That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original, something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Metaxas. Hey there, folks, welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. I'm not here. Chris, I'm not here. It seems like you're here. Well, it seems like I'm here now. But when we air this, I will not be here. I will be away, far, far away. I'm going to Ultima Thule. Do you know where that is? Because I don't, but the captain of the ship knows, and he's taken us to Ultima Thule. Wow. Sounds like you made up that that name. Yeah, I think it's mythical. Yeah, but anyway, no, but we thought we would pre record a segment, which that's this segment right now, because people write us letters and things. And I thought some of which we can share, some of which we can share. So I wanted to read this one. Someone wrote, well, we've got a few here that are kind of cool. And so I thought, let me let me read them. So this one says this is from Tori. It's well, it says, Hello, Eric. I read your biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer a few years back. It may be one of the most impactful books I've read. And you are in serious company among Thomas Sowell, Wendell Berry, and, of course, Dostoevsky. Of course, Dostoevsky, who wouldn't compare me and my writings to Dostoevsky? Sure. But seriously, I read something like this and I just say, you know, because I joke around and I try to be light. But that's that really means a lot to me that somebody would read my Bonhoeffer book and put it in. That's high cotton for context. This person writes, Tori writes, I was raised in a small town of mostly German Americans in Wisconsin, and my high school managed to avoid studying World War Two during history classes. Now, that is interesting because the shame. It's why I wrote the Bonhoeffer book as a German. Your shame for the Holocaust, for what happened. You're trying to process that. And so in a sense, I wrote my book to help Germans and others understand that there were many good Germans. I was going to title the book, actually, The Good German, because I thought to myself, nobody really. Talks about the fact that there were Germans like Bonhoeffer who stood up in the face of evil, who spoke out for the Jews. It really I felt it was a story that needed to be told, and it's why I wrote it. But it's interesting that that Tori writes that, you know, growing up in Wisconsin, among so many German Americans, they didn't even study World War Two. She writes, even in the 70s, 1970s, the subject was too raw in the past few years. I felt a profound sense that Bonhoeffer's story was pressing on us, on our culture. It felt as if you wrote Letter to the American Church. That's the new book in response to my own yearning. Thank you and may the peace and power of God's presence be with you always Tori. So we get a lot of letters. We don't get to read all of them, but that it just means a lot to me. And I do think that I want to say that letter to the American Church. I probably said this before, but when I was writing the Bonhoeffer book, this is amazing. It's 2008. I had no clue what I would discover. So as I'm writing the story of what happened to Germany, I'm kind of like smelling the future, like I'm thinking this. I feel like this could happen in America because the church during his time, they didn't really respond in it. Well, they didn't understand what was happening, and therefore they didn't do what could have been done to change things. Right. Right. So I kind of felt like I could sort of see this happening in America, and I felt it a little bit when I was writing the book. But in recent years, it's become really clear to me that, oh, yeah, that's exactly what is happening now. People want to know how evil took over in Germany was because of the silence of the German church. And often it was the German church, good people who felt like the smart thing to do is to be silent. And they were wrong, but that doesn't mean that they were evil, but they were complicit with evil. At the end of the day, they were very, very wrong. At the end of the day, they were complicit if they didn't repent. And so I wrote a letter to the American church, kind of like what this woman, Tori, is saying, that it's a you could you could feel that the Bonhoeffer story was becoming our story in America. And so I just felt I talked about on the Jordan Peterson podcast and in many other places I've never, ever, ever, ever felt God calling me to write a book. Now, to some people, that sounds loony. I you know, I don't know what to tell you, but it does feel to me like. I I had never felt I had never felt that feeling before that I've got to write this in obedience to God because this is happening now and I need to write this and I need to reach the Christians and the Christian leaders that are capable of being reached. Some are not. Some have just somehow tuned this out permanently. They're doing their own thing. Yeah. We also get a letter which is asking a question. So I'm going to read this if we have the time. This is about the concept of women pastors. It says, Eric, recently, the Southern Baptist Convention removed Saddleback Church from fellowship because Rick Warren ordained a woman pastor. Next year, the SBC convention will move to exclude from fellowship all Southern Baptist churches that have women pastors. They're using the scripture First Timothy, chapter three to say that being a pastor is limited to men. It seems to me that God can call whomever to do anything. Paul wrote Timothy within the context of a patriarchal society. What's your position on this issue? Thank you. And I think the name of the person who wrote this is Ivan. Well, this is a complicated one for me. I don't know what I think about this. I don't have a really, really firm views on this subject. When somebody says it seems to me that God can call whomever to do anything. That's really vague. I don't know what that means. You know, God cannot call a man to give birth. There are certain fixities in what we call reality. So to say that God can call someone to do anything it's just too vague for for me. I don't know what that means, whether women can be ordained as pastors. I speak at churches where they have the husband and his wife or pastors, so and so and so and so. And I don't have a particular problem with that. But what I find interesting is the idea where people get upset when somebody does have a view on it and they just say, well, that's not right. Like you should you should. In other words, if the Southern Baptist Convention has a fixed view on this, you don't need to be a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. But if you want to be a member of Southern Baptist Convention, you have to go along with with their rules. And don't be shocked if they say if you break our rules, you can no longer be a part of the club because those are the rules of the club. And it's the same thing with the Catholic Church. You know, you've got people angry about Catholic. It's like, look, the doctrine is the doctrine. And if you don't like it, you don't have to be a member of that that denomination. So I'm always but because I don't I don't know what I what I think about this. I mean, I feel like I can see both sides of it. And I and so I've I've never really been been clear on it. It's not it's not a deal breaker for me. And I think it all depends on what one means by being a pastor, because obviously women can do ministry. And so what are the limits of that and how does that work? I don't know. I don't know. But it's interesting because there was another church that's I think it's called Elevate.
