Positive Sean has a wacky feature for us here, I think.

0:23.0

Yes, the the internet says presented us with antidepressants or Tolkien.

0:28.2

I will give you a word and you must tell me if it is an antidepressant pharmaceutical or a J.R.R. Tolkien character most famous for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

0:39.2

So before we get into that and that's a hilarious idea, it's weird that you mentioned that and then I walked out of the room and then I was looking at this news feature and it had this cartoon Tolkien versus Lewis.

0:50.2

How does Sean mention Tolkien all of a sudden I see a cartoon with Tolkien in it, but it's um and the first part of the cartoon it says Professor Tolkien is it true that you wrote your novels as an allegory for the first world war.

1:04.2

And he says never ask me that again. I will call the police.

1:09.2

And then CS Lewis is below him and it says and he's thinking to himself looking sad if even one person reading this does not understand that the big line is Jesus I'll set myself on fire.

1:21.2

So what's interesting about that is I'm in the midst of reading Chronicles of Narnia with my son which I've never read before.

1:29.2

As the lion got introduced were on book one and the lion is introduced just last night never crossed my mind that it's Jesus.

1:36.2

Uh oh it's Jesus. Yeah. As land is Jesus. Yes. Yeah. When was I supposed to figure that out? Was I supposed to already figure that out when you read it in the book.

1:44.2

Yeah. Yeah. Then or if not then in the book club discussions and never never even thought about it. Of course I've never I've never liked metaphor and book. I just I don't want.

1:53.2

I was curious if you've ever received a metaphor from a book. No.

1:57.2

I know I've hated that since I was a little kid and they taught us about it in school. I've always thought it was stupid. But you're okay with talking lions. Just be what it is.

2:05.2

I want everything to just be what it is and leave it there. Why do they call you old simple.

2:11.2

I don't like it. I'm not looking for your metaphor. I don't need a damn allegory. If you want something to be Jesus. Have it be Jesus.

2:18.2

Do you do you believe just for instance that George or your Wells animal farm is just about animal husbandry.

2:25.2

Booking about agriculture. Talking pigs right farm life. I didn't get anything from it except the pigs will bite you if you're not careful.

2:36.2

So now I got to go home tonight when we're reading the book and saying the lines Jesus. So it's right.

2:41.2

If I had to explain that to the kids. I would have never thought of that.

2:44.2

I don't think so.
