The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Jennifer Morse
"Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because The Blob was supposed to eat him, but he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the show. A number of years ago, somebody alerted me to the existence of one Jennifer Morris, who is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute. I had her as my guest Socrates at in the City. We've had her on the program a number of times, but it's been a while, and I'm excited to have her back to talk about some important things. So, Jennifer Morris, welcome back. Thanks for having me, Eric. It was great. That was back in the day when I talked to you at Socrates in the City. That was back when gay marriage was still considered a debatable topic, and now that's completely off the table and we're on to the next thing that we're all supposed to That's accept. the point. So, you talk a little bit about the Ruth Institute. You're the founder and president of that, and then I want to talk about your book, The Sexual State. It's all, unfortunately, very important, but I'm just glad to have you because people try to process this stuff, and you're one of the voices that's been processing it for a long time. Yes, yes. Well, thank you. Thank you for that. Yeah, so the Ruth Institute is an international interfaith coalition to defend the family and build a civilization of love, and we really are international. We really are interfaith, Eric. I have people working on my staff, actually, you know, who are Orthodox, Mormon, Jewish, evangelical, you know, but we're trying to defend the ancient Christian teaching that is the heritage or the common heritage of the whole Christian tradition, which is one man, one woman for life. Get married, stay married, only have sex with the person you're married to. You have to admit that would solve a lot of problems, you know, if we only had sex with the person we were married to, or even with our own bodies, which is what the whole transgender movement is about. So, the Ruth Institute tries to present a unified front explaining what's wrong with the sexual revolution, not just the thing that's happening right now, not just the thing that's happening in the last five minutes, but, you know, the 10, 20, 30, 40 years that led up to it there, so that people can have a comprehensive look at what's really going on here. And there's so much going on here, and I think that what I always say, at least the last year, I say it's about reality. God created this thing we call reality. In the founding documents, they say nature's God, the God who created nature, all that exists in nature.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Jose Hernandez
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob, starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his seed because The Blob was supposed to eat him, but he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Metaxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome back. In case you didn't know, there's a film. It's called The Hill, and it's starring Dennis Quaid. I don't know what more you need to know. It's starring Dennis Quaid. It's in 1 ,500 screens across the country. That's a lot. We have the director of this film, of The Hill, with us, Jeff Celentano. Did I pronounce it close? Celentano. Celentano. Celentano. Hey, Celentano. You grew up in New Jersey, correct? I did. Okay. So that's why you got a name like Celentano. That's just, it's an Italian name. But you, I want to ask you, this is a film about, you grew up in a small town, in a small rural town in New Jersey. A lot of people don't know that those exist, but they certainly do if you know the state of New Jersey. But this is a film about someone who grew up in a rural town, small town in Texas. And his name is Ricky Hill. That's why the film is called The Hill. And again, it's starring Dennis Quaid as the father of this athlete, Ricky Hill. But I just kind of ask you right out of the gate, Jeff, how did you find your way to directing this story? Because this is a story that I had not heard until I heard about this film. Yeah. Well, none of us heard about the story. Ricky was an obscure guy who never really told many people about his story. Dennis Quaid, when I hired him to play Ricky's father, said, I just read the script. Is this true? Did this kid really do this? This is like a miracle. I said, yeah, he did the impossible. And he said, how come I've never heard of this story? And I said, well, there's so many stories out there nobody's ever heard of. And so that's why we're telling this one. It needs to be on the big screen. So my brother was in a hotel room, sorry, in a hotel lobby. And he was talking to somebody in a meeting. And he overheard Ricky next to him, the real Ricky Hill, talking about his life story and how he couldn't find a director that he liked. He had been through like 40 directors. And he never felt they had the right honesty and heart for the film. And my brother leaned over and said, excuse me, sir, once he was off the phone, this is my brother on the phone. He's your director. Talk to him. And Ricky was like, my brother's very aggressive. And Ricky talked to me. And we just bonded. And he said, you have to read my story. I'm going to send you the script tonight. I read the script. I cried my eyes out through the whole thing. I was so touched that I have said this so many times, but it's the same every time. It got in my heart and has not left even today that I had to tell this story. It was like I was on a mission. I just never gave up. And so that's how it ended up getting made. But it took 17 years to get it funded. I had been funded four times. The money fell through every time. And the last time it fell through was six years ago. Dennis had already been hired. And I thought we were going to lose Dennis. And he called me and said, listen, I love this story. It's the best story I've read in 20 years. I'm on for life. As long as you can find a time span on my schedule, I will do the film. Well, now for people who are, you know, tuning in and saying, what is the story? Tell us what is the story? Because the story is about a little boy, eight years old, who was very poor. His father decided to be a minister and a preacher and travel around the country. And they got kicked out of a couple of churches because his father was very adamant about no smoking in the church and treating the church badly. Ricky would be very poor and go out on a railroad track and hit stones all day. But he wore bag braces because he was crippled from the hip down.

His father decided to be a minister and a preacher and travel around the country. And they got kicked out of a couple of churches because his father was very adamant about no smoking in the church and treating the church badly. Ricky would be very poor and go out on a railroad track and hit stones all day. But he wore bag braces because he was crippled from the hip down. So he just got so good at hitting rocks because he was so poor, he had nothing else to do. He hit 2000 rocks a day. And of course that transferred into baseball. He wanted to play baseball. He was addicted to it. And his father would not allow him to play baseball. He was like, you're gonna be a preacher? Because when Ricky was eight, he started preaching to the family, imitating his father. And he got so good at it that he could recite the Bible back to front. And this is not a faith movie, but it's got so much faith in it because of the father. It just translates into that. So Ricky behind his dad's back ended up becoming an all -star player in high school. And right when the scouts were about to look at him, they came to the stadium to look at him, he trips over a sprinkler head and breaks his ankle.

I mean, what are the odds of that? It's just hard to figure mathematically. I have with me my producer, Chris Himes, although when I say with me, Chris Himes, you're with me, but you're not with me. You're in a car, like in the Smoky Mountains of, is it Virginia, someplace? Yeah, I'm in the Smoky Mountains. I'm outside of a budget inn and something called the Pink Cadillac Diner. So you got this thing called a family, and you travel around with them, and you kind of got stuck down there.

Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his seed because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks, welcome to the program today. Two exciting guests, Brian Gadhawa and Kerry Gress. I want to remind you that we're doing a campaign with Food for the Poor. This is our fourth day of the campaign, and we need everybody to kind of step up. So I'm just going to harp on this because we really believe in what they do. Food for the Poor. They provide emergency relief supplies in our own hemisphere. Right. So pretty much every summer we do a campaign with Food for the Poor to give you an opportunity to give to Food for the Poor, because these are the poorest of the poor. These are people who can't feed their kids in countries like Haiti. And they need our help. And the thing that I want to say, the reason they're they're really pushing now is because hurricane season is coming up and Food for the Poor realizes that they want to be prepared before these tragedies happen, which they do inevitably every year in the Caribbean and Latin America. The hurricane season is so devastating, it disrupts food chains. And people literally can't feed their kids. People literally have no homes. And so this is going to happen and they want to be prepared. And so we're asking you to step up ASAP. You can go to Metaxas talk dot com. That's our radio website. Metaxas talk dot com. By the way, while you're there, we're still doing ask Metaxas. I've been away, as you know, for three weeks, but we're going to be doing that again and we want your questions so you can email them to us at Metaxas talk dot com. But while you're there, you'll see the banner emergency relief supplies. Food for the poor. We want you to click on that banner and give what you can. I just want to challenge you to think about what it would be like not to be able to feed your kids. There are people right now in in these countries that are in that situation already. And there will be many more as hurricane season hits in a few weeks. And we so we need your help now. Whatever you give, we appreciate it. Again, you can just go to Metaxas talk dot com. Some of you prefer to text. You can do it on your phone right now. You can text the word Eric. That happens to be my name. You can text it to nine one nine nine nine. Just text Eric to nine one nine nine nine. And I say this to everybody. It doesn't matter what you give. You can give anything you can give ten dollars. Please participate with us. This is an annual campaign we do every summer for food for the poor. They depend on your help. That's that's why they come to us on this program, because they depend on your help. Now, some of you can be dramatically generous. Whatever you give up, you know, I'll throw this out there. Four thousand nine hundred dollars. Enables food for the poor to build a home. For those people who have lost their homes. Right. So any multiple of that or any any fraction of that, you know, forty nine dollars, four hundred ninety dollars. Get together with your friends. But but every four thousand nine hundred dollars, food for the poor can build a home for people who have lost their homes and they are going to lose their homes. This is as I say, this is happening for a gift of one hundred dollars that provides an emergency kit that includes a tarp. Imagine what these folks are going through, that they need a tarp, first aid supplies, blankets. So I just want to encourage you again, go to go to Metaxas talk dot com. Please do this today, folks, please. Metaxas talk dot com. If you prefer to do it on your phone, just text the word Eric to nine one nine nine nine. Again, text the word Eric to nine one nine nine nine. The link will come right up. Text Eric to nine one nine nine nine.

And this is what we do. Those of us who believe in giving back, we give when we can. As we can. Some of you I know can't give a lot, but you can give something and you believe in giving. I want to recommend food for the poor as an extraordinary place to give because we can trust them. We've worked with them over the years and this this money gets to the right places and these kids get fed, houses get built. They are an openly Christian organization against food for the poor. The phone number is. Eight four four eight six three hope again eight four four eight six three hope you can text Eric to nine one nine nine nine again.

