Hello. Hello Geeks. Welcome to another episode of smack my pitch up, the podcast that reboots remakes, reimagines sequels side-quels and adapts some of your favorite and least favorite properties from film, television and what have you. And we've got a banger here on this episode for sure, and with me to discuss the remakes and reimaginings, my co-host Thandi. Good day. I thought about doing like an accent, I think, for the betterment of everyone involved. I'm not gonna try to do that. I've never been able to nail either the British or the Australian accent cause they bleeding to each other. Thandi: Yeah. You know, what's fun about doing an accent? For me specifically I'll lose it. I'll lose it almost immediately, and it will turn into whatever it'll turn into like something racist by the end of whatever impression I'm doing, Hobbit: It could be the whitest act. I can do like a Russian accent very poorly, where you're almost offended. I don't think I have Russian background, but like I'm white enough where it's like, no, he can he's allowed to do Russian accent. No. [00:01:00] It's almost offensive. So Thandi: You don't wanna get smacked by Putin. Nobody wants to get smacked by Putin. So Hobbit: get clobbered by his giant horse. Yeah. Let's avoid that if possible. Thandi: eat you with my pick. Yeah. Hobbit: So today we are talking about, Cult Classic for sure. A movie that has spawned to multiple sequels as well as a remake that's not really a remake, so much as a kinda re, re-engagement, a re-envisioning of yeah. Thandi: Yeah it's like, old Mad Max is, what do they call the Star Wars stuff that was made before the reboot, Hobbit: Oh, those are, Thandi: The Star Wars legends or whatever, all the novels and stuff. Yeah. Old Mad Max is Mad Max Legends and . This is like, you know, the new kids. This is, even though it's the same character, it's Hobbit: And what we are talking about is Mad Max the first Mad Max movie and the universe in general. I, guess, But the thing that's interesting about that though is starting with Fury Road, if they are going with Tom Hardy as, max from now on, if they're [00:02:00] restarting this universe it is interesting where they're starting as far as the distance away from Doomsday. Like every Mad Max movie gets a little bit further away from the fall of society. Thandi: Yeah, little. Road is like hundreds of years after, like Max is a Highlander or something Hobbit: Right. Thandi: by the time of Hobbit: And the the original director, he said that Max is really more there to be Way into a slice of life of that world at that time, you know, that Max does assist with stuff happening. But for the most part it's, we're just following him around on his adventures to see where the world is at this point in the decay. And it was interesting to revisit Mad Max after it's been years. I haven't seen it since Fury Road came out, I think. Thandi: I'd only ever seen it on tv. After watching this, I realized I'd only ever seen it as a TV edit. and it's a whole different experience. This is some good [00:03:00] schlock. I was actually surprised. It's really Hobbit: holds up well and you try to explain what happens and there's three important things that happen and that's it in like 90 minutes, but it's engaging the whole time. There's never a point where I felt bored watching this, movie. Thandi: It's interesting. It's not too long, although I did feel like it dragged a little bit somewhere in the middle. It's not too long. It has some really intriguing aesthetic choices. The score is late fifties, early sixties style the orchestration, which is interesting. There's some interesting camera stuff going on. It's very surprising that this is uh, George Miller's first major movie. Hobbit: And I feel like the acting is not top-notch, but it does feel natural enough that it's even the bad actors are not that cringey. It doesn't come off poorly, I Thandi: I like some like, goose. I thought Goose Hobbit: Goose is great. Thandi: Max is actually a little bit too young. That was, my complaint. Mel Gibson is a little bit young for the Hobbit: I was mindful and made sure that I didn't go too old with Max [00:04:00] with my casting, but I did. Yeah. He is so much younger than everybody else really in the film. He looks like a baby and maybe it's just cuz we know Mel Gibson to be this like old racist dude. And this is like young racist dude, but. Thandi: This is even before big hair, incredible wings. Mel Gibson. This is, A whole different Hobbit: was looking at actors in their like early twenties, and I just, I couldn't I just, the concept of them driving a car, I'm like, you're not old enough to drive a car. You can't, Thandi: You got the cutest little baby face Hobbit: is something that I really like about Mad Max, is that there is a portrayal of a revenge film, very Western. It's completely, if you take all the beats of this movie and remove the cars and put in horses it's, and it's not the apocalypse, it's just the old West. This is a fucking Western movie. But it doesn't try to overdo the chase scenes. The chase scenes are pretty straight up. Like they're on straightaways. They're not doing all these crazy twists and turns. And max isn't this big buff fucker, he's this normal [00:05:00] sized person that he fights a little, but mostly it's just him running people over with his car. That's the majority of his skillset is just Thandi: Killing people with this Hobbit: yeah, it's, so what I liked about that is , I didn't need to cast some like action hero type necessarily for the role of. Thandi: This was pre that type anyway. They were on the, just the cusp of having leads take over in that fashion. But this is what, it's like 79, Hobbit: believe in late seventies. Yeah. Thandi: Yeah. So this is right before they start putting Adonis Godman as the other action leads. Hobbit: What a weird time. Yeah, it was the eighties pretty much all the way through until right at the end of the 80. when you had the, like Bruce Willis's and the Joe Everyman that came in and picked that back up again, but there was this like 10 year block that was just big old machismo men that ruled the world. Thandi: Yep. And then after that it was, they were all Brad Pitt types wiry, mu wiry dudes that I still resent Hobbit: of course. Oh man, there was a weird time in [00:06:00] my high school years that scrawny hairless men was the in vogue. , and that's literally the opposite of me. if you Thandi: Damn you, Moby moby Hobbit: right. It was all the lanky, fucking scrawny dudes that everybody was losing their shit over had no armpit hair, nothing. Here I am looking like a fucking lumberjack, a short little, wide lumberjack. Thandi: Yes, and both you and the scrawny, lanky dude are both looking at Mel Gibson going, Hobbit: Yeah. Pretty much. Now how the tides have turned that bearded men is now in vogue and yay. Thandi: We rule the day until Hobbit: until we go to bed at a very reasonable hour. Okay. So Mad Max, there's a lot of room to work here. I'm interested to see if either of us, decided to stick to the timeline of the post apocalypse or the dystopian world. Of the original Mad Max or took it a little bit further into the post apocalypse. Also, is this an apocalypse movie? Is this done differently? [00:07:00] I'm really interested. You have the wild one always excites me cuz you will go out there this might be in space, I don't know. So I'm. Thandi: No, the take this time is gonna be something where you're like, what? What are you doing? You know, last time you were like, wow, that is really cool. The time before you, that is fun. This one's gonna be like, yeah, Hobbit: Why Great. Mine, I feel, is a pretty straight ahead version here that I think you're gonna understand why I made the choices that I did. This is the straight up remake, reimagining what have you. I decided that the real difference here is that I didn't want to try to capture that like Aussie. Dystopian vibe. I wanted to look at what Man Max would be if it was an American director, directing American actors with an American aesthetic, but not necessarily the fast and the furious kind of aesthetic. Definitely balls to the wall a little bit. That's just, that's definitely America, but more that, action kind of [00:08:00] comedy, the die hards of it, the fun action