from angelina so interesting. It's a little more of this. He said she said drama Do you think the trial will be even more damaging or possibly embarrassing for johnny than the british trial was. It's all so ridiculous. This man is doing this based on something that came out and twenty eighteen with everything going on in two thousand twenty and in the world. No one even remembers that johnny depp amber heard all of these issues anyway. what. I think we're more they issues. I mean in the bay. I mean he kept on saying allegedly in the bank. Yes that's what you would remember more. And i and johnny feels. He needs to clear his name and he has filed the. He's already put this much money into it. I see him wanting to see this through the time that he did this. He was hot on it. But by the time you actually go to trial and all this davits it does feel like wow. Why are they still doing this. But also twenty twenty probably delayed a lot of things you know. It delayed a lot of stuff. And everybody's lives feel for these women who are now being dragged into this and they have nothing to do with johnny depp now carrying kierra in delina. Their names are part of this drama. And according to kira and marian they tell us like why we were never even romantically dated part of it. That's the worst part of the if somebody denies there your data when you say you did and it's on court documents said negative about this. Johnny's just wants to come out swinging. He wants to clear everything and go so he's got nothing to lose right now the position he's in even though farrah's outside his list you can lose a lot with this fahim. It's like there's nothing to lose. This is heaven hell scenario. It's heaven for the lawyers. I only gel for everyone else. One hundred percent. I totally agree and by the way there are times where companies know that. They're not wrong. They know that they are not liable for what happens to somebody but lawyers will say you need to settle this out of court because it's gonna cost you more in the long run. Why is no one sitting down with johnny depp. In saying yo at this point we know what you want to do. You want to clear your name. We know you're eagles getting involved. But you have to protect some of your reputation and dragging this out in american court after we just did it for a year in the uk cords. This is not going to be good for you. Take the l you still got ten million fantastic beasts. Somebody's gonna come back around for you. Mel gibson can get back from sugar. Tits. you can get back from this. Mean buddy but it's bunny but it's not all right. Well let's move on now normally when you're not dealing with an ugly trial there are so many perks. Do being a famous actress. Money fame and boyfriends. Like brad pitt. But gwyneth paltrow says the cost of fame was so high that she didn't want to keep doing it. Here's how she explained it on sirius. Xm's quarantined with bruce part of the shine of acting. What wore off. You know being in such intense public scrutiny beings a kid who's like living every break-up on every headline like being criticized for everything you do say in where show and also the the you know you're you're it's so transitory you're always all over. You think was more famous for her acting or for headlines. Sometimes i think back. In the olden days of hollywood in the early two thousands they kinda sorta went hand in hand. I think you became more famous when you were in a couple. And i think that's why a lot of times eight listeners hookup because they realize that their currency is doubled. Now still true today. The people don't use it as much as the used to i think. Stars kerry washington a-list stars mindy kaelin. They don't really use their relationships. Kids that are personalized very much. They have restricted that access and they got smart because they realized that once you do it once you can never stop ever even if you wanna stop it yet. Can't do it also in tech entrepreneurs and the new this out is yeah. I agree with you. i think for me. She's always been movie star. I assure the tabloids all the time about relationships but nine hundred ninety eight was her year sliding doors shakespeare in love expectations that was about the film's first and foremost and then after. That came all this when i started google and that created like a whole new kind of door to joe. And yeah she. She's now opened the doors to say like whatever. But i also think he's at a point now where she is just like take handles it all so much better. That's why she's clearly pursued kept pursuing this staying in the main stream and being super famous at the way she could've hidden away and not been out and about but she's everywhere like does not shy away at all so she's clearly got come to terms with this. I do think like it always helps if you can get into a relationship with another celebrity. I mean if you're trying to increase your fame. I'm that's why you have so many I'm using i know wags is not a bad term but i mean the women who there are a lot of women that go after just famous people are a lot of men that just go after famous women and it's like they do that for a period of time because they're really trying to increase their stardom and it helps