"Folks, welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Metaxas! Staying in my conversation with Casey Diaz, he's the author of the shot caller gangbanger's a Latino miraculous escape from a life of violence to a new life in Christ. Casey, the story is crazy, beautiful, amazing, and it's true. So you're telling me now the guy comes in there to kill you and he can't do it? And you lead him to faith right there, the man with the shank in his hand. Now, I would think that in the prison world, they're going to put a hit out on his life and they're going to put somebody else to kill you. So, I mean, what happens that day, the next day? Well, for several years, two years, actually, there's these little notes that we used to write when we were put a hit or we needed something to be moved from one prison yard to another that were called kites. And so I started to use that system to witness to other gang leaders in there. And shortly after that, one of the founding members of MS -13 came to Christ through one of those kites. And then another gang leader from a gang in South Central Los Angeles came to Christ. So there was about four or five of us that started to really witness out there. And we were going through the wringer for two years. But after those two years, over 200 inmates at New Folsom State Prison came to Christ. And there was a big celebration that took place in that prison. This is just amazing. I'm amazed. I have not heard this story because this is like, to me, this is national news. If the news were not crazy and avoiding this kind of stuff. But let me ask you, you talked about hard candy, whatever. What was what happened? You said that there's a well, we would get jumped, you know, we'd be walking to whatever, an appointment or on the yard or to chow. And the next thing you know, there's 20, 40 inmates on top of you beating you. Or they'll walk into your cell and and do that. And when did this happen to you? Oh, countless amount of times throughout those two years. And do you feel the freedom to defend yourself? I kept I try to keep my promise of not doing anything. So and there's some details on that in the book that I go into. But for the most part, I just because you certainly could have killed a few more people. Yeah, absolutely. And the temptation came at one point. Well, because they're sort of trying to kill you. Yeah. And, you know, and it's it's overbearing. And you and you think and I remember having this conversation with God. And I said this to him, I said, you know, I gave everything up for you. I gave it all up for you. And this is what I what I get. And if you ever tell the Lord something like that, you're going to get a response. And here's the response to me was you didn't give anything for me. I give it all. I give it all up for you. He said that to you. And that was a calming moment for me that I came to to to understand that it was him that gave it all for me. I didn't know Jesus could be sassy. That's like a that's an amazing response. Yeah. Yeah, that's an amazing thing. But it was it was it was truth that, you know, that that that bear witness in my spirit that he's right. You know, he gave it all up for me wasn't the other way around. So you said this goes on for a couple of years and a lot of people come to faith in Jesus as a result of your standing on that table and being willing to risk your life. I mean, you risk your life. You basically at that point gave your life, except God gave it back to you. Yeah. And it's by God's grace that I ever made it out for parole. And made it out here. So what happened at this point? You said you go before a parole board. I mean, you're you're going through living hell for a few years there, even although you're so on fire in your faith that you are converting others in the midst of this situation. When how do you come up for parole at this point? Came up for parole on this particular morning. I didn't know that, you know, it was just to me, it was just another parole date. You know, you go every year, some of us go every three years, some of us every seven years. So to me, you know, I didn't I had no expectations of getting out any time soon. But at the moment that I got paroled, it was a surprise. In fact, one of the questions that one of the members said was, you know, why should we let you out? And my response was, you shouldn't. I deserve every minute that I have in here ordered by the court. In fact, I think that I should have been dealt stronger, and a bigger sentence should have been given to me. So I don't deserve freedom at all, and I'm okay with that. And that is the moment that I was granted parole. Did they know your story? I guess they have been watching what's happening. They had watched, they had seen, you know, prison guards had seen, there was riots that happened. I mean, there's so many stories that I share in there that, yeah, that God just, his supernatural hand upon my life was just one miracle after the other. Apart from your book, has anyone told these stories of this revival in this gang prison? No, I've been sharing it since the book release. I've been all over the country sharing it. Because this happened how many years ago? Over two decades. And we've never heard this story until now. I mean, it's, as I said, to me, this is national news. This is big stuff. And it's kind of amazing that nobody knows about this, all these guys. Now, so you get out and now what? You get out to what? What's your life? I get out to nothing because I have nothing on. So I moved out to a little town in California where I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me. I looked out for a church. I saw the church. I finally found one and got plugged in. Francis Proctor was still with me. See, that's amazing. This woman is the hero. Yes, she is. She's going to have a big mansion. Yes, she is. When we're in heaven, we won't have jealousy. So we're not going to be jealous. We'll be all right. I mean, can you imagine that this woman, it was her prayers. I mean, it's that simple. Like, that's the power of prayer. That's an encouragement to me. Wow. So you stayed in touch with her? Yeah. In fact, that whole prison ministry that would go there was at my wedding when I got married. They were all invited. They were all. Yeah, well, I would think they should be. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. So how long were you out? What did you do for a living once you get out? My uncle owned a hardwood floor company, so he hired me. I worked there for, you know, minimum wage. But I'll tell you this, my first paycheck, I had never made a dollar, honestly. So this was my first paycheck where I had worked a 40 hour week. And it was one of the best feelings that I ever had. And you, how old were you when you got out? I was, I think, 24 or 25, somewhere on there. Man, you lived like three lifetimes before that age. That's just unbelievable. So, and how long were you in that situation? Because now you're going to this church, you're in touch with this woman who had been coming into the prison. And how long, you got married, obviously. I got married, yeah. So I'm surprised too. You got married. And where were you at that point? How did you meet your wife? I met my wife at church. She's Lebanese. She comes from a Muslim background. She was the first one to convert to a Christian faith in her family. From the Muslim background. Yeah, from a Muslim background. And we met at church and we started to work together in the youth ministry. And after that, we ended up getting married and we've just finished celebrating our 20th year anniversary and three kids later. Three kids later. Yeah, I have two daughters and one son. One daughter that's at Azusa Pacific and the other one at Biola. We're going to do another segment, folks, so hang on. We'll be right back with Casey Diaz. The book is The Shot Caller. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right. Designed to heal. And I agree with them.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from RobertLeonDavis (Encore Continued)
"Folks, welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because The Blob was supposed to eat him, but he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest, Eric Mataxas. If you listen to my first hour with Robert Leon Davis, his book is Running Scared. This is a New Orleans cop who became corrupt, got arrested, and then decides to skip off into the woods of Canada for the rest of his life and survive off the land running from the law. One of the most amazing stories just beyond belief. We got pretty far in the story, but I said we got to do part two. Hey there, Robert Leon Davis, welcome back to the program. I cannot get over your story, and I don't want to speed past that. I said, we got to do part two because this is so rich. For people who are just tuning in, if you didn't listen to part one with Robert Leon Davis, the book is Running Scared Beyond Belief. This is one of these stories. I cannot believe it. It says, for 22 years, a fugitive, the corrupt cop busted by God. And this doesn't even begin to tell the riches of this story. So when we last left you, you had escaped the law, you're a corrupt cop, you're going to go to Angola prison, you know you're going to die, and you make a decision to study up and to figure out how to live off the land. Your only hope is to escape into the wild woods of Canada and to live your life out there. So you succeed in doing that, as we heard in the last show, and now you are alone in the woods, the deep woods of Canada. What are you planning to do up there with the rest of your life? Well, by this time, after a few years of living out there, when I first came out, because I really came out one day and went into town, I guess I had been out in the woods there for about two, maybe two years, two and a half years straight without seeing anybody doing anything. You might play tricks on you, all kinds of stuff, you're talking to yourself, and I began to have vision problems where I couldn't see that good anymore. I thought I maybe was beginning to have a tumor, I don't know why my mind went there, but I said, I'm probably going to have some kind of brain tumor, because I had some studies on some medicines, like I said, first aid technique and stuff like that. And so I came out the woods, and it was very surreal coming out of the woods. Now, what part of Canada are you in? Are you still in that same area, or did you go north? I'm about 100 miles west of Montreal, in Gatineau National Forest. Okay. And so I come out onto the main highway, and I start walking down the highway towards the nearest town, trying to get to Montreal. And lo and behold, after two, two and a half years of standing out in the woods, lo and behold, who comes down the road? An Ontario provincial police officer, and asked me, do I need a lift? I was going to say at that point, I don't know what the answer is. What's the answer? Yes, I have to say yes. Otherwise, I would be suspicious. I'm out in the middle of nowhere, and I just happened to reach an area where there were some tourists. So I just thought, maybe this guy is just a hiker, a day hiker. And so I took the ride, and for the first time, when I got behind, I got in the back of his vehicle, for the first time, I smelt myself, because of the plexiglass. I was in an enclosed area, and it wasn't nothing nice. And I was going to say, if he smells you, he knows you're not a day hiker. Well, apparently, he couldn't smell me. But he gave me a ride to a nearest town, and I was able to go to a mission at that time and explain to them that I needed to see a doctor and so forth and so forth. But Montreal, even back then, Montreal, there's a lot of blacks in Montreal. People probably don't know that, because a lot of people from the islands, if they can't, like Jamaica Haiti, and if they can't get into the US, that's where they go. I didn't know that. I would never expect to see so many black people in Montreal. That's interesting. Okay, so you could blend in a little bit. Well, what I mean is from Haiti, mostly, because they shared a common language with the French in Montreal. I forgot about that. Okay. Yeah, that's the key. That's the key. And so therefore, I was looked upon as a Haitian and studied up on some French and knew some French. Now, that's one thing I had known that helped me is that I knew some basic French living in New Orleans. And I studied it when I was in Montreal. So I got along enough to be able to have a conversation in it. And so I went to a mission and lo and behold, found out that it wasn't a problem with reading too much. If you read the Merc Manual, you think you're dying from nine different things. Well, yeah, that's what I said. Too much knowledge is bad for years and years, because you get to thinking all kinds of stuff. And by that time, I wasn't as hot, even though I know the police was still looking for me, because later, when I gave myself up, my mom told me after the 27 years, my mom told me that they were still doing a stakeouts at the house, even years after that. Twenty years later? Yeah, she told me 20 years after I gave myself up. Oh, I see. That all the way up until like the fifth or sixth year, they were still doing wild taps on her phone. And of course, I wasn't going to tell, I wasn't going to call, because the worst time to call anybody is on my favorite holidays and that's Thanksgiving and Christmas. And those are the days that they will set you up on. So I came on back and I came into some of the cities and for maybe a week I did a little work enough to maybe get some canned goods. Well, now hang on. So you're still living in the woods, but you will come out now and again. And this is, again, this is in Canada, you're west of Montreal. So you're living in the woods, but you feel safe enough to come out now and again to do what? Just to be able to earn enough money to get some basic stuff like canned. See, one thing I had missed and I talk about, I think I talked about a book. The one thing I had missed out in the woods, I missed coffee. Okay. This, you are just so full of surprises. I don't know what you're going to say next. Oh, you're going to like this one. You missed coffee. Yes. And the other thing that I missed that I wish I had was a toenail clipper. Because I had to ball myself up like a child to bite my toenails off because it was going through my socks at a great rate. And I needed my socks for warmth. You are bringing up stuff that most people, including you, would not think of ahead of time. That is very funny. No, you don't think about that. I mean, especially toenail clippers. And I got pretty adapt at me. I could clip them pretty good with my teeth. I don't need that image. Brother, I rebuke you. Okay, I won't give you that. I don't need the image of a man in the woods of Canada doing that. But I mean, this is really nuts. If anybody's thinking about going living in the woods, be sure and pack a toenail clipper or something. Okay. So you needed some stuff. So you go and you said you would work odd jobs, or what would you do? Just go. Well, what I would do is I found, remember, I found, the first thing I did was found a fence. And remember, I was adapt at stealing cars. I was stripping them. Montreal, they love American cars. And I found the fence. And I would just go back to my same thing, hot wire car. And then I would strip it down for the usual parts. And I'd sell it to the fence. And then I'd go get some canned goods, like coffee and Vienna sausage, Spam. That's my favorite meal. My wife won't cook it. Oh, I love it, you know. And so that, even though I was hunting, so you got to remember now, for the first two years I'm out there, I'm existing only on game. Game can be kind of gamey. Well, game is gamey. I mean, you know. You're looking for a little chicken or a little something and you got to eat raccoon. What kind of, what kind, what did you eat? We're talking about whitetail deer. You won't find that in New Orleans. Well, we had, they had some rabbits. Their rabbits was called hares because they were huge. Okay. They were three times the size of a rabbit. I would eat that. They had, just to mention whitetail deer, they had beavers out there. Beefy is good. They had what? Beaver. Beaver? Yeah. I thought beaver would, that they would be really like a strong, strong taste, too strong. We're going to go to a break. We're going to go to a break and I'm going to interrogate you on what other wild game you ate. We've covered the toenail thing, so we're not going to return to that subject ever in my lifetime. We'll be right back, folks. I'm talking to Robert Leon Davis. The book is Running Scared. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question. Just the other night, I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right. Designed to heal. And I agree with them.

