Speaker 3 (01:19):
Today. It's August third, twenty twenty five. My name is
James Lott Junior. I am the CEO and founder of
jail J Media and sometimes hosts of this show. Every
year we try to celebrate the birth, like many others do,
the birth of the guy who inspired the podcast here
(01:42):
on jail J Media that comes from the museum that
he inspired, Yes, jo Anny Pyle World War Two Museum
and Dana Indiana. Oh. And every year I try to
do something to commemorate him. But we've done his past.
You talked about his family. I just wanted I would
keep it simple. I decided it won't be a long podcast.
(02:05):
There won't be any guests or speeches, just me talking
from my heart as a person from Los Angeles, California
who was born way after twenty some years after he died.
I wasn't into anything about the war, opposedly World War two.
I had no idea who your pile was before this
(02:27):
podcast was brought to my attention before the museum was
brought to my attention. When Dougas, who is the creator, producer,
showrunner of the show and most of the hosts of
most of the episodes over the last three years, brought
it to my attention. I looked him up. I said, yes,
(02:48):
let's do it. And it was a couple of years
before I even went to the actual museum itself, but
I listened to the episodes, the guests that come on
the show, people who you know are that are really
trying to keep his memory alive, like Michael Bernard, of course,
who has a substack of all his writings. It's amazing.
(03:09):
I'm getting to know him. And that's kind of what
podcasting and things like substack and blogs, that's what it's
all about. It's about remembering someone sometimes who are as
part of history that may have been forgotten or relegated
just a little small area of where they're from. But
(03:30):
this is what this this, this this show does we
get to amplify, amplify his work, his life, his legacy,
his family. That's actually a beautiful thing. You know. Not
all podcasts are about current pop culture or music or
dance or what or just you know politics. Some podcasts
(03:52):
like this one are out there to bring awareness to
a guy who was a hero. In my opinion, and
I'm not just saying anyone smaller level, just to bring
attention to somebody with a part of history that you
just may not even know about. There are lovers out
there like to learn about different people. Everyone has a story.
There are so many stories out there that are just untold,
(04:13):
left untold. And every week, every other week we bring
us to a show on Tuesdays, bi weekly, by monthly,
as we call it, we talk about them in some form.
We bring more light to the world of or any pile.
For me personally, as a journalism minor in college, I
(04:34):
got I worked for a newspaper and I've been writing
my whole life. I love that his story is about
the regular person in the war. It's a much more
it's a very it's a much more humanistic take. We
see these war films or I have hear about war
(04:55):
people dying, living, dying, getting injured. How many personal stories
they're just like they might as well just be robots.
I don't know who they are. And he's still bad.
Of course, if anybody dies or anything happens, or people
getting injured. But Ernie Pyle talked about the every day
the soldier in their everyday life, and that's something that
(05:19):
I just thought, It's fascinating to me because, like again,
I do this for living myself. I talk to interview
a lot of people from all walks of life, from
all professions, from all over the world, and in war,
unfortunately or fortunately, you get a lot of diversity of
people's backgrounds because you're there for one purpose and you
(05:40):
get drafted in or you're join the army or whatever.
You join the armed forces, and it comes together as
a lot of different people from different places as there's
a camaraderie of spirits that happens. And from things I'm
continuing to learn about Ernie Pyle is that he had
the soldiers back, and the soldiers had his back. The
(06:04):
families appreciated the stories, The soldiers appreciated the stories. I
was reading to say. We talked about on the show
for about how they really appreciated the fact that they
were made to be humans. They were seen as humans
do his eyes because they're not robots. And for many
of us, there were our grandparents, our grandfathers. You know
(06:27):
in the stories with their families, that was our grandmothers or
for some of your great grandmother's making of us or fathers.
For some of you who listened to this program, you
know it's it's war as hell bran as they always say,
but there are people who are in it that again
(06:47):
made a separation of couples and families mostly really hard
and rewards this hard period. Bury Pile brought news back
home to people's families and lives. He was a cool guy.
I'm saddened that he would have been alive now because
(07:09):
it's one hundred and twenty five years later, But I
wish he wasn't happen alive longer than than he had been.
Who knows what else we could have gotten from him,
What perspectives you know, like way after the war, like
years later we could have got from here. Can you
think about that? Just like the works we could have
gotten from him later in life if he had lived longer.
(07:31):
But unfortunately for us we have what he had. When
he's put out there, it's there. And again for me
going to the museum and Danny Indiana and Ebod's so
nice there, Oh my goodness. A shout out to Andy,
Peter and everybody have that's there. It's a great experience.
I just I had fun. I did tiny the tour
(07:53):
and I had a good time. I bought some products
while I was there and books and stuff, and I'm
rooting for it to stay there and stay open and
whatever we can do on this podcast, We're gonna do
what we can to keep it going. On this podcast,
I want to thank the friends are any Pile and
all of them for partnering with JLJ Media and h
Groos Greek Productions. They have partnered with us. We have
(08:14):
a successful podcast. I'm a very specific subject and I
never thought a brillion years I'd have a World War
two veteran podcast on my on my channel when they're
just really I just would have never thought that. And
(08:35):
that's the that's what's being open is about. And again
I'm here of service. I'm here to help service his memory.
I've been to it, I've been to the headstones, I've
been to his families places. Now I've done all of that.
I've documented that on this show. And I mean the
show now becomes part of any Pile legacies, becomes part
(08:58):
of his legacy for his family and friends and admirers,
but also your shoutouts, because there are some things that
are happening out there to celebrate his birthday, and I
want to mention some of them. Of course Ernie Pyle