History That Doesn't Suck
Fresh update on "wendell" discussed on History That Doesn't Suck
"Pressing beyond the stories of our friends from Harlem, the list of doughboys for whom Christmas 1917 will be their last is not short. From Cantigny to the blood-soaked wheat fields and trees of bellow wood to the red-tinged waters of the Marne River, the dead at Saint-Mihiel, and the absolute slaughter at the Meuse-Argonne. Bullets, mortars, gas, artillery, and disease all do their part in putting well over 100,000 young soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force in graves before the armistice of November 11th, 1918. Surely, their collective millions of friends and family members back in the states miss them mightily that December. Many will miss seeing their laughing, smiling faces sipping on eggnog for countless December's to come. Yet, the holiday season of 1918 isn't as mournful as that last sentence might sound. The armistice fills Americans with deep gratitude as Thanksgiving approaches. Indeed, this feeling of thanks hits so forcefully that it creates an interfaith bond as the nation's thanks and celebrating miracles. See, it just so happens that, in 1918, the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving. This leads to combined services across the nation, from a German-language service at the Balk Street Synagogue in Akron, Ohio to an address by Rabbi Stephen Wise to a congregation of Presbyterians at the Free Synagogue in Manhattan. But the victory seen in Yonkers is particularly impressive. Here, Reverend Wendell Keel and Father Richard O'Hughes deliver sermons, a crowd of 3,000 joins in with a massive choir to sing the Star-Spangled Banner, and finally, Rabbi Gabriel Schulman offers a benediction. To quote Mayor William Wallin's opening speech, Not since there appeared to those lonely shepherds on the hills of Bethlehem the angel of the Lord has there been echoed through any land a song so joyful as the one now being sung throughout the length and breadth of America. But grateful as Americans are for the end of the fighting, Uncle Sam's doughboy nephews won't be home for Christmas. Not in 1918, at any rate. As we know from the past two episodes, an armistice is not the same as a peace treaty. And so, even though the guns are silent, General Blackjack Pershing and his now millions-strong AEF must remain in France, ready to recommence hostilities if terms are not honored. This doesn't only mean the men on the front. Let's remember the many men and women who hold the combined American forces together from behind the lines, like the service of supply, our Red Cross nurses, and those brilliant bilingual switchboard operating women we met in episode 139, the Hello Girls. Lieutenant Colonel Roy H. Coles understands and appreciates the crucial role that the Hello Girls have played in the war, and wants them to know of his appreciation for their continued sacrifice of being away from home for the holidays. He writes to them on Christmas Day 1918, quote, the circumstances under which we are spending this particular Christmas are unusual. The consciousness of your skillful performance and the realization that you have contributed in no small measure to the success which has crowned our arms are your recompenses, close quote. That same Christmas Day, President Woodrow Wilson sees several thousand khaki-clad doughboys. Having just come to France for the yet-to-begin peace conference, the professorial president visits the AEF training center located a little less than 200 miles southeast of Paris, near the town of Langres. Dressed in a top hat and fine fur coat, Woodrow stands with his wife Edith, General Blackjack Pershing, and other dignitaries on a wooden platform as thousands of American soldiers parade across the open, muddy field. It's a fine display. Blackjack then says a few words and introduces the president, who, in turn, addresses these young Americans, whose hard fighting and sacrifices have played a pivotal role in leading to the war-ending negotiations that will start in a matter of weeks.

This happened at the at the censorship hearing with today this is Linda Sanchez. Jim, I'm relying on you because I hadn't seen it yet. Linda Sanchez, one of the dumbest members of Congress, amazingly, she cites the fact that she's an attorney and then completely blows it by citing an already discredited debunked standard free speech, the infamous fire in a movie theater thing. Here, listen to this. Now, I'm an attorney by training. And one of the things I learned very early on in constitutional law is that no right given to the people States of the United is absolute. And that includes the right to free speech because you do not have the right to shout States has set out fire in a crowded theater because it could produce harm and death of the people of the United States. Please, please please listen. I'm I can't believe I'm doing this again. I can't believe this is not for you in the audience. Please. I am NOT talking down to you.

