Mutton, Mead, & Music

I got to have this awesome conversation with Oystein Berge who is the Baron of Rotterdam, and the Host of the Mutton, Mead, and Music podcast! He’s another enthusiastic producer of Value 4 Value content, and he brings a ton of wildly varying, always interesting and enjoyable music to his show. We discussed a gamut of things, including, of course, music, mead, and mutton, but also Christmas tree farming, breathing exercises, spiritual ideas, chocolate machines, and more.

These two host the Bowl After Bowl podcast, and DuhLaurien hosts Homegrown Hits v4v music podcast with her friends, Mary Kate Ultra and Daisy B Cooper. They play music! Spencer played drums on Able and the Wolf, plus DuhLaurien sings on Hey! Citizen’s “It’s Christmas Time Again”. Be warned- we talk a lot of nerdy bitcoin stuff on this show!

Here's a quick solo episode with some updates. I've been keeping busy processing yard food, making mead, raising chickens, and playing with Value 4 Value music platforms. I've had a couple of instances recently where I was struggling with something, and I reached out to someone who could help. It's amazing how something I find impossible on my own can be made so much easier when I ask the right person. It's also amazing how willing some people are to lend a hand.

StellaQ joins me from Australia for this fun conversation about anything and everything. Stella is an awesome singer-songwriter, and a podcaster with great insights into the nature of the challenges we face as individuals and as humanity. She was kind enough to tolerate at least an hour of technical issues on my end, prior to this recording. I'm thankful to her for that, and I believe it was worth the struggle, because we chatted late into the night (morning for her) in this most enjoyable episode.

Ep 15Deep State Consciousness

I am honored and thankful to have on Richard Cox of Deep State Consciousness for this episode. Richard is a comprehensive researcher, author, podcaster, public speaker, and poet. In this discussion we read a few of his poems and talk about them. We touch on his “Energy of Empire” series, which is all about American expansions (invasions of poor countries), and his “Measuring the Mandates” essay, for which Richard compiled extensive data and made sense of it in a way that has garnered some well earned acclaim. In the second half of our chat, we go deep into Christianity and philosophy, and one might say I derail the conversation a bit. Haha, oops.

Iraq vet Mark Hendricks joins me again to talk about the lives lost there, the pointlessness of the mission, and the lies that led us there. This is a more somber episode than usual, but we felt it was worth doing, and we hope you find it worth listening. ps. I'm a complete dumbass! Not only due to my ignorance on this topic, but also because I MESSED UP THE RECORDING! We recorded in my studio, each with a mic, but I recorded 2 tracks of my own mic, and none of Mark's.

Ep 7While Babylon Burns

E

Andy is host of the Burn Babylon Burn podcast, as well as The Doom Kitchen. He drives truck and enjoys good music, podcasts, bike riding, and connecting with friends. We get into some pretty deep philosophical and religious stuff on this one, and I may have blasphemed at one or two points! Having connected through podcasts, we’ve chatted online here and there for a couple of years, and having done a few shows together now, we’ve built up good repertoire; we really enjoy shooting the s**t. Be well. https://libertylinks.io/thedoomkitchen https://linktr.ee/3xburn https://twitter.com/TheDoomKitchen [email protected] Featured song: “Cry for the Innocence”, by Ariel Powell - https://arielpowell.bandcamp.com/track/cry-for-the-innocence Follow and tip me with lightning on NOSTR- npub1us0zt457w3s93da43kgzvur63sn5p3ae67gtrc43h25guesg3srqh2z0cu Download my music - https://arielpowell.bandcamp.com/ Stream on Spotify: The Lightningrod Salesman - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3c7scHJnP9C6AIT5riKeHd?si=009dc1760212462f Ariel Powell - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LMIHbkkq4HONB2a5AQUld?si=4d173eb484bf4a6d

Raising Beef Responsibly

I texted my friend Kelsie to come on the show to discuss sustainable farming, local economy, entrepreneurship, and how these things make us more free. She had time that very evening to chat, so we made it happen! She’s got a great story of how she got into this business, and an admirable and inspiring approach to life, business, and being useful. Getcha some of Kelsie's beef!!! https://maidencreekbeef.com/ Featured song: “The New Part Where I Go”, by Ariel Powell - https://arielpowell.bandcamp.com/track/the-new-part-where-i-go Download my music for Free! - https://arielpowell.bandcamp.com/ Stream on Spotify: The Lightningrod Salesman - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3c7scHJnP9C6AIT5riKeHd?si=009dc1760212462f Ariel Powell - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LMIHbkkq4HONB2a5AQUld?si=4d173eb484bf4a6d My Friends Hate Freedom Telegram - https://t.me/myfriendshatefreedom

Ep 4Military to Mises

E

My friend Mark Hendricks joins me to talk about his journey from the military to discovering the Mises Institute and podcasts. Him and I used to butt heads around politics in a dramatic way, so years later it’s awesome to find that our paths have converged around that very thing.

Ep 3Natural Law and Tasty Beverages

E

Jeff Hippauf spent an evening with me, mulling over the nuances of tasty beverages and Natural Law. I am so glad I got to catch Jeff on this special evening; he’s low on sleep, enjoying his rye, and in rare form! I also enjoyed my mead and beer, and we both had fun catching up with each-other. There will be a part 2 to this episode, because we talked late into the night! Also, we ended this episode naturally, then I remembered a question that I hadn’t yet asked, haha. Anyway, enjoy.

Ep 2Single Stream Taxation

E

Toby and Johnny Join me in this episode to discuss the idea of a single stream, directly accountable taxation system, in which people would only pay taxest directly to their local governors, who in turn would be responsible for paying a portion of that to only the next level up of government. This system would incentivize local, decentralized management, and dis-incentivize central, federal rule. If you stick with this one to the end, we have a great revelation about how to actually implement this! Enjoy.
