Beethoven's 9th "Ode to Joy" - https://youtu.be/hdWyYn0E4Ys - This song means so many things to me. But for the purposes of this episode, it relates to the movie that I highly recommend called "Warrior" starring Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, and Joel Edgerton. I do not recommend you watch the trailer for this movie. I did not and I feel like it was way more effective the less I knew about the movie. Mixed Martial arts fighting is a major part of the plot so if you are averse to watching two men beat the crap outta each other proceed with caution. The dynamic between the three main characters, Paddy, played by Nick Nolte, as the recovering abusive alcoholic the trained his youngest son Tommy, played by Tom Hardy, as a fighter in his youth. Paddy's wife finally had enough of his abuse and leaves him with their oldest son Brendon, played by Joel Edgerton. Tommy goes on to the military and the three men are estranged from one another for many years. Check it out if you get a chance.

Thank you for listening and make it a great day. Cheers.
