Jay Flaunts His Ignorance. The podcast.

Chris and Jay discuss a podcast episode: Your Undivided Attention: The Dark Side of Decentralization .

Chris and Jay discuss Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), reacting to a couple of podcasts (links below) that are far better than this podcast. Maybe just listen to those instead? ;)

Justin Hopkins returns to the podcast and tells us what it was like living in China when covid-19 broke out. Jay drags the conversation into wealth disparities and social safety nets. Again. Apologies to listeners who are sick of Jay yapping about this and nothing else over the last 4 episodes. :)

Jay takes a 3rd swing at the ethics of American wealth disparities and probably fails to make any intelligent point again. :)

The first hour Chris and Jay revisit the ethics of wealth disparities. Jay tries to find common ground, and finally does, with a “100 people on the moon” hypothetical. We probably need to revisit again. :)

The first half hour, Chris and Jay talk about our high level “left vs. right” politics, and if those labels actually mean anything when reasonable people actually talk to each other. We touch on various charity experiences we’ve had, and the personal responsibilities people need to take on themselves.

If you’re not familiar with Bitcoin and Cardano, listen to episode 28 first.

Jay and Alex talk about crypto currencies, ADA specifically, proof of stake vs. proof of work, the NASEC staking pool that Alex runs from England, how crypto can and should work to help people in developing countries, etc.

Jay and Nick Diaz wax philosophic for 3 hours about a range of regrettable topics, most of which we don’t remember very well and will probably regret when you listen.

Dungeon World, episode 3. 5 friends sitting around a table. 1 microphone. Our imaginations. Epic adventures.

Dungeon World, episode 2. 4 friends sitting around a table. 1 microphone. Our imaginations. Epic adventures.

And now for something completely different.

Justin Hopkins is one of Jay’s oldest and dearest friends. He lives in China. But not this week. Because he flew back to Americatown and announced that we were going to record a podcast episode. About what? About Jay. dum dum DA DUUUUUM!!!!

Food Not Bombs (Omaha) cooks and distributes free food every weekend in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. In this (very short) episode Jay asks some of the volunteers why they volunteer. In a very noisy kitchen. Without the best microphone for the task. :) 025.mp3 (8m 10MB) Links: Food Not Bombs: Omaha Food Not Bombs: International WOW There are FNB chapters all over the world!

twitch.tv is a live video streaming service dominated by video games, but also hosting hundreds of traditional and digital artists and creative people of all stripes creating all sorts of amazing work.

You need more irreverant entymology in your life!

In this very silly and pointless episode four of us play the Total Rickall Card Game . We enthusiastically recommend that game and Rick and Morty S2E4 , from which it came.

Don Herfert tells us about riding his motorcycle from California to Alaska and back in 2015. Also, years ago, he left his home in Arizona on his bike and “got lost.” For 17 months.

Yay lots of religion and politics! Jay and his mom and dad talk about the book and movie “The Shack” after Jay rants about a frustrating conversation he had with a gentlemen recently. We also discuss a talk we attended in downtown Kansas City by Mark Gerzon, author of The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide.

Jay’s brother Brad Hannah just started a new job as a Biomedical Technician. Fascinated, Jay asks Brad lots of silly questions about how his new job works and how it compares to his old job repairing instrument landing, weather, and other systems at airports in Colorado and other states.

Rebecca Stavick , private citizen, tells the genesis story of the civic hacking organization Open/Nebraska. We also discuss public libraries: their mission, potential, and budget concerns given the Trump administration 2018 budget blueprint . Later Rebecca tells her story about flying out to Washington DC with her mother for the Women’s March on Washington.

Jay’s grandfather, Earl C. Humphrey, served in the United States Navy during World War II. He was serving aboard the USS Houston CA-30, out to sea, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In this special edition episode, Earl recounts his time as a prisoner of war (POW) working the Burma-Thai ‘Death’ Railway, and stories from the homestead in southeast Iowa.

Jay and Dave talk about minimum wage and the future of work. As jobs like drivers and cashiers (and eventually programmers and network engineers) are eliminated, what does the future of work look like? Do we need a social safety net? What form should that take? Univeral Basic Income, Living Wage and other terms are used, probably incorrectly.
