we open ourselves to prayer for a movie to show on Saturday and during this online retreat weekend for Holy Relationship and we put out a poll and then people vote for different themes and then we see what the themes are. So for this week for the English poll the number three themes that came in. First place was letting go of judgments and taking back projections. Second place was allowing myself to freely communicate which fits in with all the transparency we've been witnessing on this Holy Relationship weekend. We just had a beautiful panel discussion last night that had the beautiful transparency with everyone on the panel and then of course Francis had a beautiful opening session Friday which was all about transparency and being in this deep purpose and seeing a new way of looking at the world and a new way of looking at relationships that is involving connection to spirit, connection to the light, connection to Jesus. Coming in third at the English poll was allowing darkness to move through. So those are really excellent themes for our movie and for our weekend retreat and then the Spanish poll was the same three but they were just reversed. Number one was allowing darkness to move through. In second place was letting go of judgments and taking back projections and third was allowing myself to freely communicate. So I wanted to open up today with sharing with you a bit of context. We have a lot of people joining us here from around the world and thank you so much for taking the time to to give your day over to this experience and we have co-living centers joining us from different parts of the world from Utah and Spain and Mexico and we're all here to open our hearts up in a spiritual awakening. A lot of times with A Course in Miracles people come across the book in many different ways and it's extremely profound and for them most of their journey becomes practicing A Course in Miracles practicing the teachings living the principles through applying the workbook lessons but oftentimes it's such a deep dive through interacting with the book and praying and connecting with spirit internally that a little bit of context can be helpful. What do I mean by context? What's the context for spiritual awakening? The deeper you go into spiritual awakening you realize it's not about personality development, it's not about self-improvement, it's not about making the world a better place, it's not about improving the human condition. You actually realize that as has been shared this weekend that it's about transcending a perceptual problem of complete sleep or we'll say falsity being completely circumscribed with false beliefs and false perceptions in which nothing is stable, nothing is reliable, nothing is consistent. Over the centuries we've heard talk in many cultures about heaven and hell and there's some point when people look around at the struggles and challenges that they're going through as part of the human condition and sometimes the thought will cross their mind, is this hell? Am I in hell? I'm not talking about a burning fire, I'm just talking about the struggles and pain and challenges and heartbreaks of the human condition and so it's interesting at this point in human history because when we seem to have a pandemic and we seem to be experiencing the usual ups and downs of human emotions that are related to the challenges and the struggles of seeming to be alive on planet earth at this time, the question could be raised, is there a context? Is there some kind of a bigger picture that would be helpful to me to be aware of in terms of my spiritual awakening? And of course there is. For me the context was reading the lives of the mystics and the saints, looking at the looking at the perennial wisdom of all the ways that point to transcendence of distorted perceptions, transcending false beliefs, transcending these fluctuating human emotions and coming to experience something that's far far beyond the world. And the context of that is is that with mysticism and with the lives of the saints they would occasionally have experiences where they would pierce the veil of perception and have these extraordinary mystical experiences. And I'd like to talk about a couple aspects of that because I think it relates very much to the movie I'm going to show today and to the whole context of spiritual awakening. The first thing I'm going to talk about is visions. This is quite common in many many spiritual traditions where where there'll be apparitions and there'll be visions that will appear and the main thing you need to know about that is that visions and apparitions are always meant to inspire you to go deeper into your direct connection with the light. They are not meant to induce fear. That's why for many people who say well I've I've read about visions and apparitions but I haven't had one it's because if there's too much fear in the mind the Jesus or Mother Mary or the angels are not going to appear to you in a form that will scare you. If if you if they would show up in your in your bedroom or your living room and you have too much fear that would not be helpful in your spiritual awakening it would be more traumatic than beatific. So these apparitions and visions must come when there's a readiness for them and there's also a sense of willingness for them and they can be extremely helpful in that context because they expand your faith in what seems to be the unseen and and if the mind is asleep and dreaming this world and it's addicted to these perceptions of bodies and distinct situations and circumstances and separate aspects of a fragmented world which is what the the Bible and Corinthians calls a looking through a darkened glass. If your mind has become accustomed to looking through a darkened glass then it is by definition afraid of the light. That's why the images were made to put a veil over the light. So of course the miracles is basically reminding us that you are afraid of your brothers and sisters because you are afraid of the light that is behind the veil. From the perspective of the mind that's asleep it it believes now that these images these bodies these places these planets these time-space situations are real and therefore what this is covering over is the light which is what is actually real. So everyone who believes they're moving through time and space as a human being is really what I would call they they're they're twice removed from reality twice removed from reality in the sense that the light of heaven has been pushed out of awareness and there's been a complete amnesia around light and then the darkness that comes from believing in something other than the light other than God that has also been pushed out of awareness. So that's your double amnesia that's your twice removed from reality the light has been pushed out of awareness and the darkness has been pushed out of awareness and so the human being seems to experience the world as if the world is reality when actually the world is a dream that is projected from subconscious fear from unconscious fear that's really what the world is. God didn't create the world the light didn't create the world the world is false images appearing real to a mind that's sleeping and dreaming and has forgotten that it's dreaming it's now in we'll say double oblivion in perception because it's actually taking the images to be real. Now in the context of a holy relationship online retreat and some of the things that Francis talked about on Friday which for some of you who are just joining the movie you can actually go to YouTube and and watch Francis's opening talk and may give a little more context for what I will be sharing today but basically when we think of relationships we come with the idea of of bodies whether you're thinking of relationships to other human beings or maybe you're thinking of relationships to your pets or to nature to the animal kingdom as well as the human kingdom and or even the insect kingdom and so on and so forth there's the thought of bodies is very much tied into relationships and as Francis was sharing on Friday actually holy relationship is pointing us to a state of mind to a shared purpose to another way of looking at the world and holy relationship is like the answer to a distorted fragmented perception holy relationship is seeing that you share a purpose with everything and everyone that you perceive without exception so when we begin to talk about healing through relationships you'll notice that I talk a lot about that relationships are mirrors of the mind relationships as they are perceived in this world are simply mirrors of of consciousness mirrors of thoughts mirrors of beliefs and that is the value that you have for the use of relationships with with Jesus and the Holy Spirit they had the holy relationship panel recently where I believe Eric was sharing the idea that you do not want anything that you want to come of a relationship that's pretty striking you do not want anything that you want to come of a relationship well what does that mean well it means that the things that you want from a relationship are the things that you still want to get from a relationship and as Francis was sharing that's the problem is the ego is the getting mechanism so when it thinks of relationships it thinks of what is it going to give me what is it going to provide me what am I going to get out of this that's the that's basically the mindset and the attitude of the ego what's in it for me what am I going to get from this it could be security it could be a sense of respect or attention it could be pleasure it could be one of many things but but be assured that if there is a belief in lack then the ego is going to use the perception of the world to try to fulfill the belief in lack from something in the world and that's that's the problem that that is the ego's use of relationships in fact that's not only the ego's use of relationship but that's why the ego made the bodies in the first place to perpetuate itself to profess perpetuate a belief in separation from god to perpetuate self-hatred to perpetuate feelings of abandonment to perpetuate feelings of betrayal and rejection wow that's why the world was made the ego made the world to perpetuate itself and it is nothing more than a death wish a belief to be something other than god created you to be so if we really come at it in a very direct and simple way as francis was doing on friday we can see that that the world was made out of a belief of in autonomy that you could have a separate identity apart from the christ apart from the light apart from god and then the ego's perception is everything and everyone must serve its mental slavery and perpetuate this sense of mental slavery by using people places things situations to reinforce separation how do you do that you simply look at the world as a place where you can get what you want and i assure you that anyone who comes to