Barnhardt Podcast

In this episode, amid a few cases of buzzing interference, we discuss Koko the "talking" gorilla's final release from a life of chocolatey abuse from Penny Patterson, the media's melancholy about this precious primate, and set the record straight about the extent of an animal's ability to communicate with humans. Not that humans are all great communicators: we cover news that broke this past week that the female Officer of the Deck and the female Tactical Action Officer (two people who should be in constant communication when a ship is at sea) were not speaking to one another. It's not yet know if this was a matter of incompetence or a cat-fight that got out of control but the result was massive damage to a billion-and-a-half dollar ship and funerals for several of the sailors. Our ability as humans to communicate ideas and concepts is a wonderful gift: it would be a shame if our neglect and abuse of this gift resulted in something unfortunate.

In this episode we discuss the natural state of man which is to be fruitful and multiply, so much so that modern dual-income, no-child couples instinctively realize there's a hole in their life and turn to furry quadrupeds as an ersatz replacement (even going as far as introducing their canine as "their dogter"). Related to this "four legs are better than two" insanity is a diminishing of the dignity of human life, which only accelerates the momentum behind the contraceptive mentality and exacerbates the problems of abortion, infanticide, murder, and euthanasia.

In this episode we LOUDLY discuss a recent US Navy investigation which revealed that only 27 of 164 randomly selected, “qualified” officers could carry out their duties without any concerns. While we can guess at the causes for this it’s symptomatic of world-wide slide toward mediocrity and away from manly virtues, meekness being a big one. During this month of the Sacred Heart it would behoove His advice to “Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart!”

In this episode we update the saga of Tiny Princess with our first guest on the podcast: SuperMommy! We also discuss the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which went into effect today and that, in theory, could make Bitcoin illegal under EU law. And who remembers that Netflix used to send physical DVDs by mail? All of this plus several geeky references and quasi-random tangents betraying SuperNerd’s somewhat sleep-deprived state and we have our longest “snack pack” yet!

In this episode we discuss SuperNerd’s new Tiny Princess — which is why we didn’t have a podcast last week — her diagnosis of holoprosencephaly, and explore the world’s flawed notions of which lives are of value, including the case of Baby Alfie whom the British National Health Service would like to sacrifice on the altar of naturalism, materialism and utilitarianism (in other words: freemasonry). And a collection of tangents where we tried not to linger around the stale Big Macs as we talked about Trump and the FBI, the martyred president of Ecuador (not Colombia) Gabriel Garcia Moreno…

In this episode we discuss the glories of the 1570 (pre-1955) Holy Week Liturgies and curious timing of Bergoglio's latest comments on hell which came at the very time we contemplate Christ's conquest over sin and death: if there's no hell for unsaved souls, why did Christ do what He did? And if soul annihilation is a thing then humans have no more dignity than an animal -- which has massive logical and moral consequences (why not shoot up the YouTube HQ or a high school? the people there are just animals who need to be culled...) We also covered the recent revelations that child pornographers have exploited the BitCoin blockchain to share links to child pornography online and muse whether we'll have to stoop to similar tactics to share information about the Faith at some point in the future as the Truths of Christ and His Church become too revolutionary to speak aloud.

In this episode we discuss the recent Lettergate news and the myriad layers of indirection and redefinition of who said what.. which tends to happen when they don't believe all of that [solemn nonsense] in the Vatican. We also debate the relative merits of sticking your neck out for the Truth in a time of seemingly universal deception and the critical questions of "Are the Germans always right?" and "Was Anakin Skywalker's birth legend" a blaspheme against the Immaculate Conception or are we getting so far off topic we need to be beamed up now?
