Thank the Lord. Mexico and the United States of America have reached a deal to end the tomato tariff dispute. I know. I know. Under the draft accord with the U.S. Commerce Department, the majority of Mexican tomato exports will be subject to the U.S. border inspections. And especially tomatoes face a higher reference price. the American marketplace.

But the Mexican economy minister, who is, I mean, I love him. I love him. Said on Twitter, everybody's on Twitter now. That's how we're doing world business now, thanks to Donald Trump, said that the accord kept the U.S. market open for exporters. Yes. And it has enforcement provisions that completely eliminate the injurious effects of Mexican. there's injurious effects of Mexican tomatoes.

I'm not aware of that. As well as price suppression and undercutting. I'll tell you what. It's a good thing we reach this deal. Okay, I'm happy about it, but if Mexico thinks they're going to start undercutting after we make this deal, no, my friends. No.

Plus, they're going to have to find a new way to bring in the drugs because we're going to be checking a lot more tomato box. Just kind of a shame Go back to the avocados I mean the Mexican tomatoes That's got to be Taco Bell Tomatoes, right?

Well, who's making the pico de gallo? Thank you. I don't know. Yeah, if we don't get tomatoes, how can we enjoy a nice pico de gallo? Pico de gallo without tomatoes It's just nothing.

I'm starting to think what goes in the... Pico de Gaio, I do not know what goes in a picco de Gaio, which proves that I'm not Mexican, because Puerto Ricans don't do Pico de Gaio. And I know, oh, man, stop. You're going to tell me what's in the Pico de Gaio. I don't care. Go ahead.

No, no, let them show off. No, no, no, no. Let them show off. Let's hear it. No, Pico de Gaio. I know it has tomatoes, somers a main ingredient. If it are not tomatoes, all your white people, can I enjoy your Pico de Gaio when you go to, like,

chilies, or you go to Chipotle, or you go to Taco Bell. No, talk about don't do that, though. Talk about don't have piccolo gaio now. The chippole and chili and there's Mexican restaurants by white people. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

I want to know what it is. I don't. Well, who shows this anyway? Okay, fine. Mike, not Mike. What's your name? Ron. Oh, man.

Oh, man. Come over here. What's the pickele de Gaia? What's the piggo de gallo? Mr. Show off, Mr. Big Shot. No, no, no, talking to the microphone. It's a radio show. Oh, my gosh.

Just because there's camera doesn't mean they can't freaking read your lyrics. So here, come here. Talk on the microphone. Talk of the microphone. What goes in a pico de gallo? Roma tomatoes. Halapinos.

Okay. Red onion. Cilantra. You're forgetting now, are you? You're forgetting now. And the salt to wake up the tomato. Right. But you have to slice them up

and mix it all together and use the Roma tomatoes. I can't use the other specialty. I have to use the specialty Roma tomatoes. No, you can use any kind of tomatoes. You can use any kind of. He's any kind of tomatoes. Yeah.

You know what the Roma tomatoes are? That's his wife's saying. That's all we're using. Absolutely. It's the only tomatoes I like. So buy those. Bingo. He's not going to the farmer's market using those tomatoes.

All right. So if you head away to find out if you were going to be alive for the next 10 years or whether you were going to die within the next 10 years. Would you do it? Nope. Ah, man. I don't know. That's a tough one, man.

I'm good with the missing. So, would you do it? Scientists from the Max Planick Institute of Biology of Aging. Whoa. I mean, that's such a great place. I want that on that business card. I drive by there every day. Dr. Jeff Fisher.

Honk my horn at the Institute for Biology of Aging. I should be a part of that. Absolutely, yes. You are like how old are you? So that, yeah. Exactly. So he's developed, or they, I'm sorry, the Institute, has developed a new blood test that can pre-year-old.

predict whether you'll die within the next 10 years. Nope. It has biomarkers in the blood linked to various factors that appear to affect your risk of death. But if I get hit by a car or shot by some random person, how is that going to show up on a data? It won't.

Okay. It won't. This is if all things are good to go. Like if I'm going to die of a sickness or something. Correct. Oh, okay. I'll do it then. The researchers analyzed 44,168 participants aged 18 to 109. Wow.