vibe a little. With just a touch of demented to get, let it go down smoother. And I decided that Brian Taylor would be my director for that kind of journey. If you're unfamiliar. He is one of the directors of Crank one and two. He directed gamer Ghost writer Spirit of Vengeance. More recently he did the movie Mom and Dad with Nicholas Cage, which is an absolute fucking blast If you haven't seen. Thandi: I have not Hobbit: It's like an infection movie where all the parents are infected and get like homicidal and wanna murder their own children. That's what the virus does. Yeah. Basically. So it's just all these parents being like, come here honey. Stab stab. And there was a series on sci-fi that he that helps create and also directed called Happy. That was a tour de force of demented weird fantasy the main character. Chris Maloney. He has an imaginary friend that's like a flying unicorn that's voiced by Pat [00:09:00] Oswalt. It's a weird show, but definitely steeped in gross, weird demented comedy. And so that's energy that I wanted to bring to this is just a little over the top, a little bonkers but still that intensity you want from an action. And so I, for Max, that was a tough choice for me. I wanted to do a not action hero kind of person, but somebody that could get unhinged , if they really got to that point they would break bad when it got to that. And from his portrayal in mayhem this horror movie, I thought Stephen Yune would be an interesting choice for. Thandi: Oh, nice. I almost cast him in a different role, yeah. Steven. Deserves a breakout role in like a young person's breakout role like that. I know he's going for serious stuff, but Hobbit: He's definitely proven himself to be a tremendous actor. But I've also been playing this dude that gets basically infected and becomes like a raw [00:10:00] nerve of aggression in mayhem. He, it's a very fun ride that he takes you on and he's gets to play it super big and you can tell he is having a fun time with it. And so I want to be able to have that spectrum from the actor playing Max is somebody that can go subtle and quiet cuz Mel Gibson is quiet in the first man Max. He doesn't say a lot at all. So I want that to just go up to 11 when he's on his revenge. That he's what? Just freaking out and going Bonkers. So, Steven Yeun. I think it would be fun in that role for Jesse, his partner, his wife, his, the mother of his child. I wanted an actress that could play like she's got her own shit together. She's not like the damsel and distress type, but is also very funny and can play at these big action sequences and be the comic relief of the moment in some of the most like, darkest moments of this. And I just saw her recently in a really bad movie called Shotgun Wedding. The movie's fucking awful. It's the Jennifer Lopez vehicle that came out on Prime, and it's stupid. I [00:11:00] hate Thandi: Yeah, Sandra started watching that the other day, and I don't Hobbit: Yeah, it's really bad. But Darcy Carden is in it and I love her. She was in the Good place as Janet. She plays Natalie in Barry and she was also in shotgun wedding, but she's a comedic actress. She's been around and she's been in tons of. Very funny. There's something about her that's so, so just like hits me the right way. Very funny actress and has the, I'm one step ahead of you, kind of energy with her humor as well. She knows what you're gonna say and she's got five clips ready to go already. So I thought they would be a fun matchup. Jim Goose. Goose. I wanted somebody that would be like the kind of wide open, wants to be a ladies man, just fun, weird, sidekick character and a little older as well. Christopher Maloney, he's already worked with the director. I think he would've a lot of fun just being like the zany, the, sidekick, or not sidekick, but coworker, Thandi: oh, definitely. And Maloney's. Hobbit: Maloney is a fucking trip. He is such a [00:12:00] trip. Initially I had cast him as Fifi, the basic, their boss, basically. Cuz I thought Maloney would have a lot of fun just walking around shirtless, smoking a cigar and yelling at people. And he would, but I think his energies would be better spent as Jim Goose. For Fifi, I decided that role, I wanted somebody built like the. He looked like a Russian weightlifter that lifted the triangular weights only the their boss, Fifi. So I needed a buff guy that was gonna be able to have fun in this role as this really happy, big energy person. So Terry Cruz immediately jumped out as a good choice there. He Thandi: course. Hobbit: just really friendly, nice boss that people actually like, but also don't fuck with him. I could, Terry Cruz works perfectly for that. Thandi: Yeah. No, Terry Cruz is great as the big Hobbit: Yeah, that's, his whole career is pretty much playing that role for the most part except for Brooklyn nine nine. He doesn't play the big guy, quote unquote necessarily in that role. Thandi: He plays this sweet, cool-headed guy who [00:13:00] loves his family. Hobbit: I feel like Terry Cruz would be a great person to spend time with, not even get a drink with, but like, Just your friend from years ago that you go to like the park with your kids together kind of energy. He, this is a sweetheart Thandi: Who keeps trying to get you to go to the gym with him and you're like, oh Hobbit: suit? Yep. 100%. Oh, your CrossFit friend. That's Terry Cruz. Oh no. I, for the use of bad guys now that we're going with and I wanted to cast a kind of quiet intensity for Bubba Zt. And so I went with Tommy Flanagan, if you're unfamiliar he's the Irish actor with a giant gash scar in his face that was in Sons of Anarchy. He was in Sin City. He's been in Braveheart and Gladiator. Thandi: I believe I know who you're talking about, Hobbit: very well known as a, always the grizzled, tough guy and uh, toe cutter. Unhinged, boss of the biker gang. We gotta get Nicholas Cage in there at some point.[00:14:00] He's had a couple movies with Brian Taylor. He had Ghost Rider and also mom and dad, so they know how to work together. Nicholas Cage could definitely have room to do whatever Nicholas Cage wants with this role. Thandi: I'm kinda surprised that Nick Cage didn't come to mind for me for what I was, what I'm doing. That's, yeah, cuz he is a great choice for that. Hobbit: I think just giving him moments to do whatever would really make this movie. And then finally, Johnny the Boy, the drugged out fucking weirdo guy that gets in trouble and gets arrested and then gets released is the little brother character to the biker gang that always fucks up and they're always really annoyed with him. Pete Davidson. For Johnny The Boy. Yeah, that's perfect. But with this casting and Brian Taylor in this demented action comedy kind of vibe, the world that I'm setting up in the States is that basically resources are dwindled dramatically. and the coasts are really where most everybody lives because you can get to stuff easier that way through the ocean and railway systems and stuff. The [00:15:00] middle of America is basically ghosted. A lot of the crops have died at this point. resources are dwindling dramatically cuz of global warming or whatever you, whatever. It's not necessary to explain, but there's just barren wastes of just flat, dusty dust bowl . And so really the only people that exist in this area have cars, have souped up rods and cars that have extra gas tanks attached to them, randomly and basically Mad Max vehicles that they have to build out to make these long hauls in between small towns that are still existing in the Midwest. And because that also, there's not enough police force to cover these great expanses and so there's the highway patrol basically that has these. That they can get from town to town on like less gas, but still like gun it. You know, they have little bit better technology but they can only get around so much. So they're constantly on the tail of all these highway gangs. They are constantly trying to make sure all the small towns are okay, but the small towns, [00:16:00] they have their sheriffs and their people in charge, but they can only do so much when a gang of like 30 or 40 bikers comes into town. So, they've been after this gang for a while. They've been trying to prevent them from stealing the resources from the towns in