planet earth or to time and space doesn't really know what they want if they really knew that god and heaven were available they wouldn't come searching in time and space for something anything there would be no point to come so jesus tells us that everyone who comes to this world comes without a self and then tries to make one up as they go along well that is a real trip that's a fantasy trip that's a fictitious trip of looking for something in nothing and of course it it always ends in disappointment even though there's never really an ending it's a perpetuation of looking for love where it cannot be found so the context i mentioned about the visions is that when you have visions or apparitions it's because there's a part of your mind that's ready to be shown that there's something much more than this perceptual world of time and space can offer and there have been these appearances throughout time that are very very helpful in modern terms for those of you who study a course in miracles there's gary renard and and art and persa appearing on his couch in main that's kind of a modern day version of visions and apparitions that that's someone who studies a course in miracles might be familiar with but throughout the centuries these apparitions have appeared and they are striking when there is an appearance it it seems to be beyond the common accepted perceptions of the world and and we could say that that's why they're so striking because they're not expected it's almost like you could think of a of an appearance or a vision as like in some sense like a divine intervention to your mind to remind you that there's something way beyond this world to remind you that there's something that you've forgotten that you need to remember and it comes to you in in that way now there's uh those appearances and those visions are always perceptual so they're always just the holy spirit's use of symbols to reach the mind with with a reminder with a message and then beyond perceptions there's what we call revelation and jesus talks about revelation at the beginning of his his text he talks about revelation and miracles in the context miracles are always more interpersonal they're they're much more helpful at the beginning of your mind opening up to the light because the mind has to relate to symbols and miracles are very interpersonal they they give you a reminder of the peace of this they're like a little snapshot of the of the calmness of the tranquility that is available at any instant and that's why jesus called his course a course in miracles because the miracles help stabilize your perception from being so up and down and so variable and so inconsistent to starting to to become consistent when your mind is consistently miracle minded then you you're going from upside down perception to right side up you you're seeing things from the perspective of the mind and seeing the false is false that's why there's no order of difficulty in miracles and there's no hierarchy of illusions because when you are in your right mind you can calmly look upon any scene or appearance in the world and i mean calmly you is stately calm it's so so so peaceful and beyond the realm of miracles there's what we could call revelation and jesus talks a lot about revelation revelation unites you directly with god that's the revelations aren't a snapshot they are a direct experience of the light beyond the veil they come from god but there is no reciprocal arrangement in revelation that's why the things are revealed the light reveals itself to your mind directly and there is no contribution from the human being in this revelation and jesus says the emotion of awe is reserved for revelation because you are directly one with the light in your experience and that is coming from god and jesus can can help with the revelation readiness they're very rare it's very rare and and yet jesus is preparing the mind to have that revelatory experience helen shuckman the scribe of the course had a revelation in a subway when she was in new york city i've had friends throughout my life that i've known who have had revelations and and their entire perspective of the world is changed significantly because once there's a direct experience of the light you never really look upon the world in the same way and i had three revelatory experiences where i completely merged with the light and it's just such your mind it sets your whole purpose and your whole perspective of the world in in a new context that's what i mean by a broader context once you have a direct experience of the light you never see anyone or anything in the same way you don't perceive relationships in the same way that you once did you don't perceive time in the same way that you once did so how does that relate to holy relationship well holy relationship as francis was sharing is is a perspective on the world and this perspective has to be taught and learned in you might say over and over in terms of of time in order to experience it in a stable way so miracles kind of give you a glimpse or a snapshot of the perspective but holy relationship is is a phenomenal teaching learning uh accomplishment you might say that your purpose as seemingly a human being in this world is to train your mind to come into the experience of the holy relationship and this is not a relationship between two people this is a perspective on looking upon the whole world when you're in holy relationship you are in holy relationship with everyone and everything is francis was sharing this is not between people or between people and animals or between people and trees or people and nature this is a perspective in which you could say you experience everything as unified it's in quantum physics it's called the quantum field and that quantum field is just a state of awareness that everything is absolutely connected now this is frightening to the human being even einstein albert einstein who is respected and revered as is one of the greatest he just was a fear of the connection in the mind because everything that is perceived as separate is based on the ego and this perspective that that involves holy relationship is is inspired and shared of the holy spirit so this is allowing the holy spirit to show you through teaching and learning through a purification of thoughts in awareness and coming to the highest state of consciousness that you can possibly achieve the tippy top of consciousness is this enlightened perspective that we could call happy dream or the real world or true perception we could call it the quantum field it's it's what everything is about this is where learning ends and you might say there's an end to learning yes it seemed to have a beginning and it will seem to have an end there's no learning in heaven nothing needs to be remembered in heaven nothing is apart from the light in heaven and revelation shows you that you have a direct experience of of the light that simply is that simply is heaven but in this realm we could call time and space and the sleeping mind the top goal is forgiveness and and the accomplishment of forgiveness is the holy relationship this is the the symbol of the forgiven world where you see that you are in absolute relationship with everything and everyone now the the panel that was last night on the relationship panel there was a beautiful witness of transparency because in order to experience holy relationship you must learn that you can keep nothing hidden and you would not want to keep anything hidden because what is hidden is is pushed out of awareness it's it's the subconscious or the unconscious and as long as there is a value of private thoughts as long as secrets seem valuable then you will dream a dream of fragmentation and those secrets and those private thoughts will seem to be acted out in the dream that you perceive and it's not going to be a happy dream it's secrets never produce a happy dream private thoughts never produce a happy dream the the ego will say wow it's not so bad you you can fantasize of of things that that will give you a sense of happiness but what the ego doesn't tell you is you never really find happiness in a haven of guilt it will try to make specific things lifestyle things that are good in its judgment and it says here's a little haven in a storm of guilt just stay inside the haven don't mess with the rest it's it's wicked but stay in the haven uh don't go out into the storm and of course we have tried that we tried to make a little haven of peace in a storm of guilt and it has not worked because because there were still subconscious beliefs and thoughts that were underneath and those always continue to generate a storm so the movie that we've been given today to open up to this holy relationship perspective is a very recent movie and I I've actually never shown this movie so for some of you who've been watching the movie watchers guide to Enlightenment and maybe you've seen me show various movies over and over to approach this beautiful forgiven state of mind this movie is the first time that I'm showing it and the movie is called Fatima this is a movie about the occurrences from over a century ago in rural Portugal north of Lisbon in out in the the rural areas of Portugal a little bit north east of Lisbon and that's where Fatima is and some of you might know that in the Bible it says a little child and a little child shall lead them well in this case we are going to have three children and their names are Lucia and Francisco and Jacinta and these three children are going to experience a vision in fact it's not just one vision it's going to be a series of visions and this is a beautiful teaching in cracking open the mind towards the light and towards holy relationship because this movie is with these three children it's not so much a movie of a man and a woman coming together as soul mates to try to to reach God together this is a movie of three children who see something and it speaks directly to their mind uh it's basically Mother Mary appearing to them in out in nature uh and appearing to them in six different appearances that basically she has a message for them and this is very similar to to Jesus and the Holy Spirit with the Course there's a message there's a message here there's a message that you're to receive and there's a message that you're to strengthen in awareness by teaching it teaching it to learn it it's not an accident that you come across the me or the Course it's not an accident that that there are things that speak to you from from this book and like these three children once you come upon this message then you are called upon you are given a mission you are given an assignment to teach and learn this for yourself and the one thing that's so beautiful about this movie is the time frame first of all the the movie takes place I believe around 1917 so that's over a century ago but the appearance of Mother Mary is coming 19 centuries