Podcasts about ant man

In this week’s episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan take on a bold and necessary conversation: Is online church actually church? Rooted in Scripture and real-life pastoral experience, the discussion challenges modern assumptions about faith practiced in isolation and examines what the Bible truly defines as the church. Drawing from key passages in Acts, Hebrews, Matthew, and Ephesians, the guys explain why physical gathering, church membership, pastoral oversight, and meaningful Christian community are not optional extras—but essential elements of biblical Christianity. While acknowledging the usefulness of online sermons and digital ministry as tools, they clearly distinguish between supplemental resources and the dangers of replacing the local church with online-only faith. The episode dives into church discipline, accountability, assurance of salvation, spiritual growth, and the long-term impact of isolation on believers and families. With conviction, humility, and personal reflection, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan call listeners to pursue healthy local churches where believers are known, loved, challenged, and shepherded. If you’ve ever questioned whether watching church online is enough—or struggled to understand the importance of belonging to a local body—this episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral urgency, and a compelling call to live out faith the way Scripture intends: together.Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faith See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wonder Man is the newest Marvel Studios television series on Disney Plus. In this episode, I chat with Brian Gay, Co-Executive Producer of this series, about Wonder Man and about Brian's career. Brian worked alongside Kevin Feige and Marvel executives to develop Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain Marvel, Loki, Hawkeye, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Werewolf by Night. As Wonder Man is described on Disney Plus, "Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film "Wonder Man." These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.” To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a rapidly growing cultural trend: AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and digital soulmates. What starts as a discussion about emerging AI companion technology quickly becomes a deep, biblical examination of love, loneliness, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. The guys explore how artificial intelligence is being marketed as emotional companionship — even romantic partnership — and why that trend poses serious spiritual, emotional, and societal dangers. They reference real-world examples like hologram companions and AI chatbot “relationships,” including platforms that introduced erotic roleplay features and the emotional fallout when those features were removed. Using Scripture as their foundation, the conversation moves into what the Bible teaches about love, human connection, and God’s design for marriage. Passages from 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 14, and Romans 1 are used to show how redefining love and pursuing artificial substitutes for real relationships leads people away from truth and toward spiritual harm. The hosts also address deeper heart issues behind the appeal of AI relationships — loneliness, sexual temptation, fear of rejection, and the desire for unconditional affirmation. They emphasize that while AI may seem safe and customizable, it ultimately replaces real sanctifying relationships and distracts people from Christ, the Church, and the gospel. The episode closes with a clear gospel message, reminding listeners that true love, fulfillment, and rest are found in Jesus alone — not in manufactured affection or digital fantasy. The guys issue a firm warning against pursuing romantic or emotional relationships with AI and encourage believers to trust God with their singleness, relationships, and longing for connection. *************** Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nerds begin the countdown to Avengers: Doomsday by resuming their MCU rewatch with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!

After the massive stakes of Age of Ultron, Marvel did something unexpected — it went small.In this episode of Marvel Maniac, we revisit Ant-Man and explore why this funny, heartfelt, and inventive film was exactly what the MCU needed at the end of Phase Two. From Paul Rudd's instantly lovable Scott Lang, to Hank Pym's grief-driven legacy, to the introduction of the mysterious Quantum Realm, Ant-Man proves that Marvel doesn't always need gods or world-ending threats to make us care. Sometimes, the smallest stories hit the hardest. ⭐ Enjoying the show?