their sector. And so that's how they come to know Max from him just being the best cop in their region, trying to protect these towns. So Max is there basically out of his ability to drive really well, but also he gets better resources by being friendly with all these towns that have resources. And they thank him by giving him water and gas and clothes and stuff for his car. As a bribe basically, hey, pay more attention to us than the other towns. And so when the bikers start cutting into his cut by. By stealing resources from these towns and you know, him not getting there in time, then that's what's really pissing him off. You know, that's what's really motivating him [00:17:00] is like, Hey, you're cutting into my stuff here. So it's less about the world fully falling apart. The cities are still, industrialized and still working and functioning. Though poorly, a little bit dystopian, but the middle America looks like the post apocalypse just because everybody's escaped. Pretty much everybody's gone to the coasts. There's nothing really left in middle America anymore for anybody. the crops have died, like the resources have dwindled, Thandi: Yeah. Yeah. And taking it to America is probably a better move anyway, like maybe not explicitly so. But I feel like there's enough regional culture in the Mad Max movies that doing something that you're a little bit more familiar with might be a better. Hobbit: And it being set in Australia was because that's, George Miller lived , like, so it doesn't have to be Australia necessarily. There's nothing Australia centric [00:18:00] about this story really. Thandi: Except for all the the Fosters billboards in the Hobbit: Right. Australian for post apocalypse. So yeah that's my take. Middle America centered mad Max movie with. Yuck. Yucks and action. And explosions and craziness. Thandi: I'd watch it. And it's . It's about time to bring back the the aesthetic. Like of course we had Fury Road as George Miller's modern vision of that, but A world of post-apocalyptic leather daddies that populated that Mad Max era . It's time to bring that back. I'd love to Hobbit: And I, there's only so much further you can go in the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max after Fury Road, because then it's just dust. There's nothing there's barely anything left in Fury Road. Resetting it and bringing it back to where there's ghost towns, they're driving through these ghost towns and there's small populations of people and there's still some level of government, working, giving resources. [00:19:00] Highway patrolman, basically. And, the best way I can explain it is it's when shit's done, there's no going back. The society is collapsing as they speak. Everybody knows it, everybody's aware of it. Everybody knows they got maybe 10 years tops before even the police are gone. That it's that level, but nobody's willing to admit it. It's like when in 2008 when I worked at Blockbuster, everybody knew that Blockbuster was going under, every couple of months another store would go out of business. But we all just pretended that somehow there'd be like a turn that we'd be fine at some point and we just of went about our business until, you know, the store went under. Thandi: Red box is bs. Nobody's gonna use a Hobbit: We just gotta Thandi: box. Netflix, Hobbit: in there just a little bit longer until this fad blows over. So that's this world of Mad Max is people out of not having other options, barely hanging on, hoping that something changes Thandi: Yeah, not knowing that the world is going to descend to the place where the only three assets left [00:20:00] are bullets, gasoline and titty milk. Hobbit: That sounds like a good weekend right there, Thandi: maybe Hobbit: Yeah. Yeah. Thandi: Ah, I did something interesting with my take, I guess, So my take is basically based on me diving down a rabbit hole, mad Max influenced a bunch of like 1980s anime, like just Mel Gibson in general influenced a bunch of 1980s anime, but basically it influenced it so much that like anime style, mad Max has already been. Many times over. So going down that rabbit hole, I was like we're doing a big budget movie for an American audience. What's big budget? American animation. There's Disney and there's Dreamworks. So basically my Mad Max is an animated movie from Dreamworks, Hobbit: Okay. Thandi: Cars via Dreamworks. [00:21:00] And it's It's basically a bunch of chases that climax in the big race for it all or whatever kids movie. No, I take that back. All a family movie, so everybody gets to be Hobbit: So there's some winks to murdering a wife and child and stuff, but not like overtly to. Thandi: It's, yeah. There'll be violence, but it's like violence that you never see. Like people can die in a cartoon movie. You just can't see the body hit the floor. So, my Mad Max Dreamworks movie takes place in Arizona. Max Rocke Tansky is the best pursuit cop on this stretch of of highway in, in Arizona. And he is got a big head about it and it's about him finding his way to appreciate the love of friends and family and working as a team, you know, kid movie stuff. But for everybody. Max Roski, Chris Pratt. Why Chris Pratt? Because Chris Pratt is the universal voice actor for everything right [00:22:00] now. So my Max Roski is Chris Pratt. He will not be doing a gruff anything. He'll just be doing Chris Pratt like he does anyway, except when he is playing when he did that movie for Amazon. Hobbit: Oh, the tomorrow war. Thandi: goose. Yeah, my goose. I just needed a side kick. Character. Who's the best sidekick in the history of man and who's also like a really interesting voice. John C. Reilly Hobbit: I knew you were gonna say John C. Reilly. knew it when you said sidekick. Yeah. Thandi: Yeah he's the sidekick John C. Reilly in, in this take goose still dies, but you don't see him burned to to. Where Max is like, what Hobbit: Where Max does the Ooh Thandi: goosey Hobbit: face as he pulls the sheet up, Thandi: Oh, it's so early days for his acting. It's fine. It's fine. Jesse Roski, the wife is still his wife in this movie, but she's also on the highway patrol. She's part of the [00:23:00] action. Their conflict comes into the fact that he wants to be a lone wolf and she wants to teach him how to work better with the team. Kristen Bell is Jesse Ros Hobbit: Okay. I see it Thandi: cuz she could be sweet and convincing Hobbit: a little agro when need be. Thandi: Yeah. Roski Ski is no longer a child. Sprague Rockat. Tansky is a talking. And the actual direct partner of Max Rock Osky, doing the ride alongs and pointing down the suspects and saying, Hey man, cuz it's Kevin Hart. Is Sprague Rock. Hobbit: Oh, no. Like talk, like I. That's racist. I don't know how it's racist, but it's racist. I think there's no way to portray Kevin Hart playing that character without it coming off kind of racist. Thandi: As Sprague Rock Osky. He can't be like Brian, the dog for Max Rock Atki without [00:24:00] being Hobbit: You you know how they would play Kevin Hart in that role though. That's the thing. There's only Thandi: Yeah. But that's actually Kevin Hart. That's how Kevin Hobbit: I'm Thandi: Kevin Hart. That's on him. Me too. That's what makes it great. The tow tremor, so the Hobbit: The tow trimmer. Thandi: Yeah. The Hobbit: no. That's brilliant. But God damn it Thandi: is Keefer Sutherland cuz he is got the ultimate like, hard ass, bad guy voice the cold. Wonderful for a kids' movie, perfect villain Hobbit: If you haven't seen the movie Freeway with uh, Keer Sutherland. He plays like the big bad wolf type character of like a serial killing like dude. And he does this kind of like voice. I can picture that being the perfect touchpoint for him to play this role. Like of the kind of growly. Thandi: Or his take on a solid Hobbit: Yes. Thandi: cuz he was, he replaced David Hader on that game that people were like, oh, it's not David Hader. Zunti, his his second in [00:25:00] command is, No longer a person. That's a dog too. But that dog can talk. And that talking dog is Patrick Warburton. Is Zanetti in this Hobbit: So Kronk's new, dystopia uh, okay. Thandi: Yeah, he's the henchman. He's henchman number one. Henchman number two, Kini. The guy who loses his hand. And yeah. That's James Fran. So James Franco is is guy number three, the police captain or whatever of the station house. The boss is Brian Cox Hobbit: always a good Thandi: and they're all just, yeah, they're all just trying to reign Max in Goose dies, wife lives tow trimmer. Ends by not getting hit by a truck, but by driving off of a cliff Disney style. So he dies. You don't see the death, but characters falling off a cliff is like animated kids movie tradition. Uh, That's how he does Hobbit: noise as Yeah.