But I would eat, like I tell anyone, I would eat stuff a big oat would pass up on at that point because we're talking about a desperation mode type of thing when it comes down to survival. If you ate a turkey vulture, now turkey vulture, I mean anybody who has seen a vulture, they are some of the foulest looking creatures. They look like something right out of hell. They're just ugly, nasty, but if you're hungry, you're not asking questions. Well, that's it. I mean, you know, I didn't eat for a taste. I mean, it wasn't like I had salt and pepper out there in olive oil. I ate pretty fishin' for a second. Wait, you couldn't get salt and pepper after you, you know... Well, yeah, sometimes I could, but I developed a taste, and that's a funny thing. You develop a taste where if you don't do certain stuff, like today, I mean, I have to, even today, my doctor see me, he has to make me have, he has to make, literally make me have some salt on food because my salt level is extremely low, too, it's dangerous. I mean, it's like I'm not used to it anymore, and if I taste something with salt, it's, you know, with sugar, I can't have sugar. It's very, you know, I'm not used to it anymore. You detoxed in the woods of Canada. I detoxed from it, yeah. I just detoxed from it. It sounds like you didn't detox from caffeine.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Charles Duke
"Folks, welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his seed because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Mataxas! I've already told you really everything I think you need to know about the man who lets me call him Charlie. A warm Socrates in the City round of applause for Brigadier General Charles Moss Duke. You go in the far chair right there. All right, I better get this out of the way right off the bat. Did you really walk on the moon? Be honest, because you're among friends. If it didn't happen, there's forgiveness. But is that true? It's true. About 20 years ago, the moon landings were a big hoax. And I was interviewed by somebody on NBC. And and I said, as Katie Couric, and I said, Katie, if we faked it, why did we fake it nine times? You're going to fake some, do it once and shut up. Right. But we went to the moon nine times, had six landings on the moon, and I was the fifth landing of the six. So I don't know, though, if you really want to be clever, you could you could do it several times just to throw people off, you know. Charlie, it's I'm not kidding. I go places and I talk and every now and again, I will bump into someone who is a flat earther. And I realize this because I would use it as the ultimate example of what we all dismiss. We don't take seriously. And there are people like they're out there. So have you ever encountered one who actually thought that you were that who confronted you personally and said this never happened? My first encounter with this fellow, I don't remember his name now, but he called me in the middle of the night and said, how do you get your number, Charlie? We're in the phone book, actually. All right. That's that's on you. That's on you. Not many, not many phone books left, but back 20 years ago. And that's called me. He says, my name's so -and -so. And he says, do you are you Charlie Duke? I said, I'm Charlie Duke. He said, Well, you claim you walked on the moon. And I said, Yeah, I walked on the moon. He said, Well, I have irrefutable proof that you did not land on the moon. And I said, Well, why don't you send me some of this irrefutable proof? So I hung up and he sent me a grainy video that he'd done. And it was a fake video, actually. And so anyway, I saw him, a friend of his showed up at a meeting in Japan. Yeah, I don't believe Japan exists. And this guy and this guy approached Buzz Aldrin in his office in L .A. one time. And he said he had a Bible in his hand. He says, swear on this Bible that you walked on the moon. And Buzz said, Get out of here. And the guy kept the guy kept bugging him. And finally, Buzz just popped him right right in the middle of the nose and knocked him down. And the so guy sued Buzz. But the lawyer says, You deserve it. I mean, the judge said, You deserve it. Get out of here. Wow. We need more judges like that. Yeah. So anyway, I had a similar experience in Japan with this guy. But the evidence is irrefutable that we landed on the moon that we did. You don't need to convince this group. We we believe you. It's kind of why we're here. Well, I mean, we need an argument. The rocks are six hundred pounds of moon rocks are totally different than earth rocks. The photographs that we took, you cannot fake photograph. Back in those days, you didn't have the technology to fake photographs like you could do it today. And so the photographs all real. The rocks are real. The experiments we brought back. We left the laser reflector up there. And it's all all that's being transmitted. I mean, you can so we can hit it with a laser from here. Yeah. And so there's evidence is overwhelming that the moon rocks are real and that we did land on the moon six successful times. I want to ask you a few geological questions, which is not typical of me, but I want to get into that. But first, I want to I just want to go backwards. You know, I was kidding around about the idea that once you've walked on the moon, you know, you know, people don't really care where you went to college or whatever you're you know, you've been published in the Atlantic Monthly or whatever it is, because, you know. But how did your path go? I alluded to the fact that you started in the Naval Academy, so you didn't even have it as a gleam in your eye to to be an astronaut, because in those days, in those days, there wasn't a space program. We were trying to launch rockets, but not nobody was talking about people. And so I graduated from the Naval Academy in 1957, and there wasn't an Air Force Academy in 1957. There wasn't. They started it in 1955, but the first class wasn't going to graduate until 1959. So up until that point, they would allow West Pointers and midshipmen to volunteer for the Air Force. It was up to 25 % of the class. And so I fell in love with airplanes and at the Naval Academy. And so the decision was Naval Aviation or Air Force. And I was leading Air Force, but I really didn't know. So I took my physical my senior year, first class year, we called it. And I said, and the doctor after I got finished, he said, Well, Mitch and the Duke, you don't qualify for naval aviation, but the Air Force will take you. So that's true. That's true. True story. And so I ended up in the Air Force. And the whole story was the doctor says, we have found a stigmatism in your right eye and you don't qualify for naval aviation, but the Air Force will take you. So so anyway, they're desperate. They're just getting started. They'll take anybody. Yeah. Did you I mean, I have to ask you this question as a kid. Did you ever have any inkling or premonition that you would do something like go to the moon or was it simply completely, you know, because I grew up at a time when I was a kid, people started going to the moon. So I can't think of a time when nobody was doing that. Well, I I'm 86 and I can remember Pearl Harbor. I was six years old, my twin brother. And it was a very I can remember it vividly. And so my dad went off to the Navy and at 35 years old. And we ended up in South Carolina with my grandmother and my mom. And and my heroes were that greatest generation is broke. And so I wanted to serve my country and I chose to go to the Naval Academy because and because my dad had been a Navy. And I was as a kid, I can remember making these baltic wood planes and throwing them off the front top story of my grandmother's house. And we could get some matches and we'd like to tail and we'd throw this thing off. So it was like the zeros crashing, you know, and so I can remember those kind of things. But certainly it wasn't any. I fell in love with airplanes, I guess, in those days. And I had this adventure spirit, I call it. And there's a book by Dr. Seuss called Beyond Z. And it talks about this kid who learns the alphabet on beyond zebra. Yeah, beyond zebra on beyond zebra. Yeah. And his name was Conrad Cornelius O 'Donnell O 'Dell, a very young man who's learning to spell the A is for ape and the B is for bear. C to C through disease is for zebra. I know them all well, says Conrad Cornelius O 'Donnell O 'Dell, but he almost fell flat on his face on the floor when I picked up the chalk and drew one letter more for the things that I see and the things that I do. I could never spell if I stopped with the Z.
Truth For Life Daily Program
The Great Escape
"This material is written to those who have received these great and precious promises to which he refers. And as a result of that, have experienced what we might refer to as the great escape. Some of us may in thinking of the great escape immediately you think of Steve McQueen and some others and that classic old movie and it certainly was a unique escape, but the greatest escape that the world will ever see and ever a man or a woman will know is the escape from the clutches of evil and sin and Satan and escape which man or woman can not buy their own endeavors effect but an escape which is made possible as a result of the death of the lord Jesus on the cross. And so to these individuals who have experienced this great escape, having trusted and believed in Christ and then having based their lives upon these tremendous promises of the gospel, he urges these individuals to make sure that their faith is not something that is static, momentary, but rather that it is a progressive experience, and one that is marked by the addition to their profession of faith, this list of things which he gives to us in versus 5 6 and 7. And he introduces three very important statements with the two letter word if the first occasion I want you to note is there in versed if you possess these qualities in increasing measure. What will happen? While they will have a preventative effect in your life, instead of allowing the grass to grow under our feet as a result of laziness or as a result of slackness, the presence of these qualities will result in all of our days counting for something and counting for someone.

