Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-116-tim-riley-the-economist-years-part-1Episode #116 features legendary copywriter, creative leader and man of many pithy award-winning words, Tim Riley.Tim, who was one of our first ever guests back in 2020, returned to draw back the curtain on his 12 years working on the same brief: The Economist.It was a fascinating chat where we heard about any and everything to do with possibly the greatest billboard campaign of all time. We're aware we have featured it many times, but this really was the full reveal of ‘white out of red'.We discussed the history of how the client came to Abbott Mead Vickers and very nearly left before any ads had been made. We heard about the early years which featured one or two nice ads, but no real campaign to speak of. And then a moment of genius from David Abbott, who spotted the masthead of the magazine was the same pro as a 48 sheet poster and the rest is history.We heard about Tim's job interview with David Abbott, his first ever Economist ad, rules for writing Economist ads, why Richard Foster & John Horton were so important, tricks learnt along the way, special build ideas, ideas that worked, ideas that didn't work, fuck ups, rejected ideas, minimalist ideas, ideas involving rappers, Presidents and a Middle Eastern country with a 3.3% growth rate. And bizarrely how Homer Simpson v nearly made it onto an Economist billboard.There were so many new things to hear, so much to learn, so much to admire on how a brilliant campaign like this is built to last. There was so much of everything we have made it a two-parter. To be honest we could've done parts 3 and 4 … hmm now there's an idea.For now, sit back and enjoy the dulcet tones of Tim and the more gruff ones of Dan & Hugh.Tim, thank you so much for sharing this incredible story. We loved it, esp the fancy video screen in our temporary new studio, which bathed us in white out of red.Thanks to all our sponsors, who make the show possible:Bauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

'Contacto Sangriento (1988): Van Damme, su formidable trasero y el gran hombre de Vitruvio

Par-Impar

Los críticos de esRadio repasan los secretos y anécdotas de la mítica cinta de lucha de 1988 protagonizada por la estrella belga. En una nueva entrega del programa Par-Impar, charlamos con el periodista y escritor Lorenzo Ayuso sobre su obra titulada Van Damme: El hombre de Vitruvio, publicada por Unión Editorial. Este libro es un profundo y serio análisis enciclopédico sobre la trayectoria cinematográfica del actor belga Jean-Claude Van Damme, alejándose del tono de parodia que a menudo rodea al actor para reivindicar su importancia dentro del cine de acción de las décadas de los ochenta y noventa. Y lo hacemos a través de uno de sus primeros éxitos: la película Contacto Sangriento. El núcleo de la conversación gira en torno a los inicios de la carrera de Van Damme y su estrecha relación con la mítica productora Cannon Films, liderada por Menachem Golan e Yoram Globus. Se detalla la famosa anécdota de cómo el actor consiguió llamar la atención de Golan dándole una patada por encima de la cabeza en la entrada de un restaurante. Asimismo, se desvela el engaño que realizó el belga al asegurar que era el villano principal de la película Depredador, ocultando que había sido despedido, lo que facilitó que consiguiera el papel protagonista en la emblemática cinta de artes marciales Contacto Sangriento. Los participantes del programa analizan la capacidad de Van Damme para convertirse en el mejor narrador de su propia vida. Según explica el autor del libro, el intérprete belga ha dedicado gran parte de su carrera a moldear su biografía personal para construir un personaje casi mitológico, dotado de un hambre de éxito voraz y un compromiso absoluto con los rodajes, llegando a entrenar de forma espartana antes de entrar a trabajar como redactor jefe en su vida diaria. La charla se adentra en los entresijos técnicos de Contacto Sangriento, una película dirigida por Newt Arnold, un reputado ayudante de dirección de la época, y que contó con la dirección de fotografía de David Worth. Uno de los aspectos más sorprendentes del rodaje fue el caótico primer montaje, que carecía de ritmo y resultó ser un fracaso inicial. Fue el propio Van Damme quien, junto al montador Michael J. Duthie, asumió la tarea de remontar la película por completo para enfocar el ritmo de las escenas en la espectacularidad de los combates. El magnetismo del actor con el público femenino también ocupa un espacio relevante en el análisis. A diferencia de otros héroes de acción musculados de la época, Van Damme poseía un atractivo físico y una sensibilidad que traspasaban la pantalla. El director de fotografía David Worth llegó a asegurar que el plano del trasero desnudo de Van Damme incrementaría las ventas en VHS de la película en más de cien mil copias, convirtiendo este tipo de encuadres en una seña de identidad ineludible en producciones posteriores como Soldado Universal. El doblaje al español de la película es otro de los puntos fuertes comentados en el podcast. La dirección corrió a cargo del mítico Carlos Revilla, la voz original de Homer Simpson en España, y contó con las voces de José Luis Angulo doblando a Van Damme y de Ramón Langa interpretando al carismático Ray Jackson. Se rememoran frases icónicas que han quedado grabadas en la memoria colectiva de los aficionados al cine de videoclub de finales de los ochenta. Finalmente, los locutores repasan la evolución del actor hacia producciones de grandes estudios de Hollywood, destacando su colaboración con el director Peter Hyams en películas como Timecop o la aclamada Muerte Súbita. Estos proyectos permitieron al actor desencasillarse de las artes marciales puras y adentrarse en un cine de acción mucho más sofisticado. La conversación concluye con las recomendaciones personales de los participantes, quienes ensalzan títulos como Cyborg, dirigida por Albert Pyun, o la célebre película de John Woo, Blanco Humano, considerada una de las obras cumbre de la filmografía del actor belga.

The team discussed recent updates and personal experiences. Keith shared details about a problematic incident involving their grandson, Rahim, who damaged their Toyota Highlander vehicle while it was in his care. The vehicle sustained significant damage, including a crushed unibody, and the insurance company is likely to total it. Rahim has since disappeared, and his access to the family home has been disabled. The group also briefly discussed local movie productions in St. Louis and Litchfield, and Keith mentioned attending a wedding at a barn in Iuka, Illinois over the weekend.

