My name is Flip Barrientos, and I am a US Army combat veteran, convicted felon, college student, advocate, and independent storyteller exploring life, human experience, and the search for meaning through stories lived and told. Remnants and Rye is a space for conversations, reflections, journalism, storytelling, and lived experience shaped by failure, growth, and curiosity. It exists as an ongoing attempt to better understand both the world around us and the one within by exploring difficult questions and challenging inherited narratives. Here you’ll find stories from the road and from home, conversations with musicians, artists, veterans, convicts, politicians, and everyday people I’ve met along the way.

    What is the American Dream?

    I have recently become obsessed with the idea of the American Dream and what it actually means. I have a final college assignment that has started a conversation I cannot stop having with myself. So instead of going to AI for a quick made-up formulation of what the programmers at ChatGPT and Anthropic want me to believe the American Dream is, I am coming to you, my friends. I am conducting a social experiment, and I could use your help. It is not like we are not all already part of a bigger experiment anyway, but I promise this one is a lot more fun and I am not going to force you to take a vaccine. Tell me what the American Dream means to you.

    Twenty Years Later

    I joined the US Army 20 years ago on April 19th 2006 and I think about this day a lot. My name is Flip Barrientos and I am relaunching my podcats, Remnants and Rye iwith the idea of being able to sit and talk about the events, decisions, mistakes, victories, and everything in between that have made me who I am and shaped how I see the world around me. This is an introduction to the new and improved Remnants and Rye. A show built on honesty, chaos, bad decisions, hard questions and conversations that might make some people uncomfortable. Sponsors: Edward From Garden City, Tx (I owe you a burrito)