after she appeared in Galilee so this is an apparition that's coming 19 centuries that's over 1900 years after the the appearance back in the days of of her son Jesus and so this is this is a very profound experience because for the children Lucia's mother is very devout Catholic and she prays the rosary and many Catholics of the time are are praying to Jesus praying to Mother Mary praying to the the saints for help this is the context of World War one going on this is 1917 is the year before the the the last huge pandemic was on earth the Spanish flu now we're dealing with COVID-19 but this rolls us back to just before the Spanish flu swept around the world and also in a time of devastation in Europe with World War one the the horrific perceptions of war of bodies being torn apart children not coming home to their families if that they've gone off to fight in war and and many many young men dying in the war this is a time of poverty in Europe extreme poverty in Europe this is an extreme time in human history and it that's why I think this movie is also very relevant for us right now because we don't have a world war going on now but we are we have a pandemic going on and and when there seems to be extreme crisis in terms of poverty hunger you know just extreme conditions for what we would say survival of the body there can be a crack and an opening for this greater context in spiritual awakening and that's what I want you to really experience in the movie today that this is an opportunity for you to get in touch with the greater context of of spiritual awakening to have a piercing in the mind as Jesus says you can learn from the experiences of others he says in the course you can learn from my experiences and all of Jesus's teachings are pointing to a transcendent experience that goes beyond time and space Jesus is not trying to make better worldly conditions he's not trying to improve the human condition he's teaching that forgiveness through forgiveness of the ego and of illusions you can remember God you can remember the light and this light I could say words about this light but once you have a direct experience of this light then you realize by contrast that there's nothing that this world offers that could even slightly compare to the experience of reality of of the light so in this movie we have three children who are friends and they're they're just going out and they're out in nature and they're just going out to be together like three childhood friends and they are going to have an experience of this vision and initially one will see it first Lucia some of you know the story of Jesus Mary Magdala was the first to see the risen Jesus why because she was ready remember I talked about readiness and willingness she was ready and willing she wasn't frightened by seeing an apparition of the risen Jesus and then she of course went to the upper room where the apostles were all locked in and barricaded and she said I have seen him so now we have in 1916 here in rural Portugal we have three children that are are going to see the mother Mary appear to them first Lucia the oldest of the three and then Jacinta will see her and then finally Francisco will see her as well and it's that's even beautiful it's kind of cascading you have to be ready to see some of you might have seen the the movie with Robin Williams what dreams may come where he seems to to die to pass away and then he he starts to see various people he sees somebody that's like a helper to him a teacher and and he's saying why can't I see my children I want to see my children and his his guide says when you're ready you will see them so this apparition for these three children is based on their readiness they're they're actually ready and willing for this and that's why they they can they can apprehend and and experience this vision because they're ready it's some it's a symbol that that their hearts are ready for now what I like about this is once these three children see mother Mary at first Francisco he cannot hear her he can he can just see her and he has to have the two girls what what's she saying the girls are so ready they can hear mother Mary and see mother Mary and he's like what's she saying he's they they fill him in this is beautiful too because it just shows you that that you'll see the real world you'll see the happy dream when you're ready and and not an instant before you're ready to see it when you're willing and you're ready it's there there's nothing the light is holding back it's just that when you have a state of fear and you have a state of doubt if you have a state of mind where there's still attack thoughts you will not perceive the happy dream because the mind's not ready the mind still is an investment in in attack thoughts and judgments and doubts that's what our movie pole was you know that's how we we transcend the judgments and the doubts it's through faith and you'll notice with these three that that there's a lot of talk about praying the three children are very used to praying praying the rosary uh why the rosary well this is this is a catholic family a catholic society and they pray the rosary it's part of their devotion hail Mary full of grace you know it it it's part of their practice and to me this is why it is mother mary appearing to them it's coming in the context of their belief system uh lucia's mother is praying a lot to mother mary there's a lot of rosaries coming and a lot of prayers but also we we learn with with lucia's mother is that there's still quite a bit of fear mixed into the prayer in the sense that she's praying for an outcome her son has gone off to fight in the war in world war one and she is praying to mother mary for his safe return so she's not necessarily praying praying for world peace or praying for enlightenment but she is praying fervently with her her prayer beads and her rosaries for the return of her son the mother is quite fixated on this outcome she wants her son to come back and she's prepared to do any kind of sacrificial prayers or is whatever it takes to pray to mother mary to deliver her son back so you also get a sense from this movie about the the the ladder of prayer that jesus talks about in the song of prayer where jesus says you know as long as you believe in this world you cannot help but pray for specifics pray for this one to get well pray for this one to have a safe trip or in the case of the movie pray for my son to to make it home safe alive back from the war and yet war is probably the most extreme example in terms of perception of the belief in separation from god uh for most people on the planet when they see what seems to be the horrors of war of of people humans fighting against other human beings killing other human beings in droves for some kind of cause so-called cause or something in the world then this is an extreme and so we are going to see that that uh one of the messages of mother mary to the children is basically she's going to say my son she's talking about jesus is offended my son is offended now for you of course a miracle student she's like why is jesus offended by anything in the world why would be jesus be offended uh by a world war even uh the christ is the pure light the christ has no offense the christ knows heaven the christ knows the oneness the christ is one with god how how is mother mary's message of my son is offended is greatly offended and it's basically she's saying pray i'm calling you to pray i'm calling you to pray the rosary i'm calling you to pray because it's not that christ is offended by the world war it's that the mind that's sleeping and dreaming is offended by its belief in the ego by belief in something other than god when you pray you're praying to heal the offense in your own mind which is the ego you're praying to let go of a death wish you're praying to let go of that which is has nothing to do with god never has and never will you're praying to let go of the separation so to me i thought this is beautiful in the context of 1916 a world war happening three children off in the fields and mother mary's come to say my son is offended and you need to pray well i don't think the message is any different for those studying a course in miracles you know if you're offended in your relationships you are offended by christ you are offended by the light if you're offended by your partners if you're offended by your children if you're offended by politicians and their actions if you're offended by the pollution of this world or or the the divisions the different polarities political polarities polarities in countries if you're offended by military coups taking over democratic countries if you're offended by cancer or all seeming forms of sickness you are offended in the light it's the ego awareness that is taking offense and it's afraid of the light the problem is not in the world the problem isn't with your partner the problem isn't with your neighbor there's my buddy antonio from portugal saint antonio this is your movie this is fatima there is no way escaping this antonio if anyone is offended in anything of this world they are offended because they are holding on to the ego belief system and we're going to have mother mary beautiful mother mary come and say to us pray pray use the power of prayer she's going to deliver back in 1916 the same message of a course in miracles that prayer is the medium of miracles you don't need careers to reach god you don't need special relationship partners to reach god you don't need possessions to reach god you don't need physical comforts and conveniences to reach god prayer is the medium of miracles miracles light the way to awakening miracles make your mind ready for a revelation for direct experience of god's love direct experience we're not talking about concepts here we're talking about an actual direct experience of the light and that's what mother mary is offering she is a symbol she is a vision that's saying you need to pray prayer is the solution trying to make interpersonal relationships better is not the solution trying to improve the planet earth with more devices more mechanisms more technology you know more improvements in terms of of physicality that's not what is asked for the prayer of your heart what did jesus teach in the sermon on the mount blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see god that's what jesus taught and that's what mother mary is teaching she's saying pray you have a very powerful mind and you have a means of reaching god directly of remembering who you are as the christ and remembering your beloved creator through the power of prayer he's the message is not you need more money the message is not you need better conditions on earth this message is coming to these three children and this is during the times of a world war where there seems to be poverty and and bodies that are coming back to portugal bloodied limbs missing broken