Anheuser-Busch CEO Offers Flat Apology Following Backlash
"CEO of AB InBev, Anheuser Busch, he's been pulling this mea culpa. He's under fire, actually, from the extremists on the left. They're saying, how dare you? How dare you apologize for your transgender Dylan Mulvaney campaign? Well, he's apologizing because guess what, guys, it's called common sense. He just alienated his entire base audience. His entire customer base for Bud Light, those Friday boys that they didn't want anymore. Well, then there's not going to have them after this stunt. I got some beers. They strike them, huh? Anyway, now they're coming out with a big giant campaign to show how rah rah patriotic they are. They are God and country and Clyde still horses, except they're not. One thing that people forget is that Anheuser Busch, the Anheuser Busch, out of St. Louis, that company was sold. Back in 2008, to accompany out of Brazil InBev. That company in Brazil was actually the merger between a Belgian company and a Brazilian beer company. So then that company InBev goes and buys AB Anheuser Busch to create AB InBev. This is not an American company anymore. It's a giant multinational corporation conglomerate with zillions of beer brands all over the world, and they just happen to have Anheuser Busch as one of them. So don't forget, don't let them fool you with the horses in the pretty commercials. This is a globalist conglomerate kind of company. And

Amanda Grace Began Her Life of Prophecy Through Medical Adversity
"To my friend Amanda grace, who has a prophetic ministry. I don't know how you put this. We're going to try to help you understand this if you don't get this. Also has an animal sanctuary with zillions of beasts at her home with her husband Chris, who will be here later. And you're at that point now. So you're telling me you're in your 20s. And you're really struggling. I mean, this is bad, bad, bad health stuff. But you are a Christian and you're trying to get your way work your way out of this. Yes, so I think in your 20s is where you begin to struggle a lot with the lord. And your place and have a lot of questions for God, the wise. Were you really start seeking and what I call it wrestling with God about many things that have gone on in your families, my parents divorced when I was about 21 years old. They divorced. And that was part of the toxicity that led to me getting sick also. It kind of opened the door for the enemy to sort of say, I'm going to take my shot now because the enemy Satan can see anointing in the spirit. He can see that you're annoying. He doesn't know what God necessarily going to do with it, but he can see you are. And so that's why he goes after them when they're young. You hear this. You hear this over and over and over again. That if God's going to use you in some ways, he will allow you to be humbled and it's almost like to build your spiritual muscles. And similarly, as you just said, if God is going to use you, the enemy wants to strangle you in the cradle if possible, to try to take you out before. And I've seen this over and over and over. I can tell my own story. Other people's stories, but so you experience this. So here you are in your 20s and you're beginning to wonder, hey, what's up? Yes. What's going on? There was a lot of dysfunctional cycles in my family that were very generational. And when you deal in the prophetic and whether that's the road the lord is putting you on, you're very sensitive to what's going on around you. I mean, so sensitive, you could feel the weight of things in the spirit, like how oppression feels or how other things feel in the spirit. You can feel the heaviness of that.

Sean Davis: Joe Biden Lies to Please His People
"You've watched the State of the Union or saw the low lights of it there were no highlights The man's a disaster He's obviously cognitively impaired at this point Sean he was making up words We learned a new word last night original zillion jobs I don't know what it is Nobody else knows what it is The irony of it though was that every Democrat get up and applauded that he's going to veto if we raise the cost of rich resilience zillion jobs Which I found strange because no one really knows what they're supported But one of the worst parts about it was just it's not that politicians lie that bothers me Sean they all lie It's that Biden lies about things that are so easily refutable You know he did not create 12 million jobs real wages are not up there down These are things you can look up and it just reminds me of this constant fantasy land These liberals live in We conservatives tell the truth even to our own party I mean that was that whole fight over the speaker But it doesn't appear that liberals do it to the same degree No no it's actually interesting how they seem to view language and words And in my opinion they use their purely weapons and their weapons that are designed to help them either defend against their enemy today or defeat their enemy today and make it until tomorrow And it doesn't matter what words means the only thing that matters to them is whether these words can get them this particular objective that they need to survive to the next day So they actually don't think he's lying He's just going out there and saying what he needs to say to be able to do what his people wanted to do And it's why nobody on that side actually cares when he just baldly lies about stuff You know he's lies about inflation Lies about gas prices And it's not like this is a new thing for Biden that we can just blame on dementia or his doctors getting his amphetamine drug cocktail wrong So you guys have been a liar his entire career for 50 60 70 years He lies about everything It's just who he is

