The Brian D. O'Leary Show

<p><strong>Mark Kurlansky on The Dying Art of Catching Real Fish</strong></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Mark Kurlansky</p> <p>We had the great fortune to sit down with Mark Kurlansky, the man who wrote the definitive book on <strong><em>Cod</em></strong>, to discuss his latest release: <a href="https://amzn.to/4bHUugF"><strong>TO CATCH A FISH</strong></a> (Storey Publishing, March 31, 2026).</p> <p>The Hollywood elite want you to believe fly fishing is a ballet of endless shadow casting. We tear that myth apart. We discuss the reality behind the movie <em>A River Runs Through It</em>. The beautiful, looping casts you see on screen will leave you tangled in a mess of your own line. This leads directly to <strong>O’Leary’s First Law of Fly Fishing</strong>:</p> <p><strong><em>“Thou cannot cast thyself out of a tangle.”</em></strong></p> <p>We also confront the grim reality of the Atlantic salmon. The corporate food complex wants you to believe the salmon at your local market is wild. It is farmed. The authentic, wild Atlantic salmon are vanishing across North America and Europe. Mark shares his rare experience of landing one in Scotland.</p> <p>Additionally, we briefly discuss the history of baseball in the Dominican Republic, drawing on Mark’s brilliant book <em>Eastern Stars</em>, and, later, the listener discovers why women may be rapidly taking over the fly fishing demographic.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p> <ul> <li>The 30-year anniversary edition of <em>Cod</em> is on the horizon.</li> <li>Why fly fishing is the ultimate battle of wits against an animal with a brain the size of a pencil eraser.</li> <li>Why <em>A River Runs Through It</em> teaches you the “why” of fly fishing, but completely ruins the “how”.</li> <li>The rise of women in the fly fishing world and how they are changing the sport.</li> </ul> <p>***</p> <p><strong>About the author:</strong></p> <p>Mark Kurlansky is a former commercial fisherman, journalist, and the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Cod</em>, <em>Salt</em>, <em>The Big Oyster</em>, and dozens of other books of fiction and non-fiction.

The conversation delved into the broader sports landscape of the 1920s, including the rise of different sports and the challenges faced by black baseball players during this era. The discussion concluded with an examination of key figures in baseball history, including Rube Foster's role in forming the Negro Leagues and the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker.</p> <p><strong>1926 Baseball Season Highlights</strong></p> <p>Tom Wolf discussed his new book, <a href="https://amzn.to/4msYLGF"><strong><em>BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES</em></strong></a><strong><em>,</em></strong> focusing on the 1926 season, which he selected for research related to his previous book, <a href="https://amzn.to/4nDu0Qv"><strong><em>The Called Shot: Babe Ruth, the Chicago Cubs, and the Unforgettable Major League Baseball Season of 1932</em></strong></a> (Nebraska, 2020). He highlighted the compelling nature of the 1926 season, which featured notable players like Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, and explored their rivalry despite never playing against each other in the same league. Tom noted that the season's dynamics, including the Yankees' and Cardinals' intense competition, made it particularly interesting.</p> <p>The discussion focused on the 1926 baseball season, particularly the dramatic career turnaround of Babe Ruth, who went from a poor 1925 season to lead the Yankees to first place in 1926, marking the beginning of his second-half career dominance. The conversation also explored the broader context of 1920s sports, including the rise of college football, boxing, and horse racing, as well as the emergence of the Negro Leagues and the challenges faced by black baseball players during that era. The discussion highlighted how the Black Sox scandal and Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis's opposition to integration effectively halted the progress toward racial integration in baseball, despite early efforts by managers like John McGraw and Connie Mack to sign black players.</p> <p><strong>Rube Foster's Vision for Integration</strong></p> <p>The discussion focused on Rube Foster, a pivotal figure in the formation of the Negro Leagues in 1920, and his vision for integrating baseball. Foster's health crisis in 1926 led to his decline and eventual death. Still, his legacy includes the first colored World Series in 1924 and an 11-game World Series between the Chicago American Giants and the Atlantic City Giants. The conversation explored Foster's ultimate goal of integrating the major leagues, which began to happen with Jackie Robinson in 1948, and his proposal for exhibition games between Negro League teams and Major League teams, which was rejected by MLB owners concerned about the impact of integration on their bottom line.</p> <p><strong>1919 Black Sox Scandal Investigation</strong></p> <p>Brian and Tom discussed the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, which Dutch Leonard claimed was a fixed game in 1919. They explored the history of the scandal, including Cobb and Speaker's retirements under pressure from Commissioner Landis, as well as the $20,000 in hush money paid to Leonard by Ban Johnson. The conversation highlighted the complex relationships and power dynamics between baseball executives and players during this period.</p> <p><strong>1926 Baseball Rivalry Insights</strong></p> <p>The discussion turned to the rivalry between the American League and the National League. Tom and Brian explored the careers of several legendary players, the 1927 Yankees' dominance, and Babe Ruth's controversial stolen base attempt in the 1926 World Series. They also discussed the different styles and strategies of the two leagues, emphasizing the historical significance of the World Series when the leagues were more distinct in their approaches.</p> <p># # #</p> <p>Ready for insights reserved for serious listeners only?