News of the Week The team discussed several unusual news stories during their meeting. Terry shared a story about a Dutch TV host who built a car shaped like a wooden shoe that reached 70 mph, while Jill reported on the 65th annual German finger wrestling championship in Bavaria, where competitors tie middle fingers together and try to pull opponents across a table. Keith presented fake movie reviews for three upcoming films: “Confinement,” “I Want Your Sex,” and “Just Play Dead.” Additionally, Terry shared a story about a sheep that accidentally boarded a bus and went through a car wash, and Jill discussed a cat with 29 digits that set a new record for polydactyly. Keith shared slang words from the week, including “Ohio,” and Terry closed out with a story about a venomous snake found inside a high school football helmet in Arkansas. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill led a quiz about Dolly Parton, covering topics such as her birthplace, instruments she plays, and notable songs. The participants answered questions about Dolly Parton’s career, including her famous song collaborations and album releases. Terry's Top 10 List Terry presented a top 10 list of ridiculous things people do when nobody is looking, covering behaviors like pretending to be in shampoo commercials, arguing with imaginary people, checking for the “Snack Fairy,” and rehearsing acceptance speeches. The group discussed various examples from the list, with Keith and Jill sharing personal experiences related to the behaviors described. Anchor Topic This is the part of our show where we discuss blindness-related topics. Skipping our scheduled topic on computers, we spent our time focusing on living skills—specifically, how to make cake pops. Keith and Jill discussed different types of wedding cakes, including regular cake, cupcakes, and cake popsicles (also known as cake sickles), with Jill sharing her experience making them for baby showers. They described the step-by-step process of making cake popsicles: crumbling cake, adding frosting, and dipping them in chocolate. Jill suggested using egg cartons for drying to help maintain their shape. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared a humorous true crime story about a car burglary incident involving a K9 unit and a suspect’s comment about the dog having a “taste for dark meat.” He also read a listener’s email about a man discovering lettuce growing from his rear end, which he reported to his doctor. Keith played a voicemail from a listener who shared a story about an “accidental divorce” following an unnoticed birthday. Finally, Keith wrapped up the show with a story about a bus driver who provided accurate life advice based on passengers’ destinations over several months, eventually leading to a romantic relationship and engagement. The final word from our AI companion The show featured a segment of comedy jokes and puns from multiple participants, including jokes about binary code, Homer Simpson, pirates, and various wordplay.

Esmeralda Ruiz analiza con Juanma González y Dani Palacios las tres series de los años 80. En esta nueva entrega del programa en esRadio, Esmeralda Ruiz, Juanma González y Dani Palacios dedican el espacio a recordar algunas de las producciones más emblemáticas de la televisión de finales del siglo pasado. El programa comienza con un sentido homenaje musical a la figura de Dolly Parton, destacando su indiscutible legado en la música country y su influencia en la cultura pop gracias a temas inmortales como I Will Always Love You o 9 to 5, además de su participación en películas míticas de la época. El núcleo de la sección se centra en un viaje nostálgico por las series de televisión de los años ochenta que marcaron a toda una generación. La primera parada obligatoria es Los Simpson, producción estrenada originalmente en diciembre de 1989 tras haber nacido como una serie de cortos dentro de otro programa de televisión. Los colaboradores coinciden en que la familia de Springfield se convirtió en un absoluto fenómeno de masas durante la década de los noventa, logrando mantenerse plenamente vigente hoy en día gracias a las plataformas de emisión en continuo. Durante la conversación, analizan el impacto de la conocida como Bartmanía, una época en la que el primogénito de la familia acaparaba portadas de revistas especializadas, videojuegos y todo tipo de mercadotecnia. Dani Palacios destaca cómo el primer número de cabeceras de videojuegos clásicas con su portada se cotiza hoy en día a precios astronómicos. No obstante, con el paso de los años, el protagonismo humorístico y el cariño del público se desplazaron hacia Homer Simpson, consolidado por los participantes como el personaje más icónico de la serie. Asimismo, abordan la figura de Lisa Simpson, descrita por Juanma González como la conciencia demócrata y ecologista del hogar, cuyo papel a menudo resulta repelente para otros personajes. La charla también se detiene en la asombrosa capacidad de la serie creada por Matt Groening para predecir acontecimientos futuros, un aspecto que la ha elevado a la categoría de oráculo de la sociedad moderna. Recordando sus capítulos favoritos, mencionan clásicos imperecederos como el del campamento Krusty o el recordado episodio del flameado de Moe. La segunda gran serie analizada es ALF, estrenada en 1986. Los locutores rememoran con humor las andanzas de este irreverente extraterrestre que se colaba en el día a día de una típica familia estadounidense de clase media. El éxito del personaje radicaba en el contraste entre el formato tradicional de comedia de situación y la audacia de introducir una marioneta como protagonista. Los colaboradores ensalzan además el excelente trabajo de doblaje realizado en España, que dotó al personaje de un carisma único. Los tertulianos recuerdan con especial asombro el traumático desenlace de la serie, uno de los finales más impactantes de la historia de la televisión, donde el entrañable alienígena terminaba siendo capturado por las fuerzas militares. Aunque años más tarde se estrenó la película de televisión Proyecto ALF para intentar dar un cierre a la trama, la ausencia de la familia original impidió que tuviera el mismo calado emocional entre los seguidores de la obra original. Por último, el trío repasa la trayectoria de Aquellos maravillosos años, estrenada en 1988. Definida como una precursora del género de maduración o tránsito a la edad adulta, la serie narraba la infancia de Kevin Arnold a finales de los sesenta con el trasfondo de acontecimientos históricos tan relevantes como la llegada del hombre a la Luna o la Guerra de Vietnam. Los presentadores destacan la excelente banda sonora de la serie y cómo sirvió de inspiración directa para producciones españolas tan duraderas como Cuéntame cómo pasó. Para concluir, los colaboradores bromean sobre algunos de los mitos urbanos que rodearon a la producción en su momento, como la falsa teoría de que el actor que interpretaba a Paul Pfeiffer terminó convirtiéndose en el cantante Marilyn Manson. Con este repaso a tres series legendarias, el equipo closes una sección veraniega que ha permitido a muchos oyentes reconectar con los mejores recuerdos de su infancia y adolescencia.

Running Naked Around the NeighborhoodToday's five-mile solo run is another Running Jackal experiment: no Samantha, no constant heart-rate nagging, just me, my Apple Health app, and running by feel.I wander through the neighborhood toward Glencoe Cove, noticing everything from Montessori kids and dog walkers to playground construction, sea fog, pressure washers, and a suspiciously Homer Simpson-like Evergreen Terrace.Without the familiar zone announcements, deciding when to walk becomes a discipline of its own — basically asking myself what Samantha would be saying if she were along for the ride.There's plenty of Jackal-style wandering along the way, including cameras and recorders in one hand, a phone in the other, trousers threatening to fall down, and thoughts drifting from local streets to the large trees waiting for me in France.It's a five-mile neighborhood adventure, part running experiment, part travel preamble, and part unscripted conversation with whoever happens to be listening.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.

