You get to experience fear. And he was sharing that he had a successful life at the Big House, the wife and kids, and on the inside, he was just not a happy person. 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.Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the evolving convo I have with Stephan Neff in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, make sure you do after you listen to this one, because it's great. Stephan is really cool, and he's got that New Zealand accent, which is, you know, if you're in the Western world, it's kind of nice. I guess that's the Western world as well. If you're in the United States, an accent is nice. It's, you know, it's different than mine. So anyways, today is March 6th 2025 and it's the Day of the Dude. Brad Crowell 1:26  The Day of the Dude. Lesley Logan 1:27  The Day of the Dude is celebrated on March 6th every year to commemorate the North American release of the movie The Big Lebowski in 1998. The movie portrays a protagonist with a laid back attitude to life, who chooses simplicity, peace and happiness. The idea is to enjoy life's little moments, such as bowling or drinking with some friends. The holiday looks to promote ease and simplicity in society. Being able to easily let things go and go with the flow is big part of the lifestyle. The lifestyle portrayed in the movie inspired the birth of the religion philosophy, known as “Dudeism.” Brad Crowell 2:03  Dudeism.Lesley Logan 2:04  And so you know what, guys, I think we all need to just sit back, go bowl, drink with some friends, and just have a day where you just relax a little bit. I didn't really get the movie. I think that's because I can't relax very well. So I think maybe this is my Day of the Dude. It's Jeff Bridges. And who doesn't love John Goodman?Brad Crowell 2:22  And Steve Buscemi. I mean, it's amazing. Lesley Logan 2:24  Julianne Moore, Sam Elliott, John Turturro. Huge cast, amazing cast. Brad Crowell 2:30  Pretty fantastic. Lesley Logan 2:31  You know. So I think we saw this at the cemetery. We saw The Big Lebowski at the cemetery. Brad Crowell 2:35  Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the cemetery.Lesley Logan 2:36  The one and only time I've ever seen The Big Lebowski. But anyways, my loves part of being it until you see it is resting and relaxing. If you cannot, just have some moments where you go with the flow. Take the Day of the Dude as a reminder to, you know, find some simple ways to enjoy life. Brad Crowell 2:52  So hey, we just got back from Cambodia. Lesley Logan 2:54  We did. A couple days ago. Brad Crowell 2:56  It was an amazing trip. We got a chance to hang with some friends who we basically consider family at this point. Take a bunch of people around to see some of our favorite spots, literally in the world, and we want you to join us on our next trip. Come this October 2025 to see our house and see the life that we've built over there, that we welcome you to stay at our place and tour the temples, do some Pilates, meet some elephants. All the things. Go to crowsnestretreats.com crowsnestretreats.com and in a couple ofweeks.Lesley Logan 3:28  Not even a couple of weeks, I think we're, like, about a week-ish, oh, from this coming out, we're on the, we're probably in Denver at this point. Brad Crowell 3:36  Actually, we may be at P.O.T. Lesley Logan 3:38  We're definitely supposed to be rolling in tonight. Brad Crowell 3:41  Yeah. We're driving.Lesley Logan 3:41  So we're in the Aurora area with the van to see our Balanced Body peeps and our P.O.T. attendee people are here to have some fun. Brad Crowell 3:48  No dogs in this trip. Lesley Logan 3:49  No dogs. We're leaving them at home, mostly because.Brad Crowell 3:52  We're gonna be gone for like eight hours, 10 hours a day. It's tough.Lesley Logan 3:54  Yeah, also, easy, if we took one, not so easy if we take two. So no dogs, but we'll be there. Come say hi to us. March 18th to the 24th, the Accessories Flash Card Deck, the final deck, this is it, guys. It's the last one. It's being presaled. I guess that's now a burp on March 18th to the 24th it's going on presale, which means it'll be 30% off its original price. Doesn't mean it will ship to you the next day. It means you get to wait until it ships, but you get to get the best price. It, we do not do this discount again, and so we really, truly hope that you take advantage of it. So go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist because only those on the waitlist will get the invite to get the discount. You will not see this on Instagram. You will not hear about here again. This is it. Then in April 27th through May 3rd, we have a week long spring training. Yes, our own version of a baseball event, but it's with Pilates, and it's with all the OPC teachers and myself. We've got 10 classes planned over seven days, all different time zone. Yes, there's a limited replay. Yes, it's going to be super affordable. And if you go to opc.me/events and get on the waitlist, you will get invited to the early bird price, which is basically stealing this, this amazing event. And if you're OPC member, it's free, but opc.me/events is the wait list for the early bird price. Brad Crowell 5:11  Yeah. And if you are taking money from a client at all in any way, shape or form, that makes you a business owner, congratulations. Even if you don't see yourself as that, you know, even if it's like a side hobby kind of a thing. Technically, you still are