The Brian D. O'Leary Show

TO CATCH A FISH with author Mark Kurlansky

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 03:48:51 GMT

Mark Kurlansky on The Dying Art of Catching Real Fish

Guest: Mark Kurlansky

We had the great fortune to sit down with Mark Kurlansky, the man who wrote the definitive book on Cod, to discuss his latest release: TO CATCH A FISH (Storey Publishing, March 31, 2026).

The Hollywood elite want you to believe fly fishing is a ballet of endless shadow casting. We tear that myth apart. We discuss the reality behind the movie A River Runs Through It. The beautiful, looping casts you see on screen will leave you tangled in a mess of your own line. This leads directly to O’Leary’s First Law of Fly Fishing:

“Thou cannot cast thyself out of a tangle.”

We also confront the grim reality of the Atlantic salmon. The corporate food complex wants you to believe the salmon at your local market is wild. It is farmed. The authentic, wild Atlantic salmon are vanishing across North America and Europe. Mark shares his rare experience of landing one in Scotland.

Additionally, we briefly discuss the history of baseball in the Dominican Republic, drawing on Mark’s brilliant book Eastern Stars, and, later, the listener discovers why women may be rapidly taking over the fly fishing demographic.

Key Takeaways:

The 30-year anniversary edition of Cod is on the horizon.
Why fly fishing is the ultimate battle of wits against an animal with a brain the size of a pencil eraser.
Why A River Runs Through It teaches you the “why” of fly fishing, but completely ruins the “how”.
The rise of women in the fly fishing world and how they are changing the sport.

The Lost Years of Larry Bird with Keith O'Brien

Guest: Keith O'Brien, author of HEARTLAND: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and The Miracle of Larry Bird by Keith O'Brien (Atria Books, March 3, 2026) https://amzn.to/47ghvEE

Episode Length: 42 minutes

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Larry Bird is one of basketball's all-time greats, but there's a chapter of his story that's rarely told. Between 1974 and 1979, from his brief time at Indiana University through his magical season at Indiana State, Bird nearly walked away from basketball entirely.

In this episode, Brian O'Leary sits down with journalist and New York Times best-selling author Keith O'Brien to discuss his meticulously researched new book HEARTLAND, which fills in this forgotten narrative with unprecedented detail. Through interviews with teammates, coaches, photographers, and dozens of people who were there, O'Brien paints a vivid portrait of a shy kid from rural Indiana who changed sports history—even though he never wanted the spotlight.

We discuss Bird's poverty-stricken upbringing in French Lick, his time as a garbage collector, his legendary media boycott, the iconic Sports Illustrated photo shoot, and even a softball tournament in which he beat Joe Montana.

This is Larry Bird like you've never heard him before.

Monte Burke on MEN OF TROY: Pete Carroll’s USC, Reggie Bush, and the End of Amateurism

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 01:49:22 GMT

Brian O’Leary interviews author Monte Burke about his book MEN OF TROY: The Epic Afternoons, Wild Nights, and Enduring Legacy of Pete Carroll’s USC Trojans (Grand Central Publishing, published January 13, 2026).

Burke traces his own path into college football and writing, contrasts the atmosphere of college football with the NFL, and explains why coaches like Carroll and Nick Saban make compelling subjects.

We discuss USC’s unique Los Angeles moment with celebrity-laced practices, the program’s rise under Carroll, and how the Reggie Bush scandal exposed flaws in college football’s amateurism model and helped foreshadow NIL-era changes, while sanctions punished players like Matt Barkley who had no role in violations.

The conversation revisits defining games (the “Bush Push” and the Texas title loss), Carroll’s coaching style and staff, Pac-10 ripple effects, and ends with Carroll’s fishing life and Burke’s favorite fisheries.

Baseball in the ROARING TWENTIES - Interview with author Thomas Wolf

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 17:23:06 GMT

BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES: The Yankees, the Cardinals, and the Captivating 1926 Season by Thomas Wolf (University of Nebraska Press, September 1, 2025)

Quick recap

The discussion between Brian and Tom Wolf centered on Wolf's new book about the 1926 baseball season, which explored notable players like Babe Ruth and the competitive dynamics between teams that year. The conversation delved into the broader sports landscape of the 1920s, including the rise of different sports and the challenges faced by black baseball players during this era. The discussion concluded with an examination of key figures in baseball history, including Rube Foster's role in forming the Negro Leagues and the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker.

1926 Baseball Season Highlights

Tom Wolf discussed his new book, BASEBALL IN THE ROARING TWENTIES, focusing on the 1926 season, which he selected for research related to his previous book, The Called Shot: Babe Ruth, the Chicago Cubs, and the Unforgettable Major League Baseball Season of 1932 (Nebraska, 2020). He highlighted the compelling nature of the 1926 season, which featured notable players like Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, and explored their rivalry despite never playing against each other in the same league. Tom noted that the season's dynamics, including the Yankees' and Cardinals' intense competition, made it particularly interesting.

The discussion focused on the 1926 baseball season, particularly the dramatic career turnaround of Babe Ruth, who went from a poor 1925 season to lead the Yankees to first place in 1926, marking the beginning of his second-half career dominance. The conversation also explored the broader context of 1920s sports, including the rise of college football, boxing, and horse racing, as well as the emergence of the Negro Leagues and the challenges faced by black baseball players during that era. The discussion highlighted how the Black Sox scandal and Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis's opposition to integration effectively halted the progress toward racial integration in baseball, despite early efforts by managers like John McGraw and Connie Mack to sign black players.

Rube Foster's Vision for Integration

The discussion focused on Rube Foster, a pivotal figure in the formation of the Negro Leagues in 1920, and his vision for integrating baseball. Foster's health crisis in 1926 led to his decline and eventual death. Still, his legacy includes the first colored World Series in 1924 and an 11-game World Series between the Chicago American Giants and the Atlantic City Giants. The conversation explored Foster's ultimate goal of integrating the major leagues, which began to happen with Jackie Robinson in 1948, and his proposal for exhibition games between Negro League teams and Major League teams, which was rejected by MLB owners concerned about the impact of integration on their bottom line.

1919 Black Sox Scandal Investigation

Brian and Tom discussed the alleged scandal involving Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, which Dutch Leonard claimed was a fixed game in 1919. They explored the history of the scandal, including Cobb and Speaker's retirements under pressure from Commissioner Landis, as well as the $20,000 in hush money paid to Leonard by Ban Johnson. The conversation highlighted the complex relationships and power dynamics between baseball executives and players during this period.

1926 Baseball Rivalry Insights

The discussion turned to the rivalry between the American League and the National League. Tom and Brian explored the careers of several legendary players, the 1927 Yankees' dominance, and Babe Ruth's controversial stolen base attempt in the 1926 World Series. They also discussed the different styles and strategies of the two leagues, emphasizing the historical significance of the World Series when the leagues were more distinct in their approaches.

Text of article follows:

They're now calling it 'discourse' What happened to disinformation?

By now, you've probably seen a host of graphics in the swampwaters of social media, hastily cobbled together by run-of-the-mill milquetoast leftists. Virtue-signalers, viz.

A meme gone viral over the last few days is a checklist that attempts to pacify the reader with a bunch of platitudes, one being "Contribute to discourse, not division."

This, of course, is a less-than-subtle dig at non-leftists. Gaslighting. To oppose the leftist agenda naturally causes "division" in the minds of these people.

However, and as a matter of principle, it is really only our people who have been the ones to contribute — and show interest in — discourse so-called. We're the ones with ideas and questions.

They're the ones scolding you and forcing compliance with their inanities.

In other words, the left divides. Their people dismiss you and want you dead.

The underlying motive is still not entirely clear, but it matters not.

Remember if you wanted to learn more about the coronavirus mania and the resulting panic? You were told to shut up, wear a mask, and get injected with vaccines. Any information that did not tow the party line was called "disinformation" and was not allowed within their polite society.

That's division.

Now, it appears that the political left — the most violent and destructive force in the entirety of Western Civilization — still runs cover for those within its ranks. Lately it's for those who express displeasure in the fact that the gunman in Butler, Pennsylvania "missed."

Once again, this is nothing short of division. There is no discourse where this is remotely appropriate. Yet, the talking heads in corporate media circles and the lunatic fringe spouting "conspiracy theories" are nonetheless given free range.

The meme concludes: "We can transcend the bitterness and be better, even when we disagree."

No we can't. They should, however.

It is their problem and it is much more than disagreement. It is an impossibility.

Where there was once a large fissure within the culture, the last several days have revealed a cleaving on that divide.

