Foreword

Our personal stories with Lord of the Rings

Themes we’ve gotten out of the books in the past

How fleeting evil is. History is cyclical, but the faithful need not worry. (Tom Bombadil) (“There was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach”)

Small people doing ordinary deeds can change the world - Diana Glyer

Good vs. evil, obviously. But more specifically, the asymmetric war of  good and evil. Good is eternal. Evil is fleeting. Evil is just twisted good. They are not on equal footing.

Tolkien’s almost overly defensive foreword -- extreme insistence that it’s not an allegory

Says if it were an allegory for WW2, the Free Peoples would have used the Ring.

Prologue

Setting the stage: Middle-Earth as myth and an alternate history of earth

Hobbits are seemingly unimportant, yet they change the world

03 Feb 2023Zoo Drag Queens And The Ice Princess Of Clown World01:12:45

Aldo Buttazzoni from PragerU is in the studio with Kyle and Adam to talk about the groomers at the zoo and on YouTube. They talk about the news of the week like the arrival of the new Ice Princess figure skater and how Super Mario Kart is real now but not for fat people. Also, dinosaurs have feathers now and we think that kind of ruins them.

 

Aldo Buttazzoni is the new man-on-the-street for Prager U and he went to the Los Angeles Zoo to ask people why they were attending a “family friendly” drag show. He also is wondering why YouTube’s algorithm is feeding LGBT programming to young children. Sam and Adam talk to Paleontologist and Professor Matthew McLain from The Master’s University about something we are always wondering about: why did Satan plant feathered dinosaur fossils in the sand to trick us?

 

Travis’ Game Korner strikes back, Weakly News from Adam Yenser is back, and Sizzler Facts goes to the movies! In the subscribers-only podcast, the guys answer questions from the Mailbag that get really theological and Aldo answers the Ten Questions!

Stories of the Week

Story 1 

Trump Retaliates Against Asian Murder Hornets With American Kamikaze Bears

  • Washington state is noticing a worrying new invasive species of Asian Giant Hornets called “Murder Hornets”

  • What other options did Trump consider?
  •  

Story 2 

Asking For Context Of Thirty Second Video Revealed To Be Racist Dog Whistle

  • Ahmaud Aubrey was followed in a truck in an alleged citizen’s arrest by two whites, a father and son.

  • When one of the men tried to use a shotgun to force the man to comply, an altercation occurred, in which Ahmaud was killed.

  • Everyone is forming an opinion based on 30 seconds of footage- which looks really bad- but does it provide all the relevant data we need to decide guilt? Is it okay to ask questions?

Story 3

 'It's Worth It If It Saves Just One Life,' Says Woman Who Supports Abortion On Demand

  • Hypocrisy of the left on saving lives… trying to keep abortion clinics open and shutting everything else down

  • Obviously would have to shut down cities, get rid of cars, planes, subways… 

  • As if a permanent lockdown on the economy won’t cost lives in the long run.  Even now the UN is warning about 260 million marching to starvation worldwide as a result of the economy being shut down. What about those lives?

  • If we don’t get back to work and produce things, pretty soon we won’t be just watching netflix and ordering in pizza every night. Things will get bad for everyone.

  • Planned Parenthood’s bizarre tweet on Mother’s Day

On this episode of The Bee Weekly, Kyle and Ethan are joined by Kira Davis! They talk about the Bee fighting the New York Times and winning, the Tolkien Society going full on woke, and also try to figure out what the heck “race-norming” is. As usual, there is glorious hate mail and plenty of weird news.

 

This episode is brought to you by a new Christian fantasy dungeon crawler, Deliverance.

Cows may also now look like Bane but on both ends.

 

They also have another Heroes of the Faith segment this time featuring Aimee Semple McPherson.

 

Kira then asks Kyle and Ethan if they know what “race-norming” is and how the NFL is applying the racist rules that the federal government uses but this time to deny damages and payouts to players suffering from brain injuries.

 

In the subscriber-exclusive lounge, everyone laughs through bonus hate mails, reads some fan mail, go over the week’s top subscriber-submitted headlines, and subject Kira to the Next Ten Questions.

06 Feb 2021The Bee Reads LOTR Episode 6: A Conspiracy and an Old Forest00:34:19

Kyle, Dan, and Jonathan Watson, of TheOneRing.Com, guide you to Crickhollow, where Samwise Gamgee’s conspiracy is unmasked, and then on to a spooky ancient forest that tries to kill the hobbits. Then, as Kyle puts it, a “cracked out hobo” comes to rescue them. It’s two chapters this week on The Babylon Bee Reads The Lord of the Rings!

