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.

Then it’s off to the dusty plains of FreedomFest, where liberty-lovers, crypto cowboys, and anti-authoritarian oddballs gather in the name of ideas too spicy for polite society. Jason and Mark dive into the wild mix of intellectual debates, free-market evangelism, and just the right amount of tinfoil that makes FreedomFest the Woodstock of the libertarian world.

Whether you’re sipping bourbon or black coffee, this episode is your invitation to toast the madness of monarchy, the beauty of dissent, and the weird, wonderful chaos of living free. No gods, no masters—just microphones, mischief, and a few hard truths.

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.

Wrapping up with the latest Dave Portnoy hissy fit - a perfect example of what not to do if you have a problem with someone.

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.

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 response to Amazon's spelling out of tariff price increases, and Andrew Schulz' take on that situation
