The Rollo and Slappy Show

Boxing is typically more of a fringe sport compared to the most popular American sports, but that does not mean that huge amounts of money aren’t involved.  But recently, boxing has taken a front seat in the world of sports thanks to the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor fight.  Since it’s been in the news, […] The post Episode 57 – Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin and state courts vs private courts appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

Sometimes people are just so wrong that you rebut them twice! This is the case with Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at John Hopkins University, who recently made the following tweets: The problem I have with libertarianism is the assumption that humans won’t, given the opportunity, build condos on top of a live volcano.  The […] The post Episode 56 – How the disincentive of untransferred risk helps to regulate the market appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

Mark Shea has a blog on Patheos.com called “Catholic and Enjoying It!” that I stumbled upon the other day.  Both Slappy and I are practicing Catholics and we both agree that our libertarian views are not only compatible but also complimentary to our Catholic views.  So when we see a fellow Catholic come after our […] The post Episode 55 – Mark Shea says libertarianism is incompatible with Catholicism, but we rebut him appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

Hurricane Harvey has hit the Houston area and has brought with it huge amounts of rain.  The area has been hit hard and there is a great need for resources.  With people trying to stock up before the storm and with limited transportation for supplies after the storm, it’s difficult to keep the shelves stocked.  […] The post Episode 54 – Hurricane Harvey and price gouging in Houston appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

There’s been a lot of virtue signaling over the last week or so regarding what happened in Charlottesville.  Yes, everyone hates the Nazis and white supremacists, but should we take a step back and think about how we should treat them?  We of course don’t have to accept their ideas, but how should we treat […] The post Episode 53 – Brave The World talks about Charlottesville and how we should treat our enemies appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

This one is going to be fun.  After Rollo just appeared on his show to talk about private regulation in the oil refinery industry and state borders, Jeremiah Harding joins us on this episode to talk about the train wreck that is Gary Johnson.  None of us believe that he deserves anything but disdain.  Jeremiah […] The post Episode 52 – Jeremiah Harding on Gary Johnson appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

There have been a few stories in the past few weeks that have pushed the envelope on what is acceptable free speech.  Slappy and Rollo give their views on two notable cases, “Sandwichgate” and the texting suicide case of Conrad Roy.  What constitutes your rights as it relates to speech and how might the market […] The post Episode 51 – The Free Speech Episode appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

The police often shirk responsibility for their actions by saying that they were just doing their jobs.  They don’t write the laws, they just enforce them.  This defense was proven to be completely absurd with the violent arrest of Juanita Mendez-Medrano for selling flowers on the side of the road…without a license!  Cue the horror […] The post Episode 49 – The violent arrest of flower saleswoman Juanita Mendez-Medrano and the problem of state-granted licensing appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.

It’s such a common mistake, but people make it all the time.  People tend to assume that their intentions for any given law are enough to justify their support of it.  This makes it awkward when a libertarian says, “I’m against the Civil Rights Act.”  Are libertarians racist or is there something more to their […] The post Episode 48 – The Civil Rights Act and libertarianism appeared first on Inside McFloogle's Mind.