"The story of behind there goes my life because how many this one, I mean again, whether it actually happened to you're not, there's so many people relate to this song. That's a fact. Like no other song that I've been a part of, we've gotten more response, more feedback, more letters, and emails about how this affected their life. And this song actually was my co writer Wendell mobley, who Lee Miller is good friends with. We all write together, but I've had most of my success with Wendell. And this was his idea. And he actually lived a little bit of this song way back when he was young. And we held on to this idea. It was his idea. He brought to the table. We had it all written down, but we hadn't started working on it. I bet a year went by and we had that idea laying around. And the only line that we had was. We had a line, one of the lines in the song, I can't even remember which one it was. We had laid down, but I know we had the title written down in our notebooks back when we were still actually writing words down and not typing them down. We had there goes my life, you know, the teddy bear line and all that stuff was written out, but we hadn't actually put the song together. And then one day we just did Nick happened so fast. By the time we got that song written to the time we recorded it like the next day in a week's time, Kenny had heard it and was going to record it. And it seemed like a week or two later, it was on the radio, but I know it wasn't that quick, but it felt like that's how fast that song happened. And it went up the charts and hung up there for about 7 weeks at number one. It was a big old song. I wound up, I wound up singing it at one of my daughter's graduations. They asked me to come do it when the school called my about threw up when they asked me to do that because there's no way I'm gonna be able to get through this song looking at those caps and gowns. I mean, I can't do this. But I did, and I made it through it. We did good. We got nominated for ACM song of the year. Went to Vegas, and we didn't win. It didn't matter.

"Out like he blows out what he thinks is Wendell and wild at one point and it's just like, he's like, you don't look well. I'm like, oh. You guys look really sick. And then I thought it was funny too because then you see something I don't think we see often, which is like parental, I don't want to say regret, but like parental regret because you see the father demon kind of lamenting the fact that he's had all these children and they've gone off and they've never come home and we see that with a lot of parents and children who feel like they have it unsatisfactory. Upbringings, they'll just leave. And they won't come back. And the best part was when man barge was like, nah, I captured them all. They're my army. Well, sadly, I feel like anybody can have a child, but not everybody can be a parent. I fully agree with that. Yeah, so that's basically what I got out of this. I mean, he definitely had children, but he wasn't a parent. Even with Wendell and wild, he wasn't a parent to them. He was more like a controller. Yeah, he enslaved him. I didn't know that he was their father until Wendell and wild were like, dad. Yeah, so I mean, I see that I see that real life. Oh, absolutely. I work in retail. You work in retail. And I've watched with parents interacting with their children. Some parents just so verbally abusive, and I stare at them and I want to intervene, but I'm like, you know what? It's not my place. I shouldn't say anything. I'm just going to sit back and do my thing. Because it's just a can of worms. You don't want to get into it. It is. And then you never want to step up. Especially like when you're in a workplace setting like you don't know what could happen or what could pop off. But no, I see it. And it's so true. And this is why, without getting too preachy or on a tangent, but this is why we have to have healthcare that actually supports this because getting pregnant is not this biblical miracle everyone thinks it is. Anyone can get pregnant, but not everyone should be parents. We should allow women and families to have this openness and free will to choose what they want to do with their bodies. So I agree. It's a 100%. In this movie, you see the father demon, he should have never been a parent. Never ship on parent. He should have just been this ring master that he wanted to be with this circus on his belly. I don't know. And I think it's great. He busts through the world to come out to get his children, but then you're a demon. Like the concept of a demon come into the world is to take over the world. And this guy has no design to take over the world. He just he's up there because they stole his hair cream. They sold his hair cream and he literally just wants to like chill in hell with a fair going on on his stomach. The way that this world accepts the Supernatural, I have said it once and I'll say it again. It makes no sense to the point where they're doing a vote. So Wendell and wild are schemers at the end of the day. They're demons they're schemers. They scheme to bring back all The Old Guard that would vote for the prison. They go to a council meeting full of actual human beings and vote as zombies and everyone's like, yep, it's past. What? And then when they get arrested, they bring back zombie brewers to be like, yep, these people started the fire. No one questions it. Everyone's like, oh, these are the witnesses, yep. Oh, these are the votes. Yup. What? These people you already just said, these people have been dead for 20 years. And now we're just going to allow them to vote. I think that was kind of the concept of we're blind to the stuff around us. I think so. Oh, totally. And that feeds into the prison systems and corporations. I think they're saying Americans and other countries are blind to the big corporations and what they do. And of course we just accept and I think that's what that was. That was a way of them saying, we're so commonly accepting stuff that we're oblivious to the reality. Which is true because here at demons are burst in through those graveyard. We got zombies vote in the city council. Being witnesses, I don't know. It was so funny to me that I was just like, what was it? A few years ago, when they were doing the presidential election votes, they found people, people that were dead for like, oh yeah. We're voting. I get it. I mean, I get what they were trying to say. And it's true. It's true. I mean, big corporations can manipulate the little man. It's a believing in you. Absolutely. And we see the plan class court. It's basically the KK. The imagery and the way that they spell things is so very clear to the point where they all have this very bleached white hair that is then on the father a wig. I thought that was hysterical. I was like, okay. Yeah, it was pretty cool. So I totally enjoyed the movie. I think that you get a chance you should watch it. If you're a fan of climate, you're going to absolutely love it. If you're not a fan of