With me today are Big Dave Martel, Imperium Press [https://open.substack.com/users/73244894-imperium-press?utm_source=mentions], and Tristan Powers [https://open.substack.com/users/74871272-tristan-powers?utm_source=mentions], three practicing Pagans who insist they believe in the reality of the Gods as they’re depicted in Norse mythology. As people/beings who live *somewhere* that is real, and a place we may go to when we die, if we live our lives in accord with their Will. Most of the show is spent explaining what Paganism is, what they believe, and how and why it is appropriate and applicable for 21st century Americans to convert to paganism. This is NOT a “paganism versus christianity” episode, rather it’s an opportunity for sincere pagans to present their beliefs and make an argument for why it’s a viable spirituality and religion for the right. We do, however, address a few contentions the differing religions and faiths have between each other. You must visit Hearthfireradio.com [https://hearthfireradio.com/] to hear more from these guys, I am a huge fan of their work and have learned a ton from them over the years.

Today I am joined by returning guests Jay and Athenian Stranger to begin a series of discussions reminiscing about 80's action movies. This episode explores the genesis of the genre with a primary focus on First Blood and First Blood Part II, but we also discuss Swarzenegger and his films, comparing and contrasting the two stars and their movies. We mention more or less all of their 80's films, but spend most of our time on Rambo, Conan, Commando, Predator, Cobra, and Tango and Cash. In the future we plan to have episodes on Mel Gibson, Steven Segal, and Vandamme, and then round out the series with the fate of the 80's hero and big action films as they bled over into the 90's.

Kulak joins me to discuss Europes pagan roots, and the tension throughout Europes history of pagan and Christian values.

Shiloh Hendricks was caught on video calling a man, and was accused of calling a child, “the N word” with a “hard R.” In other words, she broke the “alpha taboo” of language. She set up a GiveSendGo [https://www.givesendgo.com/ShilohHendrix] to help fund the looming legal battle she knows is coming. We support her, and explain why in todays episode, but more importantly, we also explore why we both believe this is a watershed moment in the history of race relations in America going back to the Civil Rights era. John wrote what I consider to be the quintessential essay on both the event itself and race relations in the fallout from the Austin Metcalf murder and Shiloh Hendricks affair.