bones you know bloody bodies and and here is mother mary coming with this beautiful message now what i like about this movie is once these three children see mother mary and they do listen to her there she is appearing to them and they they're all ears she's coming as a presence from heaven into their lives and as soon as they take in her message they basically look at each other and say we have to promise each other we're not going to share this with anyone but you know how that goes when you make a promise to your your friends i'm not i'm not going to share this as soon as soon as the cat gets out of the bag as soon as you start to share this it's going to be a revolt and and who is going to be offended the ego is going to be offended now the ego may take many forms it may seem that your own mother is offended that you that you just saw mother mary after she's been praying the rosary for decades and now your 10-year-old daughter is like oh yeah i saw her she talked to me you you want to see mom get upset just just tell her i just saw mother mary the one you've been praying for all those years with her beads yeah i just saw her out in the grass i talked to her she talked to me if you want to see politicians get upset if you want to see the church get upset if you want to see the priest get upset if you want to see the the monsignor get upset if you take something directly from from spirit and you're told to teach what you would learn honestly teach what you would learn i know this word came up in the relationship talk last night honesty well honesty from jesus perspective is consistency and these three little ones have seen mother mary and now all they are required to do is be honest about it to receive the message and to give it away but this message is deep this isn't your typical message this is a message of returning to heaven and watch how the ego reacts to such a simple pure citing and simple pure message watch how the mayor of fatima reacts watch how mom reacts watch how the parents react watch how the the the priest react watch the reactions of the world of time and space to the light if you doubt that you are afraid of the light watch how the world reacts to this simple message of prayer and love now how does this relate to holy relationship well some of you have noticed that when you follow your spiritual calling that sometimes your partner will react or your parents will react or your children will react or the neighbors will react or society will react it why is this surprising why is this surprising these are just doubt thoughts in the mind that are acted out so that you can let go of the doubt thoughts that's all the whole point is to let go of the doubt and the fear to let go of the belief in attack and to be in alignment with the light it's really very simple but when you are offended by a partner or you are offended by a friend or offended by an event that seems to occur in time and space Jesus is telling us Mother Mary is telling us pluck the offense from your mind you are not offended by something outside of you you are offended by an ego attack thought or judgment that you're still holding on to you're offending yourself by believing in the ego because you're Christ self is not offended that's just what is the light is not offended but your mind that believes in these attack thoughts and judgments that's where the offense is occurring so these sweet little children are like little saints they are little mystics because they basically have received a message and they're happy they're happy that mother Mary appeared to them and gave them this message and they're happy they're happy to give it away and then they're going to be met with the doubt thoughts of the ego which was basically will say you didn't see that that didn't happen to you and you have to recant you have to tell the truth that's what the world is going to say to these little children tell the truth tell that you were lying tell that you made the whole thing up and yet their purpose is to simply give away and teach what they would learn you'll even get a sense from this movie that the the the little young girl Jacinta when she passed away the following year from with the Spanish flu we get a little snippet of a reminder that when they exhumed her body this little seven-year-old at that time will say the eight-year-old body of Jacinta when they exhumed the body of Jacinta it had not decayed some of you know the story of Parma Hansa Yogananda you know after Parma Hansa passed away his body remained in a state of non decay for days for weeks and this little seven-year-old who saw Mother Mary her body did not decay when they exhumed the body that's just a symbol these are all just symbols but this is just a symbol of devotion if this little seven-year-old can can see Mother Mary and and stay with the truth of what Mother Mary was saying to her you can do it too we can do it if

That's three entries Jason S. Bought to that's an entry Josh K. Bought to that's an entry Kurt bought to that's an entry mark bought to that's an entry Richard bought to that's an entry Scott bought to that's an entry Shane bought to that's an entry That's it Yeah, enough with enough with that Nelson otherwise. Well, we're gonna have to ban you All right, let's get all these names here and let's roll it and randomize it six and a five eleven times You make sure I got everybody so Shane got to Scott got to Richard got to Mark Kurt Josh K Jason guy EA Ben and Aaron. All right, so let's roll Reranimizing it five and a six eleven times name on top gets the chargers One two three four five six seven eight nine ten and Eleven the final time After eleven times congrats to Mark. There you go mark. You have the chargers Well, I need to copy your name not all the names There you go. You got the chargers in this break nice congrats There you go. The final printout hot off the presses Thanks everyone for getting in and Good luck Let's open up this case Box all over the place here. So there's five ten 15 and 20 boxes Right there Good luck everyone. Thanks. I'm looking up a handful of boxes at a time Does anyone have any predictions for for Saturday's slate of games? Indianapolis at Buffalo is the early game. I Think India is still plus six plus six and a half I think it's been holding at that number pretty much all week Kurt saying go Washington Brad says Hawks over Rams Stop Cory. I I put some early or some early investments on some teams here. I got I got Colt's plus six and a half at Buffalo Things one of those things where I think Buffalo is gonna win But I think it might be closer than people people will think I Think I think Colts will cover. I don't think they're gonna win though Teddy who do you have for Rams at Seahawks or who do you have for? Yeah, I think I think the Rams are plus four and a half. That's what I took them at I think that game Bills is the early game. Yeah, I mean bills have been playing well, but I don't think they've been playing like Anyone particularly scary in the recent weeks, right But yeah, they disappeared in the second half that's the concerning thing about the Colts There's David and Yoku right could Jonathan Taylor is needed in this game There's CD lamb rookie relic For the Cowboys. Where's my list? That'll be for Dallas. That'll be for Shane Sometime tomorrow Chris It's got to fill up first there. We're still we're still if you look at the schedule You can see the details, but we're still a little ways away from filling that up But at some point tomorrow, I would think it's Dion Jones And there's our first Justin Herbert Rookie card and there's Phillip Rivers for the Colts Looks like orange velocity. I think is what this pattern is, right? Or are they calling them laser print? I don't know what those orange ones are, but Anyway, I Like it looks cool. And there's Justin Herbert market Got the Chargers So Brad's pointing at the last they've outscored their last three opponents 142 To 54 But who are those opponents? Right, I guess dolphins was a big win But I mean is beating the Patriots 38 9 really anything beating the Broncos 48 19 anything You know like that's not the Colts Colts are a playoff team there and they they kind of blew out the they blew out the dolphins, but I Mean that's not really a playoff team either as it turns out. I don't know if that's really saying much They out they outscored bad teams. They beat bad teams by a lot Uchi Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield Bills are good. Don't get me wrong But I think I Think it might be closer than one thinks At least that's what I'm thinking, you know, that's that's why I've put the play on the Colts I could be completely wrong, you know, which is entirely possible, but Josh only so only a second playoff game, correct. I think they should have yet But he's a much different quarterback now though I think it'll be a good game. I think be a good good game Right last two playoff teams they played there There you go was a 10 point and nine point when Pittsburgh in Seattle Right see that that's that's a lot. That's a lot more closer And if you look at the metrics you can even argue that the Colts are better than Pittsburgh in Seattle So then maybe I don't know maybe Vegas has the line spot on maybe it will will be like a six-point game or something like that couple boxes Rusty saying bills are winning at all market 841 Pacific time a 41 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, January 8th, 2021 Rusty Santa in the chat saying bills are winning at all market Someone's screenshot that I guess they could I mean that I don't see why not they'd have to get through the chiefs That's gonna be a tough match up against the chiefs in Kansas City Although no crowd so maybe that kind of takes away the Kind of takes away the home field advantage, but So might be really cold I don't know. It's cold and Buffalo too, right? So maybe that doesn't matter. It's Jameson Crowder Jerry Judy orange Matches the color of the team that goes to Denver and it'll be for Josh Kay There's our first Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengals Ben With the Bengals gets the Joe Burrow Josh Kelly There's Brady for the Bucks Scott Blackwell Yeah, it sure did Randy how much is a Much is Chase Young how much of a disruptive force will he be? Against the Washington football team against the Tampa Bay Tom Brady. What is it? Who does everyone have there? Bucks Primetime game Saturday primetime Bucks at Washington I think I took them I invested in them at plus seven and a half, but it looks like they're at plus eight now So that line is not moving in my favor, but I think I think Washington keep it could keep it close as well You know if I don't think they're gonna win But can they keep it close? I don't know. I guess the Washington offense is gonna be kind of an issue But if their defense is pretty legit if they could keep Tom Brady off balance, you know kind of