For it is not tenable to maintain a polity or a culture with people that hate you and want you dead.

These people are your enemies. They are the dividers.

It is personal. They came for your family and your livelihood. They'll do it again.

It is political — which is, to say, little more than the simple distinction between who is a friend and who is an enemy.

And it has nothing to do with elections.

Some people might think there are hard choices to be made. To the contrary — the choices aren't difficult.

Painful perhaps, but pain is part of life. It's unavoidable.

Suffering, on the other hand, is a choice. For too long folks have been entirely too comfortable suffering and enduring under this regime.

Admittedly, the left may be a catalyst for such "victim mentality," but mentality is a choice.

Attitude is also a choice and you are in control of your choices.

As always,

Brian

Biden v. Trump - where do we stand right now?

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 20:15:00 GMT

The first and perhaps only presidential debate happened on June 27. Adam Haman and Brian O'Leary have the definitive smackdown of the whole thing.

The fellows awarded a winner and offered some commentary. Hilarity ensues (though not necessarily intentional - it's a factor of who was "debating.")

Jason Purcell on the Petrodollar System (part 3)

Tucker talks to Vlad about the role of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. They must have been listening to Purcell and O’Leary … https://x.com/TCNetwork/status/1755748344465342565?s=20
O’Leary side project (Natural Order Podcast) breaks down the entire Tucker-Vlad interview… https://naturalorderpodcast.com/ep18/
Possible definitions of “petrodollar”
- 1. Revenues from petroleum exports. Dollars paid to oil-producing nations (petrodollar recycling).
  1. The currency of oil-producing nations usually fluctuates with the price of oil. E.g.s when the price of oil rises, the currency has more value. Vice-versa … when the price of oil falls, the currency’s value drops. Thus, Petrodollar/Petrocurrency?
  2. The pricing of oil in US dollars: currencies used as a unit of account to price oil in the international market.
Zoltan Pozsar – Hungarian-American “shadow banker” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoltan_Pozsar
Moscow Gold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_gold_(Spain)
- In the first year of the Spanish Civil War, the New York Times reported on August 7, 1936, that Spanish gold reserves (held in Madrid) were the equivalent of $718 million (US), which was the equivalent to $15.14 billion in 2022 USD. Reports range from 72.6% to upwards of 90% of Spanish gold reserves were given to the USSR months after the outbreak of the civil war. The communist-backed government of the Second Spanish Republic under Francisco Largo Caballero either sold the gold to the Soviets or placed the reserves in Moscow for the Soviets to act as custodians. Well, that was a bad move. Largo Caballero and his Republican cause were eventually defeated by the Nationalist side and Spain was left broke, for most if not all of the remaining gold reserves were sold to France for currency. In the context of the Spanish War, the gold the Soviets ended up with (ostensibly to caretake or use for deposit on future munitions) is known as “Moscow Gold.” The gold taken in by the French is called the “Paris Gold.”
King Juan Carlos I of Spainhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_I There is speculation that Spain stayed out of the western oil embargo during the 1970s because of the then-prince and future-king’s business dealings with the Arab oil merchants.Juan Carlos abdicated the Spanish throne in 2014 and as of 2020, he now makes the United Arab Emirates his permanent residence.

Matthew Sercely – Agorist Tax Advisor Ep. 92

Matthew Sercely has been a licensed attorney since 2009, and in 2020 he founded his own company to provide tax advice and planning for small businesses.

He is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and side-hustlers by setting up their businesses to legally avoid as much tax as possible.

While he exclusively works with those who have or are starting businesses, Matthew’s weekly newsletter offers general advice that anyone can use.

When he's not screwing with the government, Matthew enjoys camping, weightlifting, and gaming.

For Matthew’s free report on over 60 Business Expense Ideas (and a few personal deductions as well), go to www.agoristTaxAdvice.com/oleary

Topics discussed: 1031 Exchange

· According to Investopedia, a 1031 Exchange is a swap of one real estate investment property for another that allows capital gains taxes to be deferred.

Agorism

· The mises.org wiki defines agorism as the practice of counter-economics and the ideas associated with that practice. Agorist ideas assert that Libertarian philosophy occurs in practice, in the real world, as Counter-Economics. It was first proposed by libertarian philosopher Samuel Edward Konkin III in 1975.

· The Agora program at Boston College we mentioned is now apparently retired: http://agora.bc.edu/

Libertarianism

· On the Natural Order Podcast, we give listeners a primer on libertarianism in episode 1 of the show.

· The Substack page for that show: https://naturalorder.substack.com/p/libertarian-political-philosophy

Austrian Economics

· Also on the Natural Order Podcast, we dedicate a show for our listeners to learn the basics of the Austrian school of economics.

Try as I may, I still can’t shake not being a sports narrowcaster. The topic still comes up.

At some point, I have to accept that it is part of who I am.

An interesting thing came up today when I was listening to a podcast that my friend and Natural Order Podcast co-host Adam Haman was on. They mentioned a “Deep Thought” from Jack Handey.

That got my wheels spinning, and thus this podcast.

Daily 3

1. Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

2. The hardest battle you will fight is living in a world where—every single day—someone is trying to make you be someone you don’t want to be.

3. Control the Controllables. It’s not “don’t worry about things outside our control…” Take initiative.

o What can you control?

§ Our words

§ Our routine

§ Our choices

§ Our actions

§ What we read and watch

§ How we treat others

§ Evaluating your life and priorities…regularly

o What can’t you control?

§ What others say and do

§ Our past experiences

§ The mistakes of others

§ What happens around us

Best-selling author, podcaster, and YouTuber Taylor Marshall was on the Crisis Point podcast with host Eric Sammons a few weeks ago. Marshall announced his intent to run for President of the United States.

While I don’t endorse anyone, I support the candidacy of Dr. Marshall. He’s a “dad with a webcam,” but more importantly has a vision for America that no political figure has properly articulated.

Today’s show is my commentary on Marshall’s candidacy…and that leads us to talking about regular themes and principles of The Brian D. O’Leary Show.

I, for one, do not believe that the amorphous “pursuit of happiness” is a natural right. Start thinking about it a little bit and you’ll probably come to the same conclusion. It makes no sense.

The Daily 3 (5/26/23)

· Service to others should be a personal calling.

· Self-Discipline: living in harmony with your goals and values.

· Consider strategy in every step you take in life.

Bill Walsh – Football Coach

His coaching philosophy focused on developing a strong system and culture rather than relying solely on individual talent. Walsh believed in empowering players and coaches to work together towards a common goal, and his teams were known for their precision, discipline, and creativity.

CrowdHealth It’s not a secret… But I probably pay less than you for Health Care! Here’s your solution: CrowdHealth

How does it work?

Step 1: Contribute – Members make a low monthly contribution to be part of CrowdHealth.

Step 2: Go to the Doctor – You go to the doctor, ask for the cash price, and pay the bill.

** For emergency events, let us know before you pay your bill. We can facilitate negotiation on your behalf for emergency bills before you pay them.

Step 3: Submit Your Bills – Submitting bills is super simple. Just snap a photo, upload to the mobile app, and hit Submit!

Step 4: CrowdFund – CrowdHealth facilitates Member funding requests, so bills are crowdfunded smoothly and quickly.

Can I see any doctor?

CrowdHealth does not limit your access to care through stifling doctor networks. As a Member, you can keep seeing your favorite doc, or talk to your Care Advocate if you need help finding a new high-quality provider.

CrowdHealth is not insurance. It is a whole new way of paying for medical bills through crowdfunding.

See if CrowdHealth is for you.

Freedom?

Today we talked about some bigger concepts. What rights do we have …. Really?

What is freedom? Do people “deserve” it?

Does freedom come at a cost? Indeed, it does. Most of us, likely myself included, aren’t paying for it.

Libertinism

A libertine is a person devoid of most moral principles, a sense of responsibility, which they see as unnecessary or undesirable, and is especially someone who ignores or even spurns accepted morals and forms of behaviour observed by the larger society.

Libertinism is described as an extreme form of hedonism.

Libertines put value on physical pleasures, meaning those experienced through the senses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertine

Libertinism is not freedom.

O’Leary’s Law (#1):

“Nice” is not a virtue

If anyone came up with this before me, I would like to give them credit. I don’t believe this is a particularly original concept.

