We wanted to bring the community together, and we wanted to get across the country. Lesley Logan 0:09  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:52  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast with Brad as my guest. Brad Crowell 0:56  What? Who is here? Lesley Logan 0:57  Have we actually done it where you're my guest?Brad Crowell 1:00  Maybe. I mean, I've been on a couple of episodes where we've had, like, a group with some guests, but, like, has it just been you and I on them? Lesley Logan 1:07  But you're also, no, I don't think so. Brad Crowell 1:09  Maybe this is, I'm making a debut, people. Lesley Logan 1:11  All right, so here's the deal. We actually have to, like, do this as if I was introducing that episode, so that there can be an ad break. Brad Crowell 1:18  All right, go ahead. Lesley Logan 1:19  Hey guys. So today's episode is gonna be a little different, because, yes, as you heard, Brad's on the show, and we're gonna be talking a bit about the tour, and I thought it'd be really fun for us to actually take you back in the history of like, how the OPC tours started, why we do them, and just have some talk about the tour this week, because we're coming up on our eighth tour.Brad Crowell 1:40  I can't believe it's been eight. That's like mind blowing, actually. Lesley Logan 1:43  We're crazy people. Brad Crowell 1:44  Maybe a little bit, maybe just a little bit. Lesley Logan 1:46  Okay. So, Brad, do you remember when we did the first tour? Do you remember how the idea came to be?Brad Crowell 1:52  I do remember how the idea came to be. So you and I were in a coaching group, and there was another couple in the group who had written a book. They were very excited about this book, and they wanted to go around the cities and do a book tour launch slash hosting workshops while they were effectively selling their book. Lesley Logan 2:11  Yeah. And we were like, well, how can we go on a book tour? Because, I mean, yes, I have a book, but I didn't want to, like, go on a tour about the book. I was like, that doesn't really, I don't know if that's something I could do all the time. We're like, what if I, like, what, how can we go on a tour? And then, because you were a touring musician.Brad Crowell 2:25  Right, as soon as I, as soon as I heard them say that, and we started talking, I was like, we could just teach Pilates classes as we drive around on a tour. Like, hello. So obvious. Why did we not think of it before? Lesley Logan 2:37  The year, so we need to go back a year before that, Brad. So the only reason we actually thought we could do a tour in 2019 was because in 2018 I put my feet in the sand and said, I'm not flying home for the holidays. I'm not doing it. I love your family, but I can't do another flight. We've already done 150,000 miles of flying. I've been everywhere, and I hate flying at Christmas time. And also, for some reason, guys, LAX to Philly is almost impossible to find a nonstop flight. It's impossible to find a nonstop flight from Las Vegas to Philly, and so you have to fly red eyes, which is annoying because it's four and a half hours, not six hours, so you're not getting any sleep. And then you land there, and it's 11am somehow, and you're like, how?Brad Crowell 3:22  Yeah, you land at seven, by the time you get back to the house, it's 10:30, yeah, I mean, it's.Lesley Logan 3:26  Annoying. Brad Crowell 3:26  Not great. Lesley Logan 3:26  Anyways. Also, the last time we flew in 2017, I did finally fall asleep. And then, of course, the lights come on and they're like, is there a doctor on the plane? And I was just like, if they land this plane, if someone is not, of course, I want people to live. I'm not an asshole. But also I was finally asleep. So anyways, because we had done a cross-country tour. Brad Crowell 3:50  Trip. Lesley Logan 3:50  Trip, trip, in 2018. Brad Crowell 3:51  We just, we just rented a car, let's just go east, basically. And we didn't have an agenda other than we just had a couple of friends along the way that we were interested in seeing and saying hi to, and that was it. Lesley Logan 4:05  Just kind of based on, like, how many hours we thought, like, together we could drive. And, okay, that gets us here at night. And, oh, we have friends in St Louis. Okay, we can go here. So we have this tiny little car with the two dogs, and we drove. Brad Crowell 4:17  And we rented an SUV. But I was like, oh, you know, I don't need a, I don't need like a huge Tahoe or Chevy Suburban or anything. We could just get a regular SUV. It was so small, y'all. Lesley Logan 4:28  I don't know how they can call it an SUV. You guys, it was like, no, this is not an SUV. If you put a family of five in there, you couldn't have the groceries in the car, like it was so small. But anyways, it was just the two of us and the two dogs. And when we were on this trip, I was like, posting on Instagram, and this is before you really used Instagram for business, but I was posting like, oh, we're here. You know, I feel like, are you teaching here? And I was like, oh, people want us to teach here. I didn't know people would want your class on the holidays. So this had happened in 2018. Brad Crowell 4:56  That's right. Lesley Logan 4:57  Fast forward to October of 2019, and we are hearing this, and we're like, well, how can we do, so we had the, we knew.Brad Crowell 5:04  Kind of like had like I, like, we, we'd been prompted by our members from OPC, but that didn't actually turn into like we're going to do this tour thing next year, until this other couple was talking about their book launch, you're right. So, that was like, the second step to push us, if we're, like, to make it happen. Lesley Logan 5:21  Yeah and because we knew we could do the drive. Brad Crowell 5:22  Right, because we just done it the previous year, and we drove, you know, we drove both ways, you know, back and forth. Lesley Logan 5:28  Yeah. So we actually did the posters on the wall. I should have grabbed it for the visual, but we did, like, eight or nine cities, actually, we did on the very first we did Las Vegas. Brad Crowell 5:37  So that was 2019. Lesley Logan 5:39  We did Las Vegas, Denver, we did. Brad Crowell 5:43  Did we do St Louis? Lesley Logan 5:44  I don't know that we did St Louis. We did, no, we did Libertyville. So we did outside of Chicago, and then we did, like, some other ville, like, which was outside of Cleveland, but not Cleveland. Brad Crowell 5:55  Yeah, it was close to Cleveland, though. Lesley Logan 5:57  And then we did Lehigh Valley. Brad Crowell 6:00  Right, yeah, it was like, basically Bethlehem. Lesley Logan 6:03  And then we did Nashville, and then we did Atlanta. Brad Crowell 6:06  Oh, we did Nashville? Lesley Logan 6:07  Yeah. Brad Crowell 6:08  Oh. Lesley Logan 6:08  It was huge, like, 30 people, and that's why it's so, and people were like are you in Nashville, you guys are not, like, ever since then, not such a great follow up, you guys are not great. Love you. We want to go, trust me, we want to do Nashville. Um, then we did Atlanta, and then we did Austin, and then we did Phoenix. Brad Crowell 6:28  Geez, I don't even know how you remember these things. Lesley Logan 6:30  And then, I know, and then, and then, I don't know that we considered it part of the tour, although very much was. It was in January, we did Redlands, and then the world shut down. And then, so our first tour. Brad Crowell 6:46  We did Scottsdale. It was the last stop. Lesley Logan 6:48  Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did this really cool place in Scottsdale. Brad Crowell 6:51  Yeah. So I actually just pulled up the list. You nailed it, Vegas to Denver, to Chicago, which is Libertyville, to Cleveland, which is Strongsville, your second ville.Lesley Logan 6:58  I said it was another ville. Brad Crowell 6:59  I'm so impressed. Then Lehigh Valley, which is Bethlehem, and then Nashville, Austin and Scottsdale. Yeah. I am impressed. Lesley Logan 7:06  And then there was like, this little post tour stop in Redlands, which was not part of the tour. We added it in after the fact, but it was so fun. And it was like the true die hards, you know, the people who know the band before they make it to Coachella. It was like.Brad Crowell 7:20  Scottsdale was insane to me, that people even came out. It was like, negative 4 million degrees hot, and we had an outdoor venue. Lesley Logan 7:28  It was New Year's Eve. It was New Year's Eve at an outdoor venue. Brad Crowell 7:32  We literally had, like, it was, like, every three mats, there was a space heater, and everyone was like, oh my God, it's so cool. We're doing Pilates outside on January 1st. What are we doing? Lesley Logan 7:40  We all got warm enough, and it was super fun. And it was so great. Brad Crowell 7:44  It was so fun. Lesley Logan 7:45  It was sold out. It was such a great spot. And people, like, came from Canada, there, it was just like crazy. So, at any rate, it was so much fun, and we wanted new, we knew we want to do it again, but then, of course, the pandemic happened. But here's what got to happen, guys, so the pandemic happened, Brad and I still drove across the U.S., but we thought. Brad Crowell 8:01  I was just looking at the ticket sales, we had 133 tickets sold on that first tour.Lesley Logan 8:07  On the first tour, yeah. But we did that with a Tahoe, by the way. Brad Crowell 8:11  What, the second tour? After the first tour.Lesley Logan 8:15  No, no, we went to the Tahoe for the first tour. We went to the Tahoe. Brad Crowell 8:18  2019 yeah, you're right, yeah, because we knew that the tiny little SUV wasn't going to cut it, especially because we were bringing, like, stuff, and it was gonna be a little more of a robust tour. So we rented a Tahoe, and that was fine-ish, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't ideal, though, because, like, there was no real, yes, you could lay down on the back seat. We had this, the back, the middle seat was laid flat, but like, you know, it wasn't comfortable trying to sleep in the passenger seats sucks, like.Lesley Logan 8:45  Yeah, and also, you guys, we also, because we're going to places where we had clients, it wasn't necessarily places where we had friends, and so we were getting hotels. We had a hotel in Denver. We stayed in the financial district. Brad Crowell 8:57  Oh, I forgot we did. Lesley Logan 8:58  And then, in Libertyville we did stay at the host, like, basement, but Gaia had an accident. We're like, my God, we can't stay in people's houses, because Gaia's old. At any rate, it was really fun, and we, like, did it, but then with the pandemic, we obviously couldn't do it again. But what we did do during the year of 2020, was we actually bought the van, and because we knew we wanted a tour vehicle, and thank God we bought it, even though we weren't going on tour that year because they wanted to pay us what we paid for that van, like people were like, clamoring to get that van off our hands. But we got the van, you guys, we took it across the country in less than 48 hours. We drove from Las Vegas.Brad Crowell 9:34  That was 55 on the way home. Yep, 55 hours solid, from Philadelphia to Vegas. Lesley Logan 9:39  We, but on the way there, I don't think that van ever really stopped, because we tried to sleep in Vail on a mattress on the metal base of this cargo van. Brad Crowell 9:50  So okay, so here's what this looks like. We buy a cargo van. A cargo van is an empty box on wheels. Okay? And we bought the longest and the tallest, so it's 23 feet long, it's nine and change tall. And it's a big, it's a big, empty box. Lesley Logan 10:07  We've loaded it up. We have pictures of you and the empty box. Brad Crowell 10:09  The only thing that we did was throw things on the floor. There was nothing else in there. We literally had a mattress with six blankets on it, right? And then we had boxes and suitcases. Lesley Logan 10:21  Everything had to be tied on the walls. Brad Crowell 10:23  We took our, we took our, this is so fun, we raided our own laundry room because in the laundry room we have one of those wheelie situations where you could throw your dirty laundry, but then you could hang clean laundry up at the top. So I took that out of the laundry room, and I zip tied it to the wall of the van, bungee corded it to the wall of the van, and that became like, how did we store? How did we do our clothes, you know? So, like, that was our closet. Lesley Logan 10:49  It was crazy, because then we were driving back with all these boxes, I just felt like everything was gonna fly on us. Anyways, so, Erika Quest shout out to Erika Quest, she had a dream about us the night we were sleeping in Vail, because we're in the Walmart parking in Vail. So we pull into this Walmart parking lot in Vail, and I'm in the bed. Went into the six blankets. We got the three dogs. You're under the blankets. It's great. It's actually fine, because, like, we blasted the heat. Everything's fine. Brad Crowell 11:11  I mean, it was cold, like cold in your face, but it was like the mummy bags when you went camping as a kid. Lesley Logan 11:16  Yeah. So, so great. So anyways, we're halfway through the night, we're sleeping so good and then August stands up to turn around in the bed, and he basically just twists all the blankets off of us. And in that instant, you and I both were awake. Brad Crowell 11:29  I was so angry. Lesley Logan 11:29  And so angry and so cold. Brad Crowell 11:30  Because I had just gone to sleep. It was midnight when I pulled in, and then I was literally asleep for two hours, and then he pulled all the blankets off of all of us by twirling around. And I was so frustrated about it, and it was eight degrees out, and I was like, screw it, we're just gonna continue to drive to Denver.Lesley Logan 11:47  Erika Quest had a dream that night that we were cold. She had a dream that we were really cold. And I said, well, you don't have to worry, because Brad drove us to Denver, where it was a little bit warmer. Brad Crowell 11:56  It was 30 degrees in Denver, it was so much warmer. Lesley Logan 11:58  So much more tolerable to sleep in. At any rate, we, like, got across the country, and people are like, oh, I wish you were doing the tour. And it's like, yeah, well, it's COVID. It's very unsafe, we cannot do it. But we were able to plan how much driving is possible. What do we want to do, and how we want to do this. And then, we did in 2021.Brad Crowell 12:14  We suppose, oh, that was '21. Lesley Logan 12:17  Yeah. So then, 2021, we were vaccinated, we were ready. We planned this whole tour, but we planned a small one. It was actually, I don't think it was as big as our first one, because. Brad Crowell 12:28  No, it was only like. Lesley Logan 12:30  Seven cities or something like that, because we, we, I think our first stop was going to be Pennsylvania.Brad Crowell 12:34  It was Philly, New York, like, city, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas. We were talking about Providence, but we postponed it, so it was only five. Lesley Logan 12:45  It was really small. And we actually had to cancel Philly and New York City, because along the route, I was exposed to COVID. I didn't know that I had it. And thankfully, someone texted me, and everything was going crazy at the time that variant came up. So we still did the tour. It was quite small. The (inaudible) happened and. Brad Crowell 13:03  We have way more time at my parents house than we normally do.Lesley Logan 13:07  A lot of time it was super fun, but we knew we're like, like, we want these tours to be a thing. And I ought to share this with you, because when you're being it till you see it, way of doing things, this is how long goals can take. Brad Crowell 13:17  2018 was our first cross country drive. 2019 was the first tour, 2020 was canceled. 2021 was, was. Lesley Logan 13:25  Was already going to be a smaller tour, because of the pandemic. Brad Crowell 13:29  It was five stops max. Lesley Logan 13:31  And by the way, every stop we picked were like huge spaces that's why they were picked.Brad Crowell 13:35  Yeah, we actually picked large rooms. Lesley Logan 13:37  Huge spaces. The Philly one was like softball, baseball, indoor practice arena, it was like 3000 square feet.Brad Crowell 13:42  I think they only started vaccinating people a couple months prior. Lesley Logan 13:45  No, this summer we got vaccinated. Brad Crowell 13:47  It was the summer, yeah. Six months.Lesley Logan 13:49  Yeah, so, but there was the booster, and then there's the thing. Anyways, because it was the holidays, we wanted to be conscientious. We want to make sure people felt safe. So we're like, these studios are massive, and we're only filling half the spaces. So at any rate, we really kind of got sidelined on that first half of that tour, but we got to do it. We got to do the second half, and we got to do Miami, Atlanta and Dallas, but then we were able to meet up with Balanced Body in the march of the next year. We got to tell them what we were doing. Got to get them really excited, and that's when we actually got to actually start to make our tours even bigger and better and add the Summer Tour.Brad Crowell 14:25  So that was tour number four. Lesley Logan 14:27  Tour number four was our first Summer Tour.Brad Crowell 14:28  It was the first with Balanced Body. That was the first Summer Tour. And we've been telling Balanced Body about these tours from the beginning. Lesley Logan 14:35  October of 2019, I told them what we were doing, and Ken and Al were like, oh, can you put a Reformer in that van? Anyways, all this to say this was like years in the making. And we'll, and next episode, we'll actually go into a bit about, like, why we work with a sponsor, what our tours have like become because they are bigger. They used to be, like, two weeks long, eight cities, five cities, and then they became 14 and 18 and 22 and and now we're getting like, 800 people to come and some amazing things. Lesley Logan 15:05  I want to wrap this up with some, be it action items, because I think that that's what is really important. So you'll do some, Brad, I'll do some. We never get to do, but that's, this will buy me time, because I didn't prepare you for this. One of the best things I could say is take a note of when those little things go, oh, I want to do something like that, even if you're like, wow, that's crazy. Why would I even think of that idea? It's such a crazy idea. Pay attention to those crazy nudges and then make it something that's possible to do now, because a lot of people come with an idea, oh, I'm gonna go on a book tour and I'm gonna have sponsors, and have this, and have this. We literally had like, two prizes. We had no sponsors. Brad Crowell 15:44  Yeah, I think, I think you might have got called Toesox and, or, you know, like.Lesley Logan 15:48  Yeah, I called Toesox and Carbon38. Brad Crowell 15:50  And we just said, hey, can you give us some socks? That was the cool thing. We want to do a giveaway. Lesley Logan 15:55  We didn't have any paid sponsors. We didn't have local vendors coming through. We did not make anything bigger. Brad Crowell 16:01  We also didn't even know that that was what we should turn into. It was more like, initially, it was an excuse to not fly and drive across the country, and then it grew. And each tour became more complex. Lesley Logan 16:16  I think the Be It Action Item was like, don't over complicate something, just try the smallest version of the idea out that has the intentionality of what you want. We wanted to bring the community together, and we wanted to get across the country. And the original tours basically paid for the gas.Brad Crowell 16:32  Not even exaggerating, they paid for the gas. And the one hotel that we stayed at. Initially, that was the vision. It was literally like, how do we pay for gas? Oh, let's teach a class. Great. We made $200 on it, let's pay the gas.Lesley Logan 16:45  How do we make sure the holiday trip is a write off? Let's work a few to have, you, technically it's some work 50% of the trip, and then it's a write off. So make sure you talk to your accountant. But anyways, so my Be It Action Item is do the least complex version of the idea and see if you'd like it. Because each time we did the tour, we'd get from like Philly to Nashville in a night, that was insane we're like we're never doing that again. Lesley Logan 17:09  Like Texarkana or something weird. I remember that. Lesley Logan 17:11  Yes, and we've like 12 hours to get from Nashville to there. Brad Crowell 17:14  We drove 14 hours in one day. That was brutal. Lesley Logan 17:17  Yeah, that was brutal, because we had to teach so, so we learned from by making it not complex, we actually got to learn a lot more. That's really helped us. You'll hear about how the tours have changed. What's your Be It Action Item?Brad Crowell 17:28  Okay. So my Be It Action Item, with that, I was gonna say take messy action but I mean, that's, we're pretty famous for that. I think that persistency, you know, like we didn't know the studio owners that we were trying to teach at? It wasn't like we were calling our friends in random cities and being like, hey, can we teach there? We started just reaching out to people and saying here's what our idea is. Is this of interest to you? And it was because we were persistent that we even found a location. Because I remember it was like, No. It was like, oh, okay, all right. Well, I guess this is the wrong location. No problem. We'll find another. Because for us, we knew, okay, this is the right stop, you know, this is approximately when we would want to be stopping driving for the day, when we should be teaching somewhere near here. How do we find a spot? You know, and working backwards, there's some logic there. But also we still have to find the people. We still have to meet the people, and then we have to be creative with the marketing. I remember at first we were like, We don't know anybody in Libertyville, Ohio. How can we, you know, connect with people, or Strongsville, Ohio, sorry, yeah, you're right. And I remember we started using Instagram hashtags to just hunt down Pilates people in the area and just leave it in voice notes, like. Lesley Logan 18:45  That was very, we were very persistent. You're correct, very persistent. And then I think, just to tack onto that, and then we'll wrap this up, because we'll tell you more on the next episode, not being afraid of rejection. One of the things we had to do was, like, you're gonna have stops turn you away. Like, no, I don't want to do that. We had people go, why are you doing that? They were like, really sketchy about us. Brad Crowell 19:04  We just had it happen yesterday with our eighth tour coming up, where someone you know was like, actually, this is the wrong time of the year for my clients. So no, he's like, oh, okay. Lesley Logan 19:14  It's not personal,. All right, loves. Well, stay tuned for how these tours have gotten to be bigger and even better and better for you, and better for my sleep and all those things in our next episode. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 19:29  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 19:31  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