climate, you're going to absolutely love it because it was very well done. It was very well done. And I think it's super accessible. It's super fun, and it's just like a great movie. Would I recommend it for kids 12 and under? No. Absolutely not. Yeah, that's a lot of adult content. It's very adult. But teens, young adults, adult, I think it's, I think it's a fun movie. Get you out of that Disney sort of cycle and just go and watch it support it, support Jordan Peele, support films like this that have this effortless inclusivity that we want because that's what our worlds becoming. And this I just felt was so topical and fun. It's a great movie. Yes, we've talked about how it gets a little messy and it could be longer. But we're nitpicking because that's what we do. We're here to be film critics. Exactly. But it's so fun. I can't recommend it enough. It's just a fun watch. Yeah, and I a 100% again recommend it. I get a chance again. It gets away from the stereotypical Disney. Everything spreads in peachy because in life everything's not rosy and peachy. It's not. And I mean, it does follow the formula of orphaned or as I would like to call Disney Princess because no Disney princesses of parents. They just have stepmothers. Right, right? Oh, no, no, no. No, what about the girl from not tangled, but the redhead? Oh, brave, brave. You're right. Yes. Okay. I'm wrong. But most of the time. And well, Ariel's got a dad. But Ariel is also dumb. Okay. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, being at Disney Princess means you don't have a mom. Yes. So I have nothing else to add to this. I again think it was great. Anything else? I have nothing else to add, but we do have some exciting things coming from our main host, The Wizard of Oz himself, Ben, do you want to talk about the projects that you have upcoming? So I have a couple of silly songs that were put on Spotify. So I'm technically recording artist. Hey, it's silly, silly, silly. On December 2nd, I have a book I wrote being released on Kindle. So fun and exciting times. It's very funny exciting. I have read it. I highly recommend it. If you're a fan of short stories, if you're a fan of comedy, if you're a fan of subtly veiled life lessons, and if you just want to have a good, easy, fun read for the holidays, get it for your Friends, get it for yourself, and support us in every way that you can. Yeah, because there's a lot of stuff going on with our podcast and everything in our general little group. We still got first fanatics on up and coming was happening to get more notoriety. The book's coming out. So fun things that come. And we just want to reiterate that we couldn't do any of this without you guys. You tune in, you listen to us. You support us and we're always here for you. So we think I can't thank you enough. This means the world to me. Sometimes I feel like I'm just shouting at the void, but

"Absolutely. And I think to bring it back to this movie is the point is that once you embrace who you are and accept everyone around you, together you're stronger. You're absolutely stronger together. And one of my favorite scenes of the movie because I loved how bonkers it was, was when all the zombies were charging in the bulldozers and then you just have these normal people just like fighting them. I thought it was, I thought it was so cool. It's done to one of my favorite songs wolf like me by TV on the radio. I thought it was such a fun scene. Yeah, I agree. I mean, I find myself enjoying the fact when common people come together to stop injustice. Exactly. Even what was that Sonic the Hedgehog? Were they saved sonic? I mean, it makes we all want to see that from people. We all want to see people stand up for injustice. Instead of sitting back and letting corporations and letting things run over them, standing up for themselves and saying, look, enough's enough. I want the world right. And that's what basically everything should be the world we should stand up together and want the world right. I totally agree. And I think people get within their own minds and their own prejudices and they can't see that. I feel like people lose sight of the main message, time and time again. So that's why I like when we watch movies like this. And we see that this is a new movie that came out. It just came out in October. And it's having this content that is hopeful. And it's inclusive and it's fun, and it does, and it's not, it's not preachy. It's just true, which is my biggest thing. Yeah. That's the funniest thing was the fact that it was hair cream that could bring back. Oh my God, the hair cream. Just like, it was so funny. And then my favorite part was when he was like, guys, why do you think you have to do this all the time? Because it doesn't last. I was just like, yeah, you're bald. But then like, okay, so let's get into some of the characters and dynamics of this story because there are so many. And the movie was only an hour 45, easily could have been longer, I thought. Because a dynamic, I would explore it, or at least like a subset show or movie from, was sister helly and the janitor, whose name I'm forgetting right now. Yeah, the Demon Slayer. Oh my God, he was so cool. We got a Demon Slayer in a wheelchair with no feet. I love his little sandal shoes. And his sister Halle, who is voiced by the amazing Angela Bassett. And I just thought that their dynamic was so cool, like him training her, her rebelling against him. Like, I was like, I want, this is a one off conversation, but I want more because I'm compelled. Okay, so what it reminded me of was blade. It okay. Oh my God, like Kris Kristofferson and blade. Now that you say it, I can unsee it, right? If you watch this movie and you look at it, it's just like, that comparison of those two is just like playing. Those two people are that, oh my God, now I can. I can't unsee this. Oh my God. And I love blade. Also, they're doing blade. Okay, I'm not going to get into this. Yeah, but that is such a good point because it's the same thing. You're using this person to live out your own desires and fantasies through capturing demons or killing vampires. Amazing. Now I can't unsee it. And I like the movie even more. And now I want them to have their own show even more. I like the two. I thought the banter between them was great. It was great. I wanted to learn more about sister. I was like, well, what's her backstory? Yeah, like how did she come to the school? How did she come to the school? How is she doing what she's doing? I loved it. I loved that she was like, I love, okay, so a protagonist like cat is very fun. Yes. And my favorite thing is when you have the precocious child who knows everything, which is cap because she's like, don't tell me. And then you have sister Holly being like, I was you. Can you just shut up and listen? Because I think so often, we let these young protagonists just like run through and just do whatever they want without any regard. It's like you have to listen. And I love their relationship and I loved