The O'Leary Review - Episode 21 - Laura Davidson

Mon, 01 May 2023 21:30:00 GMT

The O’Leary Review Podcast

Guest: Laura Davidson

Show Notes available: https://briandoleary.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-freedom-understanding?sd=pf

Laura Davidson – Bio

Laura Davidson is an accomplished author, researcher, and multi-disciplinary thinker who has established herself as an influential figure in the fields of economics, philosophy, and libertarian ethics. Her work, which is characterized by a rigorous approach to complex issues, has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals.

Davidson is a recipient of the prestigious Lawrence Fertig prize in economics from the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which recognizes her outstanding contribution to the field of economics in the Austrian tradition. In addition to her writing, she is a frequent speaker at libertarian and economic research conferences, as well as other venues, where her presentations have been praised for their clarity and originality.

Davidson is a graduate of Oxford University, where she studied earth science and developed an understanding of the natural world and its complexities. Her intellectual curiosity subsequently led to an interest in the social sciences. Through her recent research and writing, she seeks to promote a more integrated and holistic understanding of the world we live in, one that takes account of both the natural and social dimensions of human experience.

While stressing that the social and natural sciences employ very different methodologies, she realizes that they can inform and enrich each other through a shared commitment to logical reasoning. Her work has received widespread recognition, and she continues to be a prominent voice in the ongoing conversation about the intersection of science, philosophy, and economics.

About The Logic of Freedom

What does it mean to be truly free? In this bold and ground-breaking exploration of human freedom, libertarian philosopher Laura Davidson challenges us to contemplate the true nature of liberty. In doing so, she leads us to question many things we may think we know about the human condition and the world around us.

Genuine freedom starts with an understanding we have freedom of the will. And yet many present-day scientists and philosophers argue that free will is merely an illusion. Their claim is that the activity of the brain is a purely physical process, analogous to the operation of a computer. But this implies we are mere automatons and cannot be held morally responsible for what we do. Moreover, if human thought and action is strictly deterministic, then this seriously challenges the notion of a genuinely free society by legitimizing the initiation of force and threat of force, particularly by those in positions of power.

This book strongly disagrees with determinism and tackles it head-on. Drawing from studies in consciousness and the philosophy of mind, Davidson presents a logical argument to demonstrate why the human will is inherently free. While acknowledging that our choices are clearly influenced by certain biological instincts, many of which we have inherited from our evolutionary past, she employs fresh insights to show why we alone are the final arbiters of how we act. Unlike animals, which possess a lower form of consciousness, our decisions are not made for us. Her innovative and original ideas are a breakthrough in the discourse on free will, bringing a new perspective to the age-old question of whether or not human beings have real agency.

However, while most people employ their will to cooperate with others, some individuals choose to dominate with force in order…

The O'Leary Review Podcast - A bitcoiner mom of 4 and narrator of classic children's stories - Episode 20 - Trista Roberts

The O’Leary Review Podcast

Guest: Trista Roberts

Show Notes available: https://briandoleary.substack.com/p/a-bitcoiner-mom-of-4-and-narrator?sd=pf

We welcomed Trista Roberts on to the program. Trista has a unique story.

She has a podcast called Classic Children’s Books, but she is also a serious bitcoin evangelist, a fierce advocate of Fountain.FM as a podcasting platform, all the while…a homeschooling mother of 4.

Trista uses her podcast to “stack sats” over on Fountain.FM and other Value for Value platforms. She was also the person who really pushed me to join Fountain after “thinking about it” for several months.

Trista Roberts – Quick bio

In her own words…

I have been a stay at home mom of 4 children for the past 18 years and am currently homeschooling the youngest 3.

I am a homeschool graduate but attended public school for grade school and middle school. I was very active in drama with a homeschool group in high school and went on to college to get a degree in theatre. However, I had my first child shortly before graduating and chose to focus on being a mom.

My oldest who will be 21 in a few days is severly dyslexic. Because of this, I had the privilege of reading to her well past when most kids will continue to sit and let mom read. She always loved the different voices I would do.

A couple years ago I had the idea of starting a podcast to bring old stories back to life. I finally followed through and started releasing episodes of the Classic Children's Books Podcast where I am currently reading Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book.

Dunning-Kruger Effect

A cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

Happy Opening Day. A rite of spring.

I wasn’t quite ready to embrace it, but I begrudgingly love it as I do every year.

We talked about baseball and the failures of these sports leagues and some of my favorite franchises: the Boston Red Sox and Portland Trail Blazers. [Insert sad-face emoji.]

Bill Clinton

Ironically, a photograph of Bill Clinton is the only known photo of an American president that I own. My late father had a photo op with Slick Willie many years ago.

My dad was a big fan of Bill for some reason, and I have a picture of the two around here somewhere. I recently did some re-org in the office so I can’t find it right now. Otherwise, I would have scanned it and put it in the show notes.

My dad was a big Obama guy as well. Can’t figure it out. I never got to ask him about Trump, but I remember him liking The Donald back in the 1980s and early 90s if, for nothing else, the entertainment value he got out of his routine.

The Mandolorian

‘The Mandalorian’ Season Three Gets Off to a Disappointing Start by Alan Sepinwall

Good review by my favorite TV Critic, Alan Sepinwall. Good in that I love to read “What’s Alan Watching,” but perhaps too “critical” of the show itself.

Sepinwall’s piece was a breakdown of the season premiere episode, not the one I mentioned here today, which was the third installment.

I think The Mandolorian—and the Disney properties in general—have major flaws. No doubt.

However, The Mandolorian—both the character and the show—are just cool. I’ve loved all of the Star Wars live action TV shows way more than the atrocities called the “prequel” movies and certainly the sequel trilogy. I did like the first installment of the sequels for a little bit—you can’t really go wrong with Han and Chewie.

That being said, the Star Wars TV stuff—Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and The Mandalorian—are all great entertainment as far as I’m concerned. In the way that Rogue One and Solo were good entertainment. I’d rank all of these shows and movies ahead of the official prequel and sequel movies.

If you don’t already have Disney+, I wouldn’t say there’s any rush to go out and get it, but if you do, Mando is worth an hour out of every week…or a nice binge on the weekend to catch up.

The Ukraine

Commentary: Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem

Although Azov uses Nazi-era symbolism and recruits neo-Nazis into its ranks, a recent article in Foreign Affairs downplayed any risks the group might pose, pointing out that, like other volunteer militias, Azov has been “reined in” through its integration into Ukraine’s armed forces. While it’s true that private militias no longer rule the battlefront, it’s the home front that Kiev needs to worry about now.

Ash Wednesday & The Lenten Season

Make Lent the Great Fast Again – Eric Sammons, Crisis Magazine (video)

https://odysee.com/@CrisisMag:9/make-lent-the-great-fast-again:2

Sammons mentioned an article his wife, Suzan wrote about fasting,

You Need to Fast More by Suzan Sammons

Remember:

- Fasting

- Almsgiving

Standard Time

Adjust or shift your own schedule to accommodate the sunlight. Don’t make the rest of us fuss around with the clocks.

Forrest Gump, for instance, said, "When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, you know, I went."

The lady on the park bench famously asked the Alabamian, "And so, you just ran?"

"Yeah," replied Forrest.

Gump just cottoned to his internal rhythms rather than the artificial time set forth by a local or regional government. A lot of wisdom in that fella.

Saint Valentine

February 14

This Day, the Fourteenth Day of February

At Rome, on the Flaminian road, in the time of the emperor Claudius, the birthday of blessed Valentine, priest and martyr, who after having cured and instructed many persons, was beaten with clubs and beheaded.

Also, at Rome, the holy martyrs Vitalis, Felicula, and Zeno.

At Teramo, St. Valentine, bishop and martyr, who was scourged, committed to prison, and as he remained unshaken in his faith, was taken out of his dungeon in the dead of night and beheaded by order of Placidus, prefect of the city.

In the same place, the holy martyrs Proculus, Ephebus and Apollonius, who, whilst watching by the body of St. Valentine, were arrested and put to the sword by the command of the ex-consul Leontius. …

A tragic day, but “the Music” continued

The legendary rock ‘n’ roller Buddy Holly headlined a package show in early 1959, known as the Winter Dance Party.

The itinerary was bananas. It covered twenty-four Midwestern cities in twenty-four days—there were no off days.

The tour schedule crisscrossed the upper Midwest with no apparent logic. Overnight jaunts of several hundred miles—all in sub-freezing temperatures—were commonplace.

Holly historian Bill Griggs had this to say about General Artists Corporation (GAC)—the operation which booked the tour:

"They didn’t care. It was like they threw darts at a map… The tour from hell—that’s what they named it—and it’s not a bad name."

On February 2nd, the show in Clear Lake, Iowa ended, and the tour headed about 400 miles northwest from Clear Lake to Morehead, Minnesota.