Welcome back to the Working Perspectives Podcast! In this episode, we are diving deep into the ultimate television fatherhood debate with our official TV Dad Tier List. To make sure we have all our bases covered, we're bringing four totally different dad perspectives to the table: Matt brings the point of view of a married dad. Bern brings the point of view of a divorced dad. Liam brings the point of view of a single dad. Tom brings the point of view of a married dad with two sons. Watch as we battle it out, grading and debating the parenting styles, hilarious flaws, and iconic moments of four legendary sitcom fathers: Homer Simpson (The Simpsons), Al Bundy (Married... with Children), Dan Conner (Roseanne), and Frank Reynolds (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). Who gets the legendary S-Tier status and who gets dropped to the bottom? It's a healthy dose of 90s TV nostalgia mixed with absolute chaos. Grab a cold one, settle in, and let us know your rankings in the comments below! Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more weekly debates and dad perspectives!

With his murderous glare under an unwieldly mop of red hair, Sideshow Bob may never have successfully killed Bart Simpson, but he wound up being the perfect vehicle to illustrate how the series grew within the first five years of its existence on television. After all, the series is now nearly forty years old, and condensing its history into just one podcast episode would drive the guy writing this (James) insane.

Today's episode starts with a public service announcement: if you accidentally fart on a fan during a paid meet-and-greet, maybe acknowledge it. The gang dives into the internet's latest bizarre controversy involving Nathan Morris of Boyz II Men and a fan who's spent more than a decade seeking justice for one unforgettable toot.But this funny podcast isn't stopping there.We're gearing up for our massive Operation Food Search canned food drive and preparing for the first outdoor Rizz Show broadcast in years. What could possibly go wrong? Probably everything. There will be food donations, giveaways, honking from passing cars, and plenty of opportunities for us to annoy every other morning show in the building.Then it's time for a giant round of celebrity chaos. We investigate the surprising divorce filing between Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO, examine cryptic social media clues like internet detectives, and somehow end up discussing relationship boundaries and celebrity breakup theories. Because apparently everyone online has earned an honorary private investigator badge.The gang also covers rapper Mystikal's prison sentence, the latest updates on Diddy's shortened release date, and the return of James Franco to social media with videos that may or may not be extremely weird.Then we veer directly into movie nerd territory. Luke Skywalker's lightsaber is headed to auction for an absurd amount of money. Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka hat, Rocky's boxing boots, and the legendary Big Lebowski rug are all hitting the auction block. Because apparently nostalgia now has a seven-figure price tag.Elsewhere, we celebrate Father's Day by ranking television's greatest dads. Is Al Bundy actually the GOAT television father? Why does nobody appreciate Bud Bundy? And can Homer Simpson really be considered responsible?There's also a deep dive into the Allman Brothers, a discussion about seeing celebrities fart in real life, Rocky Horror Picture Show memories, Shrek's return, Chris Tucker's surprising life update, and Moon accidentally delivering a full Star Wars philosophy lecture that nobody saw coming.It's another completely ridiculous funny podcast full of celebrity gossip, weird stories, pop culture rabbit holes, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense at six in the morning.If you're looking for a funny podcast featuring fart accountability, celebrity chaos, and enough random topics to make your head spin, congratulations—you've found today's episode.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(1 Cor 31-11:1) Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Audio Transcript 00:36Morning, Church. Go ahead and turn in your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 10.00:41We're going to start in verse 23 and go through the first verse of chapter 11.00:48Have you ever had one of those moments where you walked away from a conversation and immediately thought, well, I really stepped in it on that one?00:59You know the feeling. You say something and at first you think it was just something harmless, right?01:07But then you notice the silence. Where you see the look on someone's face and the room gets just a little awkward, right? And suddenly there's this chill in the air and you start replaying the conversation in your mind and you start thinking, well, what did I just say? Most of us have had a moment like that, right? I remember one time in particular when Elizabeth and I were a young couple before we had any kids.01:35We got invited over to a dinner party. And we didn't know one of the couples in particular very well. And so we were brought together and they were trying to do some, you know, friend matchmaking kind of a thing. It was nice. We had a good dinner and a good time and we were just chatting with one another and telling funny stories and whatever. And I seized on the opportunity to tell a really, what I thought was funny story about an experience that Elizabeth and I had had just a few days prior.02:05And Elizabeth and I had gone to a high school band concert. You remember this? Yeah. Of course she does. We had gone to a high school band concert just a few days before. And I'll just tell you that it was not the greatest concert ever. In fact, it was, in my opinion, it was pretty bad. And I thought it would be a great opportunity to make everybody laugh. So I'm telling about how the trumpets are squeaking and how the trombones were just a few notes, a little off and you know the the kid playing the triangle got a little too excited and you know i'm getting laughs and it's it's a great time we're all yucking it up i did notice there was one couple though the couple we didn't know too well they weren't really engaged in my story and so you know i just bore in i'm telling it a little more getting a little trying to get some more laughs so i finished my story and then uh the husband of the couple that was quiet that we don't know very well he kind of leans in and raises his head and says I'm the band director at that school. That's a true story. That one hurt. That one really hurt, you know? Maybe you've been there. I don't know. Maybe I'm the only one. Maybe that's the worst example in the room. But I felt awful. You know the Homer Simpson meme where he just backs up into the shrubs? You've seen it, right? You've sent it, right? Yeah, that was what I wanted to do. I just wanted the earth to open up, swallow me whole, and I just wanted to be gone. But you know, honestly, they took it really, really well. They were very gracious. And we laughed about it. And I think they got over it. We never got invited over for dinner again. But you know, I think they got over it. At least that's what I tell myself. You know, in most circumstances like that, most social mistakes, they're just accidental. I didn't mean to offend them. I thought I was just being funny. And they're awkward, but eventually we get over it and we work through it and we laugh and we kind of move on.04:06But sometimes that sort of thing, that can even happen here in the church, right? You know, some of the hardest conflicts that we find ourselves in in the church and in our lives, sometimes they're not accidents. They happen when we are absolutely convinced that we are right about something, and we need to get that out of our heads.04:35It can happen when our personal convictions, our preferences, and what we