How to Be a Multiplying Disciple:  Seek pleasing results, not pleasing methods “When do you plan on moving?  How long have you lived at this address?  Where did you move from?  How did you happen to pick this area?  If you were to move, where would you go next?  And when would that be?”  In the middle of the great recession and housing collapse of 2008, I clung to this sales script as if it were straight from the Bible.  I had only been selling real estate for two years when the real estate market collapsed.  In order to survive, I looked around for some way to list and sell houses in one of the worst markets on record.  I had a wife and three kids in elementary and middle school.  I had a mortgage and I had just bought a brand new Chevy Suburban.  I saw an advertisement for a real estate sales conference held in Las Vegas taught by a man named Mike Ferry.  Mike made Donald Trump appear humble, but he guaranteed that anyone who followed his methods would sell in any market. I put the conference on a credit card and listened for three days as he expounded on how to sell homes.  I came back with the confidence that if I just put into practice what he taught, I could keep my head above water and sell homes.  One technique he promoted was direct sales or door knocking.  This is a method that most realtors avoid at all costs.  However, desperation drove me on.  Nearly every morning I would knock on fifty to one hundred doors and recite the script Mike had provided.  Amazingly, it worked.  I started finding people who were thinking about selling their homes.  One lady said, “Yes, I need to sell my house immediately.  I called another realtor, but they never called me back!  Come right in.”  I listed and sold her home.  I found another couple that wanted to sell their home and then called my brother who was looking to buy in that same neighborhood.  He lives there to this day.    It wasn't easy, but I was able to support my family on straight commission sales (I only earned money if I actually sold a house), build a new house and support the newborn church we had just planted in Ashland, Oregon. Why would I do something so uncomfortable?  I was new, unknown, untested and had few relationships in the community.  I didn't have time to build a relationship network in time to feed my family.  Desperation drove me to embrace unpleasant methods.  The result, however, was pleasant results. If you desire to multiply disciples for Christ, you have to ask yourself the question, “Do I want pleasant methods or pleasant results?”  I talk to many disciples who sincerely want to save souls, bear fruit and help people to know God.  They've been praying for years to find someone open, but they remain barren.  The problem is they are praying for pleasant results while using pleasant methods.  They aren't running to win.  Look at what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. All disciples are running the Christian race, but not all are running to win.  They have a false expectation that even if I don't beat my body and make it my slave, I can still win the race.  Paul understood that only those willing to crucify themselves would see the kind of life-giving results that most disciples pray for.  When we were living in Japan, my wife, Pam, got sick of not saving souls.  She made a decision to start sharing with 100 people a day for seven days.  I was shocked.  Pam is a highly relational disciple.  She had never done anything like that before.  I joined her in the challenge.  During that week, she met a woman who got baptized within a couple of months.  She was the wife of professional baseball player in Japan.  Pam chose to prioritize pleasing results over pleasing methods.  Did she wake up every day, thinking “Yes!  I get to share with 100 people today!”?  No.  I certainly didn't.  But in one week, she changed her entire situation.  Last year, I decided to help out campus ministry recover from Covid.  It had shrunk from twenty-plus disciples to three.  I decided to simply go out and go sharing along with the few students.  It wasn't easy inviting people to church who were 35 years younger.  One day I met a man named Hudson on campus.  He was a freshman.  We studied the gospel together and he got baptized.  The campus grew from three to 13 in one school year.  I had to ask myself the question, do I want pleasing methods or pleasing results?  I am pleased with the results.  God blessed the willingness to crucify ego and pride.  If you want to save souls, you will have to decide to run to win, pay the price and practice methods that aren't pleasant at times.  It starts with: ·         Inviting people you don't know ·         Sharing your faith every day ·         Keeping invitation cards with you ·         Bringing people to church ·         Following up with people you've met  ·         Share with the first person you meet that day ·         Set a goal for how many people you will invite over the next 30 or 90 days Saving souls is not a mystery.  It takes a run to win attitude.  It demands that you desire pleasing results over pleasing methods.  Take a look at your life right now.  If you aren't multiplying disciples what's your priority. Practical application: ·         Set a sharing goal for the next seven days ·         Schedule a time to go sharing with another disciple in the next three days ·         Challenge yourself to practice an unpleasant method to accomplish a pleasant outcome

Authorities have officially charged Don Steven McDougal with capital murder in connection to the tragic death of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, who had been missing since Thursday, Feb. 15. McDougal, who was already in custody on an unrelated aggravated assault charge, now faces the serious allegations related to the young girl's disappearance and death. The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed McDougal's charges, specifying that he is accused of capital murder of a person aged between 10 and 15 years old. This development comes after crews found Audrii's body on Tuesday, prompting officials to declare the search area a crime scene near US-59 and the Trinity River Bridge in Livingston, Texas. During an emotional press conference, Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons expressed his condolences to the community following the tragic discovery of Audrii's body. Details regarding the condition of her body have not been disclosed, pending an autopsy by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. "We believe there is enough evidence," Lyons said during Tuesday's press conference. Audrii's disappearance had sparked a widespread search effort, with McDougal initially identified as a person of interest before being labeled as a suspect. Authorities revealed that McDougal had admitted to leaving the house with Audrii on the morning she vanished but refused to disclose further details about their whereabouts. Newly obtained criminal records show McDougal was indicted on attempted indecency with a child nearly 17 years ago in Brazoria County, which, according to legal analyst Anthony Osso Jr., would have required him to register as a sex offender. However, McDougal pleaded down to child enticement in 2008. The charge does not require sex offender registration. According to records, on March 31, 2007, McDougal "attempted to remove (a child's) pants after getting in bed with her." According to online records, McDougal has a criminal history that goes back two decades and includes more than a dozen arrests. Additionally, information from a mechanic shop near Highway 59 in Livingston suggests McDougal acted suspiciously when Audrii disappeared. Workers at the shop said that McDougal was there trying to get a part for his blue Chevy Suburban, adding that he was filthy, covered in dirt, and acting suspiciously. Despite cooperating with investigators and leading them to various locations, including where Audrii's backpack was found, McDougal had not confessed to any involvement in her disappearance at the time of his arrest on the unrelated aggravated assault charge. The community of Livingston gathered for a private prayer vigil to mourn Audrii's passing, emphasizing her loss's impact on the tight-knit town. Elizabeth Kobes, a member of the community, described Audrii as "really important" and lamented the heartbreaking nature of the situation. As McDougal remains in custody at the Polk County Jail, authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Audrii's death, determined to bring justice to her and her grieving loved ones.