Holly famously chartered a plane for his band prior to the show. Buddy was concerned with getting some rest and making a head start to take care of some much-needed laundry for him and his tour mates.

Ultimately, only the headliners of the show took the charter.

Waylon Jennings, then playing bass guitar in Holly’s band, said he felt more comfortable riding on the tour bus and voluntarily gave up his seat to J.P. Richardson, the Beaumont, Texas disc jockey and tour co-headliner, known as The Big Bopper.

Richardson felt ill and needed rest.

The Winter Dance Party consisted of several contemporary and would-be stars.

Yet the party ended on February 3, 1959, for the 22-year-old Holly and 28-year-old Big Bopper when the plane went down in a blizzard shortly after takeoff, five miles northwest of Mason City, Iowa.

Also perishing in the infamous crash was 17-year-old Ritchie Valens of “La Bamba” fame.

Yet the tour played on. Sadly, in retrospect.

Future chart-topper Bobby Vee, then but 15-years-old, had Buddy Holly's material down cold. So, the Minnesota child filled in—in place of Holly—on February 3 in Morehead.

Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon, and Fabian ultimately finished the tour in the place of the deceased stars.

Waylon couldn't get to Holly's funeral. GAC wouldn’t let him leave the tour.

To add insult to injury, venue managers regularly threatened non-payment for shows because the original headliners didn't appear. It didn’t matter that they had perished in a tragedy.

After the crash, Jennings continued for two more weeks on the tour with doo-wop stars Dion and the Belmonts amongst others. Lead singer Dion DiMucci is the last original headliner still alive today and is in his early 80s.

Jennings returned to Lubbock, Texas after the tour ended. Holly’s father looked after young Waylon.

In Waylon: An Autobiography, Jennings wrote: “Mr. Holley wanted to promote me, because he said Buddy believed in me, but I had enough sense to know that wouldn’t be right. He bought me clothes and things like Buddy would.”

Waylon returned to the job that got him noticed by Buddy Holly in the first place, as a radio disc jockey. He bounced around west Texas and Arizona as a DJ for the better part of a decade before he reappeared in the public consciousness as a musician once again in the late 1960s.

So, contrary to the schmaltz unleashed by Don McLean in 1971, “music" did not die that day.

It is more than unsettling that American Pie, McLean’s terrible—and entirely too long of a—…

Daily newsletters are different than a newspaper column.

Our commitment here is to be consistent rather than coming at you every day at the same time. We will be here quite often.

The point being…we’ve embarked on a new mission here and it is to help others launch and/or produce their own podcasts.

At this stage, I’m providing a free 30-minute consultation to see if we can be of any help. What can we do?

They hate you for your gas stove. They hate that Tom Brady is still a great quarterback at age 45.

Thus it is reasonable to be a fan of cooking on a natural gas range and a fan of Tom Brady.

I could be speaking for any number of Americans: They hate me and want to snuff out all joy in my life, but cooking over a flame with a decent lick and watching Tom Brady play ball help me win. I derive joy from these simple things.

The story of Damar Hamlin and his recovery

Links via, ESPN … take them for what they are worth…Damar Hamlin begins to awaken, moving hands and feet, doctors say

Uncle says Damar Hamlin still ‘fighting,’ family grateful for support

Today: Damar Hamlin has breathing tube removed, FaceTimes with Bills

As a result, the NFL has to scramble to save face and: NFL approves plan for possible neutral-site AFC title game

Why do I say take these stories from ESPN “for what they are worth?”

ESPN is compromised on many fronts. As I Tweeted earlier this week:

“Moral hazard for ESPN if either likely scenarios are true.

They’ll never admit that football is a gladiatorial pursuit w/ obvious known risks that most players, coaches, fans & media choose to ignore.

If he “shook a clot,” there’s no way they could square the circle on that one”

Update (moments before I hit publish):

Horribly sad, if true.

“There is a lot of speculation on the Internet about whether or not Damar Hamlin will recover from his injury.

I am very sad to report that this is unlikely.

While I very much hope that I am wrong about this, the evidence that is known is not favorable.”

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-most-likely-scenario-is-that

I link to another Steve Kirsch article later…

What happened last night on Monday Night Football?

In broad strokes, we know what happened: a young ballplayer, Damar Hamlin, went into cardiac arrest during the course of play.

But the reaction to this terrible event has been all over the board with virtue-signaling from all sides without a concern for the truth.

There has been no legitimate reporting on the event from the news or sports media. Anything we’re finding out is because of independent media. I am not sure what all of this means, but I have some thoughts…

In this podcast, I analyze last night's events and it only runs about 30 minutes. But if you want to get a bird’s eye view of what I’m talking about, the rest of these show notes should suffice.

The talking heads on ESPN were stuck with talking about an event that nobody can really prepare for. Instead of rising to the occasion, the hours of coverage—until they strangely cut to an axe-throwing competition after the Bills-Bengals game was ultimately postponed for the night—were full of fluff and talking for talk’s sake.

We learned very little about what happened to Damar Hamlin other than he received CPR and went to the hospital and remained in stable but critical condition.

Here’s the play:

https://youtu.be/r1Z9Vd53yhI

The folks on ESPN emoted and talked. We learned nothing other than certain people lack composure on air when push comes to shove.

Ironically, an article that came my way earlier today praised the efforts of the entire ESPN team and its coverage, going so far as to call it a “masterclass” and that “we’ll be teaching their coverage of Monday night’s story in journalism school for decades.” This is from a supposedly credible writer.

He went on. “There was no speculation. No rumors. No reporting of what was being speculated on Twitter. Just honest conversations, straight reporting, real human emotion.”

In case you’d like to know more about these factual but feckless statements, I analyze the situation in more detail on the podcast.

One thing we didn’t mention was Skip Bayless’s reaction to all of this. In the first place, Skip is a world class jerk and he doesn’t help himself when he tries to Tweet or talk himself out of the various predicaments he caused by his own words.

Jason Whitlock Tweeted what are essentially my sentiments about Bayless in this situation:

“It’s all so phony. All of it. The outrage toward Skip and this reaction by Skip. It’s all performance. Sad and embarrassing.”

https://twitter.com/WhitlockJason/status/1610288252925222912?s=20&t=_GviJG4RxbG_dDpW8c832Q

The problem in all this coverage is that nobody was even the least bit willing to put on the mere façade of being a journalist.

As I saw it from the beginning, ESPN was in no position…

Dig a little deeper into Cruise’s psyche with Peter Overton’s 60 Minutes Australia interview. No specific talk of psychology or psychiatry, however.

This interview shows a short clip of Cruise’s Oprah appearance. Very odd.

Either way, I remain a fan of most Tom Cruise movies. He’s a legitimate movie star and the face of many of the movies from the last few decades… that I still love to this day.

I still have a hard time reconciling Cruise’s antics and the movies he stars in. He’s a movie star—and a spectacular one—not much more.

Jungian Typology

Carl Jung (1875-1961). A Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Hugely influential in the psychiatry field in the 20th Century and beyond.

Jung is considered the “father” of analytic psychology, who coined the term (Analytische Psychologie in the original German). Analytic psychology is also known as Jungian analysis.

Carnivore diet

We spoke about Barbara’s journey with the carnivore diet, and I brought up some of the foods that bother me—some spicy things, for instance.

Yet, I really like spicy food—more of the Mexican and Middle Eastern spices rather than southeast Asian or “American Toughguy” (see: Buffalo Wings).

Some of the Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese stuff immediately registers as fire without any of the taste. No can-do.

Buffalo wings—at least the sauce—are an absolute non-starter for me. Pure pain, no enjoyment.

Ironic, then, after I get off the call with Barbara and I fancy a Lebanese-style meal. I bought some kebabs the other day at Costco where all I have to do is reheat them. We have some hummus in the fridge and some sliced pepperoncini for a little garnish, bite, texture, or what have you.

I ate 3 kebabs, a small helping of hummus, and a few of the sliced pepperoncini. As the night progressed, my stomach started talking back to me, but I paid it little mind and eventually retired for the night.

Come about 1:30 in the morning, not only my tummy, but my throat started screaming at me and I had to get up to get an antacid tablet. Spent a few hours milling around, reading, etc. before I could get back to sleep. Felt back to normal the next morning.

Point is: know your limits. I know most of my limits, yet oftentimes don’t respect them. I need to eliminate things—many spicy things, in particular—from my life bec…

Franco Harris

Steelers Hall of Fame RB Franco Harris, author of 'The Immaculate Reception,' dies at 72

Starting with the 1980 season, Harris became the career rushing leader among active players.