believe, that we have every right and good purpose to say, begin to collide with someone else's preferences or someone else's conscience or conviction. And that is a much, much harder problem. Because now it's not just, oops, I misspoke, I didn't realize. Now it's, I believe I am right. I believe I have the freedom here to say what I think I need to say and to express myself.05:05And so, what do we do in that instance? What do we do with that conviction if it offends someone or if it's going to offend someone? Maybe just to make sure you understand, maybe it's a situation like this. Maybe you're in a group, even here at church, right? And you're having a conversation and you say something like, I just, for the life of me, I can't really understand how people can send their kids to public school. I mean, it's just a terrible place.05:35Do they know what they're doing? And then someone in that group goes to public school. Or is a school board member. Or is a teacher, right? Or how about you're expressing that absolute correct conviction that anyone who goes to a non-Christian concert or, heaven forbid, takes their kids there, right? They're doing a terrible disservice to their family. Or how about expressing the very strong and, of course, correct that anyone who chooses not to follow the right vaccination schedule for their kids, they're just a looney tune, right? Or anyone who lets their kids participate in Halloween in any form, they're just inviting their children to be overcome by evil spirits. Or one more, maybe you have a strong conviction that you know that someone who is not a five-point Calvinist, right? They know what all the tulip letters stand for.06:34Maybe they're destined for help. And you know that you're right. You know that your purpose is to declare your conviction in these circumstances. And you don't really have to have much regard for the people around you. And this is where 1 Corinthians 10 brings us this morning. I mean, we all have convictions, of course. These strong opinions.07:04And if it's not one of the ones I listed, maybe it's the idea of drinking that Jeff talked us, walked us through with that example in the small group, right? We had a few months ago or heaven forbid politics or dress standards or social media. So the question then becomes, what do I do with these convictions? What do I do with my convictions on a non-essential, non-salvation issue that offends somebody else?07:34thinking.07:36Because I know you.07:37Some of you right now are thinking, I'm a black and white kind of a person.07:41I'm right.07:42The rest of the world, they're wrong.07:46So what do I do?07:47What do I do?07:48If I have this strong conviction, do I stand my ground, defend my rights?07:52Do I prove my theology?07:54Do I push harder because I know I'm correct and it's just going to require a little more convincing?07:59You might be thinking, of course I do.08:01That is my role in this world.08:04Why else would God put those things in my head or on my heart? Paul has some things to say about this issue, and that's what we're going to dive into. So before we get into Paul's instructions, let's pray. And in our normal harvest tradition, I would ask that you take a moment and pray for me, and I will pray for you.08:33Holy Father, I pray that your word would speak loudly this morning. I pray, God, that the wisdom that our brother Paul brings us in the Holy Scriptures, God, would convict us where we need to be convicted and would encourage us where we need to be encouraged. And God, that we would leave a changed people in whatever way you know that we need to be changed. It's in Christ's holy and precious name we pray. Amen. So Paul has been building us up. We've been in 1 Corinthians for a while now, right?09:02And Paul has been building us up to this point. In chapters 1-4, in this letter to the Corinthians, he's correcting their wisdom. He's saying, are you following human personalities or are you following Christ and the cross? Remember the sections we had Taylor and Jeff and Rich? He's saying, who are you following? And then in chapters 5-7, Paul is correcting their conduct. He says, how do Christians, how are we supposed to handle these topics of sexuality, marriage, holiness? The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.09:33And then in chapters 8 and 9, he spends some time correcting their rights. He says, knowledge without love is pretty dangerous, actually. The Christian liberty is real, but liberty without love, it can become really destructive. And then here we are in chapter 10. Paul is going to show us how to actually live this out. This is the practice of this liberty that Paul has been talking to the Corinthians about. Because he acknowledges you have rights, you have freedoms, you have convictions.10:02But how do we use them in a way that helps people instead of hurting people or pushing them away? How do you handle these convictions in a way that is honoring to Christ? So let's look at three clear responses from Paul for us on this particular topic. If you look at verse, starting in verse 23 and we'll look at 24, Paul begins by saying, all things are lawful, but not all things are helpful.10:32All things are lawful, but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Apparently this phrase, all things are lawful, it had become kind of a favorite slogan of the Corinthians. So much so that you might remember that Paul already talked about this and used this same language back in chapter 6. And back in that chapter, Paul was using this rhetorical argument, This rhetorical technique to say to the Corinthians and now to us, freedom isn't just what you can do, but rather what you should be looking at what you should do. This idea that we all have this freedom in Christ, Paul asks us, how are you using it in light of what is good and what is helpful to do? See, the Corinthians were saying, and you might remember from a few weeks ago, or maybe you don't, so I'll remind you, I'm free, I'm under grace, I have rights, I can do this. And in some sense, they were right. But actually, Paul is talking about a term that some theologians will use. It's called adiophora. It's really just getting to this idea of these matters of indifference. These things that are neither clearly commanded nor forbidden by God in Scripture. They're not sin. Not holiness issues.12:00with explicit commands, but you might call them gray areas. Questions like, can I eat this? Can I eat that? Can I go here, participate in this, celebrate that, enjoy this freedom? So Paul doesn't deny Christian liberty and Christian freedom at all. He doesn't say actually nothing is lawful. Instead, he applies two simple, profound filters. Yes, it may be lawful, but he says, but is it helpful?12:31Yes, it may be permitted, but does it build up? And that is a completely different standard, isn't it? It's not, what am I allowed to do? Whether or not something is lawful, that is really the bare minimum for a believer. Instead, whether something is helpful should be our standard, and that's what Paul is calling us to. So I want to focus a little bit on this word build up, this two-word phrase build up.12:59In the Greek it literally means to build a house. And Paul is saying your liberty should function like a construction project, not demolition work. Christian freedom is not a license for self-gratification. It's a tool. It's a tool for church building, for people building, and disciple building. So the question is not what can I get away with? The question is what helps build up the people around me.13:29And that's our first point this morning that Paul is bringing to us. What do I do if my conviction offends someone? You choose to construct. You choose to construct. If my freedom tears down a brother, then my freedom has actually become selfish. Paul then takes it in a slightly different direction than he did back in chapter 6 when he says, Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Boy, that's