The Absurd Podcast The Absurd Podcast

Hey guys. It's great to be back in the patio studio. We cut a fast 1.5 hour podcast last night but we covered a lot of ground from Biden's loan "forgiveness", vaccination regret in light of new myocarditis studies, 6 month war mark in Ukraine and America's place in world conflict, and the continued rise of Ron "DeSavage" out of Florida. As always, thanks for listening.

Hey everyone, don't let the title mislead you. We (special guest Dr. Francesc Morales of University of Alabama) cover a lot more than the Roe v Wade leak and the underpinnings of the abortion debate. We also talk about the latest developments in Ukraine, ibonds reaching 9.62%, Amber Heard/Johnny Depp circus trial, Governor Desantis vs Disney of Parental Rights Education Act, House Bill 7 and its effects in academia so much more! Thanks for listening.

In this episode, Andrew and I with the help of special guest Dr. Francesc Morales, professor at University of Alabama, unpack what is going on inside and outside of Ukraine. Competing visions of American power and responsibility inform much of the discussion and debate as Andrew and I consider each other's point of view and develop our own in real time. Francesc brings invaluable historical analysis and his Ph'D take on the concept of Translatio Imperii as a means of understanding Putin's otherwise irrational behavior as form of conserving nationalism in a declining power. When we talk about the marketplace of ideas, discussions like this come to mind. Thanks for listening.

We are back after a 4 month hiatus. In this episode we discuss the problem of moving the goal post with respect to Covid policy, the difference between Science as a method and "The Science" as political propaganda, and as always the proper role of government to safeguard a prosperous and free society. We also get into the emerging economic landscape of Year 2 of Covid World and offer some sanguine and practical financial advice.

After a 3 month hiatus, we are back with a great episode for you guys. We cover cancel culture from Dr. Seuss to Gina Carrano/Bill Burr from Disney's The Mandalorian. We discuss the Meghan Markle story. We dissect the most recent bailout package passed in America. We dive into the Bitcoin market. We also touch on Andrew Yang's NYC mayoral race and a smattering of other international happenings. There's something for everyone in this episode. Thanks again for your patience and for listening. Enjoy.

For those of you who complain that our podcast is just 2 hours of libertarians dunking disproportionately on the Left while high-fiving one another, this is the episode for you. Andrew and I spar for the better part 2 hours over the politics of vaccines from mandatory vs voluntary, competing libertarian principles of pollution externalities vs body integrity, individual freedom vs collective responsibility etc We also tackle some international news from the BBC highlights of the day from Trump's death penalty/blanket pardon schemes to France's new anti-radicalism laws. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening.