a business owner, and I have a free webinar for you that's called the Accelerator webinar. Come join me at prfit.biz/accelerator, where I'm going to be revealing the three biggest secrets that Lesley and I've learned from coaching more than 2500 businesses just like yours over the past seven years through Agency, our coaching program. So join me at prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator. Lesley Logan 5:49  Doesn't that word just make you want to go because it's accelerator. Before we get into Stephan Neff's interview, we have an audience question. Brad Crowell 5:58  Yes, we do. Kara Dowd says, hey, I listened to the podcast. I'm hoping for nuggets of wisdom here, as I am an instructor, wondering the big question of whether I should make the transition to a studio owner. Either way, it's a great podcast. Well, I hope so. What if we told you no, okay, I would still be a good podcast. I'm teasing. Well, thank you for saying that. It's very kind, and we are really glad that you listen. And this is a great question that is really tough for us to answer, because there's a lot of factors involved. That's actually, literally why I host this webinar that we were just talking about. So if you haven't done it yet, Kara, you totally should join me on the Accelerator, where we're talking about, how do we create the right plan for you with your business, because Kara, you have your own goals and your own dreams, and you, choosing to open a studio, it's not like there is one path that you have to take in this career. Every single business owner that we work with has their own desires, their own vision for their business, and we help you sculpt and create that path that allows you to enjoy your business. Because what if you didn't want to open a studio and have the stress of paying rent, and maybe you even have a team and all that's like, what if you're like, why am I doing this? I just want to teach out of my house. You don't need to go open a studio, but you also could, if that was what you wanted to do. Lesley Logan 7:18  But also you could have a studio in an office building, like where the rent is something you could pay in a week of teaching, and so you have the other three weeks for profit and taxes. And because it's in an office building, it's really safe. You don't need anyone else. If you can get the systems in place, you can run it by yourself, like I had a studio by myself. And then our goals changed, and so that studio had to change. My teacher, who I take from, he is solo. So he went from being a renter to actually just open up his own space and doing it himself. So the big transition is, how big is it? It depends. We already have all this equipment. So if we were to transition to a brick and mortar, the big expense is really going to be the building. What do we have to do there? Are we going to buy it? Are we going to just curate it? Are we just going to paint the wall? What are we going to do? So what I would say is actually ask yourself, okay, I have a studio. What does it look like? And make sure you're not picturing someone else's studio. What does your studio look like right now? Like, if I'm picturing, like, what's in our future studio? Like I told Brad, if we're gonna do this again, I really want to have those garage door window doors, for whatever reason I like the idea of an old mechanic shop or some sort of, like old building that looks like it was something else, but now it's this, and I want the higher ceilings. I didn't have high ceilings before. So picture that, and then ask yourself, Is this a studio you are doing by yourself? By the way, you guys, we help people all the time, work by themselves with their own studio, making the money they want to make, and having no extra teacher help. Or do you want to have a big class? Do you like leading people? Do you like managing people? So we can't answer this question on here because we don't know enough about you and what your goals are. And as coaches, one of the things that we're so proud of at Agency is that we actually coach you based on your goals. So we've coached thousands of studios and teachers around the world. And yes, some of the studios have a similar business model, but they all have different goals, and so how they approach what they're doing next depends on that. And so we can't give you a specific answer to your question, but I hope that helps you manifest what you got and then come to the Accelerator event so you can get to know us more and see if we can support you.Brad Crowell 9:19  Yeah, absolutely. Well, stick around. We'll be right back, because we're going to dig in some amazing action items from Stephan Neff. We'll be right back. All right. Now, let's talk about Stephan Neff. He actually says his name, Stefan with the S-C-H-T. Stephan, and I was like, that's really cool. So Stephan Neff is an anesthetist. He's the author of My Steps to Sobriety. He's a speaker, and he's the host of the Neff Inspiration podcast and YouTube channel. With expertise as a functional medicine specialist, a life coach and yoga instructor, Stephan combines his personal journey with professional insights to help others heal from trauma and addiction. Through radical compassion, mindfulness and proven clinical strategies, he empowers people to build emotional resilience and embrace lifelong wellbeing. Lesley Logan 10:10  But he's just so vulnerable. Brad Crowell 10:12  Yes, he really was. Lesley Logan 10:13  And not in like