| 0:25.6 | The ripple fact. I'm I'm I'm |
| 0:38.3 | I'm |
| 0:39.3 | I'm |
| 0:40.3 | I'm What's up? Another episode of the Rippleflect. And what a great show I have for you today, a great discussion with my guest. You guys might know him. He's the host of the Skeptico podcast, Alex Tiscarius. It was a fun discussion. We did a lot of agreeing in the beginning of the show and then a lot of disagreeing at the end of the show. |
| 1:28.3 | But that's what makes this show fun and interesting is that people like Alex and myself, |
| 1:33.9 | we're not afraid of pushing back. We're not afraid of challenging ideas. And we're also okay |
| 1:38.7 | and comfortable with people challenging our ideas. So really fun discussion. Hold on because in the beginning of the show, |
| 1:45.8 | it sounds like I'm going to do most of the talking. It sounds like we're going to agree on just |
| 1:49.4 | about everything. And then later in the show, that's when we kind of start, I shouldn't say |
| 1:53.7 | butt heads, but we start disagreeing a little bit and pushing back a little bit. And that's really |
| 1:58.0 | the parts of the show sometimes I like best because let's see if there's flaws in our logic and our thinking let's attempt to defend our positions so i know you guys will definitely enjoy this conversation and i'm looking forward to getting feedback with that said this is a valley for valley show go to my website you can find all the of support in the show, but you can also find all the ways of watching the show. So if you guys want to see the video version of this episode, the full length episode, go to Rockfin, go to Odyssey, go to Bidchoo, go to float. I'm on all those platforms and more. You can find all those on my website rickievrans.com or the ripple effect |
| 2:35.3 | podcast.com. They're also in the show description so you can go there and find them. And then like |
| 2:40.7 | I said, you can also find ways to support the show on the ripple effect podcast.com. Go to support. |
| 2:45.6 | You can find ways to donate crypto. You can donate via PayPal, you can join my Patreon page, tip me on |
| 2:54.1 | Rockfin, and also have a merch store that is really picking up a little bit of popularity of late. |
| 2:59.8 | So I'm really glad people are buying the shirts and supporting the show that way. |
| 3:04.1 | But like I always tell you guys, if you can't support the show financially, don't worry about |
| 3:07.3 | it, just tell people about the show, share the show, upload the show. As many of you guys know, my last YouTube channel got deleted. I did start a new YouTube channel, which I'm going to be uploading just clips. And I've convinced myself that I want to start from episode one and work my way up, which I will probably regret, and I'm already starting to regret, |
| 3:24.9 | just because there's so many episodes, and it's going to take so much time to slowly catch up. |
| 3:29.5 | But my thinking was there's tons of great old episodes that I'm sure many new listeners |
