Greetings Heathens! In today's episode of Talk Heathen, Johnny P Angel is joined by Jmike. Johnny, keep growing that beard, it is the beard show you know. Just kidding,Let's get to calls! Michael from Canada asks if we think he is irrational for believing in a diety. He goes on to argue with Jmike about empirical evidence and the presup nonsense about being cut off when being held to task. Hey Michael don't be passive aggressive, you are not being cut off or interrupted, Jmike is having an honest conversation with you.Joe in Virginia is up next, he is curious about the design argument and how do we know if something is designed. Designed by what or who exactly? Jmike asks: Joe, have you ever seen a God design something?Returning caller Otangelo in Brazil, wants to present his 4 premises that explain the fundamental forces of the universe (including the fine-tuning argument) and whether we accept them. Johnny responds with: Life, the universe, and everything. (The answer is 42!) Oooooh, fun with Otangelo. I look forward to hearing Jmike deconstruct these premises.Laura in the UK is asking about how we get laws in place to avoid childhood indoctrination within religions and cults. A couple of the first things we can do is to educate ourselves, email and call political representatives, and contacting and volunteering with the Freedom from Religion Foundation. There is a grey area here though, as personal freedoms and limits can play a part in enacting a law if it is passed.Micheal in California is wondering if religion provides a sound basis for people to overcome their shortcomings. Ok, how?? Please show your work with examples or evidence that this is the case.CJ in California is wondering about the hosts' beliefs, that there is a snake that surrounds the Earth, and how violence is increasing due to society's turn from God. Interesting claim, can you back it up? And not from your personal video, we are not here to promote your channel dude.That's our show for this week, please continue to be safe in your area and please get vaccinated if you can.

I could tell Stephen Baird was going to be successful when I first met him at a TAXI Road Rally more than a dozen years ago. He was immediately likable, willing to work hard, and he was wearing a bright green T-shirt that read, “CARRIES NO CA$H.” He came to the Rally, asked the right questions, saw what his path needed to be, and then he got busy. VERY busy! No job was too big or small. No work day was too long. Stephen became a Six-Figure Composer faster than most because he worked harder than most! His music is in a ton of catalogs, and I have little doubt that it’s heard on TV every day of the year. Probably, all over the world! Here’s another reason I like Stephen so much – he’s a class act. While the majority of TAXI members who land deals and placements often forget to tell us when our work helps them get a deal or a placement, Steve Baird takes the time to write letters like this… Hey Michael, I joined TAXI in September of 2007 with nothing more than Reason 2.5 and an old Roland keyboard from the 1980's. Until joining TAXI, I knew nothing about the Film/TV/Advertising market. Actually, I was quite the newbie. Now, nearly 5 years later, I'm in my second year of making a full-time living writing for TV shows, commercials, promos, and movie trailers. Nearly every penny I have made can be traced back to TAXI. Either directly through a forward, or indirectly through people I have met at the Road Rally or on the TAXI forum. I'm really quite ecstatic with the way things have turned out. Not only am I making as much or more money than most of my friends, but I'm doing so via a career that I have dreamed about since I was a child. If it wasn't for TAXI, I wouldn't have a music career. I can't even imagine what my life would be like right now. So, I'd just like to thank you for offering such a great service to aspiring musicians, composers, artists, and bands. Not just for the opportunities offered through the listings, but for creating such a great environment for musicians to learn and grow. You've definitely changed my life, and for that, I am forever grateful. -Steve I think that letter is a great example of one of the 7 Habits of Successful Composers: expressing gratitude to those who have helped you on the way up. I have never forgotten how that letter made me feel when I first read it. But, expressing gratitude is just one of the 7 habits, and I’m going to ask Steve to let you know what the other 6 habits are on this week’s TAXI TV. There’s a lot to be learned from this young man, and you’ll only be cheating yourself by forgetting to watch the live show on Monday at 4pm (PDT).