The 1984 Seattle Seahawks did have the “Original” Curt Warner on the roster, but the 3rd pick of the 1983 NFL Draft out of Penn State was injured in the opening game versus the Cleveland Browns, ending his season.

Franco Harris—coming off a season in 1983 where he rushed for 1,007 yards—was released by the Steelers during training camp before the 1984 season, over an ostensible pay dispute.

After the 1983 season, Harris was only 363 yards away from breaking Jim Brown’s career rushing record. Harris joined the Seahawks in September, but only ended up playing in 8 games and ended up with 170 yards rushing on the season. He never played in the NFL again.

After taping this episode, John Ziegler tweeted that Franco had been at work on a podcast of his own about the Penn State-Paterno-Sandusky case. Here is the link:

Tom Woods School of Life

James and I are both members. Go to https://tomschooloflife.com/ to get on the waiting list. I recommend joining the school.

John Birch Society

James once worked for the perennially and unduly maligned John Birch Society.

William F. Buckley, Jr., seen by a good many Americans over the last several decades as the paragon of American conservatism, was anything but that. Buckley and his magazine, National Review, were “purgers.” Over the course of National Review’s history, the Buckleyites purged portions of the conservative movement for not falling in lock-step with the magazine’s ideology.

Ideology is an interesting topic when it comes to politics or political discourse. It is harmful. We could get into a long discussion on why ideology is so antithetical to moral order, but I shall just point you toward Brad Birzer’s quick article “Russell Kirk on the Errors of Ideology.”

Birzer wrote an extensive biography on Kirk, ironically one of the founders of National Review and who wrote for the magazine for years, but was then…purged. Kirk’s reputation has been somewhat resuscitated by some over at NR in the nearly 3 decades since his passing, but his idea of conservatism is definitely at odds with the bunch who run the show over there at this stage.

Here’s a video of Birzer talking about his book, Russell Kirk: American Conservative. https://youtu.be/8kn9RdM6gks

This is a long way of getting to the point that the John Birch Society was not on the “3 x 5 card of approved opinion” set forth by our cultural betters at the National Review, a magazine that has also purged other heroes of mine—namely Patrick J. Buchanan and Dr. Paul E. Gottfried—from their silly “movement” that has ceased to be “conservative.”

Tom Woods 100

Tom Woods—as far as I’m aware—coined the aforementioned “3x5 card of approved opinion” phrase. It is beautiful and explains so much about our world today.

Tom is also a mentor to both James and me.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, one of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom’s orbit” is loosely defined, but in our case, James is number 10. Ninety to go!

The O'Leary Review - Episode 12 - Andronikos - Journey through the Western Canon

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 01:49:00 GMT

The O’Leary Review Podcast

Andronikos

December 4, 2022

A reminder, the Substack page has the most thorough show notes with all the live links. Please join us at https://briandoleary.substack.com/

We’re talking about the “Classics” of literature today… it leads to a great discussion and is certainly a “conversation that matters.”

Our guest today, Travis—a.k.a. Andronikos—writes a blog called Wends of Change at https://wendsofchange.substack.com and wrote a book called Revenge and its Discontents: My Journey Through the Iliad which is available on Amazon (the Kindle edition is free with Kindle Unlimited).

In his daily life, Travis enjoys reading, writing, bowling, and video games. As Andronikos, he is “on a journey through the great books of the Western Canon.” His goal is to “read and think deeply about them with as little help from outside sources as possible.”

The Great Books Reading List that Andronikos is working his way through can be found at https://wendsofchange.com/books/

Book mentioned:

How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler

Essay mentioned:

“On the Reading of Old Books” by C.S. Lewis

From the Lewis essay: “There is a strange idea abroad that in every subject the ancient books should be read only by the professionals, and that the amateur should content himself with the modern books… The error is rather an amiable one, for it springs from humility. The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator.”

Commentary from Annie Holmquist at Intellectual Takeout on the Lewis essay.

Andronikos

The nom de plume derives from a fellow mentioned in Romans 16:7

“Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow prisoners: who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.” Romans 16:7 (Douay-Rheims)

Tom Woods 100

For no reason other than I am involved in the Tom Woods School of Life, I decided that I’d get 100 of my fellow members or people closely tied into Tom’s orbit on this podcast eventually. Travis/Andronikos is a fellow member.

After this week, we will only have about 90 to go!

Enrollment in Tom’s School of Life comes around every six months or so. Go to https://tomschooloflife.com/ … totally worth it. I’m planning to have a podcast episode dedicated entirely to Tom’s School in the near future.

Travis found out about Tom Woods via Michael Malice, who is a very failed podcaster and writer in his own right. Chain reaction led him to Tom.

The O'Leary Review - Ep 11 - Hartmuth Pelger

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 00:42:00 GMT

The O’Leary Review Podcast

Guest: Hartmuth Pelger

December 1, 2022

Recently, we got a chance to sit down—virtually, of course, because I’m in California and he’s in Austria—with Hartmuth Pelger.

Hartmuth is a multilingual business executive with more than 25 years of experience managing a wide range of financial functions, from analysis to auditing.

Currently, he is a CFO in the e-Mobility sector.

Hartmuth lives in Austria but has also lived in 8 countries across three continents during his well-traveled life.

More importantly, Hartmuth started a parallel career in business coaching for high-performing individuals.

Tom Woods 100

One of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom’s orbit” is loosely defined, but in our case, Hartmuth is number 8. Ninety-two to go!

TomWoods100

Book mentioned Tomorrow’s Gold: Asia’s age of discovery by Marc Faber

Influences

The Peter Schiff Show — where Tom Woods developed some of his radio/podcasting chops as a guest host for Peter.

The Mises Institute — The Mises Institute exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics, and individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. Founded in 1982 by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe — an Austrian School economist and libertarian/anarcho-capitalist philosopher, is Professor Emeritus of Economics at UNLV, Distinguished Senior Fellow with the Mises Institute, founder and president of The Property and Freedom Society, former editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies, and a lifetime member of the Royal Horticultural Society. He is married to economist Dr. A. Gulcin Imre Hoppe and resides with his wife in Istanbul.

Digging through the archives, we found the debut episode of the Tom Woods Show which Hartmuth mentions.

The e-Mobility Sector

Hartmuth works in the off-highway sector within e-mobility. Some manufacturers are now focused on not only alternative fuels, but alternative ways to power machinery in general.

The specific application of a fully-electric drive concept is key to knowing if it will make economic sense. For instance, Hartmuth is working on mining and agricultural application, and…

O’Leary argues that we, as a culture or a society, put entirely too much trust in failed institutions—the three-legged stool of failure…

Democratic government
The schools
The corporate media

Thus, a cultural degradation that affects everything else around us because of what makes up this “stool.”

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 01:01:00 GMT

The Brian D. O’Leary Show

November 17, 2022

We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.

Continuing the discussion from earlier in the week, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne
We’ve been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.

We will put a bookmark in our discussion of the Spanish War on Friday and introduce a new topic next week.

I hope to have more resources of what we talked about this week soon enough. We will publish a newsletter in the next few days on this subject, so if you are looking to delve into this subject deeper, remember to join us at my Substack page: https://briandoleary.substack.com/

November 17, 2022

We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.

Continuing the discussion from yesterday’s show, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

The Myth of the Spanish Civil War. One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives. By Stanley G. Payne
We’ve been told that the major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.

Today we talk more about fascism and how it may be defined. We reference books by Paul E. Gottfried (Fascism: The Career of a Concept) and Stanley G. Payne (Fascism: Comparison and Definition & Franco and Hitler: Spain, Germany, and World War II).

Professor Payne wrote the article we’ve been talking about all week. Professor Gottfried is the editor-in-chief of Chronicles.

We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.

Longer show than normal today, clocking in right around 40 minutes. We like to have these daily shows a bit shorter…at 20-30 minutes, but we went overtime today. Please accept the apologies of the staff and enjoy the show in the meantime.

Continuing the discussion from yesterday’s show, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

The major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.

Today we dive into what fascism is and what it is not. We also delve into the topic of “antifascism” so-called.

The rest of this week will be devoted to analysis of this article and will get into some parallels we see between the lead-up to the Spanish War and our culture today. It is analogous, but certainly not one-for-one.

This is the second show of the second week in our new daily podcast. We’ve shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being.

Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well.

One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It’s not radio, it’s podcasting.