Virtue-signalers, viz.</p> <p>A meme gone viral over the last few days is a checklist that attempts to pacify the reader with a bunch of platitudes, one being <em>"Contribute to discourse, not division."</em></p> <p>This, of course, is a less-than-subtle dig at non-leftists. Gaslighting. To oppose the leftist agenda naturally causes "division" in the minds of these people.</p> <p>However, and as a matter of principle, it is really only our people who have been the ones to contribute — and show interest in — discourse so-called. We're the ones with ideas and questions.</p> <p>They're the ones scolding you and forcing compliance with their inanities.</p> <p>In other words, the left divides. Their people dismiss you and want you dead.</p> <p>The underlying motive is still not entirely clear, but it matters not.</p> <p>Remember if you wanted to learn more about the coronavirus mania and the resulting panic? You were told to shut up, wear a mask, and get injected with vaccines. Any information that did not tow the party line was called "disinformation" and was not allowed within their polite society.</p> <p>That's division.</p> <p>Now, it appears that the political left — the most violent and destructive force in the entirety of Western Civilization — still runs cover for those within its ranks. Lately it's for those who express displeasure in the fact that the gunman in Butler, Pennsylvania "missed."</p> <p>Once again, this is nothing short of division. There is no discourse where this is remotely appropriate. Yet, the talking heads in corporate media circles and the lunatic fringe spouting "conspiracy theories" are nonetheless given free range.</p> <p>The meme concludes: <em>"We can transcend the bitterness and be better, even when we disagree."</em></p> <p>No we can't. They should, however.</p> <p>It is their problem and it is much more than disagreement. It is an impossibility.</p> <p>Where there was once a large fissure within the culture, the last several days have revealed a cleaving on that divide.</p> <p>For it is not tenable to maintain a polity or a culture with people that hate you and want you dead.</p> <p>These people are your enemies. They are the dividers.</p> <p>It is personal. They came for your family and your livelihood.

Reports range from 72.6% to upwards of 90% of Spanish gold reserves were given to the USSR months after the outbreak of the civil war. The communist-backed government of the Second Spanish Republic under Francisco Largo Caballero either sold the gold to the Soviets or placed the reserves in Moscow for the Soviets to act as custodians. Well, that was a bad move. Largo Caballero and his Republican cause were eventually defeated by the Nationalist side and Spain was left broke, for most if not all of the remaining gold reserves were sold to France for currency. In the context of the Spanish War, the gold the Soviets ended up with (ostensibly to caretake or use for deposit on future munitions) is known as “Moscow Gold.” The gold taken in by the French is called the “Paris Gold.” </li></ul></li> <li>King Juan Carlos I of Spain<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I</a> There is speculation that Spain stayed out of the western oil embargo during the 1970s because of the then-prince and future-king’s business dealings with the Arab oil merchants.Juan Carlos abdicated the Spanish throne in 2014 and as of 2020, he now makes the United Arab Emirates his permanent residence.</li> <li>Warren Mosler – It doesn’t matter what currency you trade in … What do you save in?<a href="https://moslereconomics.com/">https://moslereconomics.com/</a><a href="https://warrenmosler.com/">https://warrenmosler.com/</a></li> <li>Wesley Schlemmer on The Brian D.