"But why do you think I've always said this? And I will say this as long as I'm doing this. I don't think I am doing what I do without Bill Zimmerman starting it. He was the first one to talk about podcasting, you're talking about your job as an S Sports Illustrated. What popular culture writer or both? That which led into the podcast. Bill was the first person to mix in the pop culture stuff with his writing. Before Bill, no one wrote about Beverly Hills 9 O two one O and the NBA together. I mean, I would never deny his massive impact, but I mean, people were writing about popular culture shows before Bill Simmons. Not the way he did. Entertainment Weekly existed. No, I'm talking about in the sports space. I understand what you're saying. He certainly was one of the forerunners and definitely maybe the 4Runner at a massive scale because that's what I'm talking about. To sort of combined, I don't even know how you reference it. Sort of pop culture isms and sports gambling. Let me just post you this way. Let me put this. I don't believe hot click. I don't believe hot clicks would have existed without Simmons doing what he did first. That's how interesting. I don't agree with that. And that's no disrespect to Bill Simmons. I think a lot of entities would have eventually figured out that there was a market for the combination of, I mean, it's such a broad thing to me. But the combination of popular culture and sports. By the way, Sports Illustrated as a magazine while it's sort of might have done in high minded. It always had like a conversion of pop culture and sports in it in some form. Well, that magazine had like Bob Hope on the cover in 1950, whatever. You should get 1950, but you're saying, that Steve McQueen was on the cover. That emergence happened before. Again, that's not to take away anything from Simmons who massively popularized the ESPN and spawned a thousand, if not 10,000 imitators, right? My ultimate question to you is why do you think so many people like to shit on.
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
Will Smith Is in a Living Hell
"You see the latest, the Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith video. Did you see this thing? Came out yesterday morning. She's giving him shit. You know, filming him while he's not ready to be filmed with an iPhone and asking him about, oh, let's talk about red table talk at about this woman who's gonna help us. He's like, yeah, you know, I don't want you to use that. You know, I'm very particular about my social media image and don't use me for your clout. It's very uncomfortable. And it was filmed three years ago. But now there's talk that the ugly ill rapper August alsina who had affair with Jada apparently that had said that Will Smith approved of. What else can I say? He's castrated individual. The talk is that August alsina is now going to open up more about the fairy head with the $1 billion movie star's wife because could you imagine? Go back in the old days. Imagine even like, guys like Steve McQueen. Dustin Hoffman, a big movie stars. Could you imagine them having wives who had open affairs with guys 25 years younger who had won fucking dead eye and it's so gross, what Jada Pinkett Smith has done to Will Smith that as bad as the smack was on Oscar night as bad as I feel for Chris Rock. He'll get through this. Will Smith ain't gonna get through this. He is in a different kind of hell. Chris rock is in an embarrassing situation, but everybody's on his side. Will Smith is in a kind of hell that only he can get himself out of.

"I'm thinking of the scene where Eli Wallach is getting beat up in the sergeant's cabin and it zooms in on the guy and he's just so sweaty. Dripping sweat and he's just like trying to like squeeze the eyes out of Eli Wallach. Yeah. Crazy. And that's like, yeah, this would be a good companion to do those movies back to back, and you can see how much this movie changed westerns. And interesting. To do that more European aesthetic. The lines have been good and bad and ugly or blurred. They're murky. And to where you don't have those heroes anymore, like you used to. It reflects not only that European mindset, but also the mindset of the 60s. You know, where it's like you had like the biggest box office star in the late 60s with Steve McQueen. And he excelled at playing people like Clint Eastwood, who were like kind of ambiguous. You didn't know where they stood in terms of good and evil sometimes. So it definitely reflects the times. It definitely changed the way that we looked at this as genre. Maybe a little more accurate to the period, you know? It definitely felt like this movie I was trying to portray the Civil War era a little bit more accurately kind of display a lot of the violence and war. Yeah..

It's a drastically different character. But like as soon as Sean Connery, like that first scene that you see like where he's like for the first time, he's James Bond. You're like, oh, this dude's like the coolest fucking life on Planet Earth. That seems fun. You're not wondering on screen who's James fond is like that's the guy. Yeah. It's unbelievable. I'm trying to think. I watched point blank from 1967 at John boorman movie. I think it's a point break. You know, great. My wife actually thought I was talking about point break. She was like, wait, is that the one? Gary Busey. Little meatball sandwiches, you tagged me too, is that it? Not close. You're 30 years off. Yeah. Point blank is probably one of the best movies I've seen in the last 5 years of my life. I was like completely blown away by it. If you're looking for an old like revenge thriller movie, I think that is probably one of the best movies ever made. If you're just looking for it's on the criterion channel for two more weeks. If you have the criterion channel, watch it. It's fucking unbelievable. I'm just looking up, release date. August 30th, 1967, unbelievable. It's great. It's great poster art, too. I feel like movies have moved away from that. Like the old school movie posters are so good. They're so good. I've been like debating. So there are these things called steel boxes, right? Because eventually this podcast is moving to video. And we're kind of like working out the kinks on that now, right? So I've been trying to figure out what I would do for background. There are these things called steelbox DVDs that often have really cool artwork. So I've been trying to decide do I want to just get a bunch of these and have that kind of sit in a bookcase behind me. And a lot of them have that old movie poster kind of thing. I just think of my dad's big Steve McQueen fans. We had like bullet, we had great escape, those type of really iconic posters pictures on our basement grown up. It's funny I almost popped on great escape. I feel like away from any movie that I mentioned. What if and what we do video, I just want to clear clear this up now. I'm not being held hostage, just it's likely going to be a white wall or a weird wallpaper. They stayed at work too long..