Today we get into a couple of subjects we came across in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

The impending removal of Moses Ezekiel’s monument, “The South,” at Arlington National Cemetery.
The major myth surrounding the Spanish Civil War…that it was a struggle against “fascism.” Hint: that’s not at all what the war was about.

We left off in our discussion of the Spanish War about midstream, so we will get back to it later this week, hopefully for Tuesday’s show.

The O'Leary Review - Ep 10 - Haley Heathman - Liberty Alliance Network

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 04:20:00 GMT

Haley Heathman grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and went to DePauw University where she played tennis and was a three-time All-American and an NCAA finalist in doubles. She was elected to the DePauw University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.

Other DePaw Hall of Famers include:

Buzzie Bavasi — longtime baseball executive (Dodgers, Padres, Angels). Played baseball for the DePauw Tigers.
Ford Frick — Former president of the National League. Third Commissioner of Baseball. Played baseball at DePauw.
Dan Quayle — Former Vice President of the United States and former United States Senator from Indiana. Golfer at DePauw.
Mark Rolfing — Former PGA Tour pro. Longtime golf commentator. Number two golfer as a freshman behind Dan Quayle.
Brad Stevens — President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics. Two-time national runner-up as head coach for Butler University. Eight years as head coach of the Celtics. Four basketball letters, playing in all of the Tigers games during his career. Graduated before Haley, but inducted into the school’s hall of fame after her.
Dick Tomey — Longtime college football head coach, notably at Hawaii, Arizona, and San Jose State. Played baseball at DePauw.

Haley had a career as a luxury yacht stewardess for nearly a decade and eventually got out of that line of work and immersed herself in the culture of hunting. This new passion culminated in Haley writing a book entitled, Hunt It, Clean It, Cook It, Eat It: The Complete Field to Table Guide to Bagging More Game, Cleaning It Like a Pro, and Cooking Wild Game Meals Even Non-Hunters Will Love.

Haley now lives in Florida and runs the Liberty Alliance Network and is the host of the What Can We Do? podcast.

Tom Woods

TomWoods100 (My goal is to get 100 people within the “Tom Woods orbit” on the podcast…then we’ll talk to Tom all about it.)

Haley has followed Tom’s work since about 2011 after finding out about the great Ron Paul in 2010.

Says The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul was an “instant lightbulb. Haven’t looked back since.”

She calls herself part of the “Ron Paul-to-Tom Woods Pipeline.”

Like myself, Haley is a member of The Tom Woods School of Life. “OG’s”

Before we connected in the backchannels within the Tom’s School of Life network, I saw some of the videos Haley did at the Tom Woods School of Life live event weekend. I was not at the event, but saw her man-on-the-street interviews after the fact.

These short interviews are now up on her Rumble channel, WhatCanWeDo.

Her first interview was with Jeremy Evans, who we had on Episode 2 of this podcast.

I would have liked to have gone, but I haven’t gone on a plane since probably 2019. I don’t know when I’m going to be comfortable going to an airport or on an airplane. These people were evil and wicked.

In college, Haley interned with C-SPAN. If you are an old-school cable television watcher, you probably know about C-SPAN.

The O'Leary Review - Ep 9 - The Penn State Case w/ John Ziegler

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 23:06:00 GMT

Over the last week and a half, we’ve been fielding a lot of questions about a segment of our podcast that takes on the dominant narrative surrounding the “Penn State Case.”

I am not interested in in appearances, as I often say. I am concerned with the truth. The Sandusky case is not something I had any desire in learning about, but once I scratched the surface, it began a deep-dive into the facts and the narrative surrounding the case.

I’ve written about it in the past…taking a position as I have—which unfortunately appears to be the only reasonable position—is an easy way to get one shunned from polite society.

So here is my challenge: just listen to the show. You may not want to. You may think it will creep you out…it very well could. But this is an important story and it goes much deeper than a man’s guilt or innocence.

It exposes the cultural rot that exists within this society…and its cause is probably the opposite of what most people have been told.

We have a corporate media structure that exists in today’s culture comprised—almost entirely—of truly unimpressive people. These people jump to rash conclusions either out of sheer ignorance or wonton political—read: leftist—motivations.

I don’t know how we fight back against it, but I believe that being aware of the problem is a good place to start.

Part of my initial strategy for building awareness—even in the last show notes page—was to send you back to Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast, which I called “the most important podcast” we’d done up until that point…and start from there.

Human nature is such that people would rather insult me than go through the effort of hunting down an old podcast—a task which was not difficult, as I gave the link right in the show notes.

Thus, after a rash of BS heading my way, my tactics changed.

What we did is compile our material on the case into one single show, edited for clarity and relevance.

We encourage you to start here. Today.

This “2-in-1 podcast” is designed to help you get the basics of what is going on with this case and to ultimately go and listen to John Ziegler’s epic podcast series With the Benefit of Hindsight.

Meanwhile, we are praying that all our friends in Florida, the Carolinas, and the rest of the eastern seaboard are safe after the hurricane. In fact, we had to reschedule a podcast because of the hurricane earlier this week.

So, for today, my team cobbled together a “starter kit podcast” for the Penn State–Paterno–Sandusky case as it stands right now.

The foremost expert on the case is John Ziegler, who we’ve had on the show twice so far—once in February and once again in September. You can find those shows in our archives, if you need to, but the whole shootin’ match is right here for you.

Go to BrianDOLeary.com for all of those resources and to sign up for our daily newsletter and to be notified whenever new podcasts are launched.

Today’s episode consists of the two interviews, slightly edited for time and clarity … yet this program you are about to listen to still runs at over two hours.

The first part of the program you will hear in a moment was from Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast. The second part was a conversation from within Episode 8 of The O’Leary Review Podcast.

Part one is probably what I call a “survey” of the case.

John came on the podcast with me in February when I was still very wet behind the ears on the subject and after I had recently finished his podcast series, which is the best resource for the case. You’ll hear us mention it several times throughout this show.

Go over to John’s podcast with Liz Habib—With the Benefit of Hindsight—and there you’ll get the whole story. But there is also several…

The O'Leary Review - Episode 8 - John Ziegler

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 20:54:55 GMT

Mega podcast for you. Two hours of content.

We talk PGA vs LIV golf, college football, and step back into “The Penn State Case.”

We’ve provided some links and a bit of commentary for you. The main show notes page will be updated at

https://briandoleary.substack.com/podcast

Search for John Ziegler - With the Benefit of Hindsight when you get to that page. It should be Episode 8 of The O'Leary Review Podcast.

This podcast is definitely a "conversation that matters" …

John Ziegler is a documentary filmmaker, author, Emmy-winning commentator, podcaster, former radio talk show host and television sportscaster, and was called “An American Hero,” by former Penn State president Graham Spanier in an inscription of his book The Lion’s Den. This description is mocked by Ziegler’s wife and kids.

John was last with us in February on episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast when we spoke for over 90 minutes on the Penn State-Joe Paterno-Jerry Sandusky scandal that emerged in November 2011.

John’s podcast, which he hosts with Liz Habib, called With the Benefit of Hindsight is over 60 hours of detailed reporting on the case.

In this podcast series, “The truth about what happened at Penn State has been locked in a vault for ten years — you’ve just been given the key.”

You can find everything relating to the podcast at FramingPaterno.com

Other than his tireless reporting on the truth in the Penn State debacle, which includes a 2012 documentary called The Framing of Joe Paterno, Ziegler is most well- known for his second feature documentary film called Media Malpractice which covered the 2008 presidential election.

Ziegler is an alumnus of Georgetown University and grew up in Pennsylvania, though with no direct ties to Penn State University.

LIV Golf issue

The LIV is in the process of ruining pro golf. It will eventually—both directly and indirectly—destroy the essence of professional golf.

The PGA Tour

The Tour went a long way in setting us back when it came to its response to the covid situation.

Professional golf is a sport that is uniquely designed to change people’s lives. Competing in LIV does not do that.

The Saudis have not created a new market. It is an “artificial stimulus.” A “kamikaze” attack on an American institution perhaps.

Golf, to be compelling, must have an element of fear. When everyone becomes super-rich, there’s nothing to fear.

Tiger Woods (& Rory McIlroy) role in the PGA Tour … Is the Tour becoming cartelized? The golf media won’t ask the questions because it is terrified of Tiger Woods.

Does the sport of golf need professional golf to thrive or even survive?

College football

Sports have contributed to the cultural decline over the last two-and-a-half years. This much is clear.

Pro golf, college and pro basketball, and college football all had the chance to step up and be leaders in the culture and stand up to the crazy policies implemented by the covid regime, but none of them did. Every other sports organization and league across the world were cowardly as well.