bug them a little bit Not let them get comfortable That might be the key right there So I've got Indian app for Saturday. I got Indianapolis plus six and a half. I got the Rams at plus four and a half I've got Washington. I've taken all dogs on on Saturday. I like dogs We'll see. I'll see how that turns out tomorrow. My regular season picks record has not been good this year. So Might have to take those picks with a grain of salt. What about Sunday? Anyone have anything for for Sunday? Okay, Brad got weather report for us in Buffalo. It'll be clear in low 30s by game time Seattle clear and near 40 degrees game time and rain expected in Washington DC tomorrow night highs in the 30s Could there be I Don't know at what point does snow happen at that point. I don't know weather. I don't know snow Or is that still rain? I don't know. Maybe that means a slower paced game, which would favor the points low scoring game favors of the points maybe a garbage touchdown at the end for the Washington football team to cover Yeah, Antonio Gibson puts in work on the ground Mark Missouri the Washington football team who knows he looked good in that Thanksgiving game Anthony Harris Raquan Davis Christian Kirk Miles Jack Devin assi assi Darren Waller Tray flowers Kenneth Murray, I like how the I like how the Fitzpatrick's are right now next to each other Ryan and make a Fitzpatrick right next to each other Michael Pittman Jr. Silver I don't know Travis. What if he has a big game? I like rookie silvers. What if he has a big game? Phil Rivers couple touchdowns to him This cards would skyrocket at that point. It was Jake from State Farm. So Jack No, I do we did not see any Vikings as of yet. I guess Justin Jefferson's are what we're looking for for you So no nothing on the Vikings front We still have many boxes to go as you can see on the top screen there DJ Dallas been getting any playing time Here's another rookie silver for the Seattle Seahawks Jason to do. Oh, yeah, Travis ain't that'd be great. Oh DJ Dallas did get work when Carson got hurt This is this is the fun part about the hobby I think is like you'll get these cards right and you'll be like, all right now I want to now I want this guy to look to do well this weekend Mr. Man, what's up? Will there be random autos and patch cards in here? Yes blaster boxes tend to be lighter on the relics and the autographs So it's mostly the hunt for the hunt for rookie cards and and it's been parallels But every once in a while, there'll be some relics and with a CD lamb relic that popped a little bit earlier But I think autos are gonna be few and far between really what we're looking for is You know the big rookie names at quarterback or rookie silvers Stuff like that, especially in the blaster boxes in the hobby boxes. There can be more expectations for For for hits There you go, there's a Justin Jefferson Townsend at the orange velocity parallel here. He's pretty good If it wasn't for Justin Herbert, he might win rookie of the year offensive rookie of the year. I Mean, I guess there's an outside chance. He's still good. He's Jared Pinckney rookie silver Atlanta Falcons That'll be for guy And here is a relic rookie gear relic chase young Mark Mazur with a watching football team. He may be chasing down Tom Brady all day long Jason Pierre Paul though on the other side of that game tomorrow Right and Graham Adam Thielen. All right halfway through this break ladies and gents Anyone having thoughts on I know Anyone having thoughts on it's two days tomorrow Saturday That's the more immediate games, but what about looking ahead to Sunday? Who's got thoughts? Who do you think's gonna win? Here's what I have. I am increasingly hating this pick that I made early on I may have to hedge out of it, but Baltimore at Tennessee. I took Tennessee plus three and a half I don't know why I did that now The more I think about it the more I don't like that pick Like I actually kind of like the Indian app my indie pick I kind of like my Rams pick You know, I think that Washington picks a little spicy as well But I'm looking at Tennessee plus three and a half right now and and I'm and I'm disliking it. I Mean the only way this happens is if Because Tennessee's been giving up a lot a lot of points Our defense hasn't been as strong as it was say last year. I think when they were in the playoffs They need Derek Henry to really just run wild But if Baltimore takes a lead exactly and that's what I'm saying Tennessee has no defense Yeah, I'm not liking that pick That must have been my second Jameson when I made that pick I'm not liking that My only shot is if maybe if Baltimore starts off flat and if Tennessee maybe lucks out and takes an early lead Ravens tend to have a little difficulty coming back from From being down they're a good front-running team, especially since they run a lot They can control the ball a lot more and they're great with the clock if they're ahead But then again, Tennessee's defense is bad. So maybe they can come back from a deficit. I don't know. I'm not liking it They're a bit of a revenge factor. I didn't didn't Tennessee beat the Ravens last year So maybe the narrative works against me as well It'll all depend on Lamar's fiber levels, right if he has if he has He has a high fiber meal the night before Or the day of Nice the morning game. So yeah, maybe high fiber night before you get get get the Get the digestive system activated You know that might that might activate super Lamar Jackson take the next level Yeah, Travis thinks the Ravens will win it. See, I thought they would win it I but I thought it'd be close, which is why I obviously took Tennessee But I'm thinking it might not be that close I'm not liking that pig Teddy, who do you have? Baltimore at Tennessee That doesn't matter straight up or spread. However you want to do it now. They're Justin Herbert for the Chargers for Mark There's JK Dobbins Baltimore's gonna win pretty easily you think What do you think by how much a K Dobbins might be a big factor in that Ravens game? True true. Yeah, Tennessee's Yeah, I guess I don't know this that's just my fault for thinking it I'm thinking about last year's defense. Henshey's defense was right They ran into that Ravens or the Bill's bus saw you don't like to it, but but your your anti-Lefty though Look out for Devin DuVernay ladies and gentlemen. He's been he's doing a lot of special team stuff I've seen him rattle off some big runs there There could be a special moment at the playoffs for him Tyler Boyd blue going to the Bengals Ben with that one Not numbered but a different parallel then we got a quiche on Vaughn relic for the Buccaneers That'll be for Scott Blackwell. There's Teddy Bridgewater There's a Jalen Hertz for the Eagles That'll be for Kurt I'm like I'm liking what I've seen in Jalen Hertz He keeps that up next year Saves Doug Peterson's job next here. It's been Danucci for the Cowboys. That'll be for Shane Javon Kinlaw Anthony Miller and Teddy's favorite to a tango by Loa Nice relic there for Miami. That's gonna be for Richard Burbank. There you go, Rich Jason Huntley and Jared pink me rookie silver for Guy and the ATL Let's open up a few more boxes here What about Chicago at Nolans we've seen some Seem some Bears fans here amongst our crew Bears fans being bullish about Trubisky. I don't know if I share that sentiment. Sorry Bears fans Got a couple good friends that are Bears fans too, and they're one of my one of my friends who's a Bears fan who actually works for the NFL Network Said something to the effect of Trubisky is a mirage Travis hopes the Bears lose well The next two games are the two I've taken the two favorites I've got Nolans New Orleans the Saints minus nine and a half. I'm laying the points with the Saints And I took the all of these picks. I took really early. I took them on Sunday And I was trying to get ahead of the line I I figured that that Saints line could creep up to like minus eleven it might still I think it's at like ten now I double digits ten ten and a half. Maybe actually I haven't looked today. Maybe it's creeped up to eleven, but I Don't think it's gonna go back under double digits I play a unit or two whatever your unit size is I play a unit or two per per game Maybe more maybe I'll start increasing in the divisional rounds and then the conference rounds I don't use dollar figures because that means nothing, right? One man's thousand dollars is a lot for someone else. It might not be a lot So I think unit size is a better way to talk about it Everyone's everyone's bankroll and acceptable level of risk is different. Also for entertainment purposes only the unit size conversation is also better because You know if you think oh if he's betting X amount of them I'll bet X amount of dollars that I don't have maybe and then I don't want to get into that situation. So We're pros here Nelson. We're careful about how we say things, but it's not really that not not that much It's really just for just for fun and for convo We got a Jalen Hertz relic rookie gear for Philadelphia Kurt with the Eagles Anyone have any thoughts on the Saints game? I mean I personally think the Saints just roll I'm not super. I think all the other games are gonna be pretty close, but I Feel like the Saints will roll in that game Kurt with the Ravens Kurt Different. Oh no same Kurt with the Ravens is saying I wish I could use the Fandola sports book But your state doesn't allow that type of game. They can use draft Kings and bet fantasy-wise. Yeah Think I think I think the state all the states are still trying to figure out What they were gonna allow and not allow like you can't play draft Kings in Vegas or in Nevada I think I'm pretty sure or Arizona Nice Joe Burrow bangles That'll be for Ben. I think eventually I feel like a majority of the states will Eventually have just your traditional single-game wagering You know at their local casino or retail location or something like that It'll happen There's Derek Brown Yeah, Nelson saying yeah, if you keep your unit size At a hundred or under it's a lot of fun.  