"Contradiction in that movie. But like this incredible numbness. I've always thought it's amazing that the character in zodiac at ruffalo plays based Or to both bullet end dirty. Harry were based on him and bullet. Steve mcqueen is so self doubting scared and worried that all this exposure violence making him numb and he's a tragic thing for a minute and then dirty carries just like totally totally internalized Of anger if anything. It's anger at the people who don't let rock and roll you know and that That people said it was a non-performance or a blank performance. It's an incredible performance. It's an a in dirty harry. I think as much as man with no name. It solidifies quintas a kind of anti hero. Except i don't know if the movie has the same ambivalence about him that that may be it should and by the time of the sequels it becomes the people to just cheer. I mean dirty. Harry becomes a franchise and that's i think. We're a lot of the critical impatience in scorn that he underwent kind of comes from people. Like you know what this is. Really kinda tiresome. You are a version of the sequel. Itis that's wrecking other. Parts of of hollywood. Like he was not really those those did not help him get taken seriously in the period that he was turning them out even though tight rope in an impact a really interesting really interesting movies. Yeah i think i. I have a lot of appreciation for the second and the third dirty harry films which i'll probably talk about me. Get to my list. And there's a reason for that and it speaks to. I think a lot of the conversation we already had about him and his reflection on his own persona but okay. So let's just say for the sake of conversation. There are six or seven kind of signature archetypes right. There's the the the lone gunman who comes to town. There's the cop seeking kind of justice. There's the stoic soldier. There's the the the conman the crook the kind of the near dwell. There's the cranky old man which were very familiar with these days. And there's the kind of nobleman of those types which would which clint you guys like the most chris. What about you. i'm still. I'm still a cowboy at heart. I actually like liked different versions of all of these movies but for the most part like i think that his he's he's one of the three or four best western filmmakers and one of the two or three best western actors. Adamant about you. I mean again. This will come up in our lists. But when i think about the onscreen eastwood too i like the most. It's ones and i'm not trying to be contrary. But like they kinda slip in between the seems like i love his performances neural group together in the mid nineties. I love clint where he still kind of witty and playful and physically up to it. But there's this this undercurrent of roofless and wisdom regardless of genre. I group things. Like in the line of fire with bridges of madison county and absolute power like does imperfect world like. It seems hard to reconcile those movies because they're all very different. But that's the eastwood..

Sad news i thought i would resurface an interview that i recorded with williams just over a decade ago. Shortly after the first season of boardwalk empire we sat down outside of a cafe in brooklyn which is why the audio quality of this episode is not always. Great to discuss his roller-coaster life and career. And i was blown away by his story and his candor about it as i was by his talent over the course of our conversation. We discussed this complicated childhood and the incident on the night of his twenty fifth birthday. That left him with large facial scar how he became a dancer in music videos. And then through that. An actor. How the rapper to pasha core and the casting director alexa fogel gave him the biggest break of his career. But how even the great success that followed did not help to radically kate his personal struggles plus much more and so without further. Do and with condolences to all who knew and loved michael. Let's go to that conversation. First of all. I have to tell you. I've only recently watched the wire. I didn't see during day. I've watched every episode of boardwalk.

I've gone to church and I said, Steve, because you go in and out of a barn don't mean your cow. Normally that would zap somebody else. It might have been a put down, but it's Steve wanted to listen a little bit more Stand basically asked, you know, Do you have our relationship with God? That's that's the key. I told Steve, I think my story and, uh, you know how I came to Christ and how to change my life. And he was not offended. He was inquisitive and listen to what I had to say. So Stan left McQueen two books, including Mere Christianity, You know, I said, Steve, this ain't no rehearsal, man.

"This time during the voting process, and I notice you're focused on the limited series category. What ended up being nominated there? And why do you think that's an area to watch? Well, there was just so much competition. I mean, we're at a time where projects that might normally have been sort of mid level movies are instead becoming these limited series with big stars like Kate Winslet's Mirror of East Town on HBO, which did get nominated, But a lot of great projects couldn't get nominated because of that competition in limited series, so director Steve McQueen's wonderful small acts on Amazon Prime video didn't get nominated. Uh, Nicole Kidman's the undoing, didn't get nominated, and Kidman herself also wasn't nominated as best actress in a limited series for the undoing. So that was a pretty big snob. I was glad to see the HBO searing drama about this woman who was sexually assaulted. Call. I may destroy You was nominated in that category, along with the Creator and star Mikayla Cole. She was criminally overlooked earlier this year by the Golden Gloves, so at least Emmy was able to rectify that. Want to dig into Disney a little bit more because between the Star Wars shows and one division and you know the extensions of the Marvel universe. It got a lot of Emmy nom. So what does that signal to you? Geek power. Okay, I'm a comics there, and I'm gonna admit it, And but I was glad to see a change in this dynamic. Where, um, you know, superhero shows are horror shows get overlooked. Marvel got his first major Emmy nominations with one division, HBO's horror series. Lovecraft Country and Amazon superheroes satire. The boys got major nominations and for comic book fans like me, It's just a little bit of validation to see that the genres that we love are getting a little more respect. Any surprise picks? Well, I was I was glad to see that post R N. J. Rodriguez made history as the first openly transgender performer who was nominated in a major acting category. Nominated for best lead actress in a drama. And we had a lot of great high quality shows featuring non white cast do well like Lovecraft, Country and Hamilton on distant plus and the underground railroad. I just hope we'll see more non white nominees who are not black, but we need more Latinos and more Asians and more non white people who are not black movie nominated, but they did a good job with diversity as well this year..

Solomon know he had everything. This world offers mcqueen in his day was the number one movie star in the world. He he had incredible. Wealthy had women throwing themselves at him and he was a willing recipient. I might add the coolest cars motorcycles. He bought a airplane hangar to store his cool stuff. It was like the ultimate man cave. He lived the dream and saw the emptiness of it and walked away from hollywood at the peak of his fame and moved to this. Little town called santa paula. California it's like small town usa because it reminded him of the town. I grew up in as a young boy. A slater missouri. And the reason he moved there also was because santa. paula would the n. T. plane capital of the world and steve bodice german biplane very old playing. Because they wanted to learn to fly. He didn't know it but he was setting himself up for what god had for him. Because it was only one guy qualified to teach people to fly in this german biplane and there was a guy named sammy mason. That was a totally committed. Disciple of jesus christ. But here's how. Sammy reach steve mcqueen not by fawning over him in fact that cool thing is deep call says i want to learn how to fly in sammy enters and says i'm not taking on new clients right now. New students and steve says well. This is steve mcqueen and he says i don't care i'm not taking on new students right now. Steve couldn't believe it whenever he said he was. Everyone wanted to help him so back. I'm steve mcqueen. I'm a movie star. I want you to teach. I don't care he says. I'm not taking on new students later that day. Semi says his son pete yes.

Well steve it's my relationship with jesus christ and then steve said will you let me come to church with you so see bags the us. You could go to church with sammy. He ended up in church. He heard pastor leonard dewitt speak. Who's still alive. And i've talked with leonard. An amazing guy. And steve came to faith. But you see it. Was someone living the life and stimulating a thirst. Someone else for jesus christ. Are you doing that right now. One last point a disciple will bring forth spiritual fruit a disciple bring for spiritual fruit. Now this is not here in fourteen. This is in john. Fifteen where jesus says in john. Fifteen eight by this is my father. Glorified that you bear much fruit. So show you be my disciples if you are really a disciple of jesus. You'll have fruit in your life. You'd say but what does that mean fruit in my life emmys results. It means evidence another way of putting it. If you were arrested for being a christian would there be enough evidence to convict you by evidence. I don't mean bibles laying around or christian bumper stickers and things like that. I mean evidence where they would talk to people you know. Look at your lifestyle. So i can see the evidence in their life and one of the first things we do as a christian is we bring forth with the bible calls fruit in keeping with repentance. Hissy so your buddies.

Things and that intrigues them. Also perplexes them but you should be known by your repentant. That's one way to bring forth fruit. Giving praise and things to god is a way of bearing fruit. We're told by him. This us offer the sacrifice of praise to god continually at is the fruit of your lips so earlier in worship when we sang the praises of the lord that was bringing forth fruit when we gave in the offering that was bringing forth fruit.

