- It's Chestermania 2021 at The Babylon Bee and Kyle and Ethan are joined by the President of the Society of G.K. Chesterton, Dale Ahlquist. Dale has been called the greatest living authority on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton and has authored five books on Chesterton, including Common Sense 101: Lessons from Chesterton and G.K. Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense. Why should people start reading Chesterton and where should they begin? What are some of Chesterton's big concepts that help to unlock an understanding of his writings? What would Chesterton say about Cheetos?
Be sure to check out The Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton at: www.chesterton.org/
Kyle, Ethan, and Dale, accompanied by Adam Yenser, play a special edition of Real or Fake where the headlines are all supposedly weird news headlines from a hundred years ago. They discuss how prophetic Chesterton was and talk about his prominent books and essays that you must read to not waste your life. Then in the subscriber portion, they discuss cheese and Chesterton’s big concepts that he returned to again and again throughout his life’s work. Dale answers subscriber-submitted G.K. Questertons and is subjected to The Ten Questions! Click Join on CZcams to watch the whole episode!

Babylon Bee is one of the many puzzle pieces that lead me to abandon atheism and become a Christian. I'm all in now. Thank you
These guys remind me of my Rhett and Link days, but instead of losing their faith they defend it.
The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.
Amen.
I used to watch Dale's show all the time on EWTN when I lived with my parents, and that got me into reading Chesterton's books.
I've always been someone who enjoys quiet and prefer being alone. But a few years ago I started taking 4-5 days every couple months to camp alone. It's been a life changer. I take my Bible, a really comfy blanket and my Jesus ❤️ everything in my life got better. Just being silent with nature, hot tea, lots of time for prayer. I have exceedingly more patience and I'm emotionally stronger etc... It's so worth it.
Their CZcams channel is severely underrated.
Yall inspired me to read Orthodoxy and The Man Who Knew To Much. Now I can say I've added them to my collection along with cs lewis and bunyon
"I wake up every morning thinking, 'I really want to be woke'" LOL just caught that.
“LegolasontheShelf” LOL your username just cracks me up!
“Hey what would have G.K. Chesterton have said about that… ?” X1,000
The problem with deception is that people don’t realise that they are deceived 😥
I have a friend and we used to see if we could cite Chesterton on a daily basis. Basically, our feeling was he was so relevant to the present that we'd be able to use him in any discussion.
The word Hippopotamus means “river horse” in Greek.
Hi Mark!
I hope this blesses some... 🙏
I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
But God did an amazing work.
I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊
*Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥
*All things are possible with God*
The Everlasting Man, Orthodoxy, and The Man Who Was Thursday are my recommendations as his trinity of great books.
I first learned of Chesterton because of the game Deus Ex. So far I have only read The Man Who Was Thursday which was very similar to your FBI skit from a few weeks ago.
Where was Chesterton in Deus Ex and which game? I've played a little of three of them but not a whole lot of any of them.
@@particulate641 Exerts from "The Man Who Was Thursday" are spread throughout the first game on data pads.
@@dreambuyer5723 Thanks
Awesome! So pleased to see Ahlquist.
This podcast is underrated. It's both funny and edifying
Surprised to see Dale Ahlquist here, thanks to Dale and EWTN, I've great appreciation for G.K. Chesterton.
There's video of the guy jumping off the Eifel Tower with the paracute jacket. As a pilot, I like the idea of a parachute jacket.
Can't get enough.
Love that I found this. I don’t watch the current episodes because they got rid of Ethan, but this is great.
Dang I bet orthodoxy is a lot easier to read in that version! But I powered through. Builds vocabulary. Makes you look up names or terms unfamiliar
Exactly.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton woohoo one of my faves
I like what Dale said about only getting about 10%, but wanting more! I have the G.K.C. collection of 34 books in my Kindle. Looking forward to digging in. I'm one who made it through Orthodoxy and didn't get much of it, but he gives you just enough of those great quotes to keep you hanging on.
AND KYLE MANNNNNNN "THATS SO PERMEANT" ITS IN PERMEANT MARKER"
Great show about GK! 👏
Dang as someone who lives in Syracuse I wanted the “Avengers” one to be true
😂😂🤣
Chesterton is my favourite writer. He died in 1936 but will be extremely relevant in 2036. He will never die.
Just got my copy of Ethans book in the mail the other day!
woohoo thanks!
One great Catholic
He was a Protestant I think
@@onethdasanayake3689 nope. Catholic
@@amyj4283 Ok, but as I'm a Protestant, Chesterton was awesome! His writings are top-notch
@@amyj4283 nope... ___was___ ... Baptist now Catholic
We agree. Dale is great!
It's gonna be a good time 😌
Thanks
If Clarence Darrow beat William Jennings Bryan on Darwinian Evolution in Tennessee, than G.K. Chesterton later beat Darrow in Chicago.
Nice! Bee please recommend me what should I read and in what order about Chesterton.
You get a rundown on his different books and essays and how to begin reading GK in this episode!
Isn't that convenient 🤔
Francis eeeee made me laugh outloud
We really did make a Halfghanistan withdrawal
i like handshakes.
What would Chesterton have said about "Lake cow bacon"?
Obviously, he would have pointed out that it's properly "River horse bacon", but that wouldn't sell as well.
With 3 decades of biblical/philosophical study in the rear view mirror, I'm still wrestling with Chesterton's Orthodoxy. Maybe it's me.
Well, he's right that no one knows who Samuel Cowper is. That would be a shame if he messed with the section about William Cowper, though. As something of a contemporary Calvinist myself, that was a rather affecting section for me in the original Orthodoxy.
👍🇬🇧
Funny
I grew up Pentecostal....

I thought Isaac Asimov was the most prolific writer who wrote on every topic.... I'll have to read and compare. Is he anything like P. D. Q. Bach?
You will be pleasantly surprised. Chesterton is far more learned and amusing then Asimov at his best.
I'm horrified that someone has presumed to change Chesterton's own words in his own book. That's not a translation. To those who are interested in reading Orthodoxy, I offer this encouragement: Make sure you get the real thing. Give yourself a little time to think about the more challenging passages, but don't let anyone rob you of the true experience of reading Chesterton.
Removal of person names because they are not well known enough for the GK Chesterton society, is not a very GK Chestertony thing to do.
"subjects of the Mayor" damn he is a democrat
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare&&&&&
This is a christian channel.
Did you know that GK Chesterton became a heretical Roman Catholic later in life? He was not a sound theologian he was a false teacher.
lol. Imagine thinking Chesterton is a heretic. 🤣