when sister Halle was like, let's become bonded. I'm going to help you through this. And then I think his name was man barge. I don't really remember. And he was like, this could kill you. And she's like, I believe that it won't. And you could see their love for each other. Oh my God. I love this movie. It was a good movie. And it got a little pushback at the beginning because I guess the director is the same director for Nightmare Before Christmas. So yes, and it's not pushback, but I think Henry selick, I think, is very overlooked as a director because everyone talks about Nightmare Before Christmas as Tim Burton's movie. It's Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes. Henry salad directed that, and he co wrote that as well. So it's not just Tim Burton. But I think you can see that same kind of animation style and that same kind of fantastical horror in Wendell and wild. You had it in coraline and you have it in Wendell and wild. And what I like about it is that within the creatures he creates and within these people that he creates in the way he animates them, it is so absurd and fun. Like I never know what's going to happen next. The nuns that look like little turtles and penguins. Oh my God. Hysterical. Like the head, the headmaster priest, like got hit in the head so then when he came back to life, his head was slumped down below. Like, I thought I had no idea what was gonna happen next. I thought it was so fun and crazy. And yeah, and this movie I do feel like did get buried by Netflix. I mean, it has a very anti prison message. It has a very prominent trans character. Major player in it is a person of color. And I can see why it didn't do the numbers that they thought it would. Yeah, especially if Netflix isn't actually pushing it. It just like letting it be. Yeah. So it's like anything in life. If you just let it be, it's not going to get any. You got to get a water the flower to make it grow. Absolutely. And so I thought it was really interesting. I loved it. I thought it got a little, we can go back to how many characters there were and how composed it got because Wendell and Wilde carry the show. They're like the rosencrantz and gilden Stein of this movie. I think key and Peele have the great, the greatest dynamic when they work with each other, they play off each other so well. It's so fun. And I think that I wanted to see more of them with cat. Half of the movie they were separated. Yeah, yeah, they were doing their own things. Which is fine, but I wanted more of them together. They're banter when they were together was fun. I was so fun. And she was because she's a protagonist. She's like, you know, against whatever they say and their demons trying to manipulate her. And finally, they do, but it's for a reason. They get her to swear allegiance, but the only reason they do it is because she wants her parents brought back. Which is I thought very interesting because as if any of you guys have listened to our hellraiser episode, however, the main protagonist and that gets involved with hellraiser because she wants her brother brought back. Yeah. It's all about bringing back the dead. It's all about bringing back the dead, but you know that you can't. And I think in both movies, the sentiment of nothing, nothing always lasts. Nothing lasts. Yeah, it's not your hair. Not your life. Nothing. Nothing. The only thing that binds us is love. And I think the funny part of this is the main reason why I'll come back is because they want to build a theme park. Oh my God, they want to build the fair. Also, can we talk about how it's so funny that the fair lives on the student's belly, just like on their father demons belly. So he's a big demon and Wendell and wild actually lived in his nose. And he blows them

"Just going to destroy the town. They're just going to destroy the town. And so then so then this girl cat, she's trying to defeat them and through doing this she becomes something called a hell demon. She's always had this. And I don't know where it came from in my mind. It's not explained by my mind, since she had a near death experience and then survived it. She's had this sort of almost power to see the future in certain situations. And so this is where the movie falls itself a little bit for me, is when it doesn't fully explain things. It's like it had so many ideas. And I think overarching ideas panned out really well, but I think like smaller things like this, why the town and everyone is so just like used to the Supernatural kind of unravels and kind of falls apart. And the third act gets a little messy because it has these ideas. These ties of family because we have when we talk about raul as a character because I think that character was super important. Painting this very beautiful mural on all the homes to being a story about parents protecting their children. That's true, but at the end of the day, it's these children that are saving this town. With her when they bring her to face her own demons, I think that's where she got the Supernatural power because she created her own demon by blaming herself for her parents death. So I think that they didn't really get into it, but they kind of got into it when they show her battling it and trying to beat it and then when she goes through the wall, she's in the water and the demon has the car with the parents went in and then she hugs the demon as like self forgiveness. Right, no, absolutely. The incident I was referring to I'm so sorry is in the beginning when she first arrives to the school and she sees the brick falling in that yellow and black scene and she pushes siobhan out of the way. That was like a precursor to her power. But she was still kind of seeing the future. But no, totally. And I love that scene because I think when we carry so much trauma in so many burdens, self forgiveness is the hardest one. And she says it in the beginning of the movie. I grew up my whole life thinking I was going to hate myself. My whole life, I was never going to love myself. And to have that self love, I think made her give her her full Supernatural ability and made her able to defeat the big bad, which is class court. Yeah, because first you think it's the demon that's coming out of the ground. The father of Wendell and wild. But then you realize that he's just a father too. And he just wants what's best for his kids. And it's kind of weird because he's a demon. But then you see that it's definitely clap squat. That's the villain. Absolutely. And I thought it was so funny when Wendell and wild were like, dad, like for me, that was like a twist. Not a twist, but it was like a surprise. I was like, oh, this is their father. Their father has imprisoned and enslaved them. Yeah. I don't know. I thought the ideas of being trapped, being enslaved, being imprisoned, was very prominent throughout different parts. The movie, though, got a little jumbled for me because there were so many characters. And so many side stories that if I felt like it could have been two and a half