Chapter summaries: Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry make it to the tucked away house in Crickhollow and also meet Fatty who with Merry has been getting the house ready. The three travellers all bathe together and sing (in separate tubs), eat food, and Frodo finds out that his friends have known all along about the conspiracy to get the ring out of the Shire. Their plan is to sneak out through a small gate in the hedge that separates Buckland from the Old Forest. We learn that the Forest is very much alive and at enmity with the “colonizers” of Buckland. The four hobbits going through the Old Forest quickly find the forest against them! Old Man Willow causes the hobbits to fall asleep, traps Merry and Pippin within its cracks, and almost drowns Frodo.  A cracked out hobo in the woods comes to their rescue!

Some questions or themes:

The fellowship seems to be borne in Chapter 5. Merry and Pippin refuse to let Frodo rush off into danger without them coming too.

The stouthearted loyalty of the hobbits in their friendship

The Forest being alive and at enmity and able to react to the trespassers

04 Oct 2024The Vice Presidential Debate Between Vance And Walz | The Babylon Bee Podcast00:49:28

In this episode of The Babylon Bee Podcast, J.D. Vance brings a hefty dose of "toxic masculinity" to the Vice Presidential debate, while Tim Walz' wide eyes showed passion that "danger is close." Meanwhile, The Babylon Bee decided to sue California over its dumb new "deepfake" law! On the international front, Iran figured it was a good time to lob some missiles at Israel, sparking a lively debate about whether the United States can afford interventionism. Finally, don't be surprised if your friendly neighborhood Christian pastor tells you it’s time for Kamala Harris and to not fight the culture war— because apparently, that’s where we’re at now.

Stories of the Week

 Disney Edits Controversial Mandalorian Scene So Baby Yoda Just Eats An Unborn Baby

Summary: Disney has edited its controversial scene from The Mandalorian, where The Child eats an unfertilized alien egg, so that the creature affectionately known as "Baby Yoda" will simply eat an unborn human baby instead.

  • Libs were mad that Baby Yoda ate an unfertilized alien egg.
  • May we also add that the alien egg, along with Baby Yoda, and along with the entire plot and cast of Mandalorian, is FICTIONAL
  • Buuuut abortion? Not so much.
  • Gina Carano loves us 

Progress: Biden Administration To Apply 'Black Lives Matter' Decals To All Attack Drones

Summary: Now this is progress: in a move to bring attention to issues of social justice in the United States, the Biden administration has announced that all attack drones used to bomb countries in the Middle East will have "Black Lives Matter" decals applied to them. Inspiring!

  • We’re not sure why everyone is acting like the Biden administration will be love, tolerance and rainbows. The Obama administration dropped over 26,000 bombs in 2016 alone. That’s 72 bombs a day.

Target Immediately Pulls Bible From Shelves After Church Of Satan Complains

Summary: After the Church of Satan complained on Twitter that Target was selling Bibles, the retailer quickly apologized and pulled the Bible from its shelves. The Church of Satan complained that the book was "Satanophobic." Its tweet got 666 retweets, and Target jumped into action, immediately responding to the tweet that the book was pulled from shelves.

  • We jest. But ACTUALLY: Target DID pull Abigail Shrier’s book after one person complained.
  • UPDATE: Target backpedaled again because a different trans person complained about censorship
  • We later found out 40,000 Gamers DID sign a petition to remove the Bible from Target after the retailer decided to ban Grand Theft Auto V from their stores. Target said “we don’t sell the Bible.”

In the fifteenth episode of The Babylon Bee podcast, editor-in-chief Kyle Mann and creative director Ethan Nicolle are joined by Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay, of the famed "Grievance Studies Affair" who submitted hoax studies to academic journals and got three of them accepted. Peter and James are self-proclaimed atheists who are politically liberal, but their work exposing how certain areas of academia prioritize narrative above truth is not only important but hilarious. They also care a lot about having meaningful disagreements and are actively fighting "cancel culture." We talk to them about the Grievance Studies Affair as well as their new book, How To Have Impossible Conversations. They also have a new project for facilitating impossible conversations called New Discourses.

As usual, Kyle and Ethan also get into a few news stories including John Bolton the walrus, vaping AR-15's, and Monopoly for Christian women. They extend the conversation with Peter and James in the subscriber-exclusive portion of the episode.

10 Sep 2021THE BEE WEEKLY: Fact Check Checks and Losing Your Job for Holding Common Opinions00:55:58

In this episode of The Bee Weekly, Ethan Nicolle is joined by Adam Yenser to discuss what happened this week, like a man losing his job for expressing an opinion half of Americans have. Also, who will check the fact checkers? There’s weird news, hate mail, and lots of tarantulas.

Ethan and Adam talk about their weeks and get into weird news. Keep your eyes out for the next Bee Interview with Jonathan Pageau which will be dropping next week. A bunch of tarantulas and a snake were found abandoned in a basement, a man tried to smuggle 350 pounds of meat across the border, and some weird human crab was dashing around a neighborhood. California is requiring gender-neutral child displays and toy aisles, Ford made a very gay raptor, and vegan speed-eating is apparently a thing.