5,512 who died during follow-up. You may think twice about going to the Institute of Age. You're killing you, bro. The analysis of the participant's blood revealed 14 biomarkers that were associated with an increased risk of death. So if you have these biomarkers, then you have an increased chance of dying within the next 10 years. And what if you change? You know, if the biomarker says, you know,

you're going to die within the next 10 years. It isn't telling you why, though. So you don't know what to change, right? That's more into like... The biomarkers were linked to various factors, including immunity, circulating fat, inflammation, and glucose control. So you have a little bit of an idea.

I mean, it's diet. Of course. Of course, that's the answer. And inflammation, which is a huge factor. Thank you. Yeah. It's this suggested in the future, a sample of your blood could be analyzed for the presence of these biomarkers to indicate when you'll die. Well, yeah, well, I thought that's what this was.

Wait, did we do it again, Jeff Fisher? Did we dive into the story? Yes. You know the drill. Wait a minute. You sold the cancer again. The task relies on biomarkers of blood length of versus. Yeah, we know that.

so. To develop the test, the researchers did this, an analysis of the participant's blood revealed 14 biomarkers. They were linked to this. This suggested in the future, a sample of your blood could be analyzed for the presence of these biomarkers. But that's what they were supposed to be doing.

And the study published in Nature Communications, and you know what, I haven't gotten my latest edition of Nature Communications. I'm a little tick about that. That's why, though, That's why? Because they're still going back and checking those numbers. The researchers led by Joris Dealing.

You know what? Joris ticks me off once in a while. He does? In the nature of communications. And I don't even know if Joris is a heat, but it just ticks me off. Sounds like a heat. We subsequently show that the prediction accuracy of five and 10-year mortality based on a model containing to identify biomarkers and sex is better than that of a model

containing conventional risk factors for mortality. The researchers highlight that further researches highlighted that further research Which is need to, of course, we've got to get some more money for test and study money. Grant. Before a clinical test is available, this is backed by experts not involved in the study. Whilst this study shows that this type of profiling can be useful, they do point out importantly that it would need further work to develop a score at individual level that would be useful to real-life situations.

So what the hell did they do? Okay. I told you. Okay. It's a whole cancer story again. We fell for it. So this one filed for, which just should have read the headline.

I've got some great headlines for tomorrow's podcast, too, man. Really for FAPA Friday? That Pout Friday's got a snack of a headline. Just headlines. Just headlines. Oh, they're so good. I love just headlines. They should be tomorrow's show.

We spent eight. This should have been, a scientist developed blood test that predicts whether you'll die in the next 10 years. It's eight minutes. Come to find out that. It's not what the headline says. Do you want to restart over again and just live for tomorrow? Did I say this was my show?

No, I was wrong. Somebody else is. Real life? Imitating art? Maybe. I guess that could be. I mean, you're hip to Nipsey Hustle. I mean.

Yeah, I listened to him. I just got to listen before we started recording this. I mean, that one, the one song. Oh, my gosh, about him and the girl. So good. Oh, it's like. of love so his what so his partner or friend uh you know um why are you laughing or are you crying i can never tell oh you're crying oh arcinio uh grab sunday or whatever his name is we'll just call him

ag oh yeah ag he's he's he talking with the o g he was uh you know he he got shot no not nipsy oh oh oh oh yeah ag i was about to mourn and the police uh Police asked him, hey, who shot you? And he said, F you. Did we get him? I believe the direct quote was F you, son. So, hold on, hold on. What's the question again?

What did the cop ask him? Who shot you? Hey nobody got time for that? Yeah, no. He was, A.G. was not having any of that. It was not having any of that. And now he knew as he was dying didn't matter. Did matter.

And I mean, this is the problem that they're having in New York, though, right? Nobody wants to aid the police. Snitchis Kis Kisichis. So he died an honorable man. Less than an hour after A.G. was killed. Two more men were gunned down in Coney Island. One victim 38 caught a bullet in the head. And that's what always happens.

Oh, yeah. You can't, do they know not to catch the bullets with your heads? You're supposed to catch it with like your hands. Apparently not. And by the way, there's no arrest been made. Wow. It's a side note. No arrest have been made.

So I don't know that it's just real life imitating art, man. That's what you see on TV all the time. They don't want to help the police. They don't like the police. They've got nothing to do with the police. And it's the water buckets of the police. And, I mean, the police are lucky that it is water buckets, only water buckets. Just wait.