Episode 2 of the 9941 Podcast tackles a question many Christians quietly wrestle with: How should believers think about nicotine? In an honest, Scripture-centered conversation, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and AntMan explore the difference between Christian freedom and spiritual slavery—asking whether substances like nicotine, caffeine, or alcohol have dominion over our lives or are simply neutral tools. Drawing from passages like Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Romans 8, the group discusses addiction, conscience, legalism, cheap grace, and the responsibility believers have not to place stumbling blocks in front of others. The episode also features a powerful testimony of a man in Japan who came to faith through daily Scripture reading and discipleship, illustrating the heart of the 9941 mission: reaching the one and equipping the ninety-nine. The conversation closes with a clear presentation of the gospel and a reminder that true freedom is found not in self-control alone, but in Christ alone. The 9941 Podcast is a Christian podcast hosted by Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and Anthony Lay. Rooted in Luke 15, the show exists to seek the one who feels lost and to equip the ninety-nine to live out their faith with clarity and conviction through Scripture, honest conversation, and real-life stories.   Listen, watch, and learn more: Website: https://9941thepodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@9941ThePodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/9941thepodcast   If this podcast has been helpful to you, consider subscribing and leaving a short review.

Welcome to the very first episode of the 9941 Podcast—a faith-centered conversation rooted in the words of Jesus and the mission to leave the ninety-nine to find the one. In this debut episode, Granger Smith, Tyler Smith, Parker Smith, and The AntMan introduce the heart behind 9941 and explain why this podcast exists. What began as the conclusion of the Granger Smith Podcast now becomes a focused calling—discipleship over popularity, obedience over comfort, and faith over fear. The group reflects on Granger’s decision to step away from country music, the ripple effect it had on family and business, and how God reshaped desires, priorities, and identity along the way. Tyler shares a powerful testimony of surrender after striving in his own strength, while Parker talks about transition, obedience, and trusting God through uncertainty. Together, they wrestle honestly with questions many believers face:Is what I’m doing good—or is it pleasing to God?Am I reaching the crowd, or the one God is calling me to? This episode sets the spiritual foundation for the 9941 Podcast—centered on Luke 15, grounded in Scripture, and focused on authentic conversations about salvation, discipleship, trust, and following Jesus wherever He leads. If you’re searching for a Christian podcast about faith, obedience, purpose, and real-life transformation, this episode is where the journey begins.

Ant Man and the Wolves get an impressive win while the Trae Young trade rumors heat up.

This episode marks the end of a chapter. After more than eight years, Granger and AntMan sit down to look back on the journey of the Granger Smith Podcast, from recording early episodes on a tour bus to conversations that grew deeper through grief, faith, and personal change. They reflect on the wide range of guests, stories, and seasons that shaped the show along the way. Granger shares honestly about how his life and faith have changed over the years, and how that transformation slowly reshaped the heart of the podcast. What began as stories from the road and music conversations eventually became something more personal, more serious, and more centered on pointing people to Christ. That shift brought clarity, but also an identity question about what the podcast had become. By the end of the conversation, Granger explains why this episode is the final one under the Granger Smith Podcast name. But it is not an ending without hope. Instead, it is a transition into something new. The episode introduces the next chapter, a new podcast called The 9941 Podcast, built around the same heart, familiar voices, and a clear purpose to reach those who are searching. It’s a reflective, honest sendoff and an invitation to continue the journey. That new podcast can be found right here in this feed. Although the name will change, your weekly podcasts will show up in the same place you've been getting the Granger Smith Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Granger and AntMan talk honestly about why the holidays feel more stressful than peaceful for so many people today. What used to be a season of rest now feels rushed, chaotic, and noisy, and the guys explore what’s behind that shift. Their conversation leads to a surprising place: the way short-form video and endless scrolling are quietly reshaping our minds, our attention, and even our expectations of what peace should feel like. Granger shares a moment from traveling overseas that first opened his eyes to how extreme scrolling has become, and the two walk through new research showing how short videos affect focus, anxiety, self-control, and the way our brains now crave constant stimulation. They talk about how algorithms prey on our emotions, why age doesn’t protect anyone from these effects, and how quickly “just relaxing on the couch” can turn into something that rewires the way we experience the world. But the episode doesn’t stop at warning signs. Granger and AntMan speak openly about their own habits, the changes they’ve made, and the freedom that comes from stepping away from the swipe. They close with a reminder of where real peace comes from, especially in a season that promises it but rarely delivers. It’s a thoughtful conversation about guarding your heart, finding stillness again, and choosing something better than the endless scroll.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The High and Low Basketball Show is back!Host Ike Amaechi returns with Ugo, Mitch Orsatti, Steven Leslie, and Sean Khan to break down the state of the NBA after a long hiatus. The crew dives straight into the deep end — debating who's the real face of the league in 2025: Luka? Shai? Wemby? Ant-Man? Or has the NBA finally outgrown the idea of one defining superstar?Then, Ike leads the panel through a no-holds-barred Hard Truths segment — confronting the uncomfortable realities NBA fans don't always want to hear, including why the U.S. might not be the center of the basketball universe anymore.And finally, they unpack the “noise” — how the NBA became louder than ever online, yet somehow lost the attention of fans who actually used to watch.Also, check out brand new High and Low merch at vonnabrahamm.com/store, and subscribe to the High and Low Retrospective YouTube channel for deep dives into the TV, film, and music that shaped the culture.Music for this episode is by Lyve of the Enjoy Music Group and Sonny Rocwell of The Goodness.

