And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

This week we've got Isiah Kelly in the NNFA Turtle Lair to talk about growing up as the son of a stand-up comic, forging his own path, and why having a famous last name doesn't guarantee success. We talk whether nepotism really exists in Black comedy, growing up as a comedian's son and the pressure that comes with it. Then Dave accidentally letting a comic walk around with a roach on him and why men and women handle awkward situations differently, gaming culture, trash talk, and comic life offstage, Dave's new boxing routine (powered by Britney Spears), watching The Odyssey in 4DX, Usher's viral fan rejection and the internet's reaction, the age-old question: could you go to a strip club with your dad? Plus Jim Jones, John Lennon, and one of the most random debates you'll hear this week!DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE Watch “Gone in 60 Steps"! https://www.youtube.com/@GoneIn60Steps MERCH https://nnfa.creator-spring.com/ BONUS CONTENT https://www.patreon.com/c/ImDaveTemple?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink -----------------Follow host Derek GainesIG https://www.instagram.com/thegreatboy/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQDlfXd3hPcpTkU8xHYBTg Follow host Dave TempleIG https://www.instagram.com/imdavetemple/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@DAT46Follow guest Isiah KellyIG https://www.instagram.com/isiahkelly/ Follow No Need for ApologiesIG https://www.instagram.com/nnfapodcast/ TT https://www.tiktok.com/@noneedforapologies FB https://www.facebook.com/noneedforapologies/Produced by Teona SashaIG https://www.instagram.com/teonasasha/TT https://www.tiktok.com/@teonasasha -----------------To advertise your product on our podcasts please email jimmy@gasdigitalmarketing.com with a brief description about your product and any shows you may be interested in advertising on.SEND US MAIL:GaS Digital StudiosAttn: NNFA151 1st Ave # 311New York, NY 10003"No Need for Apologies" - NEW Episodes every Saturday at 3PM/ET on YouTube-----------------⏱️CHAPTERS00:00 Intro00:45 Welcome to the Show02:24 Isiah Kelly Joins the Show04:10 Is There Nepotism in Black Comedy?06:00 Dave's Apology of the Week11:10 Derek's Wild Apology Story15:59 Why Isiah Is a Homebody20:30 Growing Up as a Comic's Son22:06 Boxing to Britney Spears27:10 Watching The Odyssey in 4DX36:00 Usher Fan on Stage Gets Awkward40:57 Could You Go to a Strip Club With Your Dad?45:11 Jim Jones Says He'd Rather Drink With Men49:50 John Lennon, Feminism & Music Debate58:00 OutroSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. T

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Yahuah Hamishia:

For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

The TLDR here is simple: 'BEEF' Is the Best Show on Netflix right now.But hop in anyway because Ebube's summoned AJ and Soonen for a union that's decidedly NOT fueled by road rage or deteriorating romance. The trio get into everything from who's actually in the right this season, to what the show has to say about the systems that feed the human conditionThey talk about how this season is as much about class warfare as individual conflicts (4:27), in line with what this season of the show is truly about (6:31); as well as the richness of the performances (9:49), Josh and Lindsay's delusion (19:49), how power changes people (23:35) and why it's important for young men to have solid role models (30:02).Art does mirror life after all.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Vought doesn't just make superheroes, it makes narratives and Gen V Season 2 doubles down on that idea until it starts to feel like a full-on culture war machine. We break down how Godolkin University shifts from a messy training ground into a controlled pipeline for ruthless “soldiers,” all while Homelander's grip tightens across America and the students get pushed into ideological corners they can't easily escape. If you've been looking for a clear Gen V season 2 recap with honest reactions, this review is built for you. We start by grounding everything in the season one chain of events: Marie Moreau's origin, Golden Boy's shocking collapse, the horror of The Woods, and the way Kate's memory wipes poison every relationship in the core group. From there, we track how Vought spins the aftermath into a PR cover-up that crowns new “guardians” and traps others as villains, because in The Boys universe, perception is power. Then we dig into season two's biggest plot engine: the Odessa Project and the reveal that Marie's life may have been engineered from the start. We talk through Dean Cypher's control tactics, the fallout from Andre's off-screen death after Chance Perdomo's passing, and why some twists feel huge while the payoff still lands uneven. We also unpack the Sister Sage and Thomas Godolkin turns, the finale's rapid-fire moves, and why the season leaves us at a six out of ten even with all the ambition. If you're watching Gen V and The Boys for the characters as much as the carnage, you'll have plenty to argue with us about.