Jennifer Dulos and Fotis Dulos marry in 2004. Thirteen years later the marriage fails and the couple file for divorce. The circumstances are anything but amiable. Hundreds of motions are filed during the two-year proceedings.  In 2017 Jennifer Dulos files for an emergency order for full custody of their five children.  She alleges that her husband 's behavior is "irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling. She says she is afraid for not only her safety, but the physical and emotional well-being of the children. Moving forward to the Friday before Memorial Day,  Jennifer Dulos drops her children off at school near her New Canaan Connecticut home.  She had an 11 a.m. appointment, which she missed. No one hears from her for 10 hours.  That night, Jennifer Dulos is reported missing by her family and friends, and the search begins.  When investigators arrive at Jennifer Dulos' home,  blood stains are visible not only on the garage floor, but garbage cans and a car parked in the garage. The car in the garage was not the Chevy Suburban the mom was known to drive. Police initiated a search for her vehicle. A little over an hour later,  and just three miles from the home, officers find the abandoned Suburban by Waveny Park. It contains blood evidence too. Back at the home, investigators determined someone had tried to clean the concrete floor.    Officers canvassed the park, handed out fliers, used canines and aerial searches. And most dramatically,  video searches of local CCTV cameras. Surveillance cameras capture a man appearing to be Fotis Dulos disposing of garbage bags in as many as 30 receptacles in the area.  A woman can be seen in the passenger seat of the man's car.  Police recover clothes and household items with Jennifer Dulos' blood on it in trash cans around Hartford. Specifically, the bags contained women's clothing, plastic zip-ties and a white T-shirt – all stained.    police also found a stained utility knife, a bath towel, and cleaning items such as a kitchen sponge. The woman in the vehicle with Fotis Dulos is identified as his live-in girlfriend Michelle Troconis. Police search warrants say Michelle Troconis identified photos of the surveillance videos as Fotis Dulos, and admitted that she was the woman pictured. She confirmed multiple stops were made to discard bags, but she denies knowing what was in them.  Fotis Dulos and Troconis, 44, are arrested, charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution. They both pleaded not guilty.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Mark Sherman - Managing Partner of Mark Sherman Law, www.markshermanlaw.com   Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski -Forensic Psychologist, Author: Darksides", darksides.podia.com YouTube: Dr. Jeff Kieliszewski, Forensic Psychologist   Robin Dreeke - Behavior Expert & former FBI Special Agent / Chief of the FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Author: "Sizing People Up: A Veteran FBI Agents Manual for Behavior Prediction", peopleformula.com, Twitter: @rdreeke  Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Lecturer: University of Texas Austin and Texas Christian University Medical School Jeff Gentry  - Forensics-Certified bloodstain pattern analyst and ABMDI registered death investigator, Author: A Visual Guide to Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: Bloodstain Pattern Analysis for Death and Crime Scene Investigators & "Death Investigation: Information to Obtain During a Forensic Death Investigation  TikTok: @jeffreygentryBPA, Facebook: /Jeff Gentry Bloodstain Pattern Analyst  Jen Smith - Chief Reporter for DailyMail.com, Twitter: @jen_e_smith   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode we talk with Ben Welch who drive his Chevy Suburban one million miles with the help of Conklin Oil products and Andrew Frick president of Ford Blue bragging and rightfully so about Ford F-Series truck sales.

Ben Welch blames himself for driving his 1994 Chevy Suburban when he shouldn't have. He knew his van well except for one momentary lapse when the engine warnings were more serious than he thought. It was a long time ago and the vehicle has fared well regardless — it surpassed one million miles on the odometer without any engine overhauls. Welch, a Vietnam veteran who has lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, since 1962, is our guest this week on The Weekly Driver Podcast. Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia talk with Welch about his 30-year ownership of his Suburban and his vast experiences driving the vehicle an average of about 33,000 miles per year. Welch, according to information provided by a public relations representative, had driven the Suburban about 400,000 miles before the serpentine belt broke during a long road trip, causing the engine to overheat. The vehicle, of course, was damaged but it "survived," which Welch attributes to only using American-made Conklin lubrication products in his Suburban. He also cites Randy Bloom, his long-time mechanic and friend, for providing great expertise while working on the Suburban. Welch is now an independent distributor for Conklin. When Welch bought the Suburban he planned to retain ownership for about a year and drive it for 35,000 miles trading it in for the next model year's offering. But he didn't like the 1995 Suburban's appearance and some of its features. He kept his original purchase and just kept driving it. Please join Bruce and me as we learn more about the million-mile Suburban.

The latest data from Forrester's 2023 Youth Survey indicates a slight decline in TikTok's weekly usage among teens, dropping from 69% in 2022 to 68% in 2023. This suggests a potential levelling off of TikTok's popularity among teenagers, with competitors like Instagram's Reels and YouTube's Shorts gaining traction.

In this episode we talk with SWAT Supervisor, Sergeant Brian Diebold, a man described by many as a tactical genius. A man who isn't afraid of anything… except joining us on the podcast. Tune in to find out what he reveals about his long and varied career – and then tell us what he's leaving out! After years of kicking in doors and catching murderers, Brian is now the guy who has to stay back by the Command Bus while his SWAT studs make entry. That's hard for a man who has made more door entries than all of his current SWAT team combined. With a long litany of career-related injuries maybe he was almost ready to slow down… but his sudden promotion to sergeant took him from tackling bad guys to a desk job overnight. Funny, we still never see Brian behind a desk. Meet the guy who made the Chevy Suburban cool, and find out if SWAT is going to accept the bold challenge that Lieutenant Freddie Hayes and the Corrections Response Team threw down.Email us your questions and suggestions at lets56@pcsonet.comFollow us: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTubePCSO Website