How and why did this happen?

The cancellation of the 2020 Ivy League basketball tournament started the ball rolling…

“College football no longer exists.”

Winning the National Championship is now…

Ep 7 - The O'Leary Review - Guest: Sean Kennedy - Simbiotrek

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 20:46:07 GMT

As the Founder and President of Simbiotrek (sim-bē-ˈä-ˈtrek), Sean Kennedy wears many hats. Sean’s roles include:

transformation strategist and catalyst
fractional COO for small- and medium-sized businesses
small business peer advisory board coordinator and chair

Sean works with entrepreneurs and business owners to unlock the potential trapped by the structure and capacity of their current business organization, and to build beautiful businesses together.

Sean has 20+ years of experience in software development. He’s primarily concerned with Agile and Lean software, of which he is a practitioner, coach, strategist, and digital transformation leader.

We delve into Sean’s role in “digital transformation” and much more.

Sean’s clients range from:

Multinationals to startups
In the Americas to over in Europe and Asia
Within the aerospace and automotive industry to industrial automation and insurance into health care, retail, technology, and telecommunications…he runs the gamut.

Tom Woods

TomSchoolofLife.com

My goal is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on this show. We are building steady. Sean is the 5th person within Tom’s orbit to come on the pod…

First, if you don’t know who Tom Woods is, you’ve probably been living under a rock, but Tom is a benefactor of mankind…and to my intelligence level. Check out TomWoods.com for a firehose worth of great content and then work your way to TomSchoolofLife.com.

We need to keep the momentum going for this #TomWoods100 series. (And I apologize to Tom if I hijacked a hashtag he wanted &/or needed for another project…but I don’t think so.)

The point is—The O’Leary Review provides a platform for serious people to get the word out on what they are doing to make this world better.

Also— our mission is to fight back against the crazy in this world. It exists all around us and we must eliminate it.

How I met Sean.

I met Sean a few weeks back when he facilitated an accountability group within the Tom Woods School of Life that I am a part of.

“Blah blah blah…Austrian Economics…blah blah blah… I know nothing about that stuff.”

Well, you should find out. And we provide a platform here—at least on the last few shows—where you can now jump on the Austrian train with relative ease.

Over the last few podcasts, we’ve talked a bit about Austrian Economics and have provided resources in the various show notes.

The following talk, however, is also worth your time if you have any inkling to discover more about why one should pursue Austrian Economics in even its basic forms. You’ll likely discover that economics is indeed a field worth studying or exploring.

“The Attractiveness of Austrian Economics” by Tom Woods from July of 2013.

More About Sean

Lives in the Raleigh-Durham area after moving down from Toronto. Simbiotrek’s office is in “Wake Forest.”

Wake Forest, the town, is in the Raleigh-Durham area, also called the Research Triangle…not—as I found out doing a little cursory research—near Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. About a 2-hour car ride away!

Notable son of Wake Forest: Bryce Love, former Stanford running back who had a phenomenal junior season at The Farm (Doak Walker Award, Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year, Unanimous All-American, etc.). Attended Wake Forest-Rolesville High School.

Love had one great college seas…

My goal is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on this show. We are building steady. I think Darren is the 4th.

We just need to keep the momentum going.

The point is that this show is a platform for serious people to get the word out on what they are doing to make this world better. Also—how to fight back against the crazy in this world.

The O'Leary Review - Episode 3 - Sean Edrington

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 04:35:23 GMT

Continuing our series on entrepreneurship, we had Sean Edrington on the podcast today. Sean has a unique story. He’s an aggressive entrepreneur, using the Substack platform in a way that not many do…

Sean also started The Swing Trading Club a few years ago…and that has another interesting backstory.

SEAN EDRINGTON

@EdringtonSean on Twitter

https://linktr.ee/seanedrington

Our guest, Sean Edrington, emailed me a few weeks ago wondering if we could work together on a project.

We both have newsletters submitted to The Sample, a pretty remarkable website that curates “articles from hundreds of blogs and newsletters and send you the ones that match your interests.” Over 10,000 readers.

The Sample

This whole collaboration was new to me…

Sean said he was new to the cross-promotion thing. I am also, even though I mention and link to different newsletters and helpful websites here on our podcast and in our newsletters.

I took a look at what Sean was doing and — honestly — I don’t know of anyone else on the internet doing what he does with his Substack newsletters. Perhaps there are a few, but we’ll get into what exactly he’s doing with his Substacks…now up to at least three… here when we get going.

Point being, not everyone is going to be interested in what you do or say, but you do have an audience.

Sean is a graduate of University of Kansas.

He worked for Goldman Sachs as an analyst for about 3 years and now works with Standard C.

He uses his spare time to train in martial arts.

Spanish gold crisis

Errata: Your humble host erroneously claimed that the Spanish Republican government gave away about 90% of its gold reserves to the Russians in order to help finance its side of the Spanish Civil War.

It turns out, the “Republic” only gave away 72.6% of the total gold reserves sitting in the Bank of Spain.

Still a significant number (510 metric tons of gold) and one of many major blunders on behalf of Republican Spain.

"When you are the manager of this team and you wear the N.Y. and you wear these pinstripes, it's a heavy burden. But a guy like Booney, man, he wears it with pride, shows up to work every day and gets us prepared the right way, keeps us motivated and gets on guys when he needs to. It's been a pleasure the past couple of years to play for him and fight for him every single day. I could spend all night giving you reasons why he should still be the manager."

Thu, 06 May 2021 04:13:07 GMT

This week's show features a bias toward the Green and the Gold (although the Jesuit Crusaders are not mentioned in the pod…soon…very soon, however). Of course we bias to Portland and Oregon, which goes without saying. We chat about the Aaron Rodgers situation in Green Bay. We talk Oregon Ducks QB sitch. Payton Pritchard—Lions, Ducks, Celtics. Finally we talk Oakland A's. We don't stick entirely to the Green & Gold template, but it is pretty good.

Mike Lombardi on Aaron Rodgers situation.

Bill Barnwell on Aaron Rodgers situation.

Payton Pritchard article mentioned. (I have to say…good article as to getting the motivation behind Pritchard, however simple copy-editing is very poor. Just one for instance: writer says that Pritchard led the Ducks to their first final four in 2017…this would be news to my grandfather's fraternity brothers, several of whom were known as the Tall Firs and also known as the very first team to win an NCAA Championship in the sport of basketball.

Also, in the introduction to this episode we address the ongoing saga with the Juneau Douglas Crimson Bears basketball team. Find more information on Instagram at the "prospectathletics.co" account.

We are happy to be joined by Chad Collier of Papa C Pies in Brentwood, Tennessee just outside of Nashville.

Brian and Chad talk pie for a good portion of the episode, but then veer off to just as important topics like college football. SEC football to be specific.

Chad, not only the premier pie man in the nation, is also an Auburn University grad, so we take a trip down memory-lane with the Tigers. Chad also gives us his thoughts on the new football regime on The Plains.

(Unfortunately, no talk of O'Leary's favorite sportsman of all-time, Vincent Edward Jackson, commonly known as Bo Jackson…we'll have to discuss Bo on a future episode.)

Dick Allen R.I.P. Stats Bio

Hall of Famers by position. Third Basemen (17) lowest number of members other than Designated Hitters. Paul Molitor is considered a Third Baseman, rather than a DH or Second Baseman.

Portland Trail Blazers Carmelo Anthony’s Jersey Number Melo wants 7? Brandon Roy gives his “approval?” Brandon Roy “amnesty” deal. Such a travesty.

Mentioned: NBA G-League more.

Santa Cruz Warriors Kaiser Permanente Arena seats 2,505 “NBA G League Ignite” (Yes this is the name of a team that will be playing in the G-League in 2020 if everything works out). Coached by Sportlanders favorite, Brian Shaw. The Trail Blazers and the Nuggets are the only NBA teams without a G-League affiliate. Contact the Sportlanders if you want to talk about this phenomenon.

Major League Baseball list of retired numbers.

Pro Football Retired Numbers in Pro Football

History of Dallas Cowboys #88. The first to wear it was the namesake of a good childhood friend and former baseball teammate of mine.

New York Football Giants at Seattle Seahawks

If anyone has more information on this “strategy” move we talked about, I am all ears. Contact us on social. Some statistics regarding field goal kicking accuracy. I hate the score 17-5 in football. 14-5, 20-5, 21-5 are all weird, but more palatable.

New England Patriots at San Diego Chargers

Anthony Lynn should not return as head ball coach. Belichick worked him hard.