This week, Granger and AntMan continue their discussion following the reaction to last week's episode on the "Islamic invasion," sparked partly by the election of a Muslim mayor in New York City. Granger shares the intense negative feedback he received, which accused him of being "weak, passive, compromising, and soft" for his stance. He emphasizes the need for constant correction and accountability through Scripture, questioning the call for Christians to "mount up arms and fight against this as they did in the Crusades". The conversation delves into the concept of meekness, which is often misunderstood as weakness in America. Granger explains its ancient Near East context as "power under control" , comparing it to a fiercely strong, tamed mustang that trusts its warrior master enough to charge fearlessly into enemy lines. This idea of controlled strength is contrasted with simply "bucking" or instinctively fighting. AntMan contributes to this by linking it to self-control and the strength required to filter reactions through God's Word rather than reacting instantly in the flesh. A significant portion of the episode focuses on the core Christian command to love your neighbor and love your enemy. Granger argues that this command has no stipulations, even if the enemy "wants you dead". He challenges listeners to see the presence of foreign cultures, like a Muslim family moving down the street, not as an invasion but as a mission field. They discuss how the fear-based reaction often stems from protecting "suburban life" and comfort, which can become an idol. Granger draws a historical parallel between modern "feel-good Christians" and 19th-century slaveholders who practiced a cheap form of Christianity while maintaining a cruel and comfortable lifestyle. Finally, they tackle the notion of "fighting evil". AntMan stresses that the true fight is a spiritual one, using the "sword of the Bible" and prayer for God's will to open the hearts of non-believers. Granger dismisses the common call to be like Nehemiah, building with a tool in one hand and a sword (or "Glock") in the other, arguing this misapplies Old Testament Israel's context to modern-day America. They conclude by urging listeners to embrace the uncomfortable and ask the ultimate question: "What happens if I love them?".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most actors are lucky to be part of a single major film franchise over the course of their career. However, in just five years, Katy O'Brian scored roles in three of the biggest franchises of all time — Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Mission: Impossible. Yet another jaw-dropping and very well earned acting feat? Just a few months after Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hit theaters, O'Brian had not one, not two, not three, but four major releases debut — Queens of the Dead, Christy, Maintenance Required, and now Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man.O'Brian plays Jenni Laughlin in the film, one of three people selected to participate in The Network's most popular and most dangerous game show, The Running Man. The risk is high, but so is the reward. If Laughlin, Glen Powell's Ben Richards, or Martin Herlihy's Jansky manage to evade McCone (Lee Pace) and The Hunters for 30 days, they win a whopping billion New Dollar reward. The odds of that happening? Mighty slim given no one's ever won The Running Man, but producer Dan Killian (Josh Brolin) ensures their pursuit of that jackpot has sky-high entertainment value every single step of the way, even if it means putting the contestants' lives at greater risk or manipulating his audience.With The Running Man now playing in theaters nationwide, O'Brian returns to Collider Ladies Night after first making an appearance on the “Pre-Party” edition of the show for the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and then being part of the first-ever live Ladies Night at San Diego Comic Con in celebration of Twisters. This time around, not only does O'Brian break down her experience playing “chaos personified” in The Running Man, but she also looks back on the last five years and reveals which projects opened new doors, and which ones didn't boost her star in this industry as much as you might expect.

