Host Roger Sayles kicks off Lunas Monday (June 17) at the Radio Ranch with Paul and the callers, covering weekend sports, streaming options, and a lively science detour on water “structuring” after a Greg Hunter/USAWatchdog interview. We unpack claims about “energized” vs. “bulk” water, geodesic domes, and Buckminster Fuller’s triangles, plus why some listeners use gadgets to “charge” their drinking water. From there, we pivot into real-life planning: expat life in Ecuador (cost of living, coins, visas, and why not to buy property too fast), two beachfront listings near Olón/Montaita, and what it takes to build a like‑minded community abroad.Listeners also bring practical admin: Social Security and Medicare intake experiences, the possibility of lump‑sum SS back pay, and nuts‑and‑bolts paperwork tips (affidavits, jurats, notarization, W‑8BEN basics, and 28 U.S.C. § 1746 language). We close with show platforms and how to join live, plus a movie rec (My Cousin Vinny) for a little courtroom levity between forms and filings.'Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog': https://usawatchdog.com/'Euro·Folk·Radio' (show platform): https://eurofolkradio.com/'Global Voice Radio Network' (about): https://www.globalvoiceradio.net/about/'Radio Soapbox' (platform): https://radiosoapbox.com/'Paul English Live' (platform): https://paulenglishlive.com/'The Body Electric' by Robert O.