really hard, isn't it? Because what's our natural tendency? Do you naturally seek your neighbor first? Probably not. Probably not, at least most of the time. We think about my preference, my conviction, my right, my comfort. But Paul says, with all this freedom, with all this liberty, start with your neighbor instead of yourself. That is the way of Christ. Let me illustrate it to you maybe this way. Maybe this will help. Drive home the point. Let's just say I decide to do a renovation project in my house. Actually, you know what? Better yet. Let's say I have a neighbor who calls me up and says, hey, you know what? I want to do a renovation project in my house. Would you help me? I'm a good neighbor, right?14:55This guy lives next to me, Larry. He's a pastor. He's a good guy. So he gives me a call and I say, you know what? Yeah, I'll help you out, Larry. I'll come over. I'll help you with your renovation project. Well, what's the first step in any good reno job? Demo day, right? So Larry calls me up and I decide, okay, yeah, I'm going to go help Larry and I go grab my sledgehammer like a good neighbor and I walk over there and I am prepared. I am ready to help him do some demo.15:25I have every right to be there, don't I? I mean, he invited me. So legally, I'm allowed in his house, and I brought the right tool. I brought the sledgehammer, right? And Larry, I mean, he knows. He knows how I feel about demo. He knows that I'm really excited about this, and I'm going to have some skill, and I'm probably going to have some, maybe some opinions, too. So Larry invites me over, and we're maybe talking a little bit about the project. He gives me some of his opinions and some of his thoughts, and I'm thinking, you know, and I'm like, yeah, you know, okay.15:55Larry knows me. He knows I've done some demo in my day and I've got some things to offer here. And I'm thinking, you know what? I heard his ideas, but there's this one wall. It's right in the middle of the house. And I have a very strong conviction that that wall, it's got to go. I mean, for the good of his family, for the good of Larry and Kimmy and their girls and grandbabies, that wall, it's going because I feel very strongly about this. In fact, I feel strongly enough that my sledgehammer, I take it.16:25And I just knocked that wall down. That wasn't Larry's idea. That was my conviction. Well, that wall just so happened to be very structurally integral to the house. So what happens when I take that wall down? The second story of that house is now directly on the first floor. But it didn't just fall on me. It fell on Larry and his wife and their girls.17:00See, my exercise of my freedom in that instance, it became destruction. And Paul says that's exactly how some Christians handle their own personal liberty. They swing the sledgehammer of personal rights without asking what they're hitting, without thinking about it. They say, I'm free, I'm right, I can do this, I feel very convicted about this. In a sense, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I That's okay. That's true. But are you building the house or are you collapsing it? With your conviction. Because in the church, just like in Larry's house, it's not just you. There are other people under this roof. There are younger believers watching. There are weaker believers learning. There are unbelievers observing. There are hurting people trying to heal. And your liberty, it affects them too.17:55So the application here, it's simple, but it's kind of uncomfortable. Ask yourself, am I more interested in defending my rights or protecting the structural integrity of my brother's house? And in this week, instead of swinging a hammer, a sledgehammer of your conviction, maybe choose to lay a brick of encouragement. Maybe instead of proving your point, you protect a person. And maybe instead of demanding liberty, you ask, what would help them the most? So what do I do if my conviction offends someone? I choose to construct. And then Paul goes on to take it even further because sometimes this issue, it's not just about general building up or edification. Sometimes someone else's conscience is actually involved. And that leads us to Paul's second point. Look at verses 25 to 30. Paul goes on to say, eat whatever is sold in the meat market.18:55without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. You can pause there. Paul maintains a very high view of God's creation. Paul's actually quoting King David here from Psalm 24 and he's telling us, listen, this is similar to back in chapter 6. He says, meat is just meat. The earth, all of this, it belongs to the Lord. An idol, it's nothing. Food itself is morally neutral.19:24So Paul tells strong believers, stop turning everything into a theological investigation. Go buy the meat. Eat dinner. Don't interrogate the butcher. You do not need to walk into the meat market saying, excuse me, before I purchase this ribeye, I need a full spiritual background on this cow, please. No. Relax. That is not Paul's point at all.19:54He says, enjoy the meat, enjoy God's provision without unnecessary anxiety.20:00And He goes on to say, if one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience.20:14He says, if you want to go to the unbeliever's house and have dinner, if you think it's a worthwhile time, if you think it's going to be good, it's a good opportunity, then go and eat.20:24And don't worry.20:26He says, without raising any question on the ground of conscience.20:33Concede your conscience on this non-essential and non-sin issue and go.20:42But then the situation changes somewhat.20:45Verse 28, look at that.20:46It says, But if someone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it.20:56So now there's an informant at the dinner table.20:59A believer sitting next to you who says, he points out that this meat, it's been sacrificed to idols.21:04It's tainted, right?21:07He says, now someone's conscience, now someone else's conscience is involved in this scenario.21:12And now the issue is no longer about the meat.21:15It's now about the person.21:19Paul then says, stop eating.21:22Stop.21:23For the sake of the one who informed you and for the sake of their conscience. Not yours, but their conscience. Not because the meat is suddenly bad. Not because the conscience of another person is at stake. This is where we Christians get it wrong so often. We think the goal is to prove, that we have to prove that we are theologically on this non-essential issue. That we think we have to convince the weaker brother that we are totally right on this issue. And if we don't, then we've done something wrong. But Paul says the goal is to protect the person. For the weaker brother, eating that meat would have been a violation of his conscience. Even if the act is objectively fine, which Paul has already told us, it is.22:22If he believes it's wrong, but does it anyway, he's training himself to disobey what he believes God wants him to do. It's kind of like what Paul says in his letter to the Romans in chapter 14 where he says, But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. The issue isn't just about the external act.22:52of eating.22:53It's about the intent of the heart on these negotiable issues.22:57These negotiable convictions.22:59If this guy were to go ahead and eat the meat.23:01And go against his conscience.23:04His conscience guided conviction.23:07He would actually be sinning.23:10Because as it says in Romans.23:11This man's faith.23:12Or in that context.23:14Faith means a conviction or an assurance.23:17His assurance is that eating the meat does not honor God.23:21So would he be honoring the Lord? And Paul says to concede. To yield. Not because your theology has changed. Not because your conviction has disappeared. But because the love of your brother matters more than proving your point. So we have to concede for the conscience. That's our second point. Concede