    Great idea about Tyrion dying.  Very funny.

    Dear Conservatarians,

     

    love  the Babylon Bee, and I love you guys even more for having Ethan Nicole on. Thank you. After a chapter in a Robert Crais Joe Pike novel, and that scene in The Revenant film, I too have been wondering where I could find a practical book in surviving in a world full of Alaskan brown-bears.

    I can’t imagine that I need to know any more than I learned in Bill Bryson’s comprehensive coverage of the subject in A Walk in the Woods

    I can’t imagine that I need to know any more than I learned in Bill Bryson’s comprehensive coverage of the subject in A Walk in the Woods.

    The Bryson book had some great bear quotes:

    Black bears rarely attack. But here’s the thing. Sometimes they do. All bears are agile, cunning and immensely strong, and they are always hungry. If they want to kill you and eat you, they can, and pretty much whenever they want. That doesn’t happen often, but – and here is the absolutely salient point – once would be enough

    This book also has some good advice regarding bears . . .

    Thanks for pointing me to Audio Mullet. A bunch of guys sittin’ around, shootin’ the breeze, guy-style, about guy-stuff like . . . Chesterton? That’s awesome.

    Thanks for having Ethan Nicolle on.  Truly interesting stuff.  Seems like he would be a fun guy to hang out with. Interestingly, I did some free lance writing for Veggie Tales for a brief period before they went to Netflix. I got paid a significant sum of money to write scripts that were never produced. (Suffice it to say, they were a company in leadership turmoil at that moment in time.)

    Thanks for the honesty, Stephen!  Your perspective means a lot since the life issue obviously isn’t at the top of your list of priorities, but you at least ask the right questions.