Cloring is going to star and then cement. And then acid. Acid is the one that scares me. When that happens, we're in big trouble. So did you see, we yesterday we talked about, you know, one of your favorite shows, Chris Cruz, sadly, dancing with the stars. Oh yeah, my boy, Sean Spicer.

And your boy, Sean Spicer, taking a big heat. You know, big heat. Everybody's all wound up about Sean Spicer being on dancing with the stars. He wants to dance. Including your boy. who's the main what's the stupid name? The host of the stupid show.

Tom Bergerin. Yeah, Tom Bergeren. The host, yeah, yeah. So he's complaining and saying that he thought that Dancing One of the Stars was going to be a respite from politics and he's, we didn't think would be so divisive. How has that been divisive?

And I'm thinking, wait a second. Tom, isn't this your show? No. I mean, you're the whole. of the show, how about shut up? I mean, we can't find a new host of the show. If you're unhappy, leave. Absolutely. If you're unhappy because

Sean Spicer is going to dance a couple of weeks on your stupid show, leave. And we all know already that he's going to last three weeks. The bets have been replaced three weeks. I want him to win. Just a pissed Tom Berger. Oh, my God, imagine that. He wins. I want him to win. I don't care one iota about dancing.

Dancing with the Stars. I have not, I've watched a few episodes, portions of episodes. I don't know that I've ever made it through an entire episode. But who was the last one I watched? I started, I can't remember. There was one I two. I remember I wanted to tune in.

And by the reason why you were on a year-long hiatus is because you couldn't find nobody to join the super show. So guess what? Either gets canceled or get Sean Spicer. Thank you. And they've got some big names, you know, Loire. And they've got some names.

coming around that'll be fun to watch. Give me another one. I don't remember. I don't care. I don't care who they have in this season. Just because Mr. Tom Berger isn't happy with Sean Spicer

and the DWTS casting. By the way, this is season 28. Season 28. And by the way, you're right, because you open the story, you open the show with everybody's on Twitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's how Tom, you know, he posted, he goes, some thoughts about today. And then this freaking long as paragraph that he screenshot from his phone. Bro, that's not how Twitter works, first of all. Trudeau does not work that way. Tom, learn how it works. Maybe I don't know, call Sean Spicer. Although I will say, that's a way past the count. Yes, but we all know that that's not the way.

I know, but I like the thought. Yes. I do like the thought. way. The bypasses. Yeah. No. Have I given him credit for something?

Stop it. I'm not going to stop it. All right. So I'll give him credit for his little bypass thing. It's kind of a cute little thing, Tom. Good for you. But did you say that they had 28 seasons? Because, I mean, it's been a long time.

I know they've been on a long time. But it's one of those shows. You said they took a year off because they could. A year off. Because for real, they couldn't find any contestants. Yeah, they couldn't find a contest. Okay. So here's, here's the deal with Dan.

Dancing with the Stars. It's a great show. You know, it's a great idea for a show. It's a fun show. It's a fun show to watch. It is Tom is right. It's a respite from the political stuff. Absolutely. But it doesn't matter who's doing the dance. Just because Sean Spicer is dancing doesn't make it a political show. Absolutely not. It's just you know Sean Spicer from the political realm of life. If Sean Spicer wasn't Trump's do boy, that would have been okay. You've been okay with it. If Jay Carney, the communist for Barack Obama, wanted to be on Dancing with the Star, you'd be down there shining his boots. I guarantee it, Tom. But the reason that the show has been on for so long, and 28 years does seem like it's been 28 seasons.

Yeah, so it's 28 seasons, not years. Not years. It started in 2005. Okay. So from 2005 to now, how the hell do you get 28 seasons? You get two seasons a year. Oh, you do? Sure, you get, you know, they had their...

Or he could be a typo, and instead of 28, it could be 18. the two and the one are next to each other. Very possible that it's 18. I think it's 18. But the seasons, I mean, you could have two seasons a year, right? I don't know. I haven't followed Dancing with the Stars enough to know. I mean, it's easy enough to look.

But I bet you it's, I bet just they had a couple a year. You know, you had your winter season and your fall season. And they were taking summers off. Or they did summer and winter, summer, fall, whatever it was. Well, he's right. There is 28 seasons. I just don't understand this whole 28. I'm sure that's what it is, two a year.