Oakland Raiders at New York Jets

Jets snagged defeat from the jaws of victory. Gregg Williams, the biggest jerkface in the game of football was fired Monday, essentially for blitzing when a prevent defense of some sort was necessary.

Denny Dimes—Dennis Grosel passed for a school record (tied with the Great Flutie) 520 yards. Backup QB who started 7 games last season as a backup. Guy is a flat-out baller. Eagles rushed for a net -7 yards. Had 36 yards of positive yardage with a long of 7. Proved to be the difference. Cavaliers had 262 on the ground. 287 through the air with a bad passer. I may have a retrospective on the Eagles season on a future Daily Sportlander. Working on getting those up more consistently. Been busy.

BYU at Coastal Carolina

San Jose State @ Hawaii SJ State: Surprise team of the nation?

UCLA @ Arizona State

Good game. I like both coaches. Sad that ASU has only played 2 games. Quentin Lake #37 for UCLA, son of Carnell Lake #37 for Steelers, Jaguars, Baltimore (#31 for UCLA in the 1980s—85-88). I recall being a big fan of his. Loved the Steelers secondary in general back then.

Get your Show Notes Here! We’ve been doing some technology upgrades here at the Sportlanders headquarters, so we apologize for the dearth of daily episodes like we promised. Also, I am working out the tech as I go, so there will be some irregularities from the regular Wednesday podcasts, produced by Tim Stout. Alas, the show notes for this episode. An FYI…If you are using Apple Podcasts, Daily Sportlanders should show up in your feed, however, if you want to search for previous episodes, you will have to to "Unknown Season." The main Sportlanders, The Podcast shows are under Season 1. A mild annoyance until we get things figured out a little better around here.

Ep 009. Mystery Ballplayer, Blazers, Baseball and Predictions

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 22:42:51 GMT

Tim introduces us to a new segment, tentatively called "Mystery Ballplayer." Tweet @thesportlanders for name suggestions for the segment.

The fellas dive into the scuttlebutt about the Blazers somehow being the favorites to win the West, even though it will be a slog to get into the playoffs. Unprecedented…we are in the world of the 'Rona, so go figure.

Brian gripes about the baseball season, but both guys are nevertheless excited to see it start and give the fans their predictions on how they think the season will ultimately shake out.

Show Notes:

Chet Lemon, backfield mates in high school football with former USC standout and 1976 Pac-8 Player of the Year, Ricky Bell.

Fremont High School, Los Angeles. Famous Alumni (does not include Eddie Murray or Ozzie Smith, who were teammates at Locke High School in LA):

Eric Davis. One of the best players of the 1980s and 1990s. Played for a long time and most certainly would have been in the Hall of Fame had injuries not severely curtailed his production. He even lost one year to cancer. Davis played on the same American Legion squad as Darryl Strawberry and former Padres and Giants third baseman, the late Chris Brown. Straw and Brown both went to rival Crenshaw HS.
Bobby Doerr. Hall of Famer and longtime Oregonian until he passed away a few years ago at 99 years of age. Red Sox teammate of Portlander Johnny Pesky, Dominic DiMaggio, and the great Ted Williams.
Dr. Dre. Rapper & Entrepreneur
David Fizdale. Former head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies and NY Knicks.
George Hendrick. Long time big leaguer who probably had his best seasons with the early 1980s Cardinals, helping them to the 1982 World Series crown. The progenitor, as far as I can tell, of the "low pants" look in baseball. A man ahead of his time. Also coached in the big leagues for many years.
Gene Mauch. Long time big league manager. Never won the Series.
Bobby Tolan. Solid big leaguer.
Bob Watson. Former first baseman and general manager for the Astros and Yankees. Also played for Braves and Red Sox. Scored baseball's one-millionth run (arguable). Starred in Bad News Bears Break Training ("Let them play!"). Teammates at Fremont included Bobby Tolan and Willie Crawford, both eventual big leaguers. Passed away in early 2020. O'Leary's first first baseman's mitt was a Bob Watson model Wilson.
Many more… including the evil congressman Henry Waxman.

The NBA Bubble Snitch line. Give it a watch.

Chris Haynes.

Channing Frye.

Ep 008 - Ducks football on the rise? How is the quarantine going to play out?

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 19:17:54 GMT

Tim is excited to talk Ducks recruiting. Brian is excited for football in general.

The guys try to make sense of what the covid stuff will actually do to sports in 2020.

Stout mentions he stumbled upon watching The Basketball Tournament, but had no idea what it was. O'Leary tries to explain some of the strange rules to him.

Will we watch sports in 2020? How interested are the guys after all? Also, a small debrief on the fall 2020 sports schedule.

Ep 7. Baseball's oddball schedule for 2020 and a chat about Blazers broadcasting

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 21:13:17 GMT

First, a debrief on the 60 game schedule that Major League Baseball scratched out. It is baffling in many ways and the guys attempt to make sense of it.

The Sportlanders also have a chat about the Trail Blazers broadcast crew after the recent news that radio play-by-play man, Kevin Calabro, is stepping down after a few years behind the mic at the Rose Garden.

Tim is under the weather, but you'd never know it because of his sheer professionalism.

Sportlanders merchandise is on the horizon. Contact the Sportlanders for more info, and more on that should come in the next few weeks.

Ep 006 Soccer (!), Cam Newton, Trail Blazers Orlando chances, and the Baseball Fiasco. Bonus discussion: Bela Karolyi

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 20:27:59 GMT

Tim wants to clarify his position on soccer, which leads to an interesting discussion and the conclusion that neither Sportlander is a hater of soccer as much as it may occasionally sound like.

We move on briefly to the only NFL news worth chatting about. Cam Newton signs in New England. The Sportlanders differ in their opinion about Cam and his prospects.

The Portland Trail Blazers look to finish strong, but has the NBA rigged the process? We're not saying yes, but there aren't a whole lot of no's out there either.

How is it looking for baseball's chances in 2020? Although Brian does not cry, he is sad. Tim tries to find the silver lining in all of it as always.

Ep 005. Sportlanders. The potential dumpster fire of the MLB season is addressed. Where have you gone Bernardo Brito?

Wed, 24 Jun 2020 19:12:52 GMT

Brian and Tim try to figure out what big league baseball is going to look like. O'Leary is trending toward eternal frustration. Stout is a bit more optimistic.

Show Notes:

Mentioned:

Eastern Stars by Mark Kurlansky

Essentially, a history of San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, using the Dominican Winter League team, the Eastern Stars (in English) as the catalyst for the story. San Pedro de Macoris is known also as the cradle of shortstops. Highly recommended reading.

Sammy Sosa's transformation: A bleaching cream? Who knows…

Baltimore Sun article on Sosa's transformation.

A tweet showing Sammy then and now.

Neymar, the Brazilian soccer player who appears to have done the Sosa/Michael Jackson treatment.

The top transformation in soccer history? A tweet from 2014.

Steve Sailer from 2014 on Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa, and Neymar.

I don't know what to make of these transitions…Reading a lot more on Latin American history may help. I can only shoot it through the prism of the study I have done on Revolutionary Cuba in college and through reading about baseball in the Dominican Republic, of which Eastern Stars by Mark Kurlansky is a very good resource. I have limited knowledge or interest in soccer and I have limited knowledge but a keen interest in Brazil. I know next to nothing about Michael Jackson except what has been widely available in the pop culture during my lifetime. I am at a loss to come up with any semblance of a coherent theory about what all these guys have done. ~BO'L

Ep. 003 Sportlanders. Future of sports in 2020 is clear as mud.

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 03:57:49 GMT

Brian and Tim sort out the confusion between George Blanda and Slingin' Sammy Baugh from last week's episode. We touch on traditionalists vs. purists in sport. The NBA playoff picture is as clear as mud, as are the prospects for the Major League Baseball Season. Good news: If this fall has sports, it will be awesome!

Ep 002 Sportlanders. Ducks football & what in the world are NBA and MLB up to?

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 01:03:01 GMT

Brian and Tim dive into the quarterback situation at U of Oregon, touch on the NBA's latest plan, and continue to try and make sense of what Major League Baseball is doing.

Ep 001 Sportlanders. The Premiere! Quarantine golf, Baseball, and the Blazers.

Sun, 31 May 2020 04:37:42 GMT

Brian and Tim set sail on their inaugural Sportlanders podcast, touching on Tiger vs. Phil and Manning vs. Brady, what a potential baseball season could look like for the major leagues, and the Blazers chances and the NBA in general if a postseason comes to fruition.