a vulnerable trauma dumping way, like a vulnerable here's what I did, here's how I fucked up, and here's what I learned from it, and here's how I'm changing my life, and here's how you can.Brad Crowell 10:23  Don't be a trauma dumper. Lesley Logan 10:24  People. Well, you know what? Brene Brown in her book talked about vulnerability and shame, right? And she said vulnerability is not like telling everyone, like, all this stuff until they run away from you. So some people. Brad Crowell 10:34  Yeah, then it becomes like a defense mechanism. Lesley Logan 10:37  Lay their stuff on you and see if you run away. His was like, I found myself going, oh my God. How did you get out of that? Oh my God.Brad Crowell 10:43  Yeah, because I think it was within the last three years that. Lesley Logan 10:46  His whole life changed. Brad Crowell 10:47  Yeah, he crashed. Lesley Logan 10:48  I think it's been longer than that, but he's had more changes since then. And so anyways, he said by going through trauma and being forced to change, you get outside of your comfort zone. You get to experience fear. And he was sharing that he had a successful life with a big house, a wife and kids, and on the inside, he was just not a happy person, and he had these unresolved needs, especially in relationships, and he had unhappiness. And then he said, because you are searching for this purpose in your life, you have not yet found and so he basically talked about, when you have these things happen to you, it forces you to actually go figure out your purpose, because you haven't found it yet, until you're kind of in the wrong place. And you know, we've talked about this before on the podcast, taking away someone else's rock bottom is like a terrible thing to do, because they often need it, you know, they need a lesson, or they need the thing so that they can step into the next iteration of themselves. Brad Crowell 11:38  You know, a reflection point. Lesley Logan 11:39  Not that I'm saying that every bad thing that happens to you just go with it, because it's going to be not like the dude, it sucks when these things happen, but also that hardship and pain you go through, you can learn from it. You can discover what you're here to do on this planet from that information and take it on. And it doesn't have to become your story. It becomes part of the story that you're leading.Brad Crowell 11:59  Yeah, it was an intriguing conversation, because definitely, he's very willing to share the experience that he's gone through. He also has written a whole bunch of books, which is pretty cool too. I mean, the dude's a doctor, right? So he likes to write, apparently. The Day of the Dude. We're just gonna see how (inaudible)The Dude is the doctor.Lesley Logan 12:15  The Dude and everything is The Dude. Brad Crowell 12:18  Well, look, this dude really loved what Stephan said. He said, you have to take action in order to live your life, and the harder it gets, the more action you have to take, which we could not agree with more. When you take messy action, it gives you clarity. It helps create that path that we were talking about. He shared when he lost his wife of 27 years, he never allowed himself to feel loss and grief. He didn't allow himself to feel it. And that was not a win. That was like, he was like, oh, wow, okay. And he just kind of bottled it up. And then he said, actually, the thing that triggered it, that tripped it for him, was a song. And he said, suddenly he was like overwhelmed and overcome by the loss and grief that he experienced, and it really was powerful. He said, despite taking many of the right actions, he had neglected to address those deep emotions. And then with that song, he said it was so beautiful to cry, it was so beautiful to feel whole again because, yes, I can feel whole again even after that loss. I can definitely understand that. Thinking back through my divorce, I remember doubting myself thinking, oh, well, I had my shot. I fucked it up. I guess that was it. He's arguing. No, I can feel whole again. Despite this, he also shared many daily practices of journaling. He said those things that I took for granted, you know, they become my wins. They become my wins list. And this is something we've talked about in the past all the way back at the very beginning of this podcast, where we think it is so important to keep a log of the things that are a win in your life, because it's so easy for us to just focus on beating ourselves up and holding these things. I did this. I did that. I hate myself for this and all this stuff, but we never pull out that card and go but despite all these negative emotions that I have that I'm telling myself, all of these other positive things have happened in my life, so it's so helpful to have a journal of those wins. Lesley Logan 14:16  Yeah, I hope people do it. I just want, we want to. I just want wins to happen all the time. Brad Crowell 14:21  You never know when you're gonna need to read that. Lesley and I, we have been encouraging our clients to post their wins. People feel when they first come into our coaching group, they always feel awkward about it, because it feels like you're bragging, right, and you're sharing it to a bunch of people who you don't know. So are you bragging? Right? But the reality is, it has become the most popular channel in our entire group, because you go there and you just feel that things are possible when you read about this amazing things that have happened