So, but my point is, is that you were gone for a year and nobody was clamoring for Dan. Nobody was saying, hey, what happened to Dancing with the Stars? I want to tell you this. Did you notice that we're gone for a year? No, that's my point. Nobody said, what happened to Dancing with the Stars? No.

It's like they promote the heck out of it for the season, whatever season you're on, and you make it appointment to watch it or record it. And watch it at your own time, but you go back and watch and you enjoy it if you like that kind of thing. Or you want to see a particular artist. I want Sean Spicer. I don't believe I've ever loved Sean Spicer more than right now. And I've never loved him.

Oh, I did. And he's going to be too short to win. No, he's not. That's his advantage right there. Too short? It's no. They're going to give him at least a five inch platform for he's shoes.

Yeah. And he's going to know that. I'm saying three weeks. He's in. I want him to win now. Oh, I know. I want to win the season. I want season 28 to be owned by Sean Spicer.

Do you think Trump will tweet it? How good is my son? That's right. That's right. Yeah. Smooth spice. Yeah, because he's not like mush. Mush is in the curb now.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Mush is in the curb. But Sean, you know. Sean still is boy. Sean's still in. Yeah, you ain't lying. Sean is still in. He's been towing the line, man.

Yeah, I want him to win bad. Trump will love it. Oh, think about that. Oh. And then Sarah Huckabee next year. Think about it. You already have season 30. For season 30, Huckabee.

This is 28. You still got to have 29 before 30. Oh, okay. I don't know what addition plans you have in Puerto Rico, where you're from. So you don't go from 28 to 30? Yeah, you don't. I'm not a math wizard, 18, but I do know that you do go in line. You know, it's a succession of numbers is what it is.

It's how it works. One, two, three, five. So for season 29, I don't know. You bring in, um, you can bring in, you can bring in the Huckster. Thank you for 30, for 30. You know, I want 30 to be, you know, Sarah Hucklebee's, you know, time. So she builds up from now because she's running for governor, I believe, or she's trying to run for governor.

I don't know. That was Trump just. pushing her out the door. Yeah, you know, get out. You think so? Because I just got, I just got an email from her people,

which I didn't know her people, got my number. And she's launching this big event. So we might have Sarah Huckoldby in the show. She's fundraising.

She's fundraising for some big event. So we might have Sarah Huckoldby if we do have Sarah Huckoldby. I don't, I think I'll just fan girl. It'll be the worst. I would like to do the interview

and you could just be my backup. because Sarah Huckabee, she's a beautiful woman. Talk to her father and that gorgeous woman needs to be interviewed by me. Like, I love Sarah Huckabee. Play some music now. Sad. Sad. Sad.

All right, well, you might as well play some other music too because I've got, I want to talk a little bit about royalty. So. Now this. This is my cup of tears. Okay, so I don't really have a Windsor Whisper or a Royal Wanderer or whoever we're talking to these days. I just have a poll of the most popular royalty in the UK.

All right. So I know that, you know, there's other things swirling around the Royal Family as we speak as well. I'm sure you're aware of those stories, Chris Cruz. Oh, I am aware. Okay. You have the top list of the royals? This is the top royals.

Okay, so here's what I do. Most popular royalty of the UK. Okay. And I think what I'll do is I'll check on my papers. Every royal name that you give me, I bet you I have a story about them. I can't wait. Here we go. How we're starting this?

Number one. Oh, you're going to start for number one? Can we go the other way? Why do you want to go the other? Okay, fine. Number one it is. Here we go. Number one.

You do the countdown. That's how you do. taught me so number one here we go we go we'll do the top seven then okay that's top seven which is weird sorry from number seven

but I don't care about the others okay here we go number seven of the royals I don't care about them there are people those are just holder honors they're lucky they got to drop up blood in them as the rest of them maybe the top 10 but I don't even care about that by the way

number 15 was the Duke of York you know why he's number 15 I mean, see, that's what I say, that's what I'm saying. He got to ride with the queen, the queen showed him off a little bit and said, you know, this is all you're getting from me. This is all you're getting from me. And you're only 15 and nobody believes me. So we're done.

Have a nice day. So good luck. God bless. Take care. But Elizabeth. No, queen's busy. She doesn't have time for you right now. No, no.

Yeah, no. Again, we can't talk right now. So number one. The number one most popular royalty in the United Kingdom, you guessed it, you know where you love her, Queen Elizabeth. Well done. Well done. She was number two last year.