hours. Yeah. Yeah, and they were good characters. All the development of the characters I like. Even the daughter of classical. I liked her development because she first she comes off as the spoiled rotten bread. Then you realize she's not. She's just, she's just a kid that wants to be friends with people. Exactly. And to be accepted and she's never accepted by our parents unless she does what they want. And I thought it was such an interesting. I thought her point, I totally agree with you. And I think her point of switch was so important because you see her talking to Kat and being like, well, I don't know what you mean. My parents work on detox and rehabilitation. And this is like a wellness prison, and it's not like normal prisons, and where the good people, because I feel like when you're within those families, this is the lies that they tell you because it's like, you can't know the truth when you're 13 years old. To then her confronting her parents in their office and they're like, oh no, you're right, this is all about the money. We are all about the money. Welcome to the family business. And seeing that shift in siobhan, I thought, was really important. And really cool because from her being like, hey KK to her being on the line fighting. I thought it was, I thought it was I thought her transformation and story development was so cool, especially when we see siobhan dead name raul right in the beginning and kind of blowing it off and being like, oh, I always forget. That's aggression. Transphobia. That's hatefulness. So I thought that was really interesting. And I love the character of raul. I thought he was a great character. And I thought it showed that you can have a trans person as a character and not have their whole story center around their transness or like being like a point of virtue, just being a character that exists because trans people are everywhere. It's not, it's not like you can't have a story with or without them. And I think a lot of storytellers push back on this and being like, well, my story isn't like this. It's hard to insert this character. No, this is a story that had a character find. Their transness was already accepted. And they were just who they were. Yeah, I agree. Like, I watch a lot of stories, a lot of movies and shows. And I feel like transgender and homosexuality, they overemphasize it. If that makes sense. I mean, they kind of they're like, this is it. And if you look at it, you go, okay, I get it. I get it. You don't have to keep on repeating the fact that these people are transgender or gay. You've already established that. But now you're over killing it. And it's like take it away from the whole plot. Yeah, it's because these authors don't understand gayness or transness. And they just are like, okay, well, I have to have this to meet this quota, and they pay no care to it. That's why these stories can be so frustrating, but in a story like this, where it's so seamless and it's so like raul is a boy. He is helping cat fight demons. It's kind of weird that he's okay with demons just existing. But so is the whole town. So who can blame him? So I thought, I thought it was really interesting and I love, I love I love his message of the mural that he paints over the whole town and his relationship with his mom, which isn't touched on a lot. But his mom's a single mom as a paralegal who just got fired, defending her son's identity. You see it on the phone call real quick. She's like, I have a son to feed and she was like, no, I'm not going to tell you again. I have a son. And just like, it's something that should be so automatic and we shouldn't question it. And I love that. And then to have his whole mural be about parents protecting their children. And I felt that that was something so close and personal to him. And then it has this universal meeting for bal bazaar and Wendell and wild and Leroy and Eleanor and cat. And all these other subsets of families within the story. I just thought it was really beautiful. I thought it was really well done. I thought it made me hopeful that every story can have inclusivity and characters like this. Yeah, I agree. And what I like to was the fact that most of the characters in this were fighting some kind of inner demon or and he was just he wasn't. He was just happy who he was going about his thing doing his artwork and, you know, he just wanted the best for everybody. Exactly. He just wanted to have friends. He wanted to do art and he wanted to help save the town, like everyone else, and he did it in such a fun way. And I love the moment where he's just so blindly accepted because that is how it should be. We should just be accepting everybody. And if you don't, or if you question it, that's within you. That's not anyone else's issue. Oh, a 100%. Most people, I find most people have their inner doubts, their inner demons that they battle, and it shows in this with the characters they have Ethereum means they're fighting and they have to overcome them and it struggle. I think everybody in the world got still class everybody in the thing. But I think everybody has some kind of thing that they inside them that they fear or that they think people are going to judge them on or they think is holding them back that they're scared

"What is happening world I'm your host to wish the world has kept you washing up and this week Kieran and I will be talking about the stop animation Wendell and wild. Yes, now this for those of you who don't know, it is a Netflix original. So it did go straight to streaming did not have any theater release. And it comes to you from monkey prop productions and those horror heads know that that is Jordan Peele's production house. So he was very heavily involved. He actually co wrote it with Henry selick and produced it and starred in it. This movie is directed by Henry selick of those of you who don't know Henry selick has done coraline as well as Nightmare Before Christmas. So this movie I think falls in vein of his very good stop animation kind of like kooky style and I thought it was really modernized and really brought to life. What did you think then? So I was talking to you earlier about claymation. When I was younger, there was a show called David and Goliath and it was my first interaction with claymation, where it was a Mormon based ethical show that it was a young boy and his dog Goliath and they went through stuff in life. They teach you more. So that was my thing with claymation. Then I saw Wallace and gromit, not a fan. Oh my God. Coraline, not a fan. Oh my God. But I am a fan of Wendell and Wilde. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was well done. The story was great. I just, I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it too. And I think so crazy to me that you don't like Wallace from grandma because in grommet. But we will talk about that later because we are not covering that movie. But for Wendell and wild, we'll kind of get into the story points and then talk about what makes this movie so fun. So the story follows a younger girl cat. She is at the time at the beginning of the story she's about 8 and then she's 13. We jump forward 5 years. And it is a story about her. She's kind of she's orphaned. She's bounced around from place to place and as a last ditch effort, she goes to Catholic girls school back in her old hometown of rust bank. And through their calamity ensues and, well, we'll get into that. One thing I want to say though is this movie dabble so much into the Supernatural and everyone just is fine with it. Like no one questions the fact that demons exist. Hell maidens are a real thing. Zombies are out here voting for city council. There are so many wild story points that happen and everyone seemingly everyone else in the town is just like, yep, that's normal. I mean, to me, it was so funny how no one questioned the Supernatural part of the world. Yeah, I agree. When the demons come out when doing wild and they come up and people are just like, oh, okay. Yeah, they're just like, oh, accepting. And even when the young boy is with her and he sees them, instead of like freaking out and everything he's just like, demons. Demons. And to me, that was like the most insane thing. So one thing I love about this movie, and we can get into it when we follow the main storyline, is that it's very anti prison, which I did not really know that going in, and I thought it was a really good point to make and I thought it was, I thought it was really interesting because we always see big conglomerates and we always see like big business coming in to destroy a small town and typically we never see that it's going to be a prison. We always see that it's like a tech company or this, but prisons are slavery. It is modern day slavery and I think they did a really good point and they made it really digestible for a broad audience, which I thought was really interesting to do for a movie targeted more towards a younger generation. Yeah, so I went to Florida for about 20 years. Down in Florida, it is basically they're going to send you to prison because they make money off people being in prison. I had a friend. He went to prison and they made it very hard for him to get out of prison. Like his attorney was court appointed and basically worked for the prosecution side of the thing. So basically they were in the same boat. He didn't have a good representation. He couldn't afford a good lawyer. And they basically railroaded him into prison. And when he tried to do his appeal, he didn't have money for an attorney, so he had to do it by himself, and it was awful. He got nothing. And he had to sit and rot. And they made money off him daily from the government. Oh, absolutely. And I think this movie, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, by the way. And especially in this movie, I think they bring that to a really good point. They say, we cram prisons full of people because we make X amount of money off of each person. I didn't know this. I had no clue. I mean, if you want to look at a modern day example, we can look at Jeff Bezos who owns Amazon and whole foods. They use prison labor to grow their roots and vegetables. And from that, they only pay prisoners about 95 cents on the dollar. And then they resell avocados for what, $5. That's all profit that he's making. Off of modern day slavery. It is. So I thought, so I'm not going to get in a tangent about this. But to have this be the main story point, I thought was really interesting and really exciting because I feel like now there is a shift socially about kind of dismantling institutions that are old and basically just like harmful to people and I think this one really shows like even so I thought wax corp it was basically the KKK. The way that was spelled, I thought it was very intentional. And I thought it was really interesting that they make, I don't know. The woman, so it's a duo. It's a husband and wife. And the wife says that she wanted to fund this new beginnings. Juvenile program because she was never hoping that it would work. She was hoping that those juveniles would then become bodies in the prison. So it's like, okay, you're just you're funneling money into your own pocket. Off of these people's tragedies and it's something that happens every day. Yes. 100%. The rich get richer the poor get poor. Exactly. An old saying, but it's so true it's ridiculous. It's so true it's ridiculous. And so this is the main point of the story is that cats, parents, owned a very prominent brewery that kind of supplied and ran the whole town, kind of like imagine like an old mill would. That's not like how I viewed it at least. And then they die in a car accident. And she survives. So she feels guilt about that. And then after their death, she acts out, moves away. The brewery burns down and kills almost the whole town. It makes the whole city dead because they don't have any kind of at least to work. There's no revenue. So basically they're struggling, and that's where it comes in and they're like, hey, look, you know, if we get the votes, we will make this prison and you can get jobs. But they don't tell them the underlying thing where they're

Versus Andrew Coma, the court decided the state of New York violated the constitutional rights of citizens wanted to safely gathering churches and synagogues during the pandemic. The reasoning was the lockdown laws barred religious gatherings altogether while still allowing secular business to operate at limited capacity.

There is a little bit or where they can actually see why it's important and issues that it causes so it's just a full transparency. Your leader likes to include others and you pull them together and you say hey this is what happened and this is why i think we need to shift what we're doing and how they responded to that to that approach once they actually see One it causes and what they can do to prevent that then they're on board and it's just a little bit more extra time with him showing on why and what. It's so interesting because that is leadership is just spinning the time to communicate. Have them understand the why behind what they're doing and then get everybody on the same page and then move forward and improve your processes that it. That's pure leadership.

What they see is no thicker than a screen. I'd love to know what wendell berry had mind when he wrote that or rather what the character. Hannah had in mind when she thought it. But i deeply resonated with it. Even though i can't fully explain why. And maybe that's part of what i'm noticing myself over the last several months i'm resonating with a lot of things and holding pieces and parts fragments and flotsam. I'm collecting but i'm not arranging. And i like the collecting collecting as good and necessary collecting as part of what i do. I collect stories. I collect ideas images. Conversations beauty poetry and quotes but collecting is not. Creating collecting is not making to speak plainly. Y'all it's been a minute since i've made stuff and that is true.

