    William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold Speech

    In this episode we discuss the importance of William Jennings Bryan's acceptance speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention. This was later dubbed the Cross of Gold Speech because at the end, he said, "...you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." There are a lot of parallels in both economics and politics today that we can see when we look back at that time in our nation's history.

    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

    In this episode Victor and Ken discuss what they took away from reading the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. That also leads into talking about the therapeutic nature of motorcycle riding and how it calms the "monkey mind." As it is Victor's first visit to the Philippines, he is able to make some observations about traffic and riding a motorcycle that is different from the US and compares the motorcycle trip we made is in some ways similar to the ride Pirsig made that he describes in the book.