So she gained her spot on number one. And did you know that right now currently it is the British holiday? So the queen is, you know, at her summer vacation home. Of course. And she decided to interrupt her summer for the rarest first time because she needed to go and, make a new lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order. Oh, good. Paul Hughes is now the lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order

and she brought up her little hubby, 98-year-old. And she made hubby come out of retirement, right? He retired. He retired 2017. A couple years ago, yeah. And she said, uh-uh, let's go. Get in the car.

We've got to make this official. It wasn't heard publicly, but he said, hey, I've just been getting drunk and driving in my range rover for the last couple years you really want to come out of retirement. I can't have you get to come out of retirement. So Mr. Hughes received the Royal Victorian Order and it's awesome. Well, congratulations. Yeah, coming in at number two, the most popular royal parentry.

That's kind of surprising to me actually. I'm surprising that Harry's number two. Yeah. Number three? Hold on. I got a Prince Harry story. Get to it. Did you know that he is detrimental?

He's what? Dentrmental. Detramental. Oh, detrimental. Detramental. He might be detrimental too. There might be a dental case going on. So we have some issues because right now,

Prince William feels that Prince Harry and Megan Merkel are not following protocol and have snubbed the protocol and is negatively impacting the British Royal Family. Absolutely. And that comes because Megan feels like she is an A-lister of the rather than being a member of the Royal Family. I mean, they think that she is an A-lister. and the problem is that really, and I know some of you are thinking, but we're America,

why do we care about the Royals? Because I love the Royals. And I'm jealous and I should be in this list, okay? But if I, and if I would take a blood test to prove that I'm part of the Royals, but I digress. Megan is an A-lister. What she doesn't understand is,

coming from America, A-listers want to be part of the Royals. The royals do not want to be part of the A-listers, okay? The royals are separate from that. people A-listers want to be part of the royals. That's why A-listers get knighted, Megan, okay? And so, I mean, that's really, that's really irking them. Yeah, it is.

Number three is Prince William, of course. I mean, he's next. I'm surprised that he's not number two. That's surprising. I mean, he's next in line. He's probably a little pissed that Harry got number two. It's official. Prince William did tell Harry not to rush into a relationship with Megan Merkel.

Oh, yeah. This has made Prince Harry in a quote, ballistic. He went ballistic, according to Royal Insider, or Royal Whisper, said... You're quoting the story, ballistic. Okay, good. So, yeah, he says, according to a Royal Whisper, you're trying to wreck this relationship

before it's even started. Oh, he was pissed. William was like, dude, come on now. Go ahead and have your flings with her, but we need to slow this thing down a little bit. And actually, what was said was, bro. Man. Use her up, spit her out, but don't marry her.

What are you thinking about? I know you're in love. I know you're all in love with her, and she's jett her around the world, have some fun and then get rid of her. And then what they reported was the little of this in the story. But Harry's still pissed at him for it.

He is still pissed. There's no doubt. I mean, they've divided a lot of stuff. Yeah. They are not. They're not real happy. That's making us come between them. And that's a sobrily.

The Megan has to make America look bad. So what the hell? Number four. Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. You got a story about Catherine? I have Cassidy by Captain. Jeff Fisher. Did you know?

And we covered this, I think it was a couple days ago, that Prince Harry and Megan have been flying around the country in this non-eco-friendly aircraft for the last like four times. And then Elton is like, oh, no way about it. Well, I feel that Kate did this to just be like we're the best couple in the world. So, reports have come up. out that William, Kate, and their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

They flew commercial. They absolutely did that to slap them. And I have a quote here from one of the passengers that says, the family were set right in front of me. I flew, I flight this route all the time. And underweiser, boom, there she is. No one knew that we're in the flight. Later, I realized, that's.

Kate's mother who sat rose in front of me. So she's flying coach. No, they're not flying coach. She's flying coach. She's sitting. So she said she's sitting. I'm sorry. Right in front, there's Kate and her kids. And rose. Rose. Yeah, there's multiple rows in first class or business. It's only three. No.

There's only three. Maybe in the airlines you fly. Spirit only has three. So I'm going by what I experienced. Those aren't first class. What are those? The Spirit has, we have three business seats up front that you can fly with us. Don't even get me, don't. Don't do it.