The Supreme Court says abortion pills can still be mailed… FOR NOW! Which means Lizz and Moji have spent the last several days stress sweating through every twist, loophole, and terrifying little breadcrumb in this mifepristone decision. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito continue their quest to become the most divorced-from-reality men alive, and why anti-abortion extremists are still doing everything they can to drag abortion access back to the Stone Age using junk science, legal chaos, and the world's crustiest ideology.   AND because the universe refuses to let us rest for even one second, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is OUT. Depending on which weird little corner of the internet you ask, it's either because he wouldn't let kids rip bubblegum-flavored vape clouds in peace OR because anti-abortion lawmakers were furious he wasn't moving fast enough to ban abortion pills nationwide. Honestly? In this timeline, both sound possible.   GUEST ROLL CALL: The absolutely brilliant Solomon Georgio joins the Buzzkills this week, and trust us, we needed him. The comedian, TV writer, and professional destroyer of bad vibes talks with Lizz and Moji about dealing with hecklers, navigating MAGA comedy crowds, dating disasters, surviving America as a 6'4” Black queer immigrant, and somehow still remaining one of the funniest people alive while the country freefalls directly into the sun.   The news is unhinged, the lawmakers are embarrassing, and the vibes are medically concerning, but knowledge is power, rage is fuel, and we gotchu.   URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now!

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

PBS Newshour co-anchor Geoff Bennett is out with a new book that presents portraits of Black artists who shaped comedy. Black Out Loud is a history that starts with vaudeville and runs through the ‘90s, when sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, In Living Color and Family Matters carried the responsibility of representing a varied Black experience. In today's episode, Bennett speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about vaudeville and minstrelsy as the DNA of Black comedic performance, the impact of Amos ‘n' Andy, and comedians like Bert Williams, Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Laughter and joy have always been central to the Black experience.The '90s especially were a golden era for Black comedy. But it didn't just start then — there were others that paved the way for shows like Living Color, Martin, and A Different World.The truth is: Black comedians have always shaped culture and civic discourse in America.We sit down with broadcaster and author Geoff Bennett to talk about his new book, "Black Out Loud," which explores Black comedy's history and cultural influence.Guest:Geoff Bennett, co-anchor of PBS NewsHour, author of "Black Out Loud: The Revolutionary History of Black Comedy from Vaudeville to '90s Sitcoms"

A new book traces how Black comedians developed their craft, from vaudeville and the Chitlin' Circuit to stand-up stages and 1990s sitcoms. PBS NewsHour co-anchor Geoff Bennett joins us to discuss his latest book, Black Out Loud: The Revolutionary History of Black Comedy from Vaudeville to '90s Sitcoms, ahead of a conversation with comedians and writers Phoebe Robinson and Jordan Carlos this Thursday, March 25th in the Greene Space.

In the 1990s, a remarkable wave of Black sitcoms and sketch comedy reshaped American television. Shows like "In Living Color" and "Living Single" reflected a wide range of Black life and helped broaden how millions of viewers understood Black experiences.

Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog  Nothing's Changed/Nothing's New and we learned that in 1996 with Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog. As important 30 years later as when it was released, this week Mr. Chavez & I sit down to understand a film that predicted its own time (being released a few weeks before The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky White House Scandal would break), but is also a simpler and almost quaint version of Epstein, Donald Trump, and Ol' Billy Jeff returning to relevance. A Sex Scandal covered up by a Manufactured War, revealing the spin doctoring and propaganda that fuels every election, Wag the Dog is the rare film that grows bolder and more prescient as years pass and facts fight to be discovered. Featuring great performances from Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman (hilarious, exaggerated, and on point), and a supporting cast including Anne Heche, Willie Nelson, Denis Leary, William H. Macy, and a ridiculously unhinged Woody Harrelson, Wag the Dog has volumes to say about our government, The White House, political parties, and the lying, cheating bastards that run the machine.

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of THE MOST HIGH  upon the earth.”

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed THE MOST HIGH because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Glenn Powell (Top Gun Maverick, Twisters, Anyone But You) plays Beckett Redfellow, the apparent eventual heir of a multi-billion dollar fortune from the Long Island-based Redfellow clan.....only he's the eighth in line after his late mother was pushed out of the family right before he was born.  So inspired by the sudden reappearance of Julia (Margaret Qualley) a seductive socialist he has had a crush on since childhood, he decides to embark on a unique mission to move up closer to that inheritance by murdering everyone else in the Redfellow clan one-by-one.  The Redfellow family members who are his targets are played by Ed Harris, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, and Topher Grace among others.  Directed by John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal), let's find out exactly HOW Beckett lives up to the title of this film. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

We were told that the 144,000 had come through the great tribulation.

They have the name of the Lamb and of his Father on their foreheads (7:3)They are with the Lamb on Mount Zion. They were redeemed from the earth. They did not defile themselves with women; they kept themselves pure.They were purchased from among mankind, and were offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

While interesting fodder for discussion and a fascinating look into the earlier stages of social media, virality, and its impact on relevance, some of the characters left more to be desired

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
