It’s No Kings Day, and your favorite philosophical troublemakers, Jason and Mark, are raising a glass to freedom—and questioning the price of it. In this spirited episode of If By Whiskey, the duo unpacks the meaning behind No Kings Day: a cheeky celebration of self-governance, independence, and the radical idea that no one rules unless you let them.
We come roaring back with a tribute to Scott Adams and our "Simulation Sip"; a look at the LA immigration riots and the totally organic, grassroots protests; Then the big ticket item-- Just war theory. What is it, does anyone practice it, and of course we get into the Israel-Gaza conflict as a major case study.
Wrapping up with the latest Dave Portnoy hissy fit - a perfect example of what not to do if you have a problem with som...
Looking at the fracturing of right-wing media voices. People we have respected for other reasons are going off the rails-- as you might expect from right-wingers. Good on a few things, but bad on most.
Clips of Jordan Peterson, James Lindsay, Tim Dillon, and more!
Bob Lement of Static Radio, one of the first 50 podcasts ever made, joins Mark and me for some conspiracy talk.
Get out your tin foil hats!
Our friend and fellow libertarian, Jesse, joins us for a wide ranging conversation. We talk libertarian party, woke right, Trump's tariffs, and all sorts of fun stuff on this week's "If By Whiskey"
Apologies for subpar audio quality-- I tried to salvage it as somehow it was recorded through the camera and not my main microphone. It's a little better than the original live recording. Someday I'll be able to live stream without any hiccups... but I guess not today
Looking at the persuasion mistakes by the White House respo...
Does the rise of "podcastistan" mean the news is done? Are comedian podcasters the new 'establishment'? Would that be a bad thing? Find out here on Anarcho-Caffeinated
We finish up the discussion of Douglas Murray and all the wild commentary around the "expert" debate. Narrowing our definition of woke right and mocking those who push the term on the wrong people.
Looking back at Dave Rubin's rise to fame - did he do it by gatekeeping? Why are Rogan's friends trying to shut down his conversations? Are we dumbing down conversations because we're afraid of what dumb people might misunderstand about them?
We parse through the fallout of Douglas Murray vs. Dave Smith, and revisit the "woke right". James Lindsay and co. continue to embarrass themselves with an incorrect association.
Is the "free market of ideas" leading us to truth?
Join me on Anarcho-Caffeinated to hear my thoughts about Eric Weinstein's comments on the subject.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