Brant Hanson Discusses His New Book 'Unoffendable'
"I get to talk to someone that I know on a subject that I consider important. His name is Brant Hanson. The book is unoffending how just one change can make all of life better, Brandt, Hanson, welcome back. Thank you. Thank you, Eric metaxas. It's good to be back. Okay, just to cut to the chase. Now, look, you're a nationally syndicated radio host. And you do something called a podcast called the Brandt and sherry odd cast. Sherry is your wife? No, she's my producer. You produce. Your wife know about this. Does your wife know about this podcast? And you're also work with cure international, but okay, we've met and we like to joke around. But this is a really serious subject. Your book is called able. It has sold a zillion copies, this is the revised and updated version, asks the question, well, you tell me, 'cause I can read it. The crazy question. Look, well, the crazy, is it possible to live a life where you're putting off anger where you're not angry all the time. Okay, so on the back of the book it says, here's a crazy question. What if we decided not to be offended? So what do we mean? What do you mean by that? The book is titled an offender, so obviously that's what you deal with. But what does that mean not to be offended not to be angry all the time? I'm talking about giving up your right to offense, giving up your right to anger, anger is a fight or flight response. That's what it's supposed to be. So all these physiological things happen to us, we're not supposed to live there, though. It kills us. It's terrible for its physically spiritually everything, but we've made it into an art form where we think we're supposed to be angry all the time about everything. And there's no shortage of things to be angry about. Legitimate things. There's no short and there never will be a shortage. Actually, that's very important to say. There is no shortage of things to be angry about. The level of injustice in the world, the evil in the world, the question is, how do we deal with that? And the bigger question would be, I would ask, how does God want me to deal with it?

"So this robin this is just music to my ears to hear your version. And you know both fifty seven and as you say fifty seven and forty seven have been around for close to one hundred years. They have a long history and often when you hear levin now it's in our nbc or hip hop there's that usher song burn. That goes been you know. you know. it's got that line in there you've been gone for too long. It's been fifty days on teen hours. There's a fancy term for these kinds of words you want to know what it is. What is it indefinite hyperbolic numerals. Okay that makes sense that actually make sense because as you suggested It's a large number not exactly in a particular amount You know it's a really big number. So the the fancy term for these words is indefinite hyperbolic numerals. What's really interesting. Is that forty levin. I think was the earlier one in fifty levin is a variant of that but forty eleven was originally in the northeast and it seems to have migrated down some into the south. Because that's that's where. I hear it more often in so I'm very interested to hear that That you heard fifty levin up in chicago. There's some fascinating work. That's been done on these kinds of numbers by a linguistic anthropologist named stephen and malice who's at wayne state university in detroit and he's done a lot of work on words like fifty seven forty seven and other indefinite hyperbolic numerals like teen and empty. The most common. One of all of these is zillion. And he's done some fascinating research. That shows that zillion was almost exclusively used. The african american community before world war. Two there was about three quarters of the instances. Of the words zillion in print are in african american newspapers magazines and it was used by a lot of this central figures of the harlem renaissance. And it was only later that this term zillion migrated into more general usage. How cool is that. It's not as awesome. So i'm just fifty levin kinds of happy that you called with this question i gotta say rather than you sound like. You've made martha's day.

"Rural southern environment. And it really sounds like a variation of that phrase which is a very interesting one linguistically because the needs here in must needs go is actually functioning as an adverb meaning necessarily unavoidably It's an adverb that intensifies that word must because in old english you could turn a noun into an adverb by adding s or es to the end of it and so must needs. Wouldn't you think grant. I'm betting that that She somehow either misremembered or or did her own Elaboration on that phrase somebody centuries that could have changed before it reached her. Yeah it sounds so much like these circumstances beyond your control And there's also a notion here of being forced do the unwanted or maybe unexpected. Yeah that would be a good example of how she might use that I remember distinctly. She'd like to throw a lot of parties and if we were over there helping her get ready for her. Party's you know it was hell or high water. This place is going to be ready to go with the with the a strong willed woman. Yes race right. Paul thank you so much for your question.

