69. Part 2 of Jekyll Island spawned Bretton from the Woods

This episode was recorded almost a year ago, on April 20th 2025, so we apologize for the prolonged delay on releasing it. We wanted to close the loop of this 2-part segment in a big way on the history and vulgarity of what happened at Jekyll Island all those years ago, and why it matters to you, our dissolutions, and our freedoms involved with them. We hope you enjoy this episode in effort of escaping the matrix or seeing the walls of it, at least. Cheers folks!

68. The Real Part 1 of "Jekyl Island spawned Bretton from the Woods"

This episode was inspired by the frustration brought about by the initial controlled demo of the U$ Dollar being backed by the gold standard, and what led to its last vestiges as the powers that be tricked us through it. It's a rundown of the first half of the 20th century's monetary system. We apologize for the redundancy, and we hope you find this episode as enjoyable as it is informative. Pardon the antics..Cheers!

67. Jekyll island spawned Bretton from the Woods (part 1)

This episode was inspired by the frustration brought about by the initial controlled demo of the U$ Dollar being backed by the gold standard, and what led to its last vestiges as the powers that be tricked us through it. And how we finally found something exceptional that came out of communism: all the good people trying to flee from it... Congratulations Alex Ovechkin on becoming the NHL's GOAT. Cheers!

66. Without great risk, there's no great reward

This episode was recorded in April 2025, when we discussed the dynamics of phobias, how they change over time, and what they signal in terms of our comforts and discomforts. Sooner or later, we need to make a leap of faith and trust in our heart of hearts that everything will work itself out in the end. The United States was founded on this principle of risk-taking, and allowing nature (the free market mechanism) to weed out the bugs. You can't control it, no matter how much governments and bankers may try to. Thanks for listening, folks. We hope you enjoy it!

65. Anything can be a drug

This was our third annual St. Patties Day episode, recorded on March 16th, 2025 (the day before the holiday). We got into a good flow of topics that stemmed from an Irish staple: The Spud. Before we knew it we were talking about God, drugs, the process and concept of wu wei, and its polar opposite: our tendency to have instant gratification. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Cheers! And don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast platform and share with others!