It is time for the final fight. It is the one you have been waiting for. The biggest fight of the century. That is right, Ant Man versus Doctor Doom.....wait....that can't be right. Really, these two? There have been many great one on one fights that have occurred over time. Superman vs Spider-Man, Hulk vs Thing, Impossible Man vs Warlock....but we should figure out what makes a fight epic. I guess one of the ways to know if it is a great fight, is to see who shows up to watch the fight. If the best you can pull are a couple of kids on bikes, it is probably going to be a stinker. If you pull a couple of celestial heavyweights, you may be swinging for the fences. It helps the fight if you have props. I am not talking about tables or chairs, although wrestling does prove that it does help. No, I am talking about proven scientific electrical devices designed to suck the energy out of their bodies. SCIENCE! No matter what happens, you should always have an ambulance on hand in case of an emergency. You never know what could happen. Someone could get hit in the head with a radioactive pebble, or maybe they take a cosmic ray to the eyeball. Anything could happen. Or, you could have your arms crushed while wearing armored gauntlets. You just do not know. Safety first kids. Again, choose your opponent well. Know their strengths and weaknesses. Have they been resurrected recently? What is their strength versus durability? Do they have arms and legs or are they a meeple? Know this before you throw a punch. And then, when the fight starts, don't forget to punch.   Look at the pretty artwork here:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/ff-v2-16-for-all-we-have-and-are/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

The future isn't sleek or utopian; it's loud, televised, and brought to you by your favorite corporate sponsors. In Edgar Wright's high-voltage new film, “The Running Man,” entertainment has literally become a blood sport. Based on Stephen King's 1982 novel, this isn't your father's dystopia; it's a world where survival ratings matter more than life itself, and one wrong move can make you viral in all the wrong ways. Glenn Powell stars as Ben Richards, a man framed, hunted, and transformed into TV's latest disposable hero.It's a punchy, adrenaline-fueled reinvention from a filmmaker who loves turning chaos into choreography. Wright trades the candy-coated energy of “Baby Driver” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” for something grittier and sweatier, a survival thriller that feels uncomfortably close to our algorithmic present. It's wickedly funny, politically sharp, and unmistakably his, even as it veers into darker, nastier terrain.READ MORE: ‘A House of Dynamite': Noah Oppenheim On Real-Time Nuclear Horror, Collaborating With Kathryn Bigelow, His ‘Jack Ryan' Film & More [The Discourse Podcast]

This week, Granger and AntMan dive into one of the most debated topics in American Christianity today — Christian nationalism. The phrase is used everywhere, but few agree on what it actually means. Is it simply loving your country, or is it trying to merge faith and politics into one? Granger and AntMan unpack the confusion by looking at the history, definitions, and different viewpoints surrounding the movement. As they talk through how patriotism can cross the line into idolatry, Granger reflects on his own story — from singing songs about America to learning what it means to put Christ above every national or political identity. Together, they explore how cultural pride, fear, and comfort can quietly pull believers away from the gospel, even when the intentions seem good. Throughout the episode, the conversation stays grounded in Scripture. Granger and AntMan remind listeners that God’s kingdom isn’t tied to a flag or a political system, and that Christians are called to live with humility and love in whatever nation they’re placed. It’s an honest and needed discussion about faith, country, and where our true allegiance belongs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s the very first Friday Q&A on the Granger Smith Podcast! Granger and AntMan dive into your listener emails and tackle some real, thought-provoking questions from the community. This week, a campus minister writes in about tensions with church leadership over differing worldviews — from Taylor Swift fandom to cultural ideology — and asks how to respond with both grace and truth. Granger shares biblical perspective on when it might be time to lovingly part ways and how to do it with peace and humility. Then, another listener asks whether churches should preach verse-by-verse or focus on modern issues like politics and culture. Granger unpacks the difference between expository preaching and topical teaching, explaining how faithful teaching always starts with Scripture — not the other way around. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to stand firm in truth while living out grace, this episode will challenge and encourage you.

