A lively, three-hour autumn opener that had everything: crisp weather chat, a few gremlins in the Rumble feed, and plenty of spirited debate. In hour one Eric von Essex and I chewed over the week’s political theatre and the latest digital ID rumours, before diving deep into money versus currency, TreasuryDirect accounts and an eye‑opening claim that private bonds once propped up the system in 2008. Between tech‑tweaks I shared some guitar gems (Joscho Stephan’s blistering take on Hey Joe and JJ Cale’s Lonesome Train) and opened the phone lines for listeners on both sides of the pond. Hour two welcomed Monika Schaefer for a ground‑level look at the Edgewood, BC ostrich‑farm standoff: CFIA orders, RCMP on site, legal wrangling, and the broader questions it raises about public health policy, sovereignty and land—right up to Haida Gwaii’s title recognition. Hour three lightened and sharpened in equal measure: a British-humour palate cleanser, a striking 1899 German cartoon of Boer‑War “blood into gold,” cultural memory and film (from Rome epics to Snake Eyes), and why historical accuracy matters. We wrapped with housekeeping, call‑in details, and a promise to tackle feminism next time—properly.
