The Rollo and Slappy Show

At the end of the month, it will be four years since Joseph Pacini, an at the time 52-year-old man from Clifton Heights, PA, was gunned down by police following a charge of making terroristic threats.  We immediately picked the story up as soon as it happened since it occurred so close to where we […]

Our friend, Dean-O, recently penned a piece on his site The Rogue File called “Why I’m No Longer a Capitalist (It’s Not What You Think)” where he has decided to transition away from being a strict capitalist in favor supporting a free market that allows for what he refers to companies that use some “socialist […]

I’ve been hearing about this Real ID that I’m supposed to be getting in the next few years, so I finally looked at what it is.  It’s not good.  Of course, the government will tell you it’s for your safety, but what else could they be using it for?  CarCampIt joins us to discuss. And […]

We recently came across a tweet questioning whether the free market could handle a situation where a single company had control over a city.  Could they dominate the people?  What happens if they don’t like certain groups?  Are there free market solutions to these problems or is this an example of an exception to the […]

Jason Stapleton got triggered when recent guest of ours Mance Rayder posted a screenshot of a kind of dumb conversation happening in his Facebook group. He then proceeded to whine about Mance and his views with his cohost. The problem, though, is that everything he accused Mance of thinking was untrue. So we’re firing back […]

It’s been long overdue, but we finally got Mance Rayder on the podcast.  We start with some conversations about unions, pivot to immigration and culture, and then go onto some talk about some issues we see among people resisting a world without the state.  Keep up and enjoy!

We’ve all had teachers and we’re all expected to put teachers on some holy pedestal of respect and awe.  Is that misplaced?  Are public schools the only poisonous place to send your children to be educated or do private schools suffer from many of the same problems.  Do teachers get paid enough?  In this episode, […]

As libertarians, we will often be asked how a free society would handle the role that the government takes in helping those in need and providing a safety net.  We provide some ideas and insights on private charity and the wealth that is created with free markets. Items Discussed The End Is Near and It’s […]

The news cycles have been especially stupid as of late, so instead of focusing on all of the annoying and bad things going, we decided to take a step back and acknowledge some nice observations from our own lives of people turning some corners towards liberty.

We’ve been talking about Bitcoin and promoting Bitcoin maximalism a lot.  One of our friends offered to set us up to talk to Chris Pacia to debate and discuss some ideas around Bitcoin maximalism. Rollo ate a steak for dinner, so he thinks he’s ready.  Grum once again decides to crash the party, nullifying the […]

There’s not much we can do to fight the state, but one of the options available can be very powerful: nullification.  We brought the expert, Michael Boldin, on to talk about all things nullification.

We can all agree that fraud is less than savory behavior, but is it Non-Aggression Principle violation level behavior?  Is it simply lying? Regardless of how we categorize it, how would we deal with it in a free society?  We’ve got some answers. Items discussed Prisons in a free society? by Bob Murphy Sponsor Liberty […]

We’re still mashing the Bitcoin button for picking podcast episode topics, but this one is a little bit different because it’s fairly actionable. Rollo recently finally used Bisq to purchase some Bitcoin.  Bisq is a decentralized, non-custodial Bitcoin exchange that offers some serious improvements over the Bitcoin exchanges that we’ve grown accustomed to. Also, we […]

CarCampIt and Birdarchist were discussing game theory and the possibility of a moon landing hoax in the most recent episode of their podcast.  I, Rollo, had some ideas and disagreements on some of Car’s points, so I invited him to jump on a call to talk about it and release the first ever BONUS EPISODE […]

We’ve been dedicating a lot of time on the podcast and the blog about Bitcoin and we’ve been teasing our Bitcoin maximalism.  Now it’s time to explain why we believe that Bitcoin is set to be the one and only money. Previous episodes mentioned Episode 90 – Bitcoin scaling problems and solutions with JW Weatherman […]

Bitcoin has been in the mainstream for awhile now and the media has been running their fair share of stories.  CNBC is running a special called “Bitcoin: Boom or Bust”.  Based on their teasers, it looks like it will be quite the doozy—and not in the good way. And while they’re busy with that, the […]