But now you're i at last pretty confusing but if you think it through it makes sense how come you are so early of late. You used to be behind before.

Six seven. three support for a way with words comes from jack and caroline raymond proud sponsors of wayward inc. The nonprofit that produces and distributes this program. You're listening to away with words the show about language and how we use it. I'm greg jarrett. And i'm martha barnett a few weeks ago. We had a conversation with mary. That you'll probably remember. She's eighty two and she likes to refer to herself as being middle old and we talked about how people feel about other words for reaching that age like like being elderly or being a senior citizen and we wondered whether they were better alternatives to those words. And you know what grant the very next day. I walked into a store here in san diego and there was a cheery young woman behind the counter and she was telling somebody about their wisdom discount. What and yes. She looked at the at the person's driver's license and said oh you're over sixty you get a wisdom discount and so i made a point of asking. Is that really what it's called. Is that your nomenclature. And she said absolutely you know we we love our older customers wisden discount but that reminds me of a of a proverb that i once read which is just because you reached an old age. Doesn't mean you've learned anything along the way but it got me wondering whether the language we use around age we'll do some changing if it's good for business. We got an email from adam kellogg. Who wrote to say that. In portland oregon. The local transit agency now uses the term honored citizen. But it's not only for people sixty five and older. It's is for people who are low income or medicare beneficiaries or or riders with a mental or physical disability Honored citizens in portland. Get a discount. yeah. I like that terminology. I like it as an umbrella term and also shortens their need to use the fully elaborated phrase of older people blah blah blah and people with disabilities and so forth. Yes that's good. Yeah it's a little self conscious. But but i like it and Michael gardner wrote from albuquerque new mexico to share his mother's Term for this and that's season citizen. He says seasoned season citizen which i also like very much. Her reasoning is that when someone reaches a certain age she's eighty four. They've been seasoned with the ingredients of life and are ready to be served. But i also like seasons suggesting what you were saying about. Having experience accumulated life experience. Yeah that's true but seasoning can happen at a young age as well but yeah but in general the older you are the more seasoned you are right. You've been around us on a few times and major mistakes in bulk. Yes yes you have some mileage on you. But i'm just wondering if in general sort of like i've thought for quite a while that as boomers move into old age. We're gonna see more and more things like stylish hearing aids high-tech walking canes and i just. I wonder if that kind of thing is going to happen with languages. Well it could be certainly as the technology gets better for all devices. We get lighter materials and smaller electronics and the naming that goes with those maybe the naming companies will come up with a generics that will later be passed onto these generations. You know like we had for a while. The internet generation may be something will happen in that direction Yeah and as long as it's useful. I would think it would take hold. So we'll see we'll see we're still welcoming your contributions toward naming the older generations. What's a good overall term. It doesn't sound pejorative for folks of a later generation.

Hi this is paul from arlington. Texas ipod paul. Welcome to the show. Hi paul so my grandmother. She's dear old southern lady and She had a number of things that she would say. She would use this particular phrase Almost as As a no matter what this needs to happen this is going to happen. you know whether we were running late for an appointment or we were trying to set up for an event or or something like that you know if we were running behind the clock where there was something important on the line she would say needs bees the double meat or needs to be the devil will meet and it was kind of like a chicken the pants to the kid like hey look let's get look this go on this is going gonna happen one way or the other So let's make it. Work needs to be the devil meats. And i've never heard anybody else use. It only ever heard her use it and nobody. I've spoken to as an adult as ever heard this raciest needs beads. A devil meets. Is that right. Yes it's an odd combination of words. I know and then when i say that does that just make you fly right. Yeah right get into gear. Stand up straight. yeah for sure. Well you know. I've never heard that version but i wonder if she was using a variation of a much much older phrase which is must needs. Go that the devil drives. That's an old very well established saying That goes back to the fifteenth century. He must needs go. That the devil drives and it means sort of that same idea of necessity is compelling you to do something. They're they're just no two ways about it. Whatever you've got to do is unavoidable and you see this phrase In the early fifteenth century and shakespeare used it in all's well that ends well when clown is asked why he wants to get married. He says my poor body. Madame requires it. I am driven on by the flesh and he must needs go that the devil drives meaning I gotta get married because my body is telling me to and the devil is pushing me to do it. Thin devil is making me do it. Do you think that maybe she used a version of that. Must needs go that the devil drives a i mean i. It sounds like the same way or at least name context and so that very well could be I had no idea that it was that old was. She was born in the early Nineteen twenty born nineteen eighteen and a.