1:[0:01] For the first time in over 20 years, hip fans had to wait longer than two years for new material. It was three years after we got World Container that Bob Rock came down from the mountain with the Stone Tablet Masters of what appeared to be a campfire album called We Are TheSame. Although it launched with a cool promo, the hip, performing live at the bathhouse, beamed to cineplex theaters across Canada, and it debuted at number one, I have absolutely no memoryof this album entering the zeitgeist. In fact, I could tell you that only Love Is a First made it to my ears before the Fully and Completely podcast. My first full listen of this album was followed by a visit to the grocery store where I bumped into my co-host Greg, and I remember us casually throwing around terms like milk toast andbeige when describing what we were getting into with this springtime release. What followed though is something amazing and it's something only music can truly do. [1:05] You see, I gave this album its due and by that I mean a good solid listening session. On walks, at my desk, on my patio, the beige started to turn into a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes. The album was making me feel nostalgic for my 1977 El Camino. I could envision loading up the back of this hog with camping gear and taking this record to the cottage for the May long and listening to nothing but. Yes, I had become a fan of We Are The Same. Today it's an album I reach for when I feel wistful and I want to reminisce with my past. I adore Morning Moon and the Depression Suite, but the deeper cuts do it for me too. Will the love that Pete and Tim felt on the Bob Rock produced World Container spill over onto this record, or will their first experience be like mine? We're here now, so we may as well be getting hip to the hip. Track 4:[2:31] Hey it's JD here and welcome back to Getting Hip to the Hip. I'm here every week with my friends Pete and Tim and what we do is we talk about the Tragically Hip one album at a time week over week trying to understand what it's like to hear thisband for the first time again. Pete, Tim, How the fuck are you guys doing? Ola, como estas? Buenas tardes. Bueno, bueno, bueno. Los fanes de Tragically Hip. That's how they would say it here. I'm not culturally appropriating. That's how people talk here in Spain. In Spanish, you mean? Yeah, yeah. And they wouldn't change the name of Tragically Hip. hip, they would just say tragically hip, just like they say. See, see, see. Cloud, cloud, or cloud, or cloud. I don't know where he's went to, but there was a guy on Facebook. He's in the Facebook group. And his name is Luca Tadia, I believe. And he's Italian. And he discovered the hip out of, he's an Italian, he's in a band. He's a singer-songwriter. [3:47] And he was at a really low point. And he discovered the hip. And he, he really feels so strongly about them that he's rewritten, rewritten. [3:59] The lyrics like transcribe, like not transcribe them. What word am I looking for? Translated them, but in many cases he's had to write his own because there's so many turns of phrase he's, he's having to write like his own sort of stuff, but, but to fit in the melodicstructure and then, you know, he, he alters the melodic structure a little bit, but he's released a whole whack and he's coming out with a record and everything, but I haven't seen, I haven'tseen anything about him in a while. So what a fucking surface, Luca, come back to it. I'll point out, I'll send some stuff to the thread later this week, but, um, I'm getting way, uh, way caught up in the weeds here because we're here to talk about a record we're here to talkabout, we are the same, uh, released in 2009, which interesting tidbit. This is the first time that a hip band had had to wait more than two years for a record since the band emerged in 1987. They had to wait three years. So it was 2006, then 2009. Was that the longest three years of hip's lives? Or what was going on during that time? I'm guessing the diehards were losing their minds. Yeah. Are they breaking up? What's going on? Like, Gord was doing solo stuff. Rob Baker was doing Stripper's Union in 2005. So he might have toured Stripper's Union in 2006. [5:22] I don't know, they did their usual stuff, but they, like, to my... [5:28] To my knowledge, they, I mean, the record still opened at number one, um, for the week that it was released, which was consistent with what the hip had been doing. I think they had eight in a row or something like that, but they just weren't part of the zeitgeist, you know, they weren't part of, or maybe it's just, they weren't part of my zeitgeist. That, that might be it. Uh, they, they might've been, but, but I feel like if they were as big as they were in 96 in 2009, then they would have never fell off my radar, sort of. And it wasn't that they fell off my radar. They, I just started listening to other music. I just, you know, I- Were you aware of their whole, their whole bathhouse performance at the end or before the release? Like they played at the bathhouse to, they played a show? I would have lost my, like, I would have lost my mind. So I, yeah, I don't, I don't know. [6:24] It was just out of my reference point. Yeah, so I read that they played at the Bathhouse and it was screened, I guess, at Cineplex Theatres across Canada. It's like, these guys were, you know, celebrating for sure. Do you know what Cineplex Theatres owns? One of the things they own is a branch of places called the Rec Room. And one of the Rec Rooms is in Toronto, where we're going to be hosting our event. And we hope you all make it. Get out of fucking town. Wait, what's this event? What are we doing? [6:59] Come on be on board I hate the pull it out game That's gonna be a fun night. I just can't wait. That's gonna be a real fun. Oh, don't lie Jay Jay D Your pull-out game is great. [7:15] Oh my gosh He's got like 12 pockets on his outfit right now he's pulling shit out of her. Oh man. Yeah, I know, the event's going to be great, tickets are selling through, so get themwhile you can. Hit them quick. Get more information on our Twitter feed or send any of us an email, JD, Pete, Tim at gettinghiptothehip.com you can do all of that and more. So let's get into this Bob Rock produced record. This one's recorded entirely at The Bath House, which is a stark contrast from World Container, which was recorded at a big studio in Vancouver and a relatively large studio in Toronto. This was now The Hip on their own ground. I feel like as a result of that we get a very different sounding record. It's got like the nuances the nooks and crannies that the bathhouse records are sort of becoming famous for but it's still like holy shit is this record produced. Like it is depending on what side of the fence you're on it's either intricate or too busy you know like in terms of some of the arrangements. [8:34] The general, I don't know, gist of it that I was kind of reading about is a little bit of a love-hate. I don't know. I also read that that extra year they're waiting for Bob Rock to returnfrom a carnival cruise. Like a really extended long carnival cruise. Oh, wow. That's boggers. That's my joke right there. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, I got that, it took me a second. Yeah, me too. Sorry. We'll dial it in, we'll dial it in in post. I'll test my new editing tools on that one. Punch up the laughter. Okay. No, I really, I read a bit about this album. It is very much highly produced. I feel like it's, the all music reviews, three stars. Yeah. Which is lower, you know, by at least half a point than usual. And one term they used about it was a creative bankruptcy. Like, they pulled out all the stops. All of the stops for this album and tapped the tank. So I thought that was a pretty fucking harsh review. That's very harsh. Considering three years, man. Yeah, no, no, don't be sorry. I just, I don't see that it's, it's, yeah. [9:59] I like this. I like this record. I'll tell you guys. I didn't. The first time I heard it, did not. So I was the same. Yeah, yeah. Let's hear about your experience listening to the record. I was kind of the same. I listened to it. Well, I listened to parts of it. I couldn't sit through it all thefirst try. It was like, I don't know, it was like reading a series of books and getting to the next book and it's like, oh my gosh, this book's going to take me forever. That's what it just felt like to me and finally got through it. I'll say finally. [10:32] And wasn't so sure, but you know there were songs, I'll just say that there were songs that grew on me after repeat listens and I and I got to a point where I thought I could see howhip fans either embraced the whole trajectory of the hip and continued to absolutely love this band and I could see how some hip fans were like Like, what the fuck? When are we going to get this Bob Brock guy out of here? Yeah. Because, I mean, I feel like that's still, I don't know, still a thread going through it. So yeah, that was my take. Listened to it kind of everywhere. [11:11] I just, I gave this album some real attempts. But I listened to it also, I think, less than other albums in general. Okay. Pete? You know, I say we get into it cause I got a lot to say about the, you know, the record as we go. And I'll leave my comments to the record as we move on. Okay, well then kick us off here. Let's start right out with Morning Moon. I mean, I thought it was, I thought it was, let's see. It definitely a different tone to begin the record on with the acoustic vibe, the melody was really cool. I was surprised by the strings, but as we'll talk about as we go on here, the strings become a thing. Hey, that's a good way of putting it, Tim. [12:12] There's a really cool country lick with the electric guitar, I like it. Chorus is catchy, heavy harmonies, twangy guitar. I got some, I got some like a little bit of Eagles vibes on this too. Sure. Clearly hear it. My note that I, my note I wrote down was, it's got an AM radio chorus. Yeah. Yeah, totally, totally. But, but. In a good way. Yeah, in a good way. But I wasn't like, I wasn't like, ah, ah, fuck. This is, yeah. I mean, this is not... [12:49] This is not music at work. This does not grab you by the balls and punch you in the face and then throw you down the fucking hill. It doesn't do that. [13:02] Not to say that I want that, but yeah, interesting start. That's all I'll say. Track one. We'll go there. We'll talk about Bob Rock as we keep going. Oh, Bobby, I thought, you know, this is an interesting start as well. It's got this country rock ballad, you know, it's like, are we jumping into a good condition 90s Chevy Suburban driving through Nashville in this one, like heading to the barbecue place? I don't know. But it also felt like, you know, I was listening through and I also thought this is so singable and it's kind of lovely and it's balladish and And it feels a little country. There's slide guitar. There's some, I don't know, cello or something that comes in. There's strings happening. And then I thought, I could rewrite the lyrics of this song and play it for anybody, and they would like it. I could actually turn this into a country music song. Or you could turn it into, dare I say, a Christian rock song. It just felt really mainstream, stream kickoff song to this album. It was like beautiful. Yeah, it's beautiful. And I like dug it, but it felt like programmed, I felt kind of programmed. [14:26] I would never suggest rewriting Gord Downie lyrics. I agree. But the music merited a feeling of, this could be a song played on different types of radio stations. It just, yeah. I wanted, you know, the kickoff on an album for me, it's got to be gripping. And it puts you in the seat. And you put on your seat belt. And you go. And this one was like, OK, what's number two? [14:56] Which, before we get into number two, honey, please, which, from each of you, song would you have used to kick off the record if you were sequencing the record? Is there a song on there that does that, that throws you down the hill, or grabs you by the throat? I know which one I would not, out of all of them, but I'll take it. It's a good question, but to be honest with you, I feel like this record, there are songs on. There's even notes that I'll say when we get into other songs. I feel like there's songs that don't belong in this record. Gotcha. Yeah, it's hard to say. I mean, they kicked it off the way they kicked it off. And I think it's, you know, you can't argue with what's been done. And I can't make their fucking decisions. But yeah. Yeah, I don't know. That's a tough question. It's a good question, but I can't answer it, JD. All right, honey, please. Oof. Here's another one I thought that kind of had this R.E.M. feel. I have East Street Band written down. OK. I also had. The beginning just reminds me of that piano lick at the beginning. Just reminds me of Springsteen. [16:08] It just feels like it's going into a Springsteen song. OK. This one, it somehow made me think of the band Big Country. I think they were, where were they from? Were they Scottish? I don't know. It just, Gord comes in softly, you know, I kind of felt like, oh, I wonder if they do this one live and he's angrier. Like it just, it just, I felt like there was a shift that wasn't in this song. Like it just felt like a great radio song, but at the same time. It was also playing in the ceiling speaker system when I was in Vancouver, BC getting my teeth cleaned. You know, like it just, it was really, it like, it was like I couldn't figure out what it was. It was that, or it was almost a wedding song. Like I couldn't figure out what this song was supposed to be. I just, it just kind of stumped me. It was good and sing along and everything, but it was also like, where are we going? I know, it's hard. This is that song, this might be the album that got kicked in the balls at the show on September 1st. Somebody might just walk up and kick me in the balls. Oh, there are big fans of this record. This might be that album. I'm wearing a cup, dude. [17:33] On Amazon, like, no fucking way. I'm wearing a mouth guard. I'm wearing a wig and I'm going to have like a voice modifier on my throat. I can just set you guys up behind the screen like so nobody can see you. You know, one of those things like silhouette. The old cage. You remember like watching fucking Roadhouse where the band played behind like a fucking like a chain link fence. And that band was? Jeff Healy and the... Fuck, Jeff Healy and the... I can't remember the band. I would have just said Jeff Healy band. Fucking shadow puppets. Here's my shadow puppets, Pete and Tim. Jesus Christ, man. Great fucking man, though. You know, we've been drinking the Kool-Aid and sometimes you get a little gherpie from, you know, too much Kool-Aid. I think that's just kind of... It's funny you say that, Tim, because I'm reading my notes for this song and it's... And honey, please... You've got gherpie written down. No, no, it didn't matter. This is my complete notes on this song. Heavy production. Producer is really mixing the Kool-Aid here. [18:44] Even how the drums are mixed, I mean, I just, I could not, I could not listen to this fucking song enough to even see, like, I just was like, yeah, dentist's office. I'm at, I'm at a fucking Sears or, or I'm at a Hallmark store and I'm just like, what the fuck, man? I just want to get out of here so I can put on fucking Black Sabbath or the, or fucking, or fully and completely in my fucking car. Like I just, Christ, excuse my language, but yeah, it justwas not taken, not taken. The, the, I'll just, there's more, but the, the, you're right about the drum mixing because there were a couple times where I was like, there's nothing wrong with this drummer. Why are we doing what we're doing here? Oh, it was like fucking the right tom went from the right ear to the left ear and then the kicks going back. I'm like, what the fuck are we doing? Why? Like, just give me the fucking drums. I don't need a ping pong set in my ears. It was just too much. I hear you on the E Street Band JD, but yeah, other than that, could not, oh, yeah, that's all I got. That's all I got. you. [20:05] J.D. we need to rerecord the start and you're going to be like, this is where I lost my friendship with Pete Dibb. And they were banned from the roof of the United States. No entry. No entry. [20:22] The first time I sat down and listened to the record was for Fully and Completely, the podcast. By the way, Pete, it's Fully Completely. Fully and Completely was our podcast. Whoa, easy, JD. Okay, now you're cut. Okay, all right. Mr. Details. This is episode... He's gotten our back. This is like, I mean, we got one record after two records. I s