for other people in other people's life, because they're taking messy action, because they're trying to figure their way through and then amazing things are happening. It's just so inspiring. So you can even inspire yourself. Lesley Logan 15:05  All the way back to Episode Five. We had someone who was talking about how she, like, kept track at the end of her day about her wins. And then we had Alan Stein Jr. somewhere around episode 100-something, and he talked about how at the end of every day he asked himself, what were his wins for the day, and so this podcast celebrates him on Friday. But, my goodness, can you figure out a way to celebrate every day? What did you do? Like, I washed my hair today. Brad Crowell 15:29  That's a win. Lesley Logan 15:29  That's a win. I'm telling you. I have been putting it off for three days. Brad Crowell 15:33  I did mine last night. Lesley Logan 15:34  Yeah, you look so good. You know what? Stop making it difficult to achieve a win in your life, because otherwise, life is already just hard.Brad Crowell 15:42  Yeah, graduating from college, that's definitely a win, no question about it. But it takes years to get to that point when you can finally say, I graduated, right? There are smaller wins along the way that you can definitely take note of.Lesley Logan 15:53  My senior year, one of the counselors used to have a dry erase board that they showed out their window and how I had to walk to class I don't pass this thing. Brad Crowell 16:00  They put a message on it? Lesley Logan 16:01  They put a message on it, and one day it said, every class, every day. And that was like our mantra, to show up to every class every day. We're like, we can do it. Every class, every day. And every day that we went to every class, we're like, oh, let's go get a latte we did it. So Brad, did you know I cut class? I knew exactly how many classes I could miss in a school year to still graduate with my honor. So I was like, I can miss this third period because I haven't missed it in a while, and I can. So anyways, figure out what the wins can be and make them small and achievable so that you actually start to give yourself the confidence. And I love that Stephan shared that with us, because I think we need that reminder. Brad Crowell 16:38  Yeah, all right, so finally, let's talk about those, Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your conversation with Stephan Neff? He explained, for many, gratitude does not come naturally. He said it's a practice, so it's a privilege to be here, be grateful, and practice that. It's a privilege. Then he said the most important bit is to finally stop for a moment and actually try to figure out who you want to be when you grow up. Lesley Logan 17:06  I know, and we're all still growing up, but we're 42 I know someone who's 62 and I was like, oh, that's I have so much time between now and then. Who do I want to be by then? I think it's cool. Brad Crowell 17:15  He said, create that dream in your mind who you actually want to be when you grow up. Change your dream to a vision by becoming very, very, very, very clear. Once you've nailed it down, go to that next feature until your dream has become a very clear vision. Lesley Logan 17:28  I can still hear his lovely accent saying, he's saying that he's so passionate about each of these Be It Action Items. He was so like into this whole section. Brad Crowell 17:35  I know you said New Zealand. I swear I thought he was from Germany. Lesley Logan 17:38  No, he's New Zealand. Brad Crowell 17:39  He's in New Zealand. He mentioned Germany. Lesley Logan 17:42  I know. I'm quite positive because of the time difference. It was like a whole different day. Brad Crowell 17:48  Okay, well, oh yeah, you know what, you mentioned, I think he was traveling to Gisborne. You did mention Gisborne. Lesley Logan 17:57  Gisborne. Brad Crowell 17:58  Gisborne, I don't know how to say it. Lesley Logan 18:00  Gisborne. I don't think the R is as emphasized as we do it. Brad Crowell 18:06  Emphasized.Lesley Logan 18:06  So anyways, emphasized. Brad Crowell 18:07  Yes, it's the place that they have the first light of the day every day. What about you? Let's get back to our Be It Action Items here. Lesley Logan 18:15  My biggest takeaway was give yourself a hug and spend 15 seconds with yourself after. So, let's do that.Brad Crowell 18:23  Yeah, let's do it right now. Lesley Logan 18:24  Close your eyes.Brad Crowell 18:25  So his hug was like, pretend you can bear hug yourself. So the biggest wrap around your shoulders that you could possibly do, and we're closing our eyes and we're going to do 15 seconds here. Lesley Logan 18:35  Squeeze hard as you can and tell yourself I love you. So, ready? Squeeze. I love you. I love you. 1001, 1002, 1003, do we hug? Do we stop hugging after 15 seconds? Or do we hug and then we spend 15 seconds?Brad Crowell 18:49  Just hug yourself. Lesley Logan 18:50  Okay, well, I'm trying to. Brad Crowell 18:51  Just hug. Just hug. Two, one, awesome. He said he's super good. He's known for giving bear hugs to his friends, but he realized he never gives a bear hug to himself, and I just got chills. I literally just got chills right now. Lesley Logan 19:08  I feel so good. I feel like I could end the day. It feels amazing. So. Brad Crowell 19:12  He said accept who you are, squeeze as hard as you can and tell yourself I love you.Lesley Logan 19:16  Okay, everyone, let us know if you gave yourself a hug.