S my favorite of like alien alien counters alien movies and you have to remember also. This was spielberg again. This was spielberg's third movie third motion picture ever. It's so huge so amazing and it's also so personal because he has said obviously it's got it's the only there's only what three movies they have the distinction of having spielberg's name in the screenwriting credits This is one of them now. Granted there it. He has gone on record saying that. There are other writers who did help him so it wasn't like he was the only one who touched the screenplay Paul schrader was part of it. Matthew robbins Nick howard sackler did did a redrafting jerry nelson and you know were there. Were several people who helped him But he but he he is the main plot screenwriter of this and the actors you mentioned. Oh my god which was funny. Because apparently the original person spielberg wanted for the role of of roy neary was It was g happen. He asked yes. Jack nicholson and he said effects would overpower him in the movie of big names he wanted. He wanted steve mcqueen. Let's right that was the very first person he asked. Steve mcqueen read it and said i can't do it. I can't cry on. Cue your script me cry but i cannot cry on cue so it was very very interesting. began when it was funny. I guess Richard dreyfuss was bad mouthing all of the other actors down he says pacino's too crazy. Jack nicholson's too loud coco and going on behalf a brilliant and then you've got france Francois truffaut in that iconic thing and one thing about this also. It's the second time that john williams does this. He makes the score integral to the movie man. So you have those doodoo due to do and it's just that throughout the whole thing and you don't know why it that's there until the very end when they when the aliens come and find out what that was about and it's it was a welcome. It was a well. It's a welcome through music and the light show that they do. It's broad it's brilliant. And then yes at the favorites favorite devils tower. We ever see that that. Hasten i wanna go i wanna go to mont mentana wyoming. Thank you yes. I think i would love to visit that place and then ask. Music is going. The lights are going as fades out.

There's something very special about knowing somebody loves you to your core, Andre. When he looked at me in that way I described when he was holding my arm. I've often puzzled about this because I knew that he saw me. More completely than I understood myself. There's something about Hey loved me like the true essence of me that I couldn't quite know from the inside. That's a really interesting and special feeling. Um, I think I had that again. No, it didn't matter about that. You know the imperfections of daily life, even though there was hard to deal with, it mattered who he really more for his call, which was like such a special Person.