mething. I don't know. There's some sentiment in there. [35:33] Drums felt kind of simple, and then everything kind of thickens up, and there's big solos in here. It's over a six-minute song, So it's building us up in song length. I mean, this is a long song for the hip. [35:52] What else did I have in my notes here? Oh, there is, you know... Sorry, I have to read this real quick. You know, the importance of this one is just how it is all about the reference of the residential school system. We actually watched a kind of docudrama film about the residential school system up there and all the government's policies towards First Nations people. And that's some heavy, heavy stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's just the song, let's see, I read the song is a response to this basically a cool you've apologized. Oh no, no, this was a Gord quote, I believe. Cool you've apologized, but nothing has really changed. The damage has been done. People are still suffering as a direct result of the government's policies. You know, that's, it's, it's not an apology song, but it's sort of. This one's just big. It's just a big song. Another one. [37:06] Yeah, before I speak about the song, I'm going to go back to one thing I said in the previous pod. I really wish to God Gorda was alive today, because I feel like the governments of the world, specifically the United States government and the Canadian government are just fucking itspeople in so many ways. Not making this a political thing, but like, Absolutely, I just I feel like that guy is a guy who would speak out and and you know, it's funny because I remember watching like video ofTrudeau when he died and Saying what a great guy he was and him actually tearing up but thinking like god, man I wonder if Gord hadn't died and what he'd be saying about some of theshit going. Yeah, no doubt the war or, you know, anything that happened during COVID, all that shit. I just really, you know, that guy is an important voice for the people in Canada. And I think, I don't know, I say North America, although there's not a lot of Americans that know the hip, but I sure shit do now. So, but getting back to the song, I liked this one. I, Tim, I certainly felt the same vibe. acoustic guitar in the beginning sounds extremely dated so that's where I think you got the vibe. [38:28] There's a lot of chorus and a lot of reverb it's just like way too like is this is this 1991? 92? It sounded like the same guitar tone on the song More Than Words by Xtreme. It just but strumming instead of that Like it just was too much. That being said, again, the strings come in, but there's a lot more of that on this fucking record. Rob Baker kind of saves the day. Solo starts coming in. The hit is great. The chorus is awesome. I love it there's some really cool arpeggios that are done in the second verse that just mix up the the sound of the song and then Rob Baker's solo it I Mean, I don't know dude. I'm willing to think he's probably the biggest fucking Pink Floyd fan in all I thought the same thing! That motherfucker, it's just fucking David Gilmour. I mean, I'm like, is Gilmour playing on this fucking record or is it Rob Baker? I mean, it's not even like, if you heard it, you'd be like, oh yeah, it's David Gilmour playing guitar. Like, no, it's actually Rob Baker, which is cool. I like it. And then Paul Amois doing like a Beatles thing, like with the guitar, like bouncing back and forth. [39:57] But in the end, I felt like this song had literally, I don't wanna miss a thing, Aerosmith, Armageddon vibes. Like it was produced to that level. Like it was good. Cinematic. But it was just, yeah, like, whoa, like, did I see this on the IMAX? I've got to listen to this song in IMAX. Yeah, to really appreciate it. Oh my gosh. I had the Pink Floyd reference, not so much of the guitar playing, but more as the all-encompassing feel of this album and the journeys throughout it, because it felt like it was trying to belike this massive Floyd production. That's one thought I had relating to the Floyd. [40:44] But the song, it made me wonder. This is where I dove into the story a little bit more. I wanted to know who Honey Watson was. Did you find out who Honey Watson is? Anybody? The reference here. So Gord apparently was watching a CBAE, CBC news story about the residential schools and started to write this song about it. And then the news story shifted to some story in Haiti and the news correspondent's name was Connie Watson. And he heard it as Honey Watson. And he thought that was funny, so he incorporated her name, Connie Watson, as Honey Watson into the song. Just thought it was cool and wrote it down. So he's like going through this really heavy topic, like one of. [41:36] Canada's maybe, you know, top three heaviest topics, residential school system. And he's throwing in these funny little, I thought they said, honey, Watson, her name's Connie Watson. I'm going to put this in this fucked up story, you know, it's like, God damn what this guy can do. And Pete, I completely agree with you. We, we, if I could choose, of course, any of us to have Gord still around. Yes. But we also need the band. Like, this is something I kind of want to save to the end, but of the whole, all of our experience, but like, we don't have art in the form of music that isscreaming about issues going on right now and making people angry. We don't have like, I can't name a band right now that has death threats against it from groups of idiots. [42:31] You know, I just don't know, like, there's a lot of- Hang tight, Tim. Our record comes out in December. Yeah, there we go. I was just going to say, there's a lot of, there's a lot, there are many lesser known, but on the rise, you know, kind of post-punk stuff coming out or going on, you know, like there's a lot. I agree with you though, man. There's just like, there's no- There's no mainstream people out there who are really screaming about issues going on around the world and ruffling feathers. [43:07] Like so much. Where's the song War Pigs, dude? Fuck, I've second time I've mentioned Sabbath during this fucking podcast. But like, where's the song War Pigs? Right now. Right now. It's on my hard drive. Back off. Hey, no, but like, I mean, I mean, here we are. [43:27] You know sending Billions of dollars to fund war all around the world and where the fucking dude, you know what? Um, there's a great fucking tiktok or whatever the fuck it is And it's some guy like i've seen it. Don't pretend like you don't tiktok all the time. No, I don't I don't have it But I wish I did um for that purpose, but there's a guy's Sitting in his car. He actually has his own account. Yeah. Look it up at pete. Um, it's all about his hair No, dude, there's a fucking guy sitting in his car and he's just like, you know, you guys in your punk bands and you were young, you were fighting against thesystem. [44:06] But somewhere you got old and you got fucking soft and you joined a party and it dude, he just fucking nails it. This guy fucking nails it. Wow. He fucking nails it. And it's like when I see shit like people like Henry fucking Rollins, like supporting the Democratic Party, which is like, fuck the Republicans, fuck the Democrats, fuck them all. Your job is to be against the system. You fuck. Excuse my language, but it's just like that's yeah, that's how I feel like, like a guy like Gord had. I don't know. The interviews I've seen with him and so much integrity, he wouldn't waffle. He'd tell he'd call a fucking spade a spade when he saw it. And if he smelled bullshit, he'd call it out no matter who it was. I don't know. That's how I feel, man. And yeah, you're right, Tim. We need the band. We need the band. We do. We need the band. Because the music's... Because not everybody watches the news and not everybody watches interviews. You hear music, though, man. You hear fucking War Pigs and you listen to those lyrics and you think, yeah, Smedley Butler was right. If you don't know who Smedley Butler is, listeners, Google him. He's not either. No, he's dead, but he wrote a good book. War is a wreck. Anyhow, too soon yet. He's been dead a while. It's a depression suit. [54:35] I had no idea what I was getting in store for when the song started, right? I mean, I was in the car and the display in my mediocre sound system, M-S-S. Clearly not my sound system. Fucking premium audio shit. My stock sound system. Anyways, on my screen it doesn't show the amount of time the song is. It just shows the amount of time it's been playing. And I just kept looking over. Like, I'm driving across town and I keep looking over. Like, god damn, how long is this song gonna go? The last song was like six minutes plus, right? Is this one a rock opera? Like, what is going on? It has this lovely start, but you really don't know where it's going. [55:26] The lyrics, I just, I was a little bit confused. The first listen, I thought we were really going to end around three and a half minutes, because that's when I was looking over. But we just kept evolving. It shifts gears, it speeds up, it gets more intense. Gord gets more loud. The strings get more loud. It just like, it's really climbing up this mountain. [55:50] And you know, part of the lyrics is, is what if the song does nothing? What is it doing? You know, what if the song does nothing? In one of the reviews of the song, which I later read, some of the hip fans who aren't as much into this album, they, you know, their, their response of what if the song does nothing waslike, yeah, what if it's not doing anything, you know, it's just confusion maybe? I don't know. Some fans were were like, no, I don't want to see how it ends because Gord's lyrics kind of ask for that. There's this, um... Kind of painful guitar solo at like eight minute mark. I mean the strings that loop and have this abrupt stop it's just this song is... It just goes. I've only listened to it three times I will listen to it again but the song to me was just... I just wonder what everybody was trying to do because it just was magnanimous. [56:59] It's giant. All right. Well, I will say I fucking love this. I thought I thought it was fucking magnificent. I think, you know, I finally with all the strings that are on this record was like, OK, I can dig them on this song. You know, I mean, it's a very, this is a very emotional record. It sounds like just lyrically, I don't feel like any of the first five songs really moved me that way. But there's a lot of musical references that he makes in here to like things like perfectfifths. The chorus is fucking amazing. When he starts warming up his voice, when he really starts digging his fucking heels in and he starts repeating, if this song does nothing, with the strings backing him up, I think are superpowerful. [58:03] They move me in this song, especially I listen to this song a lot in the car. I've talked about it once or twice, but, you know, it's a different experience when you listen to a song, when you listen to hip in my car or any music but you know I have a, The soundsystems, you know, it came with premium, but it's it's you know, it's it's a good It's a good audio system in my car. Frothy and quiet. Pete's premium sound system There's When the strings there's a cool syncopated rhythm that happens in the song and then when it when it breaks There's a part, because this is twodifferent songs, it's like 9 minutes and 27 seconds long and when this song breaks and it changes course, there's a part in it that is Alice Cooper's Only Women Bleed. Has anybody heard that song before? Yeah, sure have. It's that, it's fucking that, fucking it's the hook in that song they fucking use. And Gord's vocals are exactly that. [59:16] He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all. That's the lyric in the Alice Cooper tune. But it's fucking, I dig it. And then, you know, I liked Rob Baker's solo. It was very emotional. This is a really emotional tune. And I don't feel like I'm like, ah, this is fucking amazing. I just think it's, it clearly took a ton of work and a ton of work. Yeah. But I do feel like the band starts to come together on this track. You start hearing, okay, this seems more tragically hip than before. [59:58] So anyway, that's what I got for this tune. They played this, they played the song live 86 times. Like I wanted to look that up to see, like did they play it 10 times, six times? Theyplayed it 86 times. That's like not a ton compared to all the shows they played in their entirety, but that's a handful of times at this. Well, considering it's a later album, I mean, obviously they played the earlier ones more. Yeah. So to experience it and to know it and experience it live was probably fucking epic. Yeah, but who knows if it was with the strings too. [1:00:35] Yeah, I don't think they toured with strings for sure. Okay, okay. If you're playing like Royal Albert Hall or something, yeah, you're gonna have fucking strings, but like, youknow, otherwise... That didn't happen for sure, JD. [1:00:48] I don't remember. I don't remember that being... Like, this would have been around the time in their career that that would have been something that you might expect them to do. You know, like, we're going to do a tour with a full orchestra to get different venues on board and, you know, things like that. Bands do that kind of shit. The Cineplex Theater video. Would have been perfect for this record. Yeah, that Sinplex Theater air didn't include all the Strings people or whomever, do you know? Was that just the band? I can't imagine it would have. I'll try to find that. Yeah, if you know, send me an email, jd.gettinghiptothehip.com. That would be really cool. But let's go to the exact feeling. I didn't have a whole lot on this one. I felt like it had the DNA more, a little more so, of a hip song. Like a standout was the wah pedal going on and kind of this faint background guitar playing fade out at the end like I Honestly didn't have a whole lot not many exact feelings of this oneNot that I didn't like it. It just felt like a filler spot to me. I just kept rolling. Okay. I Yeah, okay. There. This song is the one that starts with the Castagnets, so very Spanish. Yeah. They wrote it for me. [1:02:15] I like the rolling melody, like the chord progression, the way they do it is really cool. It just it drops and then it comes back, it drops and it's very circular. The chorus is fucking amazing on this song. And the way it builds to the chorus is like, it definitely has more of a hip vibe. Like I said last time, I feel like they really start to like becomethe hip again. It's like, whoa, who's that other fucking band the first four songs or whatever, you know? And now there's like, okay, we're warmed up now, fellas, sit back and relax and enjoy. So I dug it. But then, you know, it just kind of doesn't know where to go, fades out. Tim doesn't like fade outs. the time I don't. Yeah, sometimes they're okay. Yeah, in this case, I just feel like the song was really cool. They had some cool ideas, and then there was nowhere to really go. They painted themselves into a corner and we're just like, okay, we're just going to stop painting the room. [1:03:18] You know, but yeah, but I got I got stuff to say about the next song. Yeah, go. Let's go. Queen of the Furrows. I love the beginning. I thought it was fucking awesome. This song is fucking Led Zeppelin three. It is Led Zeppelin three. I think Rob Baker's playing the mandolin. I don't know if Gord is. I don't know who's playing the mandolin. Would love to get some get a line on that. If you know anything, Pete at getting it at the hip.com. You like what you see what I did there? That was that was very professional. Did it sound natural? My boys all growed up. [1:03:57] I dug this song. The way the fucking chorus, the way the chorus comes in is like, it's just so different from the song, which is not very Led Zeppelin 3 because it's so heavy. It's fucking rad. And then the solo by Rob Baker, I'm going to read notes for Vadim here, Rob Baker melts dicks off people. He doesn't even melt your face, he melts your dick. I mean, this solo is fucking screams. It's so good. You can just tell he's in the zone and he could hear that he wanted to play that solo and he just wanted to fucking destroy it. And he just did. He delivered, I don't know if he did that in one take or if they mixed different solos together to make that, but it just sounds so good, dude. Goddamn, it's so good. I love it. Good song, good tune. Good tune. I'll pretty much agree with that. You know, it's one, I'm not going to add much to what Pete just put in, but what I did want to know what, you know, what this queen of the furrows is. And, um, it's actually a crown awarded annually to quote an agriculturally-minded young woman of Ontario. [1:05:23] And I'll just show you guys real quick. This is Kieran County Queen of the Furrow 2020 as part of Ontario's Plowman's Association. Can you see? Oh, yeah. What do you think? She's nice, you know, it's so to give everybody You know some insight into that photo. I would say she's dressed like a like you would think she'd be wearing overalls or something likethat, but she's dressed like a beauty queen. She's got a lovely dress on. She's got a sash and a tiara that looks, you know, like, that looks all beautiful and like prom queenie. Not at all what I would have expected the Queen of the Furrows to look like. Which for real... Not at all what I expected the Plowman's Association to be doing. Easy, Tim! Easy! But I didn't know, furrows is the word for the lines, you know. That's right. In the farm from the machines planting seeds or doing whatever you do. I mean, now I know when I'm sitting in the window seat on Alaska Airlines, covering the West Coast as I do. [1:06:37] I thought the guitar solo, it hearkened me back to some GNR. That's all I'll say about that. Certainly. this I guess just lastly the ending had this noisy but kind of quiet background guitar feedback something like there was something something playfulhappening with some guitar noise and the congos like this was one of those interesting enders but but kind of a cool song. Speed River. So, Speed River, I was like, ah, okay, I'm kind of digging this one. This felt a little more like what I was hearkening back to, Liking of the Hip. This was a single. Yep, yep. This has, again, a big guitar solo, which quiets down into keys and some rim shots from drumsticks happening. [1:07:34] This house sounds like a bomb hit it is a fucking cool lyric. I didn't know if that was referencing the feeling of recording and just being in the zone. This is what I was imagining, just being in the zone of the music just feeling so good with yourbandmates. You know, this house feels like a fucking bomb hit it because we are destroying with this music. But this song is kind of cool. a little more, I don't know, a little more fun in an easilysingable way. You know, it has a somewhat fitting, abrupt ender to it. It might have been... At first glance, it was like, this might be my song on the album. I'm not sure. Don't give it away, buddy. I didn't. I left it hanging a little. All right. He said it might. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I stand corrected. Speed River. I'd love to agree with Tim, because I love agreeing with him, but the tonal licks were cool. [1:08:45] Overall, though, not impressed. I feel like this song was written to play live. I mean, literally, they wrote it and were like, yeah, we don't care how this fucking sounds on the record. It's just gonna be a fucking banger to play live. Yeah, I'm sure it was great live. How many times did they play it there, Tim? Let's look. It was probably like a- Oh, I thought you had it pulled up hard. I do. It's just on, I got it right here. It probably was awesome, you know, to play like the fifth song of a show just to keep the crowd going. It was played 11. This was played 11 tim

Special Guest Sam Smith joins the Curmudgeons in this episode! Not the singer, but the best writer in the automotive business. Sam also has his own podcast on the Hagerty Podcast Network called "Driven To Fail." This inspires Jason to bring up all the times Sam "failed" while at Automobile Magazine. Jason and Sam both started their careers at Automobile Magazine at 2006, working with the brilliant, talented, and wonderful Jean Jennings. And Sam had a rocky start — immediately recognized as one of the best writers in the business, but crashed a lot of cars. There were Camry Dents, tire blowouts in a Mk5 GTI, a crunched Lotus Elise, and a Ford GT spun into a culvert.  There exist no photos of those accidents, but Jason does have an old video of his Ann Arbor steep-driveway tire test: a Range Rover Sport on summer tires vs a GMC Acadia on all-seasons versus a Chevy Suburban on winters. The results are amazing.