Ethan and Adam introduce a new segment of Fact Check Check. Who checks the fact checkers? The Babylon Bee. Then they discuss a video game company CEO losing his job for expressing the controversial opinion that half of America shares that unborn babies should be protected from being murdered. There’s hate mail too and then Adam Yenser answers The Next Ten Questions in the Subscriber Lounge.

18 Sep 2020Puppy Murder/Threatening Riots/Weird Bible Stories News Show 9.18.202001:17:33

This is the Babylon Bee Weekly News Podcast for the week of 9/18/2020.

In this episode of The Babylon Bee Podcast, Kyle and Ethan talk about the week’s biggest stories like how Netflix is putting out films to show how bad something is by having actors do that thing, Democrats are threatening chaos and death if they don’t get their way in November, and a woman is marrying a tree. Kyle and Ethan do a rundown of the most weird stories of the Bible and come up with great band names like Stabbing Eglon.

Introduction

Welcome to The Babylon Bee, the only podcast on the internet where two pasty white guys tell you what they think about politics.

Kyle has a church visit horror story.

Stuff That’s Good

Kyle LOVES They Shall Not Grow Old - 2018 documentary by Peter Jackson featuring restored and colorized footage of World War I. No narrator, no framing, no commentary, just audio of actual World War I vets over the footage. Very few historical details, just the soldiers’ experiences. An incredibly moving film.

Ethan likes Norm MacDonald’s Based On a True Story Audiobook.

BEARS WANT TO KILL YOU IS BACK

Stories of the Week

New Netflix Movie Actually Murders Puppies To Teach That Murdering Puppies Is Bad

Democrats Reveal They Have Planted Dynamite All Around Nation And Will Blow It Up If Biden Isn't Elected

Summary: Democrats are offering their most persuasive case yet for Biden's election claiming that ‘A Vote for Trump is a vote for more violence’. They said if Biden is not elected  president they will detonate a series of explosives and millions will die. 

  • From Shadi Hamid at the Atlantic “A loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case not because Trump will destroy America (he can’t), but because it is the outcome most likely to undermine faith in democracy, resulting in more of the social unrest and street battles that cities including Portland, Oregon, and Seattle have seen in recent months. For this reason, strictly law-and-order Republicans who have responded in dismay to scenes of rioting and looting have an interest in Biden winning—even if they could never bring themselves to vote for him.”

Academy Strips 'Schindler's List' Of Best Picture Award Due To Lack Of Diversity

Summary: Schindler’s List is considered to be one of the greatest films about the holocaust and man’s ability to do good in the midst of evil-- well until now. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently ruled that films without representation from LGBTQ+ characters, people of color, and other oppressed groups would not be eligible to win Oscars. Sorry Schindler’s List!

  • According to The Academy’s new Best Picture rules—which go into full effect in 2024—films must meet at least two of four new standards that stipulate roles both onscreen and behind the scenes be filled by people from underrepresented groups, including race, women, LGBTQ and people with cognitive or physical disabilities, including the deaf and hard of hearing.
  • Who says they decide what the best picture is? “You can’t be the best unless you follow our rules” sounds like playground talk. 
  • Among the critics was actress Kirstie Alley, who didn’t mince words: “The new RULES to qualify for ‘best picture’ are dictatorial…anti-artist…Hollywood you’re swinging so far left you’re bumping into your own a**.”
  • It’s almost as if the racists are suggesting the criteria for best picture should be that it was a picture and it was the best one. 
  • Movies are one of the great ways to see into another culture and understand them better. Cultures should get their own films. 

Topic of the Week: Weird Bible Stories

There are a ton of beautiful, inspiring stories in the Bible. We all know about those ones. But there’s also a lot of weird stuff. Some nasty stuff too. 

  • The Bible shows us a true picture of reality, including the sad and horrific stuff, as well as the bizarre stuff no one can explain. 
  • Why do you think we shy away from telling these stories?
  • Why do you think they’re in the Bible?
  • Jael and the Tent stake (Judges 4:9-22)
  • Elisha and the she-bears (2 Kings 2:23-24)
  • Balam’s talking donkey (Numbers 22:21-39)
  • Stabbing Eglon (Judges 3:12-30)
  • Ezekiel baking bread over poo (Ezekiel 4:9)
  • God tells prophet Hosea to marry the prostitute Gomer (Hosea 1)
  • Nebuchadnezzar cursed to eat grass for 7 years (Daniel 4)
  • Elijah mocking the prophets of Ba’al- “Maybe your god is on the toilet!” (1 Kings 18)
  • Guy who fell asleep during a sermon and fell out the window (Acts 20:7-12)
  • Actually did a Bee article about this
  • Paul resurrected him! 
  • Jesus letting the demons go into the herd of pigs (Luke 8:26-39)
  • Jesus curses the fig tree (Mark 11:12-25)