Either i'm peter and i've lived in a little city along the delaware river in pennsylvania called eastern eastern pennsylvania. Welcome to the show peter. Hi peter oh thank you so much hi guys. It's it's great to be talking with you so growing up. I was really voracious reader And i was always very fascinated by words And even made up some words Some of which have been sort of lost time But in you know the blur of my childhood. I think i sort of associated the word wraps with some of the words that i had made up and i thought that i had actually created the word You know you never really hear people use the word wrap skelly and i think it sort of old fashioned And it actually came up one day because i was driving through upstate new york with my girlfriend and i i called her apps cowan and we got the word i did. And we got to talking about the word and She informed me she. She majored in english and is a librarian so she knew and she informed me that i in fact did not create the word that it was a real word so i was very fascinated by this. And that's why i'm calling. I wanna learn more about it. Well let me ask you. Do you have a time machine because you might have created the word. No unfortunately not no peter first of all. I just want to congratulate you on your tasting girlfriends. Because if she's an english major and library hot hot flashes. So how could you possibly call him. Wrap scalia put in. I don't know. I though martha it can be kind of a kind of album. You wraps gallion yes. Yes and that's that's right exactly okay. Well played peter well-played Reps kellyanne means a scam or or a scoundrel. Something like that but But yeah this is a word that has grant was asking if you had a time machine because this word has been around since gosh the seventeenth century. I'm betting that you picked it up somewhere in the blur of your childhood. So well read i. You know. I'm willing to bet that too i. I read a lot of a lot of sort of older children's books at the time. I wonder if that's maybe maybe where it came from. Yeah it's and it's roots actually are in the word rascal which has been part of english. Since the fifteenth century as i said in the seventeenth century it was modified to to rest galleon and then by the end of the century was wraps galleon and as grant said it can be affectionate. I mean you know you can use it a lot of different ways. You might talk a little dog. Who's chewing your shoes. And maybe maybe he's wraps galleon right but let's talk for a second about that weird phenomenon where you think that you invented a word only to find out. You didn't let me ask you. Peter d you remember when you learned most words that you know. Oh gosh I would say probably between three and ten three and twelve. I start reading. I don't know what i'm saying is oh i was saying i was thinking that most words that you know you don't know where you're in wind you learned to them and true for rap scallon as well So when we have an unusual word vocabulary we sometimes remember where we learned it but often we don't and in the word history business that martha aaron. We often get well meaning emails and phone calls from people who appreciate assure that they invented a word and we have to gently. Tell them well unless you had a time machine because we have print evidence of this word from win. Your great grandparents were alive. That's amazing well. And it echoes sort of the conversation that my girlfriend that i had driving down the road the insisting no really created this word the wraps galleon in this relationship is actually.

Yeah that's exactly it. I could imagine right. If i was a surgical noor in an er that you know you really wanna get all of the technical lingo right. And and i think you know like a barista might know this right. There's probably a lot of us a lot of other technical words. In coffee shops right macchiato and calf and and it's actually a really technical space but for some reason like this word. We just don't really have a good name for it yeah. I wonder if it's because we know in our hearts that it's not fully anglicised and so it's a bit of a catch twenty two. We worry that we won't be understood. Therefore we don't use it. And because i'm not a lot of people use it. It's not widely understood. Exactly exactly i think if you googled. Czar if you will find that it's one of those words that is often shared as a. Wow did you know. I think i think the word is getting out there.

Of course it's irrelevant in other words if we the people don't give them permission to do this they must not do it. They have no right to do it. So what they're doing is in contravention of the whole idea of america that we the people choose our leaders to do what we need them to do. They are comfortable with that. So they're looking for a way around it. And they've been finding ways around it and i and i mentioned that in the book that what i just said is what we used to say and scholarship.