We started the show with the daily buzz question.   Five vehicles rented by the U.S. Secret Service caught fire at the Nantucket Memorial Airport during President Joe Biden's Thanksgiving break. The five vehicles were all different types, Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition and Jeep Gladiator. The Ford Expedition did have a recall on it for the connections to the battery, indicating that fires have been caused by the problem.   Tony Botti joins the show to give us an update on the search for Ulysses Carr. Carr was last seen around 8:00 am on November 25, 2022 near the 3500 block of West Muscat Ave. Carr is described as black, male, 5'6”, 160 lbs., with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and gray “Croc” shoes. No clothing or shoe prints have been left behind. Carr's Dog returned home from their walk, but Carr didn't. Ulysses has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.   If you have any tips contact: 559-600-3111  In proposed settlements announced in conjunction with actions brought by State Attorneys General, the Federal Trade Commission alleges that Google and iHeartMedia aired nearly 29,000 ads featuring iHeart radio personalities touting their positive personal experiences with Google's Pixel 4 phone when the purported endorsers hadn't used the product. The state settlements impose a total of $9.4 million in financial penalties. Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York announced settlements with Google and iHeartMedia. Texas has also settled with iHeartMedia.  The former warden of an abuse-plagued federal women's prison known as the “rape club” went on trial Monday. Ray J.