Don't. Now, there's a difference between first class and business. I know the airlines present business as first class. But there are multiple rows of first class and or business in airplanes, or you could sit rows ahead. But there's, you've got, when you walk in, you've got what, one, two, three, four, five, You've got at least half a dozen before you get to the curtain. You don't want to look past the curtain. You don't know what's behind the curtain.

So you've got, that's two on each side. So you've got, you know, 20, right? So you have to get 20 at least 24. So you can say Rosa, sure. But I feel like that is amazing because we all seen, you know, Megan, Harry, and just the baby Archie. Here is Mama Kate with all her kids, husband, and royal nanny. And depending on the size of the plane,

you might have two on the window side and then you might have two or three in the middle that are business in first class. Yeah, true. Yeah, true. Putting on the side. But I feel like that she's flying coach. I mean, it's bad enough she had to fly commercial.

Okay. But she did slap him in the face on that one. Yes, she did. Yes, she did. Coming in at number five, Prince Philip, the old man, the drunk, the retiree. What do you got for me?

I got nothing from me. I told you he. Hey, we came out of retirement. I coming in at number six. Megan. Megan is six. Megan is six. Wow.

It's being confirmed that Megan and Prince Harry did want to live in Windsor Castle. Oh, yeah. They want to live there. And we have word of what the queen has told them. Yeah, Grandma said. When quietly, but firmly suggested the cottage. Grandma said, look at the time. Nope, we can look at that.

We have crews here. We're remodeling. I just can't. No. So Harry Megan asked if living quarters at Windsor Castle could be made available after the marriage. And the queen goes, no, no. My politely but firmly suggest that you instead go beside the Fogmore Cottage, which is my favorite home. It has five bedrooms.

It's a cottage. And it's still in the grounds of the Windsor Castle. It's out of the ground. And it's $2.9 million worth of makeover. and you can have that. You can do what you want with it. And by the way, I'm still angry with you and you're going to be going to Africa in a year anyway.

So, no, you're not a state of the castle. Move on, okay? You're lucky I'll let you marry her. All right, Harry. You're not moving into the... No. No. Move on.

And number seven. The worst royal of the bunch. So this is like the first family of the royals. The rest of them, that's why I mean they don't care. Like Camilla. She shouldn't even be on the list. She's not on the list. She's not a royal.

That's not enough. No, I'm sorry. Camilla. Camilla is a royal. Thank you from out back. Okay, that's where Camilla's from. So coming in at number seven is Prince Charles, of course. I mean, Chuck is number seven.

He's next in line too, man. And I mean, they... People do not like him. Look at that. People do not like him. I know. You tell me that someone that's not even on the line of succession, two of them, they're not on the line in succession,

are more favorable than you. Yeah. And you're next. Supposed to be. There's a reason why mom won't retire, okay, or die. Just saying. All right, let's go to the break room. I need a Coca-Cola zero sugar as it is.

Oh my gosh. Who's in the break room? Joining us in the break room today, a man known as a part, one of the Kendrick brothers, known as Mr. Kendrick, or just Stephen Kendrick, producer of the brand new movie that opens tomorrow around the country Overcomer

you can go for more information to overcomer.comer.com. Stephen Kendrick You know, first I looked at some of the reports and it calls you part of the crew of this movie. Is that fair, really? I mean, you're in the movie, you're produced the movie, you're Mr. Big Shot about the movie. there's the doubt playing here well a little bit yeah i get to stand up and be a part of help

drive the ship but i totally recognize there's hundreds of people uh below the bow that are rowing and blood sweat and tears are coming out of there so it has been an incredible journey for my brothers and i to be able to make these films so we're very grateful before we get into a little bit about what overcomer is about and and how important it is to to see this movie and kind of get a feeling for yourself about what the movie is about. I found it fascinating that you guys are doing these movies. You're in it. You're producing it.

You're being big parts of it. That's got to be a lot of work. You guys are putting in a lot of long days. Absolutely. It's really two years of work for us because we're writing the scripts. Yeah. And then we shift into pre-production, and then we're leading the whole production teams.

and my brother Alex edits the films. And then we're marketing them all the way through the, and then the resources that come out afterwards so that people can dive deeper into a subject. We're producing and writing a lot of those resources. So our wives would tell you, yes, we're working a lot. I don't know that that's good, but it is good. I mean, I don't know.