The Big Picture
Beastie Boys Made a Movie. We Made a Beastie Boys Podcast.
"I'm Shawn Fantasy and this. Is the big picture a conversation? Show about Beastie Boys. That's right beastie. Boys made a movie beastie boys story which is directed by Spike Jones and available to watch right now on apple. Tv plus. If you're like me and worship Beastie boys you need to watch this movie later in the show. I'll be talking to add rock. And like diaw Beastie boys about their movie history their favorite fruits. How they're doing in quarantine. The New York Knicks documentaries that they want to see a bunch of other stuff as I tried to keep them focused on our conversation. A really love these guys beastie. Boys are my favorite band ever and it isn't even really close so to talk about them before we get to them. I asked the VIC Ferrari to my Alessandro Allegra. Join me it's Chris Ryan. Hi Chris. I've always seen myself more as a Nathan Wind Guy. I've been waiting my whole life to do this. Podcast so let's go. I'm very glad you're here with me. I can't think of anybody else. I'd WanNa have here other than you. Except maybe Mike the Inadequacy and they're coming later. So when I say beastie boys what's the first thing that pops in your head Chris? Probably the invention of cool so I think one thing that we've talked about a lot over the last twelve to eighteen months. We've had a lot of Quentin Tarantino podcasts. We've we celebrated a lot of his movies on the watchable. We talked about them on. Big Picture Podcast with him and something that comes up. Ally is kind of how he gave us a vocabulary or language to through which to understand culture and understand the world and I think the Beastie boys are equally responsible for that in both of our lives in terms of introducing us to so much music and so much other culture that wound up becoming just part of our like way in which we relate to the rest of the world through these like Kung Fu and exploitation movies through rap Reggae punk rock weird funk like all like it just basically made collectors and fans out of out of us at the risk of stepping on music exists. I wanted to ask you why you think you. And I to some extent to are so interested in figures who are all about basically like recombinant culture. You know who take all the disparate parts of stuff that they love and smash it all together because that is the thing that the movie and then returning to all of this music that I listened to over and over and over and over again in my life that I have thought about is like wow they really just jammed all the stuff they liked together to make something new like. What is it about that? The second part of what you said is the most important thing. Do you think about the people that we really respond to. Wu Tang clan quitting Tarantino. Beastie boys it means we're very basic very and B. It's the most important part is finding the second thing the thing that you're GonNa make out of all this shit. And that's what makes me so excited is when someone uses all these postmodern tools in these reconstructs. All these things out of this of Cultural Ephemera to say something else. Wootten Klan took all those Kung Fu movies and took all those samples but made something that could only have been made in Staten Island. You know back could only have made the music. He made with the experience that he had. And the Beastie boys could only have been the beastie boys by combining bad brains with run DMC. Yeah and I feel like it's not a mistake that so much of what we do at the ringer and so much of what you and I have been trying to do in. Our lives is basically celebrate and be enthusiastic about the things that we care about and I feel like these artists are the same way if you if you think about Beastie boys and you even look at the way they tell their story in the movie. It's just we really liked was the clash and grandmaster flash and Cheech and Chong and we were trying to find a way to make all those things make sense together and I feel the same way about what we do every day I feel about you and I love the NBA and we love Top Gun and we love. I love deb's I don't know how you feel Dad's but You know just trying to find a way to make all those things fit together so I feel like I have aped and tried to copy a lot of what those guys do. And I feel like a kinship to their their mission their creative project. Absolutely I mean like you and I don't mean to make it sound like you. And I are the Beastie boys here but you know. I think that we use the Internet the way other people would use a sampler right and we draw in all these different media. We'd take youtube videos. We take a picture and I think it was probably more the case before we started working professionally together in an editorial capacity but we would have like tumblers and blog spots and you were just kind of like throw a picture Steve McQueen up in an article you were writing about those face and it would have some sort of relationship and I think that that was our way of continuing along this tradition of mixing and matching different pieces of culture to say something about yourself. The thing that you said that I think is probably one of the most important parts of the movie that will nocco very remarked upon because a lot of it is going to be spent talking about. Yok and it should be because this is very much I think an image to him in a real moving tribute to their friend but when Mike D says in the beginning of the movie that he was just this weird kid who found the clash. Not only is that like. That's the origin story for a lot of people. Who like they find that one band? Whether it's the dead or the clash or you know run DMC. Whoever it is that makes them think that they are now. All of not alone in the world the clashes like a really really important. Template for the Beastie boys because they are basically A Crossroads Group A marketplace. At Crossroads Group. It's where all these different cultures are coming. And they're setting up their wares and you can pick and choose off these tables and then you go home and you make something out of it. And that's what the clash did too. I mean you can make a lot of arguments about appropriation. And whether or not the people who the clash were taken from or or paying homage to properly compensated for the work that they did And the same thing could go. For the Beastie boys but I think a lot more people know about Lee Perry. Because of the Beastie boys did not you know and and that's like a really really important act in culture. Everything is about timing too I think about when they hit the scene and who they were working with and on the one hand I guess there's an appropriation question. I think they've moved past that so effectively because they were just literally there with Russell. Simmons and Rick Rubin and run DMC making music together and they were a part of something that was essentially punk at the end of its first true like lightning rod phase at the end of the day and and rapid the Dawn. You know I mean. They weren't there necessarily in in the parks in the south. Bronx but you know one thousand nine hundred. Eighty three played on the radio. Yeah Yes yes. And there's that great moment in the movie where Africa is asked about cookie. Post by one of the members of the Beastie boys and you can see like they're they're they're they're in the moment and they're going to dense area and you know performing for white people introducing them to wrap it away and that couldn't have happened if they if it was just five years earlier five years later. The same is true for the class. You know it's like they arrived at a time when the world was ready to hear rock and try to play reggae. And what that means for the future reggae. There's something also about this specific approach to the world though that jumps out to me. Which is it's not. Just this is what we like. It's this is what we like and I don't care if you don't like it and I don't I actually don't care if you don't get it because when I think about the things that I knew when I first heard the band it was you could fit it inside of a very small box. I just did my cultural reference points. The music that I knew about the the records the comedy everything that they were throwing in. I wouldn't say that I discovered them because they were sampled for three seconds on a on a record on policy boutique but they were a window. You know I had never heard of Sadaharu. Oh until I heard the beastie boys rap about him you know like there's so much in their music the sampling the lyric writing even if it is in their songs are very rarely like high minded. They're not necessarily pursuits of big ideas. But they put big ideas in front of you. Just by dint of what they were interested in and I I liked that kind of take it or leave it quality they bring to it and I feel like that really comes out in the movie too. Don't you think yeah? It's only a couple of people are lucky enough to have other people care about the thing that they care about. You know you can. You can play the game and you can try. Ride the wave of what's popular at any given moment. But it's so weird because what the beastie boys did especially once they move to La. I think wound up having such an incredibly profound formative effect on all the culture that comes after it but it so it winds up being underrated as as to what a zag that was how crazy it was for those guys to be like. Yeah we'RE GONNA LEAVE NEW YORK. We're GONNA leave behind rapper. We're going to go to capitol from Def Jam. And we're GONNA work with these two producers that basically no one's ever heard of an assemble these like really out there incongruous samples to build together a new sound that we're gonNA use to define us for the next couple of decades. The only thing I wanted to talk about because I think is probably also a reason why you and I like them. Much is that and this comes across very much in the movie much
Rock N Roll Archaeology
Opening Act - Rumors in Rock
"First false rumor. Did you ever hear the rumor about Keith? Moon driving a Rolls Royce into a hotel pool. I've heard a lot of stories about Keith. Moon well. He is the quintessential rock and roll guy and bad boy he definitely collected Nazi memorabilia. He may have bitten. Steve McQueen's Hog and blew up his drums win. The WHO played on the smothers brothers. Comedy Hour. I cannot wait to do his episode I am. I have like four books based on. Keith Moon I am. I am locked and loaded. I Love Keith. He is my soul. Well so those things may be true however there was a rumor that he drove a Rolls Royce into a pool at the Holiday Inn in Flint Michigan on his twenty. First Birthday. This is not true. According to Pete Townsend. The story is actually a combination of two different stories. That has become one not true rumor. So Keith Moon. In one of the stories like one of the incidents he left the Hamburg off of a car and it rolled into a pool which was under construction and to not have any water in hit home. Which would be worse though driving? Dr Into a pool with water or driving a car into a pool without water but he didn't drive the car into that. I'm just like either one either or I'm just saying like it just rolled in on its own. Which would do more damage I think you're pretty much screwed either way fair enough. The cars a loss of it goes near the pool. Yeah Okay and then so the second story that this was combined with to create the not true drove. Rolls Royce. Into a pool was that he charged new car to the band. Who refuse to pay for it. So Moon drove it into a muddy pond in his garden and call the dealer to come pick it up. So it's too true. Stories rolled into one story right. That's not true. Yeah Oh yeah. It's incredible and that's not our last Keith. Moon rumor either. Nope our next one which is true now okay. I should say with the caveat that these are true and false based on articles that we both read and so there might be room for error. So this is just like fun. Yeah it's just fun and it's inauguration. It's yeah just what we found. No one has photographic evidence. It's just fun fun so I hope you guys out. Don't get angry and you're like that never happened or that did happen bub-bubba so like don't don't get mad at us is just this is just meant to be fun and a little bit looser so and just for us to kind of talk off the cuff so Our next one. Which is true. Is All about Ozzy Osbourne. Oh my so ozzy. Osbourne achieved infamy overnight after incident on January twentieth nineteen eighty two in Des Moines Iowa during the height of his drug problem. That is putting it mildly. Ozzy Osbourne was performing when an audience member through a bat on stage. The singer believing that it was rubber and I do believe that he thought it was robbery. I don't think he would have. I believe that too. Yeah bid off its head as a stunt only to find out that the bat was real and alive not only that but as he declares in liner notes to the two thousand two reissue of diary of a madman. The Bat wound up biting him as well which forced him to be treated for rabies. The incident fed his rock madman legend along with the one time that he bit off the head of a dove which basically what happened was when he first met with Columbia records in Nineteen ninety-one. He took a live dub into the meeting with him and bit off the head in front of the horrified executives. Awful yeah so crazy man out. I wouldn't sign him to a record deal yeah. He was also arrested for urinating on. Or near the Alamo. And while on tour with Motley crue he allegedly got into a one upmanship. Dare contest with Nikki. Nikki six and I'm sorry that is at is a contest. I would never even get close to know but he ended up snorting a line of ants better than biting the heads off live animals. I think though no okay. The dove thing is kind of unforgivable. The bad thing is understandable. But you snorted a line of ants would if they were fire ants also. You just have ants in your sinuses now. I'm sad I read that. Oh my God you have to elaborate immediately regretted it I apologize. You should move on move on Thanksgiving on next all right. Here's a good one Kay cass. Elliot choke to death on a ham sandwich. Can We bury this now? Please yeah really not cool. I don't like this lie at all. This rumors terrible are you. Doing Mama Cass. Yes I am all right so this came up. Following a series of sold out gigs. In London Mama Cass retired to her apartment where she died of heart failure on July. Twenty Ninth Nineteen Seventy Four. A rumor spread very quickly that she died from choking on a ham sandwich which is just a horrible thing to say you know yes. She was a little overweight route. So it's believed that the rumor started when Dr Anthony. Greenberg the physician who I examined CASS. After her death wrote she appeared to have been eating a ham sandwich and drinking coca cola while lying down a very dangerous thing to do. She seemed to have choked on her ham sandwich. So so great job Dr Greenberg for that one. But point of fact her autopsy showed that a heart problem leading to heart. Failure was the cause of death not a sandwich or any other item lodged in her throat or trachea. She had actually had very little to eat the day before she died like her stomach was pretty clear. No dead I'm actually going to piggyback and double down on a Mama Cass and Keith Moon. True story with us. They were not but they did die in the same apartment. Yeah rockstars have been taken from US. Way Too young and it just so happens that two brilliant musicians died in the same apartment at the same age of thirty two Singer Harry Nilsson I love. That's my alarm. Every morning I wake up to his song. GotTa get out okay. If you've seen the show Russian dolls you'll know why I wake up to a song every day but He renounced his London flat to friends when he was traveling. And so on June twenty ninth nineteen seventy four Mama Cass of the Mamas. And the Papas was staying in the flat while she was on tour and died of heart failure in her sleep and on September seventh. Nineteen seventy eight Keith. Moon of the WHO overdosed on a sedative in that very same apartment which is eerie because they died in the same apartment under the same landlord at the same age.
