0:00.0 | Just a few miles off the Thailand coast, the island of Kothau looks like a postcard. |
0:07.0 | I'd underneath the surface lies something sinister. |
0:11.0 | In the last 20 years dozens of tourists have died mysteriously on the island. |
0:16.0 | A dark cloud who's come over the island, death, mystery and danger. |
0:23.0 | Listen to Death Island every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |
0:30.0 | Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on I Heart Radio. |
0:35.0 | Now in your book how millennials can lead us out of the best we're in and we are in a mess. |
0:39.0 | You kind of weave in Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Tell me about that. How'd you do that? |
0:45.0 | Well, first of all, we co-wrote it. I carried the water for a lot of it from beginning to end, but somebody had to. |
0:55.0 | So I mean it was just... Yeah, you got to put it together. |

1:59.0 | And so they fall, they're very close. And so, but there's slight differences, which are always entertaining a little bit. |
2:07.0 | And so there were times though when I was putting everything together, this was about two years ago when I was really blending the text, that I couldn't remember who said what? |
2:19.0 | Because they, what they would say from a Muslim perspective and from a Judec perspective, we're so close that I had to go back and double check to see who I was quoting. |
2:30.0 | Well, I always remember Moses when I was a kid from watching Ben Hur in the 10 Commandments. |