Ethan Cohen, A.K.A. Rabbi Dude, is a comedian and a poet working in Chicago, Illinois! Ethan is one of those guys where the gears are constantly turning in his head. There's always an idea ready to come out of him. His poetry books are a prime example of this, offering countless pages filled with his latest creations. His comedy is one in the same, with stories upon stories to tell. Catch him live sometime if you'd like to see what I mean.

Hey Dudes, In this sermon, I'm talking about the liberating art of Not Giving a F#ck, or Not Caring so Much, whatever preferred nomenclature you would like to use. Sometimes we care too much or expect too much and this seems to lead to disappointment. Now, the Dudeist motto is to "Take it Easy" so not giving a f#ck is really down our alley. I follow the steps of a Buddhist fellow who has developed a practice that is broken down into 8 steps... or was it 9? Anyway, these tools may help you to make your life more enjoyable and even more pleasant. Take a listen, dudes.  (This is part of an online ministry of Dudeism.)  -RPK

Throw on your dingiest Pendleton sweater and jelly shoes, pour yourself a White (or Black) Russian, and throw on some Eagles Greatest Hits while Gina and Sonia discuss The Big Lebowski. We get into Dudeism, the genius of the Coen brothers, and the merits of John Goodman.

This episode I'm going over 10 teachings of Taoism, the foundation from which Dudeism arises. I talk a little about my personal dating life and such, as well as what I am doing on old Valentine's Day... seeing a counselor. But I think one will see what Taoism and Dudeism have in common and bring together those teachings. The art of peace is not an easy path, unless you abide. -PK