for the conscience.23:52So to drive this home a little bit, why don't we reverse the scenario a little bit and say, imagine the believer goes into the marketplace and he starts just making a total scene. He's flipping tables over. He's tossing meat away. He's tossing it on the ground stomping on. He says, this whole place is compromised. This meat, it's pagan. Everyone here is wrong. You're all going straight to hell.24:20None of us would ever do anything about a particular issue we feel strongly about on social media, right? But what does that accomplish? What would that accomplish in this scenario? Would that help to reach anyone? Or does it simply create noise and disagreement? So continuing on in Paul's scenario, imagine that you get invited to dinner by an unbeliever and you say, yeah, I'll come over. I'll come over.24:50But only if... Fill in the blank. I'm only going to come over if there's no alcohol there whatsoever. Or, you know what? I'm only going to come over if everyone agrees with my political... No MAGA hats, please. There's not going to be any MAGA hats, right? Or everybody's vaccinated, right? Everybody's had the COVID and the double and they're wearing the masks, right? You remember those days? Or I'm only going to come... You know what? You guys only read from the ESV version of the Bible, right?25:21Okay, good. And I'll come over then. Or, you know, there's no evolution or there's no old earth people at this dinner, right? We're all seven-day young earth people, right? I'll come over if your family does things my way. Is that building a bridge to the gospel? Is it building a wall, isn't it? And then continue on, right? Imagine that someone at the table, they're struggling with the conscience issue of, eating whatever's in front of them for whatever reason, instead of gently stepping back, the stronger believer, maybe you in this case, you actually launch into a theological debate. You are going to convince this guy why he is wrong about his conviction. Nobody gets helped in that scenario. In fact, the dinner becomes a courtroom scene, right? Everybody gets exhausted, and Paul says, stop trying.26:20to win all the arguments in the moment all the time. You've lost your focus when you're doing that. He says sometimes, or we can say that sometimes, that weaker brother's conscience, it's not an invitation for debate. Maybe it's a check engine light on our liberty or on what we think. The Holy Spirit might just be saying to you, you know what? In this instance, slow down. This is not about you. This is not about your rights anymore. This is about your witness.26:50of me.26:54So, is there a non-essential issue where you could maybe take a step back?26:58Not because you're weak.27:01Not because your convictions are wrong.27:04Maybe it's in your family.27:06Maybe it's in your small group.27:09Maybe it's in your workplace or with a newer believer or somebody you're trying to win for Christ.27:14If your conviction on a non-essential issue, on a non-salvation issue, is consistently resulting in people being pushed away or being hurt. Maybe your knowledge isn't the problem. Maybe it's your pride. Because sometimes the greatest display of spiritual maturity is not just standing your ground in a confrontational way. It's actually being willing to take a step back and concede to the conscience of someone else. Now I know, Again, because I know you, because I know myself. Some of you are out there saying, Brian, I cannot, I can't, I can't believe Jeff and Taylor are letting you stand up there and say this. I mean, I have strong convictions. Is Paul telling me to just take them all and just set them aside? Set them on fire over here? They're useless? Isn't that a violation of my own conscience? That's not what's being said here at all. Our convictions are important.28:18And do you really think Paul, a guy who has a fair amount of pretty strong convictions on issues like sex, marriage, gender roles, spiritual gifts, etc., do you really think he would tell us your personal convictions, they don't matter at all? No. And in fact, I would say that discussing your convictions with believers or non-believers in a non-confrontational way, it can be really helpful. That's where iron sharpening iron can come, right? You can help a believer with your convictions. But remember, like Jeff told us last week or two weeks ago, we should all be believers in legalism. But what kind? Personal legalism, right? We should be very strict on ourselves according to conviction from Scripture, but to have that be general legalism to everybody else, that's where we get in big trouble. And all of this, that leads us to Paul's final and biggest point.29:18Why do all of this? Paul goes on to ask a couple of questions. He says, For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced? Because of that for which I give thanks. In other words, why do this? Why lay down my rights? Why surrender preferences? Why choose people over liberty? Why choose to concede for the conscience? Is it so that people think we're nice?29:48Is it so they think that we're really winsome and non-argumentative and non-confrontational? We're just go along to get along people? Is it so we can fill every seat in this auditorium two Sundays a week? Is that why we do this? Let's see what Paul has to say. Go ahead and look at verse 31. Paul lands this entire argument when he says, So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God. Just try, just as I try, to please everyone in everything I do. Not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved. Be imitators of me as I am of Christ. This is the center of everything. Glory to God alone.30:43If you eat the meat, do it, give thanks, and go. If you abstain in order to protect your brother's conscience, do it to the glory of God alone. Not just in the big spiritual moments either, not just church and missions and all that, but in the mundane. The eating, the drinking, posting, talking, working, walking. Because every ordinary moment Paul is sharing with us can become an opportunity to put the character of God on display. And he is most with His people when we value Him and His family more than our own freedoms and our own right to express those convictions. So this is the how. How do we keep our conviction from becoming barriers? Or what do we do when our conviction offends someone? Our third point is that we celebrate our Creator. We celebrate our Creator.31:43We need to ask, does this make God look amazing and beautiful? Does this glorify Him and bring honor to Christ? We need to celebrate the Creator. Because if eating the meat, if it creates a scandal and confusion and makes your neighbor think that Christ is compromised, then it doesn't matter how correct your theology is, you are not glorifying God.32:12Verses 32 and 33 just shows us how broad this responsibility is. Paul says again, give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God. He's got all the bases covered there. Jews, they were people with religious history and pretty strong convictions. Greeks, people outside the faith who are watching Christianity and seeing what it looks like. And the church, fellow believers who have different and may have different maturity levels than we do. And Paul is saying, be a universal witness to them all. Don't put any unnecessary obstacles in front of them. I've got to pause one more time and say, I think I know what you're thinking. This is just not right. We can't be this way. I know those kinds of Christians. The ones that are so agreeable, so winsome that they stand for, nothing.33:15They're just a bunch of people-pleasing, gospel-compromising weaklings.33:21Guys, this is not, do not misunderstand Paul or me.33:25This is not about people-pleasing.33:28Because people-pleasing, what is it?33:30It's self-centered, right?33:31It's me controlling all your perceptions of me.33:34That's not what's going on here.33:35Paul is talking about