[00:26:00] Thandi: and like a, just a sickening splat. Yeah. That is my version of of Mad Max. Hobbit: choices were made But it does beg the question, like, why aren't there more post-apocalyptic cartoons that really, I feel like cars kind of could be perceived that way. And then there's Wally, and then that's it. Like that's pretty Thandi: You get something like, I don't know I don't know about a post apocalypse, but Treasure Planet or a ladin where the heroes just in dire straits. Hobbit: Titan ae, I guess would be post-apocalyptic, or at least for Earth. Yeah. It's literally after Earth is what it stands for. Yeah. I don't know, I'd go see it can't be too judgmental on something where like, yeah, day one I'd be there watching it being like, what the fuck? Thandi: I'd be curious enough to look up the reviews, but yeah, Hobbit: nice . Yeah, Thandi: the audacity, why are you making this movie cause Hobbit: because money. All right. With you saying Brian Cox as well for your thing, I'm [00:27:00] just thinking a mashup for Mad Max. I would love to see Super Troopers three being in the post apocalypse where they're still working the highway patrol, but in a Mad Max type fashion, would be fucking great cuz Brian Cox, he. The boss in Supert Troopers, so yeah, that would be brilliant. Thandi: So, a couple fun mashups. Mad Max in weird science, like in that scene where Kelly Le Brock brings like the the Road Warrior style mutants to their party. At the end of the movie, she also brings Max, and then she ends up hooking up with Max instead of the nerds. Um, , And Mad Max and Waterworld. Where the the Mariner finally reaches dry land, but the dry land is Australia, and so he's in the jurisdiction of Max Rocke Tansky, now Hobbit: I I would watch that movie. 100% Thandi: Desert versus Duff Sea, Hobbit: Mad Max Fury, tsunami. I don't know. Yeah. Mad Max Tsunami. Okay, so we've [00:28:00] got two very different takes on Mad Max. Both of which I think we would probably be murdered online for even suggesting so Perfect. Perfect for us. Um, And now we're doing the trailers, so let me get that. From the director that brought you Crank one, crank two, and Ghost Rider. Spirit of Vengeance is an American take on a cult classic Meet Max. He's mad. Played by Stephen Yon and he'll stop at nothing to take down the toe cutter crew and restore order to the Midwest this summer Max. Loses his wife Jesse, played by Darcey Carden, and him and his buddy Jim Goose, played by Christopher Maloney are wiping the streets red with the blood of their enemies. With the help of Fifi, their boss, played by Terry Cruz. They go up against Tommy Flanagan as Bubba Zanetti, Nicholas Cage as the leader of the toe cutters, toe [00:29:00] cutter, and hijinks ensuing. Burnout. Fuck boy. Pete Davidson. As Johnny the Boy. Are you mad? You will be with this remake Mad Max America Road. Thandi: Oh, I didn't give my director actually. Before we continue my director was Clarence William, or I'm sorry, Chris Williams. Clarence Williams is somebody I went to high school with Chris Williams, who directed Big Hero six and the Hobbit: man. Both of those are really, I didn't realize it was the same director, big hero of six I love that movie so much. Sea Beast was better than I expected it would be. Thandi: Yeah, I've heard nothing, but I haven't watched it all the way through yet. I started it and I got distracted, but it's on the list because I've heard nothing but good things about it. I heard, I've heard it's Hobbit: Yeah. With directors for animated films. I that that's a thing. Like you, you think of directors like directing live actors, you know, but I'm sure there's plenty that goes into directing Lincoln animated film, possibly even more than a regular film. There's amazing director like Brad Bird who did the Incredibles movies [00:30:00] and stuff that did Directors of animation, but I never really think about it. Thandi: Yeah. Those guys do some some amazing work and they have to entertain a larger audience than many other directors do. So they have to get their lesson in there, keep the parents occupied, keep the kids occupied. It's a. An interesting juggling job to pull that together. speaking of entertaining an audience we've got your take next for your trailer I hate it. Hobbit: So let me light it up. You ready to roll? Let's get this car on the road, I guess. Thandi: From Chris Williams in Dreamworks. It's a movie about what happens when you're too good at what you do in a world that's not Chris PR is Mad Max Rocke Tansky the best cop on the Arizona Highway. His wife played by Kristen Bellis, Jesse Rocke Tansky, and she just wants him to make friends. Sprague, his [00:31:00] dog is Kevin Hart. Cutting up and having fun on the highway is a fight keeper. Sutherland's tow trimmer and his boys, Patrick War Burton and James Franco. As they try to win the big race, but are they good enough to win the big race? And does it matter when The most important thing on the road as having the drive to be the best, to take it all on your own, even when it threatens to drive away you from the only race that matters, the race to be the best of friends. Mad Max, the best of friends coming this summer. Hobbit: Friend Road Um, I, yeah. Fuck it. Yeah, let's make this kid's movie. I, I'm, I, you know what, you changed my mind. I am on board with this yet to get another banger from Tandy in the, in the Wackadoo category. So [00:32:00] Wackadoo. Hell yeah. This was a blast. I am really glad that I got a chance to rewatch Mad Max. It's one of. The road warrior is so good. Like the sequel is so, so good that I sometimes, Thandi: And that's the one that everybody has seen. That's Hobbit: yeah. And so I forget sometimes that Mad Max is still very good. Like it's a really good starter to this universe that gets created Thandi: Yeah. Hobbit: and then you throw in Thunderdome and just have a like silly blast. Thandi: And, but none of them have what Mad Max has, which is the Hall of Justice. Hobbit: I forgot yet. Thandi: They like an old abandoned cement factory. That's the Hall of Justice, and that is awesome in itself. Hobbit: Not just genre, but he permanently changed the way people did dystopian Futures with this movie. And it was basically because he was in the outback of Australia and he had access to these abandoned buildings and he's like, great. Yeah.  Cool. This is what it is. Like this is the police station and yeah, it's like a cement plant or something. Great. No Thandi: Yeah. No, he's he was inspired and they didn't run over the [00:33:00] kid, which was also inspired. That brought me in more than any other scene in the movie. Were the kids out in Hobbit: Oh, right, yeah, yeah, Thandi: They're driving. They're driving. I was like, he was, this movie's kind of crazy, but they're not gonna kill this kid. Whew. Hobbit: pet cemetery. This is not, Pet Cemetery is like, fuck that kid. Thandi: Oh, guess we'll need to add that one to the list too. Actually. That's already been remade. Hobbit: Yep. Terrible remake, unfortunately, but at least compared to these bangers that we brought on this episode here, think Mad Max needs to go a new direction, with some of our choices here. Thandi: Hit us up. Hobbit: we're ready and waiting. So speaking, of, waiting, we're waiting for you to follow us on social media, Facebook, Twitter.  Just follow geeks of the influence on Instagram, Twitter, you've got me and Thandi on Twitter. We've gotta smack my pitch up. uh, pitch smacked on Twitter. got Facebook keep track of when episodes are coming out. We'll let you know when there's cool stuff happening. Maybe some live event. And, yeah, it's a great way to get all the pitch smacking that you could ever want. Thandi: [00:34:00] Yeah, All All smacked all day long. Oh it's got a rosy glow Hobbit: from all the smackings. So on that uh, yeah, re review, subscribe, post on socials, let people know how cool this show is and how bad our choices are. But that's half the fun. Gotta thank Of course. Tandy, thank you so much for joining me on this. Thandi: Thank you, sir. Hobbit: I'll find you next time. Thandi: I'm Thandi. Hobbit: and you just got pitch smacked, Thandi: Hey, pitch another smacking shrimp on the Bobby Hobbit: mate. Good day. Good day. Thandi: Fosters it's pitch for smack. Hobbit: Jesus.