Helping Your Kids 'Focus' on Zoom
"Zoom another video. Conferencing tools are here to stay as businesses press pause on the return back to offices. It also means students may continue learning remotely so zoom is introducing a new feature to help keep kids be less distracted. Yeah that's right. zoom revealed. A new mode called focus and it's aimed specifically for teaching environments such as obviously being in class During the class the way it works is if when it's run through zoom and you're using this focus mode. Teachers will be able to see every student in class but students will only see the teacher. So when a student's view you'll have the usual zoom view but instead of seeing all those faces different tiles students will only see the names of other classmates in available windows but they won't hear their peers talking if there's any and they won't see any non verbal feedback or hear them when they're on muted basically just looks like it's the student and the teacher in the zoom at all times It also works to for teachers when they want to enable screen sharing so say an instructor is trying to do some kind of presentation and kids take turns presenting stuff in class. They can basically screen share with that individual child and then everybody else can focus on that. And there's not a zillion other pop ups that are there that are distracting And we've seen zoom take several steps over the last few months to shore up its platform as americans have grown more reliant on using videoconferencing like zoom a to get through working to get through school We just saw last month. Zim zum rolled out apps so basically it just merges popular productivity and entertainment services like games directly into the zoom window and they also launched an events tool to host hybrid meetings or conferences directly within zoom. So we're seeing a lot of different changes with the platform over these last couple months. Sounds pretty interesting. i mean. unfortunately we're going to be doing zoom for the foreseeable future. It sounds like in some fashion. You know whether it's school are worker. What are happy hours. Or whatever so Sounds cool

I liked to create something from nothing so start. Businesses start from scratch when there is virtually nothing so i i have made like a career. That is a little upside down. I started at a very big company. Royal telecoms kp and we had like thirty thirty. Five thousand people are at the time and then moved to access for all which is an isp service provider during the dotcom boom the first boom and they had like three hundred employees and then i ended up at the ram mobile data where i had the pleasure of setting up an office in the us and we had like one hundred people Before i started in two thousand eleven thinking like you know i.

I had a chat with the end and we came up this marketing technology part and And he said we'll how would you like to join us and and bring that to the next level. That sounds great. why don't they. I didn't was very interested in a everage marketing company but with allies at so.

Part that sets up parts set us apart from from the rest There are a zillion marketing agencies. All full service or whatever you wanna call them. There are just a few mark tech agencies. And i think that the marketing guys are really especially in the netherlands. We're we're we're expanding to western europe and so as that we won't be really on the four four end of everything. What's with marketing technology. That's the reason why we also set up the mark and technology both costs and that's great five. This bulk causing. You should know that also charging you meet a lot of interesting people but you see and hear all these passions of of how you can use technology to help people to help companies and i think that that's something that allies and i share is really the urge to help companies really to succeed that. That's also what we then. We help companies succeeds in by using the right technology. And there are zillion tools. I think that There are about seven thousand eight thousand. I'm not sure about that elias. What the counting does this moment. Slowly thousand nine thousand at the moment and sifting through the and really getting finding the gems and and and using them to help your customers really. That's one of the great things marketing technology. You're using text off to make your marketing more personal more geared to people and it's that combination and it's making it. Yeah well that's the paradox. Using technology to become more human. And that's what really and therefore the marketing guys is really because otherwise we could have been denmark tech agency or something like that. No where the guys you know where people were human.

I read a book or two about two and just the basic things and one thing that That i learned from somebody else that i used to this day and You know kind of helps at kinda helps a lot when your own water on a canoe trip and you're trying to explain how to do this to a group of boys that maybe haven't read a book and haven't thrown learn a lot of this is this is what i've learned I have here the smarter. This is a pillow. Okay so this is just a basic pillow and also have more house on also have strayed hunting. If you recognize this is a kitchen utensil. On but i have a pillow and a strain and what i learned canoeing. Is that when you're going down a riddle and you're looking at the river ahead of you. You wanna avoid pillows and straights okay. A stranger old river does look like this. Stranger on river is a word that describes a situation where you have a lot of tangled debris maybe tree limbs. You got A tree limb or treat as fall river. And it's it's become law behind a rock. You have other tree limbs or things. It s floated into that tree limits. Kind of all a bunch of debris and medicine and it could be anything. That's all kind of lost their together. And what i've learned is you must avoid stringers when your canoe downriver. If you don't keep web dime screeners when your canoe goes into ended up bass on. Something will probably happen to flip your canoe. You may get hung up on a limb. The swift current can take you under and seriously people have dialed in strangers.