being a person who is strategically on mission for Christ always.33:43He is saying, I will gladly set aside my negotiable preferences and hold my convictions personally at every opportunity I have if it removes barriers between someone and Jesus.33:56And that is radically different than a washed down or watered down, unoffensive gospel.34:01That is not what we're talking about here.34:04Paul says, he goes on to say, be imitators of me as I am of Christ.34:09And he's pointing us to Christ.34:10He wants us to celebrate Christ.34:12and to celebrate the Creator. There might be someone here this morning who doesn't usually come to church. Or maybe you've been to church a lot, but you know the truth in your heart is that you've never trusted Christ as your Savior. And maybe all of this hasn't really resonated with you for that reason. Well, this point, Paul's point here, our Creator, that's to you. It's to all of us. But I want to make sure that you tune in here. Because he says, look at Jesus. Jesus as God's Son, who was with Him from the creation of everything, had every right, every freedom, every authority, all power, and yet what did He do? He laid it down. Philippians says that Christ did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, But he emptied himself. Christ didn't cling to any of these divine rights, divine privileges that he had as the Son of God. Instead, he moved toward sacrifice. His entire earthly life was a steady march to sacrifice. Toward death on the cross so that he could overcome death and become the perfect substitute for spiritual death for all of those who choose to follow him.35:41And if that's not something you've done yet, if you haven't trusted Christ as your Savior, if you've never looked to Christ as your only refuge and strength, please talk to me. Talk to Jeff or Taylor or go to the prayer corner after church. We'd love to talk to you more about that. Because Paul says, look to Christ. And he says, watch me do the same. Paul says, I'm just a regular guy following Christ.36:10If I can lay down my rights for the sake of the gospel, then you can too. And honestly, that is where we probably need, I know I need sometimes, the strongest correction. Because so much of our culture and in our mindset, it sounds so often like Corinth, right? We say, I know an idol is nothing. I know Halloween is pagan. Democrats are evil. Republicans are selfish. Drinking is wrong. Drinking is right. Whatever. You fill it all in. Maybe sometimes we're right, but Paul is saying, hear me on this.36:40there's a better question. Do you know what your neighbor needs? Do you know what your neighbor needs? He needs Christ. That's the point. We say, I have all these freedoms. Yes. But you also have the power through Christ to abstain from freely expressing all of those convictions that you have all the time to everyone.37:10Or even better yet, perhaps, you have the power through Christ to be patient. To be patient with someone else, a weaker brother, to come to a better understanding of their faith. And to grow in their own convictions. So do you have the patience to allow the Holy Spirit to work in your brother's life in that moment? Or do you feel like you have to be the Holy Spirit in their life?37:40for them.37:43That is maturity.37:45Having that patience.37:48In the Corinthian way that Paul is pushing back against says, my goal is personal liberty.37:53I am free.37:54I am independent.37:56I am a Corinthian.37:58I'm an American.38:00The way of Christ says, my goal is to win people for Jesus.38:05The way of Christ is self-denial for the good of others.38:10The way of Christ says it is not about me. It's about Him. It's about people's eternal souls and the gospel and God's glory. Our worship team can make their way on up as I finish up. Because the Corinthian way, which is oftentimes our way, it produces pride and it produces division.38:40Christ's way produces humility and unity and brings glory to our Heavenly Father, but I've got to ask you this morning, which way will you choose? The Corinthian way or Christ's way? So what if my conviction offends someone? Choose to construct. Use your liberty to build people up and not demolish them.39:09What if my conviction offends someone? Concede for the conscience. Value the person more than proving your point. What if my conviction offends someone? Celebrate the Creator. Let your highest goal be the glory of God, not the defense of self. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you, God, for your word. We thank you that, God, that it answers all of our questions.39:39God, that it so clearly cuts into all of our circumstances. God, and we just, we think of this word from Paul this morning, and God, I pray that our hearts would be looking to our neighbor. God, that through the power of your Spirit, that we would be turned away from ourselves, from selfishness. God, and that we would look to the needs of those around us. God, that we would seek to build others up.40:09God, and that we would follow the leading of your Holy Spirit in those moments when we're wondering, do I say what I feel strongly about? Or do I hold back? Do I concede on this issue or do I push in? God, I pray that your Spirit would work strongly in each of our lives, God, and that we would hear Him. Lord, and most of all, I pray that our goal would be to bring you glory, to look to you in all things. To celebrate you as our Heavenly Father. And to look to Jesus as our one and only Savior. We love you and we're grateful for all you do for us. It's in Christ's name we pray. Amen.

I, Excretus (Star Trek: Lower Decks, S2 E8) was recommended by Chief Engineer Greg, who said: Going mildly mad with power, I wanted to suggest an episode myself.The first time I saw a Lower Decks cosplay, it was a Boimler and a Shaxs together. I had just started watching the show and conventions were beginning to come back in the post-Covid environment. And seeing a Boimler covered in Borg babies was such a delight to see. Lower Decks is the show made of deep cuts to obscure bits of Star Trek lore (Borg Maturation chambers) and also send up of the Franchise. This show is steeped in love for how silly the franchise is, while never getting jaded about it, and even fighting against the more jaded elements you can see when you get too close.This is an episode that openly admits to the workaholism of the Federation and uses it to great effect. It causes the trainer to break down because everyone gets perfect scores, yet Boimler's striving for that perfection. To paraphrase Homer Simpson, "Workahol. The cause of, and solution to, all life's problems."I, Excretus first aired on September 30, 2021, written by Ann Kim, and directed by Kim ArndtA consultant arrives on the U.S.S.

Anto Yeldezian is a Tāmaki-based artist of Armenian heritage, who works amongst an expanded painting practice that often leans into methodologies of printmaking. Utilising methods of monoprinting, and stencils, along with a playful use of paint and material exploration. Within his current solo show Desert Island on at Coastal Signs, Yeldezian presents a series of 7 large scale works on raw loose canvas. Installed in a manner in which the works almost engulf the gallery walls, and bring the space into a continuous field of symbols, and marks.  The works themselves harness this heavy use of motifs, and symbols as a kind of centering point to the show. The references include camels, palm trees, oil pump-jacks, Homer Simpson's thirsty bird'; ancient fossils, the triple Gs of Canterbury Clothing Company, union jacks and logos of American defence and oil companies.  Through the making of the work Yeldezian takes these symbols and applies them to various painterly techniques that almost pull them away from their own inherent meanings/references and into this place of a pattern-like language with its own set of meanings. Maya caught up with Anto about the show as well as his overall practice.

