More metals chatter, Bitcoin to silver, and Hunt brothers
Episode Summary
Happy Valentine’s Day from the Radio Ranch. In this Saturday call‑in edition, I riff with Paul and listeners on relationships, long marriages, and a few comic detours (yes, a Monty Python bit makes an appearance). We also check in on where to listen live and how to find archives, then pivot to a wide‑ranging conversation: high‑profile defamation verdicts and countersuits in the news, why “right to repair” matters (from tractors to printers), and the creeping spread of subscription‑locked product features. From there we dig into precious‑metals markets, premiums, and coin types; what “vulture capitalism” looks like in 2026; and practical ways callers are creating side income—from storage‑locker flips to Facebook Marketplace—along with a few tech tips for keeping Windows machines healthy. Callers weigh in with book and history references about medicine, the Flexner Report, and debates over homeopathy; we trade notes on bullion vs. collectibles (Libertads, Maple Leafs, Britannias, Philharmonics, and Walking Liberties), and touch on marketplace logistics, COMEX delivery chatter, and basic personal‑finance triage. It’s an easygoing, interactive show: part holiday hangout, part shop‑talk on money, media, repair rights, and everyday resilience.'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' (official site): https://www.montypython.com/'Witches, Midwives, and Nurses' by Barbara Ehrenreich & Deirdre English (Beacon Press): https://www.beacon.org/Witches-Midwives-and-Nurses-P723.aspx'Murder by Injection' by Eustace Mullins (The Book Tree edition): https://thebooktree.com/product/murder-by-injection/The Flexner Report (Carnegie Foundation overview and archive): https://www.carnegie.org/interactive/flexner-report/Dr. Peter Glidden – 'Who Made MDs King' (author site): https://drglidden.com/product/who-made-mds-king/InfoWars (mentioned in discussion): https://www.infowars.com/Patrick Bet-David (official site): https://www.patrickbetdavid.com/Valuetainment (network referenced with PBD): https://valuetainment.com/John Deere (right-to-repair context): https://www.deere.com/en/BMW USA (features/subscriptions discussion): https://www.bmwusa.com/HP (printer subscriptions discussion): https://www.hp.com/CME Group – COMEX Silver futures (reference point for delivery chatter): https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/silver.contract.htmlMexican Libertad (Banco de México): https://www.banxico.org.mx/banknotes-and-coins/libertad-coins.htmlCanadian Silver Maple Leaf (Royal Canadian Mint): https://www.mint.ca/en/shop/bullion/silver-bullionBritannia bullion coins (The Royal Mint): https://www.royalmint.com/invest/bullion/britannia/Vienna Philharmonic Silver (Austrian Mint):