And that's what we're doing today, Lord. We know that your word, it's spirit breathed. It's breathed out by the living God. So Holy Spirit, you wrote these scriptures and we pray today, you come and put your search light of illumination upon them and help us understand these scriptures and help us fall in love with this theology so much so that the theology takes root and goes from our mind into our heart and transforms us.Lord, you have called us to live a life of obedience, of faith. We're saved by grace through faith for works. And those works are the fruit that you call us to bear. And I pray that you continue to teach us to abide in Christ, abide in the vine, to be connected with Him, to remain in Him so that when we're by ourselves and there's no one there, and if Satan comes and there's attacks and temptation and accusation, we know who's we are and we know that we are connected to you. We're holding on to you with everything we have. And we pray Holy Spirit, come down a teach us and give us a zeal and a passion for your words, zeal and a passion for your gospel.And if there's anyone who's not a Christian today, Lord, today, remove the hardness on their heart. Give them ears to hear, remove the spirit of stupor. Help them realize their great need for forgiveness. If you are a holy God, a mighty God, an awesome God, and we are just sinners and we ask that you forgive and draw into your family. Lord, bless our time in the holy scriptures. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.The title of the sermon is Chosen, Not Special. And this is important because St. Paul wants us to know that we're saved by grace through faith and that God has predestined us to salvation before the foundation of the world. But it's not because anything in us, it's all God, it's all grace. He gets all the glory. At the end of Romans eight, Paul has been explaining the gospel, explaining the effulgent glory of God in the gospel, a lavish grace of God. And as he reflects in Romans eight, his heart is stirred so much so that he gives us one of the greatest, one of the grandest doxologies in all of scripture. That's Romans 8:37 through 39."Knowing all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."But then in the very next chapter, in the very next verse, when contemplating the present condition of his own people, the Jewish people, Paul loves them, his mood darkens dramatically. And he says in Romans 9:1, "I'm speaking the truth in Christ. I'm not lying. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart." For whom? For these people that don't know Christ. Jesus Christ was Jewish. He comes to the Jewish people, he says, "Hey, I'm God, everything in the Old Testament, everything points to me. Everything points to me. He comes to His own and His own received Him not." So Paul goes from the heights of joy to the depth of despair at the very thought of his people being abandoned by God.And then in Romans nine through 11, he explains, no God hasn't completely finally abandoned the people of Israel. No, He has great plans for them and He will draw many of them to salvation Jesus Christ. So as he explains all of that in Romans 11, all of a sudden again he's in doxological praise in Romans 11:33 through 35. "Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways. For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid." So he goes from the height of doxology to the depth of despair back to the height of doxology all within three chapters. But what brings him back, what brings him back? What brings him back is that, in Romans 11:26 he says, "All Israel will be saved."What does that mean? Well, this is what the chapter is about. This is what we're talking through today. He does use the imagery of grafting. I don't want to explain the grafting to you. You can find it on YouTube. I had a gentleman come to me at the end of the service, he's from Chile, he was here for two weeks for training. He's an agricultural engineer. And he said, "Everything you said is true." He said, "We do this all the time." He said "On my farm, when we see the crop isn't doing well, we break off branches that aren't bearing fruit. And we go and we find another branch and we graft it in just to make it more fruitful." And I said, "Praise be to God. The Lord gave me an illustration." So you can study up on the agricultural side. I'm going to give you the theological side today. So we're in Romans 11:16 through 36. Would you look at a text with me?"If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.' That is true, they were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God; severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree. Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers; a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved as it is written, the Deliverer will come from Zion, and he will banish ungodliness from Jacob; and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins. As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too now have been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive mercy.For God has consigned all to disobedience, that He may have mercy on all. Oh, the depth and the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable are His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor? Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen.Praise be to God. This is the reading of God's holy, inerrant, infallible, authoritative word. May He write these eternal truths upon our hearts. What a text, three points to frame up our time. First, do not become proud, but fear. That's verses 16 through 24. Second, the time to come in is running out. So come in. That's verses 25 to 32. And finally, our God is an awesome God. That's verses 33 to 36. First, do not become proud but fear. And I mentioned this last week and the last couple weeks. He's basically talking about grace swinging as a pendulum. So grace comes to Israel, the chosen people of God. Jesus comes to Israel full of grace and truth. Israel, as a whole, rejected Jesus. They crucified their own Messiah. And then Jesus comes back from the dead and he gives this message to go and preach the gospel to his disciples who are Jewish.So the disciples have this grace, have this message, they're preaching it. And who comes to faith? It's the Gentiles come into faith in droves. So Paul says Israel had the pendulum of grace, it swings back to the Gentiles and at some point it's going to swing back in a special way to the Jewish people. Just to set the context, Romans 11:14 through 15. "In order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead." Paul says in his ministry to the Gentiles, he wants to magnify it because he's doing the same thing God's doing. God is drawing Gentiles to himself in a miraculous way so that the Jewish people look at the Gentiles receiving grace and get provoked with envy, with jealousy and say, "How is it that they are enjoying a relationship with God and we are not?" And Paul says there will come a time when they will accept. God is going to send a special move in the spirit where the Jewish people en mass, are going to accept the gospel.And he says with their acceptance, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead. And this imagery he's using is, he looks at Israel and he says Israel, Jewish people, he says there's no spiritual vitality, and he's using language from Ezekiel. This is Ezekiel 37 where it says, "The hand of the Lord was upon me and He brought me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down the middle of the valley. It was full of bones and He led me around among them and behold there were very many on the surface of the valley and behold they were very dry. And He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' And I answered, 'Oh Lord God, you know.' Then He said to me, 'Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'Oh dry bones, hear the word of the Lord, thus says the Lord God to these bones, behold, I will cause breath to enter you and you shall live and I will lay sinews upon you and will cause flesh to come upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live. And you shall know that I am the Lord.'"He has this incredible vision to the prophet of Ezekiel and he shows that just bones, the bones are the people of God. And he says, You, Ezekiel, a man of God, prophesy, speak God's word over these bones and watch the sphere of God take the word of God and apply it to dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead corpses, bones. And He speaks and they come to life. And this is just a picture of what will happen, what does happen with Gentiles, what does happen now with every single one of us. We hear the word of God and that's how people are converted. And in the same way as he's been saying in Romans 10, we are called to preach the gospel and we're called to preach a gospel in such a way where we believe that as we speak the gospel, as we explain who God is, that he's holy, that we're sinners, that Jesus is the only way. As we explain, we have to believe that Jesus Christ is going to draw people to himself by the power of the spirit. There will come incredible life. That's what He's promising.In Romans 11:16, he continues the argument. "If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches." He's mixing metaphors. That's what Paul does. There's first fruits, there's lumps and there's the root and the branches. But basically the idea is, he says the first fruits that were brought to the temple, at the harvest, you get the first fruit, the best fruit, you bring it to the Lord. And what happens is, as you give that to the Lord, the rest of your crop is consecrated to God because you have given him the first fruits. That's really the idea. What he's saying is because there is a true remnant in Israel, the first Jews, they've already come to faith. This was people at the time of St. Paul preaching Jewish people coming to faith, Gentiles coming to faith.He's saying since the remnant the true Israel is coming to faith, that's proof that national Israel, the rest of the dough one day will be reckoned as holy. And then he switches the metaphor back to the olive tree and branches and presses the olive tree metaphor in verse 17. "If some of the branches were broken off and you, although a wild olive shoot were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree." He's saying this is the same metaphor that Jesus used in John 15. Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the bridges. Whoever doesn't bear fruit shall be broken off and tossed into the fire." And in the same way he says the Jewish people thought that they were connected to the vine just by virtue of their birth, by virtue of their race, of their genealogy.He says, "No, the only way that we remain connected to Jesus Christ is by receiving his grace, repenting of sin, and being connected to him by faith." The broken off branches here are disobedient, apostate Jewish people, the ones who stumbled and were cut off from the promises of God. He uses this analogy of the olive tree because Jesus uses this one. God uses it to explain his relationship with the people of Israel. He chooses the olive tree because the olive tree is interesting in that it's one of the most durable trees. The roots go deep. The trees can live for three to 400 years. It's a symbol of strength and durability. But he's saying that the olive tree grows in particular in a place where you wouldn't expect anything to grow. But because the root is Jesus, because the root is divine, then there can be life when we're connected to Christ. The branches were broken off to Jewish people.But Paul says, you, the chosen Gentiles, verse 18, "Do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root but the root that supports you." This is really what he wants us to understand. Hey, if you understand the gospel of election that God saved you. Before the foundation of the world, your name is written in the Book of Life, never, ever, ever, ever allow pride to enter your heart because of this. God shows you not because of anything special in you. So how could Paul be any more graphic? He says, Remember who you are. Remember the grace of God that brought you in. The root is Christ, the branch is Israel. And the grafted olive shoot is the Gentiles. And what keeps Gentiles connected to the root? It's grace, it's faith in God.Romans 11, 19 through 22, "Then you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.' That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Note then the kindness and severity of God; severity to those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off." Saying make sure, make sure that you are truly connected. Christian, make sure that you are truly elect. Confirm your election, confirm it by abiding in Jesus Christ. Confirm it by believing. You stand fast through faith. That is your responsibility in the chapters about election, God's great election, plans before the foundation of the world. He does give us a job to do. There's a responsibility. You stand firm in the faith.One of the great things and one of great purposes, objectives that we have at Mosaic is teaching you how to, teaching everyone, how to abide in Jesus Christ. Teaching you to have a one-on-one relationship with Christ. Teaching you how to have a relationship with Christ without a mediator, with no one in between you and the Lord, where you and the Lord have a relationship that's vibrant and full of vitality without someone in the middle. Because if you got someone in the middle, then God's just a friend of a friend. I want to get myself out of the way between you and Jesus. I'll just give one illustration.I've got four daughters, praise be to God. My youngest is Milana, she's five, she's a kindergartner. And Milana has been really excited about the fact that we purchased a new vehicle and I purchased this vehicle, I was praying for a long time. Lord, send us a vehicle because we were in a Toyota Highlander with third row that barely fit anyone. And if you know anything about girls, if they're not comfortable, they let you know about it. And I've got five of them. So I prayed about a vehicle. And the other thing is, I've been in the city for 13 years, everything's cramped. And I'm like, you know what, the Lord won't let me live in a suburb. So what's a vehicle that's the closest to feeling like you live in the suburbs? So I got a Chevy Suburban, it's tremendous. Tinted windows and black rims. I got it salvaged, so it was in a flood. So I've got an illustration for next week in Romans 12. But what I'm saying, Milana wanted me to drive her to school because she's like, "Dad, all my friends, are going to think I'm cool", because I pull up like a Fed and just let her out.And so I'm going to the back and we're going to the car. And then as we're about to get in the, there's a garbage, it's Tuesday, the garbage truck, it's pulling into my complex and we're not getting out. So then we're going around the building and she's like, "Dad, at least I can hold your hand." We're going to school. She's so sweet. And the way she holds my hand, she grabs my thumb. So we're walking and then as we go around our building, there's trees and there's a fence and there's a clearance of about six inches. So we're not going through together. And I stop. I said, "Milana, you got to let go of my thumb. You got to go first and you just got to go by yourself."That's what we try to do at Mosaic. There comes a point in your life where it's just you and God. Mom and dad aren't there, your friends aren't there. Your community group isn't there, it's just you and the Lord and you have a decision to make. Am I going to stand firm in faith? Am I going to stand in the faith? That's what abiding means. That's what we try to teach, to abide in the Lord. No one's forcing you to read the Bible. You open the Bible. No one's forcing you to pray. No one's forcing you to worship, no one's forcing you to share the gospel, but you do it because you're standing fast through faith. And I want you to notice that standing fast through faith is contrasted with being proud. He says, don't be proud. There's nothing in you. But pride is what gets in the way of seeing God for who He is. Pride gets in the way of saving faith.Most people today, they're not Christians, not because there's not information, information's out there. Any questions you have that are in the way of you receiving Christ as Lord and Savior, the answers are out there. We can help you with that. But what really gets in the way is the pride, pride of, am I going to submit to the God of the universe and that that's part of salvation, with the humility of repenting of sin. And he says, Look, you, Gentiles, beware. God is good to you. God is kind to you and we celebrate that. But there is also a severity of God, that God is an all-consuming fire, that for some people, God for all of eternity will be severe. And he says, you need to be aware of that. Make sure that you are not cut off. Make sure that you truly are connected to the Lord.Notice in verses 23 and 24, Paul clearly anticipates a dramatic reversal of Israel's present condition of being cut off from the messianic route. Verse 23. "And even they, the Jewish people, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in. For God has the power to graft them in again. For if they were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree." God has the power to graft Jewish people in again if they do not continue in their unbelief. So in the future, when this move of God comes, and by the way, I think the move of God is already happening because if you look at the stats of how many Jewish people, how many people have converted from Judaism to Christianity in the past 50 years, it's higher than it's ever been in the past 2000 years.So what he's saying here is, in the end times, God is going to draw up Jewish people like never before, but they're going to be drawn in the same exact way. Nothing that we do is going to change when this happens. It's not like we become more Jewish. He says it's all about faith. It's all about faith. You got to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. If the root is capable of sustaining wild olive trees, then when a natural branch comes back, obviously, it can be grafted in naturally. Hosea 14 is alluded to here, Hosea 14:1 and four through six. God talking to Israel says, "Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. I will heal their apostasy. I will love them freely for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily. He will take root like the trees of Lebanon. His shoot shall spread out. His beauty shall be like the olive and his fragrance like Lebanon."So that's good news. But the time to come in is running out. Verse 25. "Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers. A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of Gentiles has come in." So he's talking about this partial hardening where God has closed off the hearts of many of the Jewish people as a consequence for their rejection of Jesus Christ. But there's going to be a change in the situation. And what's that change connected to? It's connected to the fullness of Gentiles coming in. Coming into what? Coming into the family of God, the household of God, being grafted into the vine. That's what he's saying. So he's saying the number of Gentiles, the elect number of gentiles, that number is already decided by God and with each passing day, that number is diminished. It's getting closer to being closed off.So the idea here is, there will come a time when it's too late to trust in Jesus Christ. We know this. We know this from the text. We know this from the fact that we're all going to die. There will come a time when any and every one of us, we will die. So we must be ready. We must be ready to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ even today. This is a change situation, he's talking about in verse 26. "And in this way, all Israel will be saved." What does he mean by all Israel will be saved? Well, what he means is the same thing he's been explaining in Romans nine through 11, the remnant elect. God is going to save a number, we don't know how many, of ethnic Jewish people.And by all, he means all of the elect that God has chosen. "The Deliverer will come from Zion." He's talking about Jesus. "And He will banish ungodliness from Jacob." You see how active that is? He's just banishing the ungodliness. It's almost as if they had no choice. He just comes in. His fear is going to come in, banish ungodliness and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sin. So since Israel is presently hardened toward their Messiah because of unbelief, what changes their situation is that God is going to bring in Gentiles and the fullness of Gentiles, once it comes in, it's almost as if the door closes to the Gentiles. And then God brings in the Jewish people in a powerful way. And the salvation of ethnic Israel is the beginning of the end.We must know that. When we start seeing Jewish people coming to faith in droves, in significant numbers, we need to know this is the beginning of the end. And this interpretation comports with Jesus' words in Luke 21:24. It says, "They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." Once the times the Gentiles are fulfilled, God removes Israel's present hardness of heart and the nation will at long last return to their Messiah. So what do we do? God does that, but what's our job? Our job is to stand to the faith and our job is to preach the gospel, with faith, praying, God, remove hardness. God, remove hardness, please, God. In particular, the Jewish people.And as we're looking at Romans 11 and talking about Jewish people coming to faith and their messiah, Jesus Christ, I just find it uncanny. And I just want to point out that we are sitting in a synagogue. This is a synagogue and we're sitting here on a Sunday, Temple Ohabei Shalom, and we're talking about Jesus Christ, the Messiah. I do not think it's an accident that we're here. I think God has positioned us in a place like Boston where there there's a large Jewish community and we worship in a temple. I think it's a great opportunity for us to proactively share the gospel with our Jewish friends and neighbors.And as I was preaching this morning, a brother came up to me, he's like, "Bro, we're so ahead of you." I was like, "What?" He's like, "Yeah, we do sleepovers with our kids on Saturday nights." He said, "One condition. We'll only let you sleep over our house if you go to church with us on Sunday." I was like, "That's brilliant." And then he says, "And the Jewish kids, they always say, 'Yeah, but we're Jewish.'" And then he's trained his Christian kids to say, "Yeah, but we meet in the synagogue." So they cancel each other out and then you can continue a conversation, because if you tried to share the gospel with Jewish people around here, that's exactly ... You shared your gospel, and they're like, "I'm Jewish." And then we're like, "So is Jesus." And then they're like, "But I go to synagogue." And I'm like, "So do we." And they're like, "I'm busy on Saturdays." "Great, because we go to church on Sundays", and that's it. And you just continue the conversation. By then they're like, "All right, fine, I'll get saved."That's what we believe, but I think we're already seeing it. There are people like Jewish descent coming to faith at Mosaic. We're seeing it. We want more of it. And what I'm telling you is, you should be emboldened, dear Christians, to share the gospel. You know the Jewish scriptures probably a thousand times better than any Jewish person that you, like secular Jewish people around. It's because they don't know their own scriptures. So if you are Jewish and you're like, "You know what, that's offensive that I don't know my scriptures." Good, you should be offended. Read your own scriptures, read the Hebrew scriptures and then keep going and learn about Jesus.Romans 11:28. "As regards to gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they're beloved for the sake of their forefathers, for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." He says that the people that God has elected salvation, they will come to salvation. If God has promised the gift of salvation to one of the elect, those gifts are irrevocable because God can't take his gifts back. The supreme gift that he's talking about is the gift of salvation, the gift of grace, the gift of mercy. And God will never, under any circumstances, revoke that gift. If you are truly in Christ, if you're truly a child of God, if you're truly connected to Jesus Christ, he's saying that gift is irrevocable and he continues in verse 30, 31. "Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you, they also may now receive mercy."So God gives the gifts of his word to Israel. They become disobedient. Through their disobedience, the Gentiles receive mercy and then through the Gentiles mercy, through the Gentiles preaching the gospel to Jewish people, they will receive mercy as well. Verse 32. "For God has consigned all to disobedience that He may have mercy on all." What's he talking about? He's talked about this in Romans five, that in Adam we all stand condemned, but God will have mercy on those who are in Christ, the root, when both the wild branches and the natural branches, Gentiles, Israel crafted back in. As Paul realized is what he's saying, as Paul realizes what the Holy Spirit is writing through him, that God will send a powerful move for the Holy Spirit and draw many of His kinsmen into Himself. At the end, Paul has spent three chapters thinking about all of these incredible themes, all he can do is worship. That's how he concludes.And this is point three. Our God is an awesome God. Paul follows his extraordinary affirmation of everything he just said. He follows it up with a sigh, a holy groan, if you will. And you're like, Where's the holy groan? It's in the word, in the very next verse, verse 33. Oh. O-H. But it's right there in the Greek. It's like, oh. It's a holy groan where he's like, I can't even, I can't help myself. All I can do is just worship God. It just flies out of him. "Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!Pastor Andy Davis was here today. He's a good friend and a mentor and he is a pastor in North Carolina. He was here today and he said you could preach three sermons through this one verse and you can. There's so much in this text, in verses 33 through 36. Reading between lines, you see that Paul's heart is filled with love for God, worship for God, and he wants to glorify God. And this is the point of all true theology. We want you to learn theology at Mosaic. We teach theology, but we never want theology to stay just in the mind. That is just useless in the mind.Theology, true theology, has to go from the mind and the roots have to go deep into the heart. That's the only way you will be transformed. And the first lesson of systematic theology deals with the fact that you will never completely know God. You'll never comprehend God 100%. And hopefully Romans nine through 11 has already shown you that. No, God is incomprehensible. The fullness of the essence of God's glory so far transcends human ability to understand. All it can do is stand in awe of God. Well, God reveals what we can grasp, but it's only to a certain degree. There's dimensions to God, there's levels to understanding God. God is infinite and we are finite creatures. Even after you spend 10,000 years in heaven, fear saying, even when we are no longer looking through the glass darkly but basking in the glory of God, even then you will never have an exhaustive knowledge of God.Eternity isn't long enough for creatures to completely, comprehensively understand Creator. Never in this world or the next will we be able to grasp God completely. So we're left where we worship. His judgments are unsearchable, therefore we need the spirit of God to lumen God's word and make God's word intelligible to us. Romans 11:34. "For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor?" No one's fully known the mind of the Lord, his mind is absolutely perfect. There's no folly in his mind. His mind is a treasure store of wisdom. And God doesn't need us to counsel Him. Sometimes we try to, in our prayers. We try to inform God. We try to tell God how He should change His plan. Lord, I've got some advice for you, please. And God just laughs at us. No. No one can. You can't. What do you mean, counsel him?Romans 11:35. "Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid?" No, you can't give Him anything. You can't get Him to owe you anything. That's not how it works. Romans 11:36. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things to Him be glory forever. Amen." In this single verse, we find the sum and the substance of the whole biblical revelation of the being and character of God. In these three succinct prepositions, from, through, and to Him are all things. This verse is so chockfull of spiritual power. I'm telling you, meditate on, chew over this verse all week. "From Him and through Him and to Him are all things." He's the ultimate source of everything. From Him comes everything. So meaning, nothing that happens, nothing that happens, occurs outside of the sovereign will of God.So every single thing that happens is in some sense from Him, all the good and all the bad. And if you walk with the Lord, you will know that there comes seasons of trial and tribulation and pain and suffering. And you, dear Christian, you go back to this verse and you say, from Him are all things. From Him. All the good and the bad. This is Job. Job says, God, you've given me, you've taken. Praise be the name of the Lord. From Him are all things. Truth, beauty, goodness, but also suffering, also pruning, also transformation through the gospel. From Him are all things. Through Him are all things. This is Colossians 1:15 through 17. He, Christ, is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him, all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things. And in Him all things hold together."Through him are all things. All things that come to pass in this world ultimately come to pass through the sovereign agency of God Himself. From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things. The word to indicates the purpose toward which everything is moving. What is the purpose? Where is everything going? What is the goal of the universe? What is the ultimate purpose of all history? In a word, the answer is God. He's the alpha and He is the omega. He's the beginning and He's the end. He's the source. And all things are moving in history and in the universe to fulfill the purpose of God.So where are we left, verse 36. "For from Him and through Him and to Him and all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen." Glory. In the Hebrew, it's the word kavod, which means weightiness, significance, value, gravitas. God's glory is so transcendent and it is so singularly transcendent no one can possess any glory in a similar magnitude. God reveals his glory in the Old Testament through the shekinah cloud. And the shekinah cloud is so excellent in its brilliance that the human beings have to shield their eyes from this glory lest they go blind. And that's just the outward manifestation of the glory of God, of the eternal inward dignity of God. In Romans 21 and 22, this is how holy scripture ends and talks about a holy city descending, coming down out of heaven. And strangely, it is described as a place where the sun does not shine. There are no candles, there's no moon, there's no artificial source of light. And you would think that such a place would just be dark, perpetual darkness.No. The author of Revelation tells us there's no need of a sun or artificial light. Why? Because the glory of God, the very radiance of His son bathes the holy city in perpetual light. It's the glow from the very face of God. The manifestation of His glory illuminates every single square inch of the kingdom of heaven. And the light of the glory of God is never extinguished. That's why the apostle says to him, "Be glory forever." The glory of God begins in eternity, will continue for eternity. And when we come into His presence to worship him, the only appropriate response is reverence and awe, and humility and submission. Why? Why? Because this glorious God of inscrutable judgments, unsearchable ways, this glory, from Him through Him, to Him, just this glorious God who created everything. He humbled Himself to the point where He becomes a baby.The infinite breaks into the finite, the eternal breaks into the temporal. God comes and He lives with us. He becomes a baby. He comes into all of our garbage, all of our trash, just all of our sin and brokenness, this whole mess. And He comes and He lives and He lives this perfect life that He then offers up as a sacrifice. God, the Father, take my life, not theirs. He goes to the cross, this great God, glorious God on the cross. He's being crucified after being mocked and scourged. He's being crucified. And He says, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." They were clearly guilty. He says, "Forgive them." Lord, Lord Jesus. What are you doing on the cross? You created everything. Lord, why don't you just kill everybody? No, no, no. The only way that these people could be saved, the only way that any one of us can be saved is through Jesus Christ dying on the cross for our sins. Only He can bear the full weight of the wrath of God, the son of God, the son of man, fully God fully man.Only He can stand in the gap between us and God. He is the only mediator. So look to the cross, dear friend, repent of your sin. Trust in Jesus Christ. He came back from the dead. Now He's reigning and He's ruling and He will come back and He will judge and then it will be too late. So if you're not a Christian today, we ask that you cry out to the Lord from the depth of your soul. Cry out, Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sins. Lord, have mercy on me. I'm a wicked, a great sinner. And the very moment you do that from the bottom of your heart, you're saved. You're saved. You're welcome to the fold of God.Your eternity is secure. Your name is written in heaven. And once you're in the family, you know what we tell you? We say your name is written in heaven before the foundation of the world, so don't get proud. Stand fast through faith and fear, because we worship an awesome God. Lord God, we pray to you. It's all we can do. We thank you and we take this text, Lord, and we marvel at it. We marvel at your glory. We marvel at your goodness to us. We know that we deserve a severity, but you offer us a goodness because of your son, Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, we thank you that you are amongst us through the preaching of your word. And we thank you, Holy Spirit, that you're with us today. I pray, Holy Spirit, stir us right now to worship you with everything we got, to worship you in spirit and in truth. And I pray if there's anyone who's still not sure of where they stand with you, I pray today that they will not leave this place without making sure. They will talk to someone or they pray to you and cry out and beg you for mercy. Lord, bless our time as we worship you and pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

