From the creators of Relevant Magazine, this is the Relevant Podcast.

It's Friday March 13th, the year is 2020. You're listening to the Relevant Podcast. I'm your host,

Tyler Huckabee. I'm coming at you from Nashville, Tennessee, down there in Orlando, Florida. He is the one in charge of keeping us on the rails today.

He's got a busy calendar, but this is his top priority. I've been assured it's our illustrious producer, Chandler String.

Hello. Meanwhile, up there in Loveland, Virginia, he does not have a busy day today. He hasn't turned on the news for a week.

So he's blissfully, he's really excited that it's Friday. Today it's our friend Jesse Carey.

Hello, hello.

And we had such a good time that we couldn't say no again. We wanted to welcome back our friend, author, speaker,

Kristen Howertan. Hi, Kristen. How are you doing? Oh, interesting, interesting question.

Can we just take a little on the top of the podcast? Should we kind of get some of this out of the way? It's been a weird week.

Let's see this real quick. Kristen, real quick. I have in my hand a copy of their book that is coming out in June.

People can pre-order an outrage against the minivan. People definitely need to check this out. It is awesome.

I was super stoked when they showed up in the mail. And then Tyler also later on the show, Eugene Cho, we have to talk about.

He's got a new book that just came out. Now, should not be a jerk. The Christian Sky to Engaging Politics.

But yeah, I think we were just kind of chitchatting all three of us before or all four of us before.

I feel like we should probably just start with the kind of elephant in the room here and talk about.

What a crazy week this has been, right? I mean, there's no other way to kind of say it. I feel like

everywhere you go, everyone's sort of having a variation of the same conversation.

But man, it really is a, you know, we're recording this on Friday and the way the last couple days have gone.

Who knows when people listen to this on Saturday or Sunday or Monday. What will have changed how the world will look different.

But I don't know about you guys, but I remember I was 18 years old on 9-11.

And I remember that day and I remember the feeling and I remember the anxiety and I remember the fear.