In this powerful first-ever Granger Smith Podcast Reaction, Granger and AntMan dive into the viral conversation between Forrest Frank and Jelly Roll following Forrest’s decision to step away from the Dove Awards. Granger breaks down what it means to truly live out your faith in the spotlight — exploring conviction, humility, and obedience over fame and recognition. The two discuss the deeper spiritual message behind Forrest’s decision, Jelly Roll’s public response, and how believers can respond with grace when the world pushes back.

This week, Granger and AntMan sit down for a Halloween conversation that turns into something much deeper. They start by laughing about neighborhood decorations, haunted houses, and their childhood memories of trick-or-treating — but the discussion soon shifts toward what Halloween really represents and how Christians should think about it today. Granger shares what led him to skip Halloween this year and walks through the history of the holiday, from its ancient Celtic roots to the traditions we see now. He reads from Scripture and talks about how believers can respond to cultural celebrations that seem harmless on the surface but have darker origins underneath. Together, they explore what it means to “abstain from every form of evil” without falling into fear or legalism. The conversation ends with a powerful reminder that following Christ isn’t about rules or appearances — it’s about freedom, discernment, and learning to love what is good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Granger and AntMan take on one of the most complicated and emotional topics in the world today — Israel. With headlines filled with bombings, politics, and global tension, they slow down to ask a deeper question: how should Christians really think about what’s happening there? Granger shares his experiences from two trips to Israel, including visits to the site of the 2023 music festival massacre near Gaza. He describes walking through memorials, seeing the bunkers, and talking with Israeli soldiers and families living in constant fear. But he also tells the stories of Palestinians he met in the West Bank — parents who just want to feed their children and live in peace. The conversation moves from the human side of the conflict to the spiritual one. Granger and AntMan open Scripture to look at what the Bible says about Israel — the difference between the modern nation and the Israel of the Bible, and how Christians should view God’s promises today. In the end, Granger reminds listeners that God doesn’t pick sides the way we do. He’s not for one nation or another; He’s for His own purpose and glory. It’s a hard but hopeful truth, pointing us back to Christ as the only source of real peace in a world that keeps breaking apart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Helen Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Genius Myth: Great Ideas Don't Come from Lone Geniuses.  Notes: Shakespeare: Talent + Luck + Timing - William Shakespeare died in 1616 at age 52, celebrated but not yet immortal. His icon status required massive luck: friends published the First Folio (saving King Lear), then 50 years later, Charles II reopened England's theaters after Puritan closures and needed content. Companies turned to Shakespeare's IP, adapting his work (including changing tragedies to happy endings). Helen: "If anyone deserves to be called a genius, it's him. But he died as a successful man of his age. Scenius Over Genius - Brian Eno coined "scenius" - places that are unusually productive and creative. Shakespeare moved from Warwickshire to London for the theaters and playwrights. Helen: "You don't just have to be Leonardo, you also need Florence... Where do you find the coolest, most interesting bleeding edge of your field?" Modern example: Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership in Austin created an alternative to LA/NYC for comedians like Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe. Ryan: "Put yourself in rooms where you feel like the dumbest person... force you to rise up, think differently, work harder." Tim Berners-Lee vs. Elon Musk - Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Has knighthood, lives an ordinary life, kids named Alice and Ben. Most people have never heard of him. Elon Musk has a lot of children, talks about his genes needing to live on, and lives a very public life. Helen: "We overrate the self-promoters, the narcissists. We demand oddness and specialness... We don't call modest people geniuses because they're too normal." Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) and Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX) exploited this - looked like a genius (Steve Jobs cosplay, messy math prodigy) but stood on houses of cards. Trauma and the "I'll Show You" Engine - Matthew Parris wrote Fracture after noticing how many "great lives" had traumatic childhoods - loss of parents, being unloved, bullied. Helen: "I don't think that's necessarily genius in objective achievement. It's more like a hunger for recognition or fame... a kind of 'I'll show all of you' engine." Stephen Hawking on IQ - Stephen Hawking: "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers." The Flynn Effect shows average IQ rose over the 20th century through better nutrition, schooling, and living conditions. Higher IQ correlates with better outcomes. But at the top end, every IQ point ≠ is one success point. Christopher Langan (the highest IQ guy) thinks he has a theory to overturn Einstein, and that Bush did 9/11 to cover it up. No history of achievement. Helen: "Smart people don't always prosper. You need the gears that connect the engine to the wheels on the road." Conspiracy Theories: Narcissism as Driver - Narcissism is the most correlated personality trait with conspiracy thinking. Helen: "The sheeple, the NPCs think this, but I alone have seen the truth. It positions you as the protagonist of reality." The Internet is a "confirmation bias engine." But conspiracies are sometimes true (Epstein's corrupt plea deal), which is why conspiracy thinking persists. Researcher Karen Stenner's solution: Get back to depoliticized conspiracies like Bigfoot, crop circles, Area 51 - harmless things that got people outside instead of "shoot up a pizza restaurant." The Beatles: Finiteness Creates Legend - Psychologist Han Isaac said geniuses should either die before 30 or live past 80. Middle is "eh." The Beatles had both: a short career that ended definitively, then John Lennon was shot at 40, frozen in time. Paul McCartney lives on, performs at Glastonbury with John's vocals. Craig Brown: "The Rolling Stones just go on and on, but there's never as much of the Beatles as you want." Quality Over Quantity - Helen: "Incentive now is producing constantly for algorithms... That's neither fun nor produces the best work." Early career: say YES. Later career: "The most important thing you can say is no." Her metric: "Can I say honestly, that was the best I could do? I didn't cut corners. That's the metric." Podcast: advised to do 2-3 episodes weekly for rankings, has been doing weekly for 10.5 years. Shows that went daily? He stopped listening. "I'm gonna increase the quality bar, not the quantity." Robert Greene: "Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence." Improving the Silence - "My dad's not the loudest at family gatherings, doesn't have the most words, but when he speaks, we all stop and listen. That's who you want to be." Applies to meetings: people vomit garbage to show how smart they are instead of waiting for something valuable. When you speak, people should want to listen. Thomas Edison: Execution Over Ideas - The Light bulb wasn't Edison's conceptual innovation - the idea dated to Humphrey Davy. What was incredible: Edison made it work (vacuum seal, filament) and created the New York power grid. Helen: "Lots of people can have the idea that a man should be an ant. Not everybody can write the Ant-Man screenplay and have it produced." His Menlo Park lab lasted because he worked with brilliant people on problems they cared about. Logbook shows assistants' names on breakthroughs - collaborative. We underrate logistics and execution. Most "light bulb moments" are actually slow, incremental, contested creations. Why Helen Chooses Teams Over Independence - Could go independent on Substack for more money. Works at The Atlantic for: resources, legal support, editorial integrity, and colleagues she doesn't want to let down. Helen: "You must have people in your life, you think, I wanna do work that they like. Finding those people who make you your best version of yourself." Ryan connects to athletics: "Being surrounded by people better than me forces me to raise my game. That's why we want to be part of a great team." Sample First, Specialize Later - High achievers have "hot streak" later, but sample early - trying different things, learning transferable skills. Helen: "Take the first job at a publication you could learn from. Even if not wildly interested, if it's good and they'll hold you to high standards, do it. Your second job is infinitely easier to get than your first." Work Around People Who Care - Helen: "If you work somewhere where no one cares, it's very hard. You can't care on your own. You'll become infected by the apathy around you." Nothing is more boring than a job you don't care about. Don't Wait to Live - Some devote long hours to something for money, promising they'll retire at 30 and then live. Helen: "What if you spent all that time chasing something and then you get hit by a truck? Don't wait for it. Just try and enjoy what you're doing right now." Quotes: "You don't just have to be Leonardo, you also need Florence."  "We overrate the self-promoters and underrate the humble achievers."  "Smart people don't always prosper. You need the gears that connect the engine to the wheels."  "The most important thing you can say is no."  "Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence." - Robert Greene "You can't care on your own. You'll become infected by the apathy around you."  It's funny that we have come to use the phrase ‘lightbulb moment' to describe a momentary flash of inspiration, because the birth of the lightbulb was slow, incremental, and highly contested.