We are living in a new age of religious persecution and even martyrdom.OPEN DOORS WORLD WATCH LIST 2024More than 365 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. There has never been a state in the geographic area known as Palestine that was not Jewish. Israel is the third Jewish state to exist in that area. There was never an Arab state, never a Palestinian state, never a Muslim or any other state. That's the issue: why can't the one Jewish state the size of El Salvador be allowed to exist? The Persecution of the Church first started in Acts 5 We obey God not men. When the government gets to the point where it persecutes the Church the Church must stay faithful to its mission.The Lord will accomplish his purposes and His will through whatever political movement. On a moral level, you have no moral right to promote a non-religion that is specifically directed at hatred of Christians. That's exactly what this is. Now, you may have a legal right to do that, but that's not the same thing as a moral right to do it. These are two different types of right. We have all sorts of legal rights to do things that are immoral in American Society. So, we have to separate those two things off because very often when we were talking about rights, we tend to conflate them. We tend to think something is legal, therefore it's moral, or it's moral, therefore it's legal. No, that's not the same thing. It is legal to use foul language or even racist speech in public, for example. It is immoral to do so. You should not. Similarly, it is not immoral to knock down a satanic statue. It may be illegal to do so, but it certainly is not immoral.From WikipediaDudeism is a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle inspired by "The Dude", the protagonist of the Coen Brothers' 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Dudeism's stated primary objective is to promote a modern form of Chinese Taoism, outlined in Tao Te Ching by Laozi (6th century BCE), blended with concepts from the Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–270 BCE), and presented in a style as personified by the character of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a fictional character portrayed by Jeff Bridges in the film.Dudeism has sometimes been regarded as a mock religion due to its use of comedic film references and occasional criticism of religion in its traditional sense, but its founder and many adherents take the underlying philosophy somewhat (although not overly) seriously. March 6 is the annual sacred high holy day of Dudeism: The Day of the Dude.

Film writer, editor, and podcaster Jake Tropila joins from Los Angeles to discuss the Coen Brothers' 1998 comedy 'The Big Lebowski', starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though middlingly received both critically and commercially upon release, the film has gone on to become a genuine cult classic, launching a cottage industry of fan screenings, conventions, and even a religion.We discuss the film's patchwork of influences, including larger-than-life characters withing the Coens' orbit and the works of author Raymond Chandler, especially as adapted by Robert Altman for his 1973 film 'The Long Goodbye'. Then we discuss the film's unrivaled cast, including a superb John Goodman, who turns in an awards-caliber performance as the gun-toting, militant bowling enthusiast Walter Sobchak. Finally, we discuss the film's windy, inarticulable plot, and the way that its mechanics might conceal a deeper level of criticism about the sociopolitical landscape of America on the eve of The End of History.

On this episode Rebecca and I talk about the necessity of balancing exertion and recuperation, and how we could all gain wisdom, perspective, and happiness from simply mastering the art of chilling out and going with the flow more often. We'll talk about the 1997 cult hit The Big Lebowski and some of our favorite things about it, and the philosophy behind "Dudeism" that sprang from it. Is there something that can be learned from this absurdist movie and its teachings? Is it a sustainable life philosophy this day and age, living in highly demanding, divisive, and modern times?! At the end of the day, sometimes we have to search to find perspective, wisdom, humor, and having the patience and tenacity to endure when the world is taking and rarely ever giving. Life success is possible, and we feel that sometimes "less is more" when you're trying to achieve in this life. That there's a grace to life success, health, fitness, mental health and robust living. Let's talk about it! Enjoy the show!https://linktr.ee/chefbrycomedyChef Bry Comedy | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook | Linktree Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey Dudes, this episode I am pulling straight from the "Abide Guide" and telling you about 15 of the 30 something teachings from the Dudeism founders, Oliver Benjamin and Dwayne Eutsey.

Hey dudes, since I talked about grief last week, I'm going all in on Depression; what is it? what are the signs and symptoms? and what can we do about it? I also talk about my search to make some decent merch and how I'm trying to take it easy in this crazy world since the loss of my Special Lady Friend, man.