<p>The O’Leary Review Podcast</p> <p>Guest: Laura Davidson</p> <p>Show Notes available: <a href="https://briandoleary.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-freedom-understanding?sd=pf">https://briandoleary.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-freedom-understanding?sd=pf</a></p> <p>Laura Davidson – Bio</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3oYyJ6n">Laura Davidson</a> is an accomplished author, researcher, and multi-disciplinary thinker who has established herself as an influential figure in the fields of economics, philosophy, and libertarian ethics. Her work, which is characterized by a rigorous approach to complex issues, has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>Davidson is a recipient of the prestigious Lawrence Fertig prize in economics from the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which recognizes her outstanding contribution to the field of economics in the Austrian tradition. In addition to her writing, she is a frequent speaker at libertarian and economic research conferences, as well as other venues, where her presentations have been praised for their clarity and originality.</p> <p>Davidson is a graduate of Oxford University, where she studied earth science and developed an understanding of the natural world and its complexities. Her intellectual curiosity subsequently led to an interest in the social sciences. Through her recent research and writing, she seeks to promote a more integrated and holistic understanding of the world we live in, one that takes account of both the natural and social dimensions of human experience.</p> <p>While stressing that the social and natural sciences employ very different methodologies, she realizes that they can inform and enrich each other through a shared commitment to logical reasoning. Her work has received widespread recognition, and she continues to be a prominent voice in the ongoing conversation about the intersection of science, philosophy, and economics.</p> <p>About <a href="https://briandoleary.com/lauradavidson/">The Logic of Freedom</a></p> <p><a href="https://briandoleary.com/lauradavidson/">What does it mean to be truly free? In this bold and ground-breaking exploration of human freedom, libertarian philosopher Laura Davidson challenges us to contemplate the true nature of liberty. In doing so, she leads us to question many things we may think we know about the human condition and the world around us.</a></p> <p>Genuine freedom starts with an understanding we have freedom of the will. And yet many present-day scientists and philosophers argue that free will is merely an illusion. Their claim is that the activity of the brain is a purely physical process, analogous to the operation of a computer. But this implies we are mere automatons and cannot be held morally responsible for what we do. Moreover, if human thought and action is strictly deterministic, then this seriously challenges the notion of a genuinely free society by legitimizing the initiation of force and threat of force, particularly by those in positions of power.</p> <p>This book strongly disagrees with determinism and tackles it head-on. Drawing from studies in consciousness and the philosophy of mind, Davidson presents a logical argument to demonstrate why the human will is inherently free. While acknowledging that our choices are clearly influenced by certain biological instincts, many of which we have inherited from our evolutionary past, she employs fresh insights to show why we alone are the final arbiters of how we act. Unlike animals, which possess a lower form of consciousness, our decisions are not made for us. Her innovative and original ideas are a breakthrough in the discourse on free will, bringing a new perspective to the age-old question of whether or not human beings have real agency.</p> <p>However, while most people employ their will to cooperate with others, some individuals choose to dominate with force in order…</p>

I was very active in drama with a homeschool group in high school and went on to college to get a degree in theatre. However, I had my first child shortly before graduating and chose to focus on being a mom.</em></p> <p><em>My oldest who will be 21 in a few days is severly dyslexic. Because of this, I had the privilege of reading to her well past when most kids will continue to sit and let mom read. She always loved the different voices I would do.</em></p> <p><em>A couple years ago I had the idea of starting a podcast to bring old stories back to life.

Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.