No, I don't I don't I don't bet like that Not until I have like Elon Musk money, but there's Jalen Régor But I do you know, I do it just for a little bit of fun Just for a little I mean I'd watch the games anyway, but just for a little extra action Kurt with the Eagles as well Brad's just being of the Saints. It's the 10-year anniversary of the Beast Quake Moment that certain fans Won't do it Jeffrey Yeah, sure I Would um, I would go to jazby's case breaks calm Click that support button on the home page bottom left and you can request a refund. It'll most likely get to you Tomorrow I think But then I'll be sure to remember to take out your spot And add a spot back in so unfortunately folks that break isn't gonna happen That flawless break is not gonna happen Unless there's someone interested in getting the spot that that that Jeff is giving up My name is Joe by the way Nelson. Well, the chasing is the part that you can't that you shouldn't do I don't I don't really chase I Just have a bad week by the offer and it's like that's my offer I'll just try again next week and not try to make up for it on a Monday night. Oh, I never buy I would never buy points At that point put it in a teaser Yeah, unless we have someone who wants to buy the spot that Jeff is giving up Yeah, I'm not gonna hold Jeff to a To a $900 spot if he's not into it. It's all good last bit of boxes ladies and gentlemen. Good luck No, it's right Nelson. I mean I can't I can't twist. Yeah, you could but I can't twist someone's arm I can't twist someone's arm into holding on to a $900 spot No, Josh, I will not do that five by us. That's just way too long at this stage of the evening Sorry, I was only willing to do floss just because it was gonna be like a five-minute break But that's that was the only reason why I did that. No, it's all good. Sorry, Josh I'm actually just kind of running out of steam right now. Anyway, we'll get it done tomorrow There's got see if his thumb See if his thumb is okay If one gets a refund it goes back to your original payment method and then the refund whenever we activate that on our end It's refunded right away And then it's just up to your Up to your bank or whatever to see how long it Actually hits your account comes back to your account. Usually it's a business day or two I'm not gonna twist his arm Nelson you shouldn't do that. I mean if it was a hundred dollars spot you know It's on the homepage Jaspies case breaks calm look at the bottom left hand corner It says support with the question mark or if you're on a mobile device It'll be a little circle with with a question mark Yeah, if it was a hundred dollars spot, I definitely twist Jeff's arm be like come on But not at this price point. I want to make sure that if you're buying a spot You definitely a hundred percent want to be in it. We're not that we're not that kind of operation here All right, and the last bit of this blaster break Nothing huge in this to be honest with you. I thought we were gonna see Some low-numbered monsters here, but nothing too huge nice though Couple Joe Burroughs to a relics and Jalen Hertz You know a lot of those orange a lot of these orange velocity parallels and some rookie silvers Nothing earth chattering nice, but nothing earth shadow is expecting a little bit more But hey listen those are the breaks. We'll get them next time that was 20 bucks blaster break pick your team number one In the books of 2020 Panini prison football I saw some more in the back so there may be more opportunities to chase the big ones in these blaster boxes. I'm Joe Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye. Bye


Yeah, back on the Sportsmax zone and we're talking about cricket the Ghana Amazon warriors They are champions of the Caribbean Premier League a T20 competition They beat Trent Baganite riders in the final on Sunday night and they have been celebrating since of course an outstanding achievement Remember they had gone to five finals previously and they managed to snatch the title on their sixth attempt the manager of the Ghana Amazon warriors team Their former four-day captain Outstanding player mr. Johnson himself Leon Johnson joins us on the show now Leon Johnson, welcome to the Sportsmax zone. It's a pleasure to have you and once again We're having you on the Sportsmax zone following an outstanding performance by Guyana this time in the T20 version of the game How are you doing? Thanks Yeah, I'm good running on about An hour sleeping the last 48 hours, but I'm good Happy Yeah, certainly without a doubt I can understand the joy that you must be feeling can you describe the last the 36 to 48 hours for us? Yeah, it's been very good. I've seen all ganas Guyanese are very passionate Passionate about cricket has been 11 long seasons The whole country will be less that And in any kind of cricket. So, yeah, they feel in the It's one of ecstasy. We're still sinking in Obviously, I mean it was something to be hold on on Sunday night, you know celebrations after but I think even leading up to to the Championship game the support of Providence, you know, it's always been good, but I think it was a little extra specialist Yeah, I gather there was some sort of a parade on Monday. What was that like? It was it was good. I was great actually yesterday after the first week. We were out in the parade but Suppose what it means though Amazon Warriors fans, you know, we're able to cross the line the the line the streets and thousands, you know So to celebrate with us, you know, we we are very happy that a lot of us could have been there We extended a lot of guys extended their state. So so that Yeah, you're a former player and no manager of this Amazon Warriors team How much does it warm your heart the type of support that the Warriors got from the fans? Not just after winning the title But as soon as the guy in the leg of this tournament started it was evident the love for the game in your country How much does it warm your heart? Yeah, it does warm our it's that we we treat cricket here like a religion You know, if it was very much about the honest Sunday At parade as well, you know, I really expect that many Support the beat in a working day on the house, you know, and everybody trying to get home from work or Golden Still turned up out there. So kids in there in school uniform after school They're, you know showing appreciation and you know, I think it goes both ways Appreciate the funds as well. Not the same guy. I love a large support large support all over the world. So It's very it's very warm Yeah, Leon whether you are, you know, player captain Manager you seem to have the magic touch as you have pointed out to us before on this show Can you give us an idea of what was different this time around for the Ghana Amazon Warriors? That eventually brought you over the line Different I mean, I would probably have to be in there the last five years to be able to tell you all was different I played in 24th Unfortunately, I was a band the one band that lost as one of those five right now I think my situation or all the situation that was very unfortunate very rain stopped play at 18th evening or 730 evening. We couldn't get So that has lived me for for a long time You know be able to win it in a different capacity is great I think, you know, I'm not brilliant He came in as our head this year and you know, he's a he's an exceptional thing I made a post on Facebook saying that Lance was after the night of Lance was Last became a favorite of a lot of people, you know, I told it me how very young me made an impression on me And to be able to work with him on himself was was a pleasure. But, you know, he came and You know, together we tried to create a Good environment turned out to be a great environment where guys were Relaxed that they're willing to play each other and we just figured you know once We get we get to the back-ended in tournament with everyone, you know, still Healthy and an input form We don't see a reason why we've had a kept the core of players They keep a core of players who we've been playing for the last 45 years You know those guys would have lost not but games as well But I think they've matured a lot of those guys and played leagues around the world and they have gained a lot of experience Yeah, and Leon player turned manager that must be very very different for you Were there any instances during this CPL that you felt like you just wanted to pad up and go play and How difficult was it for you managing big personalities because that might be a bit different as well But yeah, it was as I said the environment was was Quite good and be honest all the guys they're really exceptional of sighing and as I'm Doing I would have played with or against you can aim around I would have completed this against him and so You know all those guys there would have had a good relationship with whilst I was playing what I played against them with them Even our analysts who was sort of frequent I know it took a long time to go so it was it was pretty easy to be honest and you know we Our team there's there are no guys with biggie those in there. So that made it easier for You know manage them as well Yeah, well before you go Leon. I want to ask you one question because Nicoletum Giandani the young commentator said on the show yesterday that they sort of Enthusiasm and the impact that he got from the atmosphere of the final on on Sunday night Was nothing like he has ever seen in in cricket nothing he had experienced before like that now He's young. He's 21 or 22 years old So obviously he hasn't seen as much cricket as as you have Leon But but was he off the mark or or was he on point with with his description of the atmosphere and how Unbelievable it was. I think we lost him. I was about to ask him the same thing you did Mariah about wanting to pad up because we were just talking about him in the office in the past couple of days and There was the feeling that someone was surprised that he was only 36 years old He only recently turned 36 years old Polly's 36 Bravo is 39 So, you know in the in the moment of victory and celebration It was a good question to ask him as a professional cricketer himself if he felt as if he missed it Yeah, I've always spoken to cricketers who retired and I mean what made this one even special is they won this year So I'm sure he would love to be a part of the setup But I like on his response because the team was so good There was no need for him to feel like that because you usually feel like that when your team is losing right Ricardo You're the skip off the sports max team that I'm yet to see play one match and Ricardo has not selected me on the team And the water girl did I even make that role? Anyways, oh his mic isn't working again No, listen clearly today is a is a breaking news the undersports magazine because Mariah is giving me a lot of new information So thank you very much for all that information Mariah But I also think Leon Johnson is in the perfect place Lance and Mariah because he has shown over time to be a quality leader And a quality manager of men yes in his role as captain of the guy in a four-day team And so I think when you it becomes easier to move into that management role now where you are doing a similar thing in terms of guiding processes and Leading the men helping them to achieve Their full potential and certainly this time around with him in that management role The Amazon warriors were able to achieve their full potential by winning the CPL So think it's a good look and he was in the perfect place I hope I don't get knocks for saying this, but I've never really seen Leon Johnson as a T20 juggernaut I've always felt he was a solid batsman But if you if you said to me T20 batsman out of Guyana Leon Johnson would not readily come to mind To be honest, so I think he was in the perfect role and he did play that role perfectly. I think yeah Hmm. All right, we go to a break on the sportsman zone We still will be talking cricket when we return, but we'll be talking about no cricket at a particular venue