This week we travel from bowling alleys to rug thefts with Reverend Gary Silvia as he tackles two monumental task. Trying to explain the movie "The Big Lebowski" and the Dudeist religion that come from it all to me. I could not think of a better guy to break it all down. Because, what started out as a fun thing to honor a chill movie has turned into quite a movement that has been at the forefront of Zen culture and even gay marriage. I expect to talk about something created a bit in jest, but found something that whether you dig it or not is the most serious, non-serious religion out there with a lot of great things to teach us!

Today we talk to Gary from the church of the Dude, as he explains Dudeism.

Bezrobotny czterdziestokilkuletni były hipis Jeffrey Lebowski, bohater filmu „The Big Lebowski” autorstwa braci Coen, żyje sobie spokojnie w swoim skromnym bungalowie na przedmieściach LA, gdzie pewnej nocy zostaje napadnięty przez dwóch zbirów. Żądają pieniędzy należnych producentowi porno o nazwisku Jackie Treehorn, twierdząc, że żona Lebowskiego nie spłaciła znacznej pożyczki. Jest to typowa komedia omyłek, gdyż szybko okazuje się, że jest jeszcze inny Jeffrey Lebowski, milioner, którego żona jest winna Treehornowi pieniądze. Jednak jeden z wynajętych bandziorów oddaje mocz na orientalny dywan Lebowskiego. Dude, jak lubi siebie nazywać Lebowski uważa to za poważne przewinienie, ponieważ czuje, że ten dywan naprawdę „dopełniał jego pokój”. Jak się okazuje, to właśnie ten dywan, zniszczony moczem wprawia w ruch nieprawdopodobny łańcuch wydarzeń. Lebowski (który woli być nazywany Dude , po polsku Kolesiem), próbuje nakłonić drugiego Jeffreya Lebowskiego-milionera do zwrotu kosztów dywanu.Ten najpierw odmawia, a następnie postanawia zatrudnić Kolesia do pomocy w odzyskaniu jego żony, Bunny, która wydaje się być porwana przez bandytów Treehorna. „Koleś” prosi o pomoc kumpla od kręgli Waltera (granego przez Johna Goodmana), który jest weteranem z Wietnamu, o czym przypomina wszystkim przy każdej okazji. Wspólnie wplątują się w coenowską czarną komedię pomyłek, wymuszeń, moralnej degeneracji, oszustw, przemocy, seksu i narkotyków. Jest to historia na wskroś absurdalna i wydawałoby się że, jak na mój gust nieciekawa.Co takiego sprawiło, że film pt. „Big Lebowski”, słynnych Braci Cohen, po latach zyskał status kultowej produkcji?Kto, gdzie i dlaczego zapoczątkował religię nazwie Dudeism?Czego o życiu może nas nauczyć Dude, czyli Koleś, główny bohater filmu?Czy Dude był stoikiem, czy zwykłym „przegrywem życiowym”?Jaka jest filozofia kościoła wyznawców Dudeizmu?Czy Dudę osiągnął szczęście?Co trzeba zrobić, by żyć jak Dude?Na te i nie pytania staram się odpowiedzieć w tym odcinku.Zapraszam do słuchania mnie na Spotify lub w odtwarzaczu poniżej.

