025 - Luigi, The Hero We Needed Free Talk Cast podcast

49:51

What a doozy! I knew this one would be interesting when I saw that Rob Roselli had recently talked with someone who suggested that Trump was chosen by the Christian god to clean out the deep state, and I was not disappointed. We mostly discussed the deep state, the Federal Reserve, and power, but we got derailed for about 10-15 minutes into a discussion about natural selection and cosmology, prompted by Rob calling evolution "the greatest scam in history." I could not leave that unchallenged. Rob returned this week for a much longer discussion about evolution and cosmology. Stay tuned for that! https://patreon.com/lrnfm https://youtube.com/@lrn_fm…

031 - Let Women Choose with Nathan & Emily Berning 44:56

18天之前44:56

Is the pro-choice side really pro-choice? Do women who choose to have abortions truly choose to have abortions, or do they have choices systematically eliminated until there is no option remaining except to have an abortion? These are not simple questions to answer, but thankfully people are out there working to solve some of these complex issues. This week, Nikki joins me as we talk with Emily & Nathan Berning of Let Them Live, an organization dedicated to helping women and mothers have the choice to keep a child. Oh, yeah, the audio. Apparently I would have to pay VMix another $250 to have another Zoom user in the video, so my VMix software was not set up to facilitate this. So it turned out to be easier to just use Zoom.

030 - "God Laughs," with Mark Biltz 52:16

25天之前52:16

52:16

Have you noticed the abundance of paganism in Christianity? Jesus probably has, and probably isn't super thrilled about it. Whether we're talking about the many ways in which Christianity borrowed from pagan traditions to ease conversion, countless mistranslations in the Bible (some even intentional), and scribes touching up stories here and there, there is very little about Christianity that is widely agreed upon or not controversial. In today's episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria has a chat with Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries about Mark's take on Christianity. The most important thing to take away is that the Creator laughs. It's heartwrenching observing how many people seem to believe in a humorless god. Mark believes that the Creator laughs. Aria once remarked that one of her biggest problems with Christianity is that there seems to be no joy or laughter in the Bible: "You watch a rabbit eat a carrot and tell me that God doesn't laugh."

Well, Trump is president now. Libertarians sold their votes to Donald Trump to free Ross Ulbricht. That isn't a criticism. Aria admits she was going to do the same thing, and only didn't because her boyfriend was in the hospital. But... she's glad she didn't. The horrors we've already seen from the Trump Administration... Richie Rich points out that we didn't necessarily get equivalent authoritarianism with Trump.…

Treating human beings like cars is kinda strange when you stop to think about it. Just like when you buy a new car and have to register it with the government, you're supposed to register your new child with the government. And that... is crazy and a little sick. This week, Aria and Nikki talk about this, and the myth that it's something that is actually critical to do shortly after the birth.…

If you're curious about federal court and that process, this episode probably has information you're interested in.…

Why does your employer provide your health insurance? And why does it cost you money instead of actually being a perk of employment? How do tax brackets factor into this? And why do we support the insurance industry when it is a game of calculated fraud where the only way for the company to be profitable is to violate its agreement with you? This and more as Aria sits down with Rich E. Rich for another fantastic episode of Free Talk Cast.…

Some people are toxic. Even if the people themselves aren't toxic, your relationship with them can be. Some people just bring out the worst in each other. Some people aren't meant to be in each other's lives. Friends, family, lovers... If a relationship is toxic or abusive, it has to be put to an end. In this episode of Free Talk Cast, Aria and Nikki talk about toxic relationships, toxic family members, drawing boundaries, and ending relationships.…

Why is cryptocurrency exploding right now? The answer may surprise you. This episode is late because I thought my mixer died. When I finally got the chance today to dig out my replacement, I learned that the power supply actually died. That's great, because that's a much cheaper fix. Anyway, we apologize for the delay; there was a hardware failure. We love you all!…

In this followup to last week's episode, Nikki and Aria talk about the nuances of definition, and the importance of understanding things. We dive into the idea of the Mathematician's Answer, an answer or definition that is technically correct but completely useless under the circumstances. Finally, we talk about the importance of recognizing boundaries and not violating people's sacred spaces.…

Join Aria and Nikki this week as we sit down to ask what could be a very important--or very pointless--question that a lot of people have discussed over the last few years: What is a woman? The answers given may surprise you. Isn't it also curious that no one is asking: What is a man?

Controlling your emotions. Owning the self. Managing one's reactions, and therefore one's destiny. These things aren't easy. Sometimes we want to be angry, we want to be scared, we want to be upset. How can we combat these paradoxical desires and live rationally and responsibly, choosing forgiveness and love while owning our actions and behavior? This week, Aria and Nikki sit down to discuss these complex issues.…

Sorry for the huge delay! I've been getting murdered at work, but weekly episodes return this week, and we've already got another one recorded and ready to go! I lost the audio for this episode for a while, which turned out to be because I recorded it on the studio PC at Ian's studio, hence there being no trace of it on my own studio pc. Oh well. I wasn't too upset, because the quality is... not great. They were using webcams. I tried.…

Aria and Nikki sit down to talk about the death of Jaime Diaz at Aria's former prison (and Ian's current prison), the importance of ending the drug war, and the importance of providing people with a safe means to do things that you may not necessarily want them to do. Teaching people "stop, drop, and roll" doesn't encourage them to catch on fire, teaching people to use condoms doesn't encourage them to have sex, and providing people with fentanyl test strips isn't going to turn them into heroin users.…

Aria sits down to reflect on her time in federal prison, now that she's looking at all the letters she wrote her best friend while there, and then gets into turning negative experiences into positive ones.

This week, Aria and Bonnie sit down to discuss some of the latest developments in the way that the state is clearly fucking with Aria, making it exceedingly difficult for her to change her name on her ID and get a New Hampshire license. This time, someone decided to inexplicably alter her name change certificate to say that Aria was born in Michigan instead of Mississippi, and there seems to be no plausible explanation for this change except that someone is trying to fuck with her. Plus, the Donald Trump assassination attempt, a little about Kamala Harris, and the importance of choosing love and forgiveness over hatred.…