A: Hey Michael, do you have any brothers or sisters?  B: Yes, I have 3 sisters but no brothers.  A: 3 sisters?! How old are they?  B: Well, the oldest is twenty-three. The second oldest is twenty-one. And the youngest is nineteen. I'm the only boy in my family.  A: That's interesting! B: Yeah, they say I'm the most spoiled in the family. A: Do you agree with them? A: No way!

On this episode the gang is back to heart of it. Matt Redman style. We discuss the finer things. I don't think anyone reads these so if you comment on an Instagram post and say "Hey Michael! I read them!"

Hey Michael, welcome to the podcast. Michael Cart: 00:38 Hey John. Thanks for having me. How are you doing? John Haggard: 00:40 I’m doing great man. I appreciate your taking the time to, to talk with us. You know, finances is a big, big deal in everybody’s life, whether it’s a car, whether it’s a house, you know, buying furniture, it’s just a big thing and looking forward to talking about that. But before we do, just to get to know you a little bit better, are you from this area? Did you grow up in Gallatin? Michael Cart: 00:59 I actually grew up in a Sumner county. I grew up in White House, Tennessee. So I’m local. I’m from White House and now me and my wife, we live in Gallatin. Just five, 10 minutes down from work. So it’s real nice, I like it here. John Haggard: 01:13 So you’ve been here all your life, you didn’t move away. You’ve always been here? Michael Cart: 01:17 Yeah. Correct. John. Yep, born and raised. Yes sir. John Haggard: 01:20 Okay. And so where did you go to high school? Michael Cart: 01:23 I went to school in White House, Tennessee. So White House High School. John Haggard: 01:27 White House High School. Okay. And was that school, did it have any special area of learning? You know, like some cities have a space program, like if they’re in Florida or whatever. Michael Cart: 01:37 Ha ha ha! John Haggard: 01:37 No? You’re laughing! Michael Cart: 01:40 No, unfortunately. White House is a small town. So you know, I think that they’re special learning was, what do you call it? They have like FFA, like Future Farmers of America. But nothing for like a space program though. John Haggard: 01:53 Gotcha. Well if you’re from here, you must have family here as well. Michael Cart: 01:58 Yeah, I do. My mom’s side of the family is from Springfield, Tennessee and my dad’s side of the family is from Nashville, Tennessee. And my mom and dad, they still live in White House and we got family all over the place in Nashville and in White House in Springfield, just surrounding counties. John Haggard: 02:14 Yeah. So any of them in the car business? Michael Cart: 02:17 No, not at all. First one in the family in the car business. Yeah. John Haggard: 02:21 First one in the family. All right. So once you got out of high school, did you do college as well or did you just elect to go ahead and work early? Michael Cart: 02:29 Yeah, so I went to, after high school I went to college right away. And, you know, as a young adult you’re deciding, you either I want to go to college, I want to go to work. And while I was in college, I was really trying to figure out what I wanted to do. And at the time I was working for, you know, like a local drug store. And I was in between jobs cause I quit the drugstore. I was getting ready to go back to school. And right before school started I said, “You know what, let me let me get into car sales.” I don’t know why I was, you know, thinking that. But I was just thinking, “Hey I’ll try sales, car sales is good.” I was, you know, googling “good jobs without having to finish college” and it said try sales. So I said, “You know, I’ll, do car sales.” And I got a job in doing, selling cars. And I’ve been doing it since, what does 2011, 12? So, I’ve been doing it for a while, I guess. John Haggard: 03:13 So when you’re not working at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, what do you like to do on your time off? Michael Cart: 03:20 Me and my the wife, we just have a little newborn and around Monday be turning a month old. And so.. John Haggard: 03:26 Wow! Congratulations! Michael Cart: 03:28 Oh thanks John. Really just work and then go home. And take care of the family, you know? John Haggard: 03:32 Yeah. So are you, let’s see, one month, are you getting any sleep? Are you up every two hours? What’s going on there? Michael Cart: 03:39 No. I actually, I get plenty of sleep. My wife doesn’t really get a whole lot of sleep. She’s, she she really helps out a lot. During the work week, she gets up every night, but on Sundays I’m off on Saturday, so I’m on Sundays. So on Saturday night I’ll, you know, stay up late with the baby, usually gets up on her at like around 3am and then we’ll feed him and he goes back to sleep. But he’s pretty good. John Haggard: 04:00 Oh, that’s