Multiple Streams of Income with Louisa Ashforth This week Laura interviews Louisa Ashforth, a Beauty Business Entrepreneur who has grown her business in a revolutionary way in her industry by thinking big and creating Multiple Streams of Income. In this episode, Laura asks how others can diversify in their niche and create assets that give income continually. Lousia Ashforth -  A beauty boss who got tired of the industry’s hype has taken on the big names, launched her own skincare brand and built up a celebrity following.Louisa Ashforth is a therapist and Rotherham salon owner with 17 years of industry experience.Her LA Skincare range is a multi-tasking skin toolkit beloved by a host of famous UK names.Made in the UK using some of the most effective, results-driven ingredients in the beauty industry, the range contains just six products, which have sold in their thousands throughout the UK and Europe.Louisa owns the formulas for each product, which cost from £20 to £45,  and claims they work for every skin type and condition, eradicating the need to buy a new cream or lotion when a skin issue crops up.Louisa decided to create her own products four years ago, after seeing clients continually being bombarded by ‘miraculous’ new products in the media.She also discovered her favourite high-end skincare brands contained parabens – widely used preservatives in cosmetic products which penetrate skin and can remain within tissue.“I was decided to make safer, affordable products which could multi-task, and was determined to cut through the beauty industry hype which leads people to buy a new product each time their skin changes,” said Louisa, 38, owner of LA Hair and Beauty Salon on Worksop Road in Aston.“Everyone’s skin condition varies from time to time, according to lifestyle choices and environment, hormones and health. If you chose products with the right active ingredients, they will work on almost all skin issues.”Louisa researched ingredients herself and found an award-winning Kent-based pharmaceutical company specialising in natural products to create her range.LA Skincare’s Super Six products are paraben-free, vegan, Fair Trade and are not tested on animals. Active ingredients – including potent beta and alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin E oil and aloe vera –  are widely recognised throughout the beauty industry for efficacy and safeness.“The products focus on exfoliation and stimulating skin renewal. They combat dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, break-outs, acne, stressed skin, sun and environmental damage. You just adapt the way you use each product. It’s  skincare common-sense,” claimed the beauty entrepreneur who set up in business aged 22.Her products are receiving glowing testimonials from acne-suffering teenagers to older customers wanting smoother, firmer skin, plus celebrities including TV presenter Jenny Powell, actresses Angela Griffin and Stephanie Davis, of Hollyoaks fameFamous male fans are former X Factor singer Chris Maloney and Geordie Shore actor Nathan Henry, who uses LA Skincare’s Chocolate Delight Enzyme Peel.West End stage actress and singer Kerry Ellis, who has worked with Queen’s Brian May, is the brand’s ambassador.LA Skincare is sold at a beauty salon in Marbella, nine salons around the UK and at www.LASkincare.co.ukLet's connect on social media channels:https://www.facebook.com/groups/CreatingSalonSuccess/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa0wl2H5j1_8OJ7Cyw2bJIA/https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisa-ashforth-skincare-and-beauty-salon-expert-b8109869/ Enjoy his Podcast?

TranscriptAaron Hixson: Hey Northridge, welcome to A Little Better, where our goal is to know God better and to do better, so that we can be a little better. Hey everybody, welcome back to A Little Better. Thank you for joining us for another episode. I'm coming to you with a very important person. His name is Drew Karschner, but he is more famous for his ability to help you paint like a pro. This is our lead pastor, who has some amazing skills that the CW keeps reminding us of. Drew Karschner: Apparently I have bladder issues as well. So, I don’t know. I can paint, but I can't hold my pee. [Both laughing.] Aaron: That is perfect. If anybody has been watching on the CW or you check out from time to time the TV guide, a few times that we've been on TV, the CW has put up -- I don't know if these were previously paid, you know, advertisers or whatever it was. This past week it was how to Paint Like a Pro with Zoom Paint or something like that. And the first week was literally, what was the actual caption for week 1? Drew: It was like, Trouble with Your Bladder or something like that. Aaron: I got so many funny screenshot text messages of people, they would try to catch you with a funny face, and they're like, "having trouble with your bladder." I'm sure you got that too. Drew: I have enough trouble, like, on my own of not making funny moments, or you know, dumb moments myself. Then the CW, obviously would like to help me out as well. Thank you for that. Aaron: Just a little bit of extra boost as if we needed more opportunities for people to make some memes, but, oh my goodness, that's good. And by the way, if you do have any painting tips, I'd love to hear from, you know, the Zoom paint method. Let me know what that is. I'm doing some painting this week, so I need the help. Drew: Nice. Aaron: Yeah, let's actually go in a little bit more here. I have a question I think that maybe is related to the way we've been planning our services ever since COVID has hit. Something that, especially for people that listen to this podcast, they're probably insiders in our church and are familiar with how we do things normally. We haven't typically done a lot of, like, at the end of a service, you might call it an altar call or an invitation, where people can raise their hand and put their faith in Christ, that kind of a thing. We haven't ordinarily done tons of that, but ever since COVID, we've literally done it every week since March the 15th or whatever it was that we went into COVID. So I'm just wondering if you can let us know why is that, what's the thinking behind it. I haven't heard anything negative about it, I just wanna give you an opportunity to cast some vision around that. Drew: Yeah, so the first weekend we had what we would call COVID series. If you remember, we were in the Unfiltered Jesus series. I was in a boat talking about storms in your life. Man, I preached that message and I watched it on the stream. I felt really good about it, but there was one major regret that I had. I know in the season of fear and uncertainty, people have a lot of questions. I walked away from that service and went, "Man, I didn't give people a chance to respond to the truth of the gospel." And I felt this overwhelming sense of a little bit of regret, and I just felt like the Holy Spirit was like, “Drew, you need to lean into this moment and you need to go for it and give people a chance to respond to the gospel.” So, man, I prayed about it, and I just had this sense of confirmation that that's what God wanted me to do and how he wanted me to lead, so I just chased after it. So, ever since that weekend, I've given people a chance to respond to the gospel. There's two reasons why I do that. One, because I think there's a lot of people out there who haven't experienced the hope of Jesus who need to experience the hope of Jesus. I want to give them a clear picture of what that is, the truth behind that, and the way you accept that. But two, I think just as a Christ follower, for us, man, just because I've accepted the gospel doesn't mean I don't still need the gospel. And hearing the truth of the gospel, each week, and being able to pray for people in the moment where they're choosing to respond against the