Deep Thoughts - The Brian D. O'Leary Show - Ep 90
The Brian D. O'Leary Show
The Brian D. O’Leary Show October 12, 2023 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. Links on topics mentioned are below… Brian O’Leary home page The O’Leary Letter Natural Order Podcast Brian O’Leary on 𝕏-Twitter ...

The Brian D. O’Leary Show June 21, 2023 Show notes available: Daily 3 1. Discipline: If you’re offering excuses for your behavior, don’t accept the offer. 2. Boundaries: Define your own. Don’t let others define your own boundaries. 3. “I make myself rich by making my wants few.” ~Thoreau. Just marinate on this thought and see if it makes sense or if it is mere blowhardiness.

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.