And now for the radio program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program. The mystery program that is unique among all mystery programs. And I'll tell you why. It's because you know who's guilty.  Yet the final curtain always brings a startling surprise. In the signal oil program, the whistler. That whistle is your signal for the signal oil program, the whistler. I am the whistler, and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Yes, friends, it's the whistler for the tops in entertainment. And for the tops in gasoline quality, it's signal. It takes extra quality, you know, to give you extra mileage. And signal is the famous go farther gasoline. So look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies friendly independent signal stations from Canada to Mexico. And now the whistler's strange story. Payment in full. It had been a series of little things in themselves insignificant, but gradually they had lighted a fuse in John Chapman's mind, touching off the entire sequence of events. Gloria, of course, had been at the center. All through his most recent trial, John Chapman, the noted criminal lawyer, had been conscious of her presence there beside him, since her warm interest in admiration. But when at last the case was won, and they were alone again in his office, he was certain she was showing more than just the concern of a devoted secretary. You look so tired, Mr. Chapman. I think you should rest awhile before you go home. Oh, thank you, Gloria. But my wife will be expecting me. Will she? Really? That's a strange thing to say. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything. I just sit back a minute, Mr. Chapman. Forget this afternoon, the trial and everything. That's it.  Wonderful. Yes, John, Gloria is a wonderful girl, isn't she? But you remember how you wanted to take her, Gloria, in your arms that day. Tell her about your dreams, your plans for the future. But even now, now that weeks have passed and you've put your plans into actual operation, you know you can't confide in her. So you park your car and walk along 34th Street alone. Turn in at the little bar and wait quietly until a sharp-faced man slides onto the stool beside you. All right, Welch. Keep looking straight ahead. But give me what you've got. Well, I've been following your wife all week, just like you asked. The night after you left town, she went to the Indigo Club. Lost some more money gambling. She talked to a guy named Carlson from out of town. Yeah, what about? I don't know. I couldn't get close enough to find out. All right. I'm interested in Paul Barnes. Yeah. Nice assistant you got. Barnes and my wife and seeing each other? They met that same night in a little Italian joint. But here's the part I don't get. From the next booth I could hear enough to know he was trying to give it a brush off.  To kill her? Yeah, that's it. How did my wife take all this? Cool as a new bedsheet. But he got a continuance.  Yeah, where? You, uh, you got a summer place up in Connecticut, huh? Connecticut. You've done a good job, Welsh. Yeah. What's the next stop? I'll worry about that. Unless I need you to testify. Testify? Barnes and those murder threats. How do we know he won't try to carry them out sometime? I don't know. You answer that question. You're the lawyer. I wasn't expecting you. I thought... That I was still in Washington? I got back a day early and came on up to Connecticut. You, uh, you could have wired. Oh, no. Well, that would have spoiled things. They planned you've made. Planned? A friend of mine, Alice, a private detective named Manny Welch. He, uh, gave me a very complete report. Oh, I see. So what's the next move, John? If you think a cheap detective is going to get you anywhere in court... I'm sure he wouldn't. Not with you there. I could tell them plenty about you. And I would... I'm sure you would, Alice. We've been through all this before. You know I'm not letting you get a divorce.  Oh, I suppose I should go on endlessly paying your gambling debts at the Indigo Club. Welch told you I was there, too. That's right. You, uh, you talked to a man named Carlson. Hmm. Well, since you know about it... Here. Oh, what's this? A bill from the Continental Jewelry. Mr. Carlson's firm. I owe him $5,000, John. Send him a check, will you? I have a little surprise for you, Alice. I'm going to pay this without a squawk. Because it's the last time you'll run up a bill of any kind.  No, this isn't a sudden thing, Alice. Not the purple rage that swept over so many of my clients. John, now wait a minute. You'd be surprised how carefully I've planned this. You won't get away with it. Paul Bond is on his way here. He'll find me. I know that, Alice. That's the way I planned it. And with many wells to testify that Paul threatened you? Neat, isn't it? John! John, listen to me! The drive back to Washington is long and lonely. But you don't mind it. Because you've so many things to think about. Things like Gloria and your freedom from Alice. It's a simple matter in Washington to check out of your hotel the following morning. Simple, too, to pretend concern over Alice's whereabouts when you return to New York and check in at your office. Gloria, did you call the summer place again? My wife might have gone up there for some reason. I've tried all morning, Mr. Chapman. No. I think you should notify the police. But she... Yes, perhaps you're right. I'll do it right away. You say you found her already, Lieutenant Kincaid? That's right, Mr. Chapman. But why hasn't she called me? I've been almost out of my... She couldn't call anybody. Not since some time last night.  Dead? I sent a man up to your summer place. That's where she was. Whoever killed her used a .32 caliber revolver. But it... It was murder. That's right. And we think we know who did it. You know... This, uh... This may be kind of rough on you, but... Well, you've got a young law associate here. Paul Barnes? Paul Barnes. He was in the legal department at the State Bank of New York before he joined your firm. Yes, yes. I know all that. He owned a gun. Had to have it around for his work, I guess. It was a .32. Would you mind calling him in here? Now, what about that gun you bought, Barnes? Where is it? It disappeared from my apartment about a month ago. Oh, that's so. We might as well tell you we've checked your movements for the past few weeks. You've been seeing Mrs. Chapman.  That doesn't prove anything. I'm not through. You drove over to Connecticut last night. A gas station attendant there recognized the description. You saw her, didn't you? Yes, I saw her, but she was already dead. Oh? And you did nothing about reporting it to the police? Or her husband? I... I didn't know how to explain being there. No. I guess not. But I didn't kill her. I swear I didn't. You'd better come along, fella. And it'll be easier all the way around if you tell us the truth. It's only a week after the funeral, John, that Lieutenant Kincaid and his men have gathered enough evidence to charge Paul Barnes with murder.  You know that it won't be too long before you can be open in your feelings, tortoise. Because the way will be perfectly clear. I'm glad you decided to come back to work, Mr. Chapman. I've worried about you. But I think this is dead. Yes, I suppose. You know, Gloria, now that it's all over, I realize more than ever that... well, that Alice and I should never have married. I understand. Do you? You've heard about... Her and Paul Barnes? Yes. I wouldn't have believed that. Oh, Alice wasn't a very nice person. She gambled run-up debts. But Paul, I just... I gave him his first real brain. It wasn't his fault, Mr. Chapman. I know. She made a fool of Paul. Mr. Chapman, do you think Paul has any chance of getting off? Oh, I don't know. I have a very strong case. Good motive. It seems she'd threaten to tell me about their seeing each other. Get him thrown out of the office. I know Paul's innocent, Mr. Chapman, and I blame her for everything. What happened doesn't change how I feel about Paul. How you feel? You're not in love with him? Yes. It's something that happened just in the last few months. He was involved with her and was trying to get out of it. Oh, good Lord. Mr. Chapman, please. I know Paul didn't do this. Will you help him? You're the only one who can. Help him? Well, how, Gloria? You could defend him. Take his case. What? Please, please, Mr. Chapman. You've won cases that seem more hopeless. But, Gloria, he's charged with the murder of my wife. I couldn't go into court. You wouldn't have to try the case yourself. You could get another lawyer to do that. But you could save him, Mr. Chapman. You could figure a way. I'm... I'm asking you to do this for me. All right, Gloria. I'll do everything I can to get him off. With the prologue of payment in full, the Signal Oil Company brings you another strange story. By the Whistler. Since most everyone who has a car goes somewhere over Labor Day, this coming weekend will be a good opportunity for you drivers to prove for yourself two points that you've heard me talk about. One, why Signal gasoline has become famous as the go farther gasoline. And two, why Signal says it takes extra quality to go farther. Your speedometer, of course, is the best yardstick of Signal's good mileage. But how can you measure quality? Well, if it's a chill morning up in the mountains and your motor springs to life the instant you touch the starter, there's proof of Signal quality. When you're trapped down on the gas pedal and your car spurts ahead of the throng without jerk or hesitation and sails smoothly, silently up the steepest hills in high, there's more proof of Signal quality.  Yes, just you go with Signal this weekend and you'll return convinced that to get the tops in gasoline there are only two things you need to remember. One, in gasoline it takes extra quality to go farther. And two, Signal is the famous go farther gasoline. And now back to the Quistler. Fantastic, isn't it, John? The way it's working out. Your careful plan to fasten your wife's murder on Paul Barnes is arrest. And now the shock of learning that Glory is in love with him. That you'll lose her if you don't try to save him. You've got to make it look good, John. Very good. And gradually it comes to you exactly how to handle the case of the people versus Paul Barnes. And it all hinges around Manny Welch, the private detective you hired. Mr. Welch, you've heard the arresting officer, Lieutenant Kincaid, testify that you followed Paul Barnes for nearly a week. Under what circumstances were you hired to do this? She hired me, Mrs. Chapman. She was afraid Barnes would try to kill her. And on the night she was killed, Mr. Welch, she told you to come to that house where her body was later found? That's right. She was taking no chances. Will you tell the court exactly what you did when you arrived? Well, I was just pulling my car off the road when I heard the shots. I almost jumped through the windshield before I could get out of my car because he had a gun. You're certain? Positive. Were you able to get a good look at him? Sure. He went right past the driveway light. And can you identify him positively? That's him right there, Paul Barnes.  