Dennis & Julie

Latest Episodes:

Cat-Calling, Becoming How You Dress, Art, The Tyranny of Photos, Having an Adventurous Spirit Abroad Apr 21, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie examine being “cat-called” in the USA versus in Italy. Women do not see themselves the way men see them. How people dress in public has become less important over the past half century. You become a persona of how you dress. The art and architecture that was inspired by divinity is infinitely more impressive and beautiful than anything produced since. Dennis and Julie prefer American pizza to Italian pizza. You must make time in your life to travel. You must ask yourself what will better my life rather than what do “I” want to do? Dennis recalls traveling alone to Japan as a young man. Julie discusses why she's more adventurous when she travels.

Israel or the World Apr 14, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie reflect on being paid to speak around the country. The Oklahoma Bombing Memorial and the case for capital punishment. The U.N. is scum… it’s the United Governments, not Nations. Numbers 23:9 – Balaam - For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations. Dennis had a brain scan… if you could know all the illnesses that will strike you, would you want to know? Dennis and Julie discuss aging and being ageless. What do you wish you knew earlier in life?

Guts Apr 07, 2024

Show notes

Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman recently died… Julie asks Dennis why he didn’t support him as Al Gore’s VP nominee in 2000. Dennis went to a brain expert, and he found the results intriguing. Do you follow your intuition or gut instinct? Do you think most people nowadays follow their gut, or the herd? Julie has become interested in reading the energy of people when it comes to friendships. Do you become who you want to be? How important are your thoughts when it comes to becoming who you want to be?

The War on Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie start with chivalry. Dennis’ mentions his meticulous texts… what does bad grammar say about you? Julie wonders why men try to look like pimps on dating sites. Is sophistication shunned in today’s society… classy, traditional, and mature have been replaced with cool and casual. Julie asks Dennis if there is anything about younger generations that he thinks they are doing well. Dennis believes the baby boomer generation brought in the decline of the United States… the greatest generation didn’t pass on the things that made them great. They discuss: the rape of language; eloquence; holding an elevated response; and setting a good example. They debate the consequences of freedom of speech. Why are the “woke-est” countries the freest? Social norms have been derided… where is all of this headed… is it worse now than it ever was?

Sardines Will Act Like Sardines Mar 24, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie address a letter received about Julie using the world shalom. Are some religious people too uptight or formal? How bad was Senator Katie Britt’s SOTU response? Why do we hear of Right-wing hypocrites… but never hear of Left-wing hypocrites? Do Leftists purposefully lie… or are they unaware that they are lying? The war on women …re-labeling… reducing women seems to be acceptable, whereas not accepted when it comes to men. “You know what really frosts my cookies” …is that a real phrase? People don’t care about blacks… they hate whites. People don’t care about Palestinians… they hate Israel. Dennis examines that Jews recovered quicker from the Holocaust than Blacks have recovered from Slavery. Trump’s “blood bath” reference and the unwarranted outrage that followed. Biden’s use of the term illegal and the apology tour afterward. It is programmed into human nature to do what others do. Driving habits in traffic are a microcosm of human existence. “Hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue.” – François de La Rochefoucauld. Being offended - people are hurt even when they don’t have the right to be. Writing important things down is a great way to remember them.

Chaos versus Order Mar 17, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie point out that watching old tv shows is like a view into a time capsule …a time when you could smoke in planes and bibles were prominent. Advocacy groups say they care about their group, but don’t really care. The Left doesn’t want order… that’s what the battle is all about. Other topics include: Leviticus; cathedrals; idolatry; the deleterious consequences of the death of God in society; religious versus secular government; Dennis and the Crucifix… did Jesus have a choice; Jewish suffering is not meaningless; why do protestants use the cross and not the crucifix; Julie’s religious evolution.

Using God’s Name Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie start off with languages: Semitic; Arabic; Music; and the beauty of learning languages… inspired by Mario Pei’s book - The Story of Language. Dennis explains the French’s mustard syndrome. There are many ways of doing things… the only thing that matters is moral standards. The question you should ask yourself is… am what I’m doing and saying going to age well? Is it better to have an easy childhood… or a difficult one? It is not a good thing to be liked by everyone. They discuss the blurring of distinctions …there are/were boundaries for a reason. Other topics include: India and Hinduism; Dennis’ favorite countries to visit; Navalny; victimhood; depression – there’s more suicide now than during the Great Depression; having courage; Tom Sowell’s great concept – Stage One Thinking.

Going Beyond Your Home Station Mar 03, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie discuss Alaska, experiencing 25 below, and missing the Northern Lights. Life will disappoint you… you must deal with it and overcome. Has Dennis been dog sledding? Everything in life is… how you react to it. Julie discusses college admissions, testing, working hard versus cheating, and succeeding on your own merits. Is thinking rationally a curse? Having beliefs is a luxury. Being in snow is peaceful, unlike the rain. It’s not about the existence of God, it’s about the necessity of God. We are surrounded by manmade things… this can distance you from God. People who suffer are more likely to believe in God than people with affluent lives. Dennis loves the quote: “He Is a Self-Made Man.” “Yes, And He Worships His Creator.” Dennis shares the story of his last of the 50 states he’s visited. How liberal Jews reacted to October 7t. Being a naïve adult is a choice. Truth is not a Left-wing value. Are people who they will be throughout their lives?

The Pandemic of Demoralization Feb 25, 2024

Show notes

Dennis asks you to consider …rather than “do you love each other” …”do you enjoy each other?” You may love your parents, but do you enjoy your parents? An admirable trait that one can aspire to is to be “easy” on the people in your life. Everyone has two natures… human nature and unique nature, and everyone has different battles with those natures. “The lightness of life” can get kicked out of you while in pursuit of “the resume.” It is a struggle maintaining lightheartedness. Civilization is built on the suppression of feelings. They discuss building a civilization versus self-realization. Homeschooling, learning religion, and no exposure to the woke agenda in public education… protects kids from jadedness. According to Pew Research Center “none” is the largest category of religion in the United States. As a general rule religious people are better people than non-religious people. Dennis and Julie explore the reasons why belief in God keeps one from being jaded.

Untethered Balloons Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

Dennis and Julie open with first impressions …is this a good, intelligent, charming, or wealthy person? Do you have a goodness detector? How can you assess one's goodness? Knowledge and intelligence are not synonymous. We all have micro and macro beliefs... one might have great micro beliefs and atrocious macro beliefs. Who influences people more high school or college teachers? Do you remember your teachers? The definition of courage is ...one who tells the truth. Younger generations aren't gowing up like they used to… meeting people… being independent… is it tougher to be a young person today than it was in the past. What are the factors, now versus then, that have changed? In the past there was no war on reality, more patriotism, more religion, and two parents in the home. Younger folks were not as jaded… there was less gender confusion in the past. Tearing things down is easy, building things up is much tougher. Dennis uses Where the Boys Are -1961 Connie Francis, to show how popular music reflects the change in young people over the years. They address technology and pornography... and its effect on intimacy. We are a sex obsessed society, but have less intimacy. Dennis shares his drivers test fail. What is self-gifting. Julie points out that "manifesting" is secular praying, and "the universe" is secular God.