What are you going to do with your day if you're not doing that? Really, Stephen, what are you going to do? You're going to be home? Yeah, well, I'll go home and help homeschool my kids. It's what I would do. I have six kids. My brother has six kids. And so we're in church ministry for 20 years and then got into filmmaking.

And so we're just very grateful to be able to make films that families can go see together. And that we're promoting faith, hope, and love rather than trampling it in the theater. So this weekend is a great opportunity for people to see a very inspirational movie. in their theaters, and it's coming out in 20 countries, too, so we're very excited. That's fantastic. Let's talk a little bit about that inspiration, where that inspiration comes from in this movie. It starts with just a coach that is, you know, going through his everyday coaching life. He's coaching a basketball team, but then gets, you know, kind of a big shock in his life.

Absolutely. Like so many cities in our country, one of the main manufacturing plants in town, shuts down and half the town leaves and his state championship dreams are crushed he loses his team and he starts going through an identity crisis not knowing what he needs to be doing and the principal tells him well now we've lost our cross-country coach and you're going to have to coach that too because you don't have a team and so he doesn't even think it's a real sport and the only person that goes out for his team is a 15-year-old girl who has asthma and so he is frustrated Yeah, that's really frustrating.

It's struggling in his marriage. You know, it's like pick anybody in any position. If they lose what they pour their heart, soul, and their dreams into, and what they're known for, and what they're cheered for, and what they're good at, they can go through an identity crisis. No doubt about that. On top of which, I tend to agree with the coach that cross-country is, I don't know that I consider that full-time sport.

That's great. We have a lot of jokes in the movie related to that. You know, especially in the first half, there's a lot of laughter. And also, one of the good things about this movie is that, you know, it's not only the coach that is struggling with his identity. It's many of the other characters in the movie as well. So, I mean, you're getting the struggles of everyone. And also, in the end, we find that maybe we all kind of find ourselves.

Well, yeah, every generation is dealing with identity at a different place. You've got teenagers right now that don't know their place in this world and in Overcomer, Hannah. She's lost her parents. She doesn't know who she is. We're joined by Stephen Kendrick, of course, we're talking about the new movie that opens up tomorrow. Overcomer. You can go for more information at Overcomermovie.com. We were talking a little bit about the struggles of the characters.

during the movie how we're all searching for our own different identities at different times and you were telling us about Hannah and you know her struggle I was just I just I'm fascinated how everyone how you're bringing all the struggles together

well you got a coach who's lost this team a girl who's lost her parents and there's actually a man in a hospital bed who's lost his health and our father right now is in a hospital bed and he can't hold a fork or sign a check anymore. And so he went through a season of depression, just wondering, what is my place in this world?

Who am I? What is my value now? And we talk about this and overcome her because we believe the creator gets to define his creation and that the one who made us and knows us better than we know ourselves and loves us unconditionally, he's the one who can give us the greatest value. And when people find that and discover that, it actually helps them in every other area of their lives. So we introduce that concept and overcomer, but we do it in a very fun, entertaining way. And the movie ends with a huge state championship edge of your seat race that right now with our test screen audiences, they're on their feet cheering.

It's like they're cheering their own daughter in this race. So it's very exciting. That's great. Okay. So before I know you're busy and I let you go. and I'm excited that the movie opens up this weekend and everyone should go and see it. We're going to be giving away tickets to go see the movie as well, which I'll tell you a little bit about more during the program.

During the program, you can find out more about the movie at Overcommermovie.com. If I put a runner's gun, a starting a track gun to your head right now, what's the favorite part of this movie for you, Stephen? The last 20 minutes, it is quite the ride. Everything, the beginning of the movie is funny. The middle of the movie starts grabbing your heart, and the end of your end of the movie is, I mean, a lot of, you know, the testosterone kicks in a lot of ways

because something that nobody has ever seen before in a cross-country race happens in this film. And the way it unfolds is very inspiring and it's very challenging. But I just love to watch a, audience watch that last 20 minutes of this movie. I'm excited to see it. And one of the things, Stephen, that you and your brother invited me to watch the movie a couple weeks ago when we guys were here in Dallas is I suggest if you're going to watch this movie,

I suggest you bring some napkins, some tissues because everybody on that screener was crying their heart out. It was fascinating to see how those last 20 minutes are so key to that film. Yes, absolutely. And no, my brother Alex is an excellent storyteller, and he's really good at grabbing the heart. And if people liked fireproof or courageous or war room, our previous films, they're going to love Overcomer. It's our biggest budget, highest quality film. And I think the storytelling takes it to the next level as well.