spiritual forces of evil I think is a really powerful reminder and a really powerful moment for our church. And so, I just feel like it's something really God has led me to do. And we've seen God move in people's hearts. There's really no way of measuring salvation. That's something that only God knows. But we've seen, I think up to this point, 106 people say, "Hey, I said that prayer, I chose to respond to this message." And man, I don't know what that number means. I'll be the first one to be honest and say, man, we've had 106 people let us know they said that prayer. I don't know what that means. Only God does. But man, I'm gonna celebrate that people are responding to that, and I just think it's been really cool to see. Aaron: Mmhmm. Yeah, I agree with all that. What's your thought, or what is the conversation thus far related to our plan, let's say -- I'm not even gonna throw a date out there. Let's just say when we're back together, and things are "normal," even though that will likely be a phased approach, what's your guess as to how or when we might continue this, or how long we would continue it? Drew: I don't know if I know the answer to that question. I feel like I'm gonna just, you know, I think we'll continue to do it. I don't even know if going forward we'll continue to do it every single week the way we're doing it. If you've been coming to Northridge church, you know we like to experiment with things. Aaron: Sure. Drew: And we pull things and we add things fast and quick. And so, I'm gonna do it until I feel like, you know, God tells me to stop. I know that's kind of a generic answer, but I don't know. I don't know if we're gonna continue to do it or if we're gonna stop, but I've seen God use it, and I'm gonna celebrate that until we decide to maybe kind of change it or adjust it better for our services. Aaron: Sure. Drew: All that to say, I don't know. Aaron: [Laughing.] That's an extended answer for the reality of I don't know. That's funny. Okay, cool. I just think that’s really helpful for people to hear, and even for me, you know, to think it through. And I'm actually teaching this weekend, so it's good for me to understand some of those dynamics as well, even though we've talked about it some. Cool. So, this past weekend was a cool one on a few different fronts, but getting to baptise Richie was definitely fun for me. Drew: Amazing story. Aaron: Yeah, incredible story. He worked hard to make sure he could express that clearly. I'm so thankful for Richie's willingness to share, and share honestly. I mean, obviously there's details in there that he could have easily told his story without including, and he chose to be honest. And he had even more that he shared especially about, the importance of Starting Point and the particular leaders who lead in the Henrietta campus Starting Point. Brad and Karen Files, Mike and Chris Maloney, are people that he shouted out in particular. And I just, man, that environment across all of our campuses has been so crucial for people's faith. And I think he said it best. He said "they were there to recruit --" I'm sorry. Backwards. [Laughing]Drew: Yeah, that's wrong. Aaron: "They were there to inform, not to recruit." And I love how he said that. That's the reality of Starting Point. Now, at the end of the day, we are all kind of low-key recruiting, right? But the way that you want people to feel is that we're just letting you know the facts so that you can make a decision, and just be praying that God's at work in their lives. Drew: Yeah, we recruit with love. I like that. It's not like people are a number to us. We just love them, and we allow God to do the work that only he can do. That's what he did in Richie's life. He used people to inform them of the truth, love him where he was, and God worked on him. Aaron: Yeah. And if you believe that there's something really good that you're offering to people, even if you're gonna do it in a gentle and kind and loving way, you still are low-key hoping that they'll do it, which is at some level recruiting. You know? So that kind of brings us to that missional relationship thing of living with urgency. Like, if I genuinely believe that I hold the keys to the truth of reality, especially life after death, then I am going to be at some basic level recruiting, but we don't have to think of recruiting in a negative sense where you're getting, you know, cold sales calls from people that you don't know and who don't care about anything but your money. Like, it's not that kind of recruiting, but we could be that kind of urgent. You know, t's a tension to manage, but the fact that he felt as if they were just there to inform, while in the back of their minds they're desperately hoping and praying that he'll come to know Christ, that's why that was so perfect to me. Because it illustrated how we're trying to come across, while maintaining a deep sense of urgency. Drew: Yeah, I think that's well said. Aaron: And you couldn't even see the gloves that I was wearing, so it really worked. [Both laughing.] I was kind of glad they weren't like bright purple surgical gloves, that were up to the elbows or something. That would have looked a little funny. Drew: Dishwasher gloves. Aaron: Yeah, dishwasher gloves. [Both laughing.] Which, by the way, do you ever wear those when you wash dishes? Drew: No. My wife wears them every time. She's got, like, purple polka-dotted ones and bright red ones, I'm like, why? You know why I wear them? I use them for one thing and one thing only. You ever try to open a jar you can't open? Those gloves are bomb-diggity for getting jars. I mean, literally. I can squeeze my hand, my hand hurts, I put those gloves on, I'm like Hulk. I become the Hulk with that. I'm like, [grunts.] Aaron: That's amazing. I gotta say, I've never had a jar I couldn't immediately open. Basically I just look at a jar, and it starts opening because I'm, like, incredibly strong. Drew: It's cause Lauren twists them for you. Aaron: Well, what? No. Drew: It's cause she pre-twists them for you. Aaron: [Laughing.] Whatever, whatever. Dude, I actually -- Lauren somewhere along the way, like, had decided to grab some of those gloves and now I legit, like I don't want to touch anything in the sink if I'm not wearing those gloves. It's incredible. Drew: I'm not sure I'd let the public know that, Aaron. Aaron: No, seriously bro. Imagine doing like 15 minutes of dishes --Drew: You're not gonna convince me on this. Aaron: Dude, 15 minutes of dishes and there's no wrinkly hands afterwards. It's amazing. Drew: Aaron, I like tubs. So that wrinkly feeling is -- I like it. Aaron: Oh my goodness. Again, there's so much wrong with your whole approach related to water. I just feel like we need to do a whole segment. Drew: You mean the most important resource in the world and I actually like it? You know your body is made up of like 75%, so like, right now, you're rejecting 75% of who you are and who God made you to be. Aaron: No, I don't like to sit in my own filth. That's why I don't like it. [Laughing.] Whatever. The fact that you don't pre-shower before a bath is -- I can't, I'll never be over that. Drew: Just to give a pre-reference, if I work out in the mud, in the field, I do pre-shower. But when I'm already clean and I wanna relax, I just get in the nice clear water. Aaron: Okay, okay. Enjoy your lavender bath bomb. I’ll just -- actually, that would be amazing. I'll take a lavender bath bomb right now. I just would pre-shower. Okay, so the series A Life That Matters, one thing I wanna lean into, we've gotten some feedback I think is actually really helpful around the name of the series and what people are understanding it to mean. Let me just set some context and have you give some clarity around it. The tension is, A Life that Matters sounds as if what we're saying, cause the word matters has multiple meanings, and so if you think of the word matters in our culture, oftentimes it's coming up with like Black Lives Matter or All Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter and all of the tension surrounding that. But what those hashtags are meant to convey, and in particular, Black Lives Matter, is just trying to illustrate that, you know, people in our community are sometimes treated as if they don't matter. And so this