pretty good. You know, some are up every hour and a half to two. Some will sleep maybe three or four hours. So it sounds like you are getting a little bit of sleep anyway. Michael Cart: 04:08 Yeah, I am. She’s not. Ha ha! John Haggard: 04:09 Yeah, I got ya. What a great wife, I got to tell you that. Michael Cart: 04:13 Yeah, I’m lucky. Yeah. John Haggard: 04:15 So what about favorite hobbies? Maybe from childhood that you are still doing today? Or maybe some new hobbies that are going on. Michael Cart: 04:23 My main thing that I do is try to figure out how I can better my family and my life. So here recently, I’ve been doing lot of like you know, reading and I’ve been trying to read about how to invest. And so that’s kind of my hobby right now, just reading and learning. John Haggard: 04:40 Gotcha. So what was your very first job? Michael Cart: 04:45 First job? Let’s see. I want to say maybe Pizza Hut, I might’ve been a cook at Pizza Hut, I think? No, actually my first job I worked at a grocery store. So there’s to be this grocery store right down the street from the house where I grew up in White House. I think It’s called the Al’s Food Value or something. And I was like, I bagged the groceries and I put the groceries in the, on the shelves and I hated it. (laughs) John Haggard: 05:10 (Laughs) It’s tough work, I have to tell you, it is. So what brought you to Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. There are a lot of car dealers out there. How did you wind up there? Michael Cart: 05:19 Actually, I was working for another dealership and I was in the market for Jeep. So I said, well let me go to Jeep or Miracle jeep and buy cars as close to the house. And whenever I got here, I was talking to Mark Ledford, the general sales manager, and he offered me a job and him and Tim kind of rolled the dice and I didn’t have any finance experience and they kind of rolled the dice and took a chance on me. And the [inaudible] Finance School and they hired me and trained me and I’ve been here for I guess, you know, two, three years now. So I really appreciate that. John Haggard: 05:51 Yeah. What do you think it was? I mean, cause that’s kind of rare. Did you do personality testing and all that type of thing? What was that like? How do you just sort of come to buy a Jeep and end up with a job? Michael Cart: 06:01 Well I was in sales before I was. I’ve been doing sales for a while. But I was working for another brand and you know, Mark said he needs someone, you should come work for us. I said, “Well, I’ll come work for you if you could give me a management position.” You know, maybe Financer. That they also what they called Desk Managers. And he said they had a spot opened up and they interviewed me and, you know, sent me a call and rolled the dice, I guess. John Haggard: 06:22 As a Finance Manager, what does your typical day look like? Michael Cart: 06:25 So mainly my job is to make sure whenever there are customers buying a car. John Haggard: 06:31 So as the Finance Manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Michael, what is your typical day look like? Michael Cart: 06:39 Yes. So typically what I’ll do, I’m, the first thing I’ll do John in the morning, I’ll come in, I check my computer, check my email, see if anybody’s calling me or if they have any questions about a vehicle that they just purchased. Usually I have too, I’d say it’s called funding. Sometimes the bank needs like a copy of the customer’s like driver’s license or something. I have to make sure that they receive the documents and make sure everything was signed and dotted correctly. You know, my job is really just to make sure all the paperwork is filled out correct when the customer is here. So whenever the, we send the contract to the bank, we can get the money right away. So there’s no problem with our accounting office and, you know, we can keep doing business in a smooth way. John Haggard: 07:14 When you talk about finance, people have this choice and it’s just been around for years. You see it advertised on television or hear about it on radio or see it on the Internet, wherever it might be. Is it a better deal to finance with a dealer or go get outside financing from a bank or a credit union? Tell us about that. Michael Cart: 07:35 That’s a good question. So I hear a lot of the time, “I have been pre-approved through my bank, through my credit union.” Well a lot of times the manufacturer they put on incentives. So Chrysler is owned by Chrysler Capital – that’s the name of our bank. So they’ll say, hey, if you buy a Ram or a Chrysler or a Dodge or Jeep, we’ll give you free money basically for finance. It’s called a rebate. So you get a rebate for financing through Chrysler. But I’ve seen customers also too that had been doing business with a like a credit union. And we do so many business