The 2022 Chevrolet Suburban makes me want a bigger garage. Because it's a bigger than full-size SUV.  Great for large families and one of the largest non-commercial vehicles on the road. it's huge inside, versatile, and available with almost every conceivable option.  Either from the factory or aftermarket. For example, it's hard to imagine a motorcade that doesn't include at least one Suburban. And Chevy Suburban is the original sport utility vehicle.  With the first one rolling out of the factory in 1935. ⇒ Martin Chevrolet is iDriveSoCal's Chevy Dealer Top-3: 2022 Chevrolet Suburban Technology Versatility Interior New For 2022 Chevrolet Suburban New for the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban includes lots of available options across trims.

The 2021 Chevy Suburban is one of the latest additions to our testing fleet, and we give our first impressions on what it's like to drive this big SUV, both on the open road, as well as in urban environments. The subscription model is common with many services these days, yet is still fairly uncommon in the automotive world. However, recent announcements by Tesla and GM may change this, and could introduce the concept of charging a monthly fee for access to important safety features. We talk about how these programs will work, and why they might not be in the best interest of consumers. We also discuss the long-term reliability of turbos and direct-injection vehicles, the best way to store your winter or summer tires, and if a dealership might allow you to learn to drive a manual transmission with one of their vehicles (spoiler alert: probably not.)     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

The 2021 Chevy Suburban is one of the latest additions to our testing fleet, and we give our first impressions on what it’s like to drive this big SUV, both on the open road, as well as in urban environments. The subscription model is common with many services these days, yet is still fairly uncommon in the automotive world. However, recent announcements by Tesla and GM may change this, and could introduce the concept of charging a monthly fee for access to important safety features. We talk about how these programs will work, and why they might not be in the best interest of consumers.

2020 Chevrolet Suburban Review The 2020 Chevrolet Suburban is wrapping up its 11th generation.  That's right - 11! And, any given vehicle generation-cycle lasts around 6-years.  So quick math tells you that the Suburban has been around for 66-ish years - right?  Wrong. Because the first Chevrolet made with the Suburban name was in 1935!  So, that's 85-years and counting!  In fact, Chevy's Suburban is the longest-running nameplate in automotive history. And not only is Suburban rich with history but it's just a big fun vehicle to both drive and ride-in.  From families to heads-of-state to group prom dates Suburban has hauled them all for years. Arguably Suburban is the original 3-row SUV.  And that definitely holds true for 2020 because it seats up to 9! 2020 Chevy Suburban Top-3: Versatility Drive/ride Interior space So, when my pal Lewis Cook at Martin Chevrolet told me he had an extra I could test drive for this review I jumped at the chance. -->Continue reading or click play below to listen.

The Chevrolet Suburban is one of General Motors' most enduring triumphs — the longest-running nameplate in automotive history, to use the industry jargon, and the original SUV. In production since 1935, it's grown from an all-American family vehicle, perfect for loading up the kids and heading out into the country, into an 18-foot-long status symbol for VIPs — including titans of finance, A-list celebrities, politicians and the occasional drug lord. It's even the first vehicle to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While the Suburban used to be about suburbia, it isn't anymore. In this episode, we talk with Angie Schmitt, a journalist working on a book about the pedestrian safety crisis in the United States, about how the Suburban's rise foretold the modern SUV boom, and just how dangerous these land sharks can be.

Larry Snow with the Secure Transportation and Executive Protection News for Friday, May 25th, 2018.   In Vehicle News From the Huffington Post Man Discovers Handgun Impaled In Front Bumper Of Car This brings new meaning to the term “gunning your engine.” A driver on Interstate 5 in Washington state's South Puget Sound area discovered something shocking when he stopped for gas: a handgun lodged barrel-first in the front bumper. The driver was heading down the freeway when a black object came flying through the air and hit his Honda, according to a tweet from state trooper Guy Gill, a spokesman for that district. There didn't seem to be serious damage, so the driver thought nothing of it and drove another 18 miles before stopping for gas, Gill said.   And from Autoblog 2020 Chevy Suburban spy shots reveal a shocking suspension situation Hot on the heels of the announcement that the Suburban RST will get the engine it should have had in the first place – the 6.2-liter V8 – we have spy shots of the next Suburban and a glimpse of a major change underneath.

In Vehicle News From the Autoblog: 2019 Chevy Suburban RST Performance Package finally adds the big engine When Chevy introduced the RST trim level on the Tahoe and Suburban full-size SUVs, the Suburban was a little left-out when it came to the good stuff. Specifically, it wasn't available with the 6.2-liter V8 that could be added to the Tahoe RST. But that's been fixed this year with the 2019 Chevy Suburban RST Performance Package.   The ISDA will be bringing a full review of the 2019 Suburban and its handling characteristics. Read More   From Wired.Com FANCY NEW SUSPENSION COULD MAKE CAR RIDES A LOT SMOOTHER  ClearMotion, a Boston-based MIT spinoff company, is developing what it's calling a proactive suspension system, which goes a step further than the active suspension found on high-end cars. Those systems use hydraulics or electromagnetic fluids to soften or tauten the ride. ClearMotion uses small actuators that lift the wheel clean over bumps, describing other systems as playing defense, whereas it plays offense. That code works sort of like noise-canceling headphones, canceling out holes and bumps with a movement in the opposite direction: Accelerometers at each wheel sense an impact, then software triggers an electric motor to pump in hydraulic fluid to push or pull the wheel up or down.

Buying a car in Mexico: it’s one of the best ways to see the country and can be an immensely rewarding way to travel. Check Out All of Our Mexico Posts! This week’s guest has a lot of experience buying a car in Mexico, and she shares her experience here. Aimee and her husband sold everything and left to drive around Mexico with their two daughters, two dogs, and a cat. This is their story. There are lots of twists and turns, so listen in and learn from their mistakes! Buying a Car in Mexico Buying a car in Mexico and then driving around Mexico with two kids, two dogs, and one cat. That’s what Aimee Lynch and her husband Jason did. In fact, they’ve bought three cars in Mexico, and they’re still driving around Mexico right now. Today we talk about their adventurous road trip and lessons they’ve learned along the way. Jason and Aimee are from Iowa, far from any ocean. Then they decided to give Mexico a try and moved to Cozumel, right on the Caribbean Sea. At first, they lived without a car in Mexico. Instead, they lived out of their suitcases. But eventually, the kids wanted to try going to a local school and taxis or walking wasn’t a realistic option. That’s when they decided to buy a car in Mexico for the first time.   IN THIS EPISODE 02:36 Intro 03:11 Why Mexico? Why drive around Mexico? 7:01 Cars in Mexico 09:05 Mobile Mechanics 11:24 Re-Registering the Truck 15:07 Playa del Carmen, the Jeep & Pets 18:31 Leaving Playa del Carmen for Driving Around Mexico 27:51 San Miguel de Allende & Oaxaca 31:50 Car Insurance 35:08 Health Insurance 38:58 Car Maintenance 41:22 Tips for Driving in Mexico 44:57 Destinations 46:53 The Size of Mexico Paperwork: Buying a Car in Mexico Their first car was a beat-up old Blazer. It did the job and was all they needed to get around Cozumel with the kids. They were surprised to discover that paperwork for buying a car in Mexico was surprisingly simple. In fact, all the owner had to do was sign a paper saying that they give the car to you. Simple, right? Wrong. Soon they found out that buying a car in Mexico is a little more complicated than that. When they went to re-register the truck, they hired a lawyer to help with the paperwork. There they discovered that since they didn't have the original title, they technically couldn't drive the car or sell it. Nor could they replace the original title. As Aimee says in the podcast they chose an unusual solution: they gave the car to a local Mexican friend. They were planning to leave Cozumel for the mainland and in her words, they had got their money out of the Blazer, so it was time to move on. Buying a Car in Playa del Carmen Cozumel was a great place to start with their limited Spanish. However, Aimee says that if they wanted to truly immerse themselves in Spanish, they would have to head to the mainland. The Lynch family then moved to Playa del Carmen, where they bought a Jeep Cherokee. They loved the Jeep, but eventually, they decided to drive around the country. The Jeep was not big enough for their family, their pets and all of their stuff. It was time to buy a car in Mexico once more. Using the same Lawyer from Cozumel, they went to a local used car dealer and left with a Chevy Suburban. After some complications with the lawyer, they decided to deal directly with the dealership. The dealer told them to go ahead and proceed with their traveling plans, so Aimee's family left Playa del Carmen on a huge Mexico road trip. They drove from Playa del Carmen to Merida, and then out of the Yucatan Peninsula and up to Mexico City, Puebla, San Miguel de Allende and beyond. Then it was on to Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca before they decided that they wanted to slow down and possibly return to Cozumel for a while. Use a Lawyer When You Buy a Car in Mexico All along the way, they waited to hear that their paperwork was finished. Eventually, the car dealership told them that it couldn't be done and that they wanted to buy the car back from them...at a cheaper price. More details in the podcast. This is when Aimee and Jason realized that the lawyer was probably right. If you're going to buy a car in Mexico, she says, hire a lawyer and listen to them. Fortunately, they were able to work it out. They stood up to the dealership, who backed down and "suddenly became very nice," once they said that they would hire a lawyer again to help. Flying in, Buying a Car in Mexico & Driving the Country There's much more to the story of the Lynch's experience buying a car in Mexico. Make sure to listen to the podcast for the details. We discuss the paperwork you need to buy a car in Mexico and dealing with police at checkpoints. We talk about driving tips, and car insurance (spoiler alert: if you buy a car in Mexico, make sure to buy car insurance, too). Aimee talks about additional benefits of Mexican car insurance that you might not think of. Car Maintenance: Buying a Car in Mexico Buying a car in Mexico is quite cheap compared to the United States. So is car maintenance, although the methods might be different from what you're accustomed to. Aimee tells stories of mobile mechanics who bring the garage to you, and of unorthodox ways of getting a car started. Mexico Road Trip Destinations Once you buy a car in Mexico, where do you want to go? Aimee has some suggestions. She says that having a car in Playa del Carmen was great because it helps give you access to all the amazing cenotes nearby. We can agree that the Yucatan Peninsula is a great place to drive in Mexico. If we were to buy a car in Mexico and stay long-term, places like Merida and Tulum would be a great place to start. The roads are flat, straight and open. That was not the case for the road from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido, on the Pacific coast, she says. Google Maps said it would take six hours, but it took them 10. Full of sharp left-and-right switchbacks, they drove carsick at 20 miles an hour for what seemed like an eternity. Take our advice: go to Puerto Escondido — it's fantastic — but fly in. She also talked about driving in San Miguel de Allende, but more as a warning. They loved driving in Central Mexico, and San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful town. That said, the streets are quite narrow. We would agree. We love exploring San Miguel de Allende with kids, but driving on it's hilly, narrow cobblestone streets would be a headache. It reminds us of Toledo in Spain, actually). Conclusion: Buying a Car in Mexico Aimee and I discuss lots more than buying a car in Mexico, so listen in. If you want to buy a car in Mexico, she's the right person to talk to and it open to questions from listeners.