This week, Granger and AntMan revisit a decades-old prediction that’s resurfacing online — an MIT study from 1972 claiming society could collapse by 2040. The two dig into what that actually means, what the researchers got right and wrong, and how changing population trends might be shaping the future faster than we realize. From the idea of socialism as a global “solution” to declining birth rates and the rise of technology, the conversation moves from history to the present day. Granger shares stories from his travels, including a talk with a Venezuelan Uber driver, as they unpack why grand theories about saving the world always seem to ignore human nature. But the heart of the episode isn’t fear — it’s faith. Granger points back to Scripture, reminding listeners that no matter what predictions come true, God’s plan doesn’t change. Whether the world lasts another fifteen years or a thousand, our mission remains the same: to live for Christ and share His gospel in the time we’re given.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Granger and AntMan talk about one of the most difficult topics yet: people celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead of rallying anger or division, they slow down to ask why anyone would respond that way and what it says about the deeper shifts happening in our culture. The conversation moves into the idea of cultural paradigms—different ways societies define right and wrong, honor and shame, or even oppressor and oppressed. Granger shares how these lenses shape the way people view events and how they can make neighbors see each other as enemies. But the heart of the episode is not politics or culture—it’s the gospel. Granger and AntMan point to Scripture to show that only Christ can break down the walls that separate us, whether those walls are built from ideology, bitterness, or fear. The message is clear: peace comes not from taking sides, but from the cross.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Granger and AntMan wrestle with a hard question: where is God when tragedy strikes? The conversation centers on the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk and how moments like this stir up doubts and fears. They look to Scripture for examples of suffering and persecution, and talk honestly about why God allows evil in a broken world. Granger shares how our response to pain reveals what we truly believe about God’s character. AntMan adds perspective on how easy it is to seek quick answers, but how the Bible calls us to trust even when life doesn’t make sense. Together, they remind listeners that God has not abandoned us, even in times of chaos. The episode is both sobering and hopeful, pointing us back to the truth that faith is not about avoiding hardship but about holding on to Christ when everything else feels uncertain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Granger and AntMan take on a headline that sounds like it belongs in a science fiction movie: Bill Gates has been promoting the idea of an electronic tattoo that could one day replace smartphones. The guys dig into what this technology might mean, how it could change everyday life, and why so many people connect it to the biblical idea of the mark of the beast. They talk through the practical side of tech shifts we’ve all experienced, from paper boarding passes to biometric scans, and ask what it would look like if people could no longer buy, sell, or even travel without adopting the latest invention. At the same time, they keep the focus on Scripture, pointing out the difference between using technology and turning it into an idol. The conversation is both serious and lighthearted, with moments of laughter as they imagine the strange possibilities of nanotech tattoos. But at its heart, the episode reminds listeners that salvation isn’t about avoiding a device or a system—it’s about where your worship and trust are placed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