On Cock & Bull today, we are joined by Punit, Harsh & Meghnad. Today Cyrus opens by sharing another valuable gift to the world, the word - ballo. A combination of the two words - bye & hello. According to him, ballo can be used in situations where people are in a hurry and have to say both bye & hello at the same time. With such gifts, Cyrus has been saving time since Independence. In the show: the panelists discuss how cuss words are spoken in different languages, overpowered Yogis & Babas, and the followers of the Dudeism religion. Also, Cyrus showcases his mastery over different accents, without sounding inappropriate, of course. Topics discussed by the panel were:- Bihar political crisis - JD(U) shift likely to change Rajya Sabha math.- Sant Rampal devotees peddle crazy claims, saying Chhat Puja celebrations are against the scriptures, and Gita prohibits fasts.- A Kolkata professor alleges that the university forced her to quit over IG posts.- 'Education, healthcare not freebies' - AAP tells Supreme Court.Tune in for this and much more!Check out Cyrus Says merch:ivm.today/3PLKo1mJoin the Cyrus Says fan created Discord Server: https://discord.gg/BMNJ3ftkMmYou can follow Punit on Instagram at @punitpaniaYou can follow Harsh on Instagram at @travel_somedayYou can follow Meghnad on Instagram at @meghnadsStream the podcast on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & Google PodcastsDo send in AMA questions for Cyrus by tweeting them to @cyrussaysin or emailing them at whatcyrussays@gmail.comDon't forget to follow Cyrus Broacha on Instagram @cyrus_broacha (https://www.instagram.com/cyrus_broacha)In case you're late to the party and want to catch up on previous episodes of Cyrus Says you can do so at: www.ivmpodcasts.com/cyrussaysYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcasts App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios

Wait a minute. A thumbs down for The Big Lebowski? And from our host, a man who has gone on record calling the Coens among his top favourite filmmakers. What's the friggin' deal here? Well, guess that's just his opinion, man. Or could it just simply be that Ruud is stretching a small personal gripe very thin, just so he can let a real Dudeist vibe for an hour plus? Whichever it is, the guest of this show is none other than Scottish comedian Billy Kirkwood. On the Utrecht International Comedy Festival he performed a show called Watch Bad Dutch Movies With Great Comedians. Where Ruud was, yes, the face of Bad Dutch movies. But Billy is also an ordained minister of Dudeism, and sports some themed body-art. So, if you're into bowling hippies knocking back white russians, just step on this rollercoaster of classic movie quoting. And if you get angry, and you want to threaten our host with cutting off his johnson, because of something he says along the way, that's alright. The Rude abides.

Call him The Dude, His Dudeness, El Duder, or even El Duderino (if you're not into the whole brevity thing). Whatever you call Jeff Bridge's loveable hipster hero in The Big Lebowski, he's certainly become a cinematic icon. This episode, Kerri Jones joins the show to help us break down the ethos of The Dude, what it has to say about the culture (and counter-culture), and why so many fans seem ready and willing to convert to Dudeism. SYNOPSIS Jeff "The Dude" Leboswki (Jeff Bridges) is mistaken for Jeffrey Lebowski (Charles Durning), who is The Big Lebowski. In search of justice, The Dude tracks down his namesake, who offers him a job. His wife (Tara Reid) has been kidnapped, and he needs a reliable bagman. Aided and hindered by his pals Walter Sobchak (John Goodman), a Vietnam vet, and Donny (Steve Buscemi). Connect with Crooked Table Productions on social media: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram

Hey dude, I put together a quick bit about what Dudeism by reading from "The Abide Guide: Living Like Lebowski" book. I talk about how things we believe change and that learning teaches us to expand our minds and understand more about our world. Or something like that. Anyway, had a lot of computer problems but I finally got this one up and running. Hope you listen and learn something new.

It seems appropriate to the character of the Dude that “The Big Lebowski” took its time finding its audience. Coming fresh on the heels of their first Oscar-winning hit, “Fargo,” the Coen Brothers' 7th film had a strange sense of humor, felt disjointed, was full of swearing, and didn't connect with audiences or critics, who were all largely left scratching their heads. But time was on the side of the movie as people continued to discover it, turning it into a much-loved cult classic — with its own annual festival even. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Coen Comedy series with 1998's “The Big Lebowski.” Pete contemplates why it still doesn't work for him completely, and Andy talks about why it works for him and tries to convince Pete of its brilliance. We discuss the characters depicted in this story and highlight what each of the performers brings to the role, most notably Jeff Bridges. We talk about some of the production team — Roger Deakins and Carter Burwell in particular — and discuss what they bring to the table. And we chat about how the movie has taken on a life of its own, leading to the annual Lebowski Fest, the religion of Dudeism and countless research papers and websites analyzing the intricacies of this film. We're a bit split on the film but in a way, that really ties the conversation together. Check it out!* * *Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes!
