On this Friday the 13th edition of the Radio Ranch, I welcome my longtime co‑host Brent Allen Winters back to the saddle with a strong voice and sharper insights than ever. We roam from the lore and historical roots of Friday the 13th—touching on Saint Bartholomew’s Day and Gibbon’s view of Rome—to a spirited exploration of law, power, and culture: the Roman canon legacy, the common law’s focus on relationships, and how trusts really work in practice. We also unpack current events and media narratives surrounding Epstein, blackmail versus money, political corruption, and the fragility of free speech, while fielding listener questions on trusts (mortgages, recording, notarization, and powers of appointment). Along the way, we share Americana memories, from Burma-Shave roadside stories to barns and racing lore, plus reflections on faith, duty, and the meaning of fiduciary love—before closing with course updates from Brent’s Common Lawyer law school and a quick tech note on live-stream access and archives.