And if you haven't seen the previous movies, when you get done seeing Overcomer, you'll realize, hey, I need to go back and see these other movies because I really enjoyed Overcomers. So you can find out more about that at all. Overcom. Stephen Kedrick, just a member of the crew for the Overcomer movie. Thank you very much for joining us today, man. I appreciate it.

This is where we do a couple extra stories away from the show that we put together for the Blaze Radio Network and the podcast. I just want you to realize that this story, adult recess, is booming because

being a grown-up is hard. That's sad, is what that is. But really, you know, they're talking about adult recess and they're talking about men and women getting together to play kickball and hopscotch and tetherball. They all got together at a park and had their little chicken nuggets and grilled cheese sandwiches. Then they got together and they played jacks and Yatsi and it was just so much laughter.

I think it'd do that anyway, and adults have been doing that for years. that was why they formed clubs and bowling clubs and golfing clubs and all other kinds of clubs because adults wanted to get away and relax a little bit but calling it recess is kind of sad it's kind of sad and that's because most of these adults

who are doing recess in the park these days are because they didn't have recess in school we took it away and now we're realizing oh my gosh you know what we probably should have been doing that all along because it's good to have a little respite from, you know, I don't know, work. And it's good for us to get out and move around and have a little fun every now and then.

But for the story to be recessed for adults is a good. It is a little much for me. Just a tad much. This story from the land of the United States, Puerto Rico. Here we go, baby. Your mother country. Motherland. And whatever.

By the way, side note of mother country, Greenland, you belong to us now. Absolutely. President has spoken. We're talking about this. Does not matter who the president is, Donald Trump, Obama Bush. If my president says, I want to buy Greenland, you say, for how much will you like? You don't give me a price. You say, so how much would you like to pay for it?

A dollar? Okay, it is yours, Mr. President, or Madam President. It is yours. So, from your country, Puerto Rico. This lady was on a yacht, of course, hanging out. You know, why else would you go to Puerto Rico? Absolutely. Yeah, and they're open, by the way.

If you're not on a yacht. Puerto Rico opened a month ago. So when it was closed? It was closed. Yes. No, you can't close a country. Yes, you can. The city of San Juan.

You can't close the country. That's what we're fighting over. We can't even build a wall. You can't close a country. According to the San Juan tourists, they just put a sign up and says, we're open. No, they said we're open. They're not just open.

Or they hit the little string and they So she goes She goes into a public bathroom For what reason? I don't know. I guess she was on land. I guess she swam in. She took

She boarded into land And was walking around. So she finds a cell phone in a bathroom. Uh-oh. And she brings, instead of just leaving it. It's the drug dealer's phone. Leave it alone.

Instead of just leaving it, she picks it up, takes it back to the yacht. Mistake. And she brings it back to the yacht because she figures when she goes back into the land, she's going to try to find who the owner give the phone back to whoever lost it, whoever left it in the bathroom. She found who the phone belonged to. I don't know where they, I don't know where they found her butt. That's what happened.

That's what happened. Okay. you stole my phone what do you think you're doing you did you keep him the handset you don't have the handset where's the handset and it's just the phone that's what I found I just found the phone

in the neck really? Yeah I told you that's a drug dealer's phone what are you doing if you're in Puerto Rico you don't even go to the bathroom What are you doing? You do not grab anything from the bathroom That belongs to the drug dealer.

What are you doing? I mean, the only way you take something out of a bathroom like that. You don't touch the bathroom. No, but if you went into the bathroom, let's say there was a phone, and there was some sort of container of money. Yeah, but if you could get out of there with the money. They know who you are ready.

No, they don't. You got a shot with the money. You got to take a shot. You got to take a shot and not just a... But you got to take a shot to get out with the money. the money. I didn't maybe stuff it down your pants. Stuff it in your shirts. Yeah. So I have a feeling that

your San Juan tourist board may have turned the we're open sign around. They turned it off. Yeah. So, I don't know, maybe pick someplace else to go. It's all the messes. Just maybe not go to Puerto Rico. I got nothing against Puerto Rico. Nobody's a bigger supporter of Puerto Rico

than this show. But I was just saying I might want to pick another Pick another spot