with banks and we also have credit unions. We have that were 50 banks that we work with. But let’s say you know, I’ve had a customer says, “Hey, I’ve been preapproved to my credit union.” Okay, perfect. What was the rate they gave you? You know, sometimes it’ll be like 6% or 7%. And a lot of times, I can beat the rate that they get from their bank or their credit union because we just do so much business, more volume through banks and credit unions. You know, you might do a loan once they, you know, once every five years you might buy a car. We do loans every single day, so I have more volume so I get a better interest rate than the customer can get a lot of times through their bank or their credit union. Does that make sense? I explained that… John Haggard: 08:42 It does, yeah! Absolutely. Michael Cart: 08:42 So a lot of times I can beat the rate, but you know, sometimes I can’t. And you know, we want what’s best for the customers. So if they can get a better rate, perfect. But if I can get a better rate, you know, save the customer some money, that’s obviously going to be the better way to go. You know? John Haggard: 08:57 Well, you know what you see also TV commercials, especially these days that talk about getting approved online in minutes, you know? Does that, does it really work that way? I mean, in minutes, you go to a website, boom bam! You’re approved here, walk in, take this piece of paper, buy what you want up to x amount of money. Michael Cart: 09:14 Yeah, pretty much! It’s really easy. Also, if you go on our website on this, there’s a tab that says get financing. You m go on there. You put in your information, your name, address, social, birthday, everything. And then you pick out which car and then you click on the car. Then you can say, Hey, I want my payment to be 500, 600 bucks a month and it’ll just calculate how much money you need to put now and based on the credit to get there. And then you just come in and fill out the paperwork and it’s really easy. John Haggard: 09:37 So it really, it doesn’t take long at all to get financed. You hear these stories from some people. Well, you know, I went to this dealer and, you know, hung around half a day, all day and went to another dealer and took three or four days to get a deal put together. But it’s not really typically that way. Michael Cart: 09:53 Not really. Where you get people that sit around at dealerships a lot of time is really with, don’t know if you’ve heard the term subprime lending. People that are subprime need subprime lending. And we actually have a special finance department that specializes in that. Really with people that are prime borrowers. It doesn’t take that long. It’s instantly approved. But if you’re subprime, you need steps, like proof of residence, a proof of income like paycheck stubs and the bank wants a lot more information. So we actually specialize in that too. There’s another guy that works here. His name’s Rich Craycroft. He’s been doing it a long time and he specializes in helping people obtain subprime loans especially the bankruptcy. Tennessee’s like the number one bankruptcy state in the southeast. So we, we do actually do get a lot of, a lot of customers need help in that area. We do, we do all types. You know, we do all types of prime, subprime, you know, anything. We help out everybody. John Haggard: 10:43 And Tennessee is the number one state in the southeast for bankruptcy. Michael Cart: 10:48 Yeah. John Haggard: 10:49 Is there one question that customers ask a lot or, or maybe one or two questions that you’re always asked that would really kind of clear up confusion about financing or the process? Michael Cart: 11:01 I wouldn’t really say there’s a question. I have to say there’s more of a, a concern. I would say that people feel like, you know, maybe I should go to my credit union. They don’t feel like the dealership’s being more transparent. But Miracle, you know, the Miracle Automotive Group, they’ve been in business for a long time and they’ve built that off of being transparent and customer service. And Mr Galvin, Sr. has instilled that in the community. So, you know, we have to be really transparent and upfront to, you know, keep people coming back here and trusting us in doing business with them. Cause it’s, you know, the second business, second biggest purchase, they’ll ever make. So we want them to feel safe and, you know, no concern, no worry. We want them to know what they’re getting into. John Haggard: 11:40 So Miracle Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and also Miracle Ford, two dealerships just almost right next to each other, they are family owned. And so what is it like the atmosphere, you know, a lot of are big, you know, I guess you would say big corporate conglomerates and so forth. What’s different or what’s neat? What makes