Where you know the water's going down down river and hits a rock that is submerged under water but the water just kinda rises up a rock and a form what looks a lot like a show on the surface of the war might be watering. Goes up four inches or six inches but informs a pillow. And if you canoe into that pillow right under the service of the waters huge rock. That will not move. You're gonna hit that that rock and it's gonna flip your canoe or turn your canoe. You don't wanna go one pillows the thing that you want to move towards as you go down the river you wanna avoid strangers flows but want to move towards.

"Well i suppose there's limits but there's not much that can't be grown a bone inside trae when done carefully there are books it their classes on it So enjoy it. It's something to keep you to during the winter of any year and especially when we're so to speak trapped inside. I hope all of your being careful wearing masks. What your hands and all that good stuff. So let's let's just have some fun while we're doing now when i think Bone cy i think of like an evergreen type plant A pine or a spruce or something like that. So if i wanted to get started with bonsai what would you recommend. And how do you get started. Well mark let's go to those two seedlings i have run their deep deep in the debris of the beds. I knew they were there a year ago. Now they're they're this fall. When i cleaned up they are presently The juniper is i don't know maybe eight inches ten inches high Fairly narrow and upright like it's project and then the tax is lord knows which one Right now i can tell you. It's more of a horizontal grew. But i will dig those in the spring. Oh let's just say that being earliest probably march fifteen and then sometime hopefully before the middle of april while before they have gotten into really has it grew. Because i'm going to have to dig them. I'm gonna go out quite away sideways. And then we're way in to see where the roots are where their masked if there is a mass and then they will go right into the trays but they will have most of the soil that they started in shaking off off. Whatever i will then go to a very good mix of potting soil. Lots of lots of brigandage lots of water retention but not not sopping wet at any point in time. I will start them. I'm going to call it flat in the trade. I have several now old enough. That they're sitting above the edge of the trae by an inch and a half. They're starting to kind of look like a normal forest tree. In a very miniaturized way mine are not fussy. They're not sick. They would not be judged well in competition. They're just a lot of fun for me. So mark anything. Like that i have used The seedling of a privilege plant. I have used the ceiling will actually cutting that. I started of a A zillion now. Elliot's are a little tricky. I didn't have particularly good luck. This has been a while back. Haven't restarted that. But i have seen some magnificent zillions in bloom in bonsai trees. Pear trees maple trees. I tend when i'm looking for it myself. I tend to go for things that happen naturally. Small leaf and then by retarding its fertilizer and its water and so on. I can cause those leaves to be even smaller And then i have taken. What is this or rubber tree. Plant one of the indoor plants. And i have i think. Probably six or seven cuttings. That has now started to route. I'm looking for a proper trae. i'm gonna start a miniature forest of We'll see how that works out. So i may talk about it again along the course of this next year in terms of what kind of weapon having with the ceilings of this indoor plant which is a tropical They would have to come in before the temperature gets wet. Now let me tell you. I take mine outdoors in the summertime on a bench of the house. They get a full half a day. So they're in good shape and then they get shading the afternoon. So anyhow that being the sun factor. I leave them on the bench until the temperature in the fall. Hits forty five degrees on low night. Then they start coming in under the deck deck but under patio top and then into the house before that is the topic was come into the house and the others in on the ground in the compost bin. Half of it. I stack them usually flat on the ground. But a couple of my. I've kind of leaned in. And then i put about ten twelve inches of oak leaves over the top now scattered. I don't try to make out of it. All i wanna do is insulate them against fast freeze and thaw. And it's rare that i lose what in the wintertime so that's kind of the score and anybody can start them You will be digging taking either plants that are potted in a garden centre or whatever and there are many of those little ones that that you can start in the bone side trade. You just simply take them out of their pot. Usually wash off the soil of the roots. You could see what you're working with. Cut off the lowest ones work with the ones that are nearer the top of the soil in the container and then spread them out right on top of about a quarter of an inch of soil. Half an inch of soil in this container and then put some well now putting oil and then put some potting soil over them. Be sure very sure that the container drains They can be suffocated quickly with too much water. So big holes. For drainage i think screen over the top of that so they don't lose a lot of water and then i always put them on a tray indoors. They're they're bound to drop off excess water when i'm watering so always into a tray of their own For my furniture's safekeeping.