Welcome to season 4, episode 3 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast! What was supposed to be a quick 10-to-15-minute chat turned into three hours. I am not sorry.CW: We do discuss topics such as medical trauma and gaslighting, the Faces of Covid Victims project, and the fear that wells up when folks in your support group don't post for a while.I got to sit down with Emerson and Jessie from the COVID Long Haulers Podcast and at the end, I announced that I'm adopting them. We talked for so long that what you're hearing is just my portion of the conversation, and it still clocked in at an about an hour. That tracks.We talked about how both of our podcasts started: out of desperation, out of Discord servers, out of needing to find even one other person who understood what it felt like when plain water dehydrates you, or when your symptoms are so bizarre and so new that you don't have words for them yet. We talked about what it costs to do this work when you're homebound, bedbound, or running on borrowed spoons. And we talked about something that I think about a lot, which is what it actually means to be witnessed. Not fixed or reassured or told be positive. Just truly seen by someone who says: that sounds really hard.We clearly didn't want this conversation to end. I hope you feel the same way while listening to it.This is a Long COVID Awareness Month episode about grief, gallows humor, knitted activist vests, and the community that keeps showing up when everyone else kind of backs into the bushes like Homer Simpson.Topics covered:Long COVID community and patient-led advocacyIsolation, online support, and the limits of our abled friends and familyMedical gaslighting Grief, mortality, and bearing witnessPrivilege and representation in patient storytellingDysautonomia, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and medication sensitivityCommunity-sourced treatment knowledge (we talk about meds that have and have not worked for us - always consult your doctor before trying anything new!)Co-hosting a podcast while chronically illRELEVANT LINKS:As a Linguist, I want to find the words to measure chronic illness by M.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 51: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In Trump’s War against the United States of America, as he readies 1500 members of the 11th Airborne in Alaska to parachute into Minnesota in a bid to provoke Civil War, as he threatens conflict with NATO while being unable to remember America is IN Nato, is the dictator’s next step an attempt to arrest Joe Biden? To indict Kamala Harris? To convene grand juries to pursue the former First Lady and Jen Psaki and Kareen Jean-Pierre and god knows who else? “Everyone is asking about the Autopen (question mark)” because he’s nearly 80 and he still doesn’t know how to use punctuation marks. It starts with usual Trumpian stupidity and then turns very dark very fast. Quote: “it was an absolutely illegal act perpetrated by the Radical Left Insurrectionists who illegally ran the Biden Administration. Every one of them should be arrested for what they have done… the whole thing was rigged, there must be a price to pay, and it has got to be a big one,” end quote. This is no longer one of those 'signs of his mental illness' from the 1st administration; this is something one of his whores at the Department of Justice will act upon because a) they ARE whores and b) because they are soft and frankly getting an indictment against Joe Biden for something that amounts to “Being President Without Trump’s Permission” is just easier than confronting the whining pants-soiling Jabba the Hutt with bronzer currently occupying the White House – until the floor beneath him collapses. Possibly – given Trump’s weight – LITERALLY. MEANWHILE: We are blackmailing NATO and the EU over Greenland, and he is trying to start a civil war in Minnesota. And his minion is caught on tape ordering CBS to run an interview unedited and this clown Bari Weiss is caught complying. B-Block (30:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: It HAD to happen some day - and this is the day. All three medal winners are either my exes, or connected to my exes. Katy Tur, Megyn Kelly (God no), Laura Ingraham, Kyrsten Sinema. Lawsuits, journalistic disasters, self-contradictions, and me actually defending Katy's husband. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Just passed the anniversary: the day I met the great '60s-'70s-'80s American actress, star of "Bewitched," portrayer of Lizzie Borden, and instant friend for life, Elizabeth Montgomery.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You ever go on a field trip at school and every time you look over your shoulder, there's a teacher or chaperone giving you the stink eye? Well try to imagine a field trip where you look up and all your old relatives are waving you into a tunnel of white light. On today's very special milestone 100th Episode:  you'll hear about my school trip to a French strip club; you would learn about a man of God who unintentionally brought a flock of young faithful to meet him; and you will see why I believe riding through a tornado would be somehow less frightening and uncomfortable than the rigors of today's story.And if you had been listening on Patreon… you would learn how a single school trip shaped my entire world view while listening to Chaka Khan; you would hear about some of the worst ways people have finished school trips unexpectedly early; you would learn about the fake US president who died from the largest landslide ever recorded in human history; and you would learn how today's tragedy could have prevented by simple diarrhea. I mentioned the Oregon Trail earlier in this episode, specifically the Oregon Trail video game from the 80s. It was made as a learning tool about decision making and resource management, but it also teaches that you can do everything right and still die. It's an important thing to remember, and beyond that, this episode taught me how one very young brush with death became the moment this show was born – I just didn't know it yet. It's a long story, and I preserved it for Patreon. For them, I also finished the episode with Chaka Khan's “I Feel For You”, to let you judge just how much or how little it feels like the jam you would have wanted to die to.I mention two things at the end of the episode. First I wanted to call out Kala and her husband Ben for kind of exercisming things at Funeral Kazoo and looking to do some cool stuff for future of the show. Ben, being a native of the American Northwest, yelled in my face that he wanted an episode from this land we've never visited. I said, Ben, I'll get you your dead children, watch me go – and here we are. I'm never happy when a story involves the death of children, but almost half of the would-be victims bailed with cramps and gas and all sorts of things and unknowingly saved themselves from making today's story worse. The second thing was that I would post a very short video on Patreon for paid and unpaid members to hopefully see grief in a different way. I'm going to encourage you to stop thinking of your life as a straight-line journey from cradle to grave and more like a tree, spinning around the sun every year, growing and maturing and changing from the inside-out. I want you to think about grief like a roadblock you keep having to hurdle, that gets just a little bit easier with every try. Head over the Patreon.com/funeralkazoo, sign up as a free member and give it a try. If it helps, I'm overjoyed. Celebrity guest stars include listener of the show and snowcat un-enthusiast, Jeremy Renner; 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman; local area moron and head wound collector, Homer Simpson; and 80s dance floor filler, Chaka Khan.–––––THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn't exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it's been my privilege to bring you these stories.

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, hosts Justin (Deconstruction Zone) and Richard Gilliver seek evidence for God, diving into philosophical arguments, biblical contradictions, and the flaws in theological defenses. The hosts challenge callers to step up their game, urging them to drop the evasions and present solid justification for their faith.Joe in OR, an atheist, asks how to debate various denominations about unfalsifiable claims without being antagonistic. Richard stresses the importance of gaining experience and being humble enough to say "I don't know" rather than risking incorrect biblical arguments. The hosts agree that avoiding errors maintains trust for future dialogue. Is experience the only way to refine the subtle skills needed for secular discourse?Jim in MO, an agnostic, presents Homer Simpson's classic rebuttal to Pascal's Wager. The argument fails because it ignores all other gods, potentially sending the wagerer to an Islamic or Greek Hell instead of the Christian one. The hosts agree this standard counter-apologetic is effective for exposing theological hypocrisy. Why do theists assume everyone defaults to the Christian god concept?Adam in NC, an agnostic, asks why Stephen was martyred for the same ideas Paul later preached, noting that Paul was at Stephen's execution. Justin explains Paul's ministry focused on Gentiles outside Jewish strongholds, minimizing conflict with elites. Adam also questions Paul's conversion story due to contradictory accounts in Acts. Do internal biblical contradictions undermine Paul as a reliable source?Good Question in WA contends atheists incorrectly concede that all morality is subjective, arguing objective morals are based on objective causes. Justin pushes back, arguing that morals are mind-dependent; if all minds ceased to exist, so would morals. Objective means and measures for adhering to a subjective framework do not make the framework itself objective. Why insist on transcendental objective morality if the system relies on conscious receivers?Patrick in FL claims atheism is nihilism and just another faith, as atheists cannot define what evidence for God would be. Richard challenges Patrick on why he uses a different name every week and dismisses his assertion that he neither believes nor disbelieves as dishonest. The hosts demand Patrick present evidence for his God-belief, which he fails to produce before the call is abruptly ended. Why do some theists conflate atheism with nihilism?The Supreme Leader in CO asks, hypothetically, if God's existence (the first mover) was proven, why atheists wouldn't follow him, citing his tyrannical nature. Justin focuses on failed biblical prophecies, demonstrating how quotes are taken out of context (e.g., Isaiah 7's "virgin birth"). Richard applauds the caller's maturity for listening to the context. Does belief in a God compel moral submission to that God? Thank you for tuning in this week!