you get up and want to go to work at Miracle? Michael Cart: 11:55 The really cool thing about Miracle is that it is family owned, like you said. Well, what that means is, we’re really heavily involved in the community. I’m like, I don’t know if you know, but Jeep has pretty much like a big like cult following. So does Mopar. Like these guys that buy the Jeep, they’re in these clubs and people that buy the Mopars, like the Dodge’s, they have like the Mopar Club in Nashville and things. And so what we do, we actually have like Jeep meets and have car shows at our dealership. And so we try to stay involved with the local community that way. Michael Cart: 12:36 Also just being known around the for good, excellent customer service around here and community involvement, which we just want to know people, you know, hey, they can trust us and you know, why they should do business with us is because you know, we’re involved in the community. We’re not just here to sell them a car. We’re here for them and in the long run. John Haggard: 12:55 Is there any question I did not ask you that, you know, you would just want people to know? Michael Cart: 13:02 Yeah, absolutely. We just started this program in August. It’s really big and we’re really excited about it. So basically what it is, the customer gets that at no cost to them, no charge to them. The dealership pays for it. It’s a lifetime power training warranty for as long as they own the vehicle. They’re also gonna get 72-hour investment protection program. They’re going to get a free loaner car whenever they come and a vacation checkup for two years and a 5% off parts and service. Also started in August whenever we started this program, you can upgrade to what’s called the VIP Platinum Advantage. Instead of getting emergency roadside assistance, like you’ll get an emergency processes for five years, you’ll get key five replacement for five years time. We’ll protect you for five years, 10% off service instead of 5% off service, which is actually can be huge when you start thinking about a big service building, you know 10% off compared to 5% off. And also a, you’ll get like a free concierge service. So if you live with like 15 miles, we’ll come pick up your car for oil changes and tire rotations and things like that. But something that we also offer in the business office, instead of doing like a power training warranty, you can upgrade to like a comprehensive extended service contracts so you can do just unlimited. Was it unlimited time up to a hundred thousand miles? Or, you can cover the comprehensive, not just engine and transmission, but we do offer the instant transmission at no cost to the customer, which is really good. John Haggard: 14:24 Thanks Michael.

How do you run your day job and side hustle? And how do you convert theater acting to film acting? Hi and welcome to episode 29 of #PitchChris where you guys ask me questions about the entertainment business and I answer them for you. To ask me a question find me on social media at Chris DeBlasio #PitchChris they'll be happy to answer all the questions you guys have. Let's get started. This first question comes from Michael. Let's see what Michaels got. -Hey Chris, Michael DeMaria here from Gulf Breeze Florida on the Emerald Coast. I am a filmmaker and actor here just back from LA and I'm looking to connect with others, possibly to do a web series. And finding other like-minded to cast and crew that might be interested in doing something like a web series. So, I know about Mandy.com Actors Access but I'm interested in other options if you know of any. Thanks so much, have a great day. Hey Michael, so Gulf Breeze Florida is not far from my old stomping ground, Panama City Beach in Destin 30A area. Really do miss those sunsets! So yes you do have Actors Access you have Mandy.com but there's another thing that you can use is social media. If you go on social media you could actually go directly to a director, look at their work and see if it's somebody that you want to work with. See if they might want to collaborate with you on your web series. That would be a great way that you can actually start networking with a director or somebody in the business and leveraging social media. Because if you leverage social media you'll be able to start accessing talent that you may not be able to find a project or something that fits on say Mandy or say Actors Access. You're able to find somebody directly and build a relationship. And what I say all the time

1- Michael Sam is gay but it’s the NFL execs that are punks 2- Hey Michael, please assault someone to prove you belong 3- Media accuses media of media circus during media circus 4- MSNBC, stop it 5- Repubs can't create laws while busy creating fake websites 6- Hello Florida, living to grow up is a basic human right, stand on that