hashtag is meant to highlight the fact that these are lives that actually do have inherent value and worth. So they're using the word matter to imply, this life has value. Just in and of itself. Its existence has value. So when we say "a life that matters," we're kind of making it seem as if, when you look at the world, there are some lives that have inherent value and some lives that don't have inherent value, because that's what the word matter can mean at times. So, I don't believe we're saying that, and I would love for you to tell us what we mean by the word matter so that we can clear up for people that we're not demeaning the value of any human. Drew: Sure, and I think we brought a little bit of clarity to that this weekend when we talked about relationships and, you know, we made this statement, I made this statement. I don't know why I said we. I guess it was just me and that empty room all by myself. Aaron: The royal plural. Drew: You know, we said every life matters. It has intrinsic value because God made people that way, he put his image in them, and so every life has value. That's the way God made us. And so, you can't argue that statement because God already stamped his approval, the truth on it. And so every life has value. What we're really talking about in this series is what you do with your life. And does what you do actually make it count? And so your actions have a lot of weight on whether your life has impact, counts, for not just here and now, but for all of eternity. And so we're looking at kind of the idea of legacy, of a legacy that you can -- and we're gonna talk about this in the series, so this is a kind of sneak preview of where we're headed - a legacy that lasts here on earth, but also looks towards eternity. And so, this is really an action oriented series on what you're doing with your life and how much it can count if you're investing it in the right things. Aaron: Got it. So it's more about the cumulative result of your life's efforts. And I love that word legacy. I think that's. A perfect description because that's what we're leaning into. If you get to the end of your life and you were to just tabulate what you've accomplished and who it will impact, and for how long it will impact them, will you be able to say your life matters? And there's people who have accomplished a lot, but it's stuff that won't ultimately matter for eternity, like whatever, a sports legend who invests their entire life in sports and they get to the end of it, and they're like, "Okay, you got 6 MVPs" or whatever, but that's not gonna matter for eternity. That's not to say that the only thing that has -- the only thing you're allowed to do with your life, like if you're an accountant, you need to quit and become a missionary because you're crunching numbers and that doesn't matter. Of course that's not what we're saying. But that's what A Life That Matters is meant to imply, is are you investing your life, whether you're an accountant, a pastor, an NBA star, whatever you're doing, are you using that platform and those opportunities to have a result of your life that you're gonna say, man I'm so glad that I was a basketball player this way, that I was an accountant who operated this way at work? You know?Drew: Yeah, and I think it goes back to what Paul said this weekend, making the most of every opportunity so, it's learning to invest your time into the right things that not only have impact here, but have impact for forever. Aaron: Got it. So, I think that we'll, if there are folks either struggling through that or trying to figure out if we're making it seem as if someone matters or doesn't -- in fact, I think it's important to say, no matter how you spend your life, it will not impact in any way your inherent worth. You can't make yourself more or less valuable to God by the way that you live your life. Drew: Isn't that the great thing about God? How awesome is that. That truth is amazing, that no matter what you do with your life, doesn't change the value God has placed on your life, but it has significance for where you spend your eternity. Aaron: Yeah. So, if people have questions about that, if you're still struggling through that, trying to figure out either what we mean, or if there's anything in this that brings up a tension in your own life, feel free. Of course, always reach out to any of us, anybody on our staff, any of our social media, we've made that clear. We want to be as accessible as possible. And we would love to bring up specific questions or tensions if you've got them. One thing that we even talked about, Drew, as we were, I guess, sorting through this tension was -- something that came to my mind right away was a line from the book Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper, which, if you haven't read it, it's kind of like a Christian classic at this point. John Piper makes some really strong points about how to invest our lives, and I think it has really impacted a generation of Christianity. But there's a moment -- John Piper's father was an evangelist. At one of his evangelism meetings a guy came forward, placed his faith in Christ, he was in his late 60s or something. John Piper has a vivid memory of this man in what felt like -- John Piper's a kid, so this guy felt really old. And he was at the end of his life and had just placed his faith in Christ. The refrain he kept repeating after placing his faith in Christ was, "I've wasted it, I've wasted it, I've wasted it." The guy, looking back on his life and realizing, "I have nothing to show for these 60-plus years of my life because I've spent it all on myself.” So that person, this guy, he doesn't not matter to God. Of course he matters to God. He has an inherent worth. But he was self-declaring, "I've wasted my life. I've spent it on stuff that doesn't matter, and now I wish I could invest in something that does." Drew: That reminds me, Aaron, this is kind of a sneak peak into this weekend is, we've got a story we're gonna share that is very similar to that. I think it's gonna be really powerful in your message. I can't wait. I just watched it. Man, it'll charge you up. It'll cause you to reevaluate what you're doing with your life. Aaron: No doubt. Drew: It's so powerful. Make sure you're inviting your friends. What a great story. Aaron: It's an incredible story. Drew: By the way, shoutout to Connor Ellsworth, who is actually in our Zoom call right now. Dude, you did an incredible job with the video. Aaron: It came together really well. I've watched it, I don't know, a number of times, and each time, I keep thinking, the first time I listened to it I was like, "Wait, why am I preaching? Can we just play this?" It's like a four and a half minute video and I'm like, let's just play this and be done. I have nothing to contribute. Yeah. It's so good. And his sentiment, this guy from the book Don't Waste Your Life and what you're gonna hear from Michael this weekend, it's just the idea that, "Man, I wish I had done this differently. I don't feel like my life had mattered until I started living this way." Drew: And that's what this series is all about. We talk about death brings perspective. When you're facing death, it doesn't matter how well you lived your life. There's gonna be things you look back and be like, "I did a great job with this." But there's also gonna be areas where you're like, "I wish I would've changed things. I wish I would have done things differently." It's crisis and death that actually give us the clarity that we need to see things accurately. Aaron: I love that. Let's actually talk about that related to the different categories of relationships. What would you do differently, where do you think we tend to go wrong? This is related to everyday relationships, intimate relationships, missional relationships, and our relationship with God. Those are the four categories you talked about, and you even did a little bit of, you know, confession or honesty with us about phone-snubbing your kids or whatever and having regret around that, as we all have. How have you processed this just since Sunday related to making the most of every opportunity and relationship? Drew: I think the big things I was challenged by my message was, one, I want to have more boldness. I feel like I'm seeing that in this crisis. I've had way more boldness just to invite anybody and everybody. I've been, like, scrolling through my contacts being like, "Who haven't I talked to in a while and how can I invite them to the live stream?" And I'm realizing, the worst thing that can happen to me is someone ignores my text or says "I'm not interested." This crisis has given me this, like "Dude, why haven't you been this bold before? What has stopped you?" And it's just creating a boldness in me. And I want more of that. I want that to continue to grow. I don't want that to fade as the crisis fades. I want to keep that, this urgency of, man, I can come up with all the excuses. But what urgency does is it just tears down all my excuses and says "Let's go for it." I'm learning a little bit of that with my missional relationships. Then, with my everyday relationships, obviously I don't want to talk too much about my dad, because we've talked about him, but whew. Yeah. There's just some moments I regret, I wish I could get back. [Emotional.] So that's all I'll say about that cause I'm not gonna make it through. Aaron: Yeah. And as much as sometimes we'll make it seem like you're the emotional one and I'm the nerdy one, I am a super sappy person when it comes to certain relationships, in particular with Lauren. Like, we legit can't watch -- even like romcoms are sometimes on the edge for me, like if there's breakups or spouses passing away or stuff like that. I'm always just like, "Oh, Lauren I love you so much, don't ever leave me" and "I'm gonna miss you." I don't know,something about seeing other people's tragedies that makes us realize that this relationship matters, but an hour ago I thought it was more interesting to be watching some YouTube video. We've all had that moment where either you're talking to your spouse or a friend or something, and the phone starts to creep in and now you're looking at your phone. I've done this a million times where I have to admit to Lauren, I'm like, "I gotta be real with you, I didn't hear a word you just said” because I was too busy doing something stupid.You talked about how we replace the meaningful with the meaningless. I'm watching a YouTube video on how to set up dust collection in a woodshop and the love of my life is talking to me about something. Even if it's insignificant, and I've somehow decided in that moment that I'm gonna prioritize the dumbest video. And as you said, those are the moments that I'm just gonna say, "What was I thinking?" You know? We can't live our lives full of regret, like "Did I literally maximize every second of our relationship?" and I know that. Drew: Right, right. Aaron: But at the same time, I don't wanna lose seconds, you know? I want to make the most of every opportunity. Paul uses that in particular with missions. In both Ephesians and Colossians, those are specific to people who are far from God. He's saying, make the most of every opportunity, but I love that you applied it more generally to even just either your barista or the people that we know the most. Make the most. Why would you not make the most? We have such a short life. These people mean so much to us, and these people will be around for eternity, so catch every moment. You know? Drew: Right, and I just think, you know, we've all worked a job where someone's a jerk to us. And we've all worked a job when someone was kind and appreciative. Sometimes it's as simple as that with your waitress or the person serving you coffee or whoever, your coworkers. It's just like, "Hey, I appreciate you." That goes a long way. Or, "Hey, thanks for my coffee. It was amazing." Or "Hey, how's your day going?" One thing my wife is so good at, and honestly this is where I get convicted in my everyday relationships. We're checking out and I'm ready to go, and my wife is sitting there talking to the cash register. And I'm like, "Babe, shut up! Let's go!" Like, Drew, this is a person. And they're talking to me. And I'm like, dang. I'm a jerk. I am a jerk. I'd rather get on with my day than make the most of the opportunity in front of me. And my wife is so good at this. She'll sit there and, 30 minutes talk, even if there's people behind her. I'm like, "Babe, these people hate you back here, and this person loves you." Aaron: Every cashier that's ever talked to Ashley loves her. Everybody who's behind Ashley hates her. Drew: Like, just keep moving. My wife knows the people at where she goes, where she shops. She knows the name. When she shows up, they're like, "Hey, Ashley, good to see you," and I'm like, "Who are you?" And I'm convicted. I do, I view these people as a means to an end. Your job is to check me out, give me it as fast as you can so I can get the heck out of here. Aaron: Mmhmm. Yeah. And it's very difficult when people serve a utilitarian purpose in our life, it's very easy to begin to ignore them, to not even see them. And you mentioned it, we right now care about these "everyday relationships" in a way we don't normally because, at the moment, your interaction with the cashier at Wegmans is now like --Drew: Vital. Aaron: It's also one of your only interactions with somebody that's not your family. Drew: Can we talk, please? Aaron: You're chatting it up with everybody. Drew: Except there's a screen there. Back away sir. I'm like, "I just need a hug!" Aaron: It's bulletproof glass and they're just like, "Please back away from the barrier." But yeah, so we notice these people and we are grateful for these people, but, you know, life will go back to normal, just like a year after a funeral we go back to how we were operating. Months down the road after this crisis is over, we're gonna start ignoring people again. And so, that's what this series, the essence of it is, you know, it's better to go to a house of mourning, learn the lesson there, and concentrate it into your life such that it won't take crisises in the future to make you care about people, to not miss moments with your family. I know we keep coming back to what this series is all about, but I guess that's just what feels, that's the heart of it. Drew: That's why we do this, cause they're so important. Everybody wants to go back to normal, which I get, at some level I do. But I think we would be missing what God's trying to do if we just go back to the old normal that we had. Maybe we create a new normal that is actually more effective and actually, with our lives, counts even more. Aaron: Yeah, that's beautiful. Let's push toward that. Anything we need to know about this coming weekend? Drew: Um, the man with the beard is preaching. Aaron: Mmm, Nate Miller. [Laughing.] No. Drew: You're preaching, which I'm excited. One, I'm thankful. I just needed a break emotionally and spiritually and physically, so thank you for that. I'm excited to hear. We're gonna be talking about investing our resources, and so it's gonna be incredible, awesome. We're gonna look at two stories, so I'm pumped about that. It's gonna be a great weekend. I've loved this series, and I think it's having some impact on people's lives. Aaron: Agreed. Drew: Do you have anything to say about this weekend? Aaron: Um, well, other than, if you love it, then I did some tweaking. If you hate it, then it was Drew's original message. That's all I have to say. Whatever credit there is to have, I want it. Whatever blame there is, I'm dishing it. Drew: I'll take it for you, bro. You're preaching for me, I'll take your blame. Aaron: [Laughing.] Hopefully the CW, dude, if they give me -- I can't wait for what caption they give. Drew: You know it's gonna be perfect because I'm not there. You won't get any pictures, no awkward faces with the bladder out of control, it'll be like, the title's gonna be Aaron Hixson is better than Drew. That's what they're gonna put. Aaron: No, it's gonna be, like, a modeling agency or something. It'll be like, "Don't you wish you looked this good?" [Laughing.] Oh my goodness. Okay. Well, we'll just wait and see. I don't wanna get too excited about what the CW labels me. Thanks everybody for listening. Seriously, we would love to have a conversation with you. Send in comments, questions, concerns. We wanna alleviate tensions and help everybody the way that we can. So, we'll see you this weekend on the chat stream or the correctly labelled CW. Thanks guys.