These ten to fifteen minute podcast episodes have kept me sane crafting something with a bit of a slant something to help create space for your soul and mind to take a breath before we make our next move. I've loved doing this. I will love continuing to do this. But it's not very much content every week. Second as maybe silly as it sounds posts on instagram.

It's embodied in the traditional appointment book with each day cut into one hour intervals. You block off several hours for a single task if you need to but by default you change what.

I built conversation with them and they tip really well when you build a conversation with them right and so from then on when a corporate person would come in there like molly. This one's yours. I and so they knew that because we all shared tips so when you know your audience so well and you know that's the audience you like working with that step number. I'm you think about what the topic is that. You wanna talk about. What what you wanna teach on and then the big step that defines what goes in your course and what doesn't is what you call your course promise in its kind year guarantee. It's that says if you take my course and do the work you will get this result and so for example in my executive job search. My course promise is if you if you buy my course and do the work. You will get hired faster for the money you're worse. That's my course promise. And so i look at my course and i say does this help you get hired faster for the money. You're worth yes or no. Is it a nice to have or is it critical to the success. If it's critical it goes in the course. If it's nice to have it does not go in. The course i might course on courses mike course promises take what you know make six figures fast by taking what you already know and turning it into an online course that helps me determine. I don't have anything on validation in there. Because i already say you already know it. You already know that what your product is. What content you have so you. You don't need to do a validation step. It doesn't need to go in my course. So your course promises going to be what defines what goes senior course.

Social Media Site Gab Is Surging, Even As Critics Blame It For Capitol Violence
"The amount of election-related disinformation online has dropped dramatically at after several media platforms band president trump. Almost two weeks ago. Facebook twitter pinterest instagram spotify twitch suspended trump and several of his allies on january eighth two days after the deadly insurrection at the capitol and since then misinformation on those savings as plummeted by more than seventy percent. This according to the research firm signal labs dr thompson staff writer at the atlantic joins us from washington as he does every monday and derek. This should not be surprising. Studied by cornell in october showed that globally around the world. President trump was the largest driver of false information about the coronavirus. Still your thoughts on this ban. Reducing disinformation by seventy percent. I think it's pretty straightforward Donald trump is the former in chief. He has been missing former chief for all four years of his presidency. He has tens of millions of followers. So anyone else who was similarly dishonest or similarly disinterested in truth Gonna reach nearly as many people because they don't have tens of millions of followers on twitter and so of course banning him from the site is absolutely reduced this information. It's it's made it harder for him to put stuff into the public waterways of of information and it's been hard to re tweet him or to jump on conspiracy theories and then embellish them as as we have seen so often on twitter on facebook across social media so it's not surprising at all and this is i think exactly what a lot of social media critics have then predicting for years. They've said if you directly. Take on the leading mongers of disinformation. You're gonna be able to erase it from the site. Yeah okay but quite couple questions. Zig no found that twitter mentions election fraud. Went from two point. Five million to just over six hundred and eighty thousand it reports that hashtags related to the insurrection at the capitol dropped a core across platforms by about ninety five percent. Twitter by the way also banned seventy thousand accounts affiliated with ridiculous and baseless cunanan on conspiracy theory so first question given how immediate the impact was. It doesn't show that these platforms could have done this sooner. I think this is tough. So social media has in the last decade banning. What i acquainted with the wild west in terms of its regulation they haven't exactly applied laws evenly. They don't necessarily even have laws. The kind of regulation that you need to apply across social media platforms facebook twitter etc doesn't exist at the federal level yet and as a result there was a little bit of a lese sayre anything goes sort of feel like and if you've ever seen a television show removing about the wild west in the middle of late nineteenth century that's essentially what you had Online now we're starting to see the law creep into the proverbial wyoming's of twitter and facebook. They're starting to really take action against people that very clearly violated terms of service. And in this case you know incite violence basement conspiracy theory. So i'm not surprised at this happened I think that the incident of one six the insurrection. The capital siege Essentially served as a litmus test And you saw a lot of social media companies essentially act around that. But i think we need rules going forward because hopefully fingers crossed. You're not gonna have moments like the capital siege or that insurrection every single week but you still need some law going forward determine who stays on the site and who violates the terms of service so much. They have to be platform. Well wait a minute. Isn't this though. Whack-a-mole i mean doesn't this mean that president trump and his allies and white supremacists who follow him and average voters will just gravitate to or create other forms. Really interesting question. So on the one hand i totally agree with you If they're kicked off of facebook kicked off of twitter they're just gonna go to some place like gabar parlor but with parlor for example we saw that parlor itself was somewhat d. platform. Or at least unserved. You had companies that were providing both its servers technology and discover ability. Essentially say you have proven yourself beyond the pale and we don't want to work with you anymore. So we'll see where these people go because they're going to go somewhere right now. I think they're probably going to this other social media site called gab But it raises the prospect that today you know you look at a place like facebook and twitter and it is inclusive of a huge wide variety of ideologies. Far left to far right. But what happens when social media sites essentially. Start to buy kate by ideology. Where say you know. The centre-left is on twitter and conservatives are on You know gab And then the leftist go onto some other platform. It means that are already fractured already. Somewhat shattered sent to the shared reality in america is going to become even more fractured an even more fragmented