It's amusing, isn't it, John? Watching the attorney you hired to defend Paul's tried-tort to witness chair. You've coached him very carefully, haven't you? As carefully as you coached Manny Welch. And they both play their parts well.  It happened before I could do anything. How many shots? Why, there were two shots. Two shots? Then how do you account for the fact that five bullets were found in Alice Chapman's body? Five? You mean five? What you heard could have been only the backfiring of a car somewhere on the road. Isn't that possible, Mr. Welch? Isn't it possible that when you discovered Alice Chapman was dead, you let your imagination run wild? It's possible, I guess. You're doing a lot of guessing, aren't you? It was a dark cloudy night. And I can prove, Mr. Welch, that driveway light by which you identified Paul Barnes was disconnected. Well, I'm almost positive there was a light, but... But come to think of it, you're not certain now, are you? Yes, but I don't know... You don't know! And yet, with the defendant's life, it's taken you positively identified. You didn't actually see Paul Barnes leaving that house, did you? Yes, I did. I saw a man... Oh, now it's a man, any man! I want you to tell me, Mr. Welch, did you actually see Paul Barnes leaving that house? Well, I thought it was, but... I guess it could have been somebody else. Ladies, gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict? We have, Your Honor. We find the defendant, Paul Barnes, not guilty. It's a popular verdict with a crowd, isn't it, John? A dozen or more people, friends, newspaper men, cluster around Paul, congratulate him as he stands near the judge's bench, his arms about Gloria. Quietly, you slip out of the courtroom, return to your apartment to write the letter that will destroy their new happiness. That night, you drop an envelope into a mailbox, an envelope addressed to the Times Press, and it doesn't take long for them to follow up on the letter, does it? The next afternoon, as you leave the office building with Gloria, Mr. Welch, Mr. Chapman... A boy, a boy here. Yes, sir. Here you are. Thanks. Thanks. Relax. We read all about it. Mr. Chapman, what is it? Oh, good Lord. What is it?  They claim Manny Welch perjured himself, and Paul's trial, they've got a warrant up for his arrest. No. No, I don't believe it. Paul's innocent. Why would Welch have to lie to save him? Well, I don't know. I don't understand it at all. Though I don't believe it. Well, Paul's free now. They can't change that. That's all that matters. Free? How can he be free after this? His acquittal was a joke.  No one will believe he's innocent. Do you? I've got to find Paul. Talk to him. Let me in, counselor.  What's the idea of coming to my apartment? So you read about it in the papers? Well, yes, of course. Counsel, there's something screwy about this deal. I've been wondering who it was. You should be traveling instead of wondering, Welch. Cost money to travel. What happened to the money I gave you a couple of weeks ago? I had to buy some groceries. Look, you... I'm not in the mood for that, Welch.  Now, you get out of town and get fast. I want you to remember one thing. If you involve me in this case in any way, I'll see to it that the DA hears about that little affair you were mixed up with and scrapped me.  Sure, sure. I'll play it. Smart counselor. But I sort of hate to blow town without knowing who tipped off the cops about me.  I kind of like to know... Good night, Welch. Yeah. Good night, counselor. You're not really worried about Welch, are you? That he'll talk to the police. Tell them you planted him to wreck the case against Paul Barnes. No, your confident Welch won't involve you in any way. Because he knows you could send him to prison for life. Your plan has worked out well, hasn't it, John? There's only one last hurdle now, the visit you've been expecting from Lieutenant Kincaid. It comes early the following morning as you arrive at your office. Welch, why, yes, Lieutenant. I have been reading about that in the papers. You've, uh, found him? No. No, the boys are still looking for him. Oh. Meanwhile, we've been going on with the investigation. Uh... We found that Welch cashed a check. It was signed by you, Mr. Chapman. Oh. Oh, yes. That's right, Kincaid. That was a payment on a bill he sent my wife. Services rendered. I see. Did the bill come after her death? I don't know. There were so many bills. I've been swamped with them. Dress designers, antique dealers, nightclubs, everything. Now, this one, for example. Continental Jewelry. $5,000. Ever hear of the Continental Jewelry, Kincaid? Continental Jewelry? No. Neither have I. But, as I said, I've already paid the bills. This was the last one. I took care of it a week ago. Well, sorry, I had to bother you, Mr. Chapman. It's quite all right. You have a job to do? Yeah, and sometimes it's a job I'd like to drop down the drain. Well, see you, Mr. Chapman. Uh-huh. Oh, Gloria? Yes? I was a little worried when you went around this morning. I'm sorry, Mr. Chapman. Well, come in, come in. Is there something wrong, Gloria? Mr. Chapman, I saw Paul last night at his cabin. At Mirror Lake. Oh, well, what do you have to say? Not much. He says he knows nothing about Welsh. Or why he lied. I see. He was quite upset. I suppose it was cruel of me, but I had to know I was so confused. He became quite angry with me. Paul? I started back to town, but by the time I got to the village, I had to turn back. I couldn't let him go on thinking I didn't believe he was innocent. Somehow I had to make him understand. You went back to the cabin? Yes. That's when I saw them. Who? Through the porch window. I saw Paul talking to many Welsh. Your plan wasn't so perfect after all, was it, John? You're certain that Welsh has told Paul Barnes everything, the whole truth? You leave the office wondering what you can do now, wondering how far Paul Barnes may go in seeking revenge, and then suddenly panic strikes as you hear footsteps behind you. Steady, relentless, keeping pace with you.  For the next two days, you hear the footsteps wherever you go. Paul Barnes is following you, isn't he? After what he's learned from Welsh, he's going to kill you. Sleep is out of the question, work impossible. And then on the third night, still haunted by the idea that you're being followed, you decide you've got to get away. Yes, how soon can I catch a plane for Seattle? Seattle? One moment, please. Hurry, hurry, please. It's going west. Is it five o'clock tomorrow morning, sir? All right, all right, that's fine. My name is John Chapman. John R. Chapman, my address. Yes, sir? Suddenly you drop the receiver into place. You're too late, aren't you, John? Someone has opened the outer door of your apartment. You're sure it's Paul Barnes.   Then sit motionless in the dark, afraid even to breathe. Come in, Paul. I've been expecting you. Chapman? You're not Paul Barnes? Who? Who are you? The Whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story. Meantime, a word about something free, which can mean a lot of extra pleasure for you if you're planning a trip this Labor Day weekend. Stop by your signal dealers for one of his new roadmaps. You'll find Signal's new maps a great help in suggesting interesting places to go and the best way to get there. Being just recently printed, they have all the latest road changes and conditions. They're large size for rapid reading, but have the improved accordion fold for easier handling. And you'll like their many extra features, not included in ordinary maps, such as a radio log showing where on your dial you'll find your favorite network programs as you travel. Also a guide to interesting places to visit, plus a Western States mileage chart. So for more travel fun this weekend, remember these two tips. Get one of Signal's new maps from your signal dealer, and of course, power your car with Signal, the famous Go Farther gasoline. And now, back to the Whistler. It was over now, settled in the harsh finality of sudden gunfire. And the group around the hospital bed was still, waiting, staring at the dying figure before them. It was Lieutenant Kincaid who broke the silence. He leaned over, spoke softly and urgently. Look, fella, you're not going to last the night. You might as well tell us who was in on it with you. Was it Welch? No, I never heard of him. I told you, Lieutenant, I had nothing to do with that part of it. I'll talk to you later, Welch. You've got plenty to explain away. Come on, come on, clear this up, will you? You're slipping away from us, fast. We'll have a report on your fingerprints in another hour, so you might as well tell us who you are. Okay, okay. I'm fanky Carlson, the guy that gets him only this time.  Who hired you, Carlson? Who got you to kill John Chapman? Tell us. It was his wife. Mrs. Chapman agreed to send me 5,000. I wanted him out of the way so she could have a cake and eat it, too. But Mrs. Chapman is dead. Has been for over a month. I know. They read it in the papers. I thought the deal was off. And last week, the money come through and addressed to the Continental Jewelry Company. Continental Jewelry? What's that got to do with it? It's a front. The code Mrs. Chapman and me agreed on. She told me when I got the money addressed that way, I was to go through with the job. No matter what had happened. In my racket, you just don't ask no questions. But this is impossible. She couldn't have paid you after she was... Wait a minute. Continental Jewelry. Carlson, that checklist... Yeah, that's the funny part of it. The check was signed by Chapman himself. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program, the Whistler. Each Wednesday night at this same time. Brought to you by the Signal Oil Company, marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil, and fine quality automotive accessories. Signal has asked me to remind you to get the most driving pleasure, drive at sensible speeds, be courteous, and obey traffic regulations. It may save a life. Possibly your own. Featured in tonight's story were Bill Boucher and Lorette Philbrand. The Whistler was produced and directed by George W. Allen, with story by Sidney Renthal and music by Wilbur Hatch. It was transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. Remember at this same time next Wednesday another strange tale by the Whistler